    <content type="html"><img class="post-card-image" src="https://ghost.the-counterforce.org/content/images/2026/11/maced-fiscal-hole.jpg" alt="MACED / FISCAL HOLE - Split 7&quot;"></img>&lt;p&gt;MACED continue the modern Wellington tradition of savage grindcore with just a hint of hc (think the feral end of 80s Swedish stuff), real misery-guts shit with more than enough energy to keep this fucker raging the whole way through. I had a total blast, if these freaks manage to kick out another one before the years out I can rest easy knowing my quota for equal parts blastbeats and despair has been filled.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The flip-side of this record is the second offering from Auckland &#39;s FISCAL HOLE, a thrashcore endeavour that would feel absolutely at home among some of the earlier if not more off-kilter, 625 releases. Short songs, raging blastbeats and what I&#39;d call a tinge of early crust/anarcho in there, especially considering the misery of local + international politics and suffering that dominate the lyrics across this record. Absolute ripper.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Razored Raw and Insides Outside Records.
