Let's keep on digging into our collection from our Czech friends Dead Heroes Records. This time we will turn back the dial for a moment and make a review of the Lycanthrophy & Chiens split. I have no idea who Jubsss is but this guy definitely has a talent in drawing! Just look how interesting he represented different social diseases in just one picture. Here we've got the theme of rotten religion, worldwide conspiracy (I judge like this looking on the all-seeing eye), nazism and corruption.Very good work, at least the visual part of the release is worthy, hehe))
Czech guys Lycanthrophy surprised me a little bit (in a bad sense) that Zdíša (the most famous girl in the fastcore universe:)) ) didn't take part in recording this release. But as I know (this is not a fact) she was pregnant at the time and it isn't strange she is absent on the recording. But don't mind that. Even without Zdíša guys don't loose their force and their own style. Here we got the same insane Czech fastcore which blows the brain! As for me, the main Lycanthrophy feature, besides the female vocals, was the furious speed, and we have a lot of it there.
French Grindcore always was someway different from the others. Especially in the guitar riffs. So Chiens sound different too. I can't say I enjoyed their sound but the material is great. I have specifically memorized that sharp guitar sound and various screaming vocals. And yes, it's hard to refresh after that furious outcome. There's a feeling like you're being punched by a muai-tai fighter.

Sometimes I am surprised how such a small and short splits can contain so much anger... From one side we got a pretty famous American Antichrist Demon core and from other strong and craziest French guys Chiens, both bands will show to you different sides of extreme underground music. So let's start with 2 songs from California with pals that is called ACxDC. Their songs are short, aggressive and performed in a modern hardcore way (with the addition of some other ingredients). Here you will hear many of characteristic swinging rhythms which are so lovely to use in nowadays hardcore (but personally I not a fan of such things), but I must notice that here it skips short but fast (like a gunshot) lovely blasting moments. The sound is corresponding it and has not the pleasant dirt... it’s spiny and sharp, but I can not say that it’s disgusting for hearing.
The inhabitants of the Nancy town relished for my taste better. Their grind core/hardcore makes the blood boil and it is very cool. Speed, density, aggression of everything that is in its place and it's very good to listen. Yep, it’s not kind of grind core which is so loved by the old-school fans but it is worth your attention. The sound is not very clear, also here there is a perfect harmony between all musicians, one word beauty. Beauty... but alas, it is too short, only 1.5 minutes of sound ((
