Agoraphobic Nosebleed/Kill The Client – Agoraphobic Nosebleed/Kill The Client (7″ split, 2007)
SIDE A: AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED
ASSAULT RIFLE: This is my favourite ANb track ever!!! Annihilate fucking everyone!! Annihilate everything! The toms in the intro drumroll… All about this track rules fucking hard! 10/10.
MOCK EXECUTION: Again a quick and dirty ditty from Hull and Co. Not an outstanding song, but wild and crazy vocals keep it interesting.
ANTI-CHRISTIAN: Love this song forever! Double bass drums and groovy shit all over makes this a total winner. And with a song title that is emotional comfort food for a christianity hating pig as me, it doesn’t get any better….
SIDE B: KILL THE CLIENT
SPARTACUS: “Things will continue to get worse…” Massive and noisy and tight as my ass used to be! All is descriptive of KTC on this split. Spartacus is a great song. Love the vox and the blasts!
99% TURNOVER RATE: Another steady banger. The muffled mix/production rules. Groovy bridge too.
RETALIATE: Retaliate takes off where 99% Turnover Rate left, almost as a second part of the same song – dunno if it’s intentional, but op i røven med det. Det virker!!
Energumeno/Hades Mining Co. _ Freshly Dead (7″ split, 2017)
Energumeno/Hades Mining Co. – Freshly Dead (7″ 2017)
https://www.discogs.com/Energumeno-Hades-Mining-Co–Freshly-Dead-/release/10044038
Side A: Energumeno – Rememorando Mierdas Del Pasado.
Energumeno is a band where two of my oldest friends in the wonderful world of noise play, Javi and Manolo are the guys who run R.O.N.F. Records which was the first label to release Kusari Gama Kill many years ago. Still if they weren’t my friends, I’d love their side of the split. Tight noisy noisecore as I like it!
Side B: Hades Mining Co. – Mass Dysentery Insurgency / Anarchy In Your Anal Hole + Sting Like A Butterfly, Fly Like A Bee.
HMC plays a more sloppy noisecore than Energumeno, but not less enjoyable. Loads of references here (or so I think) to all sorts of music. Style wise we’re more in Seven Minutes of Nausea-country. Good fun!
All in all a great 7″ that’s worth buying.
Sedem Minút Strachu – General Fucking (2017)
This is a record you want, if you are at all into noisy stuff. Sedem Minút Strachu – or Seven Minutes of Fear – is the shit for me these days.
This 12″ will no doubt be a classic of the genre.

Final Exit – Another (S)hits Of Old Vinyls (cd 2014)
It’s all about Final Exit these days. I just got this cd in the mail today, 12 tracks of the Final Exit bits of various split releases. Very catchy and intense stuff here. Sound is brutal, and the playing too. And I mustn’t forget to mention the one minute long feedback that opens the cd. Goddammit I hate high notes, but here it has it’s place. Of the recordings here, I only knew the split with Gonkulator previously.
Super funny fast and noisy stuff here. Go get this baby! Yeah!

Final Exit – Middle Aged Stinking Cowboys 7″
Final Exit – Middle Aged Stinking Cowboys 7″
This is one of the best things that happened record wise last year. It’s just a 7″ record – single sided even, but crammed full of western themed noise and groovy country.
Final Exit are a great Japanese band, and after stumbling over this on my facebook stream, I have hunted down some other goodies from them. This record is released on The Child With No Name and Fat Ass Records. I can only urge you to visit both labels’ sites, as there are multiple goodies there!

Wadge – The End of Ethnology (cd 2016)
My relationship with Wadge goes back about 10-12 years, I was (and am) very much into drum-machine-driven grindcore, and as you might be aware, Wadge is exactly that.
At one point, I contacted Wadge via their MySpace, and was very excited to actually get an answer from Paul Wadge. We agreed to make a split between Wadge and my band Kusari Gama Kill, and Jay Randall of Agoraphobic Nosebleed fame agreed to release it on a new label he was planning, namely Grindcore Karaoke. The split was never made, but Paul and I kept in touch. He is a very nice man, and I still hope to shake hands with him one day.
Wadge has had a Tiki-theme going on for quite some time now, and it has been good fun, and great grind. But on this new album called The End of Ethnology, and is 100% Tiki-Free. As the liner notes go:
“This album is for those who value the ability to freely speak your mind over the modern worry of tiptoeing through the misguided muck of feelings. The anti-fascists have become the fascists. Modern day witch hunters trampling through life with stakes in their eyes. Redefining language and soothsaying thought. No one is immune from their delusional social arson, but only you can decide whether or not you burn. Stop, drop and roll, motherfuckers.
This album is for our comrades around the world. Oceans and miles separate us, but the affinity for this wretched filth keeps us close.”
Important words.
Musically this is Wadge in top-shape. The songs are lean and hungry snippets of grind. I love the production too, the best sounding Wadge record I know of.
I urge you to acquire this slap of plastic before it is sold out. Mortville has released it, and you can get it at the link below.
All there’s left to say, is: Take it sleazy, all the breast.

Blue Holocaust / Embryonic Cryptopathia – Blue Holocaust / Embryonic Cryptopathia (7″ split 2008)
I learned about this ep on facebook, where one of my contacts hyped it. I got it in the mail today, and I must say that this is a fine slab of wax. Gory noisy heavy grind very much in the vein of my tastes.
Go get this fucker!!
Lärm – Straight On View (LP 1986)
Fuck… Where do I even begin… I think I heard about Lärm back in 1987, and bought the lp by mail order from Rock Uglen that same year. Unfortunately the record had suffered in the mail and had cracked from the center to the edge, so I had to record it to cassette before it was totally destroyed. So for many years I lived with a cassette with a noticable crack every time the lp had revolved. I had the iconic cover pinned to my wall.
I think it was through Napalm Death interviews that I learned about Lärm. Their speedy hardcore was hyped by many a band at that time, and since I was heavily into fast bands like Wehrmacht and Cryptic Slaughter I was rather stoked to hear Lärm. And I wasn’t disappointed!
Their fast punk music has followed me throughout the years, first on that shitty cassette, then on the discographic cd Extreme Noise which unfortunately omitted the live tracks from side B of the Straight On View lp.
And now. Finally. 30 years after the release, and 29 years after I received my broken lp in the mail, I have gotten my hands on another copy.
My old band Sardonic Death wrote a song called Terror Lärm in homage to Lärm, and my current band Kusari Gama Kill has released an EP with the same title.

Dossier Negro, Picadillo Genital – The Pungent Stench Of Witchcraft / San Martin Humano!! (CD 2014)
I got hold of this cd via René from the Dossier Negro, he also plays drums in the mighty Dead Neanderthals, with whom my own band Kusari Gama Kill is labelmates on Grindcore Karaoke. Good straight forward gorish grind.
Sissy Spacek – Disfathom (LP)
Catchy dirty grindcore from Sissy Spacek, I know very little of this band, which serves to prove my ignorance of all things worth knowing. I know I like this record though, and that’s something I guess. Musically I’m reminded of Gridlink, but this is a bit darker and dirtier. The lp comes with a fat wad of xeroxed concert posters and postcards.
