Psychoneurosis - The Fall Of Humanity (Selfmadegod rec)

Only a lazy fan of extreme music hasn't heard that Psychoneurosis is back. After doing a successful split with AG and a bunch of cool gigs, these guys finally recorded a new album - this news cheers me up. Then, Selfmadegod Rec posted a preview song “Brexshit”... fuck...that was a brain-crashing song. So I started to wait for the whole album, and a few month later “The Fall Of Humanity” was in my hands… I guess Psychoneurosis tried to prepare/warn listeners about unexpected fast and ugly grind fights, that why they started with and elegant, atmospheric, and slow intro. I must say, that was a great idea because “Modern Technology” (the next song) is damn harsh. Death-grind riffs collide with bloody good blast/polka beats to create some of the most efficient grindcore warfare of this shitty year. I love this brand, heavy sound with a bit metal taste, that sound is like an indicator… When I hearing it I know that I`m listening a band from Poland, hehe! Anyway this balls to the wall material has a ton of great songs with cool guitar sound, blasting drumming, and savage vocals. Psychoneurosis managed to create a really badass grind product. Everything above is hidden in a well produced CD with badass cover art. Just look at this image, this crossover of “From Enslavement To Obliteration” looks gorgeous! Maybe this is a joke image, but fuck, the artist did a massive work with all elements, colors and other stuff. I freaking love this art and noise too!

Agathocles / Psychoneurosis

Do you remember Romeros movies? Do you remember how the dead came back to life? Sometimes it happens with old bands. Moldy Grind bastards Psychoneurosis are here again! This Polish squad is legendary, and it`s nice to see them alive. For the reunion split release they picked up Agathocles, well known noise terrorists from Belgium. All this noise was released under Selfmadegod records in CD format. I must say the result is very pleasant. 2 pieces of cover art (you can switch them to your own taste), band photos, lyrics and more. But in total we have here only 12 songs, that's not much but this split is really rad. After a screaming intro, Agathocles starts their attack. That's what I call real Mincecore! I want to highlight the sound of this recording session. Also I noted 1 small lovely change in these songs. Jan used a pitch shifter! Just a bit, but it helps to refresh the songs, in my opinion. They sound heavier now. Guitar buzzing like a mad hive of bees, and the drums are raw and fast and the bass is crispy. This is one of my favorite AG release from this year. Psychoneurosis do their best, the new material sounds heavy as fuck, haha! The sound has a slight Metal taste, also it`s massive and bulldozing. All the songs are dynamic and loud, so you won`t be bored. These guys used few different kinds of vocals, in my opinion that is good, because that makes the songs brighter. The guitar has rather Death Metal tone rather than Grind , but that's not bad at all. There is one thing that stands out in the swarming drumming. The cowbell sounds incredible here, it makes this Noise spicier. In the end I can only say that I held in my hands a robust split with two epic dinosaur bands.

Sturmovik - Destination Nowhere (Selfmadegod rec)

Crust band from Poland? Yes! Why not? Sturmovik is a rather young band and this CD is only their first album. But I take my hat off to them, these guys put everything that they had into this release and I felt that during listening. But, for now let`s focus on visual pleasure that is the cover art of this full length. I especially enjoy this piece, the artist has drawn an old plane from WW2 with a bit modern flair but I like it. It looks very handsome with the band logo. And if you open up the booklet, you will get a band poster, nice surprise isn't it? 

To be honest this debut album of Polish Sturmovik crashed around in my mind for a long time. I was quite surprised with it’s quality and material in general. All the songs remind me of the Swedish school of Crust, that was odd to me, but on the other hand it was a pleasure too. These brilliant musicians managed to create a really rock n roll album that could bite, haha! Everything is tied together song writing wise, and the album flows nicely. The music is heavy, well defined, with doses of melody that are simplistic yet catchy. Songs like “Matters Not”, “Bad Earth, Bad Sons”, and “Trial By Fire” feature plenty of catchy d-beat sections, fast punk riffs, and nice loud screaming vocals. In fact, “Matters Not” has quickly risen to be one of my favorite songs on this album. Very cool intro, swing and crashing rhythms, drop of melodies, awesome solos, caveman d-beats, screams and a ton of catchy moments. But after I put this CD in my player I discovered one frustrating thing… it`s sound. I got the feeling that I was listening “Destination Nowhere” on youtube and not from the CD itself. This spoiled the general impression of listening to this album.

Antigama - The Insolent (Selfmadegod)

Antigama is a band who certainly stands out in grind scene. Their focus are more on the technical side of things, and lesser on punk aspects. I believe thats why this group is not for everyone, and even less for everyday listening. Antigama really glorifies their home country of Poland. (how many other famous extreme bands can you name from PL who does that?), I don't have any idea, if Polish people really gives a fuck about that, haha!). The Insolent is Antigamas 7th album in their discography, and makes a nice impression. The whole design is a projection of Antigamas music. It's elegant, progressive, atmospheric and crazy.Even schizophrenic at times too! The cover is artistically well thought out also, using those pale colors, and really amazing desert photos, plus the idea with these eyes is also pretty catchy.

This is a huge album on so many levels. While taking root in chaotic grind and metal, it merges into a mad mix of technicality and ferocity. Not even once do they let up, and give you time to breathe, or think about the musical aspects, before the record is over, and youre looking at the CD player, wondering what the hell just happened here. This album is loaded with wonderful, and strange riffs, which pops up during the chaotic pace of the songs. I especially enjoy the tiny pieces of free jazz elements, that makes this sound even weirder. The Vocalist screams so hard and wild, while the drummer kicks fast and so powerful. Our guys here literally spills out all the negative energi and frustration they got...  

If you’re at all into technical music, buy this record. You might not listen to it that often, but you will certainly be blown away by what you hear, and anyone who is a fan of strange, progressive experimental grind, should definetely get their hands on this.
