Sometime ago I posted about Frontierer, an international two piece playing heavy and technical grooves in the vein of The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza and Ion Dissonance. Guitarist Pedram Valiani is also involved in another similar project, Sectioned, which plays a more slightly more eclectic blend of hardcore. The aforementioned grooves, however, are not entirely abandoned (see Prodigal Scum).
Sectioned's entire discography can be download free/name your price on Bandcamp.
Speaking of Destroyer Destroyer, 3/5ths of the band (vocalist Jamie Schnetzler, guitarist Corey Ray, and bassist Lucass McRay) have formed another project called Convert. Those of you expecting another Destroyer Destroyer might be disappointed, as the band has deviated from it's original techgrind/mathcore sound to something closer to traditional hardcore and grind. However, their sound is as furious as ever, and they've proven themselves to be versatile song-writers.
Some more radness from the UK, noisecore act The Divorcée just dropped their debut EP. This should definitely please those of you who enjoy heaviness and frantic screaming a la Destroyer Destroyer or spazzy art-grind freakouts (...and I'm assuming that's probably all of you), so strap on your straitjacket and commence convulsing.
Following the demise of Denver's Clinging to the Trees of a Forest Fire, deathgrind heavyweight Ethan McCarthy (also of Primitive Man), has formed another project, Vermin Womb. McCarthy's vocals are monstrous, and his guitar work is perfectly suited for the genre. The band lives up to the name, as their sound is truly filthy.
My friends in Galaga: The Movie have started a Kickstarter campaign with a modest goal of $1000 to cover touring costs. I've posted about them many times in the past, and they're two truly great human beings (see @ 1:45 of the clip) who have been putting out great music for the better part of the last decade. Please help them reach their goal so they can go on tour and play lots of shows.
Secret Cutter just dropped their eponymous full-length, and it's a real banger. Their style fluctuates between obnoxiously heavy sludge groves and some brief grind passages, which makes sense, as the band features member(s) of mathcore/techgrind act, Orphan Donor (which is a great name btw).
Favorite tracks: Mirror Mirror, Driftwood
The band's first EP also available for free via Bandcamp.
