One the weirdest noisecore bands ever is back with this new 7" that pays tribute to the classic kaiju genre of city-stomping Japanese monsters, while bugging out bigtime with a bizarro grind-noise / plunderphonic psych assault. Using just theremin, drums, guitar and vocals, these Dutch noiseniks (who sometimes also go by Crowd Surfers Must Die) throw together everything from covers of theme songs from old TV action shows, noise freakouts, ultra-distorted grind, and weird lounge music into eleven "songs". And it's absolutely unhinged. CSMD's obsession with triumphant TV theme music is what is paramount here; just check out the opening track, which is a triumphant rendition of the original Battlestar Galacta theme that plays out before erupting into some spaced out noisecore loaded with crazy fx and electronic noise, like Anal Cunt with space rock synths zipping all over the place. From that point on, the 7" blasts through cacophonous walls of psychedelic junknoisegrind, volleys of sloppy blast beats, mangled sludge rock, Hawkwind-style fx whooshing everywhere, blink-and-you-miss-it detours into plodding brain-damaged garage rawk, incredibly blown-out death metal roars, loads of weird TV dialogue samples, a blurrcore version of the Ghostbusters theme, a bossa nova rendition of the "Imperial Death March" performed on Casios, and theremins, theremins, theremins. The songs all have a grungy no-fi recording quality that just makes this sound so much crazier, and we're reminded more than once of the weird garage grind of Japan's CSSO while listening to this. The record ends with a retardo-psych version of the Dr Who theme that's actually pretty fucking amazing. Released in a hand-numbered edition of three hundred copies, this is a must for fans of Sore Throat, CSSO, and Anal Cunt.
