Captain Cleanoff - Rising terror (2015)

This grind album really takes you by storm! and you will like it!  Rising terror is the second album from Australia's Captain Cleanoff (although they formed in 1997). One hundred percent grindcore, old school (Napalm death comes to mind, not only because of the cover art) and uncompromising. Captain Cleanoff manages to sound at the same time very punk and old school grind and very fast and brutal. Riffs and rythms keep it simple but it's really not at the expense of the overall agressivity, it sounds enraged through and through. The raw and powerfull sound, the speed, and the very vicous vocals playing a large part in it. And at the same time the trash / punk riffing have a very direct, brutally "catchy" quality, making this all out grind assault very memorable and enjoyable. after the slower song at the end stops you fell a bit disoriented by silence a few seconds... and can't resist playing the album again! this album, released by the cool grind dealer Blastafuck is easily one of the grind highlight of the year. excellent stuff!

Captain Cleanoff / War of the second dragon 7'' split (2013)

Excellent split between two cool grind band.

the 3 songs by Captain Cleanoff from Australia are old school classic grind of the finest quality, and if you like early grind these songs sure will please you. one song is a Righteous pig cover (I told you it's good old school grind!).

the 3 other songs are by War of the second dragon, a new band formed around Shane Embury with other guys from Birmingham (England), including Fukpig's screamer. Shane is there from the beginning but the grindcore of his band sounds clearly the more modern of the split! but it's not so surpising since we know that he never lost touch with the evolutions of extreme music.
I think this split is the first release of the band and it's a great introduction. it's very intense, very fast, heavy, merciless and pissed off, with also some epic grooves.

in conclusion it's a highly recommended split, I played it many times and I'm waiting for the next releases of these two bands.
