Fuck yes. I really really enjoyed this, I don't get why some are hating it. The riffs are really fun, the bass blends in pretty well, the vocals are pretty good. The biggest problem I had with this album is the production on the drums, they just sound really bad.

It's mostly just that it isn't grind or experimental enough, I can see why somebody would dislike it.
I can also see why somebody would love it, I know I did.

Yeah, I agree. I was actually at the release show for this album in NYC a few weeks ago with Despise You, Full Of Hell, and SECT, really intense show.
Btw, are you a big fan of grindcore in general? My favorite genre is sludge and post metal tied, but grindcore is my second favorite and there is a huge scene for it with tons of bands but it seems there are barely any grind fans on here.

I'm more of a fan of mathcore or powerviolence or sludge. I love some grind, but most of the time I just associate it with brutal death or goregrind or slam which are all shit.

Oh, I fucking love ANb. I really enjoy their early, more noisey really grindy stuff like Altered States Of America, although I even love Agorapocalypse, not as much as I used to, but now I realize that that album is pretty much thrashy hardcore and not grind in all honesty. They play stuff from all their albums and EPs and splits live apparently, covering a variety sounds which must be pretty great.

I can see why one would do that, but I feel like pure grindcore is way better in terms of both originality and music in general than brutal death/goregrind/slam.
Mathcore, powerviolence, sludge, as well as post-metal, industrial, grind and even death are all connected musically in some ways, which is really cool imo. Relapse Records is a great fucking label for all these things as well as some brutal death, and even some shoegaze now.
Anyway on-topic: I think that even though Head Cage isn't a very original sound in general, it is a whole new sound for PD, and I think they pulled it off really well. Plus, maybe it'd be a good entry point for grindcore for those who don't know it too well because it's more accessible and has a metalcore edge to it.

It's metalcore.
It has a grind edge.

Yeah, probably because the songs aren't as aggressive or short honestly. Missing quite a few grind elements. Although I really like metalcore, so PD metalcore is really enjoyable for me.

I haven't seen a lot of grind fans either. I mean people who actually listen to grind, not just pretend to.

Yes. Thank you for your revealing and enlightening comment that really was relative to Radu's wonderful review of an album you will probably never even have any interest in

Maybe it's you, but you missing a huge chunk of fans of Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Insect Warfare, Wormrot, Full Of Hell, Nasum, Magrudergrind, Napalm Death, Brutal Truth, Cephalic Carnage and more. These are right top of my head.

Grind core, well I agree, about what you said, to me its like if you're teenager and wanna be something different, dont want have long hair and letter jackets( writing from 90's perspective) but you like agresivity, you might like this genre and later you're 25 and are part of footy hooly gang. Otherwise I dunno why people like this genre. I tried listen in eraly 20's and I didnt get it and wont listen it now. This band I tried half song , hated it and I wont listen it again, I better listen neo folk, post or some pop.

No one really said that they endorse killing cops. The story goes that some of the guys who founded the band were in line for a roller coaster and they were trying to think of the most hardcore punk name for a band ever, and they came up with Cop Killer and Cop Destroyer, and they changed cop to pig and they choose that for fun.
When JR was asked about the band name, he just said he never really liked the cops of america basically and that was another part of why they chose the name. The song Army Of Cops is clearly about recent police brutality in america, but in no ways are they trying to tell fans to kill or hurt policemen nor would they do anything like that themselves.

People are hating on this? Why? I let go all that genre absolutism and elitism, I can listen to Full of Hell and Nails or Ghost and Haken and love it. These days I think that's an attitude more metalheads should have....

I listen to pop, hip hop and post-punk, as well as noise, black metal and grind. I still found this record to be somewhat mediocre. Nothing to do with elitism or absolutism. I wouldn't call a 7.5 average indicative of hate either.

Haha indeed. I'm kind of at fault on that though but it's mostly because I decided to only rate what I own. And if I don't like it at least a little bit... It's not in my collection anymore haha.

Well that's sensible really. Don't want a bunch of terrible 6/10 records cluttering your shiny collection
