Great review of Small Doses

The great blog http://sorenauseaheadache.wordpress.com/ has made a very thorough review of Small Doses, taking the time to analyse all 100 tracks!

Read the entire review here!

The Kusari Gama Kill review goes as follows:
64 – KUSARI GAMA KILL – 1000 Blasted Bodies
Back in the golden era of MySpace Kusari Gama Kill nominated me one of their sideburns bros. Amazing. Bleeps, bent waves, noises, distortions, digital drum patterns. Everything on this track is well balanced and co-operate to create a funny and entertaining song, topped with a metal sounding (not the genre, the material!) vocal line. Amazing, as always!

Crucial Blast review of Collapsing In

This just in: Crucial Blast review of Collapsing In:

"Spanish label RONF is back with their first manufactured Cd release, a split between notorious noisecore pioneers Seven Minutes Of Nausea and OTT electronic blasters Kusari Gama Kill.

Once again, Seven Minutes Of Nausea crams more than a hundred of their insane fifteen-second bursts of micro-nuke grindnoise into a single long track, which they've titled "List Of Insignificance". It's just over eighteen minutes of brutality distilled into base elements of splattered drum machines, ultra-distorted bass and guitar noise, creepy background samples and vomitous gargling vokills. It's impossible to discern one 7MON track from another, but that's hardly the point of all of this. This is totally devoid of anything remotely recognizable as musicality. It's total warfare, an endless onslaught of microscopic anti-riffs swarming over bleak industrial drone and second-long bursts of spastic light speed hardcore. Samples of howling wolves arise in the distance, while the drummer atacks his kit in a flurry of amphetamine-fueled caveman pummel. Imagine Sore Throat remixed by Gerogerigegege. Or Napalm Death’s "You Suffer" covered by a malfunctioning garbage disposal unit.
Kusari Gama Kill are one of my favorite newer noisecore outfits. Their previous discs on RONF are all pretty killer, and they incorporate heavy use of digital effects into their short, thirty second eruptions of zombie obsessed grind-chaos. On their half of this split, the Danish maniacs deliver eighteen tracks of crazed electronic beats, fried digital noise, fucked-up hyperspeed gabber blasts, and hoarse, fearsome vokills that sound like a demon screaming from inside the guts of a Commodore 64 system, with titles like "Zombie Riot", "Urban Dead" "Ransacking The Mall" and "Headshots Galore". It's like grindcore being composed exclusively using sampled computer game sound effects, like Merzbow remixing early Earache speedcore, an extreme blasting vortex of hard drive speed violence. The exception is "Nausea Revisited", a ten minute track that appears to be the members of Kusari Gama Kill remixing 7MON material into a massive creeping dronescape of low end thrum, ominous drone and spacey effects, and time-stretched grindbursts that shifts between stuff that sounds like Bastard Noise mixed with droning grind guitars and stretches of death industrial-like heaviness. Very cool. Digi-violence freaks who dig stuff like Noism, Dataclast and Agoraphobic Nosebleed need to check these guys out. 

Limited edition of 300 copies"

DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Two live recordings make up this blistering cassette from the Floridian noisecore band Nuclear II, which is actually a solo project from Rick Smith, who is probably better known to most of you as the drummer for sludgepop titans Torche and grinders Shitstorm. As Nuclear II, Rick kicks up a furious storm of harsh, ultra-distorted improvised blastnoise using just a minimal drum kit and triggered noise, blasting shockwaves of brutal distortion through an amplifier as he whips up a tornado assault of blastbeats and rolls on his kit. It's a vicious noisecore attack that reminds me of Seven Minutes Of Nausea and their super-short blasts of percussive noise, but Nuclear II's "songs" are even more difficult to discern, and the two live sets that are documented on the Population Decimation cassette each feel like a non-stop ten-plus minute wall of blasting mayhem, an endless assault of furious freeform drumming that veers chaotically between hyper speed blastbeats and frantic free-jazz fills. The deafening blasts of bass-heavy noise and oscillating feedback that Rick emits over his percussive battery are strafed by shrieking harpy vokills, unleashing radioactive fire over the orgy of apocalyptic free-grind destruction. Sounds a whole lot like Masonna and Anal Cunt and Seven Minutes Of Nausea and the noisiest, most brutal free-jazz drumming imaginable, all smashed together in a skull-shredding cacophony. Sweet! The two live sets featured here are both from September 2009, one taken from a show at Claustrophobia Inc. in Gainesville, Florida, and the other from Radioactive Records in Fort Lauderdale. If yer a fan of stuff like Nikudorei, Deche-Charge, Anal Cunt, 7MON, Nihilist Commando, Kusari Gama Kill, New York Against The Belzebu, Anal Massaker, Arsedestroyer, Ptao and Sore Throat, you'll love this shit. We nabbed some of the last copies of this super-limited cassette, which is limited to 99 copies and packaged in black and white sleeves on professionally manufactured cassettes. Oh, and you can check out a clip of Nuclear II live on Youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckJR8x5rfCk . Total mayhem! © CRUCIAL BLAST
