Here is a small split tape with two old rock star bands, haha! Two different lands and two really diverse collections. So here we go...

Some time ago, this old monster of a band lost a guitar player, but the guys adapted and continued their existence without the 6 string unit. Personally, I think it makes this band more unique. The unique lineup transforms the style into something more primitive with overgrown low frequencies. Here you have a chance to hear a bunch of dirty barbaric songs. Most of them have good intense riffs and stuctures, but there are a couple of boring parts. Regardless, this material definately deserves your attention. The bass guitar tone is so dirty and powerful. Actually, it sounds pretty close to a guitar! I like how those harsh vocals compliment the bass. They really add to the brutal primitive sound. And let's not forget about the last song... There's a really cool solo on the acoustic bass guitar (this one with clean sound). It was a really good idea to record such a thing. Unique ending.

Next is a powerful attack of rotten hardcore/noise-punk from Captain Three Leg. Their songs are short and sharp. I really love the style of these old bandits. They just play what they want. No fucks given! "Hardcore punk? Okay lets do that! Noise? Why not?". Okay I agree that not everything that they did was perfect but most of their stuff is great. On this tape we will hear many fast, simple riffs but they remain interesting too. The many short dialog samples also make this album entertaining. Fuck!! that old yelling style of singing and nasty, noisy bass guitar sound is real fun. The main schtick of C3L it`s never-ending sarcasm and black comedy in their songs... These things annoy many people, hahaha)
Rating: Dysmorfic 7/10 Captain Three Leg 8/10

My friends, what would happen if we try to mix chainsaw and jackhammer, and put a speaker above all this stuff? And these guys from Italian band Dysmorphic, are already made it many years ago and but it in active use. In the beginning of the year they,ve collected all material from 2009 to 2013 and released it on a tape (this format is being more popular for this few years). Tapes and cassetes with a bright cover are my weakness, I must admit it, and I accidently got a copy with a red cover. I’m a not their great fan and understood all tracks from second listening, and it has really big difference between music an cover. When you look at the tape you can imagine guys playing neogrind or deathcore (I’m really sorry), but it’s how far wrong. From very benning you can hear the hard wall of sound, mixed on a death metal, with some grind/punk arrangements, but mostly thi is deathgrind. I think as death metal fans, as grindcore fans, both will be interested in this release. The best tracks for me are “Greed” and “Nyab Cover”.
The score is 6.5/10 Grindfather prod Dysmorfic
