NASHGUL – The Day After the End of Humanity – CD

Review: I’ll just sum things up right away, this is high energy grind spiked with some awesome old school death metal influences. The production is quite punishing and reminds me of early Nasum. The skiful, brutal drum work comes across powerfully, and coupled with a wall of low-tuned guitars and a truly heavy bass sound, this thing hits you like a ton of bricks in the gut. The shrieking and growling vocals sound as ever ferocious as ever.
Song-writing is quite distinctive and varied enough, hard-hitting. The whole album is clearly carefully put together, truly, mercilessly brutal and tied together with an overall dark atmosphere, probably derived from the album’s awesome post-apocalyptic concept. These are 19 intense tracks in only 26 minutes, a real concentrate of great riffs and all around butt-kicking grind. Some very gorgeous art and stylish layout; lyrics sheet in spanish with thorough english translations (or vice-versa) to round things off! This is really swell work… Nothing much else to say really, except get this right away! This one’s a must-have in my book. Spain seems to be pretty fertile ground for grind and this is assuredly one of Spain’s top bands to me.Braindead zine
