    Here's the current band of guitarist Michael Carlisle who was part of Mortification in their early days when the band sounded more brutal than nowadays. It seems Michael wanted to stay in the brutal vein. Though Cybergrind isn't like early Mortification at all. This certainly is extreme in terms of speed and lots of double bass. The vocals are grinding and a bit dark. The title-track is a good example. It has speedy riffs and machine-gun drumming. On Transcend you can hear a three-piece cranking out eight grindcore songs. There are a few instrumentals too but you won't hear Michael playing solos like he did in Mortification. What I miss here is information about where it was recorded, who did the production and such. This album is not outstanding but it's not bad either.
