mindflair - green bakery

.... a unique mixture of old-school hardcore, jazzy riffs (but not the boring demonstrating way!) and modern blasting to the core grind is a quite short time period. Really short compared to the quality, energy and uniqueness delivered by this debut reminding, but never copying, Brutal Truth's "Sounds of the animal kingdom" era…

... smacks you over the head with 15 tracks of groovy "baked" grindcore with tortured vocals, in league with the punked out blast power of BRUTAL TRUTH's later material, weighed down by massive crushing grooves. While Mindflair speeds up to Mach 10 blasts and unleashs some wacked out intricate structures which might vaguely remind you of Dillinger Escape Plan or Burnt By The Sun, MINDFLAIR mostly keep their green-grind locked into early-EARACHE, Napalm Death / Heresy / Brutal Truth style mode. Green Bakery is an intensely effective mix of crushing raw HC, brutal grindcore, and the occasional element of death metal and crustcore/d-beat. MINDFLAIR features members of esteemed German speecore/powerviolence masters KENT BROCKMAN and FLACHENBRAND.

The guitar sound extremely resembles TERRORIZER's cult album "World Downfall" and even apart from that TERRORIZER can be used as reference. As far as you can see, you get blasting from the barrel, but always with sense and intelligence. Speed for speed's sake won't be found on this CD, no, some "slower" parts bring in at least a minimum in variety. The production also is very powerful, what would you want more, the singer offers the whole spectrum between deep garglegrunt from the depths of the coal chamber and hysteric barking like FILTHY CHRISTIANS.
