Malad/Harsh Supplement (Rotova Porojnina Records)

I really don't know why but noisecore guys really like tape. Noise labels are releasing a ton of cassettes per year. I guess it's a pretty comfortable format for them. Young Ukrainian label Rotova Porojnina Records just released this harsh tape and gave me this one for review. It's a split between Canadian noise veterans Harsh Supplement and Ukrainian noise duo Malad. Hm, this short tape has really crazy artwork… I`m pretty sure that this art mass was made by a really stoned and mad designer, haha! But we are here for the noise, so let's look into the dark void of noisecore depths... Let's taste this first noise cocktail - Malad! I've known this band from the beginning… and I must confess in the early years these guys sounded horrible. But with passing years they found the right way and now they sound much better. This recording session is pretty much dirty… distorted sound of the bass guitar makes a real mess. Sadly I can't say that I am satisfied with their side 100%, but anyway there were a lot of good moments. Stupid wall of aggression, yelling. blast beats and pure improvisation. That`s what we call Malad! The second long drink is really strong. Old duo Harsh Supplement knows how to create really high energy shit. Yes I know that almost all of their stuff is of bad quality, their sound is definitely not the best. BUT, their material is full of real ferocity and power. This recording is pretty wild, it's like the guys tried to put all of their negative emotions in this noise. It seems that these roars, yells and screams were recorded in some kind of zoo, hahah! That shit sound really wild. Rating: Malad - 6 Harsh Supplement - 7

Agathocles / Harsh Supplement (Supplemental Records & Tapes)

Here is a small D.I.Y. cassette that contains a lot of dirt, mold, and noise. It was released by the boys from Harsh Supplement on their own label. I honestly could not understand what the hell it is on the cover art. This abstraction remains a mystery to me)))
There is much talk about the music of AG, but I just simply enjoy each of their releases. Agathocles is one of those bands that does not invent a bicycle again, they just continue doing what they can do best. This split will kick your ass with 12 tracks of good old AG. Raw material with dirty sound but at the same time is completely readable. Mincecore flavored with some punk dirt. Classic Belgian aggressiveness and courage, all right there. By the way this material was recorded at their permanent Studio Geel (Belgium) in 2013. PS: anyone can tell what is the current count of releases by these Belgians?
Harsh Supplement - classic noisecore. I can not say that the guys could really surprise me, but I just can not say it's crap. Aggressive, chaotic, noisy, in the foreground is screaming and ass kicking drummer, guitar is a bit lost there, but it's cool, since it makes it even more noisy. It's nice that everything is played live, not produced on a computer at home.

Rating - Agathocles: 7,5 / 10   Harsh Supplement: 7/10
