Sometimes I am surprised how such a small and short splits can contain so much anger... From one side we got a pretty famous American Antichrist Demon core and from other strong and craziest French guys Chiens, both bands will show to you different sides of extreme underground music. So let's start with 2 songs from California with pals that is called ACxDC. Their songs are short, aggressive and performed in a modern hardcore way (with the addition of some other ingredients). Here you will hear many of characteristic swinging rhythms which are so lovely to use in nowadays hardcore (but personally I not a fan of such things), but I must notice that here it skips short but fast (like a gunshot) lovely blasting moments. The sound is corresponding it and has not the pleasant dirt... it’s spiny and sharp, but I can not say that it’s disgusting for hearing.
The inhabitants of the Nancy town relished for my taste better. Their grind core/hardcore makes the blood boil and it is very cool. Speed, density, aggression of everything that is in its place and it's very good to listen. Yep, it’s not kind of grind core which is so loved by the old-school fans but it is worth your attention. The sound is not very clear, also here there is a perfect harmony between all musicians, one word beauty. Beauty... but alas, it is too short, only 1.5 minutes of sound ((
Rating: ACxDC - 7/10 Chiens - 8/10
