Grindcore has never really been my preferred area of metal given how it’s so raw, visceral, and just the pinnacle of what it means to take music to a truly murderous and unadulterated form. The only album I’ve ever really … Continue reading Pig Destroyer – Head Cage
Typically, I’m not too big into grind as the vast majority of what I’ve heard is simply too extreme for my personal taste and just not for me. However, with the help of the bands Cattle Decapitation and Heathen Beast, … Continue reading Expulsion – Nightmare Future
Every band has a message – a mission if you will. Yes, the mission varies from band to band much as one squad may have a different objective than another, but it’s the ones that speak out are the ones … Continue reading Heathen Beast – $cam
I’ve never really been one for grindcore as to me it sounds like vomit someone just shat out because it has no form and it’s just a mess nine times out of ten to me. But one of my friends … Continue reading Napalm Death – Apex Predator – Easy Meat
For the past year or so, I’ve been in a loose partnership with the Indian record label/webzine/PR company known as Transcending Obscurity which is a major player in the metal scene in India as they sign multitudes of bands from … Continue reading Transcending Obscurity Label Sampler: Volume 1
When a band this unknown puts out an album as hardcore and insane as this it only shows that Witch of the Waste has the talent of veterans when it comes down to making an amazing album. “Made of Teeth” is what it sounds like – an absolutely raw album that is filled with brutality that is relentless in each and every song. From the very beginning of this EP it is clear that Witch of the Waste have come to make a point and that point is thaty’re a force to be reckoned with and has come to kick … Continue reading Witch of the Waste – Made of Teeth
“III” was released yesterday and it’s as amazing as I thought it was going to be. It had amazing sound with the guitars, vocals, and drums all having badass tone and sound all throughout this album and that makes it fucking great. Xerath reincorporates the use of atmospheric sounds that they used in their single “I Hold Dominion” to make the songs that they’re used in sound all the more epic and fantastic. I really wish many more people would know of this band because Xerath is one of those groups that have somehow gone undetected among the greater part of the … Continue reading Xerath – III
I’ve never heard of Xerath before and I really wish I have. Apparently their new album “III” releases this Tuesday on their Bandcamp page and I cannot wait judging by their single “I Hold Dominion”. It has amazing sound to it. With the use of the atmospheric sounds that are used much more heavily by “epic” metal bands, Xerath made it not so dominate but made it a sort of background noise much like what Alestorm did in their debut “Captain Morgan’s Revenge” where it was utilized to the point that it made the songs more epic when mixed with the guitars and vocals. … Continue reading Xerath – I Hold Dominion (single)
I’ve never really listened to grindcore before, but as with just about everything I’m always open to something new and Degenerhate is definitely new for me. I’m not used to going in to listen to an album, looking at the number of tracks, and seeing nineteen! That was definitely something I’m not used to. Of course, me being stupid I thought that these were all songs that were anywhere between 2 to 5 minutes long. Thankfully they weren’t. The longest was almost 4 minutes if I remember correctly (the program I had to use didn’t show all the lengths at … Continue reading Degenerhate – Chronicles of the Apocalypse
