"8/10 - Decibel Magazine
Even though these Washington, D.C. dudes have been sweating it out in basements, living rooms, scummy venues and modified washroom stalls masquerading as scummy venues since 2002, arguably their biggest promotional coup came courtesy of Scott Hull’s grinding powerviolence compilation This Comp Kills Fascists. It also helped that this coincided with a surprisingly substantial portion of the extreme music population (re)discovering its interest in those sub-genres.
Being the “Rules? What be they?” loose cannon sorts they are, what do Magrudergrind go and do on their second full-length, first for Willowtip? Of course, start incorporating a Swedish death metal feel and expanding the template! But it’s not like Swedish death metal has ever really gone out of vogue, so the churning, Dismember-ish dirge of “Bridge Burner,” “Lyrical Ammunition for Scene Warfare”s nod to death ‘n’ roll and “Excommunicated”s stroll down the left hand path just makes the already powerful trio sound all the more gritty and explosive, even without bass. The majority of the rest is still true to the powerviolence blueprint with lightning fast thrashcore (could something titled “Built to Blast” be anything less?) trading off with the feedback-drenched sludge in “The Protocols of Anti-Sound” and “The Price of Living by Delinquent Ideals” and an untitled hidden track featuring ominous electronic noise grafted onto samples of the last days at Jonestown, Guyana. They’re not all about upside-down smiles either; “Heavier Bombing” features a little Beastie Boys-style funk ‘n’ fratology and Trailer Park Boys samples always rule no matter what the context. It would seem that mixing things up is good for the soul and the whole.
