To all the readers, I want to apologize for these last two issues being late. I have had a lot of personal stuff going on and have been busy with my band Apocalyptic Noise Syndicate as well. First off here is the March issue, a long awaited review that I didn't get the chance to get to but finally put it together!
Enjoy....
Captain Three Leg vs DSM split review
This split release features two of the Midwest's finest in the current scene of heavy music. First up, is long time running band Captain Three Leg, who delivers nineteen tracks of catchy hardcore punk/noise-core. The lyrics are tainted with sarcasm and humor, which is definitely apparent in the song titles such as: "Suburban Satanists", "Lyric Sheet Included", and "White Girls with Ukuleles". I enjoyed the catchy riffs that groove and complement the bursts of noise-core that follow. The instruments and vocals are blended well in the recording, but the bass tone hands down is my favorite as far as the recording quality goes.I like that C3L incorporates instrumental tracks along with their vocal laden tracks. It adds a different dynamic that I think a lot of other bands should take note of.
DSM serves up ten tracks of angry sludge/grind-violence that crushes you like a bulldozer with the angry driver going on a rant. I like the grittiness of the recording, and the mixed back and forth vocal assault between the duo. The slow parts crush and add a dark heavy aspect that's followed by bursts of fast paced mayhem. There's even a bit of a black metal feel that is definitely apparent on tracks like "Ape Hive". It gives off a feeling of isolation and anger that can erupt at any second without warning. The noise track "Cud" is dark and adds a haunting apocalyptic feel to close off the release.
