Agoraphobic Nosebleed – Agorapocalypse (2009)

October 29, 2023

Agorapocalypse sometimes seems to get it in the neck for not being quite like the stuff that came before it (that being, of course, absurdly fast bursts of micro-grind). All the pieces are still here though; the savage riffs, the ridiculous drum programming, and the multi-throated triple vocal attack. It’s just, the songs are longer than a usual average of about 24 seconds, and the influences span the metal world, rather than just the ABCs of grindcore:

“Agoraphobos / One-dimensional hatross / Alesis Time Machine / Seventh bastard son of the seventh bastard son
/ With deicidal tendencies”

The final three tracks on this thing are near perfect aural destruction, but the whole album is well worth your time. At under half-hour its a fast-paced thrashy attack of insane lyrics and insane music.

YOU WANNA TALK TO ME ABOUT PIG DESTROYER!? WELL I SMOKED CRACK WITH A FUCKING COP!
