My Call of Duty handle name is taken from this band - Agora Nosebleed. Y'all welcome to add me. After beating a squad in Battle Royale Alcatraz, one of the opponent quipped about my IGN(in-game name) on the chatbox.

Here's the conversation:

P3: Dude, where did you get your IGN?
Me: From metal band Agoraphobic Nosebleed...
P3: Woah! you fan of metal too?! Great! I listen to Megadeth, Slayer, Testament and all. Never heard of this band before. Is it good?
Me: It's a grindcore band from US.
P3: Cool! you got me in.


That's the least I expected of the Call of Duty chatbox.

***WARNING: REFRAIN FROM PLAYING THIS ALBUM ON SPEAKERS. IT MIGHT RATTLE THE PEACE OF NEIGHBORS AND MAY LEAD YOU TO GET ARRESTED. LISTENERS' DISCRETION UNADVISED, AS THIS REVIEWER WILL BASK IN THE GLORY OF SEEING YOU INCARCERATED.***

Agoraphobic Nosebleed, a leading purveyour of unrelenting, unstoppable grind, has trademarked a unique template: machine gun-style riffing, relentless beats, mechanical cannonball-fired songs melting your identity off your face with doses of offensive, derisive, humorous lyrics.

After releasing the flown-under-the-radar Honky Reduction in 1998, Agoraphobic Nosebleed took 4 years to punch out 38 tracks spanning 33 mins under the name Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope. It immediately took me off, with gargling vocals from "Bitch's Handbag Full Of Money" and "Unwashed Cock" washing me, before pulling listeners into the neckbreaker "Kill Theme For American Apeshit", sustaining momentum with guitars spewing razor-sharp grind riffs for 30 seconds, along with assault rifle-style mechanized drumming.

"Hungry Homeless Handjob" begins with pounding programmed drums, exuding a tone and velocity of no mercy, and providing a fascinating sound that transcends the parameters of grind. Another delightfully titled track, "Shit Slit", is a noize ball trailblazing with riffs and organically produced sounds. This album set a very unique and intense precedent in the grind scene when it was undergoing dynamic innovation back in the heyday.

If I delve even deeper, I think it will give you more clinical approach to Agoraphobic Nosebleed's brand of obscenity and chaos. The underlying complexity and ingenuity of many of their finest compositions become strikingly visible, and their death metal inclinations are unmistakable, evident in the dense drum flurries of "Ceremonial Gas Mask" and the Immolation-esque riffing adorned with mournful pinch harmonics in "Dead Battery". Similar trotting along is the track "Kill Theme For American Apeshit", where the guitar creates distortion giving fuzzy black metal tones, forging a disorienting and schizophrenic atmosphere.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed catapulted listeners into a trip to hell down under through a progressively more hideous hellscape, during which the vehicle reaches terminal velocity almost instantaneously before finally immolating itself and all of its flayed passengers in a thermonuclear explosion. This is precisely what these demented soundtracks of the Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope blare out of the speaker. This release stands out as a pinnacle within their catalog, serving as a modern epitome of grindcore.

Highlights: "Bovine Caligula", "Time Vs. Necessity", "Ambulance Burning", "Organ Donor"

This review is excellently written and an entertaining read. It's a terrific album from one of the best band's in the business of grindcore. The ferocity is relentless and there's no shortage of headbanging grooves, it's one of those albums that can be replayed time and time again.

QFT 100%

I've seen Agorapocalypse mostly represents AN as a best work, but spinning in from many years got to know in-depth about this monstrous release. Frozen Corpse is a real fucking art of AN.

Thanks for checking out, Andy.
