Jesus Of Nazareth

2005 release  ** "Looking up Jesus of Nazareth's "The Shame of Being a Child", I found it oddly classified as grindcore.  I suppose some of the music has a disposition in common with such freaked out 'cyber grind' bands as Agoraphobic Nosebleed, but here guitars (usually the focus of the genre) are completely absent, replaced with excess distortion on the monkey-simple drum programming and numerous forboding samples and electronic sounds which come at the listener in a rapid fire barrage, one after another, to quite jarring effect. The production is rough and it doesn't sound like these are experienced electronic musicians; they quite possibly could have come from the metal arena, and the songs have remained short, as they typically are in grindcore...  The 20 sections of the title piece "The Shame of Being a Child" average at about 1 minute and a half.  The band has also included 3 unreleased tracks, and an excerpt of a live performance. Anyway, much of this album is audio terrorism, to be sure... pure negativity.  How much does one need of the stuff, and why is this necessary after all that has come before?  Luckily, for this album Jesus of Nazareth had a few original tricks up their sleeves.."
