Released through Blastasfuk Grindcore
The thing about grind bands is that they don't always have "hooks". Some are content to just pummel you with 30 second songs of absolute destruction, and some want to give you something to remember, albeit a small memory. These Australia grinders The Kill fall into the second category, but that doesn't impede the violence one bit.
Composed of members from Fuck...I'm Dead, Open Wound, Holy Boner and Shallow Grave, these guys are no rookies. And it shows. While the entire album is full of 90-second-or-less songs, there are plenty of guitar riffs and drum beats that you'll be humming for weeks on end. This writer's favorites 'Mowed' and 'Second To None' have been stuck in my head all week.
They almost give you a sign of slowing up on the beginning 30 seconds of 'Blastasfuk'. Alas, they're only playing with you, chaos ensues. And have you ever wondered what Slayer's 'Necrophobic' would sound like if it was done with even more violence? Me either, but that shit is awesome.
There will be some gripes that this album sounds too much like Nasum or Rotten Sound or whatever other grind band you want to spout off. But the last time I checked, those two bands are good company to be aligned with. GRIND.
