Well, what I've heard is that this band has been around since 1992 with at least 30 line-up changes; to tell you the truth this is the first time I ever hear this name, this fact annoys me as 7000 Dying Rats is a band that surely will drill your forehead with each musical punch in their record.

The band plays (what they call) "Comedy-Grind"; the music is really interesting actually, very similar to what people like Scott Hull would play (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic nosebleed etc.) the "Comedy" bit comes with the lyrics and the song-titles?what sucks is that they didn't add the lyrical content in the booklet, so it's more about titles than anything. Musically they are really freaking intense, fast and powerful as a machine-gun and brutally cohered as anything you've heard before.

The samples might turn some people off though; those "funny" lines cover almost half of the record and music comes randomly in between?but hell truly unleashes when their music comes, the wait becomes worthwhile in every possible way believe me, when the riffs and beats come, it's time to break your neck with the Punk the Grind and the hostility of the crude, yet powerful, music.

This is a very simple album, but the Grinders out there will find in "Season In Hell" a very innovative and interesting piece; it's maybe not the best Grindcore record I've reviewed ever, but I'll surely toss this in my stereo regularly, if not to digest the entire thing at least to hear that Black Sabbath cover which really gives me the creeps, after all, how can I dislike a band who hates Metalcore bands and calls them "Cocksuckers" as I do?

Best Tracks: "We Had Dying In Our Name Way Before All Those Metalcore Cocksuckers Came Along", "Paranoid"

Heard of this band before. (I think they play on LA Murderfest too.) As you nicely said in your nice review, they're not extremely good, but indeed still good enough to give them a listen from time to time.

Think I will check this album out.

There are 4 songs online at their MySpace, http://www.myspace.com/7000dyingrats. One of them is that freaky Paranoid cover. And the two videos are pretty hilarious.

BTW: LOL at We Had "Dying" In Our Name Way Before All Those Metalcore Cocksuckers Came Along. Best song title ever!

I checked these guys out and they are pretty cool. Some of the audio clips are awesome, but like Herz said, they are long.

The Black Sabbath cover is just weird...
