Holy ****ing god!!!! I can barely make myself heard at a concert and this guy can compete with the guitars?!?! This man is god! And the dedication. He was obviously about to pass out, but he never stopped. That deserves some kind of ****ing award, seriously.

Pig Destroyer is a great band, probably my favorite from Scott Hull... though I do like Agoraphobic Nosebleed as well, "Frozen Corpse Stuffed with Dope" is an amazing album, which has been called "The Paul's Boutique" of Grindcore". "Altered States of America" is also cool, "Honky Reduction" was the first I heard from them and also enjoy.

Another band that I have not seen mentioned yet (though have not looked at early posts) is Brutal Truth, "Need to Control" is a must hear album for the newcomer.

oh, and I suggest this album as well:


and another project with John Zorn:

Guts of a Virgin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

both of these are just insane records, jazzy grindcore.

Naked City's s/t will always be my top John Zorn album.
And does anyone like Flesh Parade? Kill Whitey is a classic among grind.

That album is brilliant. I would advise that one be listed to as well. Though bearing the Naked City name, the first album was release under only John Zorn. Great album, I picked "Torture Garden" as first for Grindcore fans since it is just the short noisy stuff, which would probably be more interesting to them first. The first album, has many of the songs on it, plus the jazz numbers as well.. It is a diverse peice of work.. it is like Grindcore/Surf Rock/Noise/Jazz experimentation, great stuff... probably my favorite off of it would be:



and, this is where my last.fm name came from:

Yep that album kicks ass.
I've been listening to alot of Jon Chang stuff lately, especially GridLink. Anyone like them, Discordance Axis, or Hayaino Daisuki?

Naked City is great, anything with both John Zorn and Yamantaka Eye in one place is amazing to me. Yamantaka Eye is a lunatic, especially in the days of Hanatarash, the famous Harsh Noise project... The Boredoms also had their moments.

for those not familiar with Hanatarash though.... holy hell it is a freak show.




his most nitorious of acts though would probably be the famous bulldozer incident, where he drove it into the back door a club in Tokyo and onto the stage... no video exsists, but this slideshow shows it pretty well.

Discordance Axis are ok, Jouhou & The Inalienable Dreamless are quality. I guess I prefer these releases over earlier material as the riffs seem to have a general direction, whereas earlier recordings it just seems random.

I haven't listened to his non-Discordance Axis work. I've been working my way backwards through metal for the last few years.

"Altered States of America" may be cool but it's self-indulgent; not from a listeners perspective, but the musicians creating it. The only times I've enjoyed popping that album in is when I want to **** with people.

Cybergrind, really, is one of the most self-indulgent genres there is. The general quality of the genre is actually lower than bedroom black metal. Really, when Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Prosthetic ****, & Libido Airbag are the standard bearers of your genre.... there are problems.

Nemo are good. If anyone had the lowdown on some Nemo I'd be much appreciative.

I remember first thing I heard from Pig Destroyer though, was this.... covering Helmet. "Painter of Dead Girls" is the album.



Probably one of the weakest releases of theirs, but holds some memory for me. This sounds more like Helmet as seen through the eyes of Today is the Day to me.

Might be the heaviest album I've ever heard.
