James Doesnt Exist - "The Return To Sanity"


I simply cannot fathom what goes on in this guys head. A one man grindcore outfit, which is pretty cool on its own but not terribly innovative, surprisingly. Where technical prowess and production value often lack or fail in such realms, James Doesnt Exist excels beyond what you could imagine a one man grindcore band to be.

Within a top notch overall sound, James Doesnt Exist manages to single handedly deconstruct your notion of what a grindcore band can be while vividly displaying some of the absolute best musicianship you've ever heard in such realms. Some might want to throw around "post-metal" references, "digi-grind" catch phrases, "math rock" chin-stroking, and other such inane pigeonholing - I'd just like to say that this is one of the best metal records you'll hear this year.
