"I remember hearing Zann for the first time a couple of years ago when Ewan played me a CDr of their stuff, and being blown away by them live a few weeks later when they played Leeds with Iceburn. When they hit these shores this time around they played Leeds with their split 7" partners Funeral Diner, and they were anything if not better than before - intense metallic craziness. Anyways, picked up this 7" at that gig, and it's fuckin ace. Zann's stuff is spot-on - a claustrophobic wall of chaotic metal, and it has a really cool raw sound - if I close my eyes I can picture them bouncing around my living room, attacking the crowd with their guitars and plastic swords!"

This is very heavy German chaotic emo. Like the missing link between Acrid and Neil Perry. Full-blown noise at times, but also some slow chunky buildups and more traditional emo breakdowns. The singer growls the whole way through but sometimes the band sneaks in some melodies behind him. I've only listened to this record a few times but already some of the riffs are really starting to stick out and get my head moving. Boy, this is really a lot angrier than I expected. I thought it was at the wrong speed for a second because it's so heavy, but it still holds together really well for music this intense. It's hard to miss this one since it comes in a huge pink static-free bag. The record itself is transparent red vinyl with hand-stamped labels. Looks like this is the first release for Crucificados and their web page lists a lot of interesting projects so I guess I've got another German label to start following. (comfortableniche)

Brutality German style. This is pretty cool, it would be a lot cooler with a good recording but for a demo its not bad. Lots of distortion and screaming. Reminds me of Acme with faster drumming. I´m going to be sure to keep my eyes open for future releases from this killing machine. ADI/ heartattack .31
