Sore Throat – Unhindered By Talent
Three Seconds Long!!! This is the lp that really defined the micro-song as a valid and beautiful genre for me. The amount of noisy drunken fun on display here is overwhelming.
“Out of tunes guitars, with broken strings, unintelligable growls, and smashed drum sticks. Unhindered by talent, but we don’t give a fuck, if you don’t fucking like it, then tough fucking luck.”
There is so much spite and venom in the lyrics, I remember being a crusty peacepunk being shocked at the anger towards D.R.I. and other bands. I just wanted everybody to be happy…
The Molecatcher and A Bow To Capital makes for well deserved breathers in all the great feedbacky racket. Both unusual but great. I still need to know more about Pete Pax.

Doom – Corrupt Fucking System
I’m happy to say that this is one fine Doom lp. Raw and vital with a filthy production. The lyrics are to the point and intense pieces of political poetry.

The Endless Blockade/Wadge – Split 7″ 2010
This is a record I have wanted to get for a considerable amount of time. Being a big fan of both bands, I nearly soiled myself when I learned that they had made a slit 7″.
The Endless Blockade gives us a groovy set of songs, including the S.O.B. inspired “traditional” The Endless Blockade”. Good semi-experimental stuff.
Wadge is as you might know merchants of the rare Tiki-Grind. And here are three great songs of said kind. I love Wadge heap much, and am not disappointed.
My copy is a wonderful piss-yellow. Gurgle!
Go go Tiki! Grindcore Pa’ina!!

Cloud Rat – Moksha lp 2013
Cloud Rat – Moksha LP 2013
http://www.discogs.com/Cloud-Rat-Moksha/master/575014
Cloud Rat is one of my favorite alt-grind bands. The combination of thinking outside the standard grindcore formula, while retaining ferocity and anger pleases me a lot.
This lp was released last year, and I consider it to be the strongest work of Cloud Rat yet. The comparison to Fuck The Facts is tempting, but I consider Cloud Rat to be superior to FTF. Mainly due to the punkier vibe to Cloud Rat (I’m not very fond of getting too much metal in my grindcore…).
This lp here is a delightful package, a beautiful cover, and overall a nice record to look at and touch. Listeningwise it rules all the way through. The Neil Young cover song (Needle and the Damage Done) kick my viking arse to Valhalla and back.
Get it!

Helmet – Meantime
Wow, it’s 21 years ago this monster of an lp surfaced. I saw the video for Unsung, and was blown to bits by its crushing heavyness and catchy riff.
I lived in a basement at the time, with my girlfriend Lisa, we were unemployed and out of cash, there was far between the record store visits. But I knew I had to get this one.
The release of Betty was yet another good experience music wise, and I guess I actually like Betty better than Meantime. But as I listen to it now, I’m reminded of the long borng pre-internet days in the basement with Lisa, where much of the entertainment came from visits from my buddy Heine, and our getting drunk in cheap beer and on one occasion cough syrup…
Later on I developed a profound hatred to Helmet, as I saw them as one of the reasons for the development of Nü-Metal (may it burn in Hell). And for many moons my Helmet records lay untouched.
But now I’m at peace with Mr. Hamilton et al. And it is good to have a spin of the old Interscope wax from 21 years ago.
Various – Violent Noise Party: International Blast Fighter Compilation
Various – Violent Noise Party: International Blast Fighter Compilation 7″
This is an absolute must have for the picky punk and grindfreak. Insect Warfare, Netjajev SS, In Disgust and plenty of other good, fast and heavy bands all in the space of a 7″ record.
Insect Warfare treat us with a brutal cover of the classic Celtic Frost Into the Crypts of Rays, and Rainbow of Death gives us one of the more bizarre sampled intros.
I have nothing but praise for this compilation, who needs 80 minutes, when 15 will do?
Sore Throat – Disgrace To The Corpse Of Sid
This lp is another lifechanger for me. Basically I have tried to mimic side A in most of the music I have made since 1989…
For fuck’s sake, look at the tracklist:
This still sounds way more extreme, than most of the so called extreme music to follow it.
Side B is very good too.
It was released as MOSH10 on Earache.

Lack Of Interest/Weekend Nachos – Split 7″
This split is a must-have. Great work from both Lack Of Interest and Weekend Nachos!
Napalm Death/S.O.B. – Split 7″ Flexi
I love this 7″. This is my third copy. I wore the two first out back then… Now they cost around € 20. Then about £ 1,5.

War Of Destruction – A Touch Of Scandinavia
I love War Of Destruction. You should too. They are Denmark’s best kept secret. Angry hardcore.
