Ikka Shinjyuu - Kurbitsuri

My favorite Japanese hardcore excepting Detestation. The vocal performance is one of my favorite ever (some of the most manic yelling you'll ever hear.) The first track is dominated by the vocals. The second track is just a distorted motherfucker of a song. Somehow their least popular release, it's by far their best and clearly their most unique.

you know me they call me birdman jr

Hog Mountin - Tales From The Iron Lung

Cullman is a small town in Alabama that is actually too redneck for the rest of Alabama. In fact, I think it's one of the few places where the KKK is still alive and well. So, out of this horribly shitty environment, the most elite sludge you've never heard is born. This album is gritty, filthy, lo-fi and relentlessly heavy. "Doomchild" and "Clan of Stone: Foggy Mountain Breakdown" are seriously two of the heaviest recordings ever made. It's a shame the only material they recorded before they broke up was this and a split with Mose, and I'm not even sure if either of those are still in print or how many were initially printed in the first place.

urgh

K2 - Metal Dysplasia

K2 uses a harsh noise soundset of metal swangin n bangin to make music more consuming than it is violent. Like standing in the eye of a hurricane of shrapnel. A 70 minute monster but worth it.

got a pocket fulla drugz n mo thugs than bone
