Solid Swedish-style thrash, not death with cookie monster vocals, so while not exceptional, at least they don’t make you laugh all the way to the trash barrel.
Seattle band’s fourth slab of frantic mayhem. Some creepy-crawling, plenty of blastbeat thunder, deep, swallowed-mic growl, and flutter-picked leads and fills.
Since 1988, De/Vision has become one of the best-known modern synthpop bands, with smooth vocals, crisp production, and a number of club and radio hits.
Sweden’s Clawfinger never got their due, and it’s doubtful they ever will. Probably the only metal band with rappy vocals that don’t make me wanna hurl.
Live-sounding rockabilly/rock’n’roll featuring Sean “Zezo” Wheeler (Throwrag), Chopper Von Franklin (The Cramps), and Corey Parks (Hunns, ex-Nashville Pussy).
Having slogged it out in different states, under different names, By Blood Alone came together in Maine, and the chemistry between members is apparent.
Produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge), and it’s nicely non-muddy, high-end scream metal along those lines. They’ve played with Converge and Cursed, and Hot Cross.
Classic mid-’90s fast punk from Jersey. Fans of NOFX and Strung Out’ll remember them. Fourth studio album. More political and socially biting than I remember.
Kings of Swedish sleaze glam, this live release draws from Total 13 (as song-by-song great as Appetite for Destruction) and two CDs never released in America.
Too bad I like grind as much as I like vomiting and blowing diarrhea out my ass at the same time, with my dick in a blender and my head in a trash compactor.
