Oniku - Bokujou (2012)


Oniku is a one-man goregrind band from Tokyo, Japan. Formed in 2006, Oniku plays absolutely crushing and straight-ahead old-school goregrinding; taking major influence from Carcass, Regurgitate, Dead Infection as well as newer bands like Autophagia or Dysmenorrheic Hemorrhage. Also, a huge amount of crust and d-beat / hardcore influence prevalent within the noise. Despite this almost "cute" looking cover, Oniku is definitely one of the best newer goregrind bands going and are certainly one to keep an eye out for; delivering a full blast of disgusting, relentless and vomitous chaotic intensity. Bokujou is the first full-length of that band and was self-released on CD-R in 2012.

Arachnida - They Will Have Their Revenge (2009)


Arachnida is a one-man gorenoise project from somewhere in the USA. Sonically, it's most comparable to the thick, filthy and chaotic sounds of Bacteriophagia / Vomitoma; which makes me suspect Styv might be behind this project. Also many similarities to classic gorenoise, like Anal Birth, Biocyst, Urine Festival, HxAxSx, Enterorrhagia, etc. If you haven't guessed yet, the lyrical and conceptual themes revolve around our sinister and cunning spider friends. This tape is the first release of the project and was release by Sweet & Sour Sewage (another incarnation of Splatterfuck / Degenerate Slime) and Aimless Productions

ALL LINKS ARE TEMPORARILY DEAD

The mediafire account I've been using has been suspended. I don't know how long it will last but until then, you can't download most uploads here. This happened because I have exceeded the limit for strikes, which are placed on one's account each time someone contacts mediafire about an upload that they own and would like taken down.

PLEASE, anyone who wants a mediafire upload removed from the internet I ask that you kindly just email me personally at: freetogrind AT gmail DOT COM and I will respect your wishes. Going to mediafire about this in the future could mean they shut down my entire account altogether.

UPDATE: The mediafire account is still suspended and I assume this must be permanent, so I created a new 4shared account and am slowly replacing old files.

Meatus, Streptococcus Pyogenes & Human Jerky - 3-Way Split Tape (2012)


Meatus is a goregrind band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; Streptococcus Pyogenes is a pathological goregrind one-man band from Athens, Greece; Human Jerky is a goregrind two-piece band from St-Jean Sur Richelieu, Quebec, Canada. Absolutely amazing tape; three noisy, disgusting, filthy, chaotic, old-school pathological goregrind bands who all take major influence by punk and are some of the greatest in the current scene. And as is accurately titled this tape: noisy goregrind still exists, fuck you! The split was release by the Canadian, Aggressive Valley Tapes (who is run by Joe of Meatus) and Stick Your Nose In A Garbage Bag Full Of Medical Waste Records from Greece (who is run by Nick of Streptococcus Pyogenes).

Embryonic Cryptopathia, Biological Monstrosity & Vomitoma - 3-Way Split Tape (2010)


Embryonic Cryptopathia is a goregrind band from Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Biological Monstrosity is a goregrind band from Longueuil, Quebec, Canada; Vomitoma is a one-man gorenoise band from Byesville, Ohio, USA. Three fantastic gory bands playing old-school, sickening, filthy, pulverizing, vomitous and putrid goregrind the way it was meant to be and whom are some of the best in the current grind scene today. The split was released by Splatterfuck Records from the USA and Brain Damage Records from Canada.

Sakatat - Bir Devrin Sonu (2012)


Sakatat is a grindcore / mincecore band from Ankara / Istanbul, Turkey. They play straight-ahead, aggressive, completely oldschool and somewhat frantic mincing grindcore with main influence being Agathocles, Rot, Dahmer, Unholy Grave, Denak, Abortion, Carcass Grinder, etc. All their lyrics are in Turkish, which I am not fluent in, but in an interview Sakatat had said they consider themselves a political band - presumably in the same style done so by their influences.

Not really a whole lot else to say but they are some fantastically pulverizing newer mince done right from a country with hardly any grind scene and you probably already know them if you like this sort of stuff. Bir Devrin Sonu is the first full-length CD of the band - although short enough to be a demo - and was released on CD / LP by Everydayhate from Poland and Bring Of Gore from Belgium.

Streptococcus Pyogenes & Infester - Split Tape (2010)

 

Streptococcus Pyogenes is from Athens, Greece and Infester is from Arkansas, USA. Both are one-man bands and both play pathological goregrind. Major influences and musical comparisons are more or less the same between the two; classic goregrind masters like Carcass, Dead Infection, Regurgitate, Last Days Of Humanity, Necrony, Pathologist, Ulcerous Phlegm, etc. Newer goregrind bands that come to mind in terms of influences and similarities would Autophagia, Dysmenorrheic Hemorrhage, Feculent Goretomb, Lymphatic Phlegm, Oxidised Razor, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Scatologic Madness Possession, Mixomatosis, etc.

The only significant differences between these bands is that SxPx takes considerably more influence from crust / hardcore punk, while Infester takes a little bit more of a death metal tone to their noise. Absolutely disgusting, pulverizing, noisy, crusty, filthy, chaotic, vomitous old-school goregrind delivered from both bands wo are undoubtedly some of the best in the current scene and surely, of all time! This split was released by Nick from Streptococcus Pyogenes with very limited numbers and has been sold out for some time.

Hyperemesis & Thanatopsis - Split Tape (2012)


Hyperemesis is a one-man pathological goregrind band from Vancouver, B.C., Canada and Thanatopsis is a two-piece pathological goregrind band, with one member from Brazil and one from Sweden. Both bands sound extremely similar, so the influences and musical comparisons between them are more or less shared as the same; classics of the early days, like Carcass, Dead Infection, Last Day Of Humanity, Regurgitate, Pathologist, Necrony or Ulcerous Phlegm, as well as from newer bands like Autophagia, Feculent Goretomb, Dysmenorrheic Hemorrhage, Lymphatic Phlegm, Oxidised Razor, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Scatologic Madness Possession, Embryonic Cryptopathia, etc. Short and to-the-point songs, chaotic, messy, crusty, disgusting, noisy and pulverizing. Both Hyperemesis and Thanatopsis are truly some of the greatest true goregrind in the current scene! This split was released by the American label, Regurgitated Stoma Stew Productions.

Carbonized Entrails - Dissection Of Infected Anatomy (2012)


Carbonized Entrails is a one-man pathological goregrind band from somewhere in Mexico. The band plays a digusting, pulverizing and heavily crust-influenced vein of the genre, extremely similar to later bands like Autophagia, Dysmenorrheic Hemorrhage, Feculent Goretomb, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Scatologic Madness Possession, Hyperemesis or Streptococcus Pyogenes. Always fantastic to hear more punk-influenced goregrind of this style in the current scene, but I do find this early material of the band to be a little underwhelming; the songs structures are very simplistic with little variation, although I'm not sure if this is the fault of the drum programming. CxHx is still very new and I strongly believe this band will get much better on coming releases, so look out for more noise from CxEx. Dissection Of Infected Anatomy is their second demo release and seems to be only available through free uploads floating on the internet.

Brottskod 11 - Brottskod 11 E.P. (2012)


Brottskod 11 is a d-beat band from Östersund, Sweden. The band mostly sounds like and takes primary influence from classic Swedish d-beat / hardcore, like Anti-Cimex, Avskum, Disarm, Shitlickers, Totalitär, etc. However, Brottskod 11 has a considerably more raging and heavier sound, highly comparable to Uncurbed, Dischange / Meanwhile and other mid-late nineties Swedish d-beat. I'd even say they have some minor similarities to World Burns To Death. This self-titled EP was released on 7" by the Czech label, Phobia Records.

Total War - 8-Track Demo (2011)


Total War is a d-beat band from Vancouver, B.C., Canada. They play raw, straight forward and in the faced-paced tradition of early Scandinavian d-beat / hardcore, like Anti-Cimex, Crude S.S., Disarm, Shitlickers, Mob 47, No Security, Totalitär, etc. Catchy, yet a violent kick in the face. This is the first release  for the band and was released by the Austrian label, Black Trash Records. You can contact the band at: distortvancouver AT hotmail DOT COM.

Column Of Heaven - Mission From God (2012)


Column Of Heaven are a powerviolence band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Formed in 2011 after The Endless Blockade split up, two of the members decided to carry on playing more or less where TEB left off; taking classic Westcoast powerviolence, like Crossed Out, MITB, Neanderthal or No Comment, and adding a modern feel with plenty of crushing sludge and layered power electronics. On this second release from CoH, there's far more old-style death metal influence than there was previously but other than that, it has all the same musical components that TEB and the first CoH demo had. And as per the style of TEB and the prior CoH release, there are some exceptionally eerie samples layered with either noise or creepy melodies.

Thematically, there is a slight bit of a shift in gear from the more esoteric, mystical and philosophical, because this is a concept album of sorts which focuses entirely on the larger societal, political and cultural turn of events and impacts that serial killer, Peter Sutcliffe, left in the UK after his brutal killings in the 70s and 80s. Mission Of God was released on both tape (self-released) and 12" LP (on the American label, SPHC). Also, the LP came with a tape titled Soldiers Field which is basically the band doing purely power electronics and is also available on the bandcamp linked below.

Spawn From Deceit - At Least We Did Care (2011)


Spawn From Deceit is a grindcore band from Kokkola, Finland. Formed in 2009, the band plays along the lines of more 'modern' sounding grind; think of mostly newer death-metal-guitar-tone Scandinavian grind bands like Nasum, Rotten Sound, Sayyadina, Gadget, Afgrund, etc. However, SFD does not fit the confines of the sound entirely because they do come out having a unique, interesting and heavy sound with lots of fantastic crust punk and d-beat influence. Lyrically, SFD is undoubtedly a socially and politically aware band - not too far off from the style of the bands mentioned earlier - and I think it's done particularly well. At Least We Did Care is their first full-length release and I think there were no physical copies made, only free download available from the band's websites.
