EMPEROR: IX EQUALIBRIUM CD
this album is fucking amazing, i've been waiting a while for it to come out and it was worth every second of it. this is thee greatest black metal album of all time, despite it's having more death metal structures and elements to it. it's got beutifull operatic vocals that only they seem to be able to pull off well, it's like a metal symphony, the riffs are not metallic they're classical, run through distortion. this is ground breaking shit.
EMPEROR VS. THORNS CD
this was shocking at first but i've grown quite fond of it, it's emperor and thorns doing industrial/techno/neo classical versions of well known emperor songs, and it's a great standalone album, but for emperor nuts like me it's an added bonus to hear all the different ways you can translate this music. worth it.
DECEMBER WOLVES: COMPLETELY DEHUMANIZED CD
this band is actually from very close to me, my friend chad knows them and showed me a video from their black metal days, when they were an incredibly boring band, then they overnight went death metal and started kicking ass, this cd is really fucking good, the only thing i'd lose are the samples, they sound cheesy but the music and vocals are outstanding, which is probably what got them signed to the earache subsidiary wicked world. this band is going to get really big.
DESPISE YOU: WEST SIDE HORIZONS
holy fucking shit this is finnaly out, i've been waiting for the unreleased songs on this for 3 years now, this cd includes everything they ever had out plus the 15 songs from the failed despise you/man is the bastard split lp, plus an extra song. this is one of thee greatest bands of all time, you cannot fuck with despise you, bludgeoning hate core/grind ass kicking, extremely hate filled sound, buy it.
NILE: FESTIVALS OF ATONEMENT CD
this is nile's first cd which they appear to have put out themselves as i see no label name anywhere, it is fucking good too, obviously not as fast as the new shit but all the elements are there, ultra triggered bass drum, middle eastern sequencer parts, low low guitars and vocals. this is alot more sludgy than the rest of their stuff, not to say it doesn't blast in parts, but it's definately got more slower parts. good shit.
VONDUR:STRIDSYFIRLYSING CD
fucking awesome joke band with "it" and "all" from abruptum, awesome music, schreechy with a drum machine. overall star wars theme is the cherry on top. fucking awesome.
DEEDS OF FLESH:INBREEDING THE ANTHROPOPHAGI CD
really fast good deathy shit. my only complaint it the blasts where they hit the bass drum on the same beat as the snare so it sounds like they don't know what the fuck they're doing, but it's still good.
NILE: RAMSES BRINGER OF WAR CD
old cd of songs that were later recorded much better and ended up on "amongst the katacombs of nephren~ka". but it's still nile o it kicks ass. raw recording.
VENOM: BLACK METAL CD
i finnally got this, i've been looking for it for a while and couldn't find it anywhere. okay this is why people like venom, i always thought they were okay at best but this is pretty good stuff.
POSSESSED:SEVEN CHURCHES CD
i also finnally got this, okay, now, i like this, right, but i don't understand why people freak out over this band, i mean yea it was done back in 1985 and it is kind of brutal for the era, but i mean people say they're better than slayer and this simply is not true. it is good however. just don't expect to hear "rein in blood".
PECCATUM: STRANGLING FROM WITHIN CD
this is an awesome band with ihsahn from emperor and his wife and her brother (although all they do is sing with him, he does all the music and it sounds like most of the vocals) it is incredible, sounds kind of like a better version of cradle of filth meets emperor, classical composition with raw metal parts ala emperor, gothic clean operatic vocals in parts, schreeching ihsahn trademark vocals in parts. angelic female vocals/screams. it's good.
FATBOY SLIM: YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY
okay so you've heard the fuck out of the "funk soul brother song" but next time you hear a commercial playing it actually listen to it, it's fucking amazing, fatboy slim is dope as fuck, and i noticed like 4 other songs i recognized on it including that songs they're playing on adidas commercials now that i've been all hyped on (i was glad it was on there). dope compositions, he knows what the fuck he's doing alrighty.
EMPEROR: WRATH OF THE TYRENT CD
this is a reissue of the emperor side of the emperor/enslaved split and the emperor "wrath of the tyrant" demo. both of which are very raw sounding (especially the demo) and both of which are wicked fucking good go get it.
SLEATER KINNEY: THE HOT ROCK LP
at first i didn't really like this at all. now i think it's pretty damn good. they're changing but kind of subtly so i don't hate them yet. i like the direction they're moving in with the different guitar parts going together. i'm just counting the days till i see them in the buzz bin on mtv.
ASSUCK: BLINDSPOT 7"
reissue of the legendary hard to find 7". it is good but i noticed the guitar sounds all shitty, i don't know why, it doesn't sound like that on the cd, was this remastered before going on the cd? anyway it's assuck so it rules.
MOUNTAIN BROTHERS: VOL. 1 SELF
good mellow hip hop, interesting lyrics from a "i'm just like you, i work a job and hate it and have to pay bills and we can relate" point of view. it's good shit, glad i bought it.
MORBID ANGEL:COVENANT CD
okay this is old but i just got it. it's fucking awesome. they're quickly becomming my favorite band. insanely fast and technical death, with the song that was on bevis and butthead (bow to me faithfully, bow to me splendidly)
EMINEM:I JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK CD SINGLE
eminem is the new hope for hip hop, actually taking hip hop to another level lyricly but of course people hate him cos he's on mtv and he's the next big thing but people are stupid so don't listen to them, eminem is dope.
DIGITAL UNDERGROUND:SEX PACKETS CD
this is old as dirt but the humpty dance is still in full effect. way back when people didn't rap about being bout it bout it and things were better.
MALEVOLENT CREATION:THE FINE ART OF MURDER CD
i like this alot but couldn't help thinking "wow, this sounds like everything else i've bought in the past 6 months" when i was listening to it. which isn't nessesarily a bad thing at all but i guess take it as you will. fast technical death metal.
THE ELECTROCUTES:STEAL YER LUNCH MONEY CD
oh yea this is why i still listen to punk sometimes, this is the donnas before they were the donnas and started ripping off the ramones and then kiss, this sounds like raooul which is awesome. trashy girl punk singing about making people food and dumb inside jokes. god i wish they'd just be the electrocutes again and come to new hampshire and play a show with us.
SOILENT GREEN:SEWN MOUTH SECRETS CD
fucking kick ass grind from new orleans, sludgy parts and fast parts. one of them does the trademark phil anselmo voice and the other ones voice is an awesome high screechy scream. good shit.
MARDUK:NIGHTWING CD
this sounds like all the other marduk cd's only a little better and better production. i like marduk alot though so this is very good.
METHOD MAN: TICAL 2000 CD
the return of johnny blaze is worth picking up, i remember the first time i heard his first cd i was blown away, knowing what to expect from him now i am not as blown away but still love this album and would go as far as to call it one of the 5 best hip hop releases this year. sick rhymes and flows and the ever kung fu stylings of the wu tang are ever present, with insane loops and an overall dark feel to it. all about the apocolypse. it's good.
LAURYN HILL: THE MISEDUCATION OF LAURYN HILL CD
i love the fugees, one of the things i love most about the fugees is lauryn hill, she's got an amazing voice and can make soul music sound interesting to me, which is good. this album is superb and i listen to it non stop. particularly good for when you're burnt out on grindcore.
JAY-Z: VOL.2... HARD KNOCK LIFE
i got hooked on that song "hard knock life" and had to pick this up. surprisingly it's pretty damn good. also in the top 5 hip hop releases this year (outkast taking the cake though)
CRYPTOPSY: WHISPER SUPREMECY CD
this is the friggin cd of the year. a relentless attack. it doesn't let up. sheer brutality, lightning fast drums beat the shit out of your ears, searing guitars slice you up, thunderous bass shakes the earth beneath your feet, and the vocals were a pleasent surprise since i was such a big fan of lord worms vocal stylings when i heard they had a new singer that didn't growl i was pissed because you must growl to cryptopsy, i was explained that he "screamed", but he does infact growl, just not quite as sick, but he has his own sound which does add to this most supreme of 1998 releases. some trademark cryptopsy riffs are present but most of it is actually breaking new ground, and actually gets even more technical than none so vile, which is one of thee alltime best albums in my book. this is a worthy followup.
NILE: AMONGST THE CATACOMBS OF NEPHREN~KA CD
this is fucking incredible, total speed and technical technical shit with black metal and egyptian parts thrown in and classical parts, truely epic, amazing death metal. awesome production. one brutal fucking cd that needs to be heard.
BECK: MUTATIONS CD
this fucking sucks, man what the fuck? beck used to be awesome but odelay was slacking a bit with the shitty u2 style comercial rock songs and this just is nothing but that crap. this is the worst thing beck has ever done. i should fucking sell this.
OUTCAST: AQUEMINI CD
the third cd by the atlanta hip hop kings smokes, this is awesome, and they're definately taking it to the next level instead of cashing in on formula hip hop (like everyone else in hip hop is fond of doing now). essential hip hop cd.
SILVER APPLES: THE GARDEN CD
if you don't know who silver apples are allow me to explain, the silver apples formed in 1967, they had 3 guitars a drumer and a singer, this was during the psychadelic period so they'd often have long instrumental jams of guitar solos upon guitar solos and the singer got bored so he constructed "the simeon", the simeon was basicly the first keyboard, a giant contraption made up of 12 oscillators and telegraph keys and a radio and lots of other crap he could make neat sounds with. he had to play the bass lines (only 6 different notes) with his feet. the guitarists hated the simeon and all quit so it was just the simeon and the drummer who was amazing, this is the first true hip hop/techno/trip hop sound ever, totally original and duplicated (folk implosion sampled whole songs to give you an idea), thee most innovative band to come out of the 60's, totally giving birth to countless sub genres of music. this shit is the bomb, the vocals are kind of typical for the era but they hold the rest of the music together, the drums sound mechanical as fuck, like they're looped, ad he plays actual techno beats, and the oscillators just make a totaly unique keyboard sound. this is good shit.
TRIBE CALLED QUEST: THE LOVE MOVEMENT CD
this cd is good, not as good as their other stuff, a bit different, still good. lots of good cameos. i heard they broke up and that fucking sucks cos as i'm sure we all know tribe called quest added more to hip hop that millions of these friggin throw away hip hop acts that come a dime a dozen make their money and get even crapier. i'm sad to see them go.
DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN/NORA SPLIT CD
i've heard many many good things about dillinger escape plan so i picked this up and i'm listening to it as i'm writing this and i have to say i'm dissapointed, mabey cos i listened to nile today and nothing can compare to it right now, or mabey cos this sounds like shitloads of other bands, anyways it's screamy emocore like jesuit or to an extent frodus (though i'm sure lots of people will disgree on that but who gives a fuck what i think anyway?). it's not bad it's just not very amazing. and as far as i'm concerned nora is the same band with a differet name, i couldn't tell when they came on and dillinger escape plan ended
DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN: UNDER THE RUNNING BOARD CD
okay so i'm a sucker and bought 2 cds from a band i'd never heard, but i'm actually glad cos so far this one smokes the split with nora, more metal and technical, not as emo. this is actually quite good. yea okay, so learn from my mistake, if you're faced with these 2 cds get this one an fuck the split with nora.
APESHIT: 7"
the guys in spazz really like infest, which is why their labels keep putting out records that sound like infest. this is no exception. listen to bleeeaaauuurrggghhh, you'll see what i mean, 9 out of 10 bands on it sound like infest. i mean i like infest, but not this much.
BURNED UP BLED DRY:I FORGET THE NAME OF THIS BUT IT'S ON SLAP A HAM 7"
another band they like is his hero is gone. nothing wrong with that, i do too. this band might as well be hhig. but i really like hhig and thereby i dug this record.
SEAN LENNON: INTO THE SUN LP
when john lennon died his voice/musical stylings were reincarnated in his son sean, but his lyrical abilities died with him. this record is awesome if you don't give a shit about the lame ass (and i do mean LAME ASS) lyrics, i personally don't care about lyrics so it's all to the good. really mellow music, pop with a new school/old school feel. al the songs are about his girlfriend to give you an idea. redundent. but the music is awesome and he sings awesome. i dig it.
ASSHOLE PARADE/PALATKA SPLIT LP
holy shit this is awesome, i've always liked asshole parade and palatka and this seems like a good pairing for a split but you have no idea how mch ass it kicks untill you listen to the fucker. asshole parade sample from "dazed and confused" which i have done myself actually (same guy in a different scene) so he gets points for that. palatka ae awesome too, this is a kick ass record.
BENUMB:SOUL OF THE MARTYR LP
the only other things i have by them are the dukes of hazard split and the live split flexi with suppresion and neither of them can touch this record, this is awesome and i am now seeing why people are making such a big deal about them. the record is fucking cool looking too, it's a clear lp, i've never seen one before, i've seen clear colored but this is clear as fuck and it's a lp and that impresses me. so does the music.
DAHMER:DAHMERIZED LP
this is much better than all the other shit i've heard by them and it's refreshing to see a grind band do an lp on 33 and actually try to fit a decent ammount of material on it instead of doing it on 45 since your lp is only 15-20 minutes long, so yea, there's a full lp's worth of material and it's pretty good grind. every song is named after a serial killer and the lyrics are all about what that serial killer did. so i guess by default this is "gore grind" who cares? it's good.
MARDUK:GERMANIA DOUBLE LP
black metal collector nerds (like me) will think they've died and gone to valhalla when they get this, first of all it's a beutifull gatefold double lp, second of all there's only 1500 hand numbered copies and they're all from france (osmose) so the numbering looks all cool, third of all it is insane, marduk are the sickest live band ever in the history of the world, they're actually alot faster live than on records, disproving the rumor that they tape speed their drums, this is ill shit. i acually saw a video of this show once before. mindblowing.
PHOBIA:MEANS OF EXISTANCE CD
this blows everything they ever did away, but their live show blows this away. they got tight as fuck. speedy blastbeats and steady. sounds kind of like the new e.t. actually, only in some parts though, but that is good cos if you see the review of that record below you'll see what i think of it. my only complaint is the samples take up too much time.
PANTALONES ABAJO MARINERO/EXHUMED SPLIT 7"
this is a great fucking record, exhumed play their sick ass growl grind metal style, but pantalones steals the show with this shit, ultra fucking oblivion blurr grind, if the beat tempo was up any higher it would all turn to mush, schreechy vocals kind of like mayhems new album only quicker and more distorted. fucking awesome.
EXCRUCIATING TERROR:DIVIDED WE FALL CD
this is the bomb! i've fucking been waiting for this for over a year and a half and i got it today and it's been on non stop, fucking incredible. sound quality is similar to the live 7" on 625, and many of the same songs appear. this is faster and crustier than the last one but still bass heavy and brutal as all hell, but mad soul comes through on this one crushing you. 21 songs in all, including what i'm assuming is their theme song "e.t.". buy this now.
BEASTIE BOYS:HELLO NASTY CD
this is fucking awesome, by far their best album, fucking incredible use of samples. thank you beastie boys, thank you for finally progressing hip hop.
EPOCH OF UNLIGHT:BLACK AND CRIMON GLORY CD
there're an american band, they come into your town, they help you party it down, they're an american band. awesome black metal from memphis, tn, thee only good american black metal band i've ever heard. this cd is only 3 songs with keyboard filler (it's still good filler) and it's awesome, total blastbeat bm, the drums sound awesome and the snare rings out loud and it's great. track this down.
ABIGOR:APOKALYPSE CD
this is not new i just got it and it's awesome black metal. low fi, but eerie, awesome throughout. in the style of marduk and the new mayhem, but without all the nice production.
VITAL REMAINS:FOREVER UNDERGROUND CD
this is a great cd, though i find 2 things definately wrong with it, 1:the guitar sound is not distorted enough for this music, they would sound much better with a metal zone pedal, and 2:the lyrics are dumb as fuck, wicked cheesy cliches like "we swing our swords, we weild our axe, we drink the blood, the souls we'll smash, we sound the horns, no turning back, forever true, forver black!" but the vocals are sick and it's a good cd none the less.
BETHLEHEM:DICTIUS TE NECARE CD
do not, i repeat, do not listen to this if you re even slightly depressed because this record is sick as fuck, it's a genre they created called "dark metal" and it all revolves around suicide, as per the inscription on the cd that says "you must kill yourself" and the dedication on the inside to "all victims of suicide", this music is fucking tortured, the vocals are pure misery, a couple kids in germany killed themselves to this record and the band and their management are currently in court being sued by the parrents and shit, this ain't no joke, this shit will do nothing but reinforce thoughts of suicide, i didn't even listen to the whole thing cos i started to feel like shit, but i heard most of it and it's a fucked up record. vocals are unlike any i've ever heard, i mean you could compare them to bathory if bathory was recording a suicide note orally to music but luckily the lyics are all in german so i have no clue what they're saying.
VARIOUS ARTISTS:403 CHAOS COMP. CD
there's a couple wicked good songs on this and a bunch of so so ones, it's all bands that have played 403 chaos, a club in tampa florida run by steve from assuck and rob from assucks girlfriend and it is a dream of mine to play there before i die. highlights are the new asuck song where steve doesn't take a breath for about a minute in the first couple measures, and the jud jud ending track and the scrotum grinder song and a couple others worth the $6 i paid for it. it comes in a 10" sleeve but it's really a cd. the first song is pretty good too.
PANTELONES ABAJO MARINERO:TAPE OF ALL THEIR NEW STUDIO SHIT
holy fuck.
PROPHETIC DISCLOSURE:TAPE OF ALL THEIR NEW STUDIO SHIT
fucking heavy, sick ass gurglecore, black metal eeriness, grindcore ass kicking. fast, awesome samples, and the guitar player overdubbed 3 guitars and a bass cos their only a 2 piece (id mocks you!) but seriously it fills the recording right the fuck up, buy these records when they come out.
GUERNICA:TAPE OF ALL THEIR STUDIO YADA YADA YADA
this is the first shit i've heard from them in about a year now and it's good, dan warned me they had changed and i was pleasantly surprised to find they hadn't too much, more eerie (they bought a chorus pedal) but they pull it off well and still have all the brutal ass kick parts, i was also surprised to find that this studio recording doesn't really sound that much better thn their demo, but then again their demo sounded pretty good.
GRIEF:TORSO LP
this fucking record is amazing, my band is playing with them in about a week and a half and i'm gonna freak out cos i haven't taken this off my record player since i got it. this is their best record by far, total nilhistic doom sludge, slower than dirt and painfull too. but as much as i love this band and this record, the art work is horrible, i don't usually go off about artwork as it's pretty trivial, but i mean, this is bad and could probably actually dissway people from buying this. get this. POISON:LOOK WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN LP
okay, so this is 12 years old and it's not even been repressed lately, but i just picket it up again so i'm gonna say that this record is all about what's missing in rock and roll today and i'd like to see rock and roll get it back man cos matchbox 20 suck dick, you know what i'm saying? give me motley crues "theater of pain", give me "talk dirty to me" give me white lion, fuck this alternative crap, wear glitzy clothes and sing about fucking.
V CARD:I FORGET THE NAME OF THIS OLD ASS 7"
v card is one of the only emo bands that doesn't suck ass, but this record sure does, wooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeee.
DJ FAUST:MAN OR MYTH CD
alright, homeboy fucked up mastering this shit so it's something like 27 tracks to one id point so you have to cd fast forward this shit to get to where you wanna go in this 70+ minute cd, there are highlights and low lights but this is a good cd overall, DJ SHOTGUN is the bomb, while FAUST definately has his moments, mad samples and scratching, which is severly lacking in modern hip hop, but some of it comes off sounding too repeditive, not the kind of cd you want to listen to in it's entirety unless you're REALLY FUCKING BORED.
V/A:BASS SLO + LO 2 CD
oh yea, this shit reminds me of living in florida and seeing the billion dollar low riders with more 15" subs than sharks have teeth, DJ MAJIC MIKE get's the party started right with some ultra lows, and it don't stop till the disk is over. i like to freak pedestrians with this shit.
SUFFOCATION:HUMAN WASTE CD
this is fucking good. this is my first suffocation cd and now i know why people like them. this sounds like cryptopsy who are one of my favorite bands so automaticly i liked it. wicked fast grind/death metal with growly vocals.
HUMAN REMAINS:USING SICKNESS AS A HERO CD
the mighty dave witte from discordance axis played drums for this band so you know it's at least partially amazing. they do weird fucked up rythems with weird guitar sounds that remind me of rage against the machine so i can't really decide if i like it, i mean, i love the cd, but i can't decide if i like that aspect of it. it's damn good though and you should buy it.
SLEEP:VOLUME ONE CD
sleep's holy mountain was not a very amazing album so i didn't understand why people freaked out over that band, with this i think i'm starting to understand. this is more doom sludge than 70's rock, which they admittedly do bett than most to begin with, but at least this doesn't rip off black sabath as bad as "sleeps holy mountain". it's worth listening to. i shouldn't really review this yet because i have hardly listened to it, but so far i like it.
MORTICIAN:ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE CD
this is fucking amazing. it's all the formula things i like about music, wicked fast wicked low tuned guitars and wicked low vocals, my only complaint is they do too many generic "chugga chugga" prodding parts that get a bit boring, but then they go fast again and everythings right with the world.
D.R.I.:FOUR OF A KIND CD
so this came out in 1988 and i bought it on tape, then i got into punk and disowned metal for about 3 years and for some reason i got rid of this audio masterpiece, welp i'm glad to say "metal... i'm back!" this is a fucking classic cd, totally amazing crossover hardcore/metal with riffs that get caught in your head for days. essential.
ASSUCK: NECROSALVATION 7"
does anyone know if this got repressed? cos if not and this is an original i'm gonna come. it looks pretty new though and i don't see how this could possibly be a 10 year old 7" or how i could have bought it at newburry comics for $4 if it was the original. oh yea, it's really good, early assuck, they'd only been around for a year when they did this so it's not quite as tight or technical as the rest of their stuff, early version of "civilization comes, civilization goes". get this if you're like me.
CORRUPTED: PASO INFERIOR CD
fuck. 1 song. 42 minutes. amazing shit. slower than slow, feedback for the first 4 minutes and last 4 minutes. doom sludge does not even begin to touch how slow this is. it floored me. belive the hype.
DISCORDANCE AXIS/PLUTOCRACY SPLIT 7"
i fucking love these bands. d.a. steal the show though, another version of "follow my tears the policeman said" is on this. i kind of like this production better than the lp's. can't wait to hear their new shit.
ANAL CUNT: OLD STUFF PART 2
i didn't know there was a part one but this is cool, hillarious live sets, one of which is unplugged, but they still do the blurr parts, just with an acoustic guitar and the crowd digs it, the other is not unplugged and you can hear people in the audience going "man, these guys really suck!" and stuff like that and then i think they get booted off the stage and argue to do one more song and end up doing a little one note tune before they give up. i already had all the other shit on here though so fuck it.
BRUTAL TRUTH: SOUNDS OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM CD
okay i had the split 7" with spazz and the tribute to black sabath thing they did before i got this and i thought they were pretty good, but i finally got this and holy shit! this is amazing grind/tech metal! well, most of it is, you see, they have songs on the cd that totally don't fit in and sound like a rock type metal band of late comparable to pantera or soundgarden or korn or something lame ass like that, but then those songs end and they go back to kicking your ass. i like. alot.
LOS CRUDOS: THE NEW LP THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF COS IT'S IN SPANISH
this is the shit. i haven't listened to the whole thing yet due to time constraints but what i have heard fucking blows away their split with spitboy which i didn't think was very good for crudos. buy this.
SPAZZ/SUBVERSION SPLIT CD
subversion are really good, more like old school fast hardcore, screamy. apparently they are from austrailia destroying my theory that austrailian music all sucks. spazz is amazing here too, i have yet to see a spazz review be negetive so i will not go off about it, what i will say is the girl who sings the first song (and it is a girl) sounds alot like the singer from mukilteo faries (which is good) and fits spazz very well, they also have one of thee most hillarious songs i've heard in a while called "katon w. depena without the w. is like grilled cheese without the grill parts 1 & 2" where there is a decent ammount of non song banter which made me crack up. you go spazz.
CRYPTOPSY: NONE SO VILE CD
this came out a while ago but i just ordered it and got it on cd so i'm gonna review it again damnit. this is thee fastest band i've ever heard that does not use a drum machine (at least to my knowledge). brutal death grind with growled vocals and ultra chunky guitars. insanely fast shit. peep this band for a lesson in ultra fast tech metal.
PROPHETIC DISCLOSURE: DEMO TAPE
this is a band out of maine that kicks ass, they play a very interesting mix of black metal and grind and mixes them very well. i may have the pleasure of playing a show with this band in the near future. i belive they are recording for something soon. inhuman.(editors note:i am actaully playing bass with them now and their new stuff/their practice sessions kill this shit dead!)
PANTELONES ABAJO MARINERO: DEMO
fucking good. thee fastest band i ever heard (they do use a drum machine though) ultra speedy low guitars, ultra screechy vocals, doesn't slow down very much at all on this. just the way i like it. go pantelones abajo marinero!
PIG DESTROYER: DEMO i had the pleasure of playing a show with this band and no matter how good this demo is they are even better live. the obvious comparison is to discordance axis, but they also have a bit of assuck influence too, especially in the drums, very good band that will punish upon hearing them, touring this summer and supposed to have a million split 7"s out.
