The year was 2015, 2 guys start jamming together just for fun, but in a short time they understand that all their noise deserves to be shown to the world. That was back 3 years ago in Adelaide, so far these guys have recorded many good songs. They’ve also put a huge tour in US under their belt. And now, a week ago they started their tour in Europe! That's why this review will be so relevant to read. Spanish label Abusive Noise Tapes was the one who put 26 tracks together and released them as a CD. Together it`s 26 minutes of strong Grindcore, which is short and good.
The first ultimate strong point of Meth Leppard is that their songs are in the same pounding vein, but are really different from each other. Where Grindcore bands tend fall in the trap of repetition, consciously but more often reluctantly because they just run out of ideas (that is very sad, but true), ML manages to find new themes and hooks for every track. Second is their riffs, try to listen to these songs closely and you will find a lot of different approaches, Ryan is really a riff machine. He has managed to make so many simple but catchy noises with his guitar. But not only guitar is vibrant here, take a look at these fast and crazy blast beats. Sometimes the snare and bass drum sound so savage, I bet that Kieran lost few pounds during all these recording sessions, haha! Really skillful and furious drumming to say the least. It's a solid record, though rather bare-bones and straightforward, and I can easily recommend it to most of the straightforward, oldschool Grind fans out there. Those who are looking for something more involved, soft and original, though, would be encouraged to look elsewhere.

Red – means danger… and honestly to say this tape pretends to this title. Behind the minimalistic design is hidden the discography of a young US band, ADHDOD (I find it pretty strange, because band has only a few releases and in my opinion it's pretty early to make disco, but anyway we have what we have). This release contains all records these boys did in 2016. But, do not let yourself be deceived by a young name, yes this band is a pretty new one, but these guys know what to do. First of all I want to highlight the aggressive manner, these inhabitants of Nevada act so violent. Their hardcore/powerviolence awakens primitive emotions which are hidden deep inside of us. While listening to these songs you're at ease. Understand that a big desire grows inside your head, a great desire which wants only one thing. It wants to jump into the circle pit and ruin everything. Hmm, I guess that the most expressive part here is the vocals. Evil, powerful, a little bit hoarse… this loud yelling makes all the atmosphere on this tape. Next in value is a crispy bass guitar sound (exactly what I like), drum attack and buzzing guitars end this list. Most of the songs are in extremely hardcore genre but sometimes thru this hardcore wall breaks good old punk (like in the song “Magic” ). Well in total we have here 22 songs at a little bit more than 20 minutes of fast pv/hc.
