Grunt !

[Cranial Blast]

Terror & Degeneration

Indeed! Suffocating atmosphere unlike any other, total audial oppression and drawn out suffering that doesn't ever end.

Seer Of Decay needs a repress, great album.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

It will be done in 2024. Freak Animal started in 1994, so year will be good excuse to celebrate with bunch of reissues among the new stuff. Seer of Decay, Grunt/Taint and some N12 files has been already waiting. Possibly older Pain Nail, and some more.

I hope this means First 12 Years compilation, that's been out of print for a long time.

I hope so too. That's the only one of the N12 CDs that I'm missing and you're correct that one has been out of print for a long time. Definitely needs a reissue!

That's some amazing news. Can't wait for my copy of the latest Grunt to arrive. The split with Taint would be Schoolyard Bruises, right?

By the way, I didn't find this in this forum yet and am not aware if anyone already made the question, but... what does 'Dorchester Library' means?

The sound layering on Karike is great--lots of things happening at once without sounding unnatural or crowded.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

It is studio-live without editing, so all layering is happening at the moment, which in my experience changes sound greatly compared to putting layers of sound on top of eachother in DAW.

Grunt gig in Germany, might be the only gig for a while. Of course nothing is absolutely decided, but 2026 looks so busy that it will be hard to squeeze in more activities. Therefore if one wants to see Grunt live, especially outside Finland, Dresden 20.12.2025 is place to be! Expected less free form, more "song oriented" Grunt approach.

If all things go well, I will be in Dresden. Very much looking forward to it!
Perfect pre-Xmas celebration.

That one is gonna be a killer one, so bad I cannot attend. Anenzephalia and human larvae are great to catch live as well.

[jmbto]

I will be at Dresden as well, but will miss a Geography of Hell gig on the same day. First PE show to attend anyway.

Y'all convinced me to (finally) get me some Grunt.

I'm going to start with the very lovely Petturien Rooli, and the incredibly relaxing Ramirez split - Modern Beliefs.

Cup of tea, anyone?

[Minus1]

I see that Petturien Rooli is one of those extra-naughty ones that discogs won't sell. It must be good!

(I wish I could find a list of all the ones that discogs won't deal with. That would be threadworthy!)

I got mine from S+W. There's a few others there that I might get once extra research is conducted.

I heard Mr Grunt (Mikko) comes to this forum? Maybe he would like some tea.

Edit: I love the sounds/flow on the 2CD Grunt/Gelsomina. A stunning continuity exists nearly 20 years apart. Thoughts?

[FreakAnimalFinland]

mr. Grunt is me = mr. Freak Animal.

A lot of my releases are banned in discogs, but many times it might not be that they include something exceptionally rough, but for some other reasons.

Petturien Rooli will be issued finally on vinyl, 2xLP, with additional material from same sessions that were not on the CD. Schedule not 100% decided. Just have to decide when to send to press.
