█ This is the pure Goatpenis sound: thrashy, █
█ somewhat melodic, headbanging black/grind filled █
█ with fantastic, sinister riffs and songs about █
█ warfare and genocide. All the typical elements of █
█ the band are there: distorted, demonic vocals, █
█ fast, pounding drums, and song structures that are █
█ both progressive and traditional in nature. The █
█ production on these tracks leaves something to be █
█ desired, with all three being rather murky, █
█ particularly in the guitar department, though they █
█ all have strangely different guitar tones. Of the █
█ three, 'Eht Tsrow Sdrow' is probably the best █
█ track, being a legendary Goatpenis song with some █
█ of the sickest, most evil midpaced riffs the band █
█ has ever turned out in their lengthy career. █
█ It's unfortunate that this release is so short, █
█ particularly when compared to the adjoined DVD. █
█ The tracks on this are apart from the production █
█ totally massive and deserve a better treatment. I █
█ guess it's better when you view the DVD as the █
█ main course and this just as a bonus item; still, █
█ I kind of wish there were at least a few more █
█ tracks to pad it out. █
█ █
█ --- █
█ █
█ If you haven't heard Goatpenis, they're awesome. █
█ They dress up as South American guerrilla fighters █
█ and play songs about nuclear warfare and genocide █
█ in a raw yet melodic style of black/grind. The █
█ music is ultra riff-based: very heavy, ripping, █
█ catchy riffs that are a sort of combination of █
█ Sarc≤fago and Napalm Death and almost impossibly █
█ savage and brutal vocals ranging from standard █
█ growls and screeches to pitch-shifted gurgles █
█ right out of fucking nowhere. It's great stuff and █
█ it just gets better in the live setting. █
█ You know what makes this DVD so great? How fucking █
█ huge the members of the band are. This is the █
█ first really, really intimidating band I've seen █
█ in a long while. Sabbaoth looks like he's pushing █
█ 300 pounds of pure muscle, and the other members █
█ aren't far behind him in size. Strapped with █
█ bandoliers of 7.62 rounds and grenades, setting █
█ fire to peace signs, and grinding out with the █
█ sort of fervor you'd expect from thirty men █
█ distilled to a tenth that amount- it's verging on █
█ a goddamn religious experience. You think you know █
█ metal? You think it's Manowar and Death? THIS is █
█ metal. This is the distilled essence of the █
█ aesthetic and the philosophy: zero compromise, █
█ zero tolerance, pure hatred. █
█ There's barely any movement on stage. No █
█ headbanging. The crowd is sparse and vaguely █
█ interested in the band. But there's a fire there █
█ that isn't communicated through grandiose gestures █
█ and egotistical flair. The music speaks for █
█ itself, working brilliantly both as ripping, █
█ crushing black/grind as well AND as a sort of █
█ philosophical treatise on the merits of war and █
█ destruction. Despite how little's really going on █
█ on camera, it's a release that benefits hugely █
█ from the visual presence of these three men who █
█ seem to be doing all they can to kill the audience █
█ with riff after bloodthirsty riff. God damn I love █
█ this concert. █
