Time to speed things up a bit. Fast, technical insanity here to leave you bruised and possibly pregnant. You can catch it HERE at bandcamp when it drops June 1st. Two tracks are available for preview. I am interested to see how the whole thing turns out. For now, I'll let the music do the talking. You can also check out their previous release HERE.
Celebrating an underrated classic today. This album is a 10 in every sense. It's innovative, it's an amazing piece of musicianship, and most importantly; it's a blast. I recommend you listen to the full playlist on youtube rather than simply listening to a track, but two of my favorites are below if you feel so inclined. Delightful fusion of so many styles that wouldn't seem to work, but do. Yes, it's a foundation of mathcore, but it transcends into a fairly progressive, and wholly impressive, amalgamation. Sadly, this was the group's swan song. I had the pleasure of seeing them twice touring with this album, once with Dillinger Escape Plan. They were just as good, if not better live.
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.
