CORRUPT HUMANITY/SHANGKUAN LINGFENG-split tape



Another cracking tape release arrived recently into my mitts, this one from U.S.A. label DIY Noise. Not a label I have come across before but and I am mighty glad I know them now, loads of good stuff been done on this label, I really must check more of his stuff out. Anyway what I got here was a fluorescent pink tape that really stands out and also two band ripping the fuck up!
First band is one man grind band from Scotland Corrupt Humanity, eight tracks of raw grindcore with some really shit hot guitar work on it. Songs are on the short, fast furious side and are all very decent indeed. The playing is mighty fine and really rattle along, I love one man bands whether they be grind or death metal, there is just something about the one man band scene that just connects with me. Anyway eight cracking tracks with my faves being  "Force Fed Lies" and "Blind Faith" but all good stuff,not a disappointment among them!
Shangkuan Lingfeng are four grind bastardos from Indonesia and are as raw as fuck, with a real punky feel to them, their side rattles along in no time at all and is a goodie too, no baddies on here either all class grindcore, my faves being "Filth" and "R.O.A.D" but again no baddie here all good stuff.
Well this was a well decent purchase two good grind bands that are both worth checking out and I hope to hear more material from both band really soon. If you are a grindcore band get this tape!!
8/10

CRYPT OF THE ZOMBILORD-Demo



This is the second release from Sacrificial Tapes and another cracking tape it is too! This one is an eight track demo tape from Swedish band Crypt of the Zombilord, a D-beat,grindcore, crust punk sort of band! Eight tracks of pure heavy as fuck punk/grind that leave you wanting more. A set up of guitar, bass and drums with a dual vocal assault, one screaming the other pure growls from the pits of hell!! Right from the opening track "Okazaki Fragments" it's an all out aural assault. The music is heavy, fast and the songs are short and to the point. My personal faves are "Government Shit" sums it up nicely and "Into the Crypt" but all eight tracks are top notch. The band are one to look out for and I will definately be checking them out again.
Another great release from Sacrificial Tapes, a label that is beginning to build up a great roster of bands and releases, more please!!!
