Wormrot have done the incredible and topped "Abuse", this album absolutely crushes. With 25 songs coming in at 18 minutes Wormrot offer some intense, catchy grindcore. They have also stepped up their musicianship immensely. One of the things I have always loved about Wormrot that most grind bands seem to forget about, is their great riffs. Arif has also improved vocally, with a better, more refined vocal style. Overall, this is a great album and the only thing I think that has a chance to top "Dirge" this year is the new Pig Destroyer. Some of my favorite songs on "Dirge" are "Principle of Puppet Warfare", "Manipulation", and "Evolved Into Nothing". This album is also available to download for free
here, but I highly recommend that you pre-order it.

i've spent about two months trying to figure out how i feel about dirge before i sit down to right. i'm not quite there yet. i don't think it's as good as abuse, but i'm trying to figure out whether that's on their part or just my unreasonable expectations.
ReplyDeletesigh. sit down to *write*
ReplyDeletejesus. it's not like i get paid to write or anything.
Yeah, Dirge took a while to grow on me, but now I love it. If it's not as good as Abuse its at least equal. Have you heard the ANb/Despise You split?
ReplyDeletenot yet. i've been debating whether to grab that. despise you never did much for me and i find recent anb kinda meh. i'm more of a pcp torpedo/frozen corpse/altered states kinda guy.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I liked Agorapocalypse for a little while but now I can't stand to listen to it. I love Frozen Corpse though, and the new ANb song I have heard from the split is pretty good. I haven't heard much Despise You, but everybody has been telling me to check them out, so I will probably buy the split. Have you heard the new Maruta?
ReplyDeletethe new maruta has eluded me. i couldn't find it in my local fye, relapse wasn't stocking it when i placed my last order, and then willowtip sent me a stream of it, but firefox kept crashing because of malware on the site. i have pissed off some elder god, apparently.
ReplyDeletenew despise you is nowhere near as intense as their old stuff seeing as their all pretty old dudes no offense to chris dodge or anything, but their voices sound a bit tired on the new split. get their discography before the agoraphobic nosebleed split and DO NOT listen to the despise you tracks off of this comp kills fascists vol. 2 because they fucking suck
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm too late because I just bought the ANb split yesterday haha
