This is
MyDyingBride's '
As The Flower Withers' from 1992 on Peacevile records.
MyDyingBride is the self destructive form of anger during the coping process that forces us to lash out at ourselves in time of crises when we have no other release. It is dark poetic art in the vein of
Asunder,
ParadiseLost, and
Anathema.The music is typically guttural vocals overlapping melodic guitar and the occasional violin and keyboard section. These guys remind me of a much prettier and more put together
Axegrinder. So all in all this is like a mix of DeathMetal and Doom, or FuneralDoom, or whatever you wanna call it. While
MyDyingBride is known for being pretty and slow this album certainly has some faster or at least mid-tempo songs. It seems as though this would be perfect to listen to on a rain day, after shoe gazing for a while. Stand out tracks include 'The Bitterness and the Bereavement', Sear Me' , and 'Well i hope you like it.

This is Repulsion and their only LP simply entitled 'Horrified'. This was released in 1989 on the Necrosis label which was a subsidiary of Earache records that was run by Jeff"Carcass"Walker(i think). Any ways this album rocks it reminds me of early Carcass mixed with Venom. I always hear them being lumped in with the grindcore genre and i am not sure why, i understand they have blast beats but that doesn't necessarily make you grindcore right? If i had my way, (and luckily since i run this thing, i do) I would call it Lo-fi Death Punk. As to expect from the cover and song titles like "Maggots In Your Coffin" and "Splattered Cadavers" you are gonna get your basic run of the mill death filled songs about gore soaked zombie holocaust's and the nuclear Apocalypse. So stop bascing in happiness and gera up for the emminent horror that is Repulsion!
This is The First Release from BoltThrower, the less epic 'InbattleThereIsNoLaw' released in 1988. Many people just pass this record off as a stepping stone for what they would latter become saying that its sloppy and not as well thought out. I feel rather differently, i think this is their best album by far. The other releases while more technically perfect, they lack the same kind of young sloppy"raw" energy that this one has. Plus The artwork is worlds better then the stuff based from the "Warhammer Gaming Series". That's all i really have to say, Now i am off to go eat some ToFurky, Macaroni Salad, and Sweet Potatoes.
