Alienation Mental - Ball Spouter - 75%

Pestilent, March 20th, 2004

Now I am no major fan of grind core but this band has impressed me somewhat. What struck me at first is the weird name for the CD “Ball Spouter” and the CD cover: some device emitting light and throwing out balls.

But other than this, these Czech grind core 5-piece have come out with a pretty decent full length to say the least. A lot of effort seems to have been placed into these songs – they’re damn heavy, fast and well brutal. They also added real weird intros and sampling all over the album. I like the work on the drums and guitar a lot – good for head bangers! Vocals are sick too. A song which I must comment about is “Children of South”. It starts with a brilliant catchy guitar riff which practically persists through the whole song. Then comes in the cool drum beat and yeah…sampling/scratching on the DJ board. You may say what the fuck is this? I don’t know – it’s cool and catchy to me though.Sound is good…sheer sickness and talent. Keep it up grinders in Alienation Mental.
