Controlled Existence / Headless Death (Dead Heroes rec)


Be careful boys and girls, this split is very spicy. This is the place where Czech fastness meets with Australian primitivism. This release sounds like a weird kind of yin and yang, on one side we have ferocious evil and on the other side we have same evil but more angry and barbaric. As you already understand, this is a very strong release, with which you need to be more careful. So let's taste this piece of noise! 
Czech fellas from Controlled Existence recorded some very “unpleasant” (for someone of course) material. This noise is fast like a rocket and toxic like snake venom. Fast catchy riffs slowly poison your mind; thunderous drumming continuously nails you down. Wild screaming like an abrasive piece of sandpaper, it erases the eardrums and causes terrible pain. The last song on this 7” is a cover of Warsore, and I must say it sounds impressive. It's really a pity that this side is so damn short... 
Headless Death is a horde Proto-Neanderthal guys from Australia. Their noise is so savage and the riffs are so heavy, that it often sounds messy and raw, but that is the point. The drum work crashes with a terrific rage, playing into the song’s overall ferocity in tempo and tone. The same could be said about the vocals: it`s really dreadful and primitive (in a good way). Sometimes drums and vocals are too loud and they get cluttered among everything else, but I believe it is a necessary element of conception. And, for the last song the guys chose to cover Voorhees.

Headless Death - A Hideous Warning (Regurgitated Semen Records)

Wow, I can’t believe my eyes… One of the most disorganized bands (in Australia for sure) finally released their first full length album! I know that they had recorded almost all parts more than 2 years ago (pretty huge delay isn’t it?) but the final mixing was made only now. That`s pretty suck, but I`m truly happy that this recording wasn`t lost in time. Before putting this CD into my player I want to check the visual part of this release. A Hideous Warning has two covers. First, a choked moron (with a garbage bag on this head) and the second one is monstrous black & white collage (that rotten Iguana looks fantastic!). You can choose which one you want to show to your mother, haha! And now, it's time to dig deeply into these noises. First of all I can honestly say that these songs are impressive. The whole album is like a 20 ton primitive beast! Violent, barbarian, extremely aggressive… A Hideous Warning is some really strong work. The whole sound of this album is soaked with ancient mold and rot. I can clearly feel influences of old grind bands such as Repulsion and Terrorizer. The sound of the guitar is so heavy and low, also it has a tiny taste of death metal. The same can be said about bass and drums, there is not any hint for modern things. This album has a great heavy and dark atmosphere; you will really feel it in the end of the album... These guys managed to create something really rad with only a few simple riffs. Hm, that is insane, how can this small piece of plastic cause the most primitive feelings (I really felt how the anger fills my veins)? I have a super strong feeling that this album will fall in top 10 grind albums of the year!

HEADLESS DEATH!

Headless Death was formed in 2011 by the human rubble left over from Roskopp and Pathetic Human. Totally embittered but too stupid to bail out of grindcore for good, Christoph, Lachie and Zev dragged Fil from Rort into the mix, then burped out a demo tape before Fil had time to learn the songs properly.

6 months and a bunch of shows later, Zev pulled another dick move and went AWOL. Ignoring this opportunity to turn their shitty lives around (by quitting), Christoph, Fil and Lachie pressed on as a 3 piece. With this lineup they pointlessly subjected more people, including 2 rooms full of idiots in Adelaide, to a storm of resentful noise and piercing feedback.

Returned to full strength as of late 2012, Headless Death backs itself further into a dead end as deteriorating personal circumstances, bad debts and disrespect to Pintado's ghost take their toll.

A torrent of sour mockery, repulsive dino-grind, apoplectic blasts, insufferable clunky slowdowns; an horrendous vision of Lachie's Patrick Swayze hair as Headless Death finally crushes your skull.
