Gaza - No Absolutes In Human Suffering LP
GAZA (Utah, USA) - No Absolutes In Human Suffering (2012) sealed LP copy; Transparent Gold vinyl (Deathwish Inc. exclusive colour variant limited to 800 copies). On the Salt Lake City, Utah, Grindcore band's third (and best album), the sounds are as intensely amped as vocalist Jon Parkin's colourful, politically charged lyrics. The 11-song collection was produced by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou, who gives GAZA's warped blend of Grind, Hardcore, and Crust a dense, sturdy feel. Amid all this chaos, though, there's calm. Amid the anger and bile, a discernable beauty. GAZA are a rare band in this way - an uncompromising group that should appeal to folks who don't usually stock Grindcore in their music collection, all without trying, in the least, to win them over. **originally published on pitchfork.com** Black Market Activities – BMA047
