What a thunderbolt! I really didn't expect something like that. The description "Extreme Metal" fits perfectly to this kind of music, MINDGRINDER play. Because MINDGRINDER aren't just brutal ... no, they play with such an insane power, which blasts your brain out of your head. There're often really catchy parts and also rather long-lasting groovy moments! Everything's included in this CD.
Especially the mixture between mainly Death Metal elements and partly Black Metal influences make to hole thing even more extreme! And also the double-bass attacks improve everything, because they're that extreme, that you sometimes even forget the guitars, to just listen to the drums - and that's my first point of criticism here, because the guitars partly disappear, because of the drums, which stand too much in the foreground. But from time to time you get used to it and you'll learn to enjoy listening to the CD. Apart from that the songs sometimes sound too similar. But MINDGRINDER released an album, which is full of aggression, brutality and sickness. I recommend MindTech to everyone, who likes it sick and extreme and who wants to groove a little bit. MINDGRINDER made a good album, which isn't that varied, but very independent and fucking brutal!
