Vandal X - Instant Dislike
A long time ago I was confronted with Vandal X in my hometown. Back then they made an inerasable impression on me, because I�ve considered to buy their previous album entitled 13 Basic Hate Tracks a couple of times, until it was in the discount section. Now they bring me their new album; Instant Dislike.
 
This is a duo. A duo that makes a shitload of noise. On one hand there is a drummer, one that grooves like fuck. On the other hand there is a guy handling guitar and bass, both radically distorted, and most vocals (distorted as fuck) as well. What they do together is make the noisiest noise-rock �n� roll one has ever encounted. My problem with the first album was that the intensity of the live show wasn�t really captured on disc. This doesn�t seem to be the case with Instant Dislike, because it blows my fucking face of!
 
Like with the previous album there�s also a lot of weird intro-samples to the songs, the funniest one being a sort of tape used for learning new languages. This one is for English-Spanish I think, but the sentences being translated are �eat shit�, �eat shit and die�, �go fuck yourself� and other common insults. Hell, it puts a smile on my face.
 
The more I play this record, the more I like it. I even like the previous one better now although it is very obvious this new record is a whole lot nicer than that one. I�d suggest anyone with a weak for heavy distortion, noise rock and basically just music to piss you off, to check this out asap. These Belgians have some tricks up their sleeve and you�d better find out what they are before they smack your face in with it!
