Killer swift blast of black grindy crusty deathy goodness for that ass by way of Trepanation. Free and brutal, like we all should be.

Daggra - "Daggra"

Magicore homie Phil from A Beautiful Lotus does vocals for this new project entitled Daggra. Relentless and agressive grindy goodness from front to back, some powerful riffs and tightly played drums paint the picture for Phil's vocals and together it's a masterpiece of heaviness. Check it.

Heartless - "Certain Death"

I was fortunate enough to win a prize pack of this release on clear, black, and test press 7" and am thrilled to let you all know you can have at least a digital version for free for yourself. You should throw them some dollars if you can, but throw some horns up to for nothing at bare minimum. Heartless on Halo Of Flies with some gnarly grindy hardcore shit that is angry and relentless. Fucking pummeling and brutal. Incredible.

Urtek - "We Hate"

I can't keep up with the Torn Flesh Records netlabel, this has been established. I've missed out on posting more than a handful of albums in at least 100 releases since my last post, no bullshit. What can ya do, non-stop ruling from the TFR camp. This shit here is from the Washington based grind outfit known as Urtek. The TFR post on Facebook describes them as "doomgrind" and that's pretty god damned accurate. Download and rip your face off to this!

Skinned Christ - "Lucifer"

Aside from this band's logo, which fucking rules, the music is pretty gnarly too. Mostly black metal, I have to mention I almost find it hard to believe it's not a one man black metal band. But, it says it's not, so I have to believe that I guess. The drums, especially, are throwing me off here, as most of the time they sound like a pretty cheap drum sampler running at top speed. There are some moments when there's a bit of real ingenuity in their programming/performance, but even the fact that they sound like I described them is not a downfall. The vocals are usually a pretty well executed black metal screech, but layered in there now and again are some really fucking killer guttural death metal growls. The guitars are probably the weakest aspect to the release, generally just not tuned right and run through the kinds of effects & distortion I usually prefer in this type of musical outing - but together, the whole thing works. Especially if you're typically into one man digital grind/black metal bands. Check it out, it's free & you need to worship Satan tonight. Friday night black metal ritual, fuckers.

Dental Work & Iamdeadsmiles58 - Father

Iamdeadsmiles58, Dental Work, Tooth_Eye, and Melted Cassettes bring you the follow up to last years "Mother", the aptly titled "Father". The album starts out with a 20 minute breakcore/noise/hip hop opus by Dental Work featuring Tooth_Eye's remix of Dental Work, along with a barrel full of other tracks. Dental Work does not disappoint. The rest of the album is comprised of Iamdeadsmiles58's brand of digital grindcore. His sound has gradually evolved into a far more enjoyable and easy to digest product. Melted Cassettes lends vocals on "Running Away" and Tooth_Eye provides amens and kicks for "Don't Die Kid". Digital Grindcore has come along way since the myspace days. Iamdeadsmiles58's material on "Father" is a good example of the direction the genre is going... and that direction is a positive one. "Father" is a joint release between Sirona-Records (France) and Placenta Recordings (USA).

V/A - "Relapse Records Winter 2012 Sampler"

Despite not fully harnessing the digital era, a lot of established metal labels are dipping their toes in to test the waters. The ever awesome Relapse Records has been on the forefront of keeping it real, in terms of physical product and such, as well as putting some feelers out with new media in the form of free podcasts/mixtapes and free samplers.

The winter 2012 sampler from the label comes packing heat with a ridiculous collection of material from artists on their roster this year, along with a sneak peak of what's yet to come. If you're familiar with the label, then you know what to expect. If you're not down with Relapse, I gotta question your dedication to metal music. Either way, cop this mammoth collection of free tunes including work from Pig Destroyer, Hooded Menace, Christian Mistress, Baroness, Weapon, Death, Dying Fetus, Murder Construct and more. Each and every band bringing it heavy and relentless.

In a word: essential.

Skull Incision / A Beautiful Lotus - "Grown Music For Grown Men"

A Beautiful Lotus fucks with Magicore, this fine blog, and Skull Incision fucks with Torn Flesh Records, many times featured on this fine blog. So, basically, you know this shit's gonna rule. And it does. Skull Incision sets it off on some hybrid metal shit and it decomposes and regrows into droned distortion and noise which eventually fades in ambient realms; but not before A Beautiful Lotus drops one last scorcher. "Grown Music For Grown Men" is a comedic title with serious implications, in relation to the material behind it - It's amusing, but it's true.

Ironhorse - "Dragged Down A Dead End Path"

Grindy hardcore punk from Salt Lake City's Ironhorse. Aggressive and relentless, as well as boasting ridiculous pointillistic hand draw cover art. Blare this one as loud as possible when you've had that shitty day we all run into now and again.

SYPHLUST - "Fuck You Bruce Willis"

As if the dude behind James Doesn't Exist et al isn't prolific enough already, he basically finishes off and rounds out the band called Syphlust, cited as a guest on each individual track and the album as a whole. Following the trend of all Nikolai Gawin related output, this shit is incredible. He, along with two other rude dudes, craft some really over the top brutally awesome noisy grindy chaotic mathy hardcore. Check the shit out. I mean, if you think you can handle it, anyhow. Torn Flesh Records strikes again.

Faith Addiction - "Order From Chaos"

I lamented about the end of Cellgraft back here, and then the guy behind No Reprieve Records just hit me up about this band Faith Addiction, which is 2/3 Cellgraft. So, you know, this shit is pretty awesome. Heavy grind, hardcore punk, sludgy noise, death thrash.

Galenus - "Ideology"

I've been finding a lot of incredible music from Chicago lately. Midwest, WHAT?! Here's another recent awesome discovery from the windy city. Galenus. A duo that crafts ripping and brutal technical death and grind varieties of heavy metal. Nice guttural growls complimented with slightly higher pitched shrieks over some truly relentless drum work and riffs. Nothing super innovative, but this is quite well produced and really tight technical heaviness - so if that's your thing, you're gonna love this.
