Grindcore by the book: compact & relentless at maximum speed. The version delivered by Afgrund never evolves nor deviates from the formula, pick any release and get your skull bashed with a sound Rotten Sound sound. The death metal input is almost non-existent, this is superspeed sledgehammer punk destruction featuring all the canards of dumb high school lyrics and 90 seconds three-riff serial bombs. The funny part is the fact that there are now two bands using the name, but you can't tell them apart without a microscope (hint: the 2018 release). All in all sonically exciting and generally efficient to numb your mind in difficult times, and of course to make your neighbors happier than ever when played at 11. Triplazering grinding mania with no pause!

Annihilation Vortex

Annihilation Vortex - Nihilistic Spheres - 2019
01. Annihilation Vortex - Nihilistic Spheres, 2019 CD Album Limited Edition
     Putrid Cult - PUTRID 155
The Church was lured towards the black light emitted by this black source because its members also enlarge aural orifices through expert black metallizers Martwa Aura and Gone. The Polish scene rules absolutely when it comes to blackness. Interestingly, Annihilation Vortex deliver the total death metal thing. A couple of black metal riffs sure permeate here and there, but this is mostly evil 90s classic death in the vein of early Vital Remains with bricks of Incantation on rails of Aura Noir. When the doctor orders straight forward, in your face death thrashing that does not lose control nor gets lost in the meanders of technical complexities, these Nihilistic Spheres are the treatment of choice. Unpolished and uncompromising, this short album pumps up the euphoria of the true zerist who loves the repeated skull crushing and all the thick and addictive juices it releases. Triplazering evil thrashing death!

Speed metal rules forever, especially when it leans on the thrash side. This is what happens when influences from Agent Steel, Realm, Whiplash, Exciter, Riot and  Blessed Death coalesce through the common moves of musicians oozing as much talent as energy. This spotless discography from Slovenia is a sure gift to the 80s thrashosaurus who loves his thrashing speed melodic yet not gay-ass-radio, technical yet not showing off and powerful without sacrificing the amazing solos. Just amazing. The favorite Church album is Cloaks, and the least favorite-yet-still-great is the newest release Tellurian whose Megadeth orientation and sound is only 95% as effective as the previous bombs. But that's just the Church, pick your own king and bang that head until its triplazering combustion!

Requested, zerred. Need to clear your mind? Gess is here to help, they will erase everything from ear to ear and make you bleed from the same orifices thanks to their very noisy punk abrasion that makes Confuse, Disorder and Exclaim sound like Nofx. The noise produced by Gess is not really fast nor particularly catchy (in the way Rapt and Lärm were), original or extreme, it is just guitar distortion to the point of kitchen blender. Which makes it a valuable addition to your flacotheque, just in case some guests did not leave the house quick enough. Rawer than your forest black metal!

     B.T.H. - BTH-075
Who's in for four hours and eighteen minutes of first grade Japanese hardcore punk thrash, a bit of death metal and some punk rock, stoner rock and other distortion? The true Church visitor, that's who. Usually mildly excited by compilations in their regular format (one band, one song), the Church can only submit to this monster comp that offers an EP's length worth of each band. For example, you'll find here a batch of unreleased killer Rose Rose songs. The quality ratio is very high: two, maybe three bands deliver average material. Just skip them and get your head blown off by the other three hours and a half of classic Japanese metal punk mania. 
Anyone with FLAC links to Vol. 1 of this series is very welcome to share.
For more compilations, drown here.
And since we're drooling over Japanese thrashgasm, let us indulge even more with the newest Rose Rose fragmentation bomb. Rose Rose never age or slow down, this new release defenestrates the crossoverizing thrashonaut with as much velocity and power as with their previous albums, maybe even more.
For more Rose Rose, smile here and here.
Triplazering bang that head and smash that skull through the zerification of the japgasm!!

NRAR: a Dead Head refresh is in order to loudly start the 15th season of the Church. This visceral thrash attack that fortifies the heaviest of Exodus to the extremes of Sadus, Inquisitor, Wehrmacht and pre-1987 Kreator propels the true thrashonaut through the black tunnel of final ecstasy. The new album Slave Driver is another deadly missile in their arsenal, no serious thrashotheque is complete without it. Dead Head deserve much more worship and front page exposure than what they have been receiving for the past 30 years. The Church worships Dead Head as much as Sodom, not a light statement. Amen. Thrash 'til terminal bliss! Fast, sharp and ripping 'til triplazering explosions of the wicked!
