Full Length Review: FilthXCollins "Primate Violence" (Eggy Tapes) by Devin J. Meaney

Band: FilthXCollins
Location: Nottingham
Country: UK
Genre: Grindcore
Full length: Primate Violence
Format: Cassette, digital
Label: Eggy Tapes
Release date: May 3, 2024
After a few days of sickness I decided it was time to plop down and do some music writing. After some mild contemplation I brought myself to the YouTube search bar and typed in “Gore Grinder 2024”. After a brief search I came upon “Primate Violence” by FilthXCollins!
I have heard of FilthXCollins before—but it’s been a while since I listened to them. Not really remembering what they sounded like I didn’t know what I was in for—but after invigorating my ears with their noises I can say this was a merry little blast of upbeat and blasting grindcore!
Featuring 17 (very) short tracks in just under 6 minutes I can say that I am impressed by how “full” this release sounds for how short it is. As for the musicianship everything is melded together to near perfection. The guitars are low and crunching ranging from blurr riffs to slams, the vocals vary from high to low gutturals and the drumming is as if the man behind the kit is a literal machine!
FilthXCollins hails from the UK and have been active since 2017. This is their newest release. So go ahead…listen to it! -Devin J. Meaney
