CRIPPLE BASTARDS "Variante Alla Morte"LP
Długo oczekiwana czwarta płyta weteranów grind/punk/noise z Włoch. 24 piosenki solidnego szybkiego grind/hatecore'a z dużą dawką thrashu. Nagrań dokonano w szwedzkim Fredman Studios (AT THE GATES, OPETH, ARCH ENEMY, DIMMU BORGIR, THE HAUNTED, DRILLER KILLER, SKITSYSTEM) i bez wątpienia jest to najpotężniejsza płyta CB nie tylko pod względem produkcji. The longly awaited 4th full-length album by Italy's most hateful and aggressive Grindcore unit ever, terrorizing the masses since 1988. 24 tracks of solid fast Grind/Hatecore with a huge dose of thrash, hyper-varied vocals and annilhating blastcore bursts. Released by Shane Embury's FETO Records/UK and recorded in Sweden at Fredman Studios (At the Gates, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir, The Haunted, Driller Killer, Skitsystem + tons more) this 31 minute hammer-in-the-face is a total guarantee of pure CB ultraviolence backed by a powerful production, with no doubt the best CB ever had. The absolute album to celebrate 20 years of Cripple Bastards! Here's one of the first reviews the album got outside of Italy: "for nearly two decades Italian grindcore merchants Cripple Bastards have been on the scene. With three full lengths, a double DVD and 30 splits to their name they are no strangers to anyone vaguely familiar with the underground. Now Feto Records - the label headed up by Napalm Death’s Shane Embury and Anaal Nathrakh’s Mick Kenney - is releasing their new album "Variante Alla Morte". With comparisons to grindcore legends Napalm Death (pre-"Fear Emptiness Despair"), Agathocles, Phobia and second wave genre acts like Gadget, Nasum or Regurgitate this Italian quartet merges the best of the genre’s earlier outfits with its current modern day purveyors. Combining the genre’s hardcore punk roots with modern day grindcore "Variante Alla Morte" is a testament to the strong will of these Italian stalwarts. The punk/hardcore influence comes mostly from Giulio’s angry streetwise shouts, screams and barks. True to form the material on this record is short, compact and relishes in delivering a quick one-two punch to its listeners through the combination of catchy short and few longer tracks. While sung entirely in Italian, Cripple Bastards deal with topical socio-critical issues and not the horror and gore that is associated with the genre these days. Recorded at the highly regarded Studio Fredman in Hyssna, Sweden with Frederik Nordström (Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames) handling the mix "Variante Alla Morte" comes with the expected high end production job. The guitars are brick heavy in their crunchiness while remaining clear, the bass thunders audibly in the back and the drums sound very well produced. "Variante Alla Morte" is definitely one of the strongest grindcore albums on the scene today. Be sure to check it out.

I jeszcze kilka recenzji:
"CRIPPLE BASTARDS were formed 20 years ago in Northern Italy and have made a name for themselves as one of the fiercest bands on the planet. "Variante Alla Morte", mixed by Fredrik Nordström (DIMMU BORGIR, IN FLAMES, HAMMERFALL), continues down the path of brutality that fans of the band have come to know and love". "20 years after their inception, Italy's finest exponents of grindcore bile still haven't learnt to chillax - as "Variante alla morte" proves. Packed with short, spazzed out anthems of hate but this time out they're transformed by Fredrik Nordström's production". (Kerrang) "By no means an unknown band - hell, there's a tribute album in their honour - Cripple Bastards have for whatever reason been marginalized by many rather than recognized for being one of the greatest Grindcore bands on Earth" (Metal Maniacs, USA) "Granted, much of "Variante alla morte" sounds like Napalm Death crossed with Cryptic Slaughter captured in a Swedish recording studio, but Cripple Bastards lessen the blow of unoriginality with an avalanche of granite-solid material" (Decibel Mag, USA) "Compared to past recordings, "Variante.." is catchier and holds down a consistant and solid groove, but is just as ruthlessly violent." (Terrorizer Mag, UK) "Monumental Grindcore, majestic in the rhythm-riff interlocking, lead by Giulio the Bastard in a disgorge of antisocial, antihuman, anti-all lyrics" (Metal Maniac Italy)
