Guttermouth - Gorgeous (1999)

Gorgeous is the sixth album by the Huntington Beach, California punk rock band Guttermouth, released in 1999 by Nitro Records. It was the band's most aggressive album to date, due in part to a lineup change: bass player Steve Rapp had left the group and drummer James Nunn had taken over his position, making room for new drummer Ty Smith (credited here as T. Bradford). It would also be the band's last album for Nitro, as they moved to Epitaph Records the following year.

Guttermouth - Shave The Planet (2006)

The word "punk" is thrown around a lot these days and unfortunately, it's been misrepresented in every way, shape, and form. Then there's California's Guttermouth, the true definition of punk rock: loud, fast, and truly offensive. This is their tenth album. Their infamous tongue-in-cheek humor and hyper songs remain poignant to the times today; lambasting the politicians, the scenesters, and even their own audience.

Described by Hardboiled zine as "an otherworldly experience of dark, cold, grimy and almost dehumanized hardcore," the sound of Hierophant is a mix between crust/punk and sludgy metallic hardcore with a dark/oppressive/ apocalyptic mood. Great Mother: Holy Monster is the bands Bridge 9 debut with 8 tracks of a crushing aural assault.

Nails - Abandon All Life (2013)

NAILS is beyond brutality. These grindcore tyrants of the American underground have triumphantly returned with their 2nd full length "ABANDON ALL LIFE"!  These 10 tracks of barbaric rage have no resemblance to the laughable retro party metal that passes as extreme music in today’s world. Abandon All Life viciously carpet bombs the listener with a horrifying brand of Death/ Grind/ Hardcore chaos. Bludgeoning beatdowns, grinding blasts, hyper-distorted vocals, hard-hitting metallic chugs and early death metal riffs intensifies to a climatic end where the guitars wail and militant drum breakdowns send us marching. With profound hatred, the howling war cry of ABANDON ALL LIFE shows NAILS as a band without equal in their class.

Code Orange Kids - Love Is Love // Return To Dust (2012)

 Love Is Love // Return To Dust is Code Orange Kids' debut album, recorded at God City Studios by Kurt Ballou (Converge). From the first organic stick clicks of opener Flowermouth (The Leech) musical chaos explodes in every direction imaginable. As their tangle of guitars and angular percussion violently lurches about, it's apparent that Code Orange Kids are not concerned with following the predetermined path of any existing sub-genre. The band's dirges effortlessly become staccato bursts in Liars // Trudge and Nothing (The Rat), two songs with so many hairpin turns they are difficult to put into words. While adversely, songs like Colore (Into Nothing) and Calm // Breathe unfurl as beautifully layered musical expanses.

As impressive as these dynamics are, it is Code Orange Kids' untamed heaviness and emotion in the title reference songs Choices (Love Is Love) and Bloom (Return To Dust) that will leave you floored. These two mostrous beasts smear the divisions between art-rock, punk, doom, and noise in a way never heard before. Without a doubt, Love Is Love // Return To Dust is truly impressive, as much a work of art as it is an album. A shining example of the bright future that awaits the world of aggressive music.

The Secret - Agnus Dei (2012)

The Secret are one of the heaviest and most extreme bands to ever crawl their way out of Italy. Born and shaped in 2003, The Secret come to life as an output for rage, darkness and negativity. The band comines elements of crust/grind, primitive black metal, dark soundscapes and monolithic riffs to take the listener by the hand through a hallucinated trip towards a foggy and yet invisible tomorrow.
