Brazilian grindcore, not too much fast or crazy, closer to hardcore and the old school sonorities, sometimes swampy, and with an horrific voice and atmospheres. Short album without pretentions, but very interesting anyway.

Fantastic! This is the perfect word to define this new album. Taking as reference some of the black metal patterns they totally redifine the style adding a bunch of prog-circus melodies, enriching the music until they create this wonder. An album that needs to be carefully listened to extract all of its essence. Don´t you miss the video either, simply astonishing!

Beastmilk - Use Your Deluge EP (2012)

1.- Void Mother

2.- Children Of The Atom Bomb

3.- Forever Animal

4.- Red Majesty

Wonderful EP of these finnish guys. Mat McNerney, the mind behind bands as Dodheimsgard, Code, Void or Hexvessel, offers to us a very remarcable EP of dark post-punk, highly influenced by bands as Misfits, Joy Division, Danzig or even Dead Kennedys. Unexpected surprise. Must listen it!

713avo Amor - A Veces El Dolor (1993)

1.- A veces el dolor
2.- (Te escribo desde esta) botellita de cielo
3.- Cielo bajo tierra
4.- Limosna para morir
5.- El mar es la manera más arrugada de todos los millones de maneras de corazones

8.- En medio de un mar de penas
9.- Las lágrimas
10.- Lago de ceniceros
11.- Princesa de manos azules
12.- Sombreros llenos de sangre
13.- La chófer del diablo

This is one of those bands that never achieved the success that they deserve. They were in the underground, and they still there. Because they are far from mainstream and far from the sweet melodies of the comercial music. This band probably has the most acid, bitterest and surrealistic lyrics that I´ve ever heard.  Add to this a crazy noise rock and post punk that could remember bands like Fugazi or Slint and you´ll have "713th Love". Sometimes the pain...

Muknal - Muknal (2012) EP

1.- Cruciation 6:28

2.- Rotten Genesis 6:10

3.- Eidolon 4:41

Outstanding and very short EP from these extrem guys. It sounds old school, chaotic, dark, lysergic and dirty. Muknal drinks directly from the sound of Incantation, Teitanblood, and that kind of rotten stuff. If you like this kind of bands you will enjoy this album as a possessed. Highly recommended!
