Tainted as one of Iceland’s harshest noisecore outfits,
Minus have begun filtering in a few progressive tangents
to further their ruthless sonic assault. Due to their
brusque intensity, however, those components remotely
arty or cerebral are subject to being ripped to shreds
like everything else in their path. While Minus quote
from all the grand hedonists (Birthday Party, Godflesh,
and on down), and conjure a few of their own pranks (the
piercing electronic squeals on “Mislo” are immediate ear
death), anticipating the band to break from its severe
form rarely occurs. Only the acoustic section in “Arctic
Exhibition” is a good opportunity to emerge from the
wreckage and head for cover. Even the black metal doom
mongers would find this disturbing. Definitely, not for
beginners.
