EP and trilogy (<i>Destination Time </i>trilogy)</div><div><b>Released</b>: Spring 2011</div><div><b>Genre</b>: Grindcore<br /><div><br /></div><div>I wish I could stop my review here... y'know images speak louder than words... look how cool that thing is!</div><div><div><div><br /></div><div>Everyone's favorite action movie aficionado grindcorists return with this nifty box that's both a new EP and a reprise of their totally awesome trilogy. The packaging isn't something that I can leave out as it folds out to a ghetto blaster with the EP+back catalog on a CD up top and a 10" of the EP tucked in the front. Remember, these are the guys who gave us a release in a backpack, another in packaging reminiscent of everyone's favorite scene of <i>Alien</i> and finally one with cross-hairs over the likes of JFK and Tupac. Of course the liner notes are included in the instructional pamphlet for the boombox.</div><div><br /></div><div>Over the top and insanely cool packaging aside the EP is stands up on its own as a solid chunk of hardcore tinged grind with plenty of references and snippets of movies. Super slick production highlight the pummeling drumwork and the plethora of vocals used. Riffs standout and blur together, just seconds apart; many feel like sped up Integrity riffs. This isn't to discredit the band, far from it. The riffs just have that "positive" nature found in many hardcore acts (the opposite kinds being that of Weekend Nachos and black metal bands, etc). </div><div><br /></div><div>Where Spazz were just spastic with their samples, the GO boys look to thematics (no matter how silly or light-hearted they might be) each track and sample plays a crucial role in their cinematic grind feature. Fans of their previous efforts will find little tweaks, but thankfully much of the same ( and better might I add than their previous release). Newcomers will find grindcore not without hardcore sentiments a'la gang choruses, breakdowns and rhythmic shifts that make the pit all the more satisfying with plenty of tremolo outbursts and blistering blast beats. What Frightmare are to horror movies, Graf Orlock are to action movies; nerdy, fun, and brilliant homages to the mediums that reflected the times of their conceptions. </div><div><br /></div><div>To dip into the collection aspect of the package you get their first LP, <i>Destination Time Yesterday</i>, which is one of my favorite grindcore albums post 2001 and definitely their best work. Following is <i>Destination Time Tomorrow</i>, an 8 song EP much in the same vein, but better than the second LP and third part of the trilogy <i>Destination Time Today</i>, which I found to be a bit <a href="http://chainsawjustice.blogspot.com/2009/08/graf-orlock-destination-time-today.html">lackluster</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And I quote <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?iwa4m7yvjkdv5bj">"No rights reserved, not licensed for distribution to everyone on Earth, reproduction and exhibition authorized, all rights reserved.

Guy knows his shit for sure. God Harvest play pissed-off hardcore (what else could hardcore sound like, eh?) and they play it fucking well. "Hardcore" and "demo" put together usually spells bad production, but this release is anything but that. There's plenty of weight and punch in the guitars and bass, satisfyingly enough. Drums are not muffled at all as one would find in inferior releases and run a gamut of blastbeats and d-beats. Demo clocks in at a perfect 11 minutes.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?1s8wb2vct3mwdf0">Minimum time spent, maximum bludgeoning achieved. </a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/godharvest"><br /><br /></a>Axel Sikthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11382816499119222850noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198548564547956151.post-91422333673584542852011-06-02T01:35:00.006+08:002011-06-02T02:30:25.889+08:00And On and On...<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kK1yvqVFZ2g/TeaCI1pMJjI/AAAAAAAAAN4/RI2CcIlRXSE/s1600/and_on_and_on_agoraphobic_nosebleed_despise_you.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kK1yvqVFZ2g/TeaCI1pMJjI/AAAAAAAAAN4/RI2CcIlRXSE/s200/and_on_and_on_agoraphobic_nosebleed_despise_you.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613317073914308146" /></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Despise-You/79667734905?ref=ts">Despise You </a><div><a href="http://www.myspace.com/agoraphobicnb">Agoraphobic Nosebleed</a></div><div><b>Label</b>: <a href="http://www.relapse.com/">Relapse</a></div><div><b>Released</b>: April 2011</div><div><b>Release Type</b>: Split 12" or CD</div><div><b>Genre</b>: Power Violence/ Grindcore</div><div><br />West Coast power violence purveyors Despise You team up with East Coast grind freaks Agoraphobic Nosebleed for what seems to be the split of the year. <div><br /></div><div>Thankfully, after all these years Despise You has stuck with what they do best, but as one would expect and hope, they've added here and there and really tried to trim the fat. "Roll Call" alone makes the split worth it as it shifts from blistering blast beats to d-beats until we get a slew of fuck yous, gang shouts, and the much loved female contributing vocals. It's not only the curb stomping vehemence of the vocals that propel this band, but also the band's dominance of rhythm and song structure that really make it enjoyable. Before there was melody, there was rhythm and Despise You have rooted themselves deep into that heritage. This isn't to say there aren't good riffs, quite the contrary, there's plenty, but those riffs duel it out with the uncompromising drums and vocals to merge each aspect into one pulsating body.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://handmedownexistence.tumblr.com/post/6077598207">"Roll Call"</a></div><div><br /></div><div>The production this time around is much cleaner, guitars cut off on the drop of a dime and the bass drum threatens to jump out of your speakers and throw a haymaker. Where they retain much of what's made them one of the best power violence bands out there, "Fear's Song" keeps in line with their attitude but plays out like an old school punk song with the simple punk chord progression and drum beat. The proof is in the punk pudding when "All the Regimes You Hold Most Dear" ties together every aspect of the band into one 34 second song. The only thing I could ask for more of would be break downs... but I'm happy where this one leaves it. I can only look forward to what's next. To quote the laconic machine-gunning genius "they drew first blood:" up the ante Agoraphobic Nosebleed.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I've never been much of a fan of Scott Hull's side project, but here I am listening, head-banging and looking for more. A nice aspect of the split is the similar production between the bands, this creates a nice listening experience (although it is a bit too clean for me, particularly the drums). "Half Dead" starts things off perfectly only to be followed by "As Bad As It Is" with its Slayereque dive-bombing and a slew of drums, riffs, and vocals flying around like shrapnel. Agoraphobic Nosebleed play a super thrashy style of schizophrenic grindcore that's familiar enough but at the same time jarring and bone shattering. The varied vocals, every shifting drums and riffs are overwhelming in the best kind of way.

Let me warn you though, I have a penchant for long-winded, self-indulgent monologue but write terse, short reviews. Hopefully the next few posts will see me writing/ranting more about the music than my personal life. We can only hope.<br /><br />As mentioned, the next couple of reviews will be short and concise. I prefer to let the music speak for itself and the readers to use his/her own ears. Perhaps I'll offer deeper criticism when I've got more time to spare and when people are reading this blog again. In the meantime, my job here is to simply expose the audience to music they hopefully aren't familiar with and regenerate interest in this blog. That'll be all for now. As promised, here's the review.<br /><br />+-+-+-+<br /><br />Grindcore deity Jon Chang and fellow noise-pollutors from other genre greats such as Hayaino Daisuki, Kill the Client, and Discordance Axis are back with the follow-up to 2008's <span style="font-style: italic;">Amber Gray. </span>Chang-boy brings back the death growls employed during his DA days to compliment his typical throat-shredding sceams. The addition of bassist Teddy Patterson III (Burnt by the Sun, Human Remains, Hayaino Daisuki) supposely adds the low end that was missing on <span style="font-style: italic;">Amber Gray, </span>though it's hard to tell it's there at all. The presence of two-guitarists (Takafumi Matsubara and Takafumi Matsubara) only ups the trebly piano-wire strangulation-madness that they somehow manage to convert into riffs.<br /><br />Gridlink (and pretty much any of Chang's bands) are notorious for taking an extremely long time to put out new releases and having a perfectionist streak. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Along the longest, most laborious distillation process can produce the the purest, strongest works that will stand the test of time. Those who can stomach the wait - the true believers - will be rewarded richly. Everyone else can go listen to Amon Amarth. <span style="font-style: italic;">Orphan </span>is 12 minutes of <span style="font-style: italic;">the</span> most skin-flaying, eardrum-rupturing, skull-piercing technical grindcore known to man and probably any other intelligent species in the multiverse. You will enjoy it...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ca0iwlw813bvat9"><strong>...and then beg for more.</strong></a>Axel Sikthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11382816499119222850noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198548564547956151.post-89306402972059284462011-03-29T05:06:00.006+08:002011-03-29T08:26:36.733+08:00Weekend Nachos- Black Earth<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9FThkKzEraE/TZD5LfnTjgI/AAAAAAAAANo/cqfKWdJevOM/s1600/00%2Bcover_large.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 256px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9FThkKzEraE/TZD5LfnTjgI/AAAAAAAAANo/cqfKWdJevOM/s200/00%2Bcover_large.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589241113427021314" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/weekendnachos">Official Myspace</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Label</span>: <a href="http://www.a389records.com/site/">A389 Records<br /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release Date</span>: March 2011<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release Type</span>: 7" EP<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Genre</span>: Power Violence<br /><br /><br />Striving for the balance they found on 2009's <span style="font-style: italic;">Unforgivable</span>, Weekend Nachos bounce back from the lackluster <span style="font-style: italic;">Bleed</span> e.p. and hit home with this one.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Black Earth</span> is a short, jam packed e.p. totaling 4 songs just over 5 minutes.As mentioned earlier, I found <span style="font-style: italic;">Bleed</span> to be a let down as it had the animosity and heaviness I loved of <span style="font-style: italic;">Unforgivable</span> but lacked speed and variation, making it overall a bit boring. This time around they band keeps it's focus on unbelievably heavy guitars and beat down sections but thankfully intersperses plenty of faster and more typical power violence outbursts. Flurries of blast beats lead into intense mosh sections introduced with harsh feedback and cascades of cymbals. As far as song writing goes I'm sold with this one.<br /><br />And while the band regains the form that they do best, the singer still seems to be struggling with his voice as it sounds artificially distorted and quite different from the last two releases. This is a sore point as the vocals hamper the release overall and are not up my ally. To go further, it's a sorer point if this is studio magic as the vocals dramatically shift throughout the band's whole discography; the tough guy barks from <span style="font-style: italic;">Unforgivable</span> are gone (which was a huge part of my enjoyment). Seriously listen to the band's discography and the vocals will be recognizable but drastically different each time.<br /><br />Worth a buy for sure, but I have my axe to grind with those vocals. Their next full length promises to showcase both "Black Earth" and "Friendship," while "Priorities" is a redo from <span style="font-style: italic;">This Comp Kills Fascists Vol. I</span> and the last track, "No Saints" is an unrecorded oldie.<br /><br />Pick it up from <a href="http://www.a389records.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=1635">A389's site</a>.<br /><br /><br />-FUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198548564547956151.post-85752407962734553902011-03-10T05:12:00.008+08:002011-03-10T23:35:36.082+08:00Record Radar<span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Here's just a little update for all of you fan, collectors, enthusiasts, consumers, and what else have you.

What I've got in store are two awesome casette's that I had the good fortune to hear.<br /><br />First up on the chopping block is Spewtilator's <span style="font-style: italic;">Get Conjured</span> ep<br />.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3wP3npjhkuM/TW14WaJNB0I/AAAAAAAAANY/XEwVcl2C0kY/s1600/sdfsd.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3wP3npjhkuM/TW14WaJNB0I/AAAAAAAAANY/XEwVcl2C0kY/s200/sdfsd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579247839752292162" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/spewtilator">Official Myspace</a><br /><br />If you're uncomfortable cutting your hockey mullet, replacing your Wehrmact and Morbid Angel tapes or unwilling to play anything but your SNES then Spewtilator's latest ep might alleviate your temporal anxiety.<br /><br />Gloriously fun and frantic, Spewitlator are a brilliant homage to the sounds of the 80's. Quintessential thrash riffing tied together with mosh breaks and outburst blast beats offer something for everyone. Vocals shifting from nasaly shrieks to guttural belches keep up the dynamic and fast paced nature of the band. If you heard their excellent debut ep expect a bit more of a death metal influence with this one.4 songs that breeze by quick, Spewtilator find ample ways to make it attention grabbing and fun; not to mention nailing the perfect kind of production for this kind of music.<br /><br />Ordering details <a href="http://spewtilator.blogspot.com/">here</a>, support good dudes playing solid stuff. Keep a look out for the band as they prepare for a new 7" that promises to be good (I've got the inside scoop).<br /><br />-F<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/spewtilator"></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198548564547956151.post-23697514676938321832011-02-08T03:51:00.008+08:002011-02-08T04:29:12.163+08:00Fell Voices - Untitled<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.gileadmedia.net/images/eld032mid.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 374px; height: 374px;" src="http://www.gileadmedia.net/images/eld032mid.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/fellvoicesca">Official Myspace</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Label</span>: <a href="http://www.gileadmedia.net/">Gilead Media</a>, <a href="http://noladiy.org/howlingmine.html">Howling Mine</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release Type</span>: LP, Full Length<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release Date</span>: March 2011<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Genre</span>: Black Metal<br /><br />Fell Voices, containing ex members of Mohoram Atta and Centipede, are taking the proper route this time around with the reissue of their CD-R only release thanks to Gilead Media and Howling Mine.<br /><br />Fell Voices play a long, winding, stream of black metal much in the vein of Wolves in the Throne Room, Leech, Skagos, and the like. The vast sprawling composure of their new LP spans two songs and over forty minutes, allowing for all kinds of twists and turns, winds and falls, and always with momentum. It's a hard thing to keep someone listening for twenty minutes straight, yet that's never an issue with Fell Voices as they deftly craft songs earning the quality of epic. Every snare hit, cymbal crash, note and piece of feedback has its place; it's a rare feeling of cohesion that allows the listener to blissfully zone out in a black metal daze.<br /><br />The record itself promises to be a real treat as it's heavy black vinyl with awesome artwork, a huge poster, patch, and pin. It's dirt cheap and can be pre-ordered over at <a href="http://www.gileadmedia.net/store/">Gilead</a>.

As for the rest of the crew, engagements and activities in our offline lives have kept us from posting (some of us much, <i>much </i>longer than others), so I'd like to extend my thanks to our dedicated readers who continue to privilege us with their attention. I believe that FM's guarantee of an inevitable return applies to all of us, and I do hope you lot won't forget about us before then. I know that Axel and I most likely will not be back before June, however 206, and especially FM, could come back well before then and run this ship singlehandedly as they have done so exceptionally before. As for the bands sending us demos and EPs, do know that we have not forgotten you, and that we are planning to review much of the material you've sent us later down the line. All in all, I'd simply like to extend my thanks once more to all our readers, and assure you that this project will be much more active later this year.<div><br /></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Gravemarker</div><div><br /></div>Gravemarkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14432849156047995478noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198548564547956151.post-28930883961119873182011-01-09T13:19:00.002+08:002011-01-09T13:20:04.106+08:00I've run into some personal issues that have kept me away from this site (as you can see).

Humble beginnings between high-school friends Onur (guitar) and Semih (vocals) in 2005, they've progressed to tour Europe, release 8 splits/eps (with a handful more to come), and worked to create a grindcore scene within Turkey. "I think we hadn't even realized we were about to start a band, that is probably why we picked up such a random word to be our moniker which means "offal" and obviously has nothing to do with what we stand for now." Even though their name might allude to goregrind (for Turkish speakers that is), it's obvious this band's sound doesn't rest in such a gimmick. One listen to their superb <a href="http://chainsawjustice.blogspot.com/2010/10/sakatatdispepsiaa-split.html">spli</a><a href="http://chainsawjustice.blogspot.com/2010/10/sakatatdispepsiaa-split.html">t with Dispepsiaa</a> and you'll find yourself in some kind of grindcore time-warp; not sure if it's '87 or what.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/87/l_43e7820ba5b548c29731473c69edb4cb.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 179px; height: 267px;" src="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/87/l_43e7820ba5b548c29731473c69edb4cb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Finally completing their lineup in 2008 with the addition of drummer Kaya, the band began recording and touring. "We have been pretty active after he joined in 2008, recorded bunch of split 7"s, played shitload of great shows, toured as much as we could..." vocalist Semih concludes. In light of there being almost no grindcore scene, and a very small punk/hardcore scene, Semih and co. have found ways to flourish by playing in some of Europe's biggest extreme festivals and consistently playing within Turkey and not being negative at the current lack of a scene.<br /><br /><embed autostart="false" loop="true" playcount="2" src="http://www.4shared.com/embed/457777172/9631883b" height="40" width="300"></embed><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" >Ucuz Can Pazarı</span><br /><br />"As for playing grindcore here, well even though the interest in grindcore is growing, most people still have no clue about what grindcore really is, people tend to think it is same thing as brutal death metal or just some kind of joke. We have been offered to play shows with fascist bands more than once and people were really surprised when we rejected the offers and explained them why! On the bright side, many local punks and metalheads order our records and shirts and people seem to be aware of us, there are recently good number of people at the show when there is a good foreign grind band so there might actually be a grindcore scene here soon."<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x95/cesettur/skttwebv2/disco/disco_sbknk.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 180px;" src="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x95/cesettur/skttwebv2/disco/disco_sbknk.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Beyond Turkey's growing metal scene, Sakatat themselves have had quite a time with the recent Bloodshed Festival in Holland. With big names like Magrudergrind, Suffering Mind, Weekend Nachos and Idiots Parade, not only was it a pleasure to the ears, but an event in of itself. "Bloodshed Festival was a blast[...] Personally I spent the first day catching up with the the homies[...] another good thing about touring, you always get to play with and see great bands." The band isn't short on notches on their belt as they've played at both Obscene Extreme and Play Fast or Don't, along with the recent Bloodshed Festival.<br /><br />When asked about touri<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/125/l_8356c90594834739a17e3faccf58caae.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 328px;" src="http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/125/l_8356c90594834739a17e3faccf58caae.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>ng and productivity Semih claims "...we usually end up spending almost one month of each year on tour. We really enjoy it when we play those new songs live while they are fresh! I don't know if you noticed that already but we always try to have some kind of wholeness on our records, if that is the right word. Meaning that we try to make the whole record sound like one single cut not like 5 or more tunes put together. That is the case with the shows too. We like to play the next tune without giving a break in between and make each bunch of sets sound like a single song."<br /><br />As all this touring, festival playing, and recording continues it's only logical that the band would approach the idea of a full-length release. "We never wanted to rush things when it comes to recording a full-length and finally it seems like the right time to do it. We have the general outline and ideas for a full-length already like the songs, cover artwork, concept etc... so we might give it a shot really soon. Interested labels shouldn't hesitate to contact us."<br /><br />With great music comes a great attitude, as Semih exclaims " I think the charm and sincerity [of grindcore] would go away if let's say, a grindcore band made a deal with a major company. We listen to all kinds of weird shit, from obscure metal to punkrock and we are involved in many different activities like 'zines, radio show, setting up shows, booking tours, hosting touring bands and more so whatever we do, we keep it DIY and encourage our friends to do so. DIY, on the other hand, might have different definitions depending on who you ask. Our definition would be something like keeping it as capitalism-free as possible, not for profit, sincere and always partying like there is no tomorrow!"<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x95/cesettur/skttweb/gigs_090910.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 198px;" src="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x95/cesettur/skttweb/gigs_090910.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />And as for last words:<br />"I'd like to add that we have a split 7" with MESRINE coming out soon, it will be released by To Live A Lie in the States, Grindblock and Useless in Europe and Bucho Discos in Brazil, also the rough recording of our show at Bloodshed will soon be released on tape by Death Agony & Screams. Moreover we will record another split 7" soon, this time with our comrades MATKA TERESA and we might even go on a tour in summer if we manage to get the full-length out by then.

Chainsaw Justice Vol. III will follow soon as a collection of the best songs of the year.<br /><br />Bluntly said, I'm not happy with the output of 2010. Full length wise there were some good ones, but very lackluster (especially for grindcore/power violence). There have also been some difficulties personally. I know that Lycanthrophy's LP as well as The Makai's LP would be top 10 material, but I can't get a hold of them until after New Years. I'd rather not put off this list anymore than I have, so without further adieu here are the best albums of 2010.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DG3ApT-TwHA/TQpQG-qRcPI/AAAAAAAAALk/OiKdkkdOoDc/s1600/jesus%2Bcrost_010.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 88px; height: 88px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DG3ApT-TwHA/TQpQG-qRcPI/AAAAAAAAALk/OiKdkkdOoDc/s200/jesus%2Bcrost_010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551337571517296882" border="0" /></a><br /><span>10.<span style="font-weight: bold;">Jesus Cröst</span>- <span style="font-style: italic;">010</span><br /></span><span>A soccer (football) hooligan's approach to stop'n'go fastcore from this dutch duo.

Me too. DSO's latest effort was off my radar for awhile as I've become a bit dismissive of the band's mumbo-jumbo black metal. This time around, however, I find the band to be much different. The band has built upon the absurd complexity of works like <span style="font-style: italic;">Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem</span> where the dissonance and jarring composure work to highlight some of the sublimely clear and melodic passages and riffs. Overwhelming is an understatement first time around, <span style="font-style: italic;">Paracletus</span>, benefits greatly from shorter and more diverse songs and a lack of pedantic intros. Deathspell Omega have finally reached a point that they first alluded to with <span style="font-style: italic;">Kenose</span>.<br /><br />Here are my favorite eps, comps, and splits of the year.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">V/A- This Comp Kills Fascists Vol. 2<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Sakatat/Dispepsiaa- Split 7"<br />PLF/ In Disgust- Pray for Death / Visions of Your Own Death<br />Machetazo - Necrocovered<br />Endless Blockade/ Bastard Noise - The Red List<br />Innumerable Forms - Dark Worship<br />Lycanthrophy/ FUBAR - Doomed to Consume<br />Swarrrm/Atka -Split 7"<br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-style: italic;">Parlamentarisk Sodomi/Blodspurt 7"</span><br /><br /><br />-FUnknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198548564547956151.post-5979555700711457082010-12-01T07:15:00.004+08:002010-12-01T08:00:44.875+08:00Agathocles - This is Not a Threat, It's a Promise<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.metal-archives.com/images/2/8/6/2/286287.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 220px;" src="http://www.metal-archives.com/images/2/8/6/2/286287.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.agathocles.com/">Official Myspace</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Released</span>: Oct 2010<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release Type</span>: Full Length, CD<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Label</span>: <a href="http://selfmadegod.com/">Selfmadegod Records</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Genre</span>: Grindcore<br /><br />Belgium's self-proclaimed "mincecore" perpetrators continue to grind away with their most recent full length <span style="font-style: italic;">This is Not a Threat, It's a Promise</span>. It is surprisingly the only full length release for 2010 (so far... watch them slip one in right as it ends). If there's anything to know about Agathocles it's their prolific back catalog (over 150 releases since 1985). The band itself has become a rite of passage in the world of grindcore, you're no one until you've done a split with Agathocles. A punker attitude than most punk bands, Agathocles always do things their way, and this one's no exception.<br /><br />The thing that turns me off with bands like Unholy Grave and Agathocles is the (what I hope to be) wrongful idea that the band just records every little thought it has, and doesn't know the meaning of 'quality control;' fortunately that isn't the case with <span style="font-style: italic;">The is not a Threat, It's a Promise</span>. Surprisingly diverse, coherent, memorable, vicious, and most importantly enjoyable, <span style="font-style: italic;">This is Not a Threat</span>... quickly establishes itself as a damn good album. Songs like "Cleptocracy" and "Straight Lane" are quintessential grindcore; lightning fast blast beats to surging d-beats and power chords blistering gurgles and screams galore.<br /><br />On the other hand, the curve balls of the record come in "God Save The Real Green Crocodile" and "Aside" as they are both catchy, distinictly 'un-extreme' yet retaining a total 'mincecore' tone. "God Save The Real Green Crocodile" starts witha very 70's punk riff and delves into a ska refrain with clapping, clean vocals and the most ska guitar riff you could think of; strangest of all is how well it works. "Aside" comes a bit later, and like the adforementioned oddity is over 3 minutes as well. The track itself is a midpaced somber one with tendrils of distancing feedback.<br /><br />You don't expect a band like Agathocles to write good full lengths, but here it is. <span style="font-style: italic;">This is Not a Threat<span style="font-style: italic;">, It's a Promise</span></span>, is a violent, mincing album not without a sense of humor and the occasional melodic hook.<br /><br />-FUnknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198548564547956151.post-52282838651708275032010-11-26T09:27:00.010+08:002010-12-19T19:36:53.832+08:00Chainsaw Justice Vol. II- Eastern Bloccore<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.davno.ru/posters/collections/propaganda/img/poster-13.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 413px; height: 282px;" src="http://www.davno.ru/posters/collections/propaganda/img/poster-13.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-size:78%;">I'm pretty sure Lenin's(?) introducing the importance of grinding down the capitalist system to </span><span style="font-size:78%;">that youngster.

This is the second installment of the Chainsaw Justice Volumes. I'm having a lot of fun doing them. Unfortunately good grindcore seems to be hard to find outside of Poland and the Czech Republic, most bands (especially in Russia) play awful go</span><span style="font-size:100%;">regrind. I was tempted to call this comp "Czech out Poland" but decided against it based on the excluding factor. </span>(I know the Czech Republic is more central European , but I wanted to include them, so fuck you).<br /><br />Without further adieu, here's the list of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chainsaw Justice Volume II: Eastern BlocCore</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?urr3lsckb8bzvw9">Download</a><br /><br />1."Prawo"- <a href="http://www.myspace.com/selfhate999">Selfhate</a> (Poland)<br />Poland's answer to Phobia, Selfhate rejoice in thick and buzzy guitars and bring that fine aftertaste of punk into a brutal grindcore sound. Taken from their album <span style="font-style: italic;">At the Beginning God Created Fear</span>, Selfhate establish themselves as a crucial force in Poland's ripe grindcore scene.<br /><br />2. "Birth Cleanliness" -<a href="http://www.myspace.com/idiotsparade666">Idiots Parade</a> (Czech Republic)<br />Making a splash in the states on Scott Hull's crack frenzied baby of a comp, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thiscompkillsfascists"><span style="font-style: italic;">This Comp Kills Fascists 2</span></a> Idiots Parade play a very modern style of power violence with absolutely skin shredding vocals. This is taken from the adformentioned comp; brilliant.<br /><br />3. "News From Pedigree" - <a href="http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=31724">Orchestral Pit's Cannibals</a> (Russia)<br />Oddest band I've come by for this comp by far, and probably oldest too. They play a style of grindcore that sounds really similar to Impetigo, but gets all kind of bizarre (note the duck vocals please-no pig squeals here). Taken from their 1998 debut <span style="font-style: italic;">Exalted Oestrum</span>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/76/l_d0415e205b9ebb73e6c47a0738fa47eb.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 182px;" src="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/76/l_d0415e205b9ebb73e6c47a0738fa47eb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />4. "Kazdy Powod Wystarczajacy" -<a href="http://www.myspace.com/sufferingmind">Suffering Mind</a> (Poland)<br />Making giant steps, Polish grinders Suffering Mind just released their s/t lp this year and boy does it kill. Maybe my inspiration for this comp, Suffering Mind's defiantly the toast of the...country... if that works. Track taken from the self-titled full length.<br /><br />5. "Two-faced Politics" - <a href="http://www.myspace.com/wojtylagrind">Wojtyla</a> (Poland)<br />Wojtyla are just fucking awesome, they're my favorite recent discovery. Maybe there's something in the water, but like Suffering Mind, Wojytla rocks a female vocalist that has some of my favorite vocals I've heard yet. The vocals are very black metalish, and they match perfectly with Wojtyla's super heavy and dark grinding affair. Track taken from their split with Canadian grinders <a href="http://www.myspace.com/archagathus">Archagathus</a>.<br /><br />6. "Rotten Glory" - <a href="http://www.myspace.com/onanizer">Onanizer</a> (Czech Republic)<br />Straight ahead grindcore that got you moving back in '86. Perfect mixture between punk and metal, viscous vocals; all killer-no filler. Taken from their split with UK jokesters <a href="http://joepescigrindcore.blogspot.com/">Joe Pesci</a>.<br /><br />7. "Don't Look a Gift Horse in the Ass" -<a href="http://www.myspace.com/squashbowels">Squash Bowels</a> (Poland)<br />Poland's favorite gore-drenched sons make themselves a mandatory player in this comp with their highly modernized take on Carcass's gory antics of the 80's. Too clean a production to get much of a play from me, they're still worth a listen. Heavy <span style="font-weight: bold;">Grind</span>core that stays away from the putrid aftertaste of many goregrind bands. Track taken from their '09 <a href="http://chainsawjustice.blogspot.com/2009/11/squash-bowels-myspace-release-2009-type.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">Grindvirus</span></a>.<br /><br />8. "Samota" - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_Smoke">Extreme Smoke</a> ( Slovenia)<br />Holding the proud title of "Slovenia's first grindcore band." Playing gruff, lo-fi grindcore all the way from '93 Extreme Smoke are just that, not too hot but deadly if too much is taken in. Track taken from their 3 way split with <a href="http://www.agathocles.com/">Agathocles</a> and Epilepsija.<br /><br />9. "Skřípot" - <a href="http://www.myspace.com/gridecore">Gride</a> (Czech Republic)<br />Bad ass thrash-grind bastards Gride know how to do everything I want. There's thrashy grooves, grindy blasts, punky d-beats, gang vocals, riffs galore, and lyrics in a cool sounding language I can't understand. There's a reason why I kick myself for missing this band at last year's MDF. Track taken from their split with Lycanthrophy.<br /><br />10. "Gore Ne Može" - <a href="http://www.dislikecore.com/">Dislike</a> (Croatia)<br />The former Yugoslavia countries seem to really know how to grind. Dislike, one of the only bands I know of from Croatia play a slick pseudo-death metal style of grindcore. This is from their 2006 demo <span style="font-style: italic;">Ctrl</span>, dunno if anything else exists by this band, hopefully they keep trucking as it's pretty damn good.<br /><br />11. "Queue for Perfectness" -<a href="http://www.myspace.com/lycanthrophy">Lycanthrophy</a> (Czech Republic)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/124/l_f59fcba48fbe45079e6266e77f9ca482.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 188px;" src="http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/124/l_f59fcba48fbe45079e6266e77f9ca482.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Possibly my favorite band here, Lycanthrophy rock a totally authentic and brutal style of power/fast/grind/whatever/core all with a female vocalist of course! Can't get enough of this band. In their 12th year, they've just released their debut LP, something I'm very excited to get my hands on. Track taken from their split with Suffering Domepiece (Mind)<br /><br />12. "Lord of The Shits" <a href="http://www.myspace.com/assgrindsystem">Ass to Mouth</a> (Poland)<br />With more goregrind then you can shake a dead, disfigured, prostitute at, Eastern Europe leaves a lot of shit to sort through (literally!), fortunately, Ass to Mouth are actually good. No lack of pig squeals, blast beats, or an absolutely crushing guitar tone, Ass to Mouth know how to grind and stay away from inane blasting and shit riffs. Taken from their album <span style="font-style: italic;">Kiss Ass</span>.<br /><br />13. "Starec" - <a href="http://www.myspace.com/saywhy">Saywhy?</a> (Czech Republic)<br />Blistering hardcore with male/female vox, how can I lose? Saywhy? know what's up and add a huge touch of punk which works so well. For fans of U.S. power violence/ fastcore bands. Taken from their split with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/bastardass">Bastardass</a>.<br /><br />14. "Wicked faith" - <a href="http://bandzone.cz/but">БУТ</a> (Czech Republic)<br />Reminds me of modern day Napalm Death if they didn't suck and knew how to write riffs and had a badass punky vibe. Track taken from their 2009-2010 promo.<br /><br />15. "Suicidal Philosophy" - <a href="http://www.myspace.com/needfulthingsgrindcore">Needful Things</a> (Czech Republic)<br />If you thought the Czech Republic only had awesome beer and sausages, I hope this comp helped change that; especially with the final contributor. Similar to bands like In Disgust who tread a line between death metal, grindcore, and power violence. Needful Things don't need shit, they're awesome the way they are. Track taken from their split with <a href="http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=44353">G</a><a href="http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=44353">enital Gore</a>.<br /><br />A lot of fun to do this, and eye opening as to how goddamn fruitful the Czech Republic is when it comes to grindcore. I hope you enjoyed this, await Vol. III due sometime around Christmas(sacre).<span style="font-size:78%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/%7Ehatch/images/europe/berlin.buildwall.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 457px; height: 356px;" src="http://www.cs.utah.edu/%7Ehatch/images/europe/berlin.buildwall.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/%7Ehatch/images/europe/berlin.buildwall.jpg"><br /></a></div><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?urr3lsckb8bzvw9">Download</a><br />-F</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198548564547956151.post-72275281655264039762010-11-24T06:50:00.007+08:002010-12-14T01:33:23.108+08:00Swarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm / ATKA<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DG3ApT-TwHA/TOxJSaVoeCI/AAAAAAAAALM/FJi37KiWRhk/s1600/ER_169_split_EP_FRONT.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DG3ApT-TwHA/TOxJSaVoeCI/AAAAAAAAALM/FJi37KiWRhk/s200/ER_169_split_EP_FRONT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542885822042765346" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/atkametal">Atka Myspace</a> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/swarrrmofficial">Swarrrm Myspace</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Released</span>: Autumn 2010<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release Type</span>: Split, 7"<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Label</span>:Ecocentric Records<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Genre</span>:Experimental Grindcore<br /><br />A match made in a mental hospital, German tech-grind wizards Atka pair up with Japanese bizzaro grind masters for this 11 minute blastapiece. Seriously, I wonder if being schizophrenic is as off the wall as these two bands; each one displaying an eccentric and extremely different take on grindcore pushed past its sanity.<br /><br />Atka cover every possible inch of their side with their noodlely, technically drenched and Dillinger Escape Plan loving track "untitled." The first minute's unrecognizable from the last, and yet it all works. I hate gimmicky technical shit, so thankfully this ain't it. The high-point of song is the last minute in a half which sounds straight out of Murray and Smith's playbook but jumbled with blast beats and varied vocals. Here's a<a href="http://handmedownexistence.tumblr.com/post/2302083527/atka-untitled-from-swarrrm-atka-split-out-on"> </a><a href="http://handmedownexistence.tumblr.com/post/2302083527/atka-untitled-from-swarrrm-atka-split-out-on">snippit</a> of the song.<br /><br />A different kind of crazy is what Swarrrm <span style="font-style: italic;">always</span> is. "Maborosi" is a ballad a'la typical Swarrrm (i.e. pretty acoustic guitar paired to gibberish vocals which washout in an avalanche of drums and distortion). "Kono ude ni" is a great track, the best of the split. As always fantastic shifts from artsy/melodic riffs to pummeling blast beats and jazzy sections of harmony between the guitars and bass. Swarrrm still continues to be the most dynamic, powerful and interesting grind band out there; shame on you if you've never heard them before.<br /><br /><div><embed style="display: inline;" quality="high" wmode="transparent" id="FlashDiv" flashvars="songId=73720855&pid=387031740830777789" allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://lads.myspace.com/Embeds/SongEmbed/SongEmbed.swf" height="77" width="400"></embed></div><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Here's that ballad to sooth yourself to sleep<br /><br /></span></span>Don't question your sanity listening to this, question the sanity of those who refuse to listen.

The band reminds me strongly of Belgium's Aborted, their first album anyway; but beyond that comparisons are few for me. Sewn Shut's one of the few bands where death-grind actually fits. Blast-beat bouts come to groovy transitions and double bass romps that would get your local crew floor punching in no time. The lowly gurgles foil the sky scratching screams which allows some room for the throaty, wet mid-ranged rasps. There's a welcomed touch of technicality that heightens the death metal vibe, not to mention some sweet pinch harmonics.<br /><br />One thing that really gets me hooked is their rhythmic attack. It's hard to describe, but it's like a rocking chair, or when you're headbanging and the sound comes and goes because of your motion. The drums crash at every quarter and the guitar plays an ascending melody, then starts over. It's pretty gnarly. You'll have to hear it yourself.<br /><br />The release itself is a compilation of all their work leading up to 2005 (except their first ep and the split with Unholy Grave). That means<i>: </i>splits with<i> </i>Squash Bowels, Embalming Theatre, Ulcerrhoea, Mind Collage, Man In Shackles and three additional tracks taken from "Polar Grinder" LP). The only thing post <span style="font-style: italic;">Rediscovering</span>... is a split with Nashgul that's quite good as well. Odd how many great, or well received bands they've done splits with, but how relatively unknown they are.<br /><br />Anywho, if you like stomach churning, heavy, and dark grindcore that knows how to properly groove then I can't recommend Sewn Shut enough.<br /><br />Here's a <a href="http://rapidshare.com/#%21download%7C546tl3%7C227327101%7CSewn_Shut_-_Rediscovering_The_Dead.rar%7C49572">taste</a> (samples are very hard to come by, 2 tracks on youtube, no proper myspace, etc).<br />Link taken from <a href="http://brutalzone.blogspot.com/search?q=sewn+shut">Brutal Zone</a><br /><br />-FUnknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198548564547956151.post-84205432317910005752010-10-27T06:50:00.006+08:002010-10-27T21:56:33.499+08:00Sakatat/Dispepsiaa Split<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh217/tngtbr/sakatatsplit-1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 479px; height: 359px;" src="http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh217/tngtbr/sakatatsplit-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/sakatat">Sakatat Myspace</a> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/brutalgrindcore">Dispepsiaa Myspace</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Released</span>: 2010<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release Type</span>: split 7" wax only<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Label</span>: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/bringerofgore">Bringer of Gore Records<br /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Genre</span>: Grindcore<br /><br />Sakatat and Dispepsiaa are a modern day explosion of grindcore that’s shrugged off the past 20 years of recording technology and happen to be the best surprise in awhile for me. Heavy grindcore played for heavy dudes (and dudettes).<br /><p class="MsoNormal">I think Sakatat’s the first band I’ve ever heard from Turkey, strange huh? Good place to start I guess because these guys absolutely rip. With six splits under their belts and numerous tours in Europe I’d expect them to get snatched up quite quick like by one of those overseers of grindcore (Earache, Willotip, Relapse, etc). Stomach churning grunts, machine gun blast beats, dizzying moments of tension and breakout d-beats and shrieks makes up their approach. Songs are all about the trip, no 2 minute blast beats, there's actual writing here.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div><embed style="" quality="'high'" wmode="'transparent'" id="'FlashDiv'" flashvars="'songId=" pid="-5197760118440619098'" allowscriptaccess="'always'" src="%27http://lads.myspace.com/Embeds/SongEmbed/SongEmbed.swf%27" height="'77'/" width="'400'"></embed></div><a href="http://www.myspace.com/music/3138341/songs/72274294/?ap=1&sms_ss=blogger&at_xt=4cc75c5751543526,0">Adım Adım Elerki by SAKATAT</a><p></p><div><div><p> </p></div><br /></div>The songs maintain a catchy kinda quality that's more about rhythm and quick shifts in vocals and riffs, a very punk nod.There’s a Sore Throat cover that’s pretty good, they manage to make it shorter by 40 seconds, which is like half a Sore Throat album right? <p class="MsoNormal">Brazil’s Dispepsiaa (consisting of members from Rot) strikes fire right away with a very “Suffer the Children” beginning to “Falsa Realidade” and burns straight through with 5 other songs which all clock in just under 6 minutes. I love everything about this band; the guitar has that really flat low tone, the bass is just a monstrous rumble, the drums are perfect (the mid paced blast beats with hi-hat on quarters possess a hypnotic quality; a rarity in grindcore) and the dynamic vocals are a much appreciated homage to Vane/Jones.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.myspace.com/music/556390/songs/11832588/?ap=1&sms_ss=blogger&at_xt=4cc75c76c1855e8a,0">Anormal? by Dispepsiaa</a></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div><embed style="" quality="'high'" wmode="'transparent'" id="'FlashDiv'" flashvars="'songId=" pid="-5197760118440619098'" allowscriptaccess="'always'" src="%27http://lads.myspace.com/Embeds/SongEmbed/SongEmbed.swf%27" height="'77'/" width="'400'"></embed></div><p></p><div> </div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Example of those hypno-beats</span></span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">As their side progresses it seems to just get heavier and heavier until we hit “Algemas Da Bibila” which stands at some kind of heaviness zenith with its pummeling breakdown and final blast-beat.

This is two bands who are trying their hardest to replicate the noise of a steam roller strapped with a hundred jet engines running over miles of glass and bodies; this is defiantly a good way to

like gravy and fries, not the first thing you think of pairing with the other, but it makes perfect sense. In Disgust’s style of unyielding angrier-than-thou grind starts off the split leading to PLF’s Terrorizereque mosh grind.</div> <p class="MsoNormal">Feedback fills the voids in between the Disgusting jams, alluding to a kind of <a href="http://chainsawjustice.blogspot.com/2009/09/against-grain-magrudergrind-st.html">authenticity 206 preached</a> awhile back, and that’s something you’ll always get with this band. The production’s heavy, the guitar actually sounds like a shredder and the bass hits you like a billy club. There’s the typical In Disgust song structure, punk drum beat and coarse vocals, quick measure shift to blast beats with higher shrieks, it gets to a point where you can sit there and cue perfectly when the blast beats are due. I suppose it comes off as a knock, but it’s not; In Disgust’s style is what it is and I love it. Along with the punk beat- blast beat jumps there’s great gasps of breakdowns, and groove sections that play to In Disgust’s heaviness and brutality. Angry as ever, and thankfully short and sweet, In Disgust prove 3 years later they still have it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">PLF’s side is of a similar thread of quality. A much more traditional metal production, the guitar’s more muddied and nothing’s too loud or low. Within tracks PLF could trick you into thinking it’s a separate one (listen to “Thinly Veiled Collusion” at 0:38 and 0:54 it sounds like it could jump into another song) which might just be contrast with In Disgust’s typically shorter times and PLF’s “lengthy” songs. I myself never cared for PLF’s recorded material (could never make it through <i style="">Complete Grindcore Annihilation</i>), but once seeing them live I “got it,” as these songs are dynamic when given their short time frame and contain some great riffs and transitions, not to mention mosh friendly sections. There’s a Krullur cover that ends the split, although I thought a Krullur was just a donut, I guess I’m wrong (it's just as tasty though).</p><p class="MsoNormal">Buy it <a

particular theme. For the first installment I figured I should do one that has to do with grindcore and its roots. I’d like to say all the bands contributed to grindcore history, or metal history, but some of these I think are just relics of their time (regardless if they’re good or not).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?0ka015t930wglnd">Chainsaw Justice Vol. I -Olde Timey Grindcore</a><br /><p class="MsoNormal">I started in 84, I think the latest I’ve gone is 1990. This was actually really fun to undertake, especially listening to laughable junk that for some reason I actually liked (Deadlock’s one of them). So brace yourself, I’ve chosen to include a lot of demo material from bands and I hope I show you something new. It’s no surprise this is mostly US/UK based(although Japan has quite a presence).<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"> It seems the 1987 becomes the focus of this list.1987’s an obvious choice, ENT’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Peel Sessions</span>, Napalm Death’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Scum</span>, S.O.B’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Leave me Alone</span>, Sore Throat’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Death to Capitalist Hardcore</span>, Carcass’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment</span> and numerous demos. I’d like to say Genocide’s (Repulsion’s) 2<sup>nd</sup> demo, <span style="font-style: italic;">Violent Death</span> exemplifies the first instance of grindcore as we know it (I haven’t heard pre <span style="font-style: italic;">Scum</span> Napalm Death, but I’ve heard it’s not really like <span style="font-style: italic;">Scum</span>) and that was 1985. The playlist I’ve given is in a rough chronological order (I’ve only paid attention to year).<span style=""> </span>Beyond that I hope you all enjoy.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Interestingly enough, going by <a href="http://metal-archives.com/">Metal Archives</a> (a site which claims to carry only metal, so bands like Sore Throat and Siege aren’t present) shows that in 1984 there was only one release dubbed as grindcore, Genocide’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Toxic Metal</span> demo. Another issue that arises with this method is that bands that might have developed into a grindcore band, or shifted styles are still listed; even if they were a Christian rock band in 85, but did grindcore in 96, so take that into account as well. In 1985 we see 8 releases, only 1 of which is a full length (Rose Rose’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Emotional Disturbance</span> which is really a hardcore punk release). 1986 we see 18 releases, 1987: 29, 1988: 42, 1989: 69, and 1990 there’s 114. For perspective’s sake in 1995 there’s only 212 releases that year and at 2000 there are 358. Unfortunately this leaves out a lot of the power violence/fastcore bands of the 90’s which might have been considered grindcore or whatever. And at 2009 we had 606 releases (8 of which belong to Agathocles alone!). It’s been an odd 20 whatever years for grindcore, for such a short passionate and burning style you’d think the adage “the flame that burns twice as bright lasts half as long” would stand true here, but with technology and the dedicated fanbase grindcore seems to be a staple in the extreme music world.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Here's the play list and quick rundown of each band.</p><p class="MsoNormal">1. "Cold War" - Siege - <span style="font-style: italic;">Drop Dead </span>- 1984<span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Classic as classic gets in the world of punk and grindcore. Cited by all the big names as their influence, <span style="font-style: italic;">Dropdead</span> stands to be one of the most important (and also great) releases of the extreme music world. Miles ahead of other hardcore acts at the time, <span style="font-style: italic;">Drop Dead</span> was the fastest and harshest thing around.</p><p class="MsoNormal">2. "Horrified" - Genocide <span style="font-style: italic;">Violent Death</span> - 1985</p><p class="MsoNormal">Repulsion before they were Repulsion. Everyone should know the name of the song as it's the title of one of the most important and best grindcore records ever. <a href="http://www.decibelmagazine.com/hall-of-fame/repulsion/">Don't just take my word for it</a>. I'd say this is the first real example of grindcore. Blast beats juxtaposed with punk beats, so it's not just a crust beat. The riffing's total grindcore- simple sped up thrash riff, that distorted bass tone and Scott Carlson's half hardcore half prototypical death metal vocals.</p><p class="MsoNormal">3. "Evil Mayhemic" - Deadlock -<span style="font-style: italic;">Deadly Intention demo</span> 1986<br /></p> I don't really know what to say about this. It's a demo, so I won't be too harsh, but jesus christ it sounds like they just learned how to play their instruments a couple of days ago. To be fair the riffs aren't that bad (first sounds like sloppier Hellhammer), just poorly played and I have no idea why it's 3 minutes long (others were longer; I've spared you). Blast beats, simple tremolo riffs and maniacal shrieking vocals. This is the Deadlock from Nuremberg- apparently they just faded out of existence.<br /><br />4. "Knock Out" - S.O.B - <span style="font-style: italic;">Leave me Alone</span> - 1986<br /><br />Another Siege like band. Obscure in America, (and the west for the most part) yet extremely influential in the development of grindcore and hardcore. Next to GISM, S.O.B's one of Japan's most important bands in the extreme music scene. Quite big now, but at the time they were only known to the underground and gained exposure due to Napalm Death and eventually a session with John Peel. From their first release, "Knock Out" is blistering hardcore, but if it had been produced heavier could easily pass as grindcore; chosen for it's bridging quality.<br /><br />5. "Never Healed" - Heresy - <span style="font-style: italic;">Never Healed Flexi</span> - 1986<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Never Healed</span> shows the pioneering style of hardcore that's just about grindcore. Searing blast beats, quick shouted vocals, and hardcore riffs sped up as fast as they'll go; I picked it just for this reason, to show the bridge between hardcore and grindcore.<br /><br />6. "Divine Death" - Napalm Death - <span style="font-style: italic;">Scum</span> - 1987<br /><br />I don't need to say anything about this except maybe my reason for picking it. I've picked it 1. because the B side of <span style="font-style: italic;">Scum</span> has them playing in a metal tunning, showcasing a real shift from punk to metal and 2. The structure is quintessential early grindcore, not abusing the blast beat and trying to figure out how to make the song last longer than a minute and 3. the shrieked vocals and deep growls are exemplary of metal, where as the grunts are more hardcore.<br /><br />7. "Carry On Screaming" - Extreme Noise Terror - <span style="font-style: italic;">Peel Sessions</span> - 1987<br /><br />Like Napalm Death, I shouldn't have to say much about the band's significance. This song shows an anomaly of ENT's style as they use a sustained blast beat and move away from their typical d-beats of the time, yet the guitars are playing a typical punk riff.<br /><br />8. "Psychopathologist" - Carcass - Fleshripping Sonic Torment - 1987<br /><br />Pretty much the cue for gore-grind, <span style="font-style: italic;">Fleshripping Sonic Torment</span> was eventually reworked into their first album. Downtuned and messy guitars, blast beats galore, demoinc echoing vocals- a huge jump from punk.<br /><br />9. "Implosion" - Regurgitation - <span style="font-style: italic;">Bathroom's Rule </span>- 1987<br /><br />Later known as O.L.D, Regurgitation showcase an actually well recorded demo that shows few traces of punk. Heavy sounding, lots of reverb, a very metal solo and the vocals show this, along with Carcass, as the formation of a more death metal influenced grind. The riff around the end shows this for sure. This demo's surprisingly good.<br /><br />10. "Benedictions" - Terrorizer - <span style="font-style: italic;">Nightmares</span> - 1987<br /><br />Interesting mix of punk riffs and drum beats which jump to really metal riffs. Feels a lot like a proto-death metal band, who is jsut playing thrash, but added blastbeats making it more grinding. Bad, but listenable production. The basslines are as thrash as thrash gets. The guitar tone and song structure really solidify this as metal, bending the punkness of grindcore to their standards.<br /><br />11. "Vac Head" - Sore Throat - <span style="font-style: italic;">Death To Capitalist Grindcore</span> (Bootleg, but same material) -1987<br /><br />A lot more innovtive then I think they ever intended to be, Sore Throat begins the trend of lots of short songs, often a simple measure. Along with structure, the hypercritical and "fuck you" attitude, not to mention the humor of the band would be seen in countless bands after, both grindcore and hardcore (Insect Warfare's S/T, The Locust, Agorophobic Nosebleed,etc). The noisey sections of feedback, clips, and random sections seem to be the root of "noisecore" bands of the present.<br /><br />12. "The Day Of Doom" - Deathpeed - <span style="font-style: italic;">Possessed By Speed Demo</span> - 1988<br /><br />Another Japanese act, Deathpeed was a short lived project of now Unholy Grave singer. I actually love everything I've found by the band. Songs tend to be long (this one's 5 minutes) and are written in a very modern kind of way. The thrashy/d-beat beginning which jumps to a very metal blast beat and guitar solo. The riffing throughout jumps from hardcore to a very contemporary death metal style. It's really interesting. I like it more then the 3 Unholy Grave releases I've heard. Reminds me of modern day Effigy, I don't think it's just because they're both Japanese.<br /><br />13. "Born Backwards" - Assuck - <span style="font-style: italic;">Born Backwards</span> - 1988<br /><br />Assuck's one of the greatest metal bands ever. Okay, that aside, this demo isn't that good. The production's atrocious which pretty much hampers every other aspect. Beyond that this is totally metal, just faster death metal. Interesting to see Assuck like this.<br /><br />14. "The Colour of Blood" - Nuclear Death - Bride of Insect - 1990<br /><br />Really great track, totally grindcore with a very thrashy vibe. The vocals remind me a lot Vio-Lence and Dark Angel (in fact the main riff sounds like "The Burning of Sodom" off <span style="font-style: italic;">Darkness Descends</span>). I think there's a cult following of this band, but it'd seem as they're largely forgotten.<br /><br />Apparently berevity isn't my strong point, but I'll spare you for Vol. II.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?0ka015t930wglnd">Download</a><br /><br />-FUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198548564547956151.post-77909255081899326222010-10-18T06:42:00.002+08:002010-10-18T07:23:12.464+08:00Machetazo- Necrocovered<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.metal-archives.com/images/2/6/5/7/265760.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 304px;" src="http://www.metal-archives.com/images/2/6/5/7/265760.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.machetazo.org/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Official Site</span></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Released</span>: 2010<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Labels</span>:<a href="http://parasiticrecords.blogspot.com/">Parasitic Records</a> (USA), <a href="http://www.livingdeadsociety.com/">Living Dead Society</a> (Spain)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release Type</span>: 10" lmt 500, MCD<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Genre</span>: Various, tribute.<br /><br />I've been waiting for this one awhile as it was announced in the spring and now Parasitic Records has finally unveiled it.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Necrocovered</span> is much like Napalm Death's <span style="font-style: italic;">Leaders not Followers</span> albums; it's just covers. That said, what makes <span style="font-style: italic;">Necrocovered</span> so great and interesting is the cast of guest vocalists. You can see with the guests as well as the tracks Machetazo covers a wide range of genres. From sludge (Corrupted), black metal (Darkthrone), thrash (Kreator and Carnivore), punk (Septic Death) and death metal (Obituary and Master), almost all bases are <span style="font-style: italic;">covered</span> (ha!). Not only is it fun to listen to, but I can't imagine how fun this was to put together; I can only hope that they met up and didn't do this by sending respective sections to some studio.<br /><br />Here's the lineup as well as tracks:<br /><br />1. "Sex and violence" (Carnivore), lead vocals by Chris Reifert (Abscess/Autopsy).<br />2. "Pay to die" (Master), lead vocals by Johan Wallin (General Surgery).<br />3. "Skald Av Satans Sol" (Darkthrone), lead vocals by Skrappar (Lobotomized).<br />4. "Tormentor" (Kreator), lead vocals by Kam Lee (Bone Gnawer/Death/Massacre).<br />5. "Arrastrándose sólo" (Corrupted), lead vocals by Tim Call (Aldebaran).<br />6. "Demon" (Septic Death) / "Dying" (Obituary), lead vocals by Santi (Nashgul).<i><br /></i><br /> While they're not stretches, and don't sound awkward, they're outside of Machetazo's immediate sphere of grindcore which is another reason why this is so cool. They handle all songs perfectly, as they're respectful of the orignial, but at the same time interested in making it their own, not mention adding in a particular vocalist for each one.<br /><br />The delicate balance between homage and replication is tough with some bands as I never see the reason to do a cover that sounds identical to the original, but at the same time taking the original expanding it to something unrecognizable is just as uninteresting. Like I said, there's a good balance to be found here.<br /><br />The tracks themselves are all great. My personal favorite is the Master cover, simply because I think it fits their style best and Johan Wallin sounds downright evil. I'm also a sucker for something this heavy to have d-beats. "Sex and Violence" has the necessary whistle and Reifert does an excellent job fitting in with the up-beat hardcore-ish song. "Skald Av Satans Sol" might be better than the original only because I hate the fucking production on that Darkthrone album. "Tormentor" is practically turned into a grind song with an ample dose of speed.<br /><br />The Corrupted cover is maybe the most faithful of the bunch, I was very excited to hear a grind band play sludge, but as it turns out they sound pretty much like Corrupted, just a better mixing job (Tim Call sounds exactly like Hevi which is a bit scary). Because of its faithfulness, I find this to be the weakest of the EP (not to mention I never thought much of that Corrupted song). The Obituary/Septic Death mashup is most <span id="hotword"><span style="cursor: default; background-color: transparent;" id="hotword" name="hotword">ambitious undertaking of the EP, and it works perfectly</span></span>. Santi's voice is perfect for this track. While it wouldn't be my first pick of a Septic Death song to cover, after listening I can see why they picked it. The fun pick up and go style of the song just begs for blast beats.<br /><br />Well worth the wait.<br /><br />Check it out <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ba7k1t4idpbylle">here</a>, buy it <a href="http://parasiticrecords.blogspot.com/">here</a> or <a href="http://www.livingdeadsociety.com/">here</a>.<br /><br />-F<br /><i><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /></span></i>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2
