Första spelningen

2011-09-29T13:23:00.000-07:00

Då var första spelningen spikad. Oklart hur laguppställningen ser ut än så länge pga avhoppande Stefan, men spela ska vi. Lite dyrt kan man tycka men det är inget vi kan göra nåt åt tyvärr. Att Bankiren ligger i Västerås kanske ska nämnas också.

Reviews from MRR & Doomsday

2011-08-24T05:28:00.000-07:00

Maximum Rocknroll

Doomsday

Rårens, vevmangel, slaktrens. Västeråsarna uppfinner inte hjulet igen men de restaurerar det gamla, skeva aset dom hittade i gränden bakom Arvid's Cykel & Moped. Dom ärar arvet efter (framför allt) Krigshot, Mob 47, tidiga Rövsvett och Dropdead. Jag gillar det här, vad finns att inte gilla förresten, det är så här entaktsmangel ska låta. Argt, snabbt, lite slöa partier ibland och onyanserat tokvrål som ibland briljerar med vad som av vissa kan uppfattas som en antydan till ”sångmelodi”. Gillar speciellt titelspåret Strålande 'Tider' (refrängriffet påminner om något), 'Sagor som fakta', 'Ingen bra idé' (hör jag inte en millisekund till Asta Kask-hyllning där på sången) och 4-pannan 'Jag vill inte ha'. Texterna är raka och direkta i sann Krigshot och Mob 47-tradition. Slaktrens gör inte ett enda fel, entaktsmangel ska låta så här. Extra plus för det medföljande klistermärket föreställande en gammal vevmangel. Vänner av vev, KÖP!

Another review

2011-06-02T05:01:00.000-07:00

I don't know what this means but it got 5/5 so i guess it's a good review. From periferia.cz

"Úskoky a krycími manévry jsem nedávno získal Krigshot - Maktmissbrukare LP. Včera na něj na gramci došla řada. Hned potom jsem vytáhnul z obalu debutní desku od Slaktrens. Málem jsem nepoznal rozdíl!

Už při poslechnu jejich sedmipalce (jo ten s ledníma medvědama) mě chlapci uzemnili. Ale co si dovolili za drzost s touhle velkou deskou? Dvacet válů v nekompromisním tempu. Krigshot žije! Reinkarnoval se do podoby party mladejch bláznů, který vražděj ve Slaktrens. Nabroušená kytara, epileptickej řev a kulometný bicí. Basa? Nevim, nevnímal jsem. Texty v rodném jazyce. Nerozumim ani hovno. Crust core v nejvyšších otáčkách. Útok proudovýho Messerschmitta (Gripen je trapnej).

Vyšlo v nákladu pouze 500 ks, z čehož polovina je na úchylným růžovým vinylu. A k tomu ještě limitovaná edice s textilním přebalem, ze kterýho si můžeš vystřihnout nášivku. Takže všichni, který se pyšněj nášivkama Krigshot, Mob 47 nebo Protes Bengt ... vyndejte svoje Visa karty a povinně sháníme!"

First review

2011-05-28T04:17:00.000-07:00

from My Last Chapter:

Hehe, a pink vinyl... It’s not often bands/labels choose to press a pink vinyl, but I most definitely like it. After a demo, an EP and six tracks on a comp LP (I think that’s about it) we have Slaktrens’ maxi LP to blast our speakers with, released by a collaboration of DIY labels. I say maxi LP since the 20 tracks are over in 16 minutes, which doesn’t make it a fullength, as some might think ‘cause of the format. And it’s 20 tracks that sure do go by in a hurry, as I’m pretty sure most of you’ve already figured out.
One of the first things I noticed here was the change in guitar sound, and it no longer reeks of Protes Bengt worship in that department. In fact, as soon as Civilisationens framfart gets going I think Kurbits I.R, a band that pops up during a lot of other tracks as well, like for instance Från mardröm till verklighet. And let me tell you; I love Kurbits I.R, so that’s definitely a big plus in my book. But the band that feels most relevant is still Krigshot, which of course means there’s also a big Mob 47 influence after all. This is frenetically mangling hardcorepunk. It’s fast and it’s fast, most of the time going by in a hurricane of distorted riffs, hammering drums and cord-shredding screams. But they actually do have some cool riffs to be detected, like for instance Sagor som fakta (which has a really cool melody just before the insanity begins) and Gudarna måste vara tokiga (which has catchy riffs all through it, but that gets even wickeder during the chorus). While the melody mentioned in the former of the two songs feels reminiscent I can’t place it, but once Strålande tider began I thought ‘hey, I know that riff’. And it took me about 30 seconds to figure it out; Disdaniel, a one-man band that released a demo in the late 90ies or something. It reminds me a whole lot of that guy’s Överpunkare track, but since my tape-deck is busted I can’t give it a listen to be really certain.
Anyways, there are tons of references to be made, but it’d feel really redundant to make even more since I’m quite certain you’ve already figured out Slaktrens’ sound by now. It’s catchy, energetic-as-fuck and most of all a real bloody bulldozer of mangle, definitely a step-up from the Ur balans 7”. It was still a two-man act for this recording, but they’ve since filled the ranks with a bassist and a new drummer, leaving Johan to concentrate only on the vocals. I wonder if that’ll change their sound in any way or if it’s just meant as a way to play live. Oh well, seeing them live would surely be a blast, at least if they manage to deliver the same intensity as the frenzied music deserves.

Review from SFL

2011-02-08T12:41:00.000-08:00

I just got the new issue of Short Fast & Loud and found a review of our 7":

"This fucker, which was recorded by only two guys, is nothing but a complete mayhem done the Swedish way. Near to an almost utmost flawlessness, this piece of annihilation delivers only ultra fast, chainsaw guitar driven as well as overpowering rawpunk with hoarse screaming vocals. I'm not joking; these fifteen tracks are the (!!!) perfect example of what would happen if one member each of MOB 47, KRIGSHOT and MASSGRAV were locked in a studio and forced to unleash one of the most brutal old school records out of Sweden ever. Yuck, these cats really succeeded and therefor "Ur balans" (="Off balance") is the motherfucking shit, but sadly only 500 (hand numbered) copies on clear red vinyl exist. Get this unrelenting beast at any cost!"

Skippers Corner will do a limited edition cassette release of the new recording. I'm also talking to another label about a CD version, but i don't think that's 100% decided yet so more about that soon.

And we still need help from at least one more label for the 12". Get in touch if you're interested!

Because Myspace is shit, and old school websites is not as easy to do as this, we moved here. This thing is still under construction so new stuff will pop up every now and then i guess..

The mp3 player has now been loaded with all the songs from the Ur balans 7" and more songs will be added soon.

Went to a gig with Sir Reg yesterday by the way. Great band! Check them out if you're into the irish punkrock thing.

Now i'm gonna listen to some Dropdead records, have another beer and get this blog finished.

Cheers!
