Napalm Death- Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism album review. FFO: Creative, crushing hardcore punk with the brutality of extreme metal. Napalm Death is an extreme music force that has consistently created and influenced so many bands and genres. Always political and with their fingers very clearly on the pulse sonically and topical.  Album number 16 is a cracker and continues the vitriol that Apex Predator-Easy meat dropped from it's every pore. Except again and which is a very ND trait with some new variation and twists. The drums are punishing, the bass lines dominate every track, the riffs peel your fucking skin back and vocally Barney hyperextends himself in new depths. The well-constructed wordplay in both song titles and lyrics are as magnificent as always. Rather than go thru every track and believe me every track fits well into the album as a coherent whole and it flows exceptionally well; this writer will cast my looking glass over the tracks I personally raise the v...

Sanctioned has achieved cult-like status for a band that has only played about ten shows. But their aggressive intent is so damn clear, this is a band who grabs you around the throat and demands your attention with their hectic grind/crust roundhouse kick to the face. The artisan like skillsets of each member is very apparent from being in so many seminal bands and this shows it's brilliance in both solid songwriting ability and being killer live performers. The band has recorded their debut album Annexation which should drop in November. And you know already, it will be a certified classic. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the harsh, erosive and momentous metal force that is Sanctioned. Sanctioned interview with PaulyDog and Jay. Sanctioned comes with some heavyweight Melbourne extreme music legends in its foundations; give us the history of this epic old school grindcore battalion, keen to hear how the band come about and also for those sleeping under a rock, your member...

  V (5 way split) Congeria | CUR | Drugoth | Infernal Trench | Orbyssmal review. FFO: Pure brutal, nasty, vile, sandpaper to your genitals or hide in the forest music. Music is often tainted by the mainstream and stupid trends. That's why this split is refreshing as fuck. 13 tracks of nasty and crazed metal abrasiveness. Featuring Orbyssmal from Brisbane, Australia who we have reviewed and worshipped previously, Drugoth from Brisbane also.Then Congeria from Costa Rica, Infernal Trench from Wisconsin, USA and CUR from Troy, NY. All are varied in their tone and objective, but fuck me what a action packed split. The overall genre is black metal, but the various flavours are all apparent here, except commercial dull variations of this type. Orbyssmal play lofi, raw nihilistic styles, Congeria are in the Venom old school vein, Drugoth is more of blackened style with some crust influence, Infernal Trench play war metal brilliantly and CUR are in the atmospheric/depressive BM style. But t...

Christbait boxset. FFO: Oz's best ever metal band. Two things jump out about this amazing band. 1-The music was crushing, original, and screamed fuck you to dull genre pigeonholing.  2-Their influence was not on copycat bands but making you want to form a band. So much love for an incredible band that only existed for roughly five years.Hence people were ecstatic to hear that Goatsound Records was releasing the works burger for this groundbreaking metal band.  First up, the packaging is so sick. 4 records of goodness, perfectly remastered by Paul Fox and contained in a cooler than your ebay bought original Death Metal tshirt box with a funky magnetic thingo that enclosed the gems within. Oh, and a punk as fuck patch and a epic booklet that is the best one I have seen for a boxset period.  Contained within is all the gory details with plenty of artsyfartsy pics, flyers and other stuff you will wank yourself silly over (and rightfully so...
