 "Awareness is the term that describes the Assalti Frontali experience: being inside what you’re singing about."

Militant A delivers powerful lyrics rooted in personal and political experience. The album balances militant messages with musical innovation, showcasing the unique sound of Rome’s hip hop scene.

 "Just over half an hour of Apuan noise, and our guys make way for that war machine called Zu."

 "Seeing EVERYONE, while the musicians are giving it their all, standing still ... is truly sad."

The review covers a 2010 live performance by Zu and Repetita Luvant at La Skaletta in La Spezia. Both bands delivered intense, experimental, and improvisational sets, with Zu focusing on songs from their album Carboniferous. The venue’s punk rock vibe was contrasted by an unenthusiastic and mostly stationary audience, which was the main disappointment of the night. Despite this, the reviewer was impressed by the musicianship and sound quality. Discover the raw intensity of Zu and Repetita Luvant's live set—listen now and explore avant-garde jazzcore and noise rock!

 Technical proficiency above average and annihilating impact come together in a vortex mixing grind/death metal with fragmented solutions and rhythm changes.

 Songs like 'F-Unit' and 'The Great American Dream Machine' are perfect war machines combining HC spontaneity with 'mathematical' technicalities.

The album showcases enhanced musicianship, especially with David Witte's drumming and Mike Oleander's versatile vocals. While some tracks feel standard, the overall impact is powerful and original. The evocative cover and introspective lyrics add depth to this notable final release. Listen to Burnt By The Sun's Heart Of Darkness to experience a technical grindcore journey filled with fury and dark introspection.

 "In the first part of the album, the Kid focuses on a hard and abrasive sound with fractured rhythms..."

 "The final cover 'Olé', a John Coltrane track, matches the abrasive HC temperament with a wind section, bridging Slint and jazzcore."

Engine Kid's 1994 album 'Angel Wings' offers a complex mix of post-hardcore and jazzcore with notable influences from Seattle's early 90s scene and Greg Anderson's evolving style. The album's first half is energetic and abrasive while its latter part explores slower, more minimal tones. Highlights include the intense track 'Nailgun' and a 12-minute John Coltrane cover that marries hardcore spirit with jazz elements. This album appeals to fans of genre-blending experimental rock though it may challenge casual listeners. Explore Engine Kid's 'Angel Wings' to experience a unique blend of post-hardcore energy and jazzcore experimentation.

 The writer sinks into a spiral of increasingly extreme violence, amidst snuff movies, bondage, and parodies of spy stories.

 We are all within a sick tissue, we ourselves are sick, and the only possible action is to ignite the tissue itself and (self)destroy the existent.
