extreme noise terror law of retaliation cd

i've been doing a lot of new records lately. i don't know why other than i just review what i'm listening too at the moment and this is it. well it's not new it's from 2008. sort of new. whatever. i'm a huge (ha ha) ent fan. i don't have all the splits and eps for no other reason than they've released too many to count. i only have the albums and a few eps and stuff. still i like them so shut up. ent started as a hc band that was influenced (i.e totally inspired) by discharge. listen to the raw noise demo and the early ent stuff. then they became more of a crust band. then they started going death metal. hearing ent do death metal is like hearing scott ian do hard rock. it sounds weird but in ent's case it worked in some weird way (as aposed to mr. ian's little abortion) now they're back with a crust album. first of all they got the late phil vane back on vocals. and you know who they got on drums? mick fucking harris! of napalm death! that's right. my drum hero. and it works. it really does. what we have is a crustcore (or whatever it's called stupid subsubsubsubgenres!) with blast beats. for me the drums are what set this apart from the entlike albums these guys have done in recent years like the raw noise and death dealers albums. without the blast beats this would sound just like them. that's not a bad thing but i wonder why those albums had to be made under different band names. the samples are weird. they start some songs with samples. they...work? sort of. also they do a tribute to s.o.d )who thy insulted on the first album) on the song screaming fucking mayhem. a downtooned intro to milk. how can you not love it! over all this is a fun crust record with earshaddering vocals. get this is you like your crust raw and...extremely noisy.

r.i.p phil vane

this is late but just a quick little r.i.p to phil vane of extrene noise terror. he died some weeks ago of unknown causes. sucks cause ent is a great band. another dead punk star. sucks. i could do a huge writeup about everything phil did but let's let another blog do that. let's just listen to ent and remember what phil has meant to us. i'll say it when i heard about phil's passing i shed a tear. so let's bring out our old ent records and thrash. but in the middle of the thrashing just think about phil. anyway a more uplifting post is coming.
