Intifada is a grindcore album with a black metal twist. Released a few weeks ago by the newly created band Terra Morta, this album is a very short but intense album, as you could expect from a grindcore band.
Mixing crust punk, grindcore and some black metal rhythms, this album will match your needs of violence and let your anger out. The group members are not in their first experience as they played in other pieces such as One Day in Fukushima, Tsubo or Buffalo Grillz.
In this album, you will find a very few slower-paced moments, which leave some rest for your ears and mind, with a few instrumental tracks, and some melodic breaks which are more than welcome to keep some sense of time. I especially enjoy the continuity of the whole album which I listen to as a very long one-track grindcore album.
Politically speaking, there is no doubt of their strong pro-Palestine stance, with the very famous ‘intifada’ picture of a child throwing a rock at an armoured tank, the name ‘intifada’, and the lyrics. For example, the track “Cicatrisi” leaves no doubt with this (translated) lyrics “Black sky over the rooftops of Gaza / you breathe famine in the air / you breathe soot and sulfur / In the lungs of the street.”. But this is not all, as the other tracks deal with consumption, capitalism, nationalism or the destruction of our environment.
So if you enjoy blackened grind, if you already enjoyed some other Italian blackened grind bands such as The Secret or Hierophant, this album is for you!
