Top Music Stuff 2015

Jumping on the list bandwagon... new and old releases/bands/stuff I enjoyed the most in 2015....

ACTIVE STENOSIS [https://activestenosis.bandcamp.com]
The premium flying-guts sloshing drum-machine goregrind! This bloke can do no wrong!

MEATAL ULCER [https://meatalulcer.bandcamp.com]
Australia's (maybe the World's?) most outrageous chundering gore vocals and most intense goregrind! A whirlwind of gross.

+ A SYMPHONY OF DEATH RATTLES compilation tape [http://www.discogs.com/Various-A-Symphony-Of-Death-Rattles/release/6766719]
Excellent first label release from my favourite Frenchman, Pierre of BLUE HOLOCAUST & BRAINDEAD zine. A disgusting collection of some of the best goregrind bands of the last few years.

+ ECOSTENCH - "Discography 1995-1997" [https://mortvillenoise.bandcamp.com/album/discography-1995-1997]
"Hidden gem" of the year! Raw grind with elements of humour and experimental touches which are actually really good!

+ ASBESTOSISIS - "Blocked Up From Barbeque" [https://asbestosisis.bandcamp.com]
Melbourne Morticianwave cavernous sewer goregrind spew!

+ G.O.D. - "Body Horror" [https://blastasfuk.bandcamp.com/album/body-horror]
Top-shelf gory grindcore from Canada, and "Most Pwanging Snare" 2015!

+ CAPTAIN CLEANOFF - "Rising Terror" [https://blastasfuk.bandcamp.com/album/rising-terror]
Australia's catchiest grindcore band get more riffs stuck in heads.

+ AVIAN TERROR [https://avianterror.bandcamp.com]
My new favourite band from Sydney... Raw and wild pure grindcore!

+ MACHETAZO covering a MORTICIAN song on their split with R.A.S. [https://youtu.be/iHd1LaViVUI]
Best MACHETAZO song since the "Trono de Huesos" album!

+ TERMINATOR 666 - "Demo 2011" [https://terminator666.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2011]
Best/Worst Music & Band Name of 2015. The most delightfully sloppy shitty shit I've heard since early PLASMA!

+ TECHNICAL ITCH - "Souls of Impatience" studio mix [http://techitch.com]
Recent mix from the master of dark, brooding drum & bass. Precision sound art with a beat!

+ EATBRAIN podcast [https://soundcloud.com/eatbrain/sets/podcasts]
Cutting-edge neuro/tech drum & bass mixes. Incredibly intricate sound design - some of the juiciest textures I've ever heard!

+ BARCODE FILTHCAST [https://soundcloud.com/filthcastpodcast]
Heavy/tech/hard drum & bass mixes from the more extreme end of things.

+ ROT - "Fatality" EP
Because I haven't heard their new one yet, and really, this stupendous EP from 1996 should always be in every list... forever!
