Gruuthaagy review at the time:"Leigh Julian is one of long time GRUUTHAAGY listeners and when he offered me CDR release for his SMELL THE STENCH label. I just had finished "HELL RISING DISTORT CULT" demo looking for someone to put it out. Also I have found old 2001 recordings done with my crusty punk/metal friends here in Pozega and of course sent it all to him. Igor once again gave his hand with doing very good cover lay out using my art work that he is collecting. 2001 recordingsare so far the only GRUUTHAAGY stuff with all classis rock instruments used. Guitar, bass, drums, voice, it's all here. Music is improvised, slow guitar drones, solo bass lines, deliberetely chaotic drumming and crazed and very odd vocals, with some out of nowhere melodies, all creating very trippy ritualistic atmosphere. Like black mass on drugs, it is evil and funny at the same time. For all punks and crusties outhere it may be interesting to know that line up for this session is made of some of the Pozega's most notorius bands members (LOS PRIMJER, SPROVOD, DISLIKE, SENSELESS, BAD JUSTICE / NEPRAVDA, APATRIDI, STARVATION, FIGHT BACK, etc...), and to be honest they have gave some realy decadent, schizoid feel to GRUUTHAAGY.Cheers to them but after this comes a very different "HELL RISING DISTORT CULT" demo and it's done all by me. Sort of d-takt cybercrust Goat assault, bulldozing techno punk grinder with inhuman growling and lot's of samples (some provided by Igor). One croatian punk told me that this is reminding him on DISCHARGE, well nice one, it's just that this is all digitaly hardcored noise, done with naked sarcasm when using samples and refferences to present "war against terrorism" insanity. I guess i kinda missed playing with my old bands (I am still in FIGHT BACK, but not being very active lately), so I just had to do more experimental GRUUTHAAGY vision of how crust may sound today (as opposed to modern emo crust bands that all sounds quite the same to me).Anyway, SMELL THE STENCH realy did a great job in spreading this CDR around and I get some realy nice feedback, especially for the "HELL RISING DISTORT CULT" part. Poor crusties playing experimental noise, and crust inspired cheap electronics-is this chaos or what?"
