Robocop - Robocop II

Robocop - Robocop II
Grind core Karaoke




Robocop were from Orono, Maine but unfortunately they recently called it quits. I guess you could call Robocop a grindcore band, and you wouldn't be wrong, especially since their latest release, Robocop II, was released by Grindcore Karaoke, a label Daryl recently jocked on here with other greats like Kunt Puncher, Inerds, Cloud Rat and Wadge. The thing is, Robocop wasn't content to be just a grindcore band, and this album thoroughly puts grind in the blender with power violence, thrash, noise and even sludge.

The results are a cacophonous, blast of ear-bleeding goodness, along with audio clips from the movie... you guessed it: Robocop 2! People who like their music putrid and unsociable are invited, all others must fuck off and die.

Recommended for fans of Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck, Wadge and Bastard Noise.

Distant Relative - First Folio

Distant Relative - First Folio
Grindcore Karaoke




Distant Relative is a solo artist named Dustin Johnston; he works with analog equipment to make a furious amount of hisses, clicks, pops, and screeches. Released through J. Randall's label Grindcore Karaoke they have a, thus far, prolific output.

I don't know too much about First Folio or Distant Relative; so I will do my best in relaying how good this album is.

If you're a fan of Guilty Connector or Hair Police you will very much enjoy this album. As much as one could say this about any harsh-noise recording; this record had a very linear feel to it. Not in the sense that it was predictable, more in that it had a very direct feeling. A feeling of being led somewhere, and when it ends, it feels natural.

Short tracks, unified names, and often times more conservative than crushing; I've listened to First Folio all the way through a half dozen times, and I'm still loving it.

I give this album a rating of "psssssstskizzlpssssssstBooooshvrrrrrrrr!!!"

Death By Horsecock - Azraël

Death By Horsecock - Azraël
Et Pourtant




This album makes me feel alone, and that I'm hurtling through space safely encased in an energy field. I don't know where I'm going, or if I'm going at all; and I don't care.

DBHC mix electronics with field recordings and other audio samples that will play tricks on your mind. Azraël plays out more like one long song instead of the twelve that are listed. At first listen it falls in to the category of ambient-noise; upon further exploration, however, one comes to find themselves lost in the dense, acrid emptiness of a soundtrack to an existence in the cold of space.

This record is spooky at times, but mostly it's just an odyssey of mostly epic proportions into a world of cosmic bounty.

This album is for fans of... drugs.

Their Myspace stuff has Mediafire links to all recordings.

Aderlating - Spear of Gold and Seraphim Bone Part I

Aderlating - Spear of Gold and Seraphim Bone Part I
devotionalhymns


There was a brief moment I had listening to this record when I thought for a moment of a childhood nightmare in which the floors and monsters were one morphing isometric prison of evil. I snapped to and realized Aderlating has made one of the creepiest recordings I've ever heard.

Spear of Gold and Seraphim Bone pt.1 is a profoundly dark experience. Blackened in its base, this album pushes you off of cliffs so high you have no choice but to listen to each sound of it's ten minute opener Black Emperor at the Temple's Gate, instantly followed by a brutal feast of speed and force on Descending the Narka I. It's clear this will be the music you hear as you gaze upon the wonders hell has to offer you during your eternal stay at the warmest spiritual torture resort in existence.

I recommend this album to be paired with enslaving souls, and goblets full of innocence.
