CO2 are the grindcore specialists and the audio terrorists come to destroy all competition. D.O.D. is the excellent album we've all been waiting for.
Favorite track: Need For Limited Loss.
Selfmadegod Records welcomes Polish/Italian grindcore/thrash/crossover faction CAMERA OBSCURA TWO – with current and former members of Schizo, Cripple Bastards, Hour Of Penance, Novembre, The Foreshadowing, Pestem and many others – and presents the band’s debut album, D.Ö.D.
CAMERA OBSCURA TWO (or CO2) is led by Alberto Penzin, formerly of Italian thrash legends Schizo, on four-string bass, joined by Giulio The Bastard (Cripple Bastards) on vocals, Andrea Ragusa (Pestem, Mass Turbo) on five-string bass, Marco Mastrobuono (Hour Of Penance, Inno) on guitars, and Giuseppe Orlando (Novembre, Catacomb, Inno) on drums.
Following their 2019 split 7″ EP with Schizo, CO2’s D.Ö.D. was tracked in Italy by M. Mastrobuono and G. Orlando at Kick Recording and Outer Sound Studios with additional tracking by Carlo Altobelli and Graziano Manuele at Toxic Basement Studios / Ueickap Studio, and with additional guitar and bass tracked in Poland by Haldor Grunberg at MAQ Records / Satanic Audio, plus additional drum parts recorded by Wilfred Ho in Hong Kong. The record was mixed and mastered by Mastrobuono and Orlando at Kick Recording Studio and completed with illustrations and cover design by Szymon Siech. Two of the tracks were originally written and performed by Schizo in the 1980s and 1990s, and the record features guest musicians Marco Montagna on additional lead guitars and Steven Fischer with additional effects and underground cinematics.
Fans of Discharge, Bulldozer, Nihilist, Hellhammer, Terrorizer, Repulsion, Killing Joke, and S.O.D. should not miss this one.
If this came through your feed, you're probably like "Way to go dumbass... You didn't have this shit already??" 😂🤣
I'll have you know I am buying this album once again (for like, what? the 4th time??) to pick up the new sick "sea blue gel" vinyl variant of this modern classic. Jfc Earache Records still knows how to grab my money, even after all these years haha. Have a feeling "Hiss" will be near the top of my Albums of the Decade list when all is said and done. What an absolute masterpiece. bcb723
This progressive/modern feel to grind kinda reminds me of older Fear Factory at times, then drives off in terrain more akin to Napalm Death. Really strong album. Bart
The grind masters return with bone crushing, face melting, ear shattering vehemence!!! They are why Finland is the happiest country on earth six years running!!!!! ;-) Oh, and Happy 30th Anniversary to the band!!! MERZILLA
