Green Beret (USA) - S/T (2000)
Just when I was thinking that it's really about time that I post something, Jyb of Cadillacs & Dinosaurs and Claustrophobic Decapitation sent me another mail! This is his second contribution to Cephscope, the first one being Tetsuo's Ranshuo . Thanks Jyb! Here's what he says: "Here's another record from my small collection : Green Beret. That must be one of the weirdest and funniest record I have. Take grindcore, surf rock, movie samples, vocoder, cheap-ass synth and a black sab' cover. Blend it all, and ta-daa! …
An Introduction: Csihás Benö - Balkan Powerviolence
"Kakav je ovo pank bre?" "Aaaaaaaaaa u kurac! To je power violence!" Introducing Csihás Benö, a relatively new band to the Sombor punk scene (Serbia). News of the guys' debut album made me excited, the reason being their choice of genre, mostly, recalling bands such as Spazz, Infest, and Crosed Out. Powerviolence in the Balkans? Prior to these guys, the closest to the term was Panaceja (split up), but it's pretty safe to say that Csihás Benö are the only band here playing straight-out PV. Csihás Benö includes all t…
324 (Japan) - Soulwinter 7" EP (1999)
Tracklist: 1. Waterdrop 2. Idealize 3. Broken Clock 4. Soulwinter Total playing time 07:07 Grindcrust perfection. I know I said that already. I know I'll say it again, no doubt. While I wouldn't call 324 tight, inventive, or even that fast by some standards, they blast with awe-inspiring conviction. Their style is perfect as a modern-day example of the origins of grind, in all their crusty glory. Something important that all love-thrash practitioners could learn from 324 is the second most important rule of grind (just behind "pla…
Pulp(UK) - Freaks(1987)
Tracklist: 1. Fairground 2. I Want You 3. Being Followed Home 4. Master Of The Universe 5. Life Must Be So Wonderful 6. There's No Emotion 7. Anorexic Beauty 8. The Never-Ending Story 9. Don't You Know 10. They Suffocate At Night Total playing time 44.13 It's just dawned on me that this record is 21 years old. Crikey. Pulp were always darker that the other pop acts in the UK in the 90's. Their kitchen-sink drama tales of sordid lust and grim desperation behind the closed curtains of surburbia always seemed to sit awkwardly out …
Tetsuo (Japan) - Ranshuo
Tracklist: 1. Ranshuo Total playing time 16:15 So Jyb decided to contribute Tetsuo's Ranshuo to Cephscope. I am fully aware that you know nothing at all about this band. Get ready though ... (!) Tetsuo is basically ex-Birushanah. The mere thought of this should make you wet, really. I planned on posting yesterday, actually, but Dødheimsgard made that cephalochromoday. Here's what Jyb said: "Here's my first contribution to Cephalo': "Ranshuo", by Tetsuo. It's a one-track album, 16mn long. If you notice a res…
