Side A
Starts with 3 tracks from Pain Nail, Loan Sakeet begins with echoed vocal samples and a background of pounding war drum and cymbals. The spoken word is in the Finnish language and I don’t understand what is being said but I can however say it works well together. The 2nd of the 3 tracks from Pain Nail starts pounding percussion and rhythmic screeches with the same vox of spoken word behind it. I can’t really decipher when the 3rd track starts and ends but track 2 from Above Suspicion is structured more with just noise frequency and processed vocals with metal trash clanging in back drop. This is fierce, a perfect mid range and low end here. Track 3 Delores Read from Sick Seed is my favorite tracks on side A because of the powerful vocals sprayed across the landscape. Sick Seed takes the European approach with a speech of some sort at the first of their track with a sample and begins the strength of the track, hissing tape frequencies, throbbing bass and shrieks of feedback feel the air. Pekka PT ‘s voice sounds fucking evil! Unaction takes track 4 with “within human touch”, this project is new to me but I feel this project could be as strong as the rest of the Finnish crowd here. Manic screaming vocals, pounding percussion and feedback are the key ingredients to this mixture. This is a strong track, forceful and filthy. Another project I am not familiar with is sKKK, their track Tahtojen Taistelu is different from the rest of the tracks on side A because the main focus here is just a soundscape with no vocals. This unit uses what sounds like a synth and many effects and minimal percussive instruments to fill their time slot. I’m not saying this track is bad but sounds just filler to the other notable tracks on this side of the cassette. The last track on this side of the tape is Funeral Mongoloids with Vittu Soittakaa Nopeeta, the sounds are lo-fi and demonic black metal structures, the recording is not that great, I can barely hear the instruments in the backdrop but do hear the yelling over the band that just seems like back masking and satanic slur. I am not too impressed with this outfit and feel this compilation got weak towards the end of side A.
Side B
Begins Manic / Depression with a track named “The Dead and the Dying”, this track sounds like an old VHS tape ran through distortion, nothing is spectacular about this track because there is nothing to it really but a couple of sounds that are muddy. Windy and rough is the way this track plays. Track 2 belongs to Grunt with a track called “Daddy’s Little Sex Toy –Head in Box”, this is really good, the track starts with a really good sample of a lady talking about being hung upside down and left. The noise starts with bass driven pulses and trademark vocals from Mikko Aspa. This is a notable track for the entire compilation because it is very strong and has that simple procedure that works every time you here a track from this project. Nasty distortion with shredding feedback gives this track a heart. Track 3 is Bizarre Uproar with “Saappaat Murskaa”, this is a very long track of good abrasive noise and walls of distortion. This sounds like old Bizarre Uproar, straight to the point and brutal. Within the past couple of years walls have become more popular with the likes of The Rita and The Cherry Point, but I can honestly say that BU can’t be touched when it comes to this type of fierce aggression. Vocals are present on this track late but they only add to the chaos and hate. This is definitely a notable track here.
Track 4 is Wertham with “Nil by Mouth” (Beat You To Your Blue Remix), I believe Wertham is only act on this entire cassette that is not Finnish but fits perfectly amongst the rest of these great acts. High pitched shrills, devastating distortion and balls feels the air ways here with a nice mix of sounds and effects. I don’t really get the remix part here but the track itself is good. I don’t really know what else to say but go get a copy of this because it is worth it even if it is deleted by now. This release is Pro duplicated tape in polycase with xerox insert.
Limited to 250 copies.
