MESRINE.

Serial-Killer "inspired" deathish grindcore from Quebec.

Although the description sounds lame, these guys are not - forget about what you may think about "gore-grind, etc. as these guys know how to make it heavy as well as being able to grind that puny excuse you call your "manhood" right the fuck off...

HONOR ROLE.

There's been alot of "highly underrated" bands I've featured here, but these guys are definitely in the upper echelon of that category.

If you don't know who Pen Rollings is, now is the time to get your shit on track!

This here fine live recording was given to me by some righteous motherfucker after a show I was selling merch at while on tour w/ a "supergroup" of sorts - let's just say Dave Lombardo was in it, okay? Anyways, said awesome dude handed me 3 or 4 CD-R's at the merch table and this one was the keeper!

If anyone wants to go for it and figure out the track listing that would be awesome. Shit, if you REALLY are a bad ass, then figure out the track list for the previously-posted Coalesce set as well and send them to me.

Now playing: The Accüsed - Martha Splatterhead/Slow Death

MÖRSER.

Two vocalists (at one point they had three), two guitarists, & two bassists round out this tight and brutal-as-fuck German metal machine.
This goes out by request for faithful reader Sueleiman.
Enjoy!

Mörser - 10,000 Bad Guys Dead

GORGOROTH.

The latest (and last) offering from one of the "classic" Black Metal bands.
This thing was released for a short time before they decided to call it a day due to conflict within the band.
While this is far from being one of their best releases, the set list on this covers alot of their catalogue. Politics aside, these guys have always kicked my ass throughout their run; ain't many BM bands I can say that about these days.
