My Last Chapter om Med Segerrika Vapen

Instead of a CD-R this new demo got released the old fashioned way; on tape. But unlikeFemtekolonnare’s previous demos this one actually has a label behind it. This is the band’s third release in less than a year, so we’re undoubtedly dealing with bloody productive guys. Judging from these four tracks I can definitely state that the quality doesn’t suffer from it, which I of course love. But what I don’t love is the fact that the tape cover is smeared with blood. I suppose it’s just another kick by their funny bone, sort of making fun of the whole depressive black metal scene, but I still find it somewhat revolting.

Nonetheless this is the band’s strongest material to date. It feels a bit like they’ve taken a step towards more pure grind, and I think the opening track, Man blir så jävla trött, might be their fastest one (I’m too lazy to actually check, so it’s an uneducated guess). It blasts like freakin’ crazy, and it’s ridiculously intense. But they don’t lose touch of their hardcorepunk roots, and the slower parts of the first three tracks reek of old school crust. The second half of Tafatta snutkukar reminds me a whole lot of older Diskonto recordings, and it strikes me thatFemtekolonnare do carry some similar attributes to said band. I don’t know whether or not to label it fastcore, powerviolence or grindcore, it feels like Med segerrika vapen is all of the above. They slickly mix and match from all kinds of genres, grinding it to bits in their own brand of frenzied mangle. 

Flipping the tape over you’ll find the act’s longest track to date, clocking in at just over two minutes. They’ve only got four or five other songs altogether that even make it to one minute, soCalle konung & co definitely wins the race. After half a minute they take a break from their usual blasting and go for a slow and sludgy ride, dooming for a while before the rage continues. They’re not afraid of sprucing things up, they’re certainly not afraid of incorporating genres you wouldn’t except, and they deliver it with such compelling conviction you’ve got no choice but to surrender to the almighty force that is Femtekolonnare.
