0.0 emester | January 31st 18

Whereas the new FoH record was like stepping in a dog turd on a hot summer day, this facefucker of a modern PV record feels like stomping on serrated glass and proceeding to grind the shards deeper and deeper. Y'know, how this sort of stuff should sound

4.0 excellentAlabaster Jones | March 1st 17

Nothing quite like a sludgy, dirty powerviolence record, is there? Friendship, a band barely out of its own infancy from Japan, put out a couple of EP's that were shrouded in the underground. Yet, after becoming a part of the Sentient Ruin record label, this convenient compilation gathers them both and allows them to be heard on a larger scale. And it would be a shame if it wasn't that way, because this is some truly excellent stuff. It forms a marriage between totally unhinged powerviolence that riffs just as hard as it blasts, and murky sludge that pounds the parts of the listener that aren't already shredded into dust. The production is near-perfect, giving everything a massive punch but allowing the listener to clearly differentiate instruments during the chaos. It's remarkably well made for being so overlooked, and lord knows if the group releases a full-length of this stuff in the future it's going to be hard to deny them. For now, though, I&II absolutely rips.
