Most people like to rant about politics and everything in between whilst making an unnecessary fuss about it – ranging from the radical (yet awesome) Rage Against The Machine to the average whining 16 year olds who think they know everything. Take all of that out of the equation and you end up with the LA based rapper Hyro Da Hero’s album Birth School Work Death. He churns up politically charged tunes while fusing hip-hop and rock influences in an attempt “To bring real music back”.
Epidemia is Ill Nino’s second release for Victory Records and the follow-up to 2010’s Dead New World. It’s a solid, aggressive and focused album that could very well be the bands biggest and best offering since their groundbreaking record 'Confession' in 2003.
It’s been 5 years since DC’s Pig Destroyer has released an album. Their new album, Book Burner, is said to be “meticulously tailor-made for destruction, with a blood thirst for riffs,” and it doesn’t disappoint. After several listens, it’s a fucking penetrating album, and an outline of what American grindcore should be.
