M:40 - Tomma ord �r inte v�rda ett skit CD
Genre: Crustcore
Origin: Sweden
Released: 2005
Website: M:40
Label: Hobo Records
Uploaded: 19.08.05

Damn... This record saw the daylight quite quickly. It wasn't too long ago since Daniel of M:40 told me they might be doing a CD on Hobo Rec. And all of a sudden here it is. You get 13 songs of ferocious crust with a hardcore touch. It has a really great feeling to it, and you can sometimes actually feel the hate. Like in Hatets Parad (dealing with fascism/racism) you first get a sample, and then a short just mangling, punishing riffing part - really whipping up a whirlwind of anger. But besides the pissed off political crustcore, M:40 shows us their ability to perform beautiful, melancholic instrumental tunes (720130), building up an atmosphere of sorrow and frustration. But also slow, haunting hccrust - Humanit�r Katastrof has such a fucking amazing riffing...
Anyway. Most of the tunes are more to the older school of Scandinavian crust, with a touch of the new. The vocals seem the have one foot standing in the Finnish scene too... Not just your ordinary crust screaming. Simply put: A great showcase of talented young musicians.
