2 mins read

Fresh off the crushing new release of “Trebuchet Showroom”, the newest album from Lyon, France bansed band CIVILIAN THROWER (members of Whoresnation, Hordur, Lovgun, Matrak Attakk, RAN…) join us for a list of their top grinding releases of the year!

The band will be touring Spain and Portugal in support of the new release later this month and in January on a 17 gigs tour. Check out the full itinerary below. “Trebuchet Showroom” is out now on CD and tape via Lixiviat Records, Repulsive Medias & Zillion of Meat Records.

Born in 2020 during a painful quarantine, Civilian Thrower is a grindcore gang featuring members from Lyon, Grenoble and Paris. CxT is a tribute to old school grindcore and seeks influence in bands like EXCRUCIATING TERROR or WARSORE.

Bodyrot : Fleshworks (Carbonized, Grindfather)

Raw grind from Victoria CA, 1st release, really looking forward what’s coming next!

Deterioration – Retaliatory Measures (Shattered Dreams)

34th releases in 13 years & still relevant in the neverending dank blastbeats & delicious high pitched voices.

Grotesquerie – Composted Beyond Recognition (Repulsive Medias)

1st full lenght of our swiss buddies. Pot-themed brutal deathgrind, less gory than the previous splits but way more greasy.

Internal Rot – Hack Sessions (Psychocontrol, Blastasfuk, Grindfather)

No new songs, recorded live in a studio 11 years ago, released on cd 3 years ago but always important to mention Internal Rot whatever it costs (and lp was out in 22)!

Massgrav – Slowly We Rock (Lixiviat, Selfmadegod)

Fastcore Swedish rockers back at it, always fast always good!

Morgue Breath : Expectoraciones Exequiales Desde Las Profundidades Fantamiasmáticas (Headsplit)

4 track tape recorder in 2022? Yes! Ugly horror themed grindcore, paying tributes to the gory 90s.

Morbid Angel Dust – Demo + Retaliation EP (Calvos 73)

Raw old school grindcore from Slovakia, crude blast, we need more band like this.

Ona snop s/t 7″ (Nerve Altar, Coxinha)

Fastpunk genius from the mighty punk scene from Leeds, UK. Always awesome for dancing especially live, no chance you get bored of it!

Pulmonary Fibrosis – Pulmonologists (Obliteration, Larvae)

French goregrind masters’ new album, gore at its best.

Triac – Pure Joy – Numb Grief-Stricken Animals (RSR)

Grindcore superband from Baltimore really aggressive with many cool riffs!

Thieves – Therapy Session (autoprod.)

LA Grindcore. Seems that Excruciating Terror got robbed by good Thieves.

Shitbrains / Controlled Existence – Split Ep (Psychocontrol)

If you love your grind with a pinch of powerviolence go for it, LA versus Praha, play fast or don’t.

Shitgrinder – s/t (RSR, Headsplit)

Another « shit-something » band. Finest Raw Grindcore like Aussies grindheads can do.

State Terror – No Present No Future (Humanicide, Repulsive Medias)

You miss Denak? Here you go. Spanish old school (means politically on purpose & musically primitive) grind as fuck.

SxFxC – Humanatrocity (autoprod.)

All the good grind bands hopefully don’t only came from Europe & North America. Those peruvians know how to blasts

UNDERGROUND MANIACS – NOT ON THE INTERNET but here is their bandcamp with other releases.

Trucidio – Demo 2022 (autoprod.)
Insect Warfare type of shit, Fajardo on drums, awesome.

Whoresnation – Dearth (Lixiviat, Carbonized, Bones Brigade)

A bit of self promo, grindcore/death metal, fRance.
