KRAPNEK demo 2008 review

KRAPNEK (France) – S/T
Demo Tape 2008 – Self released
8 tracks
Rated: 6,5/10
Can you give me the name of of grindcore band coming from France where the singer is a girl? This said I must admit that KRAPNEK is a pretty good band and even if their screamo-grindcore isn't the most innovative, it's played with guts and intensity and I like the filthy mood splattered in their tracks.
Their 8 short tracks have a crude sound but enough fury to let you think this band may be killer on stage if you dig grindcore in the vein of BRUTAL TRUTH and NAPALM DEATH, they are also quite close to their landmates of INFEST to give you an idea. Cécile's voice is mostly high screams (with sometimes some more guttural ones that are really amazing!) which reminds me Mel of FUCK THE FACTS, but Cécile's voice is even more higher, and KRAPNEK's music remains grindcore right to the point with no experiements and dissonances that can be heard on the Canadians' latest releases. Some slight touches of thrash and death are detected in some riffs but KRAPNEK stays faithful to the grindcore, so it's a really promising band. Let's wait their next release.
