The Secret - Solve Et Coagula (2010)

The Secret from Italy play a blend of brooding hardcore that goes straight for the throat. Add in dashes of black metal, grind and crust for a healthy serving of intensity. Punch a nun in the spleen.

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity (1999)

Kings of odd time signatures, breakneck tempo shifts and instrumental wizardry is The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Calculating Infinity is the bands coup de grâce.

Nostromo - Ecce Lex (2002)

 

I am going to let this YouTube clip sum-up this feral onslaught.

If you aren't convinced after that, your ears have been compromised.

I am convinced.

Myotonia - Myotonia (2007)

This is what The Dillinger Escape Plan would sound like if they kept each song balls to the wall. Just with that sentence alone, I probably scared off more than half of you, understandably so. And if you had any brains you are probably thinking "You just fucking posted Hour of 13, and this is your follow up? Fucking Hour of 13." You're right, but I quickly recoil and respond with a lvl 18 eatabagofdicks. It's super effective!

This will surely not be for everyone, but those who share a particular like with the mathy style of chaotic hardcore will enjoy this. I have had this album in my collection since its release in '07 and even still it gets a spin every now and again.

Catharsis - Samsara (1997)

The album is called Samsara, and I am pretty sure the vocals are done by a pack of ravenous wolves. These surprisingly articulate wolves snarl their hate for God in just about every song, and that is awesome. "Good little wolves! Hey, stop gnawing on my arm!"

Example in song: Every Man For Himself... And God Against Them All

The wages of sin are freedom, and though the wages of freedom may be death
Is it not better to live with uncertainty than to fear to draw an honest breath?
So scrape the veil of faith from your eyes
Your prayers ascend like black smoke to the empty skies
Under your carnivorous god of deceit, maybe just maybe do you feel incomplete?

Ok, so maybe the vocals are done by a man. I am guilty of hyperbole quite often, and this will become increasingly apparent as you peruse this blog. (Which I ask myself, why do you waste your time here?)

In short, this album is blaspheming 90's Metalcore, so click the link below and download it.


Mmm...Sacrilicious
