Nyctophobic – War Criminal Views (Fat Ass records)

You probably all have already noticed how vinyl format gradually regains its former place. It has turned into a kind of plague (in a good way), a lot of young fans buy vinyl more and more, and people just get acquainted with analog sound again. In the light of these events labels began to republish quite a lot number of significant albums and also explicit shit was edited in abound, ahah). But about good old Germans Nyctophobic for some reason no one has remembered. And only now their debut album came out on this remarkable format. What can I say, this edition looks really impressive, I would even say - monstrously (the theme of the Vietnamese war is fully disclosed here). Separately, the presence of different color variantions of this LP is worthy of attention, as well as a nice bonus for me was a poster inside of it. Perhaps many of us will say that this gang is not full of diversities, speed, etc., but personally I like it. I can not say that the War Criminal Views album can be listened every day, but this work can rightly be considered as one of the powerful bricks in the foundation of the German grindcore history. Medium rhythms, raw sound and unstoppable German obstinacy. This album is like a big ram that hits time after time in a big and strong gate. I wouldn't lie if I mention that there is a complete accordance between the lyrics, the visual range and the music itself - everything is thoroughly filled with the spirit of the good old grindcore.
