I'm someone who is constantly fiending for power-violence. This Iron Lung 7" is a force.
https://ironlungpv.bandcamp.com/album/savagery-7-lungs-058Listening to the AnB/Despise You split today. Despise You...even at half-mast, this band rips better HC/thrash than just about anybody. Death metal riffing is a little more evident on these songs, and the songs aren't just blazing one-minuters. Nevertheless, this is still some great HC. I should know this, but is the guitarist in another band, like Excruciating Terror? These songs definitely have a different vibe than the 90's band. I'm into it. No complaints. (the only band to have ever really done "Couch Slouch" any justice)
https://agoraphobicnosebleed.bandcamp.com/album/and-on-and-onIt's kind of weird that Agoraphobic Nosebleed is a band for split hire, or so it seems. Strange that they do these big splits and take on the personality of the other group on the split. They do a split with Despise You, and they alter their shit to sound in line with Despise You. Same goes for their split with Apartment 213, which I liked a lot. I haven't heard a couple of their other Relapse splits, so maybe this isn't their regular MO? Anyone else left with this impression? If I'm right, it's an odd role. Kind of interesting, too. The Relapse house band ready, and capable, of taking on whatever style ordered. (and they do a darn good Man is the Bastard, too)
