Band: Looking For An Answer
Title: Eterno Treblinka
Label: Relapse Records
Distribution: Rough Trade Benelux.
Release date: June 7th 2011
Review: CD

One of Spain’s premiere Grind-combos (and believe me: when it comes to decent old fashioned and straight-forward Grind-filth, Spain is a country not to be underestimated! It was the case in the earliest years, it was the case during the late nineties and the beginning of this century, and it will still be the case, I guess, in a few years. Or at least for a few months…  Weeks maybe?) return with their first Relapse-soniksikness. Hurray, ‘cause we’re talking about a new recording of Looking For An Answer, available only a couple of weeks after the release of Haemorrhage’s Hospital Carnage, also on Relapse (review posted May 9th).
Seventeen tracks, thirty one minutes in totality, it’s like a testament to what straight-forward Death Metal-injected Old Skool Grindcore should be. Razor-sharp sonic attacks, deadly blasts, merciless splatter-eruptions and gorified decelerations, coming with a filthy, muddy sound, it’s like an angel whispering a lullaby in my ear.
Don’t expect the addition of modern gadgets or progressive constructions, don’t wait for the most renewing band to come; no, this material is primitive, no-nonsense and completely lacking any commercial aim. It sounds strongly inspired by good oldies like Terrorizer, Autopsy, Repulsion, Napalm Death and Brutal Truth, mixed with elements from Obituary / Bolt Thrower (certain guitar riffs indeed), early Grave / Corpse, Carnage / Carbonized, Suffocation and Exhumed.
