Magrudergrind - Self Titled

Magrudergrind is thrashviolence/grindcore/'whatever genre tag you want to regurgitate' from the Baltimore/District of Columbia area. Here's a vinyl rip of Magrudergrind's self-titled EP, released sometime in late May/early June. I've been avoiding uploading this for a month or so now, but I think the band has more vested interest in people digging their album than making profit.

Disassemble - Demogrinder

If this baby-eating motherfucker could be represented through sound...he would be Disassemble.

Local (for us), Baltimore based grindcore. This 2008 demo counts as their first release, and it's not a bad foot to start out on. Mix the emotion of 'Dystopia' with the thrashviolence of Magrudergrind, and you've got Disassemble. I still haven't gotten the chance to catch them live yet, but I met Kyle, Billy, and Kevin a little while back. Cool dudes:

Nocnitsa Demos + Reupped Talking Head Performance

Bleak Metal from Baltimore, MD. They've recorded one cassette demo, and are currently in the works of producing their first album. The tape demo is 30 minutes long and features both songs recorded from their April '08 Talking Head Club Performance, as well as some more macabre acoustic and percussive tracks recorded outdoors:

2007/08 Cassette Demo

A little while back Mediafire decided to get fresh and delete my upload of Nocnitsa's show at the Talking Head Club last year, so here's a reupp:

Nocnitsa @ The Talking Head Club April 21st, 2008

And for the hell of it, here's a song from Blodtorste's demo, which was essentially made up of Nocnitsa's original line-up:

Blodtorste - Bleed For the Count

They've got a show coming up next month with Locrian, Corporeal, and The New Flesh July 8th at the Talking Head Club in Baltimore, MD (off of Saratoga), as well as a show with Corporeal and Ludicra in August (details to come in soon).

Included are Deathammer's 2008 Demo and their full set (plus interview) here at WMUC. Pure Baltimore Thrash:

NOCNITSA

This is in reference to the post we made back when NOCNITSA made their first appearance at WMUC on Third Rail with Ol' Scratch. The dude who was originally hosting a recording of their live gig at the Talking Head, a month before the WMUC show, took it down, so I'm going to re-up it:

NOCNITSA - Live @ the Talking Head

Again, I want to stress; if you're going to check out ANY band on mindgrinder, at least check out the guys who really need to exposure...including the bands I've listed in that little box above our posts. Support local music.

ALSO; this is a blog related note...this is old news to us, but you may or may not have noticed that our old "mediamax" links no longer work. The site's changed quite a bit since we originally started using it, and I'm pretty sure that they no longer host files for free...so that means that our old old old posts, back from when the show originally started, have crossed out links to song samples we used to post. There are also removed links from old band spots we've done in the past, such as RAMMER and the ChristPunchers. In the future I'll try to be more prompt with taking care of "hosting issues" and keep you guys updated. Take care.
