Cripple Bastards
Misantropo A Senso Unico

THE REVIEW

Extreme!
This is the concept of "Misantropo A Senso Unico" by Cripple Bastards. It is labeled as cynical, and yes, it is a bit cynical, but in my opinion, it remains concrete and, to say the least, staggering. Without any doubt, it remains one of the most aggressive platters in the world.

The best song of the entire album is "Il Tuo Amico Morto", and even at the narrative level, it is undoubtedly the best. The lyrics fully describe the feeling of a murder committed by a young man who, using his nice kitchen knife, slaughters a guy who perhaps got on his nerves, and this song is somewhat of a dialogue between the killer and the victim's friend.

Giulio The Bastard has the most aggressive voice on the face of the earth, and only he could have come up with this album. The artwork alone should make us think about the theme of the album: stones thrown from an overpass, cars with broken windows, and a booklet that is nothing short of nauseating. Obviously, there are titles that are very sincere (which seem cynical to us because since we are used to lying, the truth hits us too hard, and we are left shocked) such as: "Dio E' Solo Merda". This title is unfortunately misunderstood as violent. But if you dig deeper, Giulio De-Bastard (cool, huh XD) is targeting preaching, not the faith one has in a dogma.

It is a magnificent album that I recommend to all fans of grind (and punk).

PS: I chose the artwork with the purple background because it was the most dramatic and decadent…
