Album Review - The Persecuting Society EP by Human Cull

The concept of grindcore is to play really hard really fast. And to counteract the traditional short song lengths, many bands in the scene just add more tracks to the album. This is gladly received, however releasing a 6-track grind EP seems utterly pointless, especially given that half of the tracks don't even reach a minute long with all of them being under two minutes.

Not only that, but the music itself is amazingly average. By all means not bad but never reaching anything merely interesting. However, there is one track, Will to Submission, which acts as the stand-out but ironically is the least grindcore of the lot, touching on a slower doom/sludge approach. 

With the music being entirely irrelevant and it's sheer length, or 'short-th' so to speak, Human Cull have won the award for Most Pointless Release of the Year So Far.     5/10
