FUCK ON THE BEACH | TERLARANG Split

Pre-order 12inch vinyl & Digital
www.wooaaargh.com/fotb-terlarang-split-lp
www.wooaaargh.bandcamp.com/album/fuck-on-the-beach-terlarang-split



This split is relentless and will hurt your ears in a charming way, fun frantic ear-splitters from start to finish. 
 
Fuck On The Beach
If you don't know what to expect here I can't really help, this is brutal, lightspeed clattering blasts, razorwire treble drenched guitar and whirling layered screaming at it's finest. Plenty of ear splitting distortion, feedback, mics peaking and everything way too loud in the best way. This is fun loving fastcore powervioelce from Japan which I'm pretty sure even has a 'clap-track' on the self titled outro track. Fucking excelent. This side of the split is primarily hyper fast d-beats with the odd blast thrown in, so is sonically the inverse of the Terlarang side. For fants of Japanese style everything faster and louder style grindviolence.

 

Terlarang Lo-fi to the point of incomprehensibility this side of the split goes even further down the slopes of  treble-valley than Fuck On The Beach, sounding like the guitars are physically tearing the speaker cones from the amp and the rest of the band are trying frantically to hold them back in. Everything here is fast, no slow at all on this side. Maybe one or two slightly slower than lightspeed d-beat smashers floating about in there but this is really all about the pace. The fast as fuck and don't care nature is epitomised by the cats on the split cover and the last track basically sounding like black metal but being called 'Stop The Hate' in what seems to be a conscious rejection of the bullshit ideals of traditional NSBM. Nice.

 


BIND TORTURE KILL 'Viscères'

Pre-order LP & Digital
www.wooaaargh.com/btk-visceres-lp
www.wooaaargh.bandcamp.com/album/bind-torture-kill-visceres



Devastating French Post-Hardcore three piece BIND TORTURE KILL release their second high speed slab of chaotic blackened post hardcore on the album 'Viscères'. Following in the footsteps of giants like Trap Them and Converge but finding heavier emphasis in 'blackened' elements than either.

'Blackened' here referring to moments of echoing reverb, hanging on an abyssal chord for a few seconds, or giving in to brief exaggeratedly blasting trem-picked sections. However this tag should not detract from what is primarily a thorough study in chaotic post-hardcore.

Recorded at Warmaudio in their native Lyon BIND TORTURE KILL pluck at the essence of the classic 'Relapse Hardcore' sound; fast guitar runs interspersed with RIFFS pulled from the aether, instilling a contemporary twist on it with a clanging, raw production sound, atmospheric dynamic breaks and tight instrumental performances. The album pulses with swelling instrumental interludes providing parenthesis around solid chunks of blast-tinged, rolling chaotic hardcore. Vocally frontman Olivier delivers verse in native French, providing discourse in the manner of prose, dealing with the horror and darkness found for many in contemporary society, murder, drug abuse and the almost exclusively death metal territory of ghoul behaviour (grave robbing).
These themes are all symboloised in the artwork, providing stark monochrome imagery of a jackal and vultures fighting over a carcass.

BIND TORTURE KILL are really pushing the boundries of what can be acomplished by a single guitarist and drummer line up (albeit with three amps, ala Magrudergrind), using intelligent song structure and aplication of pedals the band really sounds like the "full" two guitars and bass more usually seen in the genre. Track times on this 34minute, 9 song release vary in length from under two minutes to over seven, this speaks to the band's ability to write diverse music while retaining their own sound and not straying from being very firmly grounded in the Post-Hardcore genre.

LAST CLIMB 'Leave It To Rot'

Pre-order 7" & Digital
www.wooaaargh.com/lastclimb-leave-it-to-rot-ep
www.wooaaargh.bandcamp.com/album/last-climb-leave-it-to-rot


 

LAST CLIMB present a debut of coruscating Swedish hardcore punk inthe finest tradition of Anti-Cimex, Disfear etc. The guitar/guitar/bass and drums line up find their own sound with a rawness of production and harshness of subject matter, pulling slighty away from some of the more "rock and roll" elements (cheesy solos and upbeat chorus sections) a lot of traditional d-beat bands follow while retaining elements like the occasional screaming lead and foot stomping, moshy riff sections.

Occasionally they sneak cross-genre into sludging slow motion riffing breakdowns, but never for longer than a few seconds before speeding back up to a respectable hardcore kilter. Tonaly the release is reminiscent of hard stuff like Bloody Phoenix with that kind of suffocating level of gain on the guitars, buzzsaw bass tone and maximised snare kicking the listener in the skull, tinted with harsh but not overpowering vocals.

Lyrically LAST CLIMB stick to the themes implied by the name, with a quintessentially Swedish focus on environment most of the 6 tracks deal in someway with depression in addition to the traditionally antifascist subject matter of d-beat hardcore.

All in LEAVE IT TO ROT is an extremely promising debut from a new band that really seem to know their stuff while innovating just enough to give a traditional formula an extra shine.

CLUNGE PLUNGER 'Shitcanned'

Pre-order 7" & Digital
www.wooaaargh.com/clungeplunger-shitcanned-ep
www.wooaaargh.bandcamp.com/album/clunge-plunger-shitcanned


 

London grinders CLUNGE PLUNGER return with another fat slab of catchy metallic sludgegrind on 'SHITCANNED'. This will be the bands first physical release (they have 2 digital releases preceeding this), but being that they formed in 2012 and having not been inactive in the London crust and grind scene means this is a consummate display of beer drenched blasting, vocals that range from sewer level gutterals to throat wrenching screams, clanking tank-tread bass and growling, gain drenched guitar.

The sludge influence makes itself felt in the slower, almost rock n' roll sections and somewhat in the recording, though this is a very crusty and raw listening experience there is no mismanaging of studio time, with a great level of clarity in the performances. Everything is audible and moves easily and naturally between Eyehategod style riffing, ENT d-beats and outright pulverising contemporary grind in the vein of Rotten Sound or Pig Destroyer.

A crusty, rocking partygrind release well worth it's 12minute runtime!
