Internal Rot - Grieving Birth (2020)

Grieving Birth is the new album (and their second one, released by Iron Lung) from one of the pillars of the Australian grind scene, Internal Rot. Excellent album of pure grind, deeply rooted in old school, but faster most of the time. Catchy (as grind can be catchy, this is not exactly "radio friendly"!) and punishing at the same time. So far it's my favourite grind release of the year.

Internal Rot / Mellow Harsher - split 7'' (2016)

This is a very good grind split. 4 songs from Internal Rot who are from Australia and plays some old school grind (think Napalm Death and Extreme Noise Terror) with good riffing and groove. Mellow Harsher (8 songs on this split) are from the USA, their songs are especially short and fast, their grind is a bit like some more brutal fastcore, with good results. Recommended !
