10 SECONDS ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH

NAPALM DEATH IS DEAD / HAKES split tape

Do you remember the good old “Death metal fuck off!!” tape by Deche-Charge? Those were simpler times and delivering a 3 seconds tape was an awesome noisecore joke to everyone. I really loved that concept, a tape so short that will end before you are able to read its title, but sadly its legacy was quite scarce, i recall a Disleksick one few years ago but not much more. Finally someone decided to go for it again and here it is! This time this is not a single band effort but a split one. The program repeats on both sides, just switching the order of the bands. Napalm Death Is Dead open the party with their full gig in Dom Studio in Koenji, no date provided. This bass/drums duo has been terrorizing unarmed ears for fifteen years now and goes in the same directory of World / New World and Cunts. Primitive and ultra brutal noisecore the way it should be. Well, this whole gig lasts like 3 seconds, so you can’t quite grasp all the shades of NDID but hey, this is noisecore, not a jazz suite. Hakes is a band by legendary Rado (Sedem Minut Strachu and K.A.Z. Records) and it sounds like GG Allin or Rancid Vat playing noisecore. This is absolutely not a proper noise project, but it’s so primitive and lacking of tangible songs structure that sounds like a modern version of Z or Confuse, all dipped in cider and paint thinner. Their song is a handful of seconds burst and, well, it’s cool.

This is obviously not a tape to have for its musical content, even if listening to noisecore trains you to appreciate even the littlest crumble of smashed notes you can get your hands on. This is a concept, this is a struggle for pushing the art of punching music in the face on a next level. Buy it, you scum.
