BRUJERIA

"matando güeros"

Year:  1993

Country:  US

City:  Los Angeles
Label:  Warner
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  19
Time:  40 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Grindcore

Total grindcore classic album recorded in 1993 in nowhere... by anybody... in fact, the band never revealed its real name, nationality, etc. but people always said they were / are from Mexico City. This album entitled "Matando güeros" (in spanish = "killing yankees") was a total succes in the extreme musical scene from early 90s. This is BRUJERIA’s first, and to me, best sounding album. It is not over burdened by fancy guitar leads and tasteful drum work. Cro-Magnon riffs and skull smashing skin pounding. If this sounds unappealing to you, then stop reading now. If you're expecting the electronic tones of Fear Factory, this is not for you. It sounds like your basic murky, technical and "clean" grindcore, with an emphasis on thrash-metal influences. This sounds like it was recorded in a sewer. This album would be the sound a mutated betentacled sewer monster would make if it could talk. And that is where the appeal for this album lies with me. Best good thing about the album is that the songs are very short, direct, simple, thereby not causing boredom. The album clocks in at just over 30 minutes. The songs also follow a basic structure, but they still throw a few surprises here and there. I feel that the album is best when listened to from beginning to end, like a book. If you like basic grindcore, this is a good album. If you are stuck in melodic baroque metal limbo than it probably won’t appeal to you. About lyrics, they are apparently gore, but If you know well spanish language, you can to understand ceratin messages against social injustices, third world, poverty, etc. The CD I bought has this censored cover, but the original is totally gore.

"raza odiada"
Year:  1995
Label:  Warner
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  14
Time:  33 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Hardcore  Thrash

In this second album, Brujeria seems slower, with more elaborated songs and a comeback to the possible origins of grindcore: a mix of thrash and hardcore. Philosophically, grindcore developed as a backlash against the Conservatism,  often deals with criticisms of the Establishment and concern over the destruction of the environment, war, pauverty, etc. identically to hardcore punk lyrical themes.

"pocho aztlan"
Year:  2016
Label:  Nuclear Blast
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  12
Time:  35 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:         Grindcore

The initial impression about the album, ‘Pocho Aztlan’ is pure riff worship. Its a lengthy album containing thirteen songs of hard hitting metal having influences of death metal, grindcore and groove metal. Majority of vocals are Spanish, which made it difficult for me to understand it as far as lyrics are concerned. The album begins with a mysterious folk/tribal tone and all of a sudden you can hear police helicopters whirling down. ”Who wants celebration? Put your hands up.’’ The drums blast in with palm muted riffing. This is the title track to begin the album with. An extremely moshable song, with a very unorthodox vocal style which sounds raw and perfect being sung in Spanish. ‘Pocho Aztlan’ is a worship of guitar riffs, mind-numbing drumming and one of its kind chaotic vocals you would have heard. Roughly sixteen years is what it took the band to create this monster of an album. With the sole purpose of heaviness, Brujeria have achieved this album and will be absolutely proud of it. Be prepared for pure chaos when the band starts touring this fall. Lot of necks are about to get hurt (review written by Sanjit Lal ).

Political grindcore and Metal band from Baltimore, Maryland, USA started in 2002. Main founder members were Jason Netherton and Sparky Voyles, with the lineup rounded out to it's most stable with the additions of Adam Jarvis and Mark Kloeppel to the band. MISERY INDEX could easily be described as Metal / Grindcore band with political / social lyrics which remind musically to death and thrash metal famous bands (with a high quality technical level), and lyrically rather to bands such as: Napalm Death, Agathocles, Magrudergrind, Archagatus or Assück. Some albums sound more Metal and other ones more grindcore, but in general the band it seem to keep a balance between these two styles.

Tracks:  19

Lyrical themes:  social isssues , politics
Genre:  rock
Style:      Grindcore

Brazilian grindcore band from Rio de Janeiro, formed in mid 1997 with few official recordings but allof them here compiled. A total of nineteen tracks of rageous grindcore with few tooks of thrash metal and hardcore too. Very good sound quality, technical level and original lyrics far from topics too much repeated. Voice is not gutural like usual bands from this genre, but closer to thrash-core bands like Ratos De Porao, Bandanos, etc. I had listened to it never this band and frankly I have had a very good surprise with them. Recommened for those who love grindcore and extreme hardcore.

DYING FETUS

"war of attrition"
Year:  2007
Label:  Relapse
Format:  CD
Tracks:  8
Time:  42 min.
Lyrical themes:  politics , social issues
Genre:  rock
Style:        Death Metal

"On War of Attrition", hyper-technical-grindcore gurus Dying Fetus offer up more of the same, but the quality hasn't changed. The guys in Fetus still know how to make some fairly kick ass modern grindcore, despite what nay-sayers might say.   The riffs are pummeling as expected, super-fast grind riffs mixed in with chugga-chugga death metal riffing. They have a nice grit and rawness to them bringing an overall rich and deep sound to the table. The unfortunate thing is that most of the riffs aren't very memorable, which is something death metal in particular needs. It's not that they're clusterfucked and constantly changing like many contemporary death metal acts; it's that they just don't bring enough catchiness, groove, or shear technicality to be memorable. But they're not bad in the last bit, they just don't stick in the end, save for the track "Insidious Repression", which has some very nice, rather unforgettable riffs throughout. The bass guitar does a very nice job filling in the low end. It's fairly audible throughout and even pokes its ugly head out to take center-stage a few times, like in "Insidious Repression" and "Unadulterated Hatred". However, overall, it just fills in the sub-noise and really does nothing exceptional.   The drumming owns on this album. It's fast, fucking relentless, and fairly technical at times. Though the constant blast-beats can grow tiresome, the awesome fills and the overall pummeling driving force of them makes them probably the best part of the album.   And, notwithstanding, is the decent vocal performance, which mostly consists of septic gurgles usual for the genre, getting fairly boring after a while. However, the other, more high-pitched growls that are also used are much better, mainly because there's much more overall variety to them in that they change pitch and often carry some melody whereas the gurgles are fairly monotone, but they also add a small, but decent variety to the album. Having it littered with nothing but gurgles would undoubtably make it more of a boring listen.   So, all-in-all, a worthy release that goes by extremely underrated. Contrary to what the band's harshest critics might say, this is not Fetus selling out. This is Fetus continuing to kick ass with some top-notch thrash-metal, grindcore and Discharge "d-beat" spirit, despite its minor flaws (it lacks memorability in many areas and can get mildly boring at times).

MASTERPIECE was, is and probably it will be this third Suffocation album recorded in 1995. Brutal, progressive, complicated and elaborated long songs of extreme death metal.
