Bowelfuck - Appetite Comes with Killing (2022)

Bowelfuck, from Prague, keeps on releasing good grind albums. Maybe their music is a tad too generic, but they take the best of the old-school (Napalm Death. OK, I know ND keeps on trying new things, but still...), the best of the new school (Nasum, Rotten Sound), and mix it well. So I'd say when you need your dose of good grind they never disapoint. Probably Appetite Comes With Killing won't be the most memorable grindcore album of the year, but it is excellent and I always enjoy listening to Bowelfuck.

BowelFuck - Decades (2020)

Discovered Bowelfuck with their previous album Fragments (2017) that I really liked, the new one, their third, Decades, released last year is  another excellent piece of grindcore, somewhere between the old school and bands like Nasum or Rotten Sound, on the more grind-punk side of grindcore. Cool stuff.

Bowel Fuck - Fragments (2017)

Bowel Fuck is a Czech band and, contrary to what theirname might suggest, it is not porno/gore grind but grindpunk, in a way reminding Nasum. Fragments is their second album and it's a really good one. Not a lot of originality but a really good songwriting, straight to the point, with good riffs and a clear and powerfull production. I really like it.
