Total Fucking Destruction from Philadelphia (USA) combine punk, grindcore, metal and hardcore into some very weird but highly destructive tunes. The highly convincing DIY punk-attitude, combined with a decent sense of humour makes their four songs on this split the most surprising ones. Songs regulary shift tempo and vocal range and even have a melodic aspect, which is quite an achievement when you realize none of the songs lasts over two minutes.
Fubar, from The Netherlands, take their grindcore a bit more serious and come up with five crushing songs in a fierce tempo. Their flashing guitar riffs, thundering blast beats and guttural vocals have already wrecked stages, audiences and speakers far and wide and on this split it's no different. Fubar belongs on the foreground of today's grindcore scene.
I know, this split is only eleven minutes long but that short amount of time is more then enough to leave the listener behind with a severe whiplash, several broken bones and loose bowels. The split blasts through the speakers at an immense and intense speed while still holding a decent amount of variation. For many people, this is just sickening noise but for grindcorefans this is perfect sickening noise...
