Split Concussive/Scum Human out now at Nihilistic Despair Records!

Split tape Concussive / Scum Human!

Concussive / Scum Human (Regurgitated Semen Records)

Did you miss the good ol' powerviolence? Were you looking for something solid that will crush your skull? Well then, I can recommend this humble but very angry split. German label RSR released two debut material from two bands on one record. Let's take a closer look on what we have here.
OK, side A, here we have a demo record of Concussive from California. 15 songs in almost 4 minutes full of anger. Songs are short, fast, rough, full of violent vibe, they did a very good job on this record. Great and memorable guitar riffs are backed up with very raw sound, which is very important for powerviolence, if you ask me.

Scum Human (Canada) was one hell of a discovery for me last year. Powerful, "balls of steel"-like, fast and very angry, their music is able to fucking kill you, haha! Their material reminded me of an old school powerviolence. There's a lot of distinctive change of tempo which crush your bones and then slowly grind it to the concrete. Это смертоносный шум мне напомнил нечно среднее между старыми работами Apartment 213 и Spazz. This deadly joyful noise reminded me of something like old Apartment 213 and Spazz.

Concussive / Endless Swarm

Pain. This is the word that comes to my mind when I look at this cover. The artist manadged to pick some really provokative and horrible pictures. There is everything there: diseases, tortures, experiments on people and animals. Creepy art - that's what I say... Fortunately the music is not as creepy and horrible as the cover itself :) Two bands from two different places meet up on one small but beautiful piece of plastic. Both bands advocate powerviolence, but each of them do it in their own way.

Concussive - California/USA. Excellent example of the new wave of powerviolence. These guys have the spirit of old school. Concussive play fast and agressive, so fast they managed to squeeze 5 tracks in 2 minutes, hehe!) Their raw sound is pretty nice. The sound like this is very appropriate for this genre (for example if you record the same material with clean quality sound it will sound like shit). Also, there is no big difference in the tempo of the songs, guys decided in favor of the insane presentation and speed and that was a right decision!

Endless Swarm - Edinburgh city/Scotland. One of a few scottish bands. They don't wear kilts like their ancestors but trust me, these guys could kick anyone's ass, hahaha!) They differ from their colleagues Endless Swarm by the solidity of sound first of all (this is because guys add some grind into their violence). Tempos differ from mid to hell fast that makes it sound very pleasing to the ear. And Graham's vocals reminded me of good old Apartment 213 and Spazz.
