Grind split? Good. Grind split
with two Brazilian bands - it's even better! This split might be old... and
it`s already begun to rot... but I really want to review this example of a
primitive Brazilian grindcore. The first band on this split is a band with a
cute name Crotch Rot. It`s hard to believe, but there are two girls playing in
this band and you have to agree that it`s pretty rare for goregrind. Their
primitive and aggressive song reminded me a bit of the Czech grind scene...
Why? That's all because there are a lot of stupid, primitive dance rhythms with
odd silly vocals. There is no piercing straightforwardness that is common for
Brazilian grind bands (the gold standard, so to speak), but it doesn't mean
that this material sucks. I guess I was surprised by the unusual material and
their desire to sound like European bands. There is a very good combination of
screams/pig gruntings (without distortion) and vocals with pitshifter. But
truth be told, I cannot say that I liked Crotch Rot very much...
However, I really liked Shitfun, local residents of the Brazilian ghetto. Their music has absolutely no hint of a variety and experimentalism. The guys do not bother about complicated rhythms and guitar riffs, this duo is playing what they like. They play straight, primitive and armor-piercing grindcore. Simple, strong, dirty and noisy... this music is definitely not for the fans of Antigama or Nasum, ahaha!
