I’ve never encountered No Thought before,
but I really enjoyed their mix of styles. Many bands do the whole
doom-into-grind thing, but No Thought seem to pull it off rather seamlessly
here, which is fuckin’ great. The production is thick and crunchy (mmmmm yummy)
and based more in the low-end of the spectrum, and reminds me rather poetically
of Rotten Sound mixed with early Brutal Truth. Well worth a listen, I’d wager,
if you’re into both the fast and slow aspects of heavy music.
Archagathus seem to have a bigger line up
here than usual? The over-all sound is much more polished as well, which is a
first for me. I need to check the dates on these 7”s that I have; perhaps most
of the Archagathus stuff I’ve heard is the older material, as this sounds
fairly different to what I’ve gotten used to. Things are most definitely much
tighter around the edges, and the production is not as harsh. The super-growly
vokills are still evident, as is the group’s punky playing style, but
everything seems to have been tidied up a bit. Still sounds fuckin’ cool
though!
This 7” was released by the Uranium Overdose label.
