The Kill - Kill Them All

The Kill is a three piece band consisting of, Jay - Blastasfuk. Roby - Axe. Nik - Abuse
Genre described as Grindcore. Band origin Melbourne, Australia

Kill Them All album released on January 3rd, 2015 Blastasfuk Records. Raw and destructive sounds. The songs are fast and will punch you straight in the face. The album features nineteen tracks and they go by quickly. Some of the stand out tracks for me would have to be Into the Drink, Lunch in QLD, Heavy Metal Professional and Smooth and Shiny. In terms of the production, this is one solid record, heavy guitar tones, destructive bass sound and crushing drums. There are also a couple of covers, The Pulsating Feast... (Regurgitate cover) and Metal Thrashing Mad (Anthrax cover). You can also hear thrash metal type riffs along with all the grind. Many of the compositions never even reach two minutes. The longest one would be the opening track Insults which is close to three minutes long.

In conclusion, don't let this one pass your radar. Catchy and speedy riffs are worth checking out. I recommended for fans of Brutal Truth, Phobia and Nasum.

Unrest - Grindcore

Unrest is a three piece band consisting of  Brooks Wilson, Chris Grigg, Steve Jansson. Genre described as Grindcore. Band origin Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Grindcore album released on March 24, 2015 through Unspeakable Axe Records. It has been several weeks now since I began to explore this release. The brutality levels are set to maximum. The speed and sheer adrenaline of their music is evident in each and every song. If you blink once you might miss a few. Songs like, You Take, Consumption and Protest Culture are among my favorites. In terms of production, the quality is very good. Heavy crunchy guitar tones and solid drum sound comes across very devastating. The lyrics are anti corporation and social unrest which fit perfect with the style being projected. False Brotherhood, Identity in the Internet Age and Protest Culture touch on those issues. If anyone wonders about the title of the album it is a safe bet to say they deliver just that "Grindcore". 

In conclusion, an intense and crushing ride. No dull moments and the album lives up to its title. Recommended for fans of Braindrill, Brutal Truth, Phobia, Agnostic Front and Degenerhate.

Nailgun Massacre - Boned, Boxed And Buried

Nailgun Massacre is a five piece band consisting of, Juggernaut-Bass. Hairybucks-Drums. Meataxe Guitars. Bonesaw-Guitars. Corpsechucker-Vocals. Genre described as Death metal. Band origin Leiden Netherlands.

Boned, Boxed And Buried album released on January 10th 2014, Xtreem Music. I have been playing this album for a few weeks now. Each song is a horror story. The music in terms of production resembles the early nineties dm albums like Entombed, Dismember, Grave, Gorefest and a few others from that era. The lyrics are the main focus for me, when I listen to the album. Being a horror movie fan, these songs resonate with me. Imaging some brutal, gorry and macabre scenes of violence from movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Saw. Except with a much better story line. The concepts contained in the tracks Mad Road Killer, Casket Full of Fun and Meat Locker could easily be scripted into horror films. This record can be played from start to finish without any dull moments. The relentless attack of mayhem keeps you on the edge of your seat. The stories are well prepared and it is easy to place the scenes in your mind as you listen. The music is straight forward death metal, nothing complex or technical. Bands like Gwar, Macabre and Mortician seem to have a big influence as far as the gore splatter aspect.

In conclusion, the sheer madness and execution of their style sets them apart from the typical death metal. The vocalist Corpsechucker emanates different styles in story telling and delivery of low, high and just plain demonic tortures of words. I recommended for fans of horror, gore and just plain bloody fun stories. ~Artemortifica

Kataplexy announces new line up.

Recent news from Chicago's Kataplexy- line up announcement.

"So while we are still auditioning drummers, we figured it would be a great idea to beef up the Kataplexy sound by adding a second guitarist to the mix. This role will be filled by none other than current 'Plexy bassist, Joel Sandoval! Joel has been itching to play guitar for a while now, so this was a perfect opportunity. 
Obviously this leaves us without a bass player, so we've decided that current 'Plexy vocalist Paul Garcia will add bass duties to his responsibilities. Paul has played bass in numerous Chicago death metal bands, so this was naturally a perfect fit. Current 'Plexy guitarist Mike Mayborne will continue to play guitar and smoke fat bowls. 
So there you have it. New guitar player, new bass player, still not gonna announce the new drummer for a couple weeks just to keep y'all guessing.

Thanks for reading and GRIND ON!"

Lectern - Fratricidal Concelebration

Lectern is a four piece band from Italy. Members include, Fabio Bava: vocals, bass. Enrico Romano: guitar. Pietro Sabato: guitar. Marco Valentine: drums. Genre described as Death metal

Fratricidal Concelebration album released on Sliptrick Records February 2015. My first thoughts, this is a full adrenaline ride. The sheer brutality comes through on each and every song. Madness and destruction awaits the unsuspecting listeners. The death metal roots are evident through the entire opus. Tracks like Labial Of Inveigher, Pulpit Of Tormentation and Deign Of Ceremonier are technical and yet carry certain melodies that are catchy and will have you moving your head. One of my favorite song would have to be Falsifier Bribed In Desanctification, it reminds me of old Pestilence. The solos are awesome and the riff arrangement is complex but still manages to bring the feeling of the old school DM across. In terms of production, this is a crushing sounding release. Drums are destructive with hyper blast beats and monsterous double kick action. Heavy distorted guitar tones with fluid sounding solos. 

In conclusion, aggressive and punishing sounds that is pure to the underground. Fans of the old school dm as well as the new generation of metalheads will want to add this one to their collection. Bands similar to their style would be Malevolent Creation, Atheist, early Slayer, Monstrosity, Gorguts, Grave and Pestilence. ~Artemoritifca
