This is the debut album from US grindcore band The Drip.
The band’s 2014 EP A Presentation of Gruesome Poetics was a brief glimpse into the world of The Drip and what they were capable of. I said in the review that the EP bodes well for a future album release and that they were ones to watch. Well, after a longer wait than Continue reading “The Drip – The Haunting Fear of Inevitability (Review)”
Prisoner 639 are from Belgium and play grinding powerviolence. They have teamed up for this split with Dutch sludge band Throw Me in the Crater.
Prisoner 639 get things going in a slow-burning fashion, opening up with lots of noise, distortion and feedback. Before long some drums and bass enter the fray, producing grim sludgy sounds. After a couple of minutes of this the Continue reading “Prisoner 639/Throw Me in the Crater – Split (Review)”
Limbs Bin is a one-man US grindcore/noise band. This is his second album.
Okay, well, this is gloriously fucked up. In under five minutes Bliss Tech reveals itself to be a chaotic and anarchic blend of powerviolence, electronics and digital hardcore. Continue reading “Limbs Bin – Bliss Tech (Review)”
Vermin Womb are a blackened sludge/grind band form the US. This is their debut album.
Due to my love of their first EP Permanence, as well as all things Primitive Man and Clinging to the Trees of a Forest Fire, (who they share members with), this release has been highly anticipated by yours truly.
On Permanence Vermin Womb channelled the destructive essence Continue reading “Vermin Womb – Decline (Review)”
Insect Death is a one-man grindcore band from the US.
A member of Chalice of Suffering has unleashed this small, short gem of a grind release. It’s brutally concise and an utterly vicious little beast.
The fact that the band name, (and logo), is a combination of Insect Warfare and Napalm Death should tell you a lot about this.
So, this is grindcore that owes a debt to Continue reading “Insect Death – Perpetuating Idiocy (Review)”

Grossty are an Indian grindcore band and this is their debut album.
Oh yeah! It’s always fun to hear a band that take a standard style and mutate it with their own passionate interpretation, and Grossty do exactly that with the short-bouts-of-violence grindcore template.
Featuring 21 tracks in just under 21 minutes, this may be short but Continue reading “Grossty – Crocopter (Review)”
This is the debut EP from UK grindcore band Unyielding Love.
Unyielding Love play ultra-extreme dark, blackened grindcore, and they sound pissed. This is noisy and littered with feedback and chaotic delivery.
Mix Discordance Axis, Nails, Full of Hell, thekevorkiansolution and Labrat together and you’ll be in the right filthy area. Continue reading “Unyielding Love – The Sweat of Augury (Review)”
Six-Score are an Austrian Grindcore band, and this is their second album.
This is modern-edged grind with plenty of aggression and attitude.
Hardcore and punk influences can be heard alongside quite a few d-beat and crust ones, all mixed in with some metal and grinding ferocity. The parts that are injected with more d-beat and punk stylings are quite energetic, Continue reading “Six-Score – Lebensräume (Review)”
This is a split between two Canadian grindcore bands – Existench and Deboned.
First up we have Existench, with just under 7 minutes of intensity.
This is old-school grind that takes no prisoners and just wants to rampage. With punk intent and hardcore ferocity, Existench rage through these short songs with the assured confidence of a predator that knows its kill is near. Continue reading “Existench/Deboned – Split (Review)”
