ACCION MUTANTE
DECADE OF DECAY
- the complete DIScography- CD

Accion Mutante This is a CD i'm really happy about, i have been enjoying the 1'st two Accion Mutante albums on mp3 for years now, none of my friends online seemed to be into them, until i ran across thier webpage i knew absolutly nothing about them and wasnt sure what labels they released with and all i could find on google was info on the movie Accion Mutante. Crimes Against Humanity gets props for putting together the CD that will finally shed some light on this fucking awesome band! this is a reverse discography of everything released till 2004 and it sounds great. This starts out with the newest recordings, the Ghetto Europa 10'' which i missed completely, Up The Metal Punx which i only heard a couple times until this CD, a split 7'' which i also missed, a bunch of compilation tracks i also missed one of which was even taken from a Cassette comp and still sounds great, then there is the 2 7''s that got me interested in this band and held that interest for over 5 years now. The newer tracks are more grindcore styled now wheras this started out a very crust sounding band, after thier 1'st album the low grindcore voice was brought in and remained ever since. I find Rossi's voice has become alot uglier also, though still similar to old recordings it has become alot rougher. There is a bonus track on here that at first i didnt recognize even though its a song drilled into my brain from countless listens in its original form, what is this track? Fuck Authority by GG Fucking Allin! this is probly one of the last things i ever expected on a sociopolitical type CD because GG was a total deviant.

 




The vocals are low growls that remind me of Sam Biles from Hideous Mangleus or the low voice of IRF, the mid voice is rough hardcore punk yells, the voices are mixed well and its deffinately a dual vocal band. After the 1'st 7'' the band tunred alot heavier and since has kept progressing into a heavier sound. The first 7'' is my favorite still and probly always will be even though its not as heavy, still i cant say i have anything bad to say about any of thier material and this CD rocks from start to finish. The music style is all basic and overall its midpaced to fast, there are some leads and solos and they work well and arent long or obnoxious, aside from that its pretty much straight forward crust/grind withought any frills, there arent a bunch of breakdowns or paning fx and it really doesnt need it. This band was supposed to do a split 7'' with Extinction of Mankind but that never happened, to date the only split album has been with Basalt, everything else has been solo or compilation material. 73 fucking minutes, i didnt realise it was actually this long... i have no problems sitting through this whole CD and its not often i feel like listening to 73 minutes of anything, this stays in my personal collection.... This CD booklet has the bands biography starting back in 1995 up until this CD, also there is a fucking shitload of band photos collaged, plus all the album covers from everything they appeared on at a viewable size and if thats not enough, lyrics to all albums and compilations, this is awesome its everything a discography CD should be.
