Doom Go Mad Yourself EP
This fan club only release shows good command of a more tasteful speedcore style. Still, there’s a monochromatic element in the songwriting which makes this fall a bit flat, despite good energy and power. Adequate.

Speed metal with all its excesses and pretentiousness. Four songs, all heavy.
Japanese speedcore, complete with lead breaks, mosh breaks, and every manner of instrumental self-indulgence. Good energy, but this is too close to Rock for comfort.
Pee-pee.
A three-song speedmetal and metal-punk release, with the accent on the metal. Not as bad as some, but still a dinosaur.
A two-song, one-sided job, both tunes featuring driving rhythm and noisy guitar, though the overall effect is not too powerful.
Decent but not overpowering pop-punk. Easily catchy pop tunes (almost too AM) are caught with OK power and production, and at times almost a post-punk feel.
Terse, speedcore riffing energizes this fast, to-the-point trio of songs. The abrasive vocals are quite good, and the guitar work aims for original reworkings of the basic core figures we’ve come to expect from this genre. Verdict: a top-notch example of the style, though not exactly my cup of tea.
