RUBUFASO MUKUFO was originally started by members of Cerebral Turbulency. They put out a few releases and I think split up around 2011. Earlier this year they reappeared with a new line-up. There’s not much information available but If I’m not mistaken then drummer Michal Cichý is the only remaining constant from the original line-up. One of the new members is no other than Bilos from Malignant Tumour on vocals who seemed to have regained some interest in the genre, which probably was due to their “goregrind gig” at Obscene Extreme festival that coincidentally happened around the same time. Let’s see if that interest is only a short-lived fashion... or not!?
I’m overall no big fan of the Czech bands style but this one is a heavy hitter! Great catchy riffs, no fuckin around with experimental genre breaking bullshit, just straightforward and fast paced shredding! The drumming is immediately recognizable and that’s one point when they sound little superior than your usual band. Bilos delivers some unique vocals here ranging from low grunts and yelling to pitch shifted pukes and distorted screams! For such kind of bands the production could always be a little more nasty for my taste but it’s still raw enough to enjoy!
RUBUFASO MUKUFO so far released this EP in digital form exclusively and I respect them for trying that route! Unfortunately people don’t seem to appreciate that move and so far I’m the only guy who went through with a purchase on their Bandcamp. But fuck people because they often got shitty elite opinions by judging a band on their release format, and instead rather buy a 3rd generation tape bootleg (on which a garbage truck first drove over). I hope the response so far doesn’t let them down too much because this is some promising shit!
