Hot on the heals of releasing the new Phobia full-length, "Remnants of Filth", Willowtip Records is about to drop the new album from Sweden's Afgrund. Entitled "The Age Of Dumb"(subtle), Afgrund dishes out 18 tracks of ripping, modern grindcore. I honestly haven't payed much attention to this band, since they seemed to me to be just a Rotten Sound/Nasum worship band. But, you know, I like those two bands, so there really shouldn't be a reason for me to hate on Afgrund. And the two new tracks that are streaming are definitely rippers, and have convinced me to look into this band further. Listen to them now and share what you think! You can pick up the album on July 31st.

i've only listened to the age of dumb once straight through (that title, ugh) but it's not bad. not a huge improvement over what they've been doing, but a pretty decent listen.
ReplyDeleteThis band is great!These new tracks are more than good but whats with everybody copying rotten sound's guitar sound these days??
ReplyDeleteRotten sound and Nasum both use entombeds signature guitar tone not the other way round.
ReplyDeleteI dont think Nasum have the same sound as Rotten Sound since they use different amps and pedals.
ReplyDeleteMan rotten sound literally blogs about getting that entombed tone so you need to pull your head out and listen
