Reviews HANDS OF DEATH - SPRING 2004 TOUR 3“ CD - CONTEMPT FOR HUMANITY 
Notwithstanding the title, a tour CD? And other than it doesn’t play reliably on any old or new CD players this 3” CD is a solid five-song release recorded at Le Beat Box Studio. Hands Of Death play a mix of grindcore and hardcore, titles like Fashion Victim and Intl Terrorist provide hints as to what influences the band. Scant details on both the label and band’s site and no word if this CD, especially considering its format, is widely available. More than anything, Spring 2004 Tour gives the impression of a sampler where a few guys get together, crunched out some punk-ish, some heavy thick guitar riffs, and growl and screamed on top. - Anna Tergel
