Human Discount - Live Demo 5.11.2011

Human Discount is a crustcore / crustgrind band from Penza, Russia. They mostly compare musically to bands like Axiom, Disrupt, State Of Fear, Consume, Nuclear Death Terror, etc. Also mixed in are some d-beat and grindcore influences. Very much looking forward to hearing more from this band. Here's their first demo; a live recording of one of their local gigs!

Arseholocaust - Demo (2011)

Arseholocaust is a 3-piece political crustgrind band from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. They play in the vein of bands like Extreme Noise Terror, Disrupt, Dropdead, etc. This first demo by the band is enjoyable, although honestly not the most exciting stuff of the genre, however, I suspect these guys will get far more intensive as they continue on!

Skunk - Demo (2008)

Skunk is a crustcore band from Winnipeg, Canada. The lineup is comprised of members of Archagathus, Violent Gorge, Skeleton, Loutish and the rest of the fabulous Winnipeg scene. Some seriously crushing but catchy crust, in the vein of bands like Extreme Noise Terror, Disrupt, Consume, State Of Fear, etc. But of course, this has a very mincing vibe to it due these noises coming out of the infamous Winnipegosis scene. Here's their first self-released demo cd-r.

Ulcerrhoea - Rise For The Downfall (2007)

Ulcerrhoea was a one-man goregrind (early years) / crustgrind / mincecore band from Sweden who was active from 1998 to 2003. Magnus Lundberg was the extremely talented swede behind this band and has since gone on to do a handful of other solo projects, such as Netjajev Society System and Syphilitic Vaginas. Rise For The Downfall compiles all of the more obscure or harder to find releases of the band, (mostly demos and rehearsal tapes) on one CD. I definitely recommend checking out anything by Ulcerrhoea if you don't know them and no matter of what type of grind you're into, because it's got something for everyone.

Devastation Of Life - Demo (2006)

Devastation Of Life is a crustgrind band from Greece and I'm not sure when they formed, although I'd presume around the early 2000s. Still relatively unknown, Devastation Of Life are comparable to Disrupt, Extreme Noise Terror or even Rot. This is their second CD-r demo.

Birth & Deterioration - Spit CD-R

Birth are an old-style goregrind two-piece from St. Paul, Minnesota, USA and Deterioration are a crusty grindcore band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Birth play an absolutely disgusting and relentlessly pulverizing form of old-school crusty goregrind - very much comparable to Autophagia, Dead Infection, Last Days Of Humanity, Regurgitate, Lymphatic Phlegm, etc. - and while retaining most of the cheesy b-movie gore goodness, Birth are adamant of expressing their anti-sexist, anti-racist, anti-oppressive views.

Deterioration are not goregrind, but are quite similar to Birth, in that they do not skim on the intensity. They deliver an intensive blast of fast grindcore, immediately bringing to mind Insect Warfare or Warsore. The split was self-released by the bands themselves and is still available from Deterioration, HERE. So I encourage you to spare the money if you can, and support the DIY grinders!

Shitfaced - Cannibalistic Noise Feast (2011)

Shitfaced is a one-man noisecore band from a small town in Sweden. I can't even really attempt a description of just how incredibly fucking amazing this 3" CD is but I'll say that it's insanely goofy, primitive, intensive, noisy, savage, DIY and sloppy. There are obvious influences coming from all facets of old-school grind, such as from crustgrind, goregrind and also mincecore. This is definitely NOT just another noisecore band, this is some of the most authentic old-school grind who brings forth all the best element of the genre. HIGHLY recommended and keep your fucking eye on this band!

Archagathus & Goner - Raw Grind Whirlwind Of Doom (2009)

Archagathus is a mincecore band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and Goner is a two-piece crustgrind band from Los Angeles, California, USA. Archagathus sound exactly like Agathocles and Rot, to the finest detail; simple and catchy but heavy songs with two riffs maximum, blast beats, d-beats, polka beats and duel-vocal trade offs (one being a pitch-shifter). Goner is an extremely intense, pulverizing, fast and crusty band; explicitly influenced by the likes of Excruciating Terror, Ulcerrhoea and Warsore. They're also still relatively new and have few releases out, which you'll definitely be sad about after you hear their side of the split. This was released on tape by Don't Fear The Night Tapes and I'm pretty sure it's sold out, but you can write an ask.

Massgrave - Alive & Thriving 2012 USA Tour

Massgrave is a ferocious, sociopolitical-fulled crustgrind band from Vancouver, BC, Canada. Their 'Alive & Thriving' tour in May and June of 2012 will be I think either their 4th or 5th tour through the states. Anyway, you need to go if they're coming to to you and be sure to pick up their new self-titled CD / LP if you can, because it fucking rules.

Massgrave - Massgrave (2011)

Massgrave is a crustgrind band from Vancouver, BC, Canada. Not sure exactly when they formed - probably around 2000 or 2001 - and as far as I'm concerned, they've been the single most important band carrying on the crustgrind tradition that Napalm Death (more so F.E.T.O.) - Extreme Noise Terror - Disrupt - Dropdead and Excruciating Terror lead from the late 1980s-mid 1990s. And so as you can probably anticipate, Massgrave IS the next chronological crustgrind band that comes next; they're music, lyrics and conceptuals are basically all of the above bands - give or take a few additional crusting and grinding influences - mashed together in blender by a bunch of lovable, non-hygienic and pissed crusties who probably prefer to eat organic potatoes (fuck yeah). Although the sociopolitical lyrical content is really nothing new for the genre, I find they have a greater impact than any of the above bands and am not entirely sure why.

They've finally been getting some much deserved attention outside BC, which is likely due to their excessive and continued touring of Canada as well as the states - and which means their likely headed your way soon if you're in North America, so fucking GO SEE THEM! They played here in Toronto a long-ass time ago with F.A.T.O. and I'm eternally horrified I was not there, but I was probably a wee child who was just discovering Darkthrone at the time. Random fact you probably don't care about: I included the lyrics to "Unbalanced Privileged" from the record, on an assignment I did on oppression and privilege for my social work class.

Here's their most recent release, a self-titled CD / LP released by the almighty Haunted Hotel Records in NYC (support them and buy a copy if you like it, it's a fucking rad label).
