Press Reviews
NARCOSIS ‘Heart Slows Down’ CD (Balowski)
I’ll be direct and tell it like it is.
Narcosis are the UK’s most exciting grind band.
So it can similarly be said about their cleverly
titled debut album ‘Heart Slows Down’.
There really isn’t much more to it than that.
Anyone who has borne witness to their live shows
or read about them in these very pages must by
now have had their appetites whetted. In fact,
there’s nothing more exciting in extreme music
than to find yourself being curious about a band
simply on hearsay. The great thing is that
Narcosis will meet your expectations.
Think mid period Napalm Death or even the mighty
Excruciating Terror. Then as the opener
‘If You Knew...’ kicks in and vocalist Peet gets
into his flow, there really is no turning back.
The thick sludgy sounds of the rhythm section
suck you right in, and a weird electronics
undertow drags you along on a current. The first
nine songs are short and tight but the long
closing ‘...With A Sickening Thud’ opens up more
options for the band allowing you to really
understand how the unit interact as musicians.
Narcosis are not a one liner band. They do seem
to take opportunities to interweave melodic
patterns within the brutalising grind, and the
monumental sound lets you pinpoint specific
elements. A fully absorbing and intense experience.

NARCOSIS 'Heart Slows Down'
The majority of the first side is crazy fast
grindcore, that brings in elements of bands like
Disrupt, Phobia and Brutal Truth. Vicious time
changes and raging vocals kick the listener down
a path of breathless destruction. This five piece
is from England and contains the singer from Hard
To Swallow (remember them?). One side of the Lp
contians five songs of total mayhem, while the
other side is one long drawn out crushing metal
number that almost seems out of place here. Well
wroth tracking this bad boy down for side one
alone!
