7.
Hwi Noree - Start my Engine 03:21

Listening to this split EP with no background knowledge of the bands other than where they are based from. The opening track by Hwi Noree, Mechanical, is more hardcore/metalcore than I expected. In fact, it sounds very southern hardcore. The second track, has a very Every Time I Die vibe. The vocals sound much like Pantera's vocalist with a modern metal flare. Okay, now the third track is all mathcore. Crazy. Anyway these songs are fun and full of slam-dancing and circle-pitting potential.

Now for Shit Yourself Little Parrot from Spain. This is completely different. This is like if Parasite-era See You Next Tuesday, HORSE the Band, and The Number Twelve Looks Like You collided in a T intersection. Sludgy breakdowns, Nintendo synths, from dissonant to jazzy chords, and grinding vocals. Their second track in particular, Jafudha Cresques, must be the theme of a video game from Hell. If you like spazzy mathcore, post grind, or nintendocore, you need to check this out.

Band Submission
Deformed Elephant Surgery is back from his two or three days of rest and writing with his hardest to pronounce album yet. Seriously, I have three DES releases in my iTunes from 2012 alone, and it's only April. Plus, look at that album title. It's a hoot. Anyway, he is certainly fine tuning his craft. Even with 14 tracks totaling 44 minutes, these songs do not lose your attention. The quick transitions to and from metal breakdowns, overly happy and slightly disturbing synthpop melodies, and dubstep breaks are much more refined, structured, and don't grow into something you expect. Each riff varies from the last. Plus, the buildups-drops fucking rule and can stand up next to famed EDM producers. The vocals, for those of you who don't know, range from falsetto singing, cartoon raised-pitch sounds, to slamgore guttural growls. Despite all the chaotic noise pounding your head, all the sounds are very bright and clear. Either there are high-quality instruments and plugins being used with good mixing, or these are cheap instruments and plugins with exceptional mixing. This release is very interesting and fun to listen to. Look at track 7, it's called Chug Chug Wub Wub. You need to hear it.

Band Submission

*Content sigh* I like this. This sort of reminds me of what I wanted to make when I started my solo project. This guy's songs blast. 16-year-old Michael Carnovale does not give you any rest in between chugging and shredding. If you are a drum- or production-fanatic, you may notice how digital the drum machine is. There is still some ringing of a repetitive splash cymbal in my ear. But I feel that the beyond-human drumming adds to the vibe of the genre. However, I would not lump this guy with other cybergrind bands. The riff-work is catchy, making up for the temporary lack of vocals, and the tone is not bad either. I am looking forward to hearing more from Pestilent Decay as he grows musically and perhaps starts to add vocals. Maybe he will get a full band and tour the continent? I can picture it happening. There is a lot of brutal potential here.

Band Submission

Well this band was a pleasant surprise this morning. I was expecting another metalcore band but what I got was yelling, singing, and pleasing guitar chords. There aren't many other genres to describe this other than punk, but this is not hardcore punk from the 80's. I always called music like this happy hardcore, a term I first saw used by the Angry Samoans. Upbeat songs, optimistic guitar chords and progressions, and appropriate singing. The best part about it, in my opinion, is the singing is not coming from some smooth-voiced prepubescent boy, but from a guy shouting his song with passion and energy while still carrying a catchy melody. I guess you could also call this pop punk, but I don't want to lump it into that bland category. This Swiss band is playing with a style filled with clones of the past but still keeping it fresh with honest musicianship. I recommend it, and might buy a physical copy if the shipping isn't too outrageous.
