Review: This band has already 7 years of existence and a demo, a split CD and several compilations released and for my shame I haven't heard a word on 'em till now. Well, that's not the only case in this nowadays overpopulated scene so I'll pass directly to the point. "Hung,..." is their debut MCD released on Grindethic, taht once again proves they want only the most brutal bands from the pile. Beef Conspiracy's music is defined as "ferocious dual-vocal  death/grind with blastbeats galore and a filthy aftertaste", but I would go more on the grind side of it, as the death metal parts are quite rare (except track 6 which is slow death - a curiosity for the whole album). The sound is underground, as we were used to listen to some 15 years ago, but nevertheless brutal and very violent. If you're used to that polished, clean sound the big labels are offering, avoid this CD because it is only for the underground maniacs for sure. The two vocals do a good and intense job: one is ultra-guttural, low-tuned growl and the other is a blackish one, screamed but not yelled. Sometimes, as their bio stated, they are going on the old-Carcass type of approach, mostly ultra-fast, but with some slow or mid-paced parts as well. The whole thing is spiced with samples from different movies and some (very few indeed) electro touches.
