"This is straightforward, blasting, pissed off Grind from Memphis... They definitely have something of a hateful and slack vibe similar to Anal Cunt or even Dismembered Fetus, though perhaps with slightly more of a more traditional metallic working out of songs... The chugging guitars can get quite death metal-ish sometimes but the band has enough feral, animalistic power and speed to tickle my grind nerve... All of this and some of the drumming sound and style also reminds me alot of something like Hemdale... Tracks are are all very direct, short and to the point, filled with crazed, angry, roaring, growling, snarling vocals, fierce, grinding riffage, plus a whole lot of mandatory, brief but pretty funny intro samples. Sound is very much on the raw side, slightly rehearsal style and all over the place, the overall mix is just not really loud enough for my taste but still the band's pretty tight and their energy comes across very well throughout the recording... Also noteworthy is a cover version of Napalm Death's "Re-address the Problem", it's not as the original (hard to top!) but anyway yeah great song and cool choice for a cover! In the end, not a disagreeable listen at all, definitely check these guys out!"

"Straight from of the swamps of Mississippi, Burn The Masses come blasting with all the ferocity of Dismembered Fetus, the crushing heaviness of Sanitys Dawn and the irreverant sarcasm of Anal Cunt. Probably one of the better demos to come my way in awhile, BTM's "Piss And Hate" cd-r impressed the shit outta me with it's display of intense rage and tight delivery. The sound is, of course, demo quality but if you're a real grind fan this isn't much a disclaimer for you. Fans of the aforementioned bands will not be disappointed."
