LAST.FM)
Goofy black metal legends have finally returned. Haven't been able to listen to all of it yet, but from what I can gather not much has changed between 2002 and 2009. If you like their past work, grab it. The title track is on the above linked myspace if you're on the fence about it. I would like to note that I am disappointed in how entirely not retarded the album cover is. Wish I had the cash to pre-order the LP. You can grab it for around $25 over at
Nuclear Blast's webstore. Kind of expensive.
Edit: Apparently I need to work on cloaking my shit better.

Easily my favorite record from these punk-fueled grindcore/death metal dudes. They effortlessly blend the dynamics of both grind and death metal in a way that really blows my mind. An absolute must have for anyone that claims to enjoy aggressive music. Don't act like you ain't know.

The Locust - New Erections

LISTEN)
I'm pretty sure most are familiar with these guys. But if you aren't the produce a blend of spastic, experimental hardcore with a grindy bent to it. This is their latest effort, released in 2007, and they are really starting to expand and fill out their sound adding in some slower doomy, sludgy riffs that really compliment the faster parts. I think I enjoy this record the most as a whole, the eleven tracks clocking in around 24 minutes. My only qualm is the album really comes to a climax during Book Of Bot and the two following songs seem a bit tacked on. One of their best, I'll post up more later.

Hardcore/Powerviolence band featuring members of Spazz, Our Turn, and Look Back And Laugh. A super-group, if you will. The 7" is six rippin' tracks that you would expect from these dudes and two really, really fuckin' heavy instrumentals that you wouldn't expect but I definitely enjoy. Awesome record, I really can't stop listening to it.

This band sounds like the illegitimate love child of Spazz and Crossed Out. With the whole disk clocking in at just over five minutes, it's worth listening to at least once.

A few recent leaks...
Originally thought the Baroness was a myspace rip. Apparently not, or at least that's what I've heard. Production is dumpy, but its encoded at 192, so who the fuck knows. Enjoy and don't tell big brother.
Update: Got ganked guys. I'll re-up when this shit cools off if you missed out.

This album has a close place to my heart. Specifically because I listened to it for the first time when I was fourteen years old and hated it. A lot. A few years later I gave it another listen and actually enjoyed it. Essentially they were a short lived German thrash/hardcore band that didn't put out all that much material. Decent stuff, the most notable track being 'Emo Kids Blown To Shit'.

Kind of old news I suppose, but I've been spinning this a lot lately and thought I'd share. Newest release from Polish death metal champions Vader. Despite line-up changes, this album totally shreds.

Really stupid name, really good ritualistic black metal. If you wanna get your left hand path on and invoke some serious shit, jam this out. Creepy in the best way possible.

Seattle based band that combined elements of hardcore and black metal. Unfortunately, this coined the fucking retarded term 'blackcore' that morons insist on using. Definitely worth the hard drive space. Do it.

via Last.fm:In an interview with Tony Rettman of Blastitude, Pissed Jeans’ singer described their sound and intent with the following: “The idea was to start a different kinda punk band focused on dead ended carnal cravings, sexual depression…that sort of thing. Mainly we just wanted to bludgeon the listener with dull, monotonous droning rock music that just sucks the energy out of you, the musical equivalent to watching a toilet flush.”
Pretty perfect description if I do say so myself.

Yet another sludge band from Miami, Florida. Not much else to say other than this shit is quality. Not breaking any molds, but quality.
