Siberian Hell Sounds are from Australia and play black metal/blackened hardcore. This is their latest EP.
This is 18 minutes of blackened intensity and underground rage. Taking the basic imprint of black metal and running it through the grinder, Siberian Hell Sounds have poured hardcore and grindcore influences liberally over themselves so that their black metal is as abusive and contagious as possible.

Zeit are an Italian hardcore band and this is their latest EP.
It seems like only yesterday that 2015’s The World Is Nothing tore into the world with their brand of dissonant, violent Hardcore. The band are now back with a new EP, consisting of three originals and an At the Gates cover. It’s 11 minutes of intensity. Continue reading “Zeit – Monument (Review)”
Cowards are a blackened hardcore band from France and this is their latest EP.
I do so very much enjoy the work of Cowards. Their last album, 2015’s Rise to Infamy, was a tight ball of violent blackened extremity filled with hardcore’s passion and sludge’s ugly heaviness. Still continues this theme, boasting three new tracks and two covers. This is 19 minutes of music guaranteed to stop you in your tracks and then hit you around the head. Continue reading “Cowards – Still (Review)”
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.
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)”
