Cough - Ritual Abuse [2010]


I just bought this album today because it said "Recommended for fans of: Electric Wizard, Eyehategod, etc." and I'll be damned if it doesn't sound exactly like Eyehategod with Jus Oborn on vocals. Fucking great release and I'm hoping to look more into these guys. Slow, crushing riffs. Dissonant atmosphere and droning vocals. If you like Electric Wizard or Eyehategod, fucking check these dudes out! Cough were formed in 2005 in Richmond, Virginia. They have two full lengths, an EP and a split album. Their lyrics are usually about misanthropy and sin. This is a fucking solid release and if you get the chance, pick it up. Five tracks of heavy, evil sludge/doom.

Bathtub Shitter - Dancehall Grind [2005]


Dancehall Grind is another one of my favourite grindcore albums. Bathtub Shitter are a fairly well known band amongst the grind scene and have put out great shit such as this album. I own this album and was asked by a friend to upload the better quality rip so I did and figured I'd share this with you guys as well. Bathtub Shitter are from Osaka, Japan and formed in 1996. They blend grindcore, death metal, thrash metal and punk into one shitstorm of intense grind. Their lyrical content has several references to shit, nature conservation and politics. They've released three full length, two comps, and three splits. This album will for sure fuck you up and knock you down.
