Feastem - Graveyard Earth (2020)

Feastem are back with another album, seven years after the previous one (which I reviewed at the time HERE), and if you're in need of a fresh dose of fast and modern grind, Graveyard Earth would be a fine pick.

Feastem - Avaritia humanae (2013)

After their very good album World delirium in 2011 and their split with Kill the client last year, Feastem, from Finland, are back with a new album called Avaritia humanae. and be reassured they haven't slowed down a bit. their grindpunk is still foot to the floor from start to finish (or finnish!). don't expect no sludgy, noisy slow parts on this album it's all the way straight to your face with agressive and dynamic riffing, fast singing with an effective flow and relentless very fast drumming (fast d-beat and blast beats). maybe some would complain it's a bit too clean sounding and too straightforward with some craziness missing. hum, well, maybe, but on the other hand the songwriting and production did a good job in going straight to the point and leaving away all the fat and useless. just take it for what it is and I'm sure you'll agree it's a very effective and pleasing delivery of merciless grindpunk speed beating. 

check it on their Bandcamp.

Kill the client / Feastem split (2012)

Kill the client and Feastem are releasing a split 12'' vinyl record on the occasion of their common european tour. two really cool grindcore band so I expected quality...and wasn't disappointed. With eight track each they confirms the good opinion I had about them.
Kill the client is quite well known, they are masters at producing a really intense and dense grind (and Brian Fajardo behind is no stranger to it with his usual breath taking relentless and precise drumming).

Feastem from finland are less known but attracted some deserved attention with their latest record called World delirium. what they plays is a ferocious grind, less dense than Kill the client, but that does not means it's less good. just it's more punk / hardcore oriented, more old school grind.

with two bands like that it's no surprise that this split is among the best grind split of the year.
