saxon_now Best live show I have ever experienced. Witnessing all of these songs live was special. One of One. Recommend seeing them live and listening to this album. Chaotic Annihilation. Favorite track: The Running Board.

aurals What rounding off of the margins, trimming of the unnecessary, breaks the silence, barriered and hostile? Waiting, waiting, and waiting... I expect to forget this simple regret... Favorite track: Sugar Coated Sour.

Alexander Pugachev This album was the introduction to mathcore for me. Still holds the crown. Favorite track: Calculating Infinity.

chiefej THIS ALBUM IS SO FUCKING RAW AND KICKS ASS IT MAKES ME WANNA MERGE WITHOUT LOOKING Favorite track: Panasonic Youth.

Cidimon Arustavi I like the sexy parts the best.

honeycombguy This album blows Calculating Infinity out of the water on almost every front, and that is NOT easy to do. Greg not only filled the shoes Mike Patton and Dimitri had left, but he took the band's music to the next level by blending their two styles really well. Favorite track: Highway Robbery.

WhereWraithsDwell One of the most critically acclaimed Mastodon albums. The songwriting is strong and varied, with well-developed melodies and some country style guitars too, and besides those, Brann Dailor's hyperactive drumming accents every composition. This album is a definite modern classic packed with great riffs that combine sludge with the complexity of progressive metal and hardcore-like shouted vocals and an appropriately oppressive atmosphere for portraying the story of Moby Dick. Favorite track: Hearts Alive.

Mount_Mourn One ups the debut in ambition and forward thinking Favorite track: Blood and Thunder.

naasty Had the CD when it came out, lost that. then downloaded a really shitty rip from limewire or something and that's the only non-vinyl copy I've had for years. Yesterday my brother told me Brent died and it hit closer than I would have thought. This music had a huge impact on me when i was younger and I am finally getting a legitimate digital copy. What a ripper, a total classic! RIP Brent

Heather Blistering guitars and heavy, uncompromising rhythms. Perfect for driving and feeling like you're in Mad Max. Favorite track: Turk.

unclemartha This song is an absolute pummeling. It's a great distillation of how hard HoF can go, I've "turned" lots of people with it. Favorite track: Rumors of War.

Marcin Wielewski This album is a necklase of 11 diamonds. I love each on them. Matt Pike is guitar demon! Favorite track: Death is This Communion.

jadedcatalyst Dillinger is definitely not for everyone, but once they click in your head, it's over for you because you will now be *obsessed*

This is one of my fave albums of all time and the only Dillinger album I insist on always playing the full tracklist in a listening session Favorite track: Black Bubblegum.

aurals The hostility of the lyrics toward a whorish, devilish woman, or lacking in womanhood, a spectre in a dissonant aggression marked by jazz-oriented grindcore and mathematic presicion with a fluidity that moves like a river rapid, swallowing the listener up like a drowning victim, up and down, fast and slow, in uneven yet structured rises and falls the music, noisy and in somatic facelessness, this devil woman devours the soul, betraying death's illusion, an action without meaning... Favorite track: Nong Eye Gong.

finnbchechik I’ve heard of this group at my pizza job in 2011 didn’t even look until recently, black bubblegum is what got my attention. It reminded me of a terrible relationship I’ve had in the past. It’s good to find gem gingles that resonate with you. I like that this group has a history of breaking boundaries.🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻 Favorite track: Party Smasher.
