Fuck the Facts

Unnamed EP

BY Keith CarmanPublished Feb 22, 2010

Assuring that the wild, confrontational menace of last full-length Disgorge Mexico was no fluke, Ottawa, ON's ace discordant quartet Fuck The Facts display an even finer sense of chaos, delirious agitation and progressive agility on fourth EP Unnamed. A six-song barrage hammering away in just over 11 minutes, the intricacies involved with creating a churning groove that explodes into acerbic blast beats with a shockingly fetching overriding melody is almost as mind-numbing as the tunes themselves. Vocalist Mel Mongeon becomes even more uncontrollable and chilling with each growl, perfectly befitting the equivalent instrumentation. From Carcass-esque detuned squeals to black metal-worthy one-line speed riffs, a bass tone culled from the same pits of intimidation and bowel evacuation as VoiVod's Nothingface, and beats even those over-stimulated zombies from 28 Days Later would have trouble keeping pace with, Unnamed EP is maddeningly concise but amazingly abundant.
