Blunt Magazine review of Code of Lies – The Age of Disgrace
It's fantastic to see Grindhead Records getting this kind of support in major metal publications. Here's the latest review of the Code of Lies MCD The Age of Disgrace from Australia's Blunt Magazine. You can still pick a copy up via our e-store or our MySpace for $8 AUD (within Australia) or $6 USD (worldwide) with FREE postage internationally.
Read das review:
"Sydney's Grindhead Records are one of the most trusted local labels for grind and death metal. You might not have heard of the band, you might no be able to read their logo, but as long as you see that Grindhead Records symbol on the back of the inlay you know you are going to get something extreme and extremely good.
Code Of Lies are bogan breed from the country town of Orange, NSW and this eight-song EP is one very impressive debut blast of stripped-back techy grind and melodic death. Drums and one single guitar throw forth a volley of noise as vocalist Attak growls, squeals and generally fucks his throat up in effort to sound as inhuman as a human can. 7/10"

Terrorizer review of Code of Lies – The Age of Disgrace
The Australian grind scene is getting a lot of love from Terrorizer Magazine lately, which is fantastic to see and very much appreciated.
Here is a brand spanking new review of Code of Lies' The Age of Disgrace MCD:
Spasticated grindcore pumping in the vein of Insect Warfare, Agoraphobic Nosebleed and early Pig Destroyer, Code Of Lies play a tormenting and deranged breed of music with some hella guttural vocals - they're an acid tinged traditionally composed and relentlessly blasty on the trademark poppy snare. 7/10
The Age of Disgrace is available now on Grindhead Records for $8 AUD within Australia or $6 USD Worlwide (including postage). Click here to download an MP3 of the track Swarm of Vultures.
