Skruta​\​Internal Damage (Trismus Records)

For this split, guys from Skruta provided 4 raw songs. If you are a big fan of Nasum or Gadget, then it is unlikely that you would like this sound. But for me, it sounds pretty good. The only thing I do not like here is a guitar sound (It lacks meatiness and volume). All songs are cheerful with a good serve and enjoyable blast beat. Hmm... I guess, from all this material, the song “Three fingers up your ass” is amongst the best, it's kind of protest against the activities of the local national party / organization. 

So, hello to St. Petersburg! Wow, there might be only 3 songs there but it`s one of the greatest works of Internal Damage that I have heard from them. Guys recorded very strong and high quality old school deathgrind... as expected, it sounds monolithical with a metal sharpness. The guitar buzzing is very dense, but powerful vocals easily interrupt it (this guy manner of singing reminded me of the screams of the famous Barney Greenway). And since these guys rarely record something, it`s like a big present for their fans!

Skruta: 7.5    Internal Damage: 8/10

Coffin Birth / Total Fucking Destruction / Insomnia Isterica / Skruta (4-way split)

This intercontinental split has experienced many delays and other difficulties. But nevertheless with joint efforts of bunch of labels this finally happened and split was released. Badass white vinyl with weird art from Jon (fantastic artist from Russia) is great and beautiful (of course only if you're a fan of vomiting monsters with three heads:)) present for all grindcore fans.
Coffin Birth opens this split. This material is not new (these 3 songs were taken from Cult of the Technocrat tape) but it`s still very cool. I always liked their straight and honest grindcore. Of course in their music there is some side taste of death metal, but this just adds some sharpness in their sound. Assertive & hard, thier sound I can associate with old big dirty truck which runs on maximum speed. Second one, is to some extent legendary band. Total Fucking Destruction has a lot of years behind and they have many fans all over the Earth. As for me they have the lightest sound on this split (personally I was relaxed by their songs:)) even though there is some madness in 2nd song. And the first track reminds, with guitar solos and melodics, old good heavy metal, hehe) My good friends from Insomnia Isterica open side B. In their songs you can perfectly feel a school of good old punk. Their record is short but it keeps your spirit up. The sound is not buldozering and super heavy, but in its own way interesting & cool. Fast-and-dont-give-a-fuck thats how can I briefly describe it in few words) My countrymen Skruta close this split. Those guys have a great potential. Their material is diverse & curious. But the sound is slightly disappointing, that guitar sound is too dry sometimes... But guys are trying to compensate it with strong punch and they make it very good!

Human Error & Psykoanalyysi split CD!

While I was raking musical debris, I found a great split of Hungarian band Human Error and Finnish band Psykoanalyysi. This release was waiting for a long time to finally come out, and at last, Trismus Rec. released it. This CD is made in stylish digipack, 3 segments, classic crust-design, all black'n'white. It is really a job well done, and this CD will definitely take place in my collection. I remember Human Error gig in my town, that was considerably powerful crust-grind tornado... But this CD is completely another story. There is a cool D-BEAT from Human Error! 12 energetic tracks that I enjoyed so much! I recommend to listen to it in the morning, to cheer up! There are also 11 tracks from Finns (cover on Human Error included) that surely keep up the pace with their Hungarian colleagues! This material sounds more punk and all, and that's pretty cool too. I enjoyed hysterical vocals on there... I think fans of this style of music would like this CD. So don't waste any precious time, take your wallets and go for it!

Diskobra/Displease split CD/tape!

Diskobra/Displease split was released by Trismus Records from Uzhgorod on DIY tape and Pro-CD. I am a really big fan of DIY (you could call it some kind of lifestyle), but I don’t like when you do it carelessly, 'cause you need to put the part of your soul in it. And when I keep this CD in my hands, I feel that they tried real hard on this release, so I should give them a credit for that. Pasteboard case, CD-R and booklet printed on generic printer, looking really good. But enough about appearance. First on this split goes Hungarian band Diskobra, 4 tracks on Hungarian language (and that adds some zest in it), great solid guitar sound, very chipper d-beat. This band is a pleasant finding for me. And then comes Ukrainian d-beat crusties Displease, 3 tracks and cover on legendary At The Gates! I am really fond of this style of vocals, very pushy, a bit of local accent (but nevertheless, sound cool). All tracks are in their style, you can feel burst of energy literally from first sound you hear from them. I should mention track “Нi!” (No!), which speaks of deceit of religion. That’s about it, don’t ignore this release, buy a copy, you’ll definitely won’t regret this!
