Napalm Death
Oh So Pseudo

THE REVIEW

A A A A A A R R R R R R G G G G G G H H H H H H !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the personal battle cry I erupted with this afternoon upon listening to the new single from Napalm Death.

Although, in reality, "Oh So Pseudo" is a track recorded during the sessions of the album Apex Predator - Easy Meat from 2015; and it was included as a bonus track in the Japanese edition (what the hell kind of luck the Japanese have).

Two minutes and thirty-seven seconds of Grindcore-Crust-Hardcore played at the usual speed of light. A dark, devastating, damned light.

A sound that is fucking and deliberately violent.

Mark, Mitch, and Danny are approaching fifty years of age; bassist Shane has already reached them. But they don't back down even a millimeter, they don't retreat, they move forward and, as always, they "bring down the windows, walls, entire buildings." They growl, drool, hit with cynical and ruthless cruelty.

A filthy preview of the double collection of unreleased tracks, rarities, and covers that will be released at the end of March.

Mark's growl is a chilling scream from hell's pit; Mitch's guitar is always on the edge of paroxysmal noise, almost inaudible, overwhelming and annoying. Shane sodomizes his instrument, destroying the bass strings; Danny's drumming rises imperiously, punctually dictating crazy rhythms so speeded up.

From a headache, but what a pleasure.

The fathers of Grindcore are back; once again to confirm their absolute dominance... Coded Smears and More Uncommon Slurs...

Ad Maiora.
