REVIEW-S/T by Magrudergrind

More heavy shit for your ear holes, coming in loud and aggressive Magrudergrind's self titled is a gem that I was late to the party finding. Because I was so late to this, I'm doing a review of it and kicking myself for not listening to this sooner. Magrudergrind is a grindcore/powerviolence band from our nation's capital, Washington DC. An international act, the band has toured Europe and North America and parts of Asia, with the likes of Misery Index and Despise You.
 But on to the record itself, it's a hammer right to the fucking face of pure, unadulterated powerviolence and grindcore. The entire record is a cacophony of noise, harsh and crunchy riffs, blast beats and some gnarly vocals. Instrumentally this record isn't anything inherently special, but that isn't a bad thing in the case of this genre, or set of genres. The guitar tone is phenomenal, with my favorite tone/riff combo being on the track Bridge Burner. Interestingly, this band has no bass whatsoever, which normally I'd find annoying but it makes this band unique. Vocally, Avi Kulawy brings some harsh, high pitched and even agonized vocals to Magrudergrind's self titled release. The vocals are very reminiscent of some Insect Warfare tracks as well as the band ACxDC.
 Overall, this release from Magrudergrind is a great one, even if I found it late, and it earns itself a solid 8/10
