So this band is great. An aurual assault of some excellent grind. Experimental enough to not be boring and technical enough to make you want to learn the songs. Extremely rutal most of the time and super tight. For 19 minutes, this EP is nuts. The riffs are constantly changing and shifting and just being all around fun to listen to. While some grind bands are honestly unlistenable because they're boring, BIGOTA are not. This is important because the songs are short and don't have time for the Opeth treatment (2 chords for 2 minutes). The audio samples used set a very interesting tone to the album by making you feel like you are at a show, even if it is some sort of political rally.

I need to point out the fact that there are only 8 actual songs where one is a Storm Troopers of Death cover and one is around 35 seconds long. For the others though, Get excited. Stand out tracks to me are A Lubricated Rubber Glove And Pornographic Photos Of A Decapitated Chinese Hooker, Last Words Can Be So Cliche and Fuck her Like you Paid For It. Those songs are all over the map. I would've added White Trash Whore but it's 49 seconds long, counting the audio sample intro. The technicality can be a little tough to understand and it is not by any means the most technical music but considering the speed and the riffs being played, you understand that these guys are really good at what they do, especially when they are as tight as they are.

There is a lot of traditional riffing (chugging and the root m2 double stops) but they are mixed in nicley with a lot of nice pops and squeals and slides. The timings are also frequently unsual, especially from one part to the next. If I could have them, I would ask for longer songs, maybe by combining a few songs into one and really traveling the spectrum. I don't mind short songs, but when on shuffle, I want more than a minute of this band. Songs like The Ugliest Smile in Rock and Roll sort of give an idea of the things I'd like to hear more of, with the strange almost avant garde break in the middle.

Good stuff from a band destined to do good things.

I lvoe long song titles. My band often names our songs before we write them (our lyrics are kind of a joke anyway). Example being - Death, Lies, Dinosaurs and Gamma Cannons

So I'm assuming this is the Ion Dissonance/Burnt by the Sun type of grind and not a gore band? Can't say I care much for the genre, but this was a great review. The song titles were amusing.

I saw a live Hellfest DVD once with The Locust playing live. I found it somewhat frightening, as al the fans were wearing cardboard wings and doing strange things in a pit. I always wonder how a band like that gets signed.

Yeah, I really don't like Gore grind usually cause the songs are really boring but this stuff is usually really technical and changes a ton.

It's really fun to listen to. Except the fillers are a little annoying.

What you say about TGRH is true. Examples...
"A Rhetorical Question: What Do Christian Kids Talk About? [Ex: ''God Is Awesome'' ''Totally!'']"
"Let's Fall In Love Over AIM So We Can Fuck When We Meet At Cornerstone"
"Pssst! Hey, The Lord Is Awesome. Pass It On"
