Bloody Phoenix / Lycanthrophy / Skunk / Disturbance Project (Dead Heroes rec)
It has been years since this album was released, I wanted this LP so much, but only this year I got a chance to get this beautiful beast, haha! Yeah I know, all the bands on this release are bloody good, I don’t need to go into detail about them… But the names were not the first thing that caught my eye. Look at this artwork, this image is absolutely killer! It was made by Szymon Siech (VBRRTRD.com) and this work perfectly fits with this noise and incredibly conveys the atmosphere of madness from all 4 bands. But, enough about the artwork, let's jump into our first band on the line - Bloody Phoenix!
As far as I know this is the final recording from Bloody Phoenix and they are here to harm your ears with 5 brutal songs for the last time. The songs are overflowing with ferocity, each track feels like a strong punch. Savage screams, crazy blast beats and buzzing guitar sound, that’s what we want to hear from this band and we are given all of the above. I want to highlight the last song Bella Ciao. This really crazy song was made with the inspiration of weird Russian groove war songs, and honestly, it sounds very great. But there is one negative moment in this material. The sound is not loud enough, everything sounds a bit dumb.
Czech Fastcore warriors Lycanthrophy are honored veterans of the European Noise scene. I’m glad that they are on this split. If you have heard this band once you will recognize them every time. They have their own crazy style and powerful speed. The vocals are especially spicy here, but the riffs are good too. Punky blasting is simply badass and the bass sound makes this mess decent. They recorded 9 songs for this split, but it`s very hard to notice pauses between songs, so this material sounds like one big and mad swarm of the piranhas.
Skunk is responsible for the Crust mood on this LP. These Canadian fuckers know how to create really cheerful and groovy music. Simple and catchy riffs, clear structures and a ton of dirty power, that’s what Skunk sounds like. The caveman vocals are sick, and I can say the same about their guitar tone. Goofy drums are here too, together they are creating very cohesive noise, that sticks to you and makes start to sing the rhythms. This band has two members from Archagathus, I guess that is the main reason why these riffs sound very similar to Arch material.
Spanish grinders from Disturbance Project are closing this rodeo. This band is very sharp and dangerous... Their Noise comes at you lighting fast, like a Bullet Train of fist-pumping perfection. All the songs are short (it`s a standard of Grindcore) and charged with huge load of energy. This combination of riffs, vocals, and blasting drumming could be compared with a harsh fight. While listening to this band you will imagine yourself inside the cage during an MMA-style match. The bottom line, however, is this is an old split but, it’s still one of the best split’s to come out over the last few year.

Lycanthrophy / Chiens
Let's keep on digging into our collection from our Czech friends Dead Heroes Records. This time we will turn back the dial for a moment and make a review of the Lycanthrophy & Chiens split. I have no idea who Jubsss is but this guy definitely has a talent in drawing! Just look how interesting he represented different social diseases in just one picture. Here we've got the theme of rotten religion, worldwide conspiracy (I judge like this looking on the all-seeing eye), nazism and corruption.Very good work, at least the visual part of the release is worthy, hehe))
Czech guys Lycanthrophy surprised me a little bit (in a bad sense) that Zdíša (the most famous girl in the fastcore universe:)) ) didn't take part in recording this release. But as I know (this is not a fact) she was pregnant at the time and it isn't strange she is absent on the recording. But don't mind that. Even without Zdíša guys don't loose their force and their own style. Here we got the same insane Czech fastcore which blows the brain! As for me, the main Lycanthrophy feature, besides the female vocals, was the furious speed, and we have a lot of it there.
French Grindcore always was someway different from the others. Especially in the guitar riffs. So Chiens sound different too. I can't say I enjoyed their sound but the material is great. I have specifically memorized that sharp guitar sound and various screaming vocals. And yes, it's hard to refresh after that furious outcome. There's a feeling like you're being punched by a muai-tai fighter.
