FUCK THE FACTS - Abandoned

Canada's freakiest progressive grind band are back, here with a quick and dirty three-song EP. Tempting to say Fuck The Facts are a great EP band, because it's true, but they're also a great full-length band... so, yup, great band all around, and here we get three more varied takes on grindcore. Opener "Endless Emptiness" starts off with great building grind dynamics before launching into a sort of ill-advised power metal part that sounds more parody than anything. Then into the slow Ebullition Records emo part... I tell ya, no one hops around in grind like this band. Killer tune, then it's on to EP highlight "Disabused," before you even realize a new song has begun, and it's a jittery Relapse-ian run through technical grind, with a big half-time groove flirting with the listener's sanity throughout. Closer "L'impasse"'s revisits the opening tune's stutter-stop riff while adding in loads of sludge-y double-bass slow-mo pounding. And it builds and builds and then it's all over, one more cool release to add to this band's growing discography.
