Well this is just straight up grindcore; no frills, no thrills. But unfortunately not all that interesting either.
There�s a lot of tempo variations going on, and the riffing can go from hardcore to death metal to thrash metal, and maybe even a little punk thrown into the mix (and for The grind�n�roll carbonara groove there�s a whole lotta 50ies rock). And with skilled musicians they present their blasting in a tight and slick format. The promo sheet blames Napalm Death, Brutal Truth and S.O.D for inspiring these Italian lads, and I guess it�s safe to say I can hear all three bands present. And what it ends up like is a lot like Retaliation, but a weaker Retaliation. Sure, I guess there are some hooks and twists, but the lame-ass production destroys any and all potential to make an impact. The string section sounds extremely thin, like it hasn�t been mastered yet. And the vocals seem hidden in the background, instead of letting its full ferocity lose.
But I suppose that if you�re looking for a goofier Retaliation this is right up your alley.
