GOUGE
'Doomed To Death'
(Hells Headbangers)
Gouge aren't fuckin' around and give you four rather short,
yet ultimately to the point, songs that will most certainly grab you
by the throat, cutting it wide open, all while a maniacal grin is
dancing on your face, with your mind cheering on the thought that IT
IS actually still possible for a new and previously unknown band to
deliver the goods the way these Norwegians do. Kudos to them for
succeeding to achieve that raw, manic, energy-boosting "band
thrashing live in the flesh" vibe on 'Doomed To Death',
which is made even more impressive by the fact that Gouge are
only a two-piece band. This is some godly stuff - simple, catchy and
genuinely Underground, with no pretensions or unnecessary
pseudo-intellectual "revelations" as its main vehicle.
Tell you what - I'm laying off listening to Terrorizer and Repulsion for couple of weeks, betting on this EP's nine
minutes to give me the same kind of fix when needed. Sounds game to
me. [8]
