Fascists To Ashes/15 Things You Didn't Know About Kangaroos/2011 CD Review


  This  is  another  review  of  an  album  from  Fascists  To  Ashes  which  continues  their  hybrid  of  comedy,  power  violence  and  grindcore  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2011  album  "15  Things  You  Didn't  Know  About  Kangaroos".

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  riffs  that  combine  power  violence  and  grindcore  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  with  some  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  at  times  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording, a s  for  the  acoustic  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  they  use  full  chords  to  enhance  the  comedy  elements  of  the  music.

  Vocals  range  from  high  pitched  grindcore  screams,  punk  style  yells,  humorous  clean  singing,  and  some  spoken  word  parts  and  samples  in  addition  there  is  a  brief  use  of  pig  squeels  being  utilized  on t he  last  song,  while  the  lyrics  cover  humorous  and  comedy  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  album  from  Fascists  To  Ashes  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  humorous  power  violence/grindcore,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Theodocy  Of  Hypocricy"  "Sydney  Opera  House"  "Catz"  and  "Bummin".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
