Carcass - Complete Peel Sessions

I talked about Carcass a good while ago here, back when they originally started their "reunion" tour. Lucky for you, they're still on that very same tour and probably coming to a dive-bar near you, playing all of your favorite hits from Necroticism and Heartwork. How is it that Carcass is still doing this tour, but Sleep refuses to push their reunion beyond a couple dates in the UK? Does anyone care anymore?

...anyway--this is a complete collection of their John Peel recording sessions, dating from late '89 and '91. The entirety of the sessions wasn't circulated until their 'Best-of' album 'Choice Cuts' was released...and since most of you probably didn't bother with it, I packaged it on its own:

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:

Orange Goblin

This one's another promo I got at my last job, Orange Goblin's "Healing Through Fire". This was my first run in with the band...my boss described them as "Danzig if he was in a stoner rock band". This is some heavy, sludgy, 70s nostalgia stuff; enjoy it: Orange Goblin - Healing Through Fire

Dopethrone

You can't go anywhere on the internet without stumbling over this album...and there's a reason for that. This is Electric Wizard's heaviest album--maybe one of the heaviest albums ever made, depending on who you talk to. The guitars are super fuzzed out and tuned down and the vocals are shrouded within all of it, just the way I like it. If you haven't heard it--do yourself a huge favor and give it a listen:

Part 2

AHAB

I got a promo for this album a couple of years ago....how can I start to even describe this? This band is fucking behemoth. Titanic. Gargantuan even. This will crush your fucking skull. Fucking killer skulking funeral doom. Epic heaviness. This will eat your fucking soul. Writing about it makes me want to listen to it again. Download this. Buy this. If you don't you will regret it.
