Ape Unit – Turd

Grindcore is dragging on its last legs.  Scratch that, it didn’t have any legs over the past ten years, it was a mere torso with arms.  Now those arms are gone, and it’s ground its lower half into so many surfaces it’s about up to its neck, close to the brain, where it can finally […]

Pink Mass – Slvt Kvlt

We went on a bit of a tirade against grindcore on Facebook the other day, and it was justified.  Grindcore over the past decade has sunk into a swamp of humor in order to hide terrible musicianship.  You’re probably laughing we used the word “musicianship” within this discussion, but seriously, we can’t take it anymore. […]

The Kill – Kill Them…All

The Kill – Kill Them…All

Typically, especially over the past five years, any time we’ve received a promo from a band that labels itself “grindcore”, it’s practically already set to become kindling, a Goodwill donation that sits there for years, or something just to destroy and take one’s anger out on in a time of need.  Seriously, rule of thumb, […]

Bastinado – Worship Fetish

Bastinado – Worship Fetish

When this one first came in we didn’t think much of it, in fact we did a check on the internet and came up with some weirdo dance/house duo that plays with blocks and ripped off Oogie Boogie’s face from The Nightmare Before Christmas for a live set.  Seriously, click on that link and explore. “Groan…really,” […]

Boddicker – Crime Upheaval

It’s too bad this cassette is sold out and anyone who now wants to listen to it has to resort to, pfff, digital.  Boddicker, get with the times.  Listen, anything like has to be listened to on at least vinyl or cassette.  It can’t be any other way, especially since they use Detroit as an […]

Pivixki – Gravissima

Always wondered what something like this would sound like, and trust us, we’ve heard plenty of people saying they did it.  “Here it is,” they say, “we’ve made metal with a piano.”  But it’s never worked.  It’s sounded pretentious, overly-wrought, and frankly lacking in the essence of what metal is: power.  Without that, don’t even […]

Siege: Lost Session 91

Don’t know Siege?  Get out of here, go back to listening to Scum with the corrected track list.  Often billed as one of the first hardcore, grindcore bands, sometimes powerviolence bands, for genre snobs, Siege were way ahead of their time, regardless of your selection at the musical buffet.  Even today, listening to the awesome Relapse […]

Grind-O-Matic: Flower Power

Saltine crackers. They taste great up until the halfway through the package and then you are left with a dry mouth and desperately need some water. They’re like the band Grind-O-matic; good up until midway through and then you need something else. Grind-O-matic are a three-piece grindcore band out of France and with the release […]

Sloth Herder: Abandon Pop Sensibility

Funny story about Frederick, MD.  The reviewer who is penning this review here happens to be doing research for a novel partially based on a true story, part of which involves a man shooting his wife through the heart, who was originally from Frederick, like really, that part’s completely true.  After he killed her, and […]
