California Love / Gehenna Split


I'll be completely honest. This isn't the best shit of all time, but it's an honest offering and interesting enough to warrant a download. It's just one track from each band, so donate five minutes of your time to being awesome.

Get fucked up.

Limp Wrist - Thee Official Discography


This is one of those records I enjoy more and more as time passes. Real fast hardcore punk with vocals that vaguely remind me of powerviolence. You already know all about Limp Wrist though, right? Right?

I love boys hardcore.

In honor of Kerry King's birthday as well as the impending evil that is national Slayer day, everyone should listen to Slayer and only Slayer today and of course, on June 6th. In preparation for this most glorious day, here is a selection of my favorites.

Slayer - Reign In Blood


Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss


Slayer - Hell Awaits


LETS LISTEN TO SOME FUKKIN' SLAYER!!! Remember kids, "National holidays in America aren't just about celebrating; they're about forcing it upon non-participants." So jack this shit up to eleven and terrify the masses on the 6th.

The Hard-Ons with Neil Hamburger - American Exports


HEY. You. You like Black Flag? Ever wonder what it would sound like if Neil Hamburger fronted the band? Well boy howdy do I have the 7" for you. Neil Hamburger and The Hard-Ons team up to produce probably the most hilarious Black Flag cover of all time (Six Pack). Also included are three other shredding punk tracks fronted by America's favorite greasy, cup-cradling comedian.

Harriet Tubman was a heroine to the slaves.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are slaves to heroin.

Decapitated - Organic Hallucinosis


First and foremost: fuck tha haters. Everyone that cried into their neckbeard when this album came out (and are probably still are currently) need to chill out. This album has some of the best death metal grooves ever. By grooves, I mean the riffage is what would shoot out if Meshuggah impregnated the last Decapitated album and the child was raised on an iceberg by a demon. Or something like that. If you were dissuaded by crybaby zipper-pants retards back when this album was released, listen to it. It's great.

RIP Vitek :(

Rest In Peace, Holy Diver.
Ronnie James Dio (July 10, 1942 – May 16, 2010)



In honor of a true metal icon dissolving into the astral realm, let's listen to some of his most unholy rituals.

Dio - Holy Diver


Life's a never ending wheel.


Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell


Midnight sea.

Anaal Nathrakh - In The Constellation Of The Black Widow


I totally slept on this record until recently. I've always loved Anaal Nathrakh, one of my favorite bands for sure. Mick's riffs shred, V.I.T.R.I.O.L.'s (AKA Dave Hunt) vocals shred even more. Literally. It sounds like his throat is being shredded into a bloody pulp. Cool. If you haven't heard them before, I highly recommend you browse through this blog and listen to The Codex Necro first. It rules.

While I wouldn't call this their best effort, it's still totally awesome (and necro). There are a couple snoozers that I didn't really enjoy, but overall a totally sinister listen. Dave continues to demonstrate the fact that he can do every form of vocal delivery in extreme music as well as belt out the most epic clean line you've ever heard once or twice an album.

Too Long No Read: Music sound good. Voice guy crazy. You listen.

Necronecronecro

Heavy Metal Parking Lot is now available on Hulu. If you don't know what that is, stop being a dork and go watch it. Essentially, two dudes just talked to a bunch of awesome metal heads tail gating before a 1986 Judas Priest show. Fuckin' Priest, dude.



Watch it here.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed/Insect Warfare Split


I have been listening to ANb's half of the this split all fucking day. It's so fucking good. I demand you download this. I've included the entire split, but fuck Insect Warfare's half. I'm pretty sure I've posted this on here a year or two ago, but for all you new listeners first-time callers, download this shit. IT'S FUCKING COOL.

Nails - Unsilent Death


I'm going to assume you've already heard this. If you haven't you need to remedy that immediately. Six Feet Under Records describes them as "Entombed covering Napalm Death." which is fairly accurate. Merciless, shredding, grinding hardcore with an oh so bitter and blood-soaked grindcore aftertaste. Delicious.

Wormlust - Demo


Icelandic black metal. Sounds like a winning combination on paper, right? Well it is. This demo is one twelve minute track that is sure to cause you to spontaneously astral project to the frostbitten, rubble-strewn coastline of their home country. Shows a lot of promise, can't wait to hear more from these guys.

Innumerable Forms - Dark Worship


This is some seriously sinister shit, fellas. The one man death metal project of Justin Detore of Mind Eraser. No frills, no triggers, only pain and suffering. Old school and archaically recorded death metal for only the sturdiest of metal warriors. Anyone with even a mild interest in diabolical brutality, this is a mandate from ye olde waste to listen to this. Obey. Immediately.

Bone Awl - Sunless Xyggos




So apparently Klaxon finally went under, which isn't a huge surprise as those guys ran their label like a total shitshow. This is a final tape from punkish black metal dweebs Bone Awl. Same feel as the rest of their stuff, fast and furious black metal riffs, awkwardly recorded percussion. This tape is instrumental and especially savage, the repetitive riffage pretty pummeling. Harsh shit. They even slowed it down to a lumbering stomp for the final track What Are You Waiting For which I especially enjoyed.
