����� A new repress of the highly-sought after one-sided 12" that Osaka avant-grinders Completed Exposition originally released back in 2013. Man, people are crazy for this record - we blew through a bunch of these as soon as we got it in. It's not surprising though, as these guys are one of the craziest newer grindcore bands that I've stumbled upon; their stuff is monstrously heavy, with a dual bass guitar attack set to rampaging hyper-velocity drumming, both bassists also handling the two-man vocal assault, and it sounds like everyone is on fire.

����� Mankind is so far the longest release from the band; twenty tracks packed into about fifteen minutes on the one side of this record, the other side completely blank, the music a whirlwind of ultra-violent math-grind and powerviolence-influenced angular blastcore, those dual singers growling and screeching in pandemonic tandem over the blistering hyperspeed riffs and sickeningly splattery drumming. There's a choppy, spastic quality to this stuff that really sets your nerves on edge, with sudden stops and starts and vertebrae-punishing time signature changes every few seconds, and the band manages to cram some seriously complex blastcore into these thirty second eruptions of total rage. Fucking awesome stuff, laced with bits of ambient noise and odd samples, loads of vicious discordant riffing that leaves you only the tiniest gaps in which to catch a breath, all played by a trio of guys who have some serious chops, and the ability to suddenly downshift into an unexpected detour into splayed-out heaviness on the title track, slowing things way down as the band drops into a droning, atmospheric dirge.

����� Pretty amazing stuff with some serious instrumental technique; there are parts of this record that are so technically sharp that I'm reminded of both NoMeansNo and Discordance Axis at the same time. Which is probably the best recommendation I can give 'em. Comes in gatefold packaging, limited to five hundred copies.
