reviewing the 10 most recent albums in bandcamp's grindcore tag without listening to the whole album
1 - Ved mørkets frembrudd by DVALE
this is just really shitty dungeon synth, what is it doing in the grindcore tag. 0/18
2 - Sacraments of Evil by Svraoz
first thought: this is definitely a black metal band. turns out it's blackened thrash, which is the only thing worse than black metal. 0/47
3 - Meditations In Filth by CHILD
oh, this is actually a grindcore band. actually this kinda whips. 9/13
4 - DOG EAT DOG by SOCKET
i used to listen to a really shitty cybergrind band named socket so i thought this was them when i clicked on it. turned out to be pretty solid powerviolence. ill check the rest of the album out later. 4/6
5 - The Priceduifkes by The Priceduifkes
the album cover is giving minimal effort desert rock. the first track is entirely instrumental so im skipping to the second. this is shitty THPScore. 0/53
6 - Warmageddon by Slakter
i wonder how many bands have albums titled Warmageddon. i found 20 on discogs. its more blackened thrash from the same label as Svraoz. its better than Svraoz i guess. 1/47
7 - SUFFOCATING FEATS OF DEHUMANIZATION by SULFURIC CAUTERY
Sulfuric Cautery Nation AOTY material. 100/100
8 - Dirty Procedure by ASS FLAVOUR
if the band and album name werent enough to convince me, the fact that its on "Rotten Foetus records" almost guarantees that i am being subjected to porngrind in the year 2023. okay no sexual violence references in the song titles, i guess its just goregrind. the first track is titled Motherfuching Chainsaw and i cant tell if thats a typo. oh theyre a death metal band. this kinda rules. i dont know if its because my expectations were so low but i dig this. 19/22
9 - ON035 - 100 V 42 by The Owl
okay, this is from OWLRIPPER RECORDINGS which is making me laugh really hard. i like the owl motif. this is some kind of avant garde bullshit but i respect it. 10/10
10 - Homo Homini Lupus EP by Rat King Gone
do you ever find yourself listening to crossover and thinking "this is pretty awful, but i wish it sucked ten times as much"? this is for you. 0/86
