Sete Star Sept - Revision Of Noise (Fuck Yoga Records)

Tokyo's barbaric squad Sete Star Sept has been a widely revered band from the get-go, receiving love from many people in grindcore and noise families, and has become a duly noted noise force of abnormal nature since their debut in 2004. With an endless touring schedule having them trek through the USA, all of Asia, Europe, and Russia there has been a lingering wonder in my mind where the hell they managed to find time to write and record all these records? That is true insanity! This band is very active and their discography is huge (during 2018 they've had ten releases), but back in 2010 these maniacs had released a very interesting and magical album, “Revision Of Noise”. This is a remarkable and bright piece of work... this album has structures and guitar! Obviously, this 15 minutes differs from what they're doing now. The formula of this piece is deadly simple: put some intensive power, don't forget to add blasting drums and noisy, messy sound and viola! You have a sharp and aggressive beast. The guitar here is especially good,bespecially at slow moments. Savage screams add a special atmosphere of a loony bin, haha! "Revision Of Noise" is primitive aggression, and it's also a fantastic example of a not-regular noise release. You will find a lot of punchy riffs and massive sound pressure. And yeah, this album sounds almost like grindcore, so this release will be interesting for grind freaks too. Rating: 8/10 Sete Star Sept fb

Grief - Dismal (Fuck Yoga Records)

It's been 26 years since this album was released. But with no doubt, this massive work is still potent; these songs still can crush the bones and boil the blood. It’s surprising that this iconic piece of heaviness was re-released back in 2016 by Macedonian label Fuck Yoga Records. This nice CD version has few very tasty bonuses. Except the songs from “Dismal” are remastered tracks from the Grief/Dystopia 7" Split and the “Depression” EP (10 portions of sludge in total). The whole visual part was left almost without changes. All photography was printed with craft paper and it looks like a release from early 90’s (I guess that was the goal).

Dismal is heavy in many meanings… The sound literally presses you to the ground, the songs have a slow suffocating atmosphere which is hard to perceive. This noise can be described as “slow tunes that are soaked with a toxic acid which could melt your ears and brain”. I`m a huge fan of this low guitar tone, it sounds so raw and primal. The Bass is a lethal weapon, I hear it. I feel it, it`s so monstrous, this animalistic noise raises primitive fear and anxiety. Songs like “Shoot Me...” and “Virus” could cause irreparable harm to your mental health. The vocala are so savage, I swear I can feel the suffering in these harsh screams, fuck ,that deserves respect. The sound of the drums could be compared with only hammering nails into a coffin (of course with you inside).

Verdict. Dismal is a perfect relic and great example of that how Sludge should be.

Noothgrush - S/T (Fuck Yoga Records)

It's surprising how many rare recordings are showing up these days. Look what I found! Very first demo of legendary Noothgrush has been re-released by Fuck Yoga Records. This self titled material was pressed on CDs and vinyl (so in the end the digital and analog freaks could satisfy their hunger). It's a miracle that somebody still has that tape in such nice condition. For obvious reasons I can't check the original sound however this digitized version sounds nice. I'm sure that sound engineer tried to remove all major interference but, this debut is still has its noisy and raw guts, which is so good. First of all these songs are not all that sludgy as we are used to hearing. This noise has the distinct characteristics of doom metal. The whole CD has a very interesting atmosphere. It will slowly suffocate you. Sometimes it arouses a sense of fear deep inside of your mind and it makes your skin crawl.Very strong bass guitar sound stands out (like in punk rock), it has a leading position in every song. Drums and guitar are a bit messy but, it also have a nice buzzing tone. Clean depressing vocals are especially good here, it's a huge part of this dark atmosphere. There is one small thing, it`s the background noise from the analog format. That thing spices the whole “Noothgrush” album. This edition has new gloomy art work, made by Jason Barnett btw. I like this work, it depicts some strange bird-reptoid characters, which are watching you with an unkind look, haha! Rating: 8/10 Noothgrus fb

Od Vratot Nadolu - Жива (Fuck Yoga Records)

Finally it's Sludge time on Good Guys Go Grind! Believe me boys and girls, today I dug up a very special (maybe totally unknown thing for most of you), album for you guys. I want to present you with the only work of Od Vratot Nadolu (From the Neck Down, sorry if my translation is wrong). The fact that this massive work was lost in the void of oblivion is not fair and unbelievable. This slow and beautiful full length was born in mysterious Macedonia somewhere in 2010. Unfortunately I didn't find a lot of information about this band… I know that this drum and bass duo is no longer active. Well that is truly sad, because “Жива” surprised and impressed me a lot, this album is something like Pandora's Box. The box with negative and vile emotions, which can tear you down. Both Marko (drums/vocals) and Goran (bass/vocals) put everything they had into this record. I perfectly feel the raw emotions they put into it. Hysterical, chaotic and schizophrenic tunes brings me into this noise hell. These melodies are so painful, they can even damage your mental condition, ahaha! I havent heard of many bass and drums bands (especially in the Sludge genre) but Oд Вратот Надолу proved that they are worth at least of 3 usual bands with guitars! Why you ask? Let's start with this beautiful stringed instrument. Deep and low Bass just drive me crazy, it has such great tone, and its distorted so well too. Sometimes it sounds almost like a guitar (just check “Nekoj vi gi ebe Decata”). The drum part is wonderful too. Fast, with hardcore speed and structures, these beats sound like hammer blows. The cymbals have a nice crumbling sound, that cover everything. And of course the agony fueled yelling and scream… I bet that both of these dudes had spite their lungs out by the end, haha! What a wonderful piece of work! Rating: 9/10
