First Days Of Humanity ‎– Caves / Remains

goodguysgogrind

What started as a joke turned into something bigger and more serious. If you listen to this noise once, you’ll notice that this noise is very close to LDOH (and yes the joke was about this band too). From the beginning it was only an online/bandcamp project, nothing serious… but with  time labels and fans grew to enjoy this putrid noise. We have a tape release here (thanks to Grindfather prod) of the first 2 EP’s “Caves” and “Remains”. I think all together it’s only 10 minutes of music, but believe me, it’s more than enough. Because everything here has … Continue reading First Days Of Humanity ‎– Caves / Remains

Nekro Drunkz ‎– Terminal Perversion

ggggalex

Last fall the guys from Nekro Drunkz finally dropped their new album! It was great news, because I really love their old stuff, which made me excited. But before I will start this autopsy, here is some boring and general info about this album. From the beginning our friends have signed a contract with the great Headsplit Records. As far as I know that label made a mountain of tapes and CDs for them. The cover was really brutal and reminds me of old moldy death metal artworks from the past. Then NoBread Rec appeared to released their album in … Continue reading Nekro Drunkz ‎– Terminal Perversion

P.O.O.R. – Glutton For Punishment

ggggalex

P.O.O.R. is one of those bands that likes to take their time between each new release. When I heard their first album I was totally ruined by its force and destructive speed. 7 years later I finally have the opportunity to listen to their new songs. Yes,I waited that long to hear this new album, haha! Time flies fast, and it also brings some changes. To be honest I listened to “Glutton For Punishment” 5 or 6 times before starting to write something. I caught a lot of changes in the music and the style of this band. But before … Continue reading P.O.O.R. – Glutton For Punishment

Sulfuric Cautery – Three Years of Torture

ggggalex

Today’s story will be about one crazy and loud band from Dayton (USA). A band young and productive, for 3 years of existence they have almost 20 releases! Yep, I’m talking about Sulfuric Cautery. I remember the first time when I heard their noise, that was damn noisy and messy  recording from some of their splits, but even with shitty quality, their extraordinary style caught me. And now, a few years later I`m holding a discography CD… time runs fast, hehe.  I heard a lot of different bands and can honestly say that not all of them deserve attention. Guys … Continue reading Sulfuric Cautery – Three Years of Torture

Organ Dealer (06.01.20)

ggggalex

Greetings my friends! How are you doing today? I hope all is well and your beer is cold, and Cher is playing loud from your speakers! Hello Mr. Bilous! Happy New Year! We are doing great, thanks for the interview! We believe in life after love. How does it feel to be in an underground band? And how many years have you been apart of this scene (not just in OxDx)? It’s awesome, it’s very hard work but it’s rewarding and we love it. We’ve all been active in the underground scene since we were teenagers, now in our 30s … Continue reading Organ Dealer (06.01.20)

LIFES – Treading Water (Here And Now Records)

ggggalex

Today we’ve got a 12” full length from the Wisconsin based two piece band LIFES. This is the bass and drums duo’s first full length release, co-released by themselves and Here And Now Records. They’ve brought us 18 tracks of noisey hardcore/powerviolence, and I’m always a sucker for two-piece bands, so lets check it out. This release starts really strong, with definite roots in powerviolence and a heavy dose of hardocre. The blast beats are solid, and pacing changes are on point, and the breakdowns are heavy. This pace keeps up for the first few minutes and it’s enjoyable, but … Continue reading LIFES – Treading Water (Here And Now Records)

Tomb Warden/Hit-Run Drivers/Bruised Ego/Street Feet

ggggalex

One of the things I really love about grindcore is that sampler 7 inches like this can exist and not be fucking painful to sit through. Can you imagine sitting through a doom metal four way split? I think I’d be asleep before I had to flip the thing. But with grind…it’s like ordering the sampler appetizer at a shitty bar. Yes, I DO want onion rings, and buffalo wings, and mozz sticks, and whatever the fuck else you want to throw on there. Deep fried grindcore, please. Our first greasy bit of fried grindcore comes from Tomb Warden from … Continue reading Tomb Warden/Hit-Run Drivers/Bruised Ego/Street Feet

P.L.F. ‎– Jackhammering Deathblow Of Nightmarish Trepidation

ggggalex

During Obscene Extreme Fest in Czech Republic I had the opportunity of meeting Sandro from ancient Regurgitated Semen Rec. It was a pleasure to meet this guy after so many years of chatting with him. That day he told me that he will release a CD version of the new PLF album. That news really pumped me up and some time ago I received this album from him. So what can I say? This album is really monstrous, starting with the cover image and ending with last putrid riff. But let’s go in order, first of all the art. This … Continue reading P.L.F. ‎– Jackhammering Deathblow Of Nightmarish Trepidation

Skalp – Demolision

ggggalex

New names – new tunes! Today I want to present to you a new band from Texas. I chose this band because it has its own style (more or less). Skalp is a toxic, barbaric mix of Metal, Crust and Grindcore. This tape contains 10 short songs that (hopefully) will take your scalp of, haha! The band used an interesting picture for its first release. It’s an image of a (500-400 B.C.) Siberian mummy.  I bet it was scalped to collect its brain for mummification, ha! This shit looks very savage and cool. Obviously the visual part of this tape … Continue reading Skalp – Demolision

Whammer – S/T

ggggalex

It’s been a while since I’ve sat down to review a cassette, so it’s time to fix that! Whammer is a perfect candidate for this mission. This band is new but, the band members have a lot of experience. This squad features members of Doperunner, Grunt & Abberant, familiar names, right?) This self-titled work contains only 4 songs, that’s not much but we have what we have. However  this band differs from the aforementioned bands, I guess I can say that Whammer get their roots from old school Metal/Punk and Grind. You can even look at the cover art and … Continue reading Whammer – S/T

Always Never Fun / Forged (Grindpromotion Records)

ggggalex

This split is a pretty nice piece. Each band comes with a different variation of poverviolence, each one has some time to blast, but not enough time to become monotonous and boring as it probably would be if it were full length, for example. Italian punks from ANF start out this split with some of their wildest tunes. “Plastic Ground” was a great choice to begin this set. It’s fast, sometimes groovy, and furious. Don`t get me wrong – all of the next tracks are cool too. Especially “Pollution Nightmare” with its pumping grinding energy and a few swing hardcore … Continue reading Always Never Fun / Forged (Grindpromotion Records)
