Failure is Not a Factory Installed Setting. (Failuretrace, Collection of Materials)

| |
Its no insider secret that South East Asia is up and coming in the Grindcore community, and amongst this new wave of cranial  crushing acts is Thailands very own angry Grinders Failure Trace.
I fucking love these guys, and so should you! Imagine S.O.B on a adrenaline pumped Grindcore shooting spree and you get a rough idea as to what sort of carnage this it. Musical technicalness has never been my forte, but the only way I can describe what the core essence of what they have, is the word bounce; they seem to have this omnipresent bounce in what they do, that give them  a energetic, fun and youthfulness to their strident punk orientated Grind.
The quality of the releases is something that is non-uniform and generally low quality, but gives you that feeling when you find a band who are amazing but not known enough or lack the funds to make the leap to better quality releases, which in turn has the effect you know that these guys haven't peaked their potential and leaves you fidgety wanting their next release.
Not only do these guys offer a fantastic  Grindcore ear bashing, but their message has elements of the European Zeitgeist climate about it, in the mass media the themes of Feminism and Abuse of Women has developed into a contemporary brennpunkt through a flooding of  Stieg Larsson books and films, and it is nice to see that the underground has not forgotten its roots on this topic, and were doing this well before the masses either got hold of the subject (again), and btw the films are killer, go watch them now after getting failure trace.
If its not enough that these guys have monstrous musical skills and a nice set of ideologies , but these guys don't take the piss, they take action, the track recorded at Bangkok International Expo  shows these guys aren't bitching about poverty behind glaring screens, they are out and about causing a racket, actions speak louder than words (take note self-styled punky Grind bands) Although in all fairness even if they played there to promote the mass extermination of all homeless people, I would still love what these guys do musically.
Confession Time: Failure Trace did send me all their material and plenty of info on them, which made this review a hell of a lot easier, but that has not biased my opinion of them, seriously check these guys out or forever be riddled with guilt!

Those vocals give me chills, fucking awesome music. We need to start reviewing and posting more up and coming sick bands like this, if they let us we should post their music for download too. Who doesn't love free downloads?!?

Yeah definatley, I love it when you help relatively unknown bands out, and everything is always better when it is free, I have a backlog of one band who have sent me their material I need to review (unless you want to do it) and hopefully more bands will be in touch.

they're just woefully inconsistent on the production side. if they could get a full album of decent sounding tunes together, they would set grindcore on fucking fire. that and lose the "faggot regime" song and we'll be all set.
My recent post G&ampP Review- Cloud Rat
Have you got their wholesome E.P as that I really enjoyed,and although I didn.t know which song was playing when I didn't care as it was a great listen with consistency, and as for the faggot regime, Having read what the band thoughts are, I think that it is more down to a failure of translation than a homophobic stand point, I am expect great things to come from these guys.

dear andrew and whole crews.

thank so much, for all the suggestion and the critics.
these reviews is a fuel to our fire and a fix to our sllips or mistakes.

those tracks were former releases and even un. upto demo and splits works.
everything is not well blended, but we putted our senses it in, not just grind.
grind is science to us, not just a blast beats.
we're on the work of 1 st. full length this year, and will forge the sound and the materials
most of our creation in recent. we will not say the best, cos if best, there's nothing to let it go further unless the same old releases and tunes.

about the 'faggot regime' (once again i'm in the doubts and conflicts that'd ever happened in 'wholesong ep' lyrics, and it was a topic to south-east asian scene.)

'faggot' i meant was faggotness or lacking of strength in thailand government to take a proper decision solving the problem or critical situation of the civil war that erupted
few months ago.
not 'faggot as homo-sexual oriented' yes it's implied naturally by the word itself.
but i do have no oppose or against these people. i'm neutral to them.

i will try to avoid these approaches of obscurity in my lyrics.
you know, i like to let people think about the track title yet to get into lyrics.
we prefer indirect and a reflection in communication, not just ( i killed your cat and eat )

our latest material we played in malaysia and singapore,
which's been uploaded in Myspace and here is the link to upload
http://www.mediafire.com/?c9b8ju257w69ycb

such as;

strings, strays, tech-no or tech-O, bushmeat please, wealthicide, chaos bkk,
vitually impaired, faggot regime, a new breed of pig.

like 'bush meat please' we mock the wild meat admirers, not us to order the dish :)

hope these could make something unveiled.

cheers

dear i jah,

we've decided to being open to the download and the online submission for reviews,
as we sent you guys.

even glad and rejoiced from a long struggle that some would be interested on it.
feel free to post them.

the 1st. and the last cd we'd ever sent in our earlier time, was our 1st. demo through postal mail to richard of his,
'disposable under ground' zine (ex-enemy soil, the present 'ANB' and 'drug of faith'
we didn't expect it would be event published, but years after i was, he sent us the reviewed
by JR hayes (pig destroyer) which puzzled us.

more than puzzled is the amazed of our 1st. live in 2003 picture was found and sent us by our japanses friend. in maximum rock n' roll zine.

the main problems of us were, having a serial-changing of line-up, and that halted our journey
periodically, the another one is we were not that active in promoting the band. just expressing
our point of views and tracks creation just only in myspace.

in early of 2010 whole line-up left the band, i told myself only death could stop my journey,
even i had ever decided to drums myself (there's a tracks in myspace)
but i re-collect myself, contact people. started the members search posted in every media.
then got this line-up. then i told myself, i will be the more active in communication and in promoting bands. i collected money and did malaysia and singapore tour.
and been open for posting tracks and sending to medias even with lower quality to let people know.

it's time to grind !

cheers

i see what you're saying but you're still using faggot as an insult and the only reason it would be an insult is if you're implying being gay is a bad thing. that still bothers me. but i'm looking forward to hearing more from failure trace.
