Just listened to Beaten to Death cause I forgot about it and that one is actually pretty good as well

likewise

I hope Knoll get it this year

Racetraitor got added when their new album got nominated in grindcore (blame me, I liked it and grindcore's often hard to find good nominees for) - haven't heard their earlier stuff to have an opinion on it

I never even heard of them until I found their split with Closet Witch and Neckbeard Deathcamp. Needless to say they were the weakest of the three.

I always thought racetraitor was mediocre considering there rep

Their debut gets a lot of love in the hardcore circle, but I find the song writing lacking. Their live shows looked crazy back then though.
