23:20 - Lit. Ihsahn doesn't do much better. Drumming really sucks, too. Painfully meh song.
23:08 - .starrk @Unhealer: except for the fact that Serj completely ruined the song >_> Ihsahn's voice fits perfectly, then you have Serj's abomination hastily thrown in

Can we please consider this a brand new release? Sure, its real release date was somewhere back in 2011, but there's something kind of defeating about discovering a top-notch album like Draw Back A Stump on its remastered/remix re-release.
Primate is probably the most apt name this band could have found - it's just so simple, unpretentious and bludgeoning, it's almost hard to believe a band this straightforward manages to still sound pretty fresh. It's basically old school hardcore revamped for a modern age. Draw Back A Stump is classic hardcore that frequently steps into grind territory, delivered through sludgy tones. Then there's this certain southern-fried undertone to the whole thing, as well...Maybe that just comes along with any sludgified music. It's almost tempting to say there is a few leads that feel like nods to greasy southern rock, but everything is blasted forth in such a rattling, grimy blur, it's hard to pick out the subtleties.
So let's forget the subtleties, because there ain't many. Simply put, Draw Back A Stump is a face value type of album. As in, picking valuable face fragments off the wall behind you after listening to this.
All shitty puns aside, Primate rule, that's all there really is to it. If you like solidly obnoxious music, maybe somewhere in the same region as Hank III's Assjack, there should be no reason to glance past this. Trying to go into any deeper detail about music like this is completely asinine.
The only track I heard was the one they made a lyric video for (don't even remember which song it was for). Though after reading your review and noticing the track entitled "Get The Fuck Off My Lawn", I'm definetly going to check the rest of it out.
I heard one song off of this that was damn good, but no other ones were uploaded . Surprised you didn't make a mention of their lineup-Members of Mastodon and Brutal Truth involved here.
Me too. Again. Global Division, Hellbound and Get The Fuck Off My Lawn are all great songs.
sadly not on spotify. at least i'm headed in to town tomorrow, will check the CD shop.
"Get The Fuck Off My Lawn" sounds like it could be my theme song... if they replaced "Lawn" with "Rocks" or "Yard".
Not sure if you've listened to this yet, but it does seem like something that would be right up your alley:
-Sludginess + a well balanced mix of grind and old school hardcore.
. Surprised you didn't make a mention of their lineup-Members of Mastodon and Brutal Truth involved here.
