22 songs in 24 minutes. Do I even need to tell you what genre M�rser fits in to? Well, you�ve probably heard about these guys anyway, so I guess not. But if you haven�t guessed it already, this is grindcore. Not just basic grind, there�s also a lot of metal influences thrown in here, death metal. One thing that�s unique about this band is the line up. One drummer (basic), one guitarist (quite basic), two bass players (not so basic), and then there are four vocalists (quite unusual). It�s not noticeable that there are so many vocalists, but apparently it�s so. Probably a very cool line up to see live. The artwork�s cool as hell. Graveyard picture, beautiful! Lyrics are also included, but all in German so I don�t bother reading them, hehe� Well anyway, back to the actual music. It�s quite heavy with a lot of death metal, as said before. Slower heavier parts with deep growls and screams breaks out into outbursts of relentless grind, without loosing the heaviness. The vocals are mixed quite low, so the instruments get to be the main-part of the experience. The vocals are very good and brutal as hell, but mostly a thundercloud in the background of the grind parts. Don�t know what else to say. It�s damn good, but I wish that the vocals got a more distinct place.
