My Music Path

Social media always helps me to find great music. On the Facebook group, There’s No Good Metal Anymore they actually share some great metal albums. And I came across this one: French deathgrind/crust/hardcore band Pilori from France. Their debut album 'À Nos Morts'  (To Our Dead) came out on the 26th of June and it is definitely something to mosh to. Tracklist: 1. Que la Bête Meure (with Dylan Walker from Full Of Hell) 2. Apnée 3. La Grande Terreur 4. Poursuite du Vent (with Matthias Jungbluth from Fange) 5. Roi des Rats 6. À Nos Morts 7. Lorsque Viendra la Nuit 8. Divine Comédie 9. Sous Mes Mains 10. À la Recherche de Temps Perdu 11. Danse Macabre The force is strong with this one, and that force is only strengthened by the fact that Dylan Walker from Full Of Hell is doing vocals on the opening track. Why? Because Pilori and Full of Hell are brothers so to speak. Their music has some similarities, they but it is their aesthetic that binds them. They both take much time to cre...

The one-man band Feed Them Death makes very original, very nihilistic grindcore/death metal with industrial and noise influences. Panopticism: Belong/Be Lost is their second record and I have to say, it has something that not many bands have.  Tracklist: 1. Zoneless Confinement (2:58) 2. Scar? (4:20) 3. Apologue of Descent (1:14) 4. For Our Insolent Dead (2:43) 5. Anti-modernist Extradition (2:59) 6. Prescience/Evokism III (6:07) 7. Black Bile Banquet (2:58) 8. Break The Infi/nite (1:53) 9. Lotusbluthen III (4:33) 10. Evokism II (3:36) 11. Dead Is Better (2:27)   Although the band is relatively young (formed in 2017) the man behind it, Void, has had his fair share of metal hair and was once the vocalist and bass player for Italian brutal death metal band Antropofagus. On this album, you can hear that death metal has not fully left him. There are some nasty death metal riffs on here and with that subtle touch of noise, it makes the record sound surprisingly fresh. When it come...

Welcome to the Humanity Sucks show with today: grind/crust/sludge band The Human Race is Filth or  T.H.R.I.F. Their second EP 'Liberate' was released on April 6th and was recorded in the Oblivion Studios where Pig Destroyer and Agoraphobic Nosebleed also recorded their violent walls of terrorgrind. Tracklist 1. Native Biological Warfare 2. Burning The Swines 3. Vein Full 4. Hung By Illusion 5. Chain Game 6. Capital Torture 7. Slow March 8. Concrete Soldier T.H.R.I.F. has put up a similar wall, but more crusty and stable, mainly due to the alternation between fast and sludgy slow riffs like on 'Chain Game'. This keeps the album fresh and interesting. The grunts sound sore throaty, especially in the super slow song 'Slow March' where you almost see the pharynx slowly turn reddish until there are small boils of pus that eventually snap and .....o sorry I went full goregrind mode on you there, just a sec.....ahem. The band is not so keen...

Dagelijks komt er zoveel interessante muziek voorbij op onder andere social media en om dat allemaal bij te houden is bijna een onmogelijke taak. Om die reden zal ik per maand één band onder de aandacht brengen  in het onderdeel Ondergrondse Ontdekkingen. We beginnen met een duistere crust/punk/doom/sludge metalband uit Washington: ILSA ziet het leven in 2008. De band ontstond vanuit Time Of The Wolf, de vorige band waar Brendan, Joshy en Orion in speelden. De reden? Gitarist Dylan wilde iemand een mep verkopen maar verkocht zijn mep aan een raam. Met vier doorgesneden pezen kon Dylan een periode geen gitaar spelen en terwijl hij aan het genezen was, richtten de andere bandleden met vrienden Sharad en Garrett ILSA op om toch iets te doen te hebben.  Van links naar rechts: Orion (zang), Brendan (gitaar), Sharad (bas), Joshy (drums), Tim (gitaar) Hoe klinkt de band: De band klinkt als een enorme brok beton waar stalen pinnen uitsteken die omringd zijn ...
