10 minutes of Brazilian brutality! That’s the only appropriate phrasing I can conjure up to articulate what Nuestro Sangre’s "Massacrados pela Ganância...Esmagados pela Miséria" feels like. Four tracks in length, this EP offers up something that is far further into metal territory than my comfort zone usually allows. However, it seems impossible to resist this cacophonous racket.
This is how I’d imagine Stamping Ground would sound were they to team up with Napalm Death, Berzerker, Raging Speedhorn and Haggis! Nuestro Sangre are capable of producing a quality that Raging Speedhorn manage so well; the ability to make your ears bleed with a sound that feels like a chainsaw cutting through your face before saving you from the seemingly inevitable headache with an irresistible and frankly damn sexy groove.
The vocals grumble up phlegm from the darkest recesses of Grindcore's throat but with a Punk Rock bile and delivery whilst the guitars sound something like The Ramones playing Black Metal with breakdowns! Behind this unholy ensemble, the drums and bass provide a marching, military- like drive; a terrifying Blitzkrieg that resonates deep inside the listener and would be the perfect musical accompaniment to a riot, war zone or just a Friday night out! In short, the balance is just right. Any further down the dirt track of metal and I fear I would grow despondent in hearing this, but the punk sensibility is just so that it manages, rather than wanking away a good idea into nothingness, to do what so many bands fail to do and utilise the qualities of both metal and punk orientated sub-genres.
By the end of this EP you will feel dizzy and shell shocked but it’s definitely worth it! This is one of the most refreshing brands of Metalcore I have heard in a long time and this is clearly a band to pay some fucking attention to!
