Nauseate / Camphora Monobromata / Archagathus

If I remember it right, this split should have been out at least two years ago, but due to some circumstance, this release was delayed. This CD unites 3 bands from the 3 biggest countries of our cursed planet. So welcome Nauseate - India, Camphora Monobromata - Russia, and Archagathus - Canada. As you may notice this is very Punk stuff. The cover is done in an old crusty style (black and white colors are the mainstay here, each band recorded their stuff on their own, this split oozes diy spirit what else can I say? Nauseate is the lucky band to open this mad pit. Their Grind is raw and nasty, in just the right way. Which is cool, because their first release was too messy and awful. This music has many primitive Grind/Mince elements like a moderate tempo, simple and catchy structure, dirty guitar sound and goofy vocals. You won't find anything new in this material, but on the other hand these songs are not too bad. I must admit these guys have matured, they are growing as a band and that is good. Second shot - Camphora Monobromata comes in with a nice rehearsal recording. They have prepared 6 muddy tracks for this CD (and yes, it is old stuff that was recorded 3 years ago). Generally this material is cool, but the sound is too poor and raw (in my opinion), even so I felt real aggression and power through this mud. Camphora Monobromata managed to create catchy hyper-degenerated punky rhythms that could cheer your sad ass up. We have 7 Mincing tracks from the Canadian powerhouse to close out the split. Their anger comes forward straight away; the production is tight and the sound is good. Archagathus sticks to their usual formula, there are no surprises, just old and nasty riffs which will cut your head off, haha! This material is charged with a ferocious energy and it could bite. Buzzing guitar is here, the tone is right so it sounds really great. Drums are pleasantly raw and pitch shifted growling is loud. So what else do you need for a good party?

Anorectal Ulceration - Morbid Fascination When Viewing A Human Disaster

The mighty river of gore - Gangese, gave birth to a very sick band. A band that surprised the Grind underground with its debut album. I`m talking about Anorectal Ulceration and their album Morbid Fascination When Viewing A Human Disaster. As far as I know these Indian bastards worked long and hard on this recording, my hat's off to them, these guys have done an impressive and massive job. Believe me this work worthy of listening. Starting fwith the cover design (that isn't overflowing with gore images and I respect that) the main cover of this CD is charged with toxic audio stench. I`m really excited to hear this noise, hope you are too. I'm pressing the button and… A whole bucket of rot and vomit pours straight on me, ha! This noise is ripping my guts out! The sound is pleasantly heavy and dirty, I honestly want to say that Anorectal Ulceration caught a really old and good Gore sound. In all 22 songs I hear a lot of juicy inspiration from LDOH and Regurgitate (these guys definitely chose the right direction). Buzzing sound from chainsaw guitar combines perfectly with the disgusting blasting drums. The distorted growls are fucking mad! Oh wait a minute, I just found a secret of this sound. Mixing and mastering was done by old pervert Guillaume (Pulmonary Fibrosis), that guy knows how to create perfect Gore. I do not want to highlight any of the songs, because all of them are badass, and they sound like one mutilated piece of flesh. And the very last dot… This album warmed my ugly heart, haha!

Grossty - Crocopter (Transcending Obscurity)

It's difficult to say objectively why in one of the most densely populated countries in the world, there is so little number of extreme bands. I can hardly count on fingers of one hand, an Indian grind scene and it's sucks. In the dense flow of different information I noticed a small note about new Grossty album. I remember I was still surprised because I have thought that the guys have split up long time ago, and after a while I have got that CD in my mail. So my friends, now we will plunge into the atmosphere of Indian grindcore :) From all grind bands from that land which I heard, Grossty was the most into grindcore way (I mean whole materials and sound). These guys were silent for 2 years as it turned out all this time they hardly amass new material and rehearsed new songs. As a result is pretty amazing they have recorded 21 song. It's also interesting that final mastering was made in USA (I guess it's the main reason why this sound is fairly well). The album with a strange name “Crocopter” has a good grind nucleus but guys do not disdain to use the old and good hardcorew punk in their songs. Unfortunately, I can not say that this album is very diverse, but the fact that it not boring is 100%. It was nice to hear a lot of interesting rhythms and also a good blast beat... and I even cannot find here what are the big minuses in it, the only thing that I didn't like, it's the bass guitar sound that seemed frankly weak. One more thing that I liked it was a small part where local folk instruments were sounding; this has added a tiny drop of India in this merry noise. 

The craziest thing I left for the end. Look at this artwork! Probably many of you had some questions about what that artist eat or smoke))). After, being considered these acid and psychedelic drawings I saw a distant resemblance to the work of great masterpiece of Salvador Dali (I think that the artist is his fan).

Snuffx - Disco Graphy part 1 & 2 (Nuclear Alcoholocaust Rec)

Many of you probably know that India is a very overpopulated country with a lot of ancient traditions and with a very dirty river Ganges (in which hundreds of corpses float) ... But few of you have heard about the extreme bands in India. And in fact they are really little in numbers, despite the fact that India is one of the biggest countries in the world. Today I will try to tell you in detail about one of the very interesting Indian noise formations. This noisy bunch of pain consists of two people.First of all I find it very nice and exciting that the guys play live instruments, there is no synthetic noise. Within a couple of years, the guys have created and released many songs, most of which were pretty cool, but sometimes (well, shit happens!) there were some shitty ones too. Today I want to introduce you to two tapes, which include the entire legacy of Indian snake charmers. Both tapes have the same covers and contain all the records (although nobody kept a chronological sequence of releases, like the others do, but it's alright) that guys managed to record to this date. The noise that SnuffX make would be much appreciated by fans of noisecore and noisegrind. But there are a lot of different releases, and also a lot of diverse material. There are also a couple of tracks in black noise metal style, and there are some powerviolence pieces as well. In simple words, the thing that these guys are doing is not a simple dull noise, which does not cost anything; they experiment a lot, and this is what I like the most. 

PS: to be honest, I somehow forgot to check how long all this double discography goes, but I think that it is more than enough for a small noisy cassette party with beer and freaking whores, haha!
