Corrupt Moral Altar - Whiskey Sierra

Please excuse the shitty cover scan!

 

Holy shit, Corrupt Moral Altar are heavy! Like, proper heavy! I love the mix of styles going on here; one minute I'm getting doomy vibes, the next it's all about the crazy flat-out grind type of shit! Wrap all that into a modern "dark hardcore" ball (think Black Breath, Nails and all the recent shit Southern Lord has been peddling) and you've got one hell of a 7". Neither side is better than the other; you've just got unstoppable raw power melting your face off from start to finish. I can get behind that.

 

Considering this bastard spins at 45 it really does last quite a while, and with no deterioration in quality or volume. The vinyl weight is as almost as heavy as the tunes, and the packaging is really high quality stuff, which is a bit refreshing as I have a sea of flimsy grind splits with xeroxed covers. It even comes with a fuckton of Dead Chemists stickers and a nifty little poster, so super awesome thanks to Mike Dead Chemists for sending me this little EP, I love it! Well impressed. Gonna be on the look out for Corrupt Moral Altar on the UK live circuit; I'm bound to come across a performance of theirs at some point, and I look forward to it greatly.

Necklacing - I

Wow! This is short and sweet but it sure does the trick of hitting the ol' grindcore spot. Could I shorten that to G-spot without sounding gay? Ha ha. Necklacing's pro-pressed tape release of I is a powerviolency grind smash up available in three lovely colors. I have the transparent red version. Don't take my word for how awesome this is, listen to it for free and then buy it because it's wicked awesome and cheap as chips. This seems to be released by the band themselves although I got my copy from Dead Chemists' distro stock.
