Mammoth Grinder

Mammoth Grinder is a sludgy crust punk trio from Austin, Texas. Not much is known about this guys, but if your into southern sludge and "modern" crust this is a must. Get it!

Blood I Bleed

Holland's Blood I Bleed started off right after My Minds Mine quit in 2002. BIB's style is full speed raging "1-2-3-go" thrash and is just a logical follow up of the later fast hardcore/grindcore assault, which MMM stood for. In 2003 their first self titled 7" EP was released and in the following years several split 7"s (Unholy Grave,Under Pressure) followed. In between those recordings, BIB did many gigs troughout Holland, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic.

She Said Destroy

Unlike the name might suggest, She Said Destroy is not a metalcore/deathcore band. This is a band from Norway and their sound, not being very original, is quite unique. Drawing influences from noise rock, thrash, death metal and black metal alike, this unit has through both live performances and recorded material been prying the eyes and ears of whoever crosses their path open. One of my favourite records in the death metal genre, each music is different, I can't get bored of this one.

This City Speaks In Tongues

Hellhammer

No introductions needed.One of the most influencial bands ever to appear on the extreme metal scene.This Swiss cult band has seen the worship of all that is extreme,from Napalm death to Mayhem.In 84,the then emerging styles such as Death Metal and Black Metal,saw Hellhammer as a "Messiah"

Warning

Warning were a UK (Harlow, Essex) based doom metal band. They flagged the rise of post-2000 wave of traditional doom metal. The band is notable for its down-tempo, progressive, melodic and heavy doom-laden sound; the idiosyncratic and poignant vocals of Patrick Walker; and his introspective, darkly-confessional lyrical themes.

2006 - Watching from a Distance

Black Sun

The righteous heirs to the empty throne left by such bands as Swans and Godflesh.
Cold and negative music to ruin your day(in a good way...)
This is(!) the real deal!

Paralyser

Ved Buens Ende...

Ved Buens Ende was a Norwegian avant-garde black metal band. Their sound is diverse with quiet instrumental jazz influenced sections mixed with some aggressive black metal. Ved Buens Ende means "At The End Of The (Rain)bow". A band with members of Dødheimsgard, Virus, Aura Noir and Naer Mataron.


1995 - Written In Waters

East West Blast Test

Drum god Dave Witte(Discordance Axis,Municipal Waste,Melt Banana,etc...) teams up with Chris Dodge(of the legendary Powerviolence outfit SPAZZ) to play a undefinable style of music,that sometimes resembles a more punkish Naked City.
Weird music for weird people.

Guts of a Virgin - 1991

Extreme Noise Terror

This is the return of the Grinding Crust masters from the UK.This is a step back to the "dis" fuelled sound they were notable for in the 80´s and early 90´s.Still,you can ear a bit of death/grind(in the vein of "being and nothing).

Extreme Fucking Punk!!!

Law of Retaliation

Wehrmacht

This is Old School Thrashcore from Portland,Oregon.After they split up,members went on to Spazztic Blur and Cryptic Slaughter.Sadly the were very overlooked on the crossover scene,wich sucks because this record is a fucking classic from 87.Expect furious Thrashing riffs and fast drumming.Open up a beer and enjoy...

Ocean are a doom band from Portland. Do not mistake them with The Ocean from germany.I'm to tired to write a review today so you can read about them here.

Here Where Nothing Grows

Iron Fukin' Lung

Fucking amazing power duo. This guys mix slow paced doomish dissonant riffs with sudden bursts of blasting assaults. Imagine Infest or Spazz jamming with Khanate or Blacksun (not so slow but you get an idea). I'm totally hooked on this.

Sexless//No Sex

Favourite tracks: Future Corpses, Sexless//No Sex, Politics of Science, Cancer

Dissent (EP)

Colossamite

"Colossamite was a mid-to-late 1990's mathrock band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They were one of the most prominent exponents of the genre. Colossamite's members included Nick Sakes (vocals, electric guitar), Ed Rodriguez (electric guitar), John Dietrich (electric guitar), and Chad Popple (drum set); the group had no bass player.

Rather than relying, as most heavy metal bands, on guitar distortion to produce an intense sound, Colossamite instead often relied on very loud "clean" (undistorted) guitars, played dissonantly, in conjunction with vocals that were screamed rather than sung. Songs featured jarring shifts in tempo and mood, with the overall sound being extremely raw, heavy and often slow..." Taken from wikipedia

This is one of those bands you either like or you don't. With me it was love at first listen. This music is so captivating. Beautiful and ugly at the same time, it's like a dream and a nightmare all together. If you're into weird/smart stuff you should really check them out.

The EP is very good but more linear. More easy listening. I recommend listening to it first as a preparation for the album, which is pleasantly disconcerting. By far one of the most geniusly composed albums I ever heard.

Regurgitate

Ok lets get dirty. Regurgitate started out in 1990 with the following members: Rikard Jansson - vox / Mats Nordrup - guitar. Mats also played drums in Crematory (from Sweden, not the one from Germany) and General Surgery. They mixed old school grindcore, gore/porn themes, a sick sense of humour and pitched vocals to create the most brutal and twisted grindcore ever made. Basing most of their career on the release of splits with acts such as Cripple Bastards, Suppository and Noisear among many others, they are today one of the most influential bands in the genre.

Their second full length, Carnivorous Erection (2000), marked a new step for this band. Recorded in a great studio and with the best songs written to that date, produced by the swedish legend Mieszko Talarczyk (Nasum). Relapse released the CD in November that year with cover art by Wes Benscoter that raised quite a few eyebrows. It was banned from the stores in Germany, for instance. The CD got a lot of great reviews from magazines all over the world including one of the biggest morning papers in Sweden (Svenska Dagbladet).

Disrupt

Disrupt is a anarchist crust punk and grindcore band from Lynn, Massachusetts. Focusing in themes like police brutality, religion and politics this band has gained the cult status and became one of the best crust/grind bands (one of my personal favorites). Their line up suffered many changes trough time and the only all time member was Jay Stiles (vocals). They broke up after a tour in 1993 due to musicals diferences.

Taking influence from early crust and grind bands (like Discharge, Anti-Cimex and Napalm Death), Disrupt created Unrest. A vicious crust assault that never gets your tired. Definitly a classic in my book.

Here's their space and Unrest

Favourite track: Religion Is A Fraud

Infest

"Infest was an influential American hardcore band, formed in September 1986 by Joe Denunzio, Matt Domino, Dave Ring and Chris Clift. They disbanded in 1996. Infest, while not coining the term powerviolence, were pioneers of the style.

Joe Denunzio’s vocals exhibited angst, with lyrical content about conformity, war, scene politics and socio-political issues, mostly delivered in an accusational assault. Straight Edge was an influence in Infest's songwriting, with such songs as 'Mindless'. Infest did however differ from their peers in their fervent political stance and imagery, often depicting the tragedies of war and poverty, countering the obligatory "band in action" album covers common to the era." Taken from Wikipedia

This has to be one of the most "angry" records ever! Powerviolence is no doubt the perfect term to describe what happens in No Man's Slave. 15min. of (very) fast paced songs. Sounds like the vocals is mad at you or something and he's gonna kick your fuckin'ass. Then it ends with a slow (kinda sludgy) song but the guy is still fucking pissed. Amazing CD.

No Man's Slave

Windmills by the Ocean

Windmills by the Ocean is a project born in Boston formed by members within the ranks of Isis, Red Sparowes, 27 and Anodyne. This first and only release, a five track self-titled album, was recorded back in August 2003 but it only saw the light of day three years later by the hands of Robotic Empire. Expect an instrumental and atmospheric adventure ranging from post-rock to sludge, doom and even drone.

Windmills By The Ocean

Doom

Doom were a crust punk band from Birmingham, England, which were together from 1987 to 1990. Despite its short existence, the band is considered pivotal in the rise of crust punk, a style within the punk rock subgenre that fuses extreme metal with anarcho-punk. They are considered early precursors of grindcore (Mick Harris (Napalm Death, Scorn, etc) was part of the band for a short time).

Their first record, War Crimes (Inhuman Beings) came out in February 1988 through Peaceville Records. 21 tracks of pure crust punk as aggressive as it gets. Short and straight forward lyrics, raw grunts, d-beat, neck breaking riffs, what else do you want? Without doubt a mark on crust's history.

Here's two versions of the album:

Great band. Great album. Great song. Great video.

Breach

Alright, since this is a(nother) music blog, I decided to start of with 1 of my favourite bands: Breach

These Swedish fellows split up after the release of Kollapse (2001), 1 of the most breathtaking, mysterious albums I have heard. They started with hardcore, went through noise and ended with insert-whatever-you-want-post-prog-weird-core. The singer participated in some tracks of The Ocean's Aeolian (2005). If you're into Converge and Isis (these are the ones that come to mind now) you should definitely check 'em out.

Here's their space, and fanspace.
