This is the third album by Russian grindcore band Byonoisegenerator.
Jazzgrind, eh? Okay, I’ll bite. Subnormal Dives brings together, as advertised, the worlds of grindcore and jazz. It’s aggressive and dense, and Byonoisegenerator make a splash with the 23-minute free form savagery that is Subnormal Dives. Continue reading “Byonoisegenerator – Subnormal Dives (Review)”
This is the latest EP from US grindcore band Full of Hell.
A new 15 minutes of Full of Hell‘s scathingly charismatic grindcore? Hell yes! Broken Sword, Rotten Shield is a compendium of different influences, all brought together with the band’s consummate skill into seven adventurous tracks. It’s harsh, but delightful. Continue reading “Full of Hell – Broken Sword, Rotten Shield (Review)”

This is the debut album from US grindcore band No Heroes.
Now here’s an interesting release. Brood Eternal was created over the course of a decade, and mixes together elements of black metal, sludge, hardcore, grindcore, and noise. Yep, No Heroes, (who feature a member of Ashbringer), play a grim hybrid style, and I frequently end up really liking bands that throw all kinds of influences like this into a melting pot to end up with something really dark and nasty. Let’s have a taste then. Continue reading “No Heroes – Brood Eternal (Review)”

This is the second album from Turkish death metallers Diabolizer.
2021’s Khalkedonian Death was a very enjoyable slab of devastatingly effective death metal. Murderous Revelations continues Diabolizer’s ascent, delivering a crushing 39-minute feast of classic death metal butchery. Continue reading “Diabolizer – Murderous Revelations (Review)”
This is the debut album from Italian grinders Horrid Human Condition.
Perpetual Imbalance contains 14 songs across 28 minutes. Horrid Human Condition waste little time in unleashing their mix of crust, punk, and grindcore. Only three tracks break the two-minute mark, so you know you’re in for an album of rage and violence. Continue reading “Horrid Human Condition – Perpetual Imbalance (Review)”

This is the third album from French deathgrinders Putrid Offal.
Wow, has it really been ten years since 2015’s Mature Necropsy? That’s depressing. Less depressing is that we have a new Putrid Offal album to ease the terrible passage of time. With 35 minutes of new material, Obliterated Life is a wrecking ball of deathgrind nastiness. Continue reading “Putrid Offal – Obliterated Life (Review)”
This is the third album from US death metallers Pissgrave.
Malignant Worthlessness contains 31 minutes of foul death metal extremity. It’s intense and brutal, but not delivered without skill. For all the rampant aggression and disgusting brutality on display, Pissgrave also know how to write a death metal song that hits the spot.
