Here are a couple of CDs, I have been listening to these past few days.
Buas by Indonesian
metal band Speedkill
The Jakarta outfit’s second album – with a somewhat
different line-up -- was released in 2016 (San Hitam Records) nine years after
their debut album, Metallium A.D. was released in 2007!
Despite being sung in Indonesian, I can appreciate the band’s
music. It’s thrash metal all right with those buzzsaw guitars played at
breakneck speed. I don’t think the seven-track album slows down at all.
Paving Stone Under
the Beach by French grindcore band Fatal Nunchaku
This is the third album from this trio from Tolouse, France
that was released in 2011 by a consortium of labels (mainly from Indonesia). The
songs – 18 of them – are short, fast, furious, and violent. Not really crazy
about this kind of music. I get a kick laughing at the lyrics when you’re hard
pressed to understand what the fuck they are growling about. According to the
band, their lyrics are political and have vegetarian issues. Right.
