Fenriz picked these guys as band of the week a while back. I should have listened earlier. We all should have listened.

It's a lot like what I imagine "fighting" a UFC featherweight would be like. You'll get hit about 20 times before your mind can register the fact that you're being hit at all.

Doesn't take no Mensa shit to figure this one out: You like riffs? You'll like this.

A compilation of blackened Motörhead-worship from an Ohioan outfit that completely destroys.
Click here for the tunes.

I don't know German, but I'm pretty sure "freiheit macht frei" means "fuck you and your ears." This is death-infused, loud-n-noisy grind done all chunky-like and right.

Swedish death that's to-the-point, Entombedish, and stripped down, yet isn't overly simplistic and heard-it-before. It's unique stuff that isn't up its ass with the fact that it's unique.

New and true Norwegian black metal. Got more evil sounding tunes to spare than most LPs manage to pack in to begin with.
Click here to listen (to "Ild" in particular).

This is nothing but brass tacks, to the point, down your pint, grab-your-pool-stick-and-start-smacking-people-with-it straight-forward DM.

A fast, dirty, scuzzy, dirty, tooth-shattering fist to the face.

It's like Asma Assad's bathing suit area: raw, evil-sounding, and barbarous. We are talking about thrash though, so I mean that in the best way possible.

This thing is as vicious as its song titles are hackneyed and pretentious-sounding.

Hit and miss black/thrash in the end, but when it's flat you'll still be stomping around, and when it's good it's more good than a global peace summit led by Martin Luther King, Jesus, and Salma Hayek's boobs would be. Definitely worth checking out.

This remains catchy despite how remorselessly, horse-beatingly savage it gets. Great album here.
