Another brain-flaying collection of cult Finnish noisecore from Mikko Aspa's Lolita Slavinder imprint, Arse's Discography collects the complete recorded output of this little-known noisecore outfit who vomited up a cathartic bile-blast of collapsing low-fi hardcore filth and hyperspeed noise for a couple of years in the early 90s. Featuring members of Finnish hardcore punk bands Hybrid Children and Sairaat Mielet, Arse only released three tapes before they broke up, each tape packed to the rafters with raucous ten second blasts of maniacal punk/grind slime that was directly influenced by Anal Cunt's brand of crazed noisecore. And like their heroes in AxCx, Arse were prone to throwing up big chunky messes of mutated speed metal or primitive doom amid their whacked-out piss-take covers of well known bands like Black Sabbath and The Beatles, fragments of recognizable riffs from songs like "Paranoid" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" suddenly appearing amid the whirling cyclonic shitstorm of blown-out bass and clattering drums and out-of-tune guitar skree. Ugh. And the vocals are completely fucked. Arse's "singer" Toni leaves his larynx shredded and destroyed, belting out intense high pitched screams that strafe across the blastcore assaults like the sound of an anally-electrocuted Rhesus monkey being hurled down a fire escape right on the heels of a toxically tanked grindcore trio. Some of this shit is super heavy, though, like the later live material where the band introduces their feedback-drenched blurr and bizarre reverb fuckery into slow grueling doom riffs that plow through your grey matter like a corroded bulldozer.

Like most noisecore discography releases from bands who recorded hundreds of ultra-brief "songs", this has each release and live performance indexed as an individual track; at nearly fifty minutes, though, there is a shitload of stuff on here. The disc features their 1992 demo (loaded with songs like "Triumph Of Cats", "Coma Of Ghouls", "Speed Metal Makes Me Puke", "Stench Of Burning Penis", "Glen Benton Is Loser", and the classic "Butthole Is The Place To Be"), some brief but explosive shows from 1992-93, the absolutely savage Right Hand Path session from '92, filthy rehearsal recordings, and everything off of their No Sleep 'Til Kasisali World Tour 1992 tape. This stuff is brutal and one of the better examples of 90's noisecore, enhanced by the band's hardcore-informed level of savagery that unfortunately tends to go missing from these kinds of noise/blurr bands. Definitely recommended if you're into the ear-terrorism of Anal Cunt (obviously), Seven Minutes Of Nausea, Sore Throat, and Arsedestroyer...
