Man Is the Bastard - Abundance of Guns (1992)

Yeah yeah yeah everyone knows Man Is the Bastard but this shit doesn't get much attention for some reason. I always liked them most at their most primal with the vocals pushed forward in the mix (Our Earth's Blood, anyone?) and that's exactly what you get with this one. At first I only liked those first really short fucking ragers but now I'm all FOREVER HAS BEGUN 24/7 straight up. This whole thing is the shit.

Lack of Interest - Take Another Step (2006)

This album is better than the more well known Trapped Inside, a powerviolence classic. It doesn't have the crazy awesome vocals of that other album but makes up for it with piercing guitar work and an appropriate production job. Trapped Inside is just a bit too muddy for their style, though still a good album. This one grows on me with each listen, really charming and fun in some way and very impressive for coming 7 years after their classic. Also has one of the illest album covers of all time.
