Catheter-Southwest Doom Violence
Published in Reviews
Grindcore is one of my favourite genres, I really love the speed and the intensity of Grind, in fact this is the genre that got me into learning blast beats, when I couldn’t reach my drums I used to sit down in front of the speakers put on some Wormrot and practise my blasts to that. I especially like the genre when the volume goes over 11 (anyone who has seen spinal tap will know what I am talking about) and things get a little heavier than usual. Catheter is exactly that kind of band!
Gorod-A Perfect Absolution
Published in Reviews
This French quintet probably gave us their best production till now, with their latest offering. Gorod, a Death Metal/Grindcore band, came up with some of the very best new Death Metal tracks in the year 2012, with their latest album to offering A Perfect Absolution. Their last two full length album Leading Vision and Process Of A New Decline also served us with some nice tracks, and nonetheless, they were very nicely crafted as well. The band draws shows heavy latin, bebop influences mixed with tremolo picking and double bass drumming. They draw heavy influences from bands like Death, Cynic, Martyr etc. Adding to that, the songwriting is catchy and meaningful as well!

Bangalore has always been a haven for Brutal Death Metal and Grindcore bands like PERFORATED LIMB and GORIFIED, and has been touted by many for having a very strong Underground Metal scene. Recently however there have been bands that seem to be more inclined towards the progressive side of things, which is what I will review today. When I found out that this is a one man Progressive Metal project, I was stunned and curious at the same time while having some very steep expectations. Did it live up to them? Let’s find out.
