GRINDCORE

[Kaaoskultti]

Any time recommendation comes, it is kind of... "quite good", but have to put it in quotation, since it usually has the speed, it has the skill to play, but lacks rough nasty sound, memorable songs and some sort of identity. You can return any day, any time to Scum, From Enslavement.., Impulse To Destroy, If this is gore..., and so on and on.

Indeed. Modern bands might have better skills than those from decades ago, but lack "the feel".

Discordance Axis will never have an equal imo.

When I think of good Grind, I think of Napalm Death (first two & UB), Carcass (first two), Terrorizer, Repulsion, Ässuck, and yes, Discordance Axis.

CF is not over yet. Been 5 years since previous album, but probably next year something happening again.

Any news on this one? I wonder what kind of bizarre themes and deviances would be explored on a new album.  As in a project that had its fair share of documentation on the underworld of sex.

Is there anywhere where I can purchase CF cds? So far I've only found Scared (...) on NHFA store. Are there any other distributors at the moment?

when grind started I laughed about it, then simphonies of sickness was released and I punched myself for not seeing the truth.
never been too much into the too loo-fi generic stuff, and appreiciated the over-produced stuff.
a few years ago I got back into it and really enjoy differenyt projects that stands between grindcore and power violence.
listening a lot Vermin Womb and Caustic Wound these days

Ingrown "Gun" is one of my most spun records in recent times.

The Socioclast album is one of my favorite grind albums of recent years.  I didn't hit me until maybe the third listen.  It doesn't look like they're doing anything else though.  Poland's Nonsanto does some nice stuff.  I'm still undecided whether it is top tier, but I feel that way about the related bands of Evil, Icon of Evil, Self Hate, and country mates Zatrata.

Australia's Innercity Uprising has been re-releasing some solid grind from the Sounds of Ordinary Madness comp + zine roster.  Warpspasm and Magnacite so far.  They're more varied than just grind, but that's maybe when they're at their best.

Man, fully forgot about this. I was casually eyeing its release and then probably wasn't in the mood when it came out and neglected to check it. In Disgust is still one of the best to ever to do it, so I have faith in this one.

Socioclast is type of sound quality and riffing I don't really like in grindcore. Perhaps it is partially the logo, which makes on think more of Teitanblood than grind...  That combined to style it certainly makes me think as much this dark low tuned black/death type current days metal. Like fast stuff of Antediluvian or fast Teitanblood and such, and not really grindcore what I personally like.

I made mistake of listening latest Rotten Sound. That is real teflon turd.

No news. "Scared...." CD I got last couple. Everything else sold out. I don't think old stuff can be bought from distributors. Only 2nd hand copies if someone puts it to discogs. Almost everything was repressed, so I doubt more will be repressed anytime soon.

Not to be negative...but being negative...Rotten Sound hasn't since approached their PD10" quality.  I can remember when Exit came out and received high praise.  That's pretty much when I stopped paying attention.  The From Crust 'Til Grind collection covers everything I need to know.

The element of Socioclast that is the biggest draw for me is the knod to Assuck.  While they don't brick you with it, it's clearly there.  And yes, In Disgust was great.  It's surprising how few reference Assuck, Anticapital in particular, but I also say that about Napalm Death's Harmony Corruption.  When I came across Toxic Bonkers - Blindness 1998, I thought, "Finally! a band riffing on Harmony Corruption."

as always my #1 UK grind recommendation are my friends ATOMÇK

They have a new album out soon, heard a sneak preview and it is pretty amazing. Here's their previous one:

Those screechy vocals sound like a very annoying bird :)

By the way, I'm searching for this nice VHS:

Glad for this reminder.  I'd forgotten about them, and they really hit the spot yesterday.

Forgot to mention Brujeria's first demos and Matando Güeros. Definitely a classic. Raw, nasty, dirty Grindcore done the right way. This is a "Deathgrind" which I find to be better than other acts, maybe because it is not overproduced and has a general morbid atmosphere to it.

Listen to Laughing Dog. Pure New Mexican crusty grind. They are still at it 20 some odd years since the first record

[Zeno Marx]

Squash Bowels - For Dead God - International Devastation - demos and some early splits - my memory was off.  I thought they were more lo-fi and primitive, but it's generally quality grind and pretty darn good.  Much better than I remembered.  I had little intention of listening to the whole thing, but I did.

Brutality Reigns Supreme / Gruesome Stuff Relish 2001 - goregrind - the vocals don't age well with this stuff for me, but the grooves and riffs are holding tight - I can quickly get my fill, but when in the mood, it rides - both are good, but Gruesome Stuff Relish edges it out.

Gronibard - s/t 2001 - endless grooves and riffs - the production reminds me of the first Blood Duster album - one of the vocalists has a great, genuinely funny style.

Ulcerrhoea - Rise For The Downfall - demos, rehearsal, and promos - just started this...
