Artist: BEAST89
Album: My Double Middlefinger Face Punch To The
Earth
Year: 2008
As always, bands who have the shortest history and the
fewest referrences have the biggest and most vague
biography of them all. Beast89 clearly is one of them. A
one man project from The Netherlands, formed in 2006,
releasing their 2nd demo, simply called "My Double
Middlefinger Face Punch To The Earth". Since the other
pieces of the biography didn't really interest me, I
won't bore you with them either. Fact is that this
demo/EP is blessed with five tracks plus two bonus
tracks, which all together provides nearly 25 minutes of
music.
The release kicks off with an intro called '12 Billion
Middlefingers'. It consists of many disturbing sounds,
that could be taken straight out of various b-movies. 'Obey
The Serpent' is a little more melodic, with ambient
likely keylines and ditto programmed guitars. The gentle
programming takes care of the melodic part, while the
black metal likely vocals take care of a bit more
confusion within the track. 'Succubus (A Vampire
Serenade)' is more easy listening, with slow programming
works and cold keylines. 'Fashion Doll' is again a more
disturbing song, with lots of distortion and crazy
programming works. The only sort of recogniseable thing
in this track are the vocal lines. 'Sulfur' has a more
old school touch (at least if you can call this music
old school that is), with more bashing programming works
and some more experimental vocal lines. Next up comes a
demo version of 'Fashion Doll', which truely sounds like
a demo version of the original, and a single edit for 'Obey
The Serpent', as two bonus tracks for your hearing
pleasures.
Musically, Beast89 offers you nothing special. They mix
(industrial) black metal with all kinds of ambient, and
sometimes even a little bit cybergrind and noise(core).
However, if you don't take all of this music too
seriously, there might be something nice in here for you.
Ever wondered how it would sound if Claudio Simonetti
was a drinking grindcore fan?
