The Best Ska Thrash Prog Inspired Deathgrind Act On the Planet!
Yes folks, they may be the ONLY band of their kind in the world, but Gloominous Doom do what they do…ummm, better than anyone else. Ska in metal? Who woulda thunked it, but it’s possible, and these boys from Pennsylvania are living breathing recording examples of that. Perhaps ironically, upon listening to their sophomore effort, [...]
New Artist Watch: I’ll Eat Your Face
Ireland isn’t necessarily what we’d think to be the epicenter of grind, but Ireland is indeed the home if I’ll Eat Your Face, a group that you can only hope won’t take your ADHD medication, because they are about as random and prone to shiny objects as the best grind bands in the business (and [...]
Review: Abscess – Dawn of Inhumanity (2010)
I wasn’t a fan of Abscess’ 2007 Horrorhammer and 2010’s Dawn of Inhumanity isn’t much better. Abscess attempts to seamlessly combine crustcore hardcore punk with blackened death metal that reaks of an uber kult black metal band, complete with fisher price recording equipment and all, attempting to play oldschool hardcore punk. While this idea is [...]
Richard Hoak Drumming Video
So Richard Hoak of Brutal Truth and Total Fucking Destruction fame has come out with a short little grind drumming video which is wayyyy more interesting than virtually every other instrumental demo out there. Is it weird that I kind of want to have sex with the lady singing the song?
Music Video: Brutal Truth – Sugar Daddy
Album: Evolution Through Revolution
Label: Relapse Records
Year: 2009
Review: Anaal Nathrakh – In The Constellation Of The Black Widow (2009)
So far, 2009 has had its ups and downs. For every Crack The Skye, there’s a letdown like Revelations Of The Black Flame (1349)or something somewhat boring like Evisceration Plague (Cannibal Corpse). However, on this day, the Gods have given us one epic album: In The Constellation Of The Black Widow by the English extreme, [...]
Review: Waking the Cadaver – Perverse Recollections of A Necromangler (2007)
First and foremost: What the fuck is this? Did someone hire Oinky the oinking pig oinking contest winner? Who decided that pig squeals for an entire album would be a cool thing to do? Experimentation is fine, but knowing when your experiments are epic failures is something I hope Waking the Cadaver realizes so they [...]
Review: Seizure Crypt – Under the Gun (2008)
Hardcore…..hard…..core? Metal? Sort of. Emo? Fuck no. Breakdowns? Not really. Wow, hath my ears deceived me? Surprisingly, no. Hardcore does exist.
New York City’s Seizure Crypt brings to life a sound that is far from trendy, despite it belonging to a genre that is at the height of its popularity. Ironic right? There is nothing overly [...]
Review: Napalm Death – Time Waits For No Slave (2009) [aka: The Death of Deathcore]
I have said since the inception of modern deathcore that their biggest influence was Napalm Death and their early grindcore works, all rolled up with breakdowns as evolved from metalcore. This concept has always urked me for some reason, most likely because I feel many of these bands are soiling the great sound of one [...]
Underground Forgotten: Holocausto – Campo de Exterminio
Featuring horrific cover art and perhaps even more horrific, a malignant sound combining brutal thrash, grindcore and black metal that was rarely heard, Holocausto made it’s way through the tape trading circuit in 1987 with their debut Campo de Exterminio which still stands as one of Brazil’s most violent and controversial albums to date. This [...]
