Brutal Truth - Walking Corpse 2112 (Digital EP)

 
Coming off the heels of one of if not the best grindcore album of 2011, End Time; the men in Brutal Truth are at it again. This time giving us a small taste of what’s to come in 2012 with their digital EP, Walking Corpse 2112.

This two song EP is brutal as fuck! It makes you yearn for more. Some may remember the song “Walking Corpse” from Brutal Truth’s debut album, Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses. “Walking Corpses 2112” is  a re-recording of that very song….go figure.  After listening to the 2112 version I had to go back into the Cicatriz vault of music and take another listen to the original. My only question is, “How the fuck did these guys make this song even more brutal?”. The answer is easy. Like a fine wine these guys get better with age.

“preconditioned.
Accepting your role
Robbed of life and stripped of soul
Fall into the same routine
Of drab existence, what does it
Mean
Are you satisfied with the way that
You exist?
Every single day just like the one
Before
Don’t you feel the need to express
The way you feel?
Wake your sleeping brain, there’s
So much more”

The final track on this EP is the song, “You Should Know Better”. This song is an exclusive digital release that can also be found on the compilation, This Comp Kills Fascist Vol. 1. This song wastes no time kicking the jams into high gear. Fast as all hell drum, brutal vocals and blistering riffs makes this one a winner.

They say, “good things come in small packages”. This is definitely the case for Brutal Truth’s Walking Corpse 2112. Fans of Brutal Truth and grindcore need to  this one…now!

Brutal Truth goes good with: Assuck, Napalm Death, Carcass, Anal Cunt, Slayer, Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Liberteer, Lapse, Eddie Brock

Brutal Truth - End Time

Brutal Truth has always been one of my favorite Grind bands. Since the first time I heard Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses, I was hooked. I heard that album and said "Fuck, this is my favorite kind of metal now!". Brutal, it's in their name and boy do they deliver. After two years we are finally being graced by Brutal Truth newest album, End Time. This is the end all be all of Grindcore. Bands take note, fuck those pussy breakdowns, this is real brutality.

This 23 track Grind masterpiece begins with the track, "Malice". What a great way to begin an album. Almost doom sounding drums start things off. This is the song to warm up to in the pit. This song starts off a little slow incorporating the doomy drums and minimal guitar accompanied by a few choice words from vocalitst Kevin Sharp. It leads us into the beging of our brutal journey with the song, "Simple Math". Have you ever been punched in the face by a wall of sound? You will be with this track. Brutal, fast , in your face grindcore; all in a minute twenty-eight.

One of my favorites track on this album if "Fuck Cancer". Coming in at exactly one minute long, this song and title says it all FUCK CANCER! The title track "End Time" is easily one of the highlights. Lyrically it is one of my favorites.

"our future is now, our world is ending
our life for the disdain has brought about our end time
... It's our time

for those who would fail to see a future uncertainty, end time is certainly
bring in you lost and pray, our world's catastrophe,
bring in the lost to stay

The end time is our time - Our time is the end time

No matter what our self destruction
a condition of memory suppressing past transgressions
bring on our annihilation in our world in chaos collapses
it never fails to amaze me how quickly we forget
watch our world in chaos collapse

our time
our time here on planet earth
cradle obliveon
fall asleep
in arms of obliveon "


In my humble opinion Brutal Truth is ahead of the curve in the genre of Grindcore. Personally they do it the best. As much as I love Assück, I'll still put Brutal Truth at the the top of my Grindcore list. For those about to Grind, we salute you!

Brutal Truth goes good with: Assück, Napalm Death, Anal Cunt, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Retox, The Locust, Cattle Decapitation, Inevitable End
