I don't think that Assück has any three-minute song. Hell, I don't think they even have a two-minute song!

Early Exhumed might be a good choice, I concur. Also try the latest Napalm Death.

Haemorrhage, Exhumed, Dead Infection, and General Surgery all sing about gore.

Yep, figured a compromise would have to happen somewhere. There's plenty of short grind songs about other shit than gore but once you enter the realm of death/grind for song length the lyrical subject matter isn't of a wide variety.

Also, Ricin, you listed Misery Index so I assume you're familiar with Dying Fetus... but if not then definitely check out "Killing on Adrenaline" Longer songs and more straight forward and focus on blasting than their later material.

Hummingbird of Death is like a grindy Crass XD fuck yeah!!
Not too big on raw grind so I didn't enjoy NS and SS as much

A grindy Crass? First I've heard that comparison...

you don't hear it at all? hm.. maybe I'm on crack or something
not sure what about em reminds me of crass but they do haha

Then again, I'm not a huge Crass fan, so there's that.

I was quite a big Nasum fan until I saw them live a couple weeks ago. I mean they do have quite a selection of killer songs, but all they played was boring, "Inhale-Exhale" was the only exception. The best riff they played was actually during their music check, but if you play the "world eater" riff, no matter what band you are, you´re not going to top it, haha.

Wormrot was so much better, they are great live, better then on record.

Random babbling over.

Well you can't judge current Nasum as the one who wrote all the material recorded since the main songwriter has long since been dead.

For fans of bass guitars and grind. Best band in Buffalo, NY right now. So loud live.

Also Nasum isn't grindcore.

Honestly who cares if they are. I enjoy the fuck out of them. I heard water torture... it's alright. I prefer Suffering Bastard for the exact same style and I think the same city.

all I can find is old ass live videos... maybe they aren't around anymore

This has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Yeah, I dunno if I'd go as far to say that they aren't a grind band...regardless of my opinion of their music.

To me they are or have a decent amount that I would consider grind, but I honestly don't care enough one way or another to defend or detract from any band that wants to claim a label... unless it's vastly incorrect. Like when people say Daughters is grindcore or something like that....I like Daughters... but fuck no they aren't grindcore.

I don't understand how someone can listen to Grind Finale and not think it's grindcore.

Shit, same here bro.

Yeah, one of the missions of this dude on MA is always stating that Nasum isn't grindcore whenever he can.

haha it's not even an opinion if they're grindcore or not, it's a fact that they are.

Thoughts on the Cellgraft LP?

Whoaaa, didn't even know they had an LP out. Gotta look into this!

It's a grower, for sure. So listen repeatedly (which shouldn't be hard, it's only 12 minutes).

Damn, you're dumb.

You're in Spewtilator so that says everything I need to know about you.

Yeah, having an opinion is fucking dumb, you're right. I'm going to go be lame and listen to something that actually interests me, brb

Also, Spewtilator > Nasum

Haha whooaaaaaaa... I will say that I think everything Nasum has done after Inhale/Exhale has been boring. Not my style at all, I'd never claim they aren't grindcore... they're just the boring, overly polished, relapse grindcore that I can't stand.


Just for fun, what exactly does me being in Spewtilator tell you? Aside from thinking Nasum is boring, of course.

God can we just all get past this whole I like Nasum no I hate Nasum Oh they are grindcore no they aren't grindcore. Who cares what the other thinks?

the new Cellgraft sounds good. The entire thing is on youtube. I wish it was on cd though instead of vinyl.

New Cellgraft is okay. loved the opening, but it was a bit of a teaser since the thing just blazes by too quickly. I'll have a review when I'm back from vacation probably.

Whoever said it is right, it is a grower though.

Should check out the new thedowngoing. If you don't know them it's dissonant noisey grindcore that's well done with guitar playing a bit similar to DxAx but a lot of variants and curveballs.

I said you're dumb because somebody quoted me and changed it so that I said Nasum is boring and then you requoted it. And Spewtilator is fucking god awful in every way.

As short as it is, it feels WAY longer. I think it might just be the production, because when the riffs are discernible, they sound awesome. "Unceded Marl" and "Deformed Resonations" are probably my favorites.

Well I disagree. But then again I listen to a lot of "punkier" grindcore and my definition of what is and isn't grindcore is p. exclusive. You also can't go by what this site says. It says Excruciating Terror is a death metal/grindcore band which is clearly not the case.



Dissonant noisy grindcore? Wow.

This is pretty awesome. It's not as dissonant as I thought it would be but def interesting and I enjoy it.

Not usually a fan of dissonant stuff but this is pretty rad, though the logo and album cover had me wary going in. Definitely like that they stick primarily to grinding and don't spend too much time on the artsy/breakdowny parts that kill most bands like this for me.



mission accomplished

Yeah, I like the LP, and have listened to it quite a bit since it came out. Deformed Resonations is my favorite so far. I wish it was a little longer, especially since they are breaking up. Is it out on vinyl yet?

Listened to the Cellgraft LP last night, thought it was pretty cool! I totally get the sentiment that the actual length:feels-like length is a bit skewed, but usually those types of albums end up sticking around on the turntable for good lengths of time.

I need to buy that thedowngoing album. FleshMonolith's post on his blog about the EP prior to this one hyped up my curiosity enough to check out all their other stuff, and I have to say it's pretty awesome. I'm a huge fan of dissonant/semi-techy stuff in grind that actually manages to be brutal as fuck without descending into self-parody, but there's like three or four bands out there today that manage to do that even remotely well in my book. Good to add another band to the top of that list.

Did anybody pick up that Immortal Fate/Plutocracy split LP, perchance? Plutocracy's side is on YT and sounds pretty killer, wondering how Immortal Fate's is since that band absolutely crushes. I'll probably end up ordering it regardless.

Been jamming the Powercup/PHF split this morning, this shit is so good.

This is the greatest endorsement I've heard for a band ever.

I would have purchased thedowngoing if bandcamp would damn work right for me. I might have to wait till i get home. I enjoy everything they have up. wish that first one was on cd as well.

I emailed them and they even have copies of I am become. got all 3 shipped for 23 bucks. well worth the money.

Happy to hear all the love for thedowngoing. They're touring the states this fall if any of you are interested. I'm pretty excited.


As I expected, the cellgraft lp did grow on me. Once you hear it a couple of times and pick out the riffs and cool drum patterns it quickly becomes an exceptional album.

Check out my review here (with streaming).
