Yes! Finally! A band takes the potential of Grindcore and uses it right!
Brutal Truth’s debut is full of extreme high-energy tracks stock full of insane riffage! There is a huge Death/Thrash influence to this thing, and the riffs are super evil sounding despite the wholly political nature of the album. And thank goodness, for once a Grindcore vocalist enunciates, those politically charged lyrics are easy to follow. The vocals aren’t really special in themselves but they get credit for doing what 95% of Grindcore can’t by being god damn intelligible.
The real sauce here is the musicianship, and holy hell these guys can play. I mentioned the riffage earlier, and it is air-tight. Guitar and bass shred along at insane speeds, ripping off the best riffs I’ve heard in the genre yet. The drumming is inhuman, the blast-beats are probably the fastest I’ve heard yet, and actually manage to be on-time (if not incredibly precise). However, the drums are usually not so much sonic aggression as to drown out the tasty riffs, and the guy knows when to play extreme and when to serve the music. Huge plus!
Incredibly awesome Deathgrind and my personal favorite Grindcore album as of its release.

라이센스되어 너무 기뻤던 1집과는 많이 다른 스타일의 앨범. 1집 드러머가 KKK단이었다나 여튼 인종차별주의자라서 해고되서 들어온 Rich Hoak는 너무 다른 스타일의 드러머다(개인적으로 투베이스 드럼 세팅에 전형적인 1집 드러머 스타일을 더 좋아함) 여튼 1집의 DEATH/GRIND CORE 스타일에서 ... Read More
