THAT NEW YORK FRAME OF MIND- JAZZED OUT DEATH METAL

Metal post coming atcha, cuz i have not done one of those in a while. I got nostalgic after the Biolich post and unearthing of their miraculous 2003 promo, and so I wanna post a bunch of shit that I listened to at the time that I saw them live, when I lived in NYC. I'm not gonna rant, cuz its gonna get sentimental, I dont like that, this is the internet, and I dont know you. Therew as basically no grindcore things going on in New York at that time, there were mad crusties and punk kids, and also, metal guys listening to all sorts of crazy metal, and some grindcore, very interestingly enough.
First up I wanna post some stuff that I got to see frequently. I also have the 2004 Biolich demo, gonna give you that, I have already talked of them, they rule, weird, emo-esue riffs with crazy death/grind, gutturals, acoustic guitars, which I hate, but its not weak and shitty.
Then, its that crazy Copremesis stuff I also talked of. Gook is the man, still in contact, still the man, here is their album called Muay Thai Ladyboys. Crazyness, death/grind about transvestites, super guttural, unimaginable weird riffs that dont make any fucking sense, god I love this shit, tis almost like noise/grind, except super teched out.
Then, its Animals Killing People, vegan death/grind that sounds very much like NYC death/grind, super high annoying snare drum, gutturals the whole time, slam riffs, hyper blasts, puking, intros of animals, unsurprisingly, killing people. The last track is the bomb. Just saying, they all rule, but that one has sex with your mom.

Copremesis- Muay Thai Ladyboys
Animals Killing People- Human Hunting Season


Next up is Malignancy, who hardly ever played, at least at venues that I went to, maybe because of things being busy, or maybe just because the New York metal scene was notoriously crappy at the time, I dunno if it got better, hope so. Anyways, technical as all hel, their demo stuff and first album are much easier to comprehend, so Im gonna throw that at you first on the list. Their later stuff is crazier, and as a band that developed its own sound to a degree where you can tell its them on any album from roughly 1.2 seconds of riffage, not to mention vocals, which are like growls, but totally unique, they progress in their sound, becomign less and less like other bands, and more and more like themselves. At this point, they are uncategorizable. Completely. They started off as a death/grind, gore influenced band, but went totally beyond that even at the demo stages, and now its outta control. My favorite happens to be Motivated By Hunger, but they are all masterpieces. Some of these are my own rips, some aren't.

Malignancy- Ignorance Is Bliss (demos compilation)
Malignancy- Intrauterine Cannibalism
Malignancy- Motivated By Hunger
Malignancy- Intervalle Bizzarre Split
Malignancy- Cross-Species Transmutation
Malignancy- Inhuman Grotesqueries

A little bit similar, but totally different, is Bound and Gagged. They have retarded lyrics, which are not about anything, and the vocals get annoying after like 3 tracks, but the music is absolutely insane. There are weird slapped bass licks, intense blasts that are constant, lots of weird jazz shit, insane guitars, everything is played like 3.5 times, I dont think theres a single 4X4 riff on here. If youre into that, I think you will like it, if not, then probably not.

Bound and Gagged- Fornicate the Gutted

Pustulated. What can really be said about the best band in this genre? To me, they are by far the coolest band like this, mainly because of their insane drummer, who has these sweet ass licks he uses, with little frills and thrills to spice it up for you. Also, his blast beasts are totally off the chain. He played with Brodequin a while ago, on their first album, and he also pélays in a country rock band. I uploaded their split with Corpemesis up here, so you might already have an idea of what this band is like. All of their albums are different though. My favorite is the one pictured above, it is nicely trecorded, the lows are super low, the highs are ince and clean, their pslit is dirty as fuck, their latest one, Hematoma is slower and sounds totally mechanical, I dont really like it that much, but hey, its decent, and their first offering is more typical of the genre, but still really good. So check em out.

Pustulated- Pathogonomic Purulency

Pustulated- Inherited Cryptorchidism

Pustulated- Hematoma

Okay, this band everyone fucken hates, I dont know but one guy besides me who likes them, but people who like them become really big fans. I am one of these losers, I obsess over this band as well. If anyone can give me their demos I would be very, very happy. These two things are the only things I can get my hands on. Kinda sucks.
The music is really thick and chaotic, you cannot really grasp or go with anything that happens, I have no idea how these songs are written, rehearsed and played. I just dont know. Its amazing. Its just a murky, chaotic mess, ecery time I listen to it I always visualize like a headless, tailless serpent being just writhing around and around, looking nasty. I seriously recommend it, although everyone seems to hate. Their earlier stuff is a like a bit easier to get into. But not that much.

Enmity- Vomit Forth Intestinal Excrement

Enmity- Illuminations Of Vile Engorgement

And to top it all of, here is all of the stuff I own by Mortician. Not that much, was never a huge fan, I like the fact that they down tune so low as to be basically indistinguishable noise on the crappier recordings, and to sound like various kinds of fuzz on the better sounding ones. I like their short songs better than their long ones. Thes epeople have an understanding of brutality that I like, but again, the lyrics are like watching a cheesy horror flick on repeat. Its amuzing for like 3-4 tracks and then its just like, man, give me a break. But its awesome, great drummer, the drum mahcine stuff is also kinda good. Enjoy.

Mortician- Chainsaw Dismemberment

Mortician- House By The Cemetery

Mortician- Mortal Massacre

Mortician- Domain Of Death

13 ALBUMS, A RACE RANT, AND SOME PICTURES. NEAT-O!!!!!

So I have a wide range of albums for you on this post. I have every genre with blast beats included, there is some death metal and death/grind, of course ye olde style grindcore, with that gory influence, some crust, a power violence record, and even some old school noise/HC, better known as noisecore. Pretty much only gore grind, to whom too much of the past posts have been dedicated and black metal, who I will deal with in due time are left off of the roster. However, before I present them, you have to listen to me ramble on about some issues that pis sme off. Its like that drunk guy on the bus who gave you a cigarette, and now is talking to you about his bullshit ideas all the way home. Lets begin.

The idea used today by nations to justify themselves and to create a national mythos is one that was constructed by a select few people on the turn of the century. It was heavily influenced by what had happened in the Americas, and was constructed to justify the First and Second World Wars. This new idea of nationhood and of national purity was made so that, specifically Eatsern, Southern and Central Europe, which have always, and I mean ALWAYS been multi-ethnic and multi-cultural king or fiefdoms, would have to be smashed, re-regulated and bent over backwards to the status quo residing in the west, in France, England and the Netherlands specifically. This was done extremely well, and after this idea of nationhood, destructive from its very begginings, and a piece of crap ideologically speaking, has served its uses to its creators, Western European leaders, it is still lives on today, and people have internalized it as God given truth. The stupidity of people is indeed baffling. And all of you who are on the left ro right of any issue, are just buying in to the same idiotic, preconceived deception, that was made depending on where people sat in the British House of Commons.
We need to abandon this idea of borders containing an ethnicity. It has never worked in this part of the world. The Scythian empire, pictured above, is a mobile empire based not on genetics or borders, or "country" of origin, but based on language, shared cultural values, and whether or not you were accepted into the tribe. That is what nationality is. The modern problems of Americans resulting from "race" are just as bogus as the territorial disputes in the Balkans, the war between Greece and Turkey, the civil war in Macedonia, or indeed any conflict in those areas int he 20th century, barring a few exceptions. These places have enough food to feed more than just their own populations, enough land that there need not be wars of conquest, and enough history of people getting along, that to dwell on these recent atrocities and blame each other for them is beyond idiotic. I think we should all occupy all the land, and understand ourselves in terms of mobile empires. It is not a solution for world peace, but it is one that makes sense.

Now for the grrrrrrrrrrind. Ima get the death metalish stuff out of the way first, cuz that is what I believe the least of our readers like.
This band, Orchidectomy. What can I say? This stuff is totally inhuman, it sounds like its being played by aliens, or monsters or some shit. The riffs are very hard to sink your teeth into, technical, but strangely timed, not wankerish, just weird and spastic, insanely fast at times, really chugga-chug at other times. I put their album "A Prelates Attrition" and their promo stuff in one folder. By the way this band is probbaly the most guttural shit out there today, along with Copremesis, Wormed and Pustulated. Super fuckin inhuman vocals.
ALIENS MONSTERS ON A CRACK INDUCED KILLING SPREE.
Next up is the godly Malignancy. Weirdest band out there, besides Portal. Despite the tough, death metallish gimmick and the fact that they are giant metal dudes, this is a nerd band. The songs are about gross stuff, medical anomalies, psychological tension and maladjustment in general. Some of the songs are about killing people. Its a death metal band, after all. One of the innovators of death/grind, a genre I am not that keen on. But this stuff, and a few others make it worth my while.
NERDY DEATH/GRIND.

Next up is Necrovore's demo from the legendary 80s Texas scene. It is their only demo. It sounds so harsh, that many of you Disclose and Death Dust Extractor fans will shed a tear of joy, and the old school death metal genre will be salvaged, even for your type. It sounds like nothing else, I totally love this demo, although it is 4 tracks, and really friggin hard to get through.

EASY LISTENING.

This next one is also really fucking psycho. Masturbation (gotta love that name) is from Colombia and they play, like, i dunno, industrial death metal? Also frighteningly guttural, and the music is almost noise core, all you can hear is the hyper blast, it all sounds so tinny and distorted and fucked up, its a real mind fuck of an album, some mediocre riffs from time to time, but mostly just blasting and you cannot hear the guitar at all. Perfect for the nightly prayers of the blast beat worshipper. Smoke a fatty and you will pass out to this.

INDUSTRIAL MASTURBATORY WEIRDO GRIND.

This next one cannot be fucked with. Dead Congregation rule, and this is their full length. Old school, cryptic death metal, with new school death metal drumming (courtesy of the Inveracity drummer), but almost like a death/doom album with blast beats. These guys probably dont smoke weed, they just dont sound like the type at all. Its apocalyptic, heavy, doomish, but gets frighteningly fast at times, it is pure fucking evil. Just a great album, set new standards for death metal, I am extremely pleased that I bought this for only 10 bucks form NWN! productions, although I got mine on CD. I am sure this sounds absolutely killer on vinyl, I will have to pick up a second hand copy of it from somewhere.
CRUSHING YOUR HEAD, THEY'RE CRUSHING YOUR HEAD.


That is all the metal I have got. The next stuff is Dahmer, from Canada, gore influenced old school grind with some d-beats, tons of mid-tempo blast beats, awesome riffage, just a great band in any respect, awesome pig squeal guturals, dual vocal action with awesome shouts as the second voice. Really catchy riffs, although all the songs are very similar. They are good, though, I like em tons, and I want to present some of their more obscure stuff, since everybody knows like 2-3 albums or splits from this band, and they were much more prolific than that. They also had a bunch of lo-fi recordings, and these are the ones I wanna talk about.
First up, their 3 way split tape with Diarhée Mentále, also from Canada, and Carcass Grinder, for whom my love has already been professed. If not, they are one of the greatest grindcore bands out there. Pretty much it. DM sounds similar to Dahmer, but sillier and crustier, in some ways. They have cookie monster vocals all the livelong day. I think they might have shared some members. Anyway, tape is fairly lo-fi, Dahmer side still sounds good, though.
COOOOOOOOOKIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Next one is their demo, Dahmerized, which is like 3 demos in reality, one of them sounds good, one of them sounds aight, and one of them sounds super crappy. This is classic Dahmer stuff. Not much more to say, great tape from a great band.
TAPE IS THE FORMAT FOR GRIND.
Just recently a post was made on Cephalochromoscope about Parade Of The Lifeless, being their full length. Its good, but not as weird and noisy as their split with Dahmer. I guess Dahmer just brings the best out of everyone. POTL is like a noise band, kinda artsy, kinda grindy, sorta metalled out, really really weird stuff. And Dahmer, they play real pro-like on this one, one of their faster recordings, too.
NOISE GRIND THAT IS NOT NOISE-GRIND.
The other piece of good old school grind is from a band that has been on this blog before, they are Jack from Hungary, and espite their name, they absolutley rule. This is one of their older albums, when they were way more crust influenced, its along the lines of the Step On It split, good stuff. The vocals arent growly yet, they sound kinda snoty and irritating, its excellent stuff, Levi is a great singer, and a hillarious front man. This one is called "Téged Akarnak" which means "They Want You". Its about the media and the military industrial complex. Excellent Hungarian grind.
SNOTTY OLD GRIND.

This next one is Masskontrol's flexi called "Recycle Or Die". It is funny, and pretty much the only Masskontrol recording with a fair amount of blast beats. Nothing over the top, mind you, they are a crust band. This is definitely their fastest recording. I do not have a physical copy of this one, it is very hard to get, as flexis tend to be. I do have their LP, and I will be posting that sometime, but not quiet yet.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY FLEXI?
This is MK-Ultra. They are from Illinois, have Charles Bronson's drummer, and just released their discography on a beautiful double LP on Youth Attack! records. The moment they run out of copies I will be posting that as well, unless they tell me not to. I wanna get people to listen to this without paying a million bucks on e-bay for some vinyl. You can get that disco LP right here, by the way. The music is disonant pv/hardcore, with a bit of old, a bit of new, lots of really, really weird things going on. Song structures are very strange for me, unlike other bands. This is their best material in my humble opinion. Do not own a physical copy, but do have it on the discography LP, which is beautiful.
MIND CONTROL.
The last one is the noisecore stuff, really old, really fast, really sloppy, really awesome. Olho Seco and Brigada De Odio are both Brazilian old school noise hardcore bands. Brigada De Odio is basically a grindcore band, but way sloppier and really over the top with the noise schenanigans. Olho Seco are more of a crust/hc band. But also noisy. And fast. Brigada De Odio supply the blastbeats.
OLD BRAZILIAN NOISE.

So Ima leave you to enjoy that. My next post will be shorter, and as I forgot some stuff here, its gonna be like an update post. Keep in touch.
