Unaustralians
(Pulled Out - PULL07) LP + DVD $22.50
Taking their name from Meat & Livestock Australia propaganda, the Melbourne-based duo of Ein and Aus transgress a spiritual reality in which grindcore is subverted toward a path of procratinat-obliteration. Forty-six cranium-fracturing songs featuring wailing Banshee vocals, a drum machine set to over 300bpm, and a possessed, 20th-Century shredder guitarist. On stage, the duo uses chainsaws, exploding corpses, and other visual devices that communicate their ideas about domestic violence and civil disobedience. UnAustralians truly represent the extremely brutal end of improvised music in Australia. “Quite possibly the most insane outsider-weirdo-grind-metal-what-the-fuck record we have ever heard,” marvels Aquarius, “Imagine a super lo-fi grindcore, cobbled together from blasting lightning-fast drum machines, shredding super tech lead guitars, super processed, almost mechanical riffs, and Melt Banana-like high pitched yelping vocals, all tossed in a blender and spat out at a million miles an hour. Only sometimes all you can hear are the vocals, or the drums disappear underneath an avalanche of guitars, or everything is so amped up it becomes a buzzy blur, topped with high pitched squeaks and yowls. Totally nuts.” Edition of 300 on clear red vinyl.
