SENSELESS

uffffff this one is killer!!..
Senseless was legendary band from Požega, Croatia..they were active in late 90's when underground scene in Požega was the strongest one on this area, I think.. there was so many awsome bands right then (Senseless, Dislike, Helldis, Nonsense, Loš Primjer, Sprovod, Fight Back, Gruuthaagy and some others) with mostly the same crew of people circulating through those bands.. even today I can't decide which one is the best to me, but Senseless is definitely somewhere at the top..

their music was always hard to define.. they even called themselves power violence.. that was the first time I heard for that term, but I wouldn't say that they have much in common with what today is called power violence..
someone says that they play crust influenced with metal, and someone that this is metal influenced with crust.. funny, but that is totally irrelevant in this case, when it's about such a great band, you know, one of those when you listen them and you can't sitting still.. you must rise your hand or even jump few time in the air across your room (it's not recommended to listen them in the car while you drive, heheh..)..
I'm not one of those music theorist but I would describe them like raw and aggressive crust core with a little of metal influence..but you can judge yourself!..
they were very active and they had many releases, split tapes with some well known bands, also many gigs in Croatia and Slovenia..
here are some releases for which I know:
Senseless - With God We Crust
Senseless/Mastic Scum - split tape
Senseless/Twisted Truth - split tape
Senseless/Dickles Tracy - split tape
Senseless/Seguimos Aqui - split tape
Senseless/Nonsense/Brutal addition - 3-way split tape
Senseless/S.Z.I. - split 7" EP
Senseless/Panic Overdose - split 
Senseless/Lie Detector - split
Senseless/Pro Masa - split CD

nice discography, isn't it!?.. and I'm sure that there was more of that, probably some demo + songs on many compilations..
line up was, at first Goco - vocal, Kktz - bass, Dena - guitar and Suli - drums but then Goco left the band and Dena and Kktz take the microphone and terror continues..

I don't have any more info about them but below are some scans of an interview with them (Kktz actually) published in one old  'zine Bastard Of The Week #1 but it's on Croatian and it's totally not serious but it's interesting and fun for reading..(just click on the picture for the larger size)
also here are few download links for their releases so download and enjoy the noise!.. thanx to Kktz who send those links to me..

P.S. - as Kktz informed me there were some other members active in Senseless before those two line ups I had wrote about - Zebec (guitar), Kero (bass) and Vera (vocal) and Smole was guest vocal, besides on split EP with S.Z.I., also at their last live show..

 SENSELESS / S.Z.I. - split 7" EP

 

this is Senseless first and only one non-cassette release, I think (besides split CD with Pro Masa).. split with Slovenian crust band S.Z.I. (Sirup Za Iskašljevanje)..

on Senseless side 4 tracks recorded in their rehearsal room by their original (first one) line up with Smole (Dislike, Drob) as a guest on back vocals.. decent sound and great songs but not any fancy production here..

on S.Z.I. side 5 tracks of fast and raging crust with some engaged anti-state lyrics..

this EP is released by Slovenian label Abnormal Beer Terrorism in cooperation with bands and there were 530 copys pressed..

SENSELESS / TWISTED TRUTH - split tape

and here we have the whole Senseless/Twisted Truth split tape, again thanks to Aleš and his friend this time!.. this is really brilliant piece of noise by those two great bands.. from T.T. side 24 songs, some recorded live, some at rehearsal, some in studio.. very nice material if you are fan of filthy and raw as hell grindcore.. imagine the filthiest and the rawest Agathocles and you got Twisted Truth.. they are from Czech Republic, if you maybe had some doubts about that, country which was hatch of similar bands in '90s.. for Senseless I told already something above, but to repeat, they appeared here with some live recordings, also some rehearsal stuff.. chaotic sound of hc crust at balkan way!
all in all really nice tape.. in the file are included photos of the cover, with lyrics.. strongly recommended by me if you want your ears get dirty with some filthy sound!..

SENSELESS / PRO MASA - split CD

this CD was released by Mamma records, PMK records and Pushmajkar records and zine back in 2004 when both bands weren't active anymore and it still might be available on some distributions if you put some effort to find it.. Senseless are represented here with live recordings which are part of their last live appearance on the gig which took place at MKC Koper,Slovenia at February 2001 plus 2 bonus tracks recorded in rehearsal room.. all together 10 songs including Doom and Patareni covers.. sound is nasty, raw and chaotic as always, bringing to us some serious kick ass crust..

Pro Masa were a band from Sombor, Serbia existed only a year long in 2000.. on this CD are their demo recordings with 8 songs of wild hc crust with female shouted/screaming vocals..

all the info and lyrics are on nice looking booklet pressed on recycled paper which goes with CD (scans are included in download file)..
