One of the most interesting grindcore groups of recent years. A deadly non-stop grind in the style of TERRORIZER, NASUM, old CARCASS, LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER, MACHETAZO!
I've heard some Nashgul material before, I even own a couple of their split 7”s. But I've never paid them too much attention for some reason, and only bought their releases for their split partners. It's not that I've ever thought they were bad, but they've never managed to blow me away and hence I haven't tracked down all of their stuff. But this is their first fulllength and it's just over 26 minutes long, so it's a rather short fulllength. That doesn't bother me as grindcore is a genre that certainly can get away with shorter releases since it's usually jam-packed with songs anyway.
But one of the first things that strikes me with "El dia después al fin de la humanidad" is the absolutely killer-looking booklet; I'm just a sucker for zombie artwork. And looking through the booklet I also realized that not all of their lyrics were in their native tongue (I was under the impression it was), here it's about 50/50 between Spanish and English, and both languages have translations vice versa. I've never realized just how obsessed the lads are with movies, and some lyrics are just pure homage's to specific flicks. However none of that is really what's important.
The old school grindcore presented here should speak to fans of Repulsion, Terrorizer, Warsore, Sewn Shut and tons of other bands, but they also incorporate some death metal all while retaining a somewhat crusty touch at times. They even go back to the days of yore which flavored death metal with some thrash, so there’s tons of diversity presented. The riffing is carefully laced with melody instead of a pure churning whirlwind of indiscernible riffs, which is accustom for many grind acts. The drumming also feels very true, just pure human blasting ability; and it sounds real and vivid. A certain amount of variation throughout their tracks is to be heard, and it definitely doesn't sound like just an endless stream of similar songs (which unfortunately also seems accustom).
The adrenaline level is high, the aggression is in your face and everything just reeks of old school munching grindcore. The dual vocals add tons of aggression with its high-pitch screams and low-key growls, and whether it's one of their slower bits with groovy riffing or just pure onslaught of blasting it's bliss. I don't know really why I haven't paid them more attention in the past, but I'll definitely keep track of them in the future.
