Grind Over Kyiv!

Zombies Eat My Neighbours - S/T (Surrogate rec)

This band has already existed more than 10 years… But unfortunately they've remained almost unknown outside of Ukraine. For these years this band has suffered a lot, like any other band they've had a lot of line-up changes and trouble with labels. But finally, this year small diy label Surrogate Recordsmreleased both of their albums on one tape. This tape looks very simple, as I know these guys tried to make it look like a pirate tape (bootleg cassette), well they managed to do that (i`m pretty sure that cover art is stolen from the internet, hahaha. So, boys and girls, let's take a closer look at the result of 4 years of work…

First is the “Nameless” album. We are expecting 11 songs and about 20 minutes of interesting experimental stuff. The main feature of “ZEMN” is that fact that these guys don’t stop on any genre. These boys are mixing everything with everything. First of all I must admit good quality sound (okay it`s not a grind sound but it sounds good). This album is full of catchy rhythms, dense guitar sound with pretty metal taste, but sounds heavy (sometimes it reminds me of the sound of different Polish grind/death metal bands). The lyrics side is full of social themes…dirty society, money, lost generation, shitty system,etc. But the weakest is the drum parts. Cut and paste style noticeably spoils the impression. Also there is a number of unnecessary samples, vocal effects and backing vocals. I can’t say that this album has grind base, rather it`s some hardcore+thrash with little grind. But anyway this album has some interesting songs, so it is worth listening to at least once.

Okay, now is the last album (for the moment of course) – “Alive”. Everything starts with a “Doom” song. I guess, with this song, guys tried to create a dark atmosphere in the beginning of the album, but this venture has failed. The guitar sound ruined it with its midi tone (and that is fucking sad). But, the next few songs show to us that not everything is lost. Dirty and raw sound masked guitar and everything starts to sound pretty good. One more thing this album is the most Grind stuff these boys have recorded. There are a good number of blast beats, heavy bass shots and crazy screaming. I can say with confidence that this material is much better (with material but not with sound) than their previous stuff.
Rating: 7/10 Zombies Eat My Neighbours bc

Self-titled tape by "Zombies Eat My Neighbours" coming soon on Surrogate Rec!

GRIND За**ісь PARTY # 6

В суботу 22 квітня пройшов 6-й концертний грайнд вогник під вивіскою "GRIND За**ісь PARTY". Почалося все з невеличкої затримки, яка дала змогу "заправитися" фанатам на вулиці та досхочу поспілкуватися між собою. Приємно було бачити стільки знайомих облич, та гуртів під одним дахом. 
Почувши скрипучі звуки саундчеку, я зайшов в середину. Відповідальна місія відкривати цей концерт випала запорізьким хлопцям Hinnom Vultures. Налаштувавшись, хлопці вдарили першими звуками по вухам небагаточисленної публіки. Чув цей гурт вперше, нічого не очікував, але чесно-кажучи лишилися позитивні враження. Хлопці видали хорошу суміш хардкор красту, приправлену ледь помітною мелодичністю. 
Публіка була вже достатньо розігріта і наступними на сцену вийшли місцеві панки Diversion. Сирувато, але дуже агресивно... Сиро, брудно та агресивно, так можна описати те що лилося з колонок. Панк братство відривалося щодуху... Приємно було бачити народ з ірокезами серед натовпу фанатів, які прийшли підтримати цей гурт. На мою думку це додало різноманіття в суворий грайнд гіг.

New album from Zombies Eat My Neighbours!

Pretty strange and experimental band Z.E.M.N. (Ukraine) finally recorded their new album! You can check their noise HERE. Also boys need a help with releasing it. So if you have interest just contact with them!

ZOMBIES EAT MY NEIGHBOURS!

Ukrainian experimental Thrash/grind/hardcore band. Was founded in 2006 in Borodyanka (the town in Kiev region).

After the successful debut in “Bingo” club in spring 2008 and about a dozen of gigs, the band had fallen into anabiosis and started hunting the experienced soldiers for the zombie division… Despite of the fact of frequent changes in rhythm-section, the band recorded demo, 2 EPs and debut album… Now guys are based in Kiev, fell to more extreme sound and are preparing new material.

Zombies Eat My Neighbours (13.06.14)

Seat comfortable, be my guest and treat yourself to corrupted politician`s fresh brain. How you doing? What kind of evil do you hide behind the Z.E.M.N.?

Hi! We`re just fine, especially after having fresh brains for breakfast))) `Cause evil is hidden within all of us…
“Zombies” – it`s the experimental cocktail, in which thrash, punk, grindcore are wellshaken and spiced with social oriented lyrics by barman…

What`s new about the recording? All are talking about you having started the recording process!

The recording process was going rather smoothly, but the mixing was difficult!
I`m not quite sure if it could be called album – 9 tracks, a bit more than 20 minutes duration, but you`ll be able to judge our material soon on our Bandcamp
