As you may know, music underground is a cheerful and friendly place.
People in this community help each other in different ways, and I think
this is great! Here is another proof of "underground friendship" - 8
labels gathered and published this split together. This modest
seven-inch vinyl includes two excellent bands: international team Matka
Teresa and Polish guys from Suffering Mind!
Our lives are
poisoned with all types of crap that surrounds us... Our minds are
infected with information disease. All those bastards want to make us to
do what we do not like - to fight, to die. And it is not even clear for
what and for whom!!!!!!! It just happens that we are now going through
big and complex time of multiple military conflicts. In fact, World War
has already begun long time ago and we just go deeper and deeper into
this mud. This split is called «Next Children Generation», its design
was made by vocalist of Matka Teresa. To
tell the truth, among the many types of art design of grindcore things
the most "catchy" themes for me are those depicting innocent children.
It becomes truly terrible when you see kids with guns, starving and
dying. And even a complete idiot would understand that those old men
with their power and their games that go too far are the ones to be
blamed.
In the good old tradition of grind / crust / noise / pv bands love to make splits. The result of this love I now happy to hold in my hands. Two continents meet each other on this tape. Good old Europe and the US. Designed in classic dark colors, the cover image shows us a house after a heavy bombing, that should make it clear even for very stupid person, that work of both bands are connected with the social topic.
Unfortunately this is the last current release from Paralyzed Society, guys probably concentrated their affords on Matka Teresa and simply do not have time to deal with the other projects. I hope, that soon we will be able to hear something new by P.S. For this record guys have prepared a very nice little intro and outro. The explosions of shells, noise of gunshots ... This is the intro here. In terms of recording it is a raw rehearsal sound, that nevertheless sounds very well. In terms of material guys have done nothing revolutionary new and remained faithful to the good old, maybe a bit dirty, grindcore. Insane screams, aggressive guitar and enduring drums, it all sounds true, and I do not care that the sound is far from ideal.
Meanwhile the band Shutdown is a fine example of a fresh wave power violence. Unfortunately this band existed not for a very long time and it's their only record. Shutdown was created by band members of such American bands as AxRxM and Bastardass. Starting with the slow rocking, guys make it faster and faster and in a blink of an eye from the speakers runs just an aggressive mess! All attributes of power violence met there and groovy pieces have increadible quick runs, beautiful bass sound, hysterical screams and the atmosphere is total fucked up.

Once upon a time, Martin and Liber from Matka Teresa were sitting in the bar with Roel Nydoom (Anal Penetration) and drinking some beer. And while talking about life and stuff, they thought: let’s make our own band! And fortunately, they got down to business and started rehearsing. First result of their efforts is a demo tape Life Is Life, and I’m about to look more closely at this tape.
The artcover depicts one unlucky guy in straight jacket, I guess they tried to express the insanity of our environment and world itself. The booklet is pretty much standart – track list, photo of the band and some information. But on the other hand, this is not just DIY tape but pro-done (4 labels cooperated in making them) and released 200 copies.
This demo contains 10 raw and fast songs, and the cool thing is there’s no cover tracks, just their own songs, so we can say they did a great job on this.
Lack of melodic guitar riffs only adds up to the songs of Parayzed Society! Rough and simple guitars – that’s what we like in old school grindcore! Martin’s vocals is like a screaming of a schizo and really stand out from the wall of noise. D-beat transiting to blastbeats sounds like a huge crowd of protestants breaking through fence to a local official, hehe! Mix it all up, and there you have it – fulminating Molotov that surely make even the biggest grindcore hater to change it’s mind!)
