KORT PROSESS - 1993/94 CDEP
instructions are specific: this shouldn't cost much more than two vinyl singles,
and the extra songs on this aren't "bonus-tracks". umm... well, the facts would
state: this is a reissue of their two singles (one remastered) and threee
previously unreleased (not "bonus", remember?) songs. facts would also state this
is by far one of the best bands out of europe in the last couple of years -
buffeting hardcore played with serious intensity -- memorable songs, all the
critical elements in abundance. great shit, a real treat to gethose "extra tracks"
as well! ha. (MRR)
this is a combination of 7"s and some bonus-tracks remastered onto disc. i'm
guessing these guys are from norway (the lyrics are written in a foreign
language). i'm not sure, but they have that european sound (if you know what that
means). pretty straight forward high-end guitar and tougher vocals kind of making
this a heavy RAW POWER with tighter musicianship. once in a while i'll hear some
SEPTIC DEATH stuff in there. very interesting, but normally not my type of thing.
(RUST, Seattle)
KORT PROSESS - Svart Natt double 7" and CDEP
whoa. the kings of norwegian hardcore return - and with a vengeance - 16 songs
spread out over a double EP. somehow managing to spike hardcore with equal amounts
of speed, intricacy and verge -- it's overly simplistic to just call it hardcore
-- while that's the foundation, the structure isn't so easily pigeonholed. can
only hope with the recent success of other norwegian bands, they start to get half
the recognition they deserve. (MRR)
this double 7" is really nicely packaged. the cover is nice, the art is great, the
booklet is tasty. aesthetically speaking, this is awesome. the music is harsh.
there is a sense of the melodic buried underneath the harsh style, but it isn't
easily heard. the vocals are irritatingly rough. there are 16 songs on this double
record, which means fast little ditties. the label describes KORT PROSESS as
"traditional norwegian hc". that is a pretty good description. i like KORT
PROSESS, but I have to admit that I can only take so many cracks to the skull
before I am worn out. their sound is hard, and maybe I am getting old, but at
times it is almost too hard for my ears. anyway, this is very well done.
(HEARTATTACK)
everything about this record is great (with the exception of they're break up).
tight as fuck intricate hardcore, with deep punchy vocals, great production so you
can hear the constant changes in the music, a musical gem! after you are done
rockin' out to this mad display, each record is slipped into its own printed inner
sleeve, placed along with the booklet, which contains lyrics that appear in
they're native tongue but english explanations are provided, plus well done hand
drawn black and white pictures, into its well crafted protective outer shell until
next time! (Profane Existence #36)
this is really awesome heavy hardcore with full power and a brutal urgent
intensity - and it rocks, too! 16 new songs on this double 7" in a beautiful
package with nice design as i've seen before with HeartFirst Records. KORT PROSESS
are from norway - and play "traditional norwegian hardcore". this is heavy
powerful stuff, played fast and tight with a galloping beat and a really deep
gruff voice at the forefront. this is great and it rocks, too!!! (FLIPSIDE)
metallic Norwegian fjordcore with a singer who sounds like Felix from RF7, all
packaged to look like a 7". good stuff. (FLIPSIDE about the CD)
KORT PROSESS - 1993 7"
fast, choppy hardcore that has a few hints of melody, but for the most part it's
spastic. i'm not sure where in europe these guys are from, but it has that "new
school" german sound. eight fast songs with great layout and artwork.
(HEARTATTACK)
KORT PROSESS - 1994 7"
absolutely raging stuff outta oslo, norway. it's superheavy brutal HC that has
some, admittedly metal leanings. i have to wonder if they've ever tasted
RORSCHACH. Nine songs in eight+ minutes. cool booklet, too. their second 7". (MRR)
horrifying thrash noises from these brutal norsemen. sonic destruction that
tramples you under their boots. the buzzsaw guitar rips and slashes with abandon.
of the nine songs on this little platter, most of the tracks are well under a
minute long. just knowing this you already know that this is going to be one
really wild ride. it is up there with the brutal noises emanating from their other
scandinavian neighbors. (FLIPSIDE)

KORT PROSESS - Trondheim, UFFA 03.10.2009
-----------------------------------------
Da det legendariske punkbandet KORT PROSESS fra Horten spilte på Uffa
lørdag 3. oktober, var det mange som hadde møtt opp på Uffa for å overvære
konserten. Først skulle Bitre Barn, et ungt og uerfarent punkband fra
Trondheim spille, deretter Victimized og så Kort Prosess. En fin pakke for
et sultent publikum.
Så var det Kort Prosess. En tightere punkekonsert skal du lete lenge
etter. Man skulle ikke tro at bandet ikke har spilt live sammen på lenge,
men det låt bare helt nydelig. Ultradyktige musikere som vet hvor de har
de andre i bandet, gjør at en konsert sjelden blir dårlig. Kort Prosess
spilte så bra at hele konserten deres bare fløy av sted og vips så var den
over, og det første du tenkte på, var at dette faktisk var kort prosess.
