Nice, as much as I haven't enjoyed their output as of late they rip pretty hard live.

Ooooh, need to hear this!

They are playing in Philly with Master, Devourment, Malignancy, Brutal Truth and Cannabis Corpse among others. Can't wait to go since I missed them in Buffalo a few months ago.

Dude, my buddies in Mangled, Coffin Dust, and Tombstalker are all playing that fest as well, totally ripping bands, you should check them out if you're gonna be there.

I think I've heard of Coffin Dust I'll definitely check them out.

yep. caught them awhile back with Magrudergrind right when Rehashed came out and it was fucking awesome. Phobia's great live...couldn't care for them on record anymore.

Yo, anyone here check out Rapturous Grief yet?

Yeah dawg, hometown rippahs!

RG is rad, I initially checked them out because their name reminded me of Gorguts, but they rule nonetheless.

What the hell is Lycanthrophy up to? And why the hell aren't they more popular?

*Edit* this band's on MA? Ma's getting a bit tolerant in its old age.

Lycanthropy rules. Glad I'm not the only one who knows about them.

Lycanthrophy'll have a split out with The Kill, just sayin'.

Lycanthrophy's start/stops are jaw-dropping. The few live vids of them I've seen prove that they can do it on stage too!

Word to both. I'll snagg that kill split for sure if it's not shipped from one of those dumb fuck countries thats not 'MERICA.

Happy to hear they pull off that stuff live. Would kill to see them in some big basement that has adequate AC but is cramped enough that everyone's moshing

holy shit I think I've stumbled onto a real gem here

Ya know, Water Torture has been getting a ton of hype lately and the only thing of theirs I've been able to get in to thus far is their side of the split with SBB that isn't out yet. Not sure what the appeal on the other stuff is... different strokes for different folks I guess.

Shellfire! is dope as shit. You're just not cool enough to "understand" it... maaaaan

They are awesome. See them live some time it will change your mind. They play with like four cabs each lol. Basically Total Fucking Destruction if they had only a bass player and more powerviolence influence. Their stuff with SBB sounds straight up like Total Fucking Destruction.

Moezes is going to do a side project with the guitar player from thedowngoings also.



Check out this blog post of mine.Includes two water torture albums, two inerds album (which is Water Torture with dual female vocals) and Bestower which was a hardcore band which was also before Water Torture.

Yeah, I definitely get the impression that they'd be rad live... i don't like TFD though

I live what I've heard of Water Torture but it def doesn't floor me. I think it's well done for what it is. Haven't bothered picking up anything though. and how you said they sound like total fucking destruction makes me like them even less just cause of that. I really don't like that band at all.

Idk I love TFD. They have the same vocal styles and kind of flow. Early TFD is the best. Way better then anything Brutal Truth is doing I can damn sure tell you that.

Cloud Rat and thedowngoing were two other bands I was listening to last night which were good. Can't believe the vocalist from Cloud Rat is a woman, when listening to them I was actually thinking how brutal the vocals were. Turns out they're playing a gig about half an hour away by train in March, might have to go.

Yeah, that new Cloud Rat is real good, cheers to FM on calling attention to it. thedowngoing is another one that just isn't my bag, maybe I need to revisit.


I don't think that's really saying much haha

Why?



I really, really want to like this band but I just cannot get into them. On paper, they're everything I would like and more. Frustrating...I'll still keep tabs on them though, because who knows, maybe something of theirs in the future will click with me.

I don't hear TFD at ALL. I hate that band and if I thought for a second Water Torture sounded like them I wouldn't be listening to them nearly every day.

That's just what I think. Mostly because the vocal styles. Moezes does the clean shouting thing similar to Rich Hoak. The stuff with SBB sounds like it more because of the guitar. Are they really similar? Not really. TFD is more "zany" in my opinion and Water Torture has sludge and noise stuff but the vocals are so similar.

Don't understand the hate for TFD. My favorite stuff is their demos where they are more rawer sounding.

Also you guys should check out my friends band Beard Without A Mustache. Tech grind stuff similar to Discordance Axis, Pig Destroyer, etc. Good stuff going to have a full length out this year.

I bet this band will never be on a Mustache Mincers comp...

Did your friend tell you what Oscar the Grouch's rate was for using his trash can to record in?

Just how you said TFD is 'zany' yea I fucking hate shit like that. I got Compact Disc Version 1 and it's boring and fucking terrible. Anything else I've heard from them since has fallen into one of those categories.


Any shitting talking on Brutal Truth is hilarious because you have proven to have no opinion worth reading anymore.

Beard Without a Mustache... not really hearing the Discordance Axis or Pig Destroyer. more like Asterisk* and Highwater Waltz but I do enjoy it... they named their band after me

Lol I've always found how he looks while he drums hilarious. Still hate TFD, I can't watch his face when he is blasting.

I've always heard your "Playing face" is the same as your "Sex face"

...

If that's true I feel bad for sexual partners.

Rich Hoak does not blast, he lightly taps his snare while hitting his kick drum intermittently. He's a pretty big part of the reason Brutal Truth sucks live nowadays. I haven't heard any of their new studio material so I can't really comment on that.

Frankly, I don't really like Water Torture either. I think its the bass-only thing that turns me off, never been a big fan of bands like that, usually. The material/riffs by themselves are pretty decent powerviolence, and they're pretty cool live too. Thedowngoing I didn't like live or recorded, though.

Yea you know what I meant when I said blast, i always wondered how any sound ever came of the snare anyway. I like thedowngoring, when I heard them I bought all their material they had out. I have to say I still really hate the 3in cds esp when they come in the 3in case, how the fuck is this supposed to go in my collection? I have to damn put it inside a normal jewel case to leave it on my shelf so it won't get lost.

I really wish I could go to Shut Up Fest this year, that lineup looks fuckin' sweet. I'm hoping more cool shows come to the southeast this year.

Well if you didn't hear the cheering in the beginning it's a live album.

Dude, tell me about it. I don't even want to look at that thread on TLAL cuz it just bums me out.

Very true. I bet he uses fucking 7a sticks too or some shit. There's more reasons why the suck live, mainly they play so few songs off the first lp. My friend and I saw them open for Nasum and my friend said "man this band sucks." then they played "Stench of Prophet" and he said "where the fuck are the songs like that?"



I feel the same way about Bass only bands and that's why I was so surprised I liked Water Torture so much. Bands like Godstomper absolutely suck, and my tolerance for MitB (i know, not bass only) is pretty thin, but Water Torture does a great job of having the bass plays actual riffs and not just fucking fat waves of distortion.

If you haven't checked out Shellfire! you really should.




Hahahahaha no I didn't. that's good cause that recording is ABYSMAL. I mainly said it for the lols. Also sounds a bit more on the technical side than grind side. Not hearing the Discordance Axis .

This thread needs more Dahmer
