Kill A Celebrity – Grindslaughter
Demo – 2007
By Dan Fisher
"We despise the fucking pathetic, soulless, mindless, weak, shallow human wastes of flesh and bone we call celebrities; walking this earth with an undeserved air of achievement, superiority and adequacy as thery are worshipped by the overweight, passionless TV junkie fuckin' shitheads in America and across popular culture."
Kill A Celebrity are a Sydney-based three piece that play grindcore influenced by bands such as Pig Destroyer, Splitter, Nasum and Cephalic Carnage. The above quote is part of the band's rather admirable mission statement that charges us to try and rid the world of the Britneys and Hiltons who selfishly take other people's precious air. When listening to grindcore, I always find that the concept is alot more funny/serious (delete as appropriate) than the actual music which is, in fact, bollocks. Admittedly, there is something brilliant about a genre that is so blatantly uncommercial but therein lies the double-edged sword: The music does not inspire the changes that the mission statement projects. There are some notable bluesy touches in amongst the noise by guitarist Lachlan Dale that slightly softens the blow but overall I'm still left mystified as to who actually buys into this type of japery.

And I inferred from your review that you support the act of murdering celebrities... that's kinda strange dude, you know?
