Nashgul - El Dia Despues Al Fin De La Humanidad
Attention, all you filthy dirtbags. Spanish Grindlovers Nashgul are back to attack your auditory canals with gory end-of-the-world-themed stuff. If you´re into this kind of music, you certainly heard the name Nashgul before or maybe you even know some of the numerous Split releases the band launched since their founding year 2003. If not, this rather short full length album (only 26 minutes of total playing time) is also a good way to get familiar with the band.
However, Power It Up Records took care of this bunch of South European gore worshippers and published “El Dia Despues Al Fin De La Humanidad”. What you´re about to hear is nothing else than fast and dirty old school Grindcore in the vein of Repulsion, Sewn Shut and Altar Of Giallo. Accompanied with some Death Metal ingredients, the songs also offer a retaining crusty D-Beat touch, which adds more variations to Nashguls sound. No doubt about it, this is true Grindcore insanity and brutal to the core. Dual vocals parts - dark growling and high pitched screams - fuel the aggression even more. The riffing is somewhat punkish, but well executed and deadly in its own manner. If you take a look at some of the song titles (e.g. “Street Trash“), you´ll easily imagine, these guys are obsessed by various movies and obviously some of the lyrics are a kind of sick tribute to particular motion pictures. The production is a bit low-fi, but still decent and it fits the whole album pretty good and leaves an unsterile aftertaste of death and gore. A nice artwork completes this interesting release and supporters of old school Grindcore would be well advised to keep an eye on Nashgul and their zombie-ridden visions.
