The album comes housed on a paste on board heavy gatefold sleeves and pressed in high quality 180 gsm vinyl. That makes this records heavy and expensive.

Japans' best kept secret are back with a new album! Fronted by Kan of the legendary 80's punk-thrash act The
Asbestos, MONE¥I$GOD has been flooding the Japanese underground scene with sheer originality for over a decade
by practicing their perpetual belligerence and inimitable crossover between virulent sludge-doom, grim noise
rock and endless post punklatitudes .
M.A.R.K.Z kicks off with the tribal pummeling of "Cancer" and continues with the supposedly friendly "Murasaki", but
it's only a devious act of diversion before "Black Rainbow" smoothly barge in with a caustic ska rhythm section,
super-thick bassline, and above all, Kans' matchless gargling vocals that rumble throughout the entire album like a
decisive instigator. "Waltz" lashes right after as a scorching crescendo with its' perforating and frantic gradual guitar
parts and functions as a great build up for the epic "Hate Song" - a panegyric-like wayward track of unblemished
loathing for humanity. The doom-dubbed remix for "Black Rainbow" by Balata (David OPP & Finkelstein of
Lietterschpich fame) is the final aggressor that perfectly ends this veritable album of gashed hymns and surged
audacities.
Recommended if you like Killing Joke, Zeni Geva, LEWD, Pailhead, Arab on Radar, Christpunchers, Six Finger
Satellite, The EX, Nomeansno etc.

There are drums and a guitar; nothing more and nothing less, with no thick bass lines to be found. They aren’t missed too much, as the guitar is so loud that any bass work would have been drowned out in the mix. What is here on an instrumental level is solid. The riffs come without warning and don’t stay around long enough to get repetitive. Some of the songs do blend together, most notably with the shorter numbers placed back-to-back. Even in these moments, there is always a “longer” track to bring the album away from the dread.
Variety isn’t usually prevalent on grindcore albums and “Abuse” is no different. However, a few twists on the tempo garner some attention and help the album to stand out from countless others. “Murder” and “Lost Swines” dial things down a bit for a mid-paced vibe that does a great job of building up to the fury. An odd cover of Yeah Yeah Yeahs “Rich” is included to add a light-hearted spirit to the proceedings. These type of instances are outweighed by the brutal smack down of songs like “So Fierce For Fuck!?” and “Operation Grindcore.”
Grind lyrics have always been associated with social commentary, violence, and loathing towards humanity. Wormrot is three for three with the lyrics to “Abuse.” While the vocals are indecipherable – though the switch between harsh growls and hair-raising shrieks is pulled off magnificently – the words themselves have a lot of meaning to them. Sure, there are some hilarious songs (“Sledgehammer,” “Fuck…I’m Drunk!”), but “Exterminate” shows deeper thoughts about the harsh tendencies of society than the title may suggest.
“Abuse” is a great grindcore album that can stand alongside recent albums by Insect Warfare and Agoraphobic Nosebleed with pride. If you are a fan of the genre, “Abuse” is a necessary addition to the collection. They don’t do anything noteworthy compared to everybody else, but they are a young band that is brimming with energy and complete disregard for the laws of melody and structure.
