As a total noisecore junkie, I'm always pleased when something new from C.S.M.D. comes in the door. These Dutch blastfreaks are never boring, and bring a demented kitchen-sink approach to their low-fi blurrcore. On this split 7", C.S.M.D. (which stands for Crowd Surfers Must Die) are back with a nonstop assault of schizoid noise abuse, sharing wax with another Dutch band called A.S.H. for a brief orgy of goofball noisecore and powerviolence worship.

A.S.H. tear through eights songs of crushing powerviolence with tongues planted in cheek and a surprisingly powerful recording for nthis sort of stuff. Their relentless freakazoid blasting is firmly in the tradition of bands like Crossed Out, Infest and Spazz, and like the latter band, they toss out lots of weird tangental ideas into the mix that see them fusing groovy rock riffs, bizarre vocal gibberish, random samples, and brain-damaged stoner rock with the brutal hyperspeed hardcore. These guys kill.

CSMD's sample-infested noisecore is as whacked out as ever on their side. Low fi punk rock is buried underneath layers of crazed theremin abuse and twangy rockabilly guitar, and then the spacey greaser jams suddenly ignite into a 1000 mph blur of grindnoise that is shot into a massive missle silo. It's an unholy mess of blown out sludge and electronic effects, ferocious gorilla roars drifting up out of a mine shaft, and then suddenly swerves into a cyclonic cover of the Batman theme at the end. Total fucking mayhem!
