The Body - I've Seen All I Need to See

Somehow, The Body stripping back their instrumental palette has led to arguably their most texturally compelling and high-impact record yet.

Pharmakon - "No Natural Order"

Pharmakon's latest single, "No Natural Order," features what might just be her heaviest industrial noise composition and most piercing vocal performance to date. The track closes her third Sacred Bones album Contact, which drops March 31.

Street Sects - End Position

HOLY SHIT! THIS SHIT IS THE SHIT!

Street Sects - "Featherweight Hate"

Another strong single from Street Sects' upcoming record End Position, out September 16 via The Flenser.

Street Sects - "And I Grew into Ribbons"

The intense lead single and opening track from End Position, the debut album by sample-heavy extreme music duo Street Sects, out September 16 via The Flenser.

Prurient - Frozen Niagara Falls

Prurient's new double album is a soul-crushing carnival of blissful, tundra-temperature misery.

Pharmakon - Bestial Burden

Pharmakon's latest album features a harsh, noisy aesthetic, but that's about all it's got.

Consent- Conception

I suppose the Chicago band Consent left the cover art to its debut release white and empty--blank, essentially--because there's not much in the way of visuals that could add to what the music is doing.

The band plays an ultra-abrasive brand of powerviolence. Yeah, it's called "powerviolence." How could a band possibly add to the aggression and abrasion of frantic grindcore song structures and hardcore attitude. Well, the band compliments its songs with ear-piercing electronic noise. Sometimes, in the case of track four, the use or introduction of the noise is pretty lazy. However, most of the time, it's laced into these tracks pretty nicely.

Though the electronics are a nice touch, Consent's two lead singers are what essentially bring the charisma here. Their vocal deliveries are absolutely enraging, and get my blood boiling.

You can download Consents debut EP, Conception, via a band-endorsed MediaFire link right here. There's a stream above, too.
