MAGRUDERGRIND – II

It has been a long time now since we have heard anything from the Magrudergrind camp, but they are still a band I listen to often when I am in need of a fix of some uncompromising grindcore – and that is exactly what they offer here – 15 short sharp shocks of stripped back violent hardcore influenced grind. No funny intros, no movie samples. This is a record with absolutely no flab in it at all. We have blasting sections, flat out breaks and then the obligatory slowed down section where the guitar powers along waiting for everything else to kick in.

Magrudergrind are in awesome form here, but having said that, II never really reaches the heights the band hit in their live sets. I think seeing them live is always going to be better, so you can fully take in the energy and power and so you can see the raw screaming rage of Avi and the jaw-dropping drumming work that goes into each song. Still, it is the most consistent and convincing record they have put out too, so a good place to meet the band and have your face smashed in…
