Rotten Sound - Cycles

Since their inception in 1993, Rotten Sound has unleashed many furious grindcore albums onto the world. I have only witnessed them once, and just rediscovered them last year through their record Murderworks. Now they throw a new disc in our faces, and it’s called Cycles. Let's check it out!

Well, if you dig some good straight-forward grindcore in the vein of Nasum, Napalm Death and Misery Index, you’ve just found the right band. The old-school spirit has been very well persevered in this band, so no dumb-ass gore lyrics or other masochist bullshit. Just fast-forward, blasting razor-sharp grindcore from Scandinavia. Especially the Nasum influences really show in their music (can’t be otherwise of course, due to past collaborations with Nasum vocalist/guitarist Mieszko Talarczyk, RIP), which is something I appreciate a lot.

Overall I think I like the production of Murderworks better, but I can’t really say that this is a bad disc at all though. It grinds, it blasts, it grooves. Add some lyrics that have actual content and a good screaming voice to convey them and you’ve got a worthy release for your grindcore collection. I for one am convinced that this is a great band, and I will definitely check more of their releases in the future.
