I�ve never heard of Thousandswilldie before, but the name alone gives me good vibes. But after just a few minutes (which actually means 6-7 tracks) I can tell you this is not for the stubborn and weak-minded individual that has difficulty to accept progression. Each and every song is jam-packed with intensity, wicked screaming and brutal blasting. The insanity is absolutely pouring from every crack, and the intensity is so extreme you�ll think they�ve hit the brown note. Agoraphobic Nosebleed is an act that instantly comes to mind, with the addition of some Aussie acts like The Kill, Captain Cleanoff etc. With the majority of songs being 20-30 seconds long you�ll find yourself in a grindcore whirlwind, getting the shit kicked out of you by the crowd of punks and metalheads moshing like crazy. And this is a band I imagine should be experienced live, �cause with the intensity and ferocity the present here it would be cause for a magnificent moshpit. With the exception of the three ambient tracks (cleverly named I, II and III, with II being the most annoying one) Thousandswilldie offers a powerful onslaught of hardcore-ish grindcore flirting with metal.
The word �progression� is certain to pop up once again as it�s time for the Italian lads Psychofagist to take over the stereo and offer us their variant of grindcore. And here the tunes take on an entirely different approach, with three tracks clocking in at ten minutes (versa Thousandswilldie�s sixteen tracks clocking in at nine minutes), and a much more experimental touch. Imagine the most out-there parts of Cephalic Carnage, then add the early sound of The Dillinger Escape Plan and the hardcore of Converge, and you have a pretty good idea of what Psychofagist sound like. Eventhough I loved their self-titled 2004 album I have a hard time digesting this; this is too experimental for me. There are hardly ten seconds that goes by without a tempo change. That would be fine and all, since the tracks are very intense, but when you add the saxophone it becomes just a wee bit too much. The vocals are really good, and adds a desperate edge to the otherwise just plain chaotic music. And if this all wasn�t progressive enough they end with a track filled with even more weirdness, and even clean vocals. Too much for me, but if the description sounds interesting my advice is that you to check it out, �cause it�s definitely intense and insane�
