Now this is what I'm talking about! Trading pays off when you get gems like this! Starting off sounding like demo-quality Converge with Iron Monkey's Johnny Morrow on vocals, it doesn't take long for To Die to burst into mental grindcore and body-slamming breakdowns. Most of the songs are notoriously short, but they are mental as fuck and really really rabid. The guitar has a really mournful undertone to it, almost like black metal riffing in a way. The record is dubbed on a c10 and it's shorter than the tapes capacity, but it is well worth a listen. At the end there is a couple of live blasts, and then it's all over.
I've never considered Indonesia to have any semblance of a grind scene before, other than Wormrot, but I got some research to do. To Die are definitely ones to keep an eye on, and I'll be treasuring this tape for a long while. As of the time of writing I have a few copies for sale / trade over at Pointless Records, so get a hold on that shit! Alternatively, get on Japan's new (and off to a great start) label Fuck The Industry, which is all totally DIY and awesome as fuck. Get in!
PS: Please excuse the recent lack of updates...been a busy few weeks. Normal posting schedule should be back within the next few days.
