Review by Social Mobile Brand

Ur Balans by Slaktrens: A Brutal, Raw Punch to the Gut Man, oh man. If you’ve ever wanted an album that feels like getting hit by a freight train of pissed-off energy while simultaneously being handed a megaphone to scream into, Ur Balans by Slaktrens is your ticket. Released back in 2013 under labels like Rawby Records and Anarkopunx Records (seriously, those names alone are mood setters), this Swedish hardcore/punk/grindcore beast doesn’t mess around. It’s fast, it’s loud, and it’s got more attitude than a room full of anarchists arguing over who burned dinner. Let me break it down for ya. The record kicks off with "Lägg Ber"—and holy crap, does it set the tone. Imagine someone took all their frustration about society and just chucked it straight at your face through distorted guitars and relentless drumming. This track sticks with me because it’s not just noise; there’s something almost hypnotic about how chaotic yet controlled it feels. Like, yeah, they’re screaming bloody murder, but you can tell every second was planned out perfectly. That mix of raw emotion and tight musicianship? Chef’s kiss. Then there’s "Ur Balans," the title track, which hits different. Maybe it’s the way the vocals feel like they’re clawing their way out of some deep pit of despair—or maybe it’s just the sheer intensity of the riffs. Either way, this one lingers long after the last note fades. There’s no sugarcoating here, no attempt to soften the blow. Just pure, unfiltered rage wrapped up in three minutes of grindcore fury. Honestly, I think my neighbors heard me headbanging to this one from across the street. The rest of the tracks keep the momentum going—stuff like "Krigsrester" and "Skitprat" show off Slaktrens’ knack for blending grindcore chaos with punk’s DIY ethos. And props to whoever mastered this thing (shoutout to KM!) because everything sounds crisp without losing that gritty edge. You know how sometimes albums in these genres can feel either too polished or way too messy? Not here. It’s like biting into a jalapeño—spicy as hell, but still flavorful. What really gets me about Ur Balans, though, isn’t just the music itself. It’s the vibe. Listening to it feels like stepping into a dingy basement show where everyone’s sweaty, shouting along to lyrics they barely understand but connect with on a gut level anyway. It’s angry, sure, but it’s also cathartic. Like punching a wall—but then realizing you needed to punch that wall to let it all out. And honestly? After listening to this album, I kinda wanna start a band. Or quit my job. Or both. Who knows? Maybe that’s the point. Final thought: If you’re looking for background music to chill to, this ain’t it. But if you want something that’ll make you feel alive—even if “alive” means slightly overwhelmed and possibly deaf—then Ur Balans is worth every decibel. Just don’t blame me when your ears start ringing.
