Benümb
Withering Strands Of Hope
[Relapse]


This is grindcore so pissed off that it actually scares me. Benümb have managed to put together an album full of angst, hate and sorrow, AND done it in the usual grind manner; 32 tracks in 26 minutes.

I believe no one could take a pummeling such as this over a greater length of time, for it is brutal-as-fuck-in-yer-face supersonic grindcore we're talking about here. The only downside I can really find is that it is done with slightly less precision than I normally expect from a grindcore outfit. But then again, it is a wall of prime neanderthal noise, and the world should be fucking scared of bands such as Benümb.
