Shining

Holy fucking shit. Weird jazz metal from Norway.



Black Jazz (Stolen from the Swamp)

California Love

"Heavy-as-shit powerviolence from these guys. Members of Look Back And Laugh and Talk Is Poison, so this is a fucking awesome slab to add to anyone's mp3 collection (we all know you're not buying it, fucker). On top of all the praise, the production on this album is amazing. All that's available now is the CD release, but the vinyl had hand-made silk-screened covers." taken from Buddha Khan

Can't Waste Death (2006)

Hatred Surge

Great power violence act in the line of Despise You (with male and female vocals everywhere). Includes a member from Insect Warfare.

Deconstruct (2008)

The Endless Blockade

"Primitive explodes in severely acidic rage. The album slabs together a mash of coarse power violence, splintering harsh noise, and commanding power electronics. The Endless Blockade evoke the loathsomeness of Man Is the Bastard and the throbbing fast-slow-fast construction of Crossed Out. In particular, the rasping blastbeats and rapid riffs in "Irrationalism Uberalles" share similarities with those of Crossed Out's "Crown of Thorns."With Scott Hull's mixing touch, Primitive breathes just enough. "Thick Skin, Transparent Blood" slows things down, opening with tasty, lumbering chords. Taps on the snare warn of imminent attack; guitars then spew their guts through projectile vomiting." Taken from Invisible Oranges

Primitive (2008)

Outbreak

Emerging out of the quiet, peaceful state of Maine in 2002, Outbreak has proven to be anything but the generalizations made about the state in which they began. They play fast, they play loud, and they have a reputation for an explosive live show. Or as simply as Alternative Press has described Outbreak: "fast, furious, and absolutely unrelenting".

Failure (2006)

Le Scrawl

"Le Scrawl was formed in 1990 by Peter and Mario in Potsdam, Germany.
In the beginning mainly influenced by Grindcore and Deathmetal, first of all by bands like Extreme Noise Terror, Terrorizer, and Napalm Death, they gradually tried to introduce various styles of music. At the time Felix and Michael joined the band, they started to blend Grindcore with Ska, Swing, Jazz..."

Mind Eraser

Mind Eraser come from Boston and they play powerviolence leaning more into the slow parts the genre usually implies making it a little less tireing than some other bands of the genre. I couldn't find much about these fellas but here's a review.
