Human Cull - Stillborn Nation

Grindcore has managed to charm me a lot throughout the years. I know, 'charm' is not really a good word for this kind of musical brutality but I'll try to explain.  Over the past decades grindcore bands have always managed to surprise me with their intense tempo and downright punishing guitars.  While many people see this as uncontrollable chaotic noise, I see this genre as an extreme outing of that which is present in every art form. These are the b-horror movies and the gory, abstract paintings of the music industry.  Most of all, these are groundbreaking bands and both the music industry and our society need them.

Human Cull is a band from Exeter, England.  This trio is uncompromising and unforgiving.  This album, Stillborn Nation, is a brilliant piece of extreme metal and punk, comparable to bands like Nasum or Agoraphobic Nosebleed.  Downtuned, dissonant, amain and audacious music blasts through the speakers impressively fast.  In mere 25 minutes (and 23 songs), Human Cull unleashes an assault on your sanity and conscience.

My favourite track is actually the final one, 'Echoing Silence', probably because I'm a little more into doom metal than grindcore and this is a tremendous powerhouse of a song.  However, concerning power, none of the other songs are inferior.  From the painful shrieks that open 'Teeth For Revenge', over the immense blastbeats in 'Jackals', to the sickening gutteral vocals in, well, all of the songs, this album breathes intensity and fortitude.  

Grindcore and crust fans all over the world, may I present one of your new favourite bands.  If you have the chance, check them out live.  You'll be in for an unbelievable ride, filled with moshpits, stagedivers, crowdsurfers and walls-of-death.  At least, if you survive the gig...
