The Crinn - Shadowbreather

Time for a little technical grindcore to break up the action.  I see The Crinn as Calculating Infinity-era Dillinger Escape Plan mixed with some Converge and put on fast-forward. The musicianship is pretty jaw-dropping, albeit occasionally at the sacrifice of solid hooks and compositions. But I think the point of this is mainly just to drag you to the floor and beat you to death with calculators in various time signatures. Fun stuff.

You there, sir.  Yes, you.  Seems you could sure use a sledgehammer to the face.  Just so happens I have one for you.  This is some incredibly heavy, borderline blackish hardcore akin to Nails and Converge.  Stand in front of this sandblaster knowing that the recording was mastered by none other than Proscriptor McGovern, fellow Texan and mastermind behind Absu.  Bandcamp esta aqui.
