Australian label BlastAsFuk has released this multinational three way grindcore split. Get it only if you are ready to be pummeled like a bitch, hacked up to pieces like a victim of Mortician and then munched up for brunch by one of those silly mustachoed 70’s Italian zombies. First up is Brazilian trio Hutt who rapidly pack in fourteen songs of super electrical grind. Rapid fire drumming, barking vocals and crushing riffs that do quite the trick by mixing new hyper grind and the legendary quasi groove traits of hardcore countrymen Ratos De Porao. This is grind we are talking about, so you won’t even have time to turn around to check what’s up; Hutt delivers these fourteen cuts faster than you can say; where is that caipirinha?

Up next is New Mexico’s Noisear, of whom BlastAsFuk has already released their Red Tape Agenda full-length. Their five songs included here were recorded in 2005 and give a pretty good idea of their bestial intentions; sick drumming reminiscent of Rich Hoak (courtesy of Bryan Fajardo who also beats the skin for Kill The Client and Gridlink), discordant guitars, and insanely raw stretched vocals. There are actually a few approaches to the voice here; one throaty, blistering and raw and another one deeper, like the vocalist just choke on some meatballs.

Closing out Crushing The Grindcore Trademark are Japan’s Gate, who recorded some of this material all the way back in 2004. The picture of the chair-bound naked dude I think I’ve seen in an Agathocles record, but I may be wrong. Gate offers up eight songs of the loudest, fastest grind ilk. The recording is quite flawless and has the loudest mix of the bunch. The riffs are so fast they blur the lines of human possibility and the vocals are so cookie monster-like I bet your ass this dude’s breath smells like flour. There are a few covers included here: “Riven” by Assuck and “Radiant Arkham” by Discordant Axis, but unless you know your extreme music you won’t notice. Sick sick stuff. Good good stuff.
