(Relapse Records)
Release date: 2002

Review: Agoraphobic Nosebleed is constant in their drum-machine speedcory grind style, this album is more of the same typical, straightforward, schizophrenic, blazing-fast metal you should already know from the band, in theory... Part unnerving early Anal Cunt hysterical screaming fury, part take-no-prisoner Enemy Soil drum machine style grindcore... Track after track, the band bashes relentlessly on your brain like a head-splitting migraine. The album comes complete with feel-bad lyrics, delirium tremens, unrelenting fullspeed grinding, obnoxious attitude, drug-crazed hippie artwork and a neat S.O.D. cover version too. That's the better Relapse release in a while. Good grind, but a little pretentious in that they compare themselves to early Earache bands. (No way!)

Converge Review: Good impressions for Converge too, playing uncanny violent hardcore. Damn intense exciting song-writing with solid heavy guitar riffing, hyper-energic drums. A vocalist who spits all of his bile, in a quite high-pitched, twisted, manic way. They also play a couple of slower, sludgy songs. Emotionally sensitive and original, as well as totally kick-ass, and raw-sounding. Ultimate extreme sensations, delivered with a powerful sound production and brilliantly mastered musical technic. The cover sheet is huge, with awesome artwork (on a large poster) and complete lyrics. If I sound impressed, I am. www.relapse.com
