REVIEW: The Arson Project – Blood and Locusts
Sweden's The Arson Project have long been on my list to keep an eye out for since the band sent me a copy of their impressive demo 'Good Morning Vietnam' back in 2005. Their demo debuted a fast paced, frenetic grinding style that was topped off with scorching vocals that made me envisage scenes of mass-destruction brought about by widespread napalm bombing in Vietnam. Their name fit the aural intensity perfectly which is a rare thing is seems these days.
'Blood and Locusts' offered a similarly caustic experience; while the music is definitely more mature and developed, I was again met with an absolutely crushing wall of powerful blast beats from the second I pressed play, backed by those familiar raspy, scorching mid-range vocals and devastating guitars underscored by an appropriately thick distorted bass.
The Arson Project clearly owe a lot to the Nasum school of grindcore. I'm sure the band have a hard time avoiding such a comparison to their iconic countrymen. The main difference between Nasum and The Arson Project though are the song structures; The Arson Project are not content to let grooves settle, refusing to let listeners gain a sense of comfort. Their jagged song structures are aimed wholly at creating a volatile atmosphere of chaos and unpredictability. Listening to these short and potent grind tracks played at breakneck speeds with multiple tempo changes throughout is a thoroughly disorientating experience.
This is the style of modern grindcore I really enjoy; while the songs are short (I'd say the average clocks in at around 1:20) they don't fall victim to lazy songwriting. Each song is structured in isolation without reverting to irritating and predictable punk beat-blastbeat verse-choruses - and each song borrows from a wide range of extreme genres from grind, various schools of death metal (old school, melodic, progressive), hardcore punk, and crust. The track 'Mentalt Avrättad' even has a slight doom and melodic post-metal meditation as both Nasum and Rotten Sound have had a tendancies to do.
While this MCD is sure to have old school grind fans in a huff (and seriously who gives a fuck about them anyway? Boo hoo it doesn't perfectly rehash your favourite sloppy, poorly recorded nostalgic grind release - what a travesty) fans of modern grindcore should waste no time in getting. If you're into Afgrund, Rotten Sound, Sayyadina or Gadget then grab this album as soon as possible, because I believe it just might top any of the past offerings from either band.
This is crushing, violent, high-intensity grindcore done right. The songs are poweful and potent; crafted for maximum impact. Congratulations guys. This is definitely going to be one of my premier grind releases for 2009.
Live clips from Maryland Death Fest 2008 (MDF VI)
This years Maryland Death Fest saw some of Australias best - Fuck I'm Dead, The Day Everything Became Nothing and Blood Duster - take on some of the biggest names in the international extreme music community - grounds like Anaal Nathrakh, Grave, Disfear, Impaled, Macabre, Dying Fetus and Circle of Dead Children to name but a few.
I thought it would therefore be fitting to do a post of some of the I've rounded up in ten minutes before this post goes live - because realistically I have nothing else to write about today and I feel like shit. I hate mondays. Good to see Jay doing us proud with Aussie Aussie Aussie chants. Classic.
Fuck I'm Dead - Gore Grind Thrash Attack
Fuck I'm Dead - Waft of Stench
Blood Duster - Umm... I'm not sure but Tony humps some dude in the face...
Macabre - You're Dying To Be With Me
Circle of Dead Children - ?
Anaal Nathrakh - Submission Is For The Weak
Ghoul - Gutbucket Blues
Afgrund - Most of their set
Relapse to reissue first four Blood Duster albums
Well here's some cool news; Relapse Records has decided to release the first four Blood Duster albums: Fisting the Dead, Yeest, Str8outtanorthcote (my favourite) and Cunt.
It looks as though Fisting The Dead and Yeest will be re-released in one package. All three reissues have been totally remastered and feature new artwork and bonus material. The release date for the reissues is May 5 internationally (or April 29 in the U.S.).
These reissues come just before Blood Duster are set to desecrate the U.S. for the first time ever (with Dave Hayley of Psycroptic on drums mind you); playing this years Maryland Deathfest alongside fellow Aussie's The Day Everything Became Nothing and Fuck... I'm Dead. Just the thought of those three bands absolutely fucking flattening the U.S. makes me smile - can you imagine the poor bastards who might have heard Fuck I'm Dead's split with Engorged just explode when they hear them as a 5 piece?!
The line up of this years Maryland Deathfest includes the likes of Repulsion, Nuclear Assault, Grave, Dying Fetus, Disfear, Ghoul, Coffins, Impaled, Gruesome Stuff Relish (who have a new album coming up on Grindhead Records!), Engorged, Anaal Nathrakh, Macabre, Dead, Phobia, Gadget, Flesh Parade, Afgrund, Behold the Arctopus, Circle of Dead Children, Keitzer and loads more. I'd go on, but to be honest I'm so insanely jealous I'd rather just put it from my mind.
I'll do the predictable thing and put up a track of Drink, Fight, Fuck even though it's one of my least favourite Duster songs:

Fuck I’m Dead News
Fuck I'm Dead are currently working on brand new material with their new and improved line up. The plan is to start recording a new album during Janurary 2008 and release it soon after. In recent times the group have gone from a drum machine driven three piece to a full fledged five piece - picking up a drummer and a second guitarist in the process. The result should be fucking massive - so keep an eye out for the new and improved gore grind thrash attack from FUCK... I'M DEAD!
And incase anyone missed it - Fuck I'm Dead, The Day Everything Became Nothing and Blood Duster have both been confirmed for Maryland Deathfest 2008! These three giants of Aussie grindcore will head over the burst the eardrums of unworthy Seppos alongside unbelivable groups such as Grave, Anaal Nathrakh, Repulsion, Macare, Deranged, Impaled, Phobia, Disfear, Flesh Parade, Gadget, Ghoul, Coffins, Gruesome Stuff Relish, Engorged, The Arson Project, Behold The Acrtopus, Afgrund, Keitzer and many more!
