Hardcore selection .3

Some Chaotic hardcore.

MINUS - Jesus Christ Bobby - 2001
www.myspace.com/minus


Download

Formed in Island in 1998.
This is their second album.
Harsh and brutal Chaotic Hardcore.
They turned much more Rock n' Roll after this...
But this one is highly recommended!

"Three-way collision of Refused-like progressive hardcore, Slayer-aping rifftastic bombardment and art-house pretentiousness is, to say the least, one of the most innovative and important statements hardcore music has made in quite some time. From the guttural screams of opener "Chimera" to the acoustic guitar-driven bout of solace that is "Arctic Exhibition", it's obvious that this band has put every ounce of themselves into this round piece of plastic that now sits before you. Bone-crushing rhythmic patterns and thrashing-yet-sonorous guitar lines providing a solid foundation for the vociferous screamed/sung vocal histrionics of lead singer Krumm. Jesus Christ Bobby is proof that Minus are the chameleons of modern hardcore."

BURNT BY THE SUN - Soundtrack to the Personal Revolution - 2002
www.myspace.com/burntbythesun


Download

American band formed in 1999.
This is their first full-lenght.
My personal favourite.
Highly recommended.

"Burnt by the Sun developed its signature, frenzied-style into an incisive and efficient burst of sound punctuated by profound guitar precision, striking hooks, and a deft rhythm section. "Soundtrack to the Personal Revolution" was a detailed study in the forward motion of intelligent heavy music."

UPHILL BATTLE - Wreck of Nerves - 2004
www.myspace.com/uphillbattle


Download

American band formed in 1999 as Crawlspace.
They split-up in 2006 but seem to be back in 2010.
This is their second and last full-lenght.
Chaotic, Brutal, in your face.
A must-have!

"A menagerie of machine-gun-rattling Slayer-via Converge savageness... Stunning. If you are looking for challenging, technical, diverse hardcore music, here it is."

I only found this video from their first album (Self-Titled, 2002).

GRAF ORLOCK - DestinationTime Yesterday - 2006
www.myspace.com/graforlock


Download

American band formed in 2003.
They love to introduce their songs with movie samples.
They call it "Cinema grind".
This one is their first full-lenght.
Much recommended.

"Mix of traditional hardcore/thrash based grindcore with lots of modern spazzy elements thrown in that comes off as a chaotic sort of sensory abuse. The vocals alternate between a somewhat high-pitched hollar and a deeper, more aggressive roar while the rhythms stay consistently choppy and arrhythmic. A perfect soundtrack to breaking things."
