ABORTICIDIO  self-titled  7" VINYL   (General Speech)   8.98


     Sucks that we couldn't get any of the copies of this 7" that had the original artwork; the original sleeve sported some seriously vile, naive art that looked like something scraped out of the inside of Mike Diana's skull. Oh well. I can live with this slightly revised version, as it's still one of the nastiest sounding new noise-punk records I've stumbled across lately. Aborticidio are a Mexico City-based duo whose ultra-blown-out punk is so chaotic and noise-damaged that his seriously starts to verge on turning into total noisecore. Most stuff in this vein tends to stick pretty close to that now oft-copied Confuse sound, but these guys are fucked-up on a different level, barreling through five songs of fast-paced hardcore punk that is almost completely buried beneath screeching high-end gain and ear-shredding guitar noise, their brutal Dis-riffs submerged into the rampaging assault, the croaked shouts of the singer and the furious bass riffs the few aspects of musicality that emerge from this outrageous mess of treble-cranked filth. But then they close with the song "Let's Dance To The Noise Punk!", and this suddenly rips into an awesome pogo attack, a super catchy streetpunk anthem, albeit one still buried beneath outrageous amounts of low-fi hiss and murk and muck. Pretty demented stuff, especially when paired with their oddball art, which even in this "cleaned up" version features childlike drawings of drunken punks, mutilated torsos, and demonic molestation scrawled across the sleeve and booklet. Another one for any of you who dig the sonic aesthetics of power electronics applied to violent, fucked-up old-school punk. Limited to two hundred fifty copies.
