ALIENATION MENTAL "Psychopathicolorspectrum" (Khaaranus Productions, 2004)

A NEW FACE OF OLD GRINDCORE BAND. THERE IS NOTHING REMAINS THE SAME SO AS THE SOUND OF ALIENATION MENTAL. THERE ARE WHOLE NEW DIRECTION OF THE SOUND. ... FORGET ABOUT GRINDCORE ... IT'S NEO BRUTAL HARDCORE WITH BRUTAL VOCAL LINES, JAZZ SONG STRUCTURES AND DEATH METAL BLASTS. I DON'T THINK THAT THIS WILL SATISFY OLD FANS OF ALIENATION MENTAL... THIS RECORD WAS CREATED FOR WIDE RAGE OF METAL FANS ... NOT ONLY GRINDCORE-FANS

THE MAIN REASON OF THIS REVIEWS IS "ITS NOT THAT ALIENATION MENTAL IS PLAYING NOW" AND HOW WE DISLIKE OR LIKE NEW HARDCORE SOUND. ITS WHAT WE WANT FROM THIS BAND TO HEAR. IN THE PAST THEY BLOWS US AND MOST OF GRINDCORE FREAKS WITH OVERWHELMING BRUTAL GRINDCORE SOUND AND "ALIENATION MENTAL" HAS QUICKLY BECOMES A GRINDCORE ANTHEM. AS FAR AS NEWS ABOUT RECORDING A NEW ALBUM GOES, THE GRINDCORE FREAKS DREAMS ABOUT FURIOUS GRINDCORE SOUNDS, WALLS OF BLAST BEATS ... UNFORTUNATELY THESE DREAMS WAS BRUTALLY KILLED IN 2004 ...

GRINDCOREFAN / TARAS BULBA

+ STILL BRUTAL SOUND
- THIS IS NOT A "VENERATION OF BIOLOGICAL KILLING MACHINE"
- NO GRINDCORE

The beginning of the ALIENATION MENTAL is dated in January 1997 when Pavel and Michal had founded this band. Later Jarda from the breaking trash/death metal MORT LAKE band joined us. The band MORT LAKE had this arrangements: Michal R. (guitar, vox), Jarda (drums), Michal K. (bass) and Honza (guitar). Nevertheless Jarda didn’t like their musical approach so he started to play with the idea of joining ALIENATION MENTAL. These two bands existed for a short while at the same time and even played together one concert. ALIENATION MENTAL had originally only two members: Pavel (guitar, vox) and Michal (drums). Jarda joined ALIENATION MENTAL in October 1997 on probation. MORT LAKE’s direction was totally different from what he and Michal wanted to play. Later on, Jarda became their drummer. Eventually MORT LAKE died. That time members of ALIENATION MENTAL were forced to solve a question of the singer. They published several ads asking for a reliable singer for a core – death – grind band. Unfortunately nobody was interested and the band started looking among friends. Pavel, the guitarist, the founder and the leading brain of the band, met with Beherit whom he knew from various events and concerts in a pub. He told him he was looking for a singer for his band and Milan „Beherit“ promised to come. After one rehearsal it was clear that Milan was the right one. Our first demo KOPFERKINGEL was born. It was olny first step to the underworld. Second step was in the 1999 when we recorded split CD with MALIGNANT TUMOR called VENERATION OF THE BIOLOGICAL KILLING MACHINE ALIENATION MENTAL was playing in this arrangement for 2 years. The new bass-guitarist in the band became an old friend Michal K. (ex-MORT LAKE). After a few rehearsals recorded AM 7” EP THE RESTRICTED CEREBRAL CAPACITY (split with INHUMATE). This split is in the way of fast and brutal grind. One year later Michal K. went to Ireland to find a job. New member is Mirek (POPPY SEED GRINDER). First full length CD BALL SPOUTER was born. The reviews are very good. Some ziners said that this material is the most brutal and the fastest in our country ever. We were on the 3 weeks euro tour with CEREBRAL TURBULENCY to support our CD BALL SPOUTER.

07/2002 was re-released first demo KOPFERKINGEL on the CD format (BURNING DOGMA RECORDS - usa). On this CD is also a bonus (the whole material THE RESTRICTED CEREBRAL CAPACITY)

Beginning of the year 2003, Michal left the band. He can accept the AM music direction any more. During the 2004 was released in USA our older materials and three live songs on one CD called FOUR YEARS... ...TIME FULL OF BRUTALITY. in the end of 2004 was released our second full lenght CD. 7 brand new songs are pure death grind with strong nu metal influences. PSYCHOPATHICOLORSPECTRUM was released in the middle of January 2005. In the end of January 2005 Pavel left the band. Petr Velecky joined AM after month. He was Followed in short time with Yarda Dohnal (guitarist of POPPY SEED GRINDER). In May we toured whole Europe. During 17 days we abused Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria. Yarda Dohnal left the band after short time. AM compose new material for new stuff...

Label History
Khaaranus productions

Those MC edition has been released by band itself for remained money from recording studio. The run of distro has been managed by drummer Michal. Due to huge enthusiasm and activity there was the money from traded/sold stuffs under gathering and saving by small and pure sums. Anyway, after two years of big care and hard work there was saved enough cash to release 500 copies of a CD and some things determinated to release the second Cerebral's album. This decision is possible to sign as main point of the beginning and running of Khaaranus prod. now not only as small pure distro but as starting label joining among already working colleagues as Obscene prod., Shindy prod., Epidemie rec., or Bizarre Leprous prod..
