Calvaiire - Forceps (2013)

Coming to you from the nation of France, a place that has already given us raw fury and abrasive power in the form of a slew of great hardcore and screamo bands, is the four-piece mathcore band Calvaiire. Purity and authenticity are the name of the game when it comes to this album, as seen through the French song titles and lyrics, solemn album art, and unrelenting frenzy of energetic and heavy music. Every track is filled with this energy as it spills over into the next, until this short but strong release has left an impact that leaves you wanting more of the creative riffing, furious drumming, and unpolished vocals this fresh young band has to offer. Highly recommended for any fans of hardcore, crust, screamo, or mathcore.

Bone Awl - Meaningless Leaning Mess (2007)

Bone Awl bring to the table a complete disregard for human life and musical soundstages. With elements of both black metal and grindcore, Meaningless Leaning Mess is a 38 minute album composed of 18 pissed-off tracks, each as unrelenting as the next. Simply by listening to and downloading this album, you can gain some fantastic, lo-fi, blackened grind along with some extra obscurity points on the side. Is that the cymbal being hit or is that just fuzz from the lo-fi production? Well, that's for you to find out.

Abraxis - Abraxis (2009)

Abraxis' self-titled record (pictured above, limited gold vinyl pressing, 50 pressed) is a potent mix of hardcore and metallic, doomy elements. Not a full-fledged sludge release, despite the addition of doom qualities. It features well-paced, thick riffs, staccato solos and fiery vocals. Coupled with elements of folk, noise and drone, Abraxis is recommended for fans of Fall of Efrafa and Momentum, and hell, even Swans for the spoken word passages.
