FARŠAS!

Coming from Vilnius, Lithuania, (North-East Europe), where not many grind bands come from... FARŠAS (Lithuanian for "ground meat"), a bass fronted, grindcore trio inspired by and developed from many years of participation in various goregrind, metal, hc/punk, grindcore, noise etc. projects. Formed in late 2009 FARŠAS comes as a fresh outlook and raw sound representing todays Lithuanian current hot topics and overall scene with classic super-fast grindcore inspired by the best... and not necessarily well known! Now on a brink of new full length album, stay tuned to hear more from the honest breed of the northern slums.

Faršas - Kažkaiptai Nejuokinga (Epileptic Media)

"Hello, do you have a minute to talk about our God - grindcore?" Oh, I've been waiting for this release for so long. Their previous album Bėdų Turgus got me really hooked! And the time has come and finally Epileptic Media showed us a photo with a ready-to-go release! Of course, I got this tape in my possession after a while. For starters, let's disappoint a bit those who expected the same Faršas as we heard last year. Kažkaiptai Nejuokinga is different in many things, different song style, such as the sound, the bass here sounds more like guitar. Overall it's more like traditional grindcore that sometimes takes some fastcore/powerviolence tropes, no mincecore influence, but "Seth Putnam"-styled vocal is still here :) 
I listened to these 20 songs for 5 times or so, and without a doubt Faršas deserves to be noticed. This is a true killer grindcore with an outstanding blasbeats, awesome bass sound and overwhelming screams (with some pitch-shifters here and there). And one of the most noticeable songs on this release is Georgijaus juostelė, as I've been informed by band's members, it's about foolish fanatics of USSR system (by the way, it is performed in crust-punk manner). Also I would like to note a great cover on "Cool Guy" by legendary Spazz, well performed, to say the least, Chris Dodge and Max Ward would definitely approve this :)
Add a pleasing eye artwork and vinous-black desing of the tape to all that mentioned above and you got yourself a release worth having a place in your collection.

Faršas (04.06.15)

Hi, amigo! Well, you’ve finally been caught in the net of our blog, hehe) 

Hey! Thanks for the opportunity, it's great being in the same net with some big sharks!

You belong to the minority of bands that play music without guitars. How did you come up with this idea? Maybe you haven’t found guitar player or because of some other reasons? 

I think we started out just with bass and drums, thinking that maybe in the future we'll find a guitar player, but then decided to keep it that way, as it seemed to be just fine. I play power chords with big fuzz, imitating a guitar, but it sounds heavier than guitar... because it's bass! If you disagree we can go on a wrestling match...  Everything is just easier and more fun with less people. Also I believe it looks more fascinating from viewers perception when it's only three of us on stage and we have no guitars. But that's a matter of taste, i suppose.

This will be badass!

Faršas - Bėdų Turgus (Besotis Besarmatis)

You know, sometimes you think to yourself that you just sitting on your ass drinking beer being sure that your collection of musical chaos is pretty much enough, you already got the best in your collection, and then BAM! There’s an album released this year that make you jump and mosh in your room, and your thoughts are “HOW THE FUCK DID I MISS THIS?!”
That kind of surprise to me is an album of the band Faršas from Lithuania , they perform literally forcemeat, and their name means forcemeat in Lithuanian. I found them completely by accident and their music is always a honorary guest in my playlist. To be honest, I didn’t even know that there are people in this country who play this kind of music, makes me want to know more about different country’s underground scene. By the way, they perform without the guitars, only bass!
The cover isn’t very obvious, some people standing in the hall, nurses and the patient under the sheet looking at you. I think I can’t understand any of this because I don’t really know the background of this art, anyway, don’t judge the book by its cover, the book itself is what matters, hehe!
Musically, Faršas is a mincecore-influenced vigorous grindcore. Violent crunchy-noisy bass make the sound really solid, drummer is also doing his job more than great, also I should notice different styles of vocals. Great roars mixed with crazy squalls, Seth Putnam’s legacy lives! 
Overall, these 11 tracks is a pleasant discovery indeed. If you love good solid grindcore – you definitely should give it a listen.
