Lunatic Invasion - Destined To Die (1991)
Primitive grindcore from the late 80s/early 90s. Need I say more?Apparently I do as Napalm Death isn't being played on the radio anytime soon, let alone obscurities like this.
Lunatic Invasion do the whole punky grind shindig. There's some head-crushing riffage, especially in 'Nuclear War', and some fast as shit hardcore/grind sections. Vocally it sounds like a Caveman having his intestines mercilessly pulled out by Satan, pretty cool. When the drums aren't blasting at warp-speed they are either trudging through swampy riffs, or are violently punctuating the guitar work.
Patrick Stewart knows whats up. You wouldn't disagree with Captain Picard, would you?
Whats cool about the guitar playing is the variety of styles. There's the typical Napalm Death-'Celtic Frost meets hardcore'-grind style but there is also a butt load of hardcore riffs, along with the tried and tested Thrash'n'Frost guitar styles.
Lunatic Invasion are a perfect example of grindcore, From the hardcore riffs and beats, to the blastbeats and gruff vocals. Overall, they're precise enough to execute tempo changes and play some cool riffs, but at the same time, they've got that exuberant punk abandon that metal-grind lacks.
This is punk/metal at its finest.
