EMETH.



Every now and then when I'm rummaging through my music collection I come across stuff that I have no clue as to when I got it, let alone even knowing what it sounds like - does this ever happen to you? Anyways, I was just checking this out, and the best I can tell is that it is Belgian in origin and is a fucking crazy mix of technical death-grind-thrash. Really interesting/chunky riffage, complete with some seriously off-kilter time changes that totally work without coming off like that spastic art-noise-grind (fake) shit that seems to be popular with the kids nowadays.

If anyone has a rip of their latest record "Telesis", send it my way please.

(And now back to my ice cream)

CYNIC.



My homie Jebus Zombiechrist was asking for "Focus" by Cynic, but it's not too hard to find it around the 'ol webernet, so I figured I throw up not one but THREE different demos of the legendary-and-underrated tech/death metal masters.

D/L 3 Demos by CYNIC right here.

ASPIRIN FEAST.



Some rare as fuck early 90's Seattle hardcore for you.

One of my favorite hardcore records ever, this one feels like it is actually from the 80's to me, and as far as Seattle hardcore goes, I pretty much only need these guys and The Accüsed and I'm all set.

This fucking rips.
One of the best band names ever as well...

D/L Aspirin Feast - How Do You Call The Cops On The Cops? right here.

By unanimous request...

Here's the other Aspirin Feast 7" for you - Police Beat.

Enjoy more from the lost classic of a HC band, and kudos to you for having "good taste"!

SOILENT GREEN.



Grabbed this off Soulseek last night - the release date is mid-April - and gave it the true test of a late night ghetto-cruise around S.F.
Needless to say it passed my test as I played it again this morning on my way to a bike ride in Golden Gate Park.

This record is MUCH better than "Confrontation" - which wasn't all that bad - but coming off of "A Deleted Symphony"...well, THAT record (and their previous output) is hard to beat in my eyes.
Good to see that these guys have come to be a cohesive unit once again after years of (huge) personal setbacks, etc.

*The only thing I do not like about this record is the incredibly shitty cover artwork*

D/L Soilent Green - Inevitable Collapse In The Presence Of Conviction right here.

EFFIGY.



Posted up that split these Japanese dark thrash-crust underlords did with Hellshock a while back; here is their first release from back in 1999.
Raw, heavy, cold and they even get a bit psychedelic at times!

(Only the Japanese can get away with that kind of shit).

D/L Effigy - Evil Fragments right here.




Now playing: Monster X - Nailed To The X
