Here’s what Kid (Kah-Roe-Shi) said about it:

Various Artists
Happy Little Creatures Compilation CD
(Third Arm Records)

Third Arm Records must be one of the most hardworking labels in our local scene right now. Being committed on releasing local bands, this time Third Arm had compiled 8 of their current and future roster with each of the bands presented with 1 or 2 unreleased songs in a neat transparent-sticker-wrapped digipack.

Well known for championing the modern hardcore/grindcore scene, Third Arm had been putting out great releases from Infinite Delay, Blood On Wedding and Devillica. Technical, odd music arrangement and maniacs screaming their hearts out. You know the drill, a beautiful chaotic mess.

But no, they’re not just all about that! You will be glad to know what kinda beast the emo violence forerunners Daighila had grown to be and to discover the underrated jazz-fused Lord Sunny Day.

Akta Angkasa are definitely one the bands with a notable space-rock track, but too bad that this is could be the last from them as they had broken up recently. Thats the same case for Devillica whom also followed suit. But I’m still not giving up hope and looking forward to be punished with more brutality from Nazark and Foliage. Could Foliage’s synth-driven chaos be our answer to The Locust?

Footnotes:

Bands: Daighila, Infinite Delay, Blood On Wedding Dress, Lord Sunny Day, Devillica, Nazark, Foliage and Akta Angkasa.
Genres: Modern grindcore, chaotic hardcore, space rock and jazz.
Tracks: 14 (57 minutes). Damage: RM15 only.

A personal review of the compilation cd that I would like to share with everyone. I’m hoping to see more documentation on our local scene like this. Worth every single cent!
