Sonic Cathedrals Vol CXVIII HUMAN CULL Track List:
Nasum – ‘Silent’
Possibly the most important band to us as grindcore fans, and as Human Cull itself. Their influence is undeniable. This song has been chosen over the many, many great songs they wrote (I honestly can’t think of one I dislike) mainly for that opening riff. All the crush.
Napalm Death – ‘Retreat to Nowhere’
From Enslavement to Obliteration IS grindcore. As an album I don’t think there’s a more perfect example, even over 20 years later. Pick any song from this album to go onto a mixtape or playlist and you’ll hear no complaints from me. I chose this one mainly for Mick’s ‘YEEEEESSS’ at the end.
Insect Warfare – ‘Mind Ripper’
I consider Insect Warfare to be a game-changing band. Everything afterwards has had to step up or be destroyed by their relentless whirlwind assault.
Converge – ‘Bitter and Then Some’
Stepping away from grindcore just slightly to another hugely influential band. Converge have that little extra something over similar bands that I just cannot get enough of.
Bulletridden – ‘Deny the Serpent’
Bristol bolt-throwing deathcrust. Vocals that sound like rotting flesh falling away from a wet corpse. Excellent raging punk to bang your mouldy dreads to.
Giftgasattack – ‘C.B.M.’
A ‘slow’ song from their split with Desperat. This is noisy.
Goatsblood – ‘Drull’
Wretched grinding sludge. The riffs tug at you in horrible ways.
Pig Destroyer – ‘Junkyard God’
For me, and probably a lot of other people my age Pig Destroyer is the first grindcore band I ever really loved. Prowler in the Yard is still one of my favourite albums, making them one of my favourite and most influential bands, even if their later stuff is a bit tired and over-produced…
Assuck – ‘Parade of the Lifeless’
Hammering in the classic grindcore bands early on. Assuck rule. End of story.
Discordance Axis – ‘Pattern Blue’
Weird riffs, mental screaming and endless blasting. Discordance Axis took re-writing the rule book of music and turned it up to 11. Again, undeniable influence, but in ways no other grindcore/hardcore/crust bands ever come close. to.
Wormrot – ‘Erased Existence’
Singapore’s finest wade in to lay waste to everyone with their chaotic and mentally fast blend of everything good that’s come before them. Modern grindcore legends.
Kill the Client – ‘Cleptocracy’
And speaking of modern legends, Kill the Client do a pretty good job of holding up their end of all that is good with grindcore today. Plus one of the best drummers in the business (and a huuuuge influence on my playing personally).
Carnage – ‘Infestation of Evil’
From their only album, and a somewhat left field choice in terms of Swedeath (why not Dismember?!) but this is as evil as the name promises. Metalpunk deathcrush.
Wolfpack – ‘Cinde-fucking-rella’
Could have had a number of Wolfpack songs, but this one has THE chorus of all time. ‘RELLAAAAAARRRRGH!!
Disclose – ‘Tragic End’
What their singer met with and an absolutely thrashing fizzed out d-beat noispunk flaying. Japanese d-beat legends. See below from more Japanese punk at it’s best.
324 – ‘New Rotation’
Japan certainly know how to produce awesome bands. 324 blast harder than pretty much everyone. Deal with it.
In Disgust – ‘Thrown Out’
Heavier than a ton of bricks, flung forward at breakneck speed. Relentless, keep up or be annihilate.
Infest – ‘In His Name’
Infest are the epitome of 90’s US powerviolence, and have influenced a great deal of bands since, right across the global extreme punk scene.
Terrorizer – ‘Injustice’
If you don’t agree with me in saying FETO is the ultimate classic grindcore album, then surely Terrorizer’s “World Downfall” is the alternative. All the blasting and all the riffs.
Magrudergrind – ‘Excommunicated’
After playing with and seeing these guys live earlier this year, I can confirm that Magrudergrind destroy. Everything.
Swans – ‘Cop’
Slow and deliberate no wave. Spoken and chanted vocals ride over an industrial throbbing and scraping. When grindcore bands play slow, this is what they are saluting.
Human Remains – ‘Swollen’
A somewhat unknown classic band, featuring blastbeat stylings from Dave Witte, and some of the coolest and strangest guitar-work in extreme music ever.
Gridlink – ‘The Last Red Shoulder’
MORE BLASTING! Everything is ramped up to mental levels with this band. I Love them.
Gadget – ‘Leaders of the (Rat) Pack’
Swedish grind-lords Gadget sure know how to make some powerful music. Plus as some name dropping, their drummer, William Blackmon mixed some of our records.
No Comment – ‘Past Tense’
Scathing powerviolence legends. Noisy, fast, good.
Dropdead – ‘Bullshit Tradition’
More fast powerviolence done properly. Not much else left to say.
Amebix – ‘Winter’
Formative crust punk that feels like it’s channelling the departed spirit of Ian Curtis.
Crossed Out – ‘He-Man’
My personal favourite 90s US powerviolence band. Seriously pissed off and fucked up, which is exactly how it should be.
Godflesh – ‘Locust Furnace’
Because no mix tape is complete without something oppressive and miserable by Godflesh on it.
The Afternoon Gentlemen – ‘Tache Thrash’
The gents destroy. Every. Damn. Time.
Slayer – ‘Reborn’
Fuckin’ SLLLLAAAAAYYYYYYEEERRRR, you just know man.
DRI – ‘I Don’t Need Society’
Crossover thrash that rips in seriously speedy fashion. Chosen this song because it’s quickly becoming apparent that I really don’t need society.
Cryptic Slaughter – ‘Rage to Kill’
Fast and loose and undeniably influential whether people realise it or not. The building blocks of that thing we all call grindcore…
Repulsion – ‘The Lurking Fear’
Genesis. If I didn’t put Repulsion on here, I might as well not have bothered with anything else. Random song choice because they’re all good.
Doom – ‘War crimes’
The opening sample sets a sombre tone. Unfortunately this suffers from electric kit syndrome, but it’s still a rough-hewn crustgrind classic with killer riffs and vocals.
Ringworm – ‘Death Do us Part’
‘Lies! A Bunch of Fucking Lies!’ The best Holy Terror album.
Six Brew Bantha – ‘Violence Fuels Hatred’
Fast, angry and destructive grindcore. My favourite discovery in recent times has been this album.
Cloud Rat – ‘Widowmaker’
Neo-crust gets a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to people’s opinions, but pushed into grindcore levels of intensity it’s pretty damn effective. Cloud Rat, I think, are an excellent example of this. It’s like emo but all blasting and shit…
Lycanthropy – ‘Primitive Game’
Czech grinders sure know how to go fast. More mental tempo changes and stop-go bits than you can waggle a stick at.
Looking for an Answer – ‘Repugnancia, Aersion Y Odio’
If Mentally Murdered era Napalm Death never ended, it would sound like that, and that is fine by me.
Fear Factory – ‘Self Bias Resistor’
Cos it’s ridiculously heavy and has nice sing along bit too.
Feastem – ‘Working Man Blues’
Feastem are FAST. And I mean really really fast. Having the opportunity to play with them a few times has been a real treat as they totally bring it live. Did I mention they were fast?
Yacopsae – ‘Apokalypsae’
This band rules and this song has whistling in it. I have no other words.
Disrupt – ‘Lack of Intelligence’
US hardcore/crust or whatever you wanna call it, it’s fast, it’s hard, it’s good.
Sepultura – ‘Under Siege’
Classic punked-up death-thrashing, what more can I say about Sepultura at this point?
Unkind – ‘Johtajat Ja Uhrit’
Unkind are great and their sound generally falls somewhere between the expanse of Neurosis and the feral thrashings of early Disfear, except that this is one of their more prolonged tracks. Powerful.
Ladyscraper – ‘Poontang’
A wild card choice from our mate Steve. Horrible in a good way.
The Kill – ‘Second to None’
Australia isn’t well known for producing top quality grindcore bands, but when they do, fuck, are they blistering. The Kill are a prime example of that.
PLF – ‘Unseen Deceiver’
Relentless, blasting riff fest. PLF sound like Assuck on crack. All the good.
Deviated Instinct – ‘Listen to the Sirens’
From the 12″ Nailed ep, upon which DI sounded like a stripped down ‘Heartwork’ era Carcass.
This is a cover of Tubeway Army and combines a surreal atomsphere with their typical bludgeoning approach. A good one to close on.
