FUCK THE SYSTEM

in my book SCATHA were always among the unique bands. the bands that strayed from the horde and did their own thing. on this 3 track 7" they sound a little bit more generic than on their other releases but I´d still consider this a good 7"! and they managed to put everything that´s to say about "the system" in the 4 lines of FUCK THE SYSTEM - WE DON`T WANT IT! FUCK THE SYSTEM! WE DON`T NEED IT! FUCK THE SYSTEM! WE DON`T LIKE IT! FUCK THE SYSTEM! WE DON`T WANT YOUR FUCKED UP SYSTEM! I´d say they did a good job! b.t.w. the word system comes from a Latin word. the Romans used to call their sewer the system!

THE VOICE OF DYNAMITE

the IRON COLUMNS 2 x 12'' comp. comes in a thick gatefold sleeve and a thick booklet that´s glued to the sleeve. so no scans of the artwork this time! to be honest all I read so far were the lyrics of the bands. the rest of the booklet annoys me right from the start with headlines like "DEAR ANARCHIST BROTHERS AND SISTERS" e.g.! the few things I noticed seem to deal with sexism and mind manipulation which is basically a pretty intersting topic (b.t.w. in correct English shouldn´t it be "WAR AGAINST TERRORISM" instead of "WAR ON TERROR"?) but I ´d to doubt that there is anything you can explain to someone who doesn´t have at least some basic knowledge in that matter with that little info you can provide with such limited space! but as I haven´t read that much I can´t really judge! anyway, take a look on the list of the bands that appear on this compilation if these names are no reason for you to download, probably nothing that I could add would be a reason for you to do so! cause of this I´ll just tell you that MAKHI are better known as SEVERED HEAD OF STATE and that I´ve been told that their tracks from here are included on a SEVERED HEAD OF STATE discography CD where the name MAKHI isn´t even mentioned, that the 3 KRIGSHOT tracks (one being a cover of, you guessed it, MOB 47´s KRIGSHOT) aren´t available anywhere else as far as I know and that the worst band on the comp. is Dutch BOYCOT but that was to be expected! oh, and on my copy the labels were completly messed up!

RESPECTPROTECTRECONNECT

THIS 12" IS DA BOMB! slow to midtempo brutality from scottish SCATHA that rools over you like a tank! when I saw SCATHA live their singer wore self sewn sheepskin (?) clothes and left the impression of being a real maniac! this 12" is like a concept 12" that spins round gaellic culture [part of the lyrics is sung in gaellic] and mankind´s interaction with nature! essentiel!
