Three tracks of weirdo hardcore. I'm not really sure how to label this, but it's some form of HC. I basically know nothing about this band, all it says on the sleeve is that the demos was recorded at Hoborec studios in September �05. And the accompanying piece of paper just said "we'd love it if you'd review our demo"... If it wasn't for the fact that the paper was written in Swedish, I wouldn't even know what country they're from.
Quite melodic, spaztic hardcore, more to the American agenda I think, and a bit of the older school. As I've stated numerous times before I'm not the most skilled fellow to judge hardcore, so I'm not sure I'm able to give it a decent enough review. Two screaming vocalists, both of the brighter kind. He, that's pretty much all I can say. The song titles doesn't really give me an idea on what their lyrics are about, just see for yourself and you'll know what I mean. It's decent enough, I suppose. But not really my cup of tea. I want my hardcore much faster, and more stabile. Sure, they grind sometimes, but they also mix in some weirder breakdowns and such, which doesn't suite me. The sound could be much better, it's quite minimalistic at the moment. I don't know. That's all I have to say. People really into this type of music might like this alot, but for me it's not the quality I'm looking for to really get into it. Though the third tracks intro kicks arse!

Tracklist:
01. The complex problem with the meatmountain
02. Visiting church on x-mas eve with nowhere to sit
03. Loosing my mind at the butchers house
