The self styled Rocky Mountain Hydro Grinders Cephalic Carnage return with a brand new CD entitled Xenosapien.
I first found this band when they released their second CD, Exploiting Dysfunction. In fact this was the first CD I purchased that was released after the 1900′s. Seems weird to say that now, but at the time it was kinda a big deal to me.

Canadian grinders Despised Icon are back with a brand new release entitled The Ills Of Modern Man released by Century Media.
I first found this band on Headbanger’s Ball (which I have seen 2 times in the last 20 years) on MTV of all places. I think it was the only band/video they played that night that was even remotely close the style(s) of metal that I find myself listening to with any regularity.

OK, ladies and gentlemen. It is again time for another CD review. This one is even timely. It was just released a week ago. So unless you are more on top of the CD buying game than me, you most likely do not own a copy of this release yet.
You may have guessed by the title or the image, but this one is from none other than Maryland’s own Dying Fetus. Their new release War of Attrition on Relapse Records is sure to please fans of this band.
They stay true to their original sound. I have to commend them for this, as there is only one original member still present, John Gallagher. He was the drummer on their first demo release Bathe in Entrails but he switched to guitar for the second Infatuation with Malevolence and has been the driving force behind this band for, wow, 14 plus years now.
Q: Where is Fuck The Facts from?
A: We’re based in Ottawa, Canada, but most of us live on the Quebec side in Gatineau.
Q: How long has Fuck The Facts been together?
A: The bands started in 2001, before that it was a solo recording project of mine.
Q: How many members are in Fuck The Facts? Names? Instruments?
A: Currently we’re a 5-piece. Mel on vocals, Vil on drums, Steve on bass/backing vocals, Jean and myself on guitars.
Q: What is the age range of the band members?
A: 21-30.
Q: What (if any) is the message behind Fuck The Facts’s lyrics?
A: Mel is the main person behind the lyrics, but I give some input and suggestions. English isn’t her first language, so I try and make sure everything she writes gets across properly. We cover a lot of different topics, but it all revolves around stuff that affects us and we see in our every day lives. Lots of personal experiences go into the lyrics. Everything in this band is influenced by what we do on a daily basis; there’s no image we’re trying to get across and message that we’re trying send. But I still think many people can relate to what we write.

Here is a new release from Canadian metal band Fuck The Facts, released by Relapse records entitled Stigmata High Five.
This marks F.T.F.’s journey from obscure underground metal to a new high. The Relapse high!
I guess I am just not into grind metal as much as I used to be, or maybe it is changing from what it was at one time. I have mentioned before that going back a few years this CD would have been right up my alley but these days not as much, but I still like it. 
Fuck The Facts is a cross between grind, death and hardcore, with sound effects mixed in (static, feedback voices, phone sounds, wind chimes and more…) there are also some slow keyboardy parts as well.
It has definite similarities with Dying Fetus, Misery Index and bands such as those, plus a discordant mathcore influence.

Okay, I am back! It has been awhile since anything has been posted around here, but hey, it’s been awhile since I bought any CD’s.
No, really I have just been real busy as of late, work, life and all that good stuff that slows down the fun I have around here. 
Anyway on with a review as I doubt many of you care what my life is like. 
This time around it is Misery Index.
They released a new CD via Relapse Records a few months ago entitled Discordia. As usual I am late with my review, but as they say better late than never.
Even though this band has been around for awhile and have released a few CD’s I have not had the pleasure of listening to them as much as other bands.
