I know it's been quite some time since my last post, but I wanted to keep you posted on my recent endeavors with <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Mathcore-Index-200999373328002/">Mathcore Index</a></b>. We have been hard at work putting together various <b><a href="https://mathcoreindex.bandcamp.com/">compilations</a></b> and <b><a href="https://soundcloud.com/mathcoreindex">podcasts</a> </b>filled with sick underground bands, and I thought I might share them here in light of the fact THIS BLOG BROKE 100,000 HITS, which is fucking rad.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">As I'm sure you've no doubt observed, </span></span><b style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">this blog is dead</b><span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">. I want to thank any of you who gave a shit and actually read my nonsensical ramblings during the past 5 odd years. My plan is to leave the blog up as an archive of sorts, to document a very specific and curious sub-genre of music. I will also continue to post under the moniker of </span></span><span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Mathcore-Index-200999373328002/">Mathcore Index</a></b>, which is quickly becoming more than a simple promotional fan page.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Every once in a while, a band comes a long that really embodies the spirit of underground tech-grind. Right now, one of the best bands bringing back this mid 2000's tech-grind nostalgia for me is </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Oblivionized">Oblivionized</a></b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">. Given their sound, the band could honestly have been on the legendary </span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="http://www.discogs.com/label/211034-Debello-Recordings" style="font-weight: bold;">Debello</a> roster, and </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/daughtersmusic">Daughters</a></b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">, </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheRealPigDestroyer">Pig Destroyer</a></b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">, and </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/DiscordanceAxis">Discordance Axis</a></b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> are among their influences, so the result is a blend of mathcore and grindcore that is very pleasing. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Clocking in just short of 8 minutes, this EP is a whirlwind of tech and grind </span><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">reminiscent</span><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> of early <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/daughtersmusic">Daughters</a></b> and <b><a href="https://myspace.com/thesawtoothgrin">The Sawtooth Grin</a></b>, with elements of hardcore similar to <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/converge">Converge</a></b>. However, that description doesn't begin to cover it. This band has such a delightful and eclectic blend of influences, it's hard to tire of "All the Men I Love Are Dead," and you'll soon find it on repeat. Super tight percussion, razor sharp guitars, and the disturbing and visceral prose poetry of vocalist Olivia Henry make this a powerful debut.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: black;">December releases sometimes run the risk of being missed completely, but this cannot be ignored. "Expect Nothing" first punishes you with dissonant sludge riffs before a brief accelerando, which gives way to all out chaos. <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thefalls.band">thefalls</a></b> have got themselves one helluva debut with "Break the Calm," which clocks in @ nearly an hour. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">So back in 2011 this band, <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/insidethebeehive">Inside the Beehive</a></b>, came along and basically had me smitten with their Sawtoothesque (TM) sound. This year, <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/casinostl">Casino</a></b> has come along and done very much the same. I really love this band (as well as <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Triumphovershipwreck">Triumph Over Shipwreck</a></b>) for bringing back that OG mathcore and techgrind sound of the last decade. The band has the insanely high vox, crushing grooves, and head spinning rhythms that are characteristic of the genre. Oh, and movie inserts.</span></span></div>

One of the best written albums I've heard in a while, with such a broad array of sounds and brimming with content, as the album clocks in at nearly an hour. This band has successfully picked up where <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/converge">Converge</a></b> left off, while taking along newer influences, like <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/GAZAMUSIC">Gaza</a></b>/<b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CultLeaderMusic">Cult Leader</a></b> (with whom they recently toured).

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">So last night I ventured out to </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/SUBMission/115751674629">SUB/Mission</a></b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> to see </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/deathwishinc">Deathwish Inc</a></b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> heavyweights, </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CultLeaderMusic">Cult Leader</a></b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> and </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/theoathbreakerreigns">Oathbreaker</a></b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">, and ended up discovering this great band from the OC. Although the aforementioned touring package's performance was obviously flawless, </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SEIZURESCA">Seizures</a></b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> really seemed to steal the show. I was tempted to immediately compare them to </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/converge">Converge</a></b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> and </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/GAZAMUSIC">Gaza</a></b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> (who's latter incarnation shared the stage with them that night), but as their set progressed it became clear they also had their own distinct voice, with thoughtful compositions that both pay homage to their influences yet still strike out in new and interesting directions. Truly next-generation mathcore, and fans of any seminal metalcore / mathcore bands in the vein of <b><a href="https://myspace.com/botch">Botch</a></b> etc should really give these dudes a listen, as they're efforts seem to be criminally under appreciated.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">John Adam is a living American composer, and this is probably one of his finest works. The piece is mostly pleasant up until about 5:14 when the sirens, muttering triads of wordless syllables, begin their song. Perhaps not the best recording, but it'll do. So light up a doob, and enjoy some contemporary American minimalism.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Northern California has enjoyed a fairly rich metal and hardcore scene in recent years, with an especially large number of bands emerging in the early 2000's. As those bands dissolved, many of their former members inevitably formed other various projects, and if I wasn't so lazy I would've made some tree chart illustrating this, but the point is these bands have very few degrees of separation. So, I'll just try to elaborate in the least painful way possible: </span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Yesterday this blog turned 3 years old. For my first post, I chose to share <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/galagathemovie">Galaga: The Movie</a></b>, one of my favorite bands and good friends of mine. So years later, it seems more than appropriate to share their new album on it's day of release. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Behold, 2 of the greatest fuck-ups who've ever lived. Their insane stage antics and violent freak-outs have frightened most every audience they've ever played for, and they're probably banned from every single venue in the Humboldt and Solano County areas. Their music, which sways from grind to surfish riffs and back to grind, also has a certain whimsy to it:</span></span></div>
