Gränslandet are a hardcore band from Sweden. This is their debut album.
This is 41 minutes of filthy hardcore that combines d-beat, crust and sludge together into a grime-covered mass of aural pollution.
The band have the kind of production that sounds as if they’ve been dragged out of the swamp, kicking and clawing into the sunlight. Raw, underground and filthy doesn’t quite cover it in many ways. Continue reading “Gränslandet – Solidum (Review)”
Nuisible are a blackened hardcore band from France. This is their debut album.
Inter Feces et Urinam Nascimur sort of sounds like what would happen if Darkthrone embraced a love of Scandinavian d-beat and produced one massively pissed off record. Add in some elements of crusty death metal and grindcore and you have 23 minutes of red-hot anger. Continue reading “Nuisible – Inter Feces et Urinam Nascimur (Review)”
Martyrdöd are a hardcore band from Sweden. This is their sixth album.
2014’s Elddop was an enjoyable smashing of hardcore, punk, crust, d-beat and metal. List continues this tradition, providing us with a condensed 36 minutes of furious battering. Continue reading “Martyrdöd – List (Review)”
Ion Dissonance are a Canadian hardcore/mathcore band. This is their fifth album.
As one of the leading lights in the hardcore/mathcore/whatever scene, Ion Dissonance’s new album certainly has a lot of expectations attached to it. Of course, as you would expect, the band Continue reading “Ion Dissonance – Cast the First Stone (Review)”

Vermin Womb are a blackened sludge/grind band form the US. This is their debut album.

On Permanence Vermin Womb channelled the destructive essence Continue reading “Vermin Womb – Decline (Review)”

This is the twelfth edition of the UK’s Damnation Festival, and although it may be cold outside, inside there’s more than enough incendiary metal to heat things up. Hopefully the recent preview whetted your appetite, and now it’s time to see how the real thing turned out…
It’s with great excitement and expectation that I await Attan’s arrival. From Nothing is such a colossal opening statement for a band that I can’t wait to see how it translates into the live environment. Continue reading “Damnation Festival – Leeds University, 05/11/16 (Live Review)”

Politically-charged UK hardcore heavyweights Razor Sharp Death Blizzard not only have one of the best monikers recently heard, but also produce one Hellishly good racket. Brutally catchy and surprisingly nuanced, their debut album You Will Burn is an adrenaline shot of controlled chaos and focused destruction.
Vocalist Jamie Clark took time out from fronting this savage beast to get a grilling on what the band are all about…
Razor Sharp Death Blizzard are Jamie on vocals, Daz on guitar, Graham on bass and Liam on drums. Continue reading “Interview with Razor Sharp Death Blizzard”
