Only a few months after the release of In vino veritas Femtekolonnare released their new demo; Valguiden. About a month before the Swedish parliament election it was unleashed, and it contains eight tracks, all dedicated to the political parties that was in question. Reading the lyrics it’s clear the rage haven’t dissipated, and upon pressing play I can tell you the music hasn’t changed all that much either.
One thing’s for sure, the sound’s much harsher, giving them a rougher and dirtier approach, which actually gives me an eastern/southern European grindcore flavour. The recipe for success is still blasting punky goodness, mixing fastcore, powerviolence, crust and grindcore. While it’s mainly blasting like crazy, they do offer lots of variety in the ways of drum patterns, tempo changes and such. Just as they’ll suddenly throw in a classic hardcore breakdown (as in Nya arbetarpartiet), and the first verse of Sossarna just reek of old school hardcorepunk from back in the days, all except the vocals that is. Two high-pitched squealing guys share the screaming duties, and it’s done in such a hurry and frenzy it injects a buttload of intensity, and the lyrics are so maniacally delivered it’s spot-on impossible to keep up if you’re not holding the lyrics in front of you. It doesn’t always help to have the lyrics, you’ll still get lost in the insane tempo. What I also noticed in the previously mentioned Sossarna is the hint of Eddie Meduza towards the end. I’ve never gotten the Meduza hype, but I at least managed to identify that.
Each and every political party represented gets a real booting, right or left winged. It seems these lads are pissed about just everything, hating just about anything. And all lyrics are written in the same cynical and sarcastic manner. It works well with the raging music. It’s fast, blasting, raw, energetic, intense, adrenaline-inducing hardcorepunk.
