Fuck The Facts - Disgorge Mexico (2008)

Canada’s Fuck the Facts returns with their hyper-charged new full-length ‘Disgorge, Mexico’. More streamlined and direct than its predecessor ‘Stigmata Hi-Five’, ‘Disgorge, Mexico’ is an incendiary, hard-hitting grind affair. Far more than just grind bombast, Fuck the Facts has transformed into one of extreme metal’s best new bands.

The Great Redneck Hope - 'Splosions (2003)

Have you ever had a concussion? ...and you get all light-headed and fruity, but you know that something in the room just hit you really hard? That's the best way to describe "Splosion!" It's amazing, ironic tech-violence in the vein of the Locust and Dillinger Escape Plan. Treat yourself to a good time.

Jigsore Terror - World End Carnage (2004)

Jigsore Terror was formed in year 2001 by Tobbe "Six Feet" Ander (Scams, Smooth & Greedy, Leukemia) on guitar and Adde Mitroulis (Birdflesh, General Surgery, Sayyadina) on drums. Very soon bass player Hampus Klang (Birdflesh, Bullet, Hypnosia) and vocalist Tobbe Eng (Thunderdog) joined the band.
The reason to start this project was to play some kind of old school death metal in the vein of the early brutal bands like Repulsion, Death and Terrorizer.The band made several songs and played some shows. In October 2002 they decided to record their first demo in Soundlab Studios. Six songs were recorded and the demo was sent to some labels. A deal was signed in 2004 with Listenable Records in France. The first album was also recorded in Soundlab by Mieszko Talarczyk (Nasum, Genocide Superstars). Before the recording vocalist Tobbe Eng left the band due to lack of time. So Adde recorded the vocals on the album.

Hate - Morphosis (2008)

Hate hails from Poland. Their interesting blend of Death Metal with Black Metal breaks and cool melodies reminds of Behemoth shredding together with Vesania, while Vader are responsible so the whole thing doesn’t cross the Death Metal borders. Great overlooked/ignored death metal cd of 2008.

Cavity - Laid Insignificant Reissue 2008

"The variety of grimness on Laid Insignificant makes it a less caustic (or at least more enjoyably caustic) listen than the numbingly downtrodden early records by sludge brothers Eyehategod and Melvins. Cavity’s best songs build tension with creative use of feedback and discordant picking and tempo changes, and always hit payoff when those mammoth doom riffs land. And vocalist Rene Barge possesses a huge range of throat-shredding techniques in his arsenal, adding to the band’s dynamic attack. So while Laid Insignificant’s brevity qualifies it as an EP, it’s got the breadth of a full album. Cavity’s long gone, but the Laid Insignificant reissue does a nice job of filling the hole."

Doomriders - Black Thunder (2005)

Doomriders "Black Thunder", was recorded and engineered by Kurt Ballou (Converge) @ Godcity Studios. Recorded primarily in a live setting, "Black Thunder" is a collection of thirteen unbridled songs filled with spontaneity and vigor. From the infectious hook of the title track, to the soul wrenching track "Voice of Fire", "Black Thunder" is as eclectic of an album as they come. Paying homage to their collective musical heroes, while boldly serving as a monster of an introduction to the independent music community.

Grace Gale - Stronger Faster Science (2008)

The members of Grace Gale decided it was time to try something new. As a band, they have charted a course and set sail with one singular destination: a hardcore band with the partying sense of Motley Crue, and the wholesome likability of Ranger Rick. Whether it's doing lines of coffee in its powder form off blonde bombshells (or soccer moms depending on what time of day it is) or explaining the life cycle of the Northern Icelandic Tree Owls to 4th graders, Grace Gale will continue to rock until one of them is dumb enough to fall in love. But let's all hope we're too smart for that.

Drastic tempo shifts and time signature changes mixed in a nicely boiled broth of various styles of music. The boys strive on writing music that will be fun to them and for everyone else.
