REVIEWS :

Over an hour of stark grinding mayhem compiled by the fine gentleman who writes the Onslaught column in Music From The Empty Quarter, and damn fine most of it is too. Some of the names present will already be top of your list of favourite noise-mongers: Controlled Bleeding (who also appear in their Fat Hacker and Joined at the Head guises, greedy bastards), God, Techno-Animal, Painkiller and New Mind. Others, such as Jouissance and the wonderful Multicide may be unfamiliar to you, but not for long. I could probably live without the slightly more normal hardcore thrashings of Nottingham's finest Fudge Tunnel, Force Fed and Meatfly, but since that city is where this was compiled their presence is understandable. On the whole though, Spreading the Virus will find a home wherever the sheer terror of noise is welcome. Good one!
