Texas Grindcore Obliteration album release w/ Trucido, Imminent End, Deprivation, SWISS [inside]

Given wasp and hornet season, Doom Records swarms Mohawk at exactly the right moment. The Austin-area imprint unveils compilation Texas Grindcore Obliteration at this all-ages, 3pm matinee. If extreme metal’s lobotomizing spasm of Cuisinart beats, fusillade riffs, and micro run times remains staunchly underground, here’s a prime opportunity to bone up on rising Lone Star purveyors. Dallas grindcore foursome Trucido unleashes protean frontman Alejandro Ramirez, who traffics in infrasound, the lowest tones audible in our earholes, while ATX combo Imminent End sounds like the Great War gone grindcore, as if Bolt Thrower and Sabaton threw over trad metal for Doom Records. Locals in power violence crew Swiss and Deprivation pile on too. – Raoul Hernandez
