Pigs - You Ruin Everything

You Ruin Everything, the debut album by Pigs has been released on the Solar Flare Records Bandcamp. Pigs feature current and former members of Unsane, Converge and Freshkill, and play a rocking combination of punk, sludge, noise, and hardcore. Pounding drums, angular guitar riffs and really heavy basslines. The production is an outstanding, organic sounding job. Each instrument is clearly defined in the mix, the sound is thick and tangible, and the bass tone is just beyond gnarly. Here's a review from Church of the Riff, and below you find a player to click on.

Early Graves - Goner

Early Graves' Goner is 10 tracks, 25 minutes, of relentlessly ferocious crusty sludge metal. The music is violent, the guitars sound thick and huge (the bass too) and the solos are perfectly sloppy. The heaviness is enhanced by the production, it is dense, raw and 100% analog (Goner was recorded to 2 inch tape). Catchy songs hide beneath the crunching, feedback-laden guitars and the raging hardcore roar. This is the sound of raw anger, at the world and at oneself, put to tape. Here are reviews from Metal Review, AllMusic and Invisible Oranges.
