While we were on vacation in London, a fine gentleman named Ben let us shack up in his apartment. Ben played his current band for me, London hardcore act SANTA KARLA and I was (not-so) surprised to hear they rule. It's always cool when a friend plays you his band's song and they don't suck. You don't have to go through that awkward "Uhh yea, that sounds great" schtick. Hardcore is a bit misleading, as there are hints of black metal and other metal sprinkles in there. The guitars are thick, the vocals are aggressive and the drums keep on crashing. Ben was kind enough to give us a free MP3 off their recently released demo, which you can download/stream below. If you dig the band, make sure to add them on MySpace as the band is currently working on their first full-length. So expect more rad music from them soon. You've been warned.

Got it? Y'all should know the score by now. I'm Grim Kim, I probably hate your favorite band, and I'm going to spend the next couple paragraphs telling you exactly why you NEED to be listening to whatever band I've decided to write about this time. Got it? Good. I just got back from Obscene Extreme Fest in the Czech Republic, and my need for speed is still in hyperdrive. No time for sludge this week. Less talk, more grind! Meet Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation, an originally all-girl (they've recently added a male guitarist) grindcore quartet based outta Tokyo, Japan. These chicks make Angela Gossow look like your sweet Auntie Mabel, and shit all over the idea that "girls can't play metal." While it's true that most of the pretty, perfectly-made up faces you see splashed across the covers of this-and-that magazine and simpering out at you from whatever "metal" countdown show Fuse's decided to do this week can't scream a lick, and invariably front commercial-type bands that can only be described as "godawful," there's always the odd group of women out there tearing shit up and holding their own in the testosterone-fueled world of extreme metal. I'm not much of a feminist, but I do hate seeing the sort of role models younger chicks are exposed to. How is my little sister ever going to get into good tunes if the most "extreme" band she can relate to is Lacuna Coil or fucking In This Moment - bands that say, "It's okay for girls to like metal, but only if it's melodic and inoffensive and accessible; leave the heavy stuff to the boys, dear, and make sure those pants make your ass look good"? FUCK. THAT. The ladies of Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation (who will henceforth be referred to as "F.I.D." because their full name is impossible to type properly on the first try) are easy on the eyes, but focusing on that will leave you stranded about as far from the point as you can get. The point, my friends, is total fucking destruction. F.I.D. play fast, filthy, furious grindcore in the vein of Insect Warfare, Phobia, and Captain Cleanoff that verges on powerviolence in its pure disregard for the listener's eardrums and flirts with the occasional Corrupted groove. At times echoing her better-known warsisters in Gallhammer, Makiko's vocals veer between high-pitched, frenzied shrieks and a knuckle-dragging death grunt that would do their countrymen in Coffins proud, while ostage, the band as a whole positively vibrate with kinetic energy (if you were lucky enough to catch 'em at Maryland Death Fest 2007, you're sure to remember their jaw-dropping performance). Two demos and a split 7" with Insect Warfare later, F.I.D. have finally scraped together a full LP's worth of primal crusty goodness; the self-titled record is available from Bizarre Leprous Productions, and is WELL worth the cash. Oh, and as far as the name goes? They don't know what it means, either. Play fast or die.

God bless the inventor of the "Shuffle" button on music players. Late last week, I was having the shittiest day, and had my music on random and Deadwater Drowning's "Bliss From a Dead Embrace" came on and I was reminded of how much this band kicked fucking ass. Bread out of the early 2000's Massachusetts metalcore scene, these guys basically the blueprint for every current deathcore band out today. The only release the band has is a 2004 self-titled EP, and it is 21 minutes of sheer relentlessness. Some familiar names fills the ranks: the infamous Nate Johnson handling vocal duties (who went onto play with THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD and PREMONITIONS OF WAR) and on guitar Johnny Fay (of THE RED CHORD fame) and Seth Coleman (who then joined THE ACACIA STRAIN). Sometimes it's the bands that only release one blip of music that get the most notoriety because they never had a chance to fuck it up. This is definitely one of those bands. If you enjoy heavy music, I urge you to pick up their self titled EP.

If ever there was a prototype for the perfect 80s thrash band, I think these guys fit that description to a t. Speedy guitars? Check. Misogynistic and psuedo-racist lyrics? Oh hell yea. Pig heads and raw meat flying around on stage? Check! If you haven't been exposed to this awesome band, definitely pick up their two CDs (Self-Titled and Retaliation). Your neck will never be the same! For now, check out one of my favorite tracks from the band, Angry Neurotic Catholics off of their Retaliation album, which much like last week's Wake Up Call, starts with a bellowing scream...

Who else is pumped? I thought to start us off this Monday (or if you really think about it...its kinda like today is Wednesday) we should start with a bang, that bang being Montreal noise-metal experts, ION DISSONANCE.

Their 2003 release Breathing Is Irrelevant is quite possibly one of my favorite releases of this decade. It just doesn't let up. You could be walking your dog, or standing on a crowded train, and this album will just instinctively make you want to mosh. And, I don't even like moshing! Check out my favorite track from the record, "The Death of One Man is a Tragedy, The Death Of 10,000 Is A Statistic"...which is also a deep title, if you think about it.

It's Monday morning, the weather is changing and I'm feeling sick. But luckily, we have a free download of the new song by THE FACELESS for you to wake you up, cause it's certainly keeping me awake right now. The new album is quite amazing (we got an advanced listen), comes out in 3 weeks (11/11) and you should probably get it. For now, check out the new track below, and if you haven't checked out our live video of (in my opinion) the best song on the album, Xenochrist, something is wrong with you!

The beauty of leaving your iPod on shuffle sometimes is that a band you really haven't listened to for a while comes on and then you go "Fuck man, I haven't listened to this in a while, this is awesome." I found myself is such a situation a few weeks ago, when the song "The Right To Arm Bears" off of ELECTRO QUARTERSTAFF's amazing LP Gretsky popped in the rotation, and I have not been able to take the album out of my rotation for a while. If you aren't familiar with ELECTRO QUATERSTAFF they are a five-piece all instrumental band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Yes, 5 members, no vocalist...which means, they have an extra shredder in the band to blow your fucking mind. Check out the MP3 of The Right to Arm Bears below, and I promise it will wake you up from your Monday morning haze. Then, head over to their Myspace page and listen to more shred-tastic goodness!
