Evisorax, When People Become Numbers, The Magpyes, Narcosis
Written by Edward Martland.
"Next onstage are When People Become Numbers, Machine-gun riffing underpins their sound, which is built upon with guitar arpeggios (sounding like they may be made with a delay pedal) and a certain ghoulish quality that Evisorax never quite had
Though they could initially be mistaken for little more than grindcore, WPBN have an unquestionable sense of humour, throwing in a chunk of the Tetris in-game music. This moment, in their second song, is met soon after by strangely contemplative passages that soon erupt once more. Elsewhere again they border on jazz-metal, or even psychedelia
Really WPBN are at their finest when they step away from grindcore’s blitz, throwing in beautifully melodic passages or slow-burning gothic doom metal. For their final number they begin with a riff that’s almost grind-by-numbers, but soon flourish with a new instrumental passage that’s interrupted by strangely Goons-like voices. "
Demo Review: By TERRORIZER MAGAZINE
"These lads from Blackpool cover all the basics you would expect from a young grindcore band. They set a blinding pace, with anger bursting from every scream. Yes, there are dazzlingly fast guitars, ferocious screams and colossal drums."
EP Review by DEATHDOOM
"Hitting in with an intro seemingly taken from a Vietnam war film (Always a wise choice in my estimations) the brilliantly named When People Become Numbers kick into their instantly endearing doom like grind with all the energy and cataclysm of a super nova. I love the name, It’s so true of life and the society with which we live in, and I love the, simply LOVE the film clip from the cult John Carpenter classic THEY LIVE which is used as the intro for "Black Materia .. A tune which is alot more aggressive and sporadic in style than "The Space Between Us Grows", kicking into more of a Grindcore sound. The band themselves hail from Blackpool in the UK. I went to Blackpool once and fucking hated it. These guys though have given me a serious reason to go back. Gigging around the north with Deathdoom favorites Jusure, I suggest you check these guys out. Their music kicks ass, and their film taste is impeccable, what more could you possibly ask for?DDDD-Doomtastic"
