HELLFISH Schallplatten & CDs

Review: There is no mucking about with this one from Hellfish on Deathchant - it is raw and pure old-school gabba brilliance. The title track 'Crybaby' opens with scorched bass and bright, sharp synth stabs that obscure a stylized female vocal in real grit and grime. 'Time To Get A Job' is a weird and wonderful sound with drunken drum stomps and a hooky melodic refrain that tumbles about the mix beneath stiff hits. It's brilliantly bonkers and then on the flip come two different versions of 'Wanna Go Faster'. The first is brain-frying and intense with frosted stabs and caustic synths and Footburn mix is then a blistering and industrial bit of techno noise.
