HYDROPHOBIA.

We all know that the Japanese People are inherently cooler than the rest of us, & while these fellas from the oldest city in Japan may not have invented anything new in the grind/gore/death/grind department(s), they cull all the riffs, grind, pummel, blast, & shred from bands we all know & love (like Carcass / Brutal Truth / Cannibal Corpse, etc).

That's a formula that you can't go wrong with.

(To be completely honest, I found out about these guys by connecting w/ the bass player of this band on Instagram. He "liked" some of my photos, so I checked his out & his stream was interspersed w/ grind-metal madness & fluffy little puppies, etc. I'm all like, "WTF?", etc. I look a little closer at his profile & it says, "I play bass guitar in Hydrophobia.")
BAM!!!

There is still hope for the internet sometimes.

COMMIT SUICIDE.

Way back in 2004 in Pittsburgh, PA these guys put out a beast of unsettlingly brutal death-grind.

Serious fretboard calisthenics (but with REAL riffs), manic-running bass lines, and drum patterns that the average person couldn't figure out the time signature of make this record stand on its own - even in this day and age where there's a million 19-year-old tech-geek guitar freaks running around, spouting off about their "brootal" bands, etc.

The internet says they are still on hiatus, but it sure would be nice to see if they ever became active again and try to one-up this release.

A great record for driving home in gridlock traffic.
