Source of Hatred by Mesrine! I recently snagged this cassette from Death by Digital although it was originally released by D7i. This is a “new to me” label and the only other tape I have released by them is an un-named EP by Ear Maggot. Still, both of these tapes are top quality and I can go out on a limb and assume there is much more to be found by this label.
Mesrine are an older band and I remember listening to them when I was a teen. The sound has pretty much stayed the same but the production quality is a lot more hi-res. Other than that not much has changed with Mesrine.
Mesrine are an old-school grind/death grind style band with very obvious thrash elements. I don’t know a hell of a lot about Mesrine other than the fact that they are Canadian. After a brief search I found out that they hail from Quebec City—a place that is well known for some pretty decent grind.
The grinding is pretty standard and there are many bands that have a similar sound but Mesrine has been at it for a long time and they are well deserving of the so called “pat on the back”. Their output has been almost constant and although this is the only album I own from the band I will without question snag more from these guys if it becomes available in the future.
Although this is not one of my favourites from my recent tape haul it is still “a hell of a lot more than decent” and I would suggest this to anyone looking for those old-school vibes! -Devin J. Meaney
