Axis Of Despair - Mankind Crawl EP (2017, Give Praise Records)
As many fans
of Punk and Metal I have a soft spot for Grindcore and its many incarnations. Sweden’s
Axis Of Despair formed of members of
Nasum, Coldworker, Infanticide,
Volturyon, Livet som insats, Nervgift,
and Overtorture is close to be a
replacement of the aforementioned defunct Nasum
in this writer’s heart.
Those six
songs 7’’ was recorded at the same time that the Time And Again EP was recorded. The Grindcore genre is keen on
releasing a plethora of 7’’, EP, splits, cassettes, and other collectible
elements. This ten minutes of music is just enough for us to discover the band
and not enough to get bored. The music feels a lot like Nasum’s in its fast and crusty nature and D-beat approach.
Knowing that
the band is currently working on an entire LP makes us wonder if they would be
able to elevate their music and writing chops to the level of Inhale/Exhale and Human 2.0. With 2015’s Beaten
To Death release I got my hopes back up into the Grindcore genre. Mankind Crawl is a promising EP that
could lead to a solid LP.
