The German Depression play a grindcore with some death metal influences and have a long experience on their shoulders, even if just a full CD, "Chronische Depression", released, one year ago, while the Spanish pathological grinders Haemorrhage are less old than the former, though Morbid Rec. has already disgorged 3 legendary CD's for them, besides some Mini-CD's and EP's, and, last but not least, a massive live activity. D. sometimes remind of early Napalm Death, like in "Defaced", and some death m. traces are left and well recognizable, listen to "The Battle", whereas the following "An Autumn Blaze"'s got 2 deadly accelerations, and different extreme vocal styles, thanks to 2 growlers and founder mastermind/polyinstrumentist Kai's screams. Very brutal and well recorded, the 11 songs also feature Agathocles' "Enough"'s cover.
The crazy gore-grinders from hot and dry Spain don't need any introduction; enough to say they're the first extreme Spanish act signed by a foreign label; H. display 12 tracks from their best gigs in their mother-country to satisfy our thirst for their impending new album, "Morgue Sweet Home". I had to turn up my hi-end knob to the 'midday hour' to enjoy it, cos the recording is good, yet very low, but you'll fast forget this small defect when hearing the 5 huomourous nice guys, also helped by their funny pronunciation of English.
I prefered H's side, not only because of the well-performed covers from Carcass, Impetigo and Regurgitate, but also owing to the fighting spirit sweating out of the songs, proving they are at the top of their career. How higher can they arrive? And how much GORE can you take???
