Goner – Pain God (2021)

January 31, 2025

A mixed bag of material spanning the entire world of Goner grind. Usually, I’ve noticed after many years of listening to comps like this, unless going chronologically they seem to start off with the strong stuff at the beginning and the quality lessens as the disc goes on. Not here. This is all over the place; solid studio shit is shuffled in with all sorts of hideous live / rehearsal room recordings, giving the whole thing a disjointed and unpleasant feeling. Thankfully, even through the Russian roulette production, you can really tell that Goner grind like the fuckin’ best of ‘em.
