Never go full grind-retard...I'd posted Blood's 5th demo in Selfish Few's first month of life, and insisted that I'd never heard the preceding recordings...only to find the lot of them nonchalantly sitting in my archives (I gotta digi-dust more often!). Anyway, more middle school metal than grinding death, and the rips aren't nearly as bad as the placement of the boomboxes that initially captured the...the, uh..."music".
Formerly hoarded lone release from this truly obscure noise-punk group (from Japan of course). They remind me of later Screaming Noise quite a bit, even sharing similar (though not as thin) production touches as that band's 2nd EP. Disposer is still wannabe Swankys-core, but smartly arranged for the style without any of the show-offy "look at how cooooool we are" easter eggs. Handsome schtuff that I'd enjoy far less pyrrhically if fucking tossers didn't treat it all like nuclear launch codes...
"Kō Machida (born 1962) is a Japanese author, punk rock singer, poet and actor. Machida formed a punk rock band called 'Inu' (dog) in 1978, for which he used the stage name 'Machida Machizō'. Inu released their first album, 'Meshi Kuuna!' in 1981. The band split shortly after the album was released. He went on to form a number of other bands, and though these subsequent projects earned reasonable critical acclaim, commercial success was limited."
"Along with Sacrifice, Voivod and Razor, Annihilator is credited as one of the 'Big 4' of Canadian thrash metal. Formed in Ottawa by Jeff Waters and John Bates in 1984, they named the band after the tank that Eddie Murphy's character rode on in the 1984 film 'Best Defense'. Waters and Bates then recruited drummer Paul Malek and bassist Dave Scott. This lineup lasted a year, producing a demo titled "Welcome To Your Death" during their time together. The demo received worldwide recognition and became highly sought after.
"All tracks written, produced & mastered by Thomas Ponder (DJ Cachexic a.k.a. Goth Von Core). Tracks 1 and 2 are mega-experimental Industrial-Hardcore, track 3 is hard IDM made with kicks alone, and track 4 is Ambient/IDM. Track 2 was made as a 'diss-track', the lyrics were copied and pasted directly from a message sent to a friend of the producer. The sender's name will not be mentioned as Cachexic considers himself a nice guy. ^-^ " --Zeta 1 Records
