What was probably a few months ago now, I had the pleasure of seeing Nak’ay live. When I first heard them a few years ago (split with Unholy Grave) I didn’t know shit about them, other than that they came out of the ruins of Daisycutter. That particular split (the 5″ with Unholy Grave) is …
Gowl- Buzzbox EP
This record, fuck… is brilliant. Gowl manages to do so much with so little. The riffs, drumming, and song structures are primitive, yet unique. The tones and recording production are ugly. The lyrics are disguised in murk and sleaze. The whole ordeal is uncomfortable. The layout looks like it was rescued from the trash. There …

Too Early for Spring Cleaning
Every few weeks, I purge my record collection to make room for new stuff, and to get money to buy new stuff. There’s no motive of gain, some sort of pyramid scheme, or anything like that. To me, records have a utility to them. I’m not a collector, I’m just a listener. So, when searching …
5 Grindcore Records You Probably Didn’t Buy in 2010
The following are five noteworthy records released this year that I heard almost nothing about. Were it not for my love of discovering new music, I wouldn’t have known to get these. I had to really think about 5 good grind records from this year, as it seemed a sad year for new grind releases. …
Best Album Of The Year
…is Contagium‘s Archaic LP. The album contains 9 songs of pure aural bliss from these three Halifax punks. Contagium knows how to seek out a lumbering rhythm, and use it to plod along through a song until piledriving the speed at just the right moment, allowing chaos to ensue. The sparingly-used vocals are bleak and …
