Fuck The Underground Vol. 1: Death rides a pale white dude

14/04/14  ||  Cobal

Largely ignored, I hold cumpilations good chances to j… Errr… I hold compilations good chances to learn about acts I could have easily overlooked otherwise. I don’t fool myself, whenever I decide to pick one, I’m well aware most of it is probably gonna suck, but it will be worth it if one or two tracks manage to catch my attention and hopefully I’ll end up finding out a lil more about the bands in question.

With that regard, I must say this was hardly a disappointment. Mostly death and black-oriented, this volume was pretty irrelevant during the first tracks. I mean, nothing terrible but I was hardly attracted by anything in particular. Being that normal, I was confident something interesting would stand out eventually, and then I realized I had already listened to nearly 3/4 of the freaking thing. Thank Baphomet, ‘twas exactly after track 10 that my patience was rewarded. While tracks 10-15 are all somewhat good, I’ll stick to recommending just two of them: Rusty Eye’s “Sonambulist possession” (track 10), a listen-worthy combination of progressive heaviness and female vocals, and Blastanus’ “Punk bitch part II” (track 11), a brief and furious deploy of grindcorish death technicality. There are two new bands I should check out some day after all.

Cheers.

6,5/10: Expectations met.
