Death From Above 1979 – The Physical World
In the name of complete disclosure, I must confess that I wasn’t the biggest fan of Death From Above 1979 on their first trip…
vinyl review
The Great Sabatini – Napoleon Sodomite
If you’re looking for grind inflected sludge metal, with a love for noise, this is the band for you. Something you will notice right from the beginning however, is that The Great Sabatini are not interested in making their music quite that simple. Unlike many 7” releases, Napoleon Sodomite doesn’t feel like the band threw on a few outtakes just to be able to say they put out a 7”. This is quality beginning to end.
KEVI METAL’S 26 INCHES OF PLEASURE AND PAIN
…in which one Kevin Stewart-Panko passes his shaven-and-slanted-head judgment on three slabs of vinyl courtesy our good friends at various record companies. And a-way we go…
Graf Orlock – Doombox 10″ EP
Doombox, the new EP from movie grindmasters Graf Orlock is coming to remind us all of the obscure and not so obscure movies with great lines complimented by great fucking music. With a new lead vocalist that is hilarious and brings an old punk vibe to the music, Graf Orlock is bringing the grind, old school style
G.G. Allin/Antiseen split picture disc
If you feel the need to purchase every recording with G.G. Allin’s name on it, you’ve probably already pre-ordered this. From the casual fan’s perspective, it’s nothing too special.
Anion – Carrion King 7″
Vancouver’s Anion have dropped a punishing slab of hardcore in the way of their Carrion King seven-inch. Four songs striking a balance between stabby hardcore and slow-drain sludge, Carrion King is the perfect primer to the band and their vitriolic brand of sludgecore.
Kevi Metal’s 49 INCHES OF PLEASURE AND PAIN
Hellbound reviews seven 7”s recently released by Baltimore-based A389 Records.
The Roller – Wasted Heritage
The Roller offer no apology for their crust-laden brand of hatesludge. They don’t care if you like ‘em or hate ‘em; they’re going to keep on bulldozing everything that gets in the way regardless.
Thou/ Moloch – Tears That Soak a Callous Heart split 12”
This record isn’t so much a split EP as it is a clash of the titans concerning those who revel and relish in the slow and painful.
Racebannon – Wrap The Body
Wrap the Body is a neat little experiment, but is likely only bound to be wholly accepted and tolerated by Racebannon die-hards, masochistic punishment gluttons and maybe even the occasional DJ. It’s probably a good thing that only 500 of these have been pressed.
