Ernia – How To Deal With Life And Fail (Transcending Obscurity)

Spanish Grindcore outfit Ernia are a five piece who are trying to do things their own way instead of sticking to the usual stylings in how to write grindcore, a genre which is pretty much known for being intense, fast… Continue Reading →

Remains – Grind ‘til Death (Spikerot)

Aussie band, Remains came to life in 2019 but their members were all individually established on the local underground metal circuit in bands like Fuck I’m Dead, The Kill and Shallow Grave. “Grind Til Death” is the band’s first full… Continue Reading →

Defect Designer – Neanderthal (Transcending Obscurity)

Seventeen minutes of deathgrind. I did think of trying to keep this review to seventeen lines or writing it in seventeen minutes to show the same level of discipline but, alas I’m old and slow. The title track opens it… Continue Reading →

Wormrot – Hiss (Earache Records)

Let’s get the elephant (in this case a goat, but let’s not split (goat) hairs) out in the open, and although this represents Singaporean Grindcore trio Wormrot’s fourth album after 2016’s excellent ‘Voices’, many metal fans interactions with Wormrot would’ve… Continue Reading →

Knoll – Metempiric (S/R)

A couple of days before this appeared on the new releases list from Ave Noctum towers I read an article online featuring Knoll. It was one of those ones to watch or get your ears round this shit kind of affairs from either… Continue Reading →

Holocausto Canibal – Crueza Ferina (Selfmadegod)

This Portuguese deathgrind band has been around for about a quarter of a century during which the band has released a handful of full lengths and a smattering of EPs and splits, and I’ll be honest in saying they have… Continue Reading →

Napalm Death – Resentment is always seismic – a final throw of throes (Century Media)

Fine wine. Cheese. Napalm Death. No, this is not the ingredients for the world’s most unpleasant dish, but rather a selection of things that seem to get better with age. As well as being one of the very best live… Continue Reading →

Lock Up – The Dregs of Hades (Listenable)

Last time Lock Up released an album (2017) it was one of my highly rated and recommended releases of that year. A devastatingly intense delivery of high quality grindcore which had everything required to guarantee chaos and carnage in any… Continue Reading →

Vomit Spell – Vomit Spell (FDA Records)

One of the nice things about reviewing is watching bands grow, in 2020 I reviewed a slew of F.D.A. Records demos, it was a fun and unique reviewing experience for me and one such band who intrigued me was Vomit… Continue Reading →

Bastardur – Satan’s Loss Of Son (Season Of Mist)

Crust punk from Aðalbjörn Tryggvason of Solstafir and more guests than you can shake a stick at? Oh ok go on then, I’m game. The cover though seems to be trying a little too hard; an 80s pastiche with regulation… Continue Reading →

Full of Hell – Garden of Burning Apparitions (Relapse Records)

Never a band to shy away from experimentation, Full of Hell’s 12 year trajectory is littered with collaborations with the likes of Nails, Merzbow and The Body, each one leaving behind their influence which can be heard on subsequent releases…. Continue Reading →

Desalmado – Mass Mental Devolution (Gruesome Records)

Politically charged Brazilian bump and grind time. Desalmado, which I have just discovered means heartless or cruel have been compared to the likes of Nasum and Brutal Truth and that may well be how they sounded over their earlier albums… Continue Reading →
