Grind My Gears – The Arson Project

Grind My Gears
I've sat on this release for a few months now, biding my time before finally deciding to share it with my dedicated Grinders. I'm taking ownership of you all because I feel responsible for your lives, in the most minute of ways; my suggestions/turns of phrase could save or ruin your day after all! The Arson Project are responsible for taking my life in a new, positive direction in their own unique way, so maybe my ranting and raving about them can do the same for you. This weeks grind entrée is significantly more punk than you might be used to, but don't let that spook ya. These Swedes get politically charged, pissed off and drop enough hardcore goings on to keep the push pit poppin'.

The Drip – The Haunting Fear Of Inevitability

Reviews
2016 grindcore spilled out into the world like creeping, black tar; 'twas quite simply a fantastic year for fans of d-beats, politically infused lyrical batterings and buzzsaw guitar tones. Fantastic stuff for all who proudly slave to the grind. This year now has a lot to live up to, and Relapse have readied the rest of the crowd with the debut full length from The Drip. The Haunting Fear Of Inevitability might be this act's first full length but it is far from their first musical offering; eagle eyed readers will remember A Presentation Of Gruesome Poetics. Are the d-beats still full of D? Is the crust as fuzzy as ever? Is it inevitable that there is a third question here?
