Description

A split EP between a Swedish d-beat crust and a Swedish grindcore act with hardcore influences that wants to diabolically corrupt your eardrums and possibly inflict tinnitus. Raw Hate begins with a flurry of cymbals and a simple punk riff that repeats over a mid-paced alternating drum beat. The vocals are hoarse yells that really add to the raw punk feel that Sweden is well known for and suit the music really well. The guitar work is a bit repetitive, as is most Hardcore Punk but this seems a bit below average, apart from the occasional random solo. The band provides three tracks that seem to sound quite the same and there is no distinct difference between each. This is normally not an issue for me, but I got bored after a little under the two minute mark. The band overall does an okay job, but its definitely nothing that stands out or that will be remembered. My advice to Raw Hate would be to make it noisier, and a bit more RAW. They seem to have the right idea but need to mix things up a little bit, maybe add in another vocalist. Anyways, that’s my take on these guys, moving on to the next.

Livet Som Insats start with a brief drum-thumping intro that quickly turns into a belligerent frenzy of pummelling chaos. The vocals switch constantly from a hardcore yell to an agonizing shriek that is definitely my favourite and used quite frequently. This has a very old school vibe to it with a new school style etched in. The tempo changes quite often, so there is always a shift of the pace of a track, but these guys never lose composure. Never. From the fast, punishing tracks like Overvakad to tracks with a slower, sludgy intro like I’m Thru, everything is perfect. This band has it all. Sludgy, filth-ridden grindviolence. This is some of the most pulverizing, insanely good grind I’ve heard from a newer band. Well, they may not be newer, but their new to me. I will be grinding out to this band all day! This split is definitely worth checking out and will make an awesome collector’s item when this band gets big in the Grind scene. They definitely have a good mix in their music and keep things interesting. Go get this immediately on Grindcore Karaoke. Do it, grinders!
