CLOUD RAT - CLOUD RAT LP

It's been a dog's age since I posted to this blip caught up in 'the wave' that all you internet surfers are currently riding, maybe I will start posting more, who knows. Nothing has caught my eye in a while, but this was a must. I got added to a show last minute yesterday and ended up opening for these Mount Pleasant, Michigan bangers.

Cloud Rat is a three piece comprising of vocals, guitar and drums. I dont really have anything else to say other than they bring energy and fun to the show, but wow this band is heavy as fuck. Melodic riffs, grinding blast beats, atmospheric doom...this band keeps it really fucking interesting. Dont sleep on this shit!

Napalm Death - Hatred Surge

"Hatred Surge" is the 5th demo released from Birmingham, Englands Napalm Death.  After this release in 1985, Napalm Death focused on creating a more extreme sound that would change the dynamic of the band and the sound of metal at the time.  This recording is unforgiving to the ears, a sonic assault from squealing guitar feedback and riffs to primal, monstrous barks echoing for what seems to be eternity!  This recording would be my soundtrack to the apocalypse, taking the listener on a one way ticket to the underworld...and Justin Broadrick, what else do you need?

Spider's Last Moment (Indonesia)

This is a special post for my friend Wiman Rizkidarajat, who currently sings across the sea in Yogyakarta, Indonesia band, Spider's Last Moment.  Yogyakarta has a huge arts scene and caters to the city one of the nations most prestigious universities. This is apparent when listening to these two mp3's as each member of SLM display's excellent musicianship!  From blistering blast beats to straight forward riffage that carries into post rock and mathy breakdowns, this band definitely keeps it's options open.  Fans of Between the Buried and Me will find lots of interest in this!  Definitely interested to see what Spider's Last Moment has in store for 2011...until then lets hope for something soon!
