.... prepare to be crippled ! 14 epic assaults of high speed violence that blast through the barriers of death, doom, crust, noise, & grind....These guys blend Black, Grind, Crust and straight-up Metal into a bunch of different areas that make maximum use of the diversity, spitting it back out as an angry, dark, killing machine. You could play this album to any kind of extreme metal fans and Im sure they would say AIS is a band from his favorite genre, yet the group manages to keep from being saddled with the baggage that comes from making a concerted effort to be a very specific type of band....
Brittle n belittling shards of crust, grind, black metal, D-beat, doom, melody, harmony, dissonance, disease, lifeblood, chaos, confusion,clarity, calamity, pessimism, optimism, hope, anguish go knee-deep into All is Sufferings bewilderingly assaulting/assaultingly bewildering debut album, The Past: Vindictive Sadisms of Petty Bureaucrats. Not so much a bunch of wankers playing DJs on an extreme jukebox, more so the sound of seemingly disparate elements congealing into an idiosyncratic, startlingly unrecognizable/alien whole, All is Suffering keep proceedings to a stridently urgent n outta-their-heads-with-dread onrush but slip in any of the above elements to jarringly dramatic effect, thereby eluding the easy tag of crustcore by appearing a helluva lot more evolved.
.... they take some of the most creative hooks and arrangements you are ever going to hear in grindcore and fuse them onto a framework of sound that is influenced by crust, power violence, death metal, and the kitchen sink ....
It should come as no surprise to hear that some of this groups favorite bands are Bolt Thrower, Celtic Frost, Repulsion, Bestial Warlust, Discharge and Motorhead, for you've certainly got the best elements of all those unique styles. At the forefront is a vocalist that screams his head off in a style that excellently blends the best of black metal and hardcore. Behind him are musicians that deliver such intensity and precision in their performance of the passionate music that they've written ....
