Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Agorapocalypse
One of the most extreme bands in all of metal history, the grindcore outfit Agoraphobic Nosebleed returns to the forefront with their third full length. Songwriter Scott Hull once again set out for destruction, with a renewed line-up and the finest production an Agoraphobic Nosebleed record has ever seen. If you’re a fan of this shit, don’t even bother to read this review, pick it up blindly and find out you’ve just bought yourself your favourite record of 2009.
Frankly I don’t even feel like writing this review. Why? Because this disc is just fucking superb. They’ve outdone themselves once more, especially with the nice production. I must say the band sounds slightly different, in a toned down way. Like less grindcore, but still the same intensity the music has always had. This time around they pack a three vocalist attack, with one of them being the female singer of the doom metal band Salome. She is new in the ranks, but manifests herself as a key player on this record. A real nasty grind scream comes out of this girl, very nice!
What more do you want to know? The eight string utterly low-tuned guitar roars like a pack of lions once more, while the devastating programmed drums bash your face in relentlessly. I like the fact that it sounds like a lot of time was put into programming this, for the drums sound extremely well done on Agorapocalypse. There is even a drum solo programmed on this disc!
Well fuck it. If you’re a real man that loves extreme fucking grindcore music, this is a fucking must. Sissy fashioncore kids stay away from this one, you might wet yourself. Fuck this shit is good! Impossible brutality!!!
