To put it bluntly, the current grind scene has become increasingly bland due to over-saturation and an almost complete lack of innovation. Today’s bands are finding it much easier to ride on the coat tails of their predecessors, rather than giving the genre a much-needed shot of adrenaline straight into its heart. The fact that there is so much hype surrounding these «neo-grind» outfits is nearly incomprehensible, and it saddens me to think that an entire generation of misguided youth is actually embracing bands like Gorerotted and Cattle Decapitation with the same fervor that supported Terrorizer and Carcass throughout their early 90’s heyday.

However, there are some currently active bands that seem poised to save the scene from nauseating mediocrity, one of which is Brazil’s Hutt. While not stunningly unique or innovative, this band’s debut release puts them considerably ahead of their peers. With «Miseravel», Hutt shows itself to be a powerful, forward-thinking musical unit with a strong sense of maturity in terms of songwriting and instrumental proficiency. While most bands that possess these qualities end up inadvertently hampering their aggressive nature, such is not the case with this Sao Paulo-based quartet. Each of these ten tracks stings the listener like the crack of a bullwhip across bare flesh. Few surpass one minute in length, which seems ideal in light of the fact that Hutt draws much of its inspiration from the likes of Pig Destroyer, Assuck, and Nasum. To prolong any of these songs would mean lessening their impact, which would be tantamount to sacrilege.
