Nemški Costa's Cake House so mi s svojim prvim ''self titled'' mCD-jem ostali v spominu kot soliden metaliziran hardcore z brutalnimi grinderskimi izpadi, ter dvema bass kitarama. No, ko sem jih poleti gledal na Fluff Festu so zveneli drugače, dosti bolj melodično in vsekakor zanimivejše, čeprav spet ne tako zelo drugače, da bi jih imel v očeh kot popolnoma novi bend. Ja, grindcora iz preteklosti se še vedno niso popolnoma otresli, je pa res, da se s to plato (vsaj kar se agresivnosti tiče) ozirajo bolj po blackmetalu, pa čeprav spet ne v tistem klasičnem smislu. Vseč so mi zlasti mirnejši predeli, kjer pridata obe basovki do pravega izraza, kitarist pa pokaže svojevrstne prijeme. Dva komada sta celo inštrumentalna in imata polek ostalih inštrumentov še pomoč klavirja, violine, pihal, itd., kar pričara na koncu prav čudovito stvaritev. No, po glasbi bi jih takoj spoznal za namce (spominjajo na starejše nemške metalcore bende), ampak drugače so Costa's Cake House precej originalen bend, ki ve kako delat zanimivo glasbo. Besedila so vsa v nemščini, ovitek pa je iz finega papirja, zelenkastih barv, opremljenim s kirurškim orodjem. Dobra plata...tipi so postali meldični, brez da bi pri tem izgubili brutalnost in agresivnost iz preteklosti.

MUSIC: LYRICS
Costa's cake house...pretty strange name if you ask me. On first sight a typical German brutality in the vain of Morser, Systral, The Circle of dead Children...but when you take a little more time you realize it's not really that heavy as it seemd on first sight. Ok, maybe some of the song sound like the bands mentioned above, but that's just because of the German sound, otherwise it's pretty different. Music is psychedelic and it has lots of harmonic parts, some parts sounds even nimble and funny, but mostly prevail apocalyptic riffs. Bass guitar is in the foreground...of course, they have two bass players! I really like their lyrics part where they nicely shows their criticism towards society.

COSTA'S CAKE HOUSE

Brutal attack from Germany. Two bass players, high screaming/ low scary growling all twisting with grind madness and psychedelic parts. Crazy but really nice guys!

Tipe po dolgem času spet gledam, tokrat na Fluff Festu in moram reči da se glasbeno precej spremenili...prej so bili brutalneži, sedaj so bolj melodični a še vedno prisegajo na metal! Mah, men še zmiri zažigajo! Češka 03/08/2003
