Backstabbers Inc. - Bare As Bones (Blackmarket) This is some pretty pissed off mix of grind, ultra-fast hardcore, power-violence & a little bit of metal. When they do metal-core sounding stuff they leave out most of the shitty parts that too many other bands waste their time with. For this one think: Benümb, Deadboidieseverywhere, Wolfbrigade, Skitsystem, Left For Dead, Converge (sans their silly Slayer fixation) and a serious love of crazy song titles. There’s so much whacked out energy on this it they are on the verge of losing their breath by the 15th song. (((1))) A total whirlwind of grind meets ultra-hardcore ((((2))))) Super-PISSED off fully charging. (FCCs “Fucking” 3-4 times) (((3))) More metal-core sounding but still pretty solid (((4))) Big ‘ol riff into immediately charging & paniced sounding metal-core. ((((5)))) A total Wolfbridage/From Ashes Rise like straight-ahead bruiser. FCCs: “fucking” 5 times (((6))) Spiraling then full on brutal metal attack sort of like say, a Misery Index tune cut down to 1/8 the length. ((((7)))) Really FAST & really RIPPIN’ hardcore/ultra-core. Somewhere around Strong Inentition crossed with early Sick Of It All? (((8))) Benümb like grind attack then more of a East Coast heavy hardcore/grind fusion. ((((9)))) Power-violence styled with some East Coast metal-core breakdowns. ((((10)))) Strangely enough sounds like a serious Agents of Satan mixed with Left For Dead and Benümb. Killer bass playing, too. (((11)))) A whole lotta wallop in a short span (0:35) (((12))) 0:12 of death/grind! (((((13)))))) Super-angry & arrrgggggh! Awesome title, to boot. Poison Idea, Repulsion and Left For Dead fighting it out in a barbed-wire wrapped steel cage. (((14))) This ain’t really crust or totally grind but it IS really fucking intense hardcore that is louder & a tad more metal-ish sounding than most. ((((15)))) Youth Of Today cover played at 10x the speed and with a vocalist who sounds like the unholy trio of Hank Rollins/Pete Benümb and John Brannon (Negative Approach). I don’t really know the original but I do wonder what Ray of Today thinks. (FCC: “fucking” 0:47 & 1:24) ((16)) Just kind of “eh” sounding slow metallish stuff. (((17))) Grind mixed with sludge all of which pretty damn killer & raw. Relentless & insane! Benümb/Solient Green and Grief mixed togehter & playing a basement. A few points off for running too long, though. (((18))) More of the same, This is actually listed as #19 but SHOULD be #18. ((((19)))) Traditional h.c. riffing/vibe then into noisy & HEAVYsounds. Killer all-vocals breakdown (0:53-1:05) (((20))) Raw as hell Token Entry cover. Sounds pretty rad but not quite like a “standard” cover especially with that oddball early Slayer like-soloing creeping in . (Listed as #20) ((((21)))) Ultra-brutal grinding h.c. ((((22)))) Demo version of #6 but this one sounds much more like raw, pissed off h.c. with not so much of the metal element. ((23)) Raw version of #9 of Feedback then kind of so-so death-grind attack with Hellhammer-like guitars. (((24))) Demo of #16. I like these raw versions better, just sounds like there’s more heart in some of the weaker tunes like this. NOTE: There is no track #25. --- Ragnar of Ravensfjord | ||
