Now a CD landed in my mailbox, recorded by a group called SIBERIAN MEAT GRINDER. At first, I thought the name sounded like a promotional CD for a new, particularly good meat grinder for the trendy burger joints in the capital.
This CD is indeed a meat grinder, even though this silver disc will hardly be played in the trendy burger places. Maybe at the end of the day or when the chef no longer feels like pressing edible things between two slices of bread.
The band also includes (ex-) members of What We Feel, Razor Bois, and Moscow Death Brigade. The scene in Russia is quite small.
You can tell from the very first seconds of this CD that there are people at work who know what they are doing. The sound is a harsh punch that combines trashcore, hardcore, punk, metalcore, and the skate sound of the 80s and 90s. This explosive mix is delivered with so much energy, pressure, and joy of playing that the urge to move automatically kicks in. This is old school with new elements and youthful exuberance.
The studio did a great job, just like the band. So it’s no wonder that the old veterans from Destiny Records have taken the band under their wing.
This is the sound that the forty-somethings at Destiny Records love, as it also reminds them of the sound from the USA when hardcore, skatecore, and melodic punk rock really came with pressure and from the streets, not from plastic bands like Zebrahead.
SIBERIAN MEAT GRINDER is for me the discovery of the still young year. An album that is just a lot of fun. If the band is only half as good live as I imagine, then the concerts will simply be wild demolition parties.
SIBERIAN MEAT GRINDER, remember that name.
