Extreme Noise Terror - Being and Nothing

Brutality's new definition - 95%

phantasos666, February 17th, 2004

With all the tiring line-up changes that occured through the years that ENT are around, it's surprisingly brutal to see that the spirit of this band hasn't change like hell. "Being And Nothing" is a relentless brutal death grinding attack, like no one could foresee. They seem that haven't made music for years, once the rage and blasting fury of this album seems that ENT are just too angry to give a break to the fans. After the amazing "Damage 381", where the old scholl grindcore spirit prevailed [most because of the Barney's trademark vocal register] alongside with social political directioned lyrics, ENT changed a bit their direction focusing much more on brutality and speed, with a new line up [as always] where for my surprise enters former Cradle Of Filth guitar player Gian Pyres. Full blasting from the beggining to the end and killing everything on it's way, "Being And Nothing" only fails in its shortness. Opening with the balzing furious "Being And Nothing" and finishing with "Detestation". Only hatred and fury exales from this album, not for the faint of heart. To have a closer idea of what I'm talking, pick up Malevolent Creation's "Envenomed" and "The Will T Kill" and you can see the difference between "Damage 381" and "Being And Nothing". More in your face brutality, always with superior technical performance, just like a band like ENT could do. Extreme Noise Terror is the new brutality meaning.
