Treasure hunt of the 90s! We were floored and defenestrated by Only Living Witness at a gig they opened for Cro-Mags in 1993. Upset Noise played that evening too. Night of large scale rejoicing! I hope alzheimer does not eat these memories. Only Living Witness make the cream of that sort of very heavy and very catchy and very headbanging and a little dark hard rocking hardcore that crosses the trajectories of Leeway, early Tool, Hüsker Dü, Scream and Goatsnake, late Cro-Mags, early Clutch and other specialists in the riff that hooks. I can even hear some Celtic Frost crawling underneath. And when air travels through the pipes of their amazing singer, everything becomes even clearer: majestizer! Absolute first class. Prone Mortal Form is a mandatory experience. Sweet power and magnificence!
Milligram is another band with the same singer, but he's a little rawer and less impressive there. However Milligram's output is still an amazing combination of abrasive rock with the stoner touch and punk of Black Flag ascendance and other great groovy noises. Solid distortion for the solid punch!

  1. Top Posting! Have you ever heard Rawradarwar? A rather abrasive, sludgy hardcore band fronted by the same singer as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SRGlGlx_eo. He also sings on one Converge track, Grim Heart, Black Rose, that is pure majestic annihilating bliss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3CEVh3DdH4.
