elephantknuckle - Zombie!!! Dance Party!  A Cyber Grind Zombie Rock Opera
http://www.archive.org/details/Tfr03-Elephantknuckle-ZombieDanceParty

Elephantknuckle…is like when alcohol hit your frontal lobes(of your brain) and the buffer to your mouth is gone. Brutal, harsh, chaotic even fun and meant for you. Yes you!

Ek is well known for the expression of truth by a somewhat borderline personality disordered individual, I think ek is fucking NUTS (haha lets hope ek doesn’t read this) and lacks empathy. The result of this craziness is meticulous strategy that produces music of incredible quality and the inky lyrics that serves up a complex expression and mockery of today’s social issues suited for everyday enjoyment…just a leisurely, pleasurable experience that includes enormous amount of fun and satire.

Ek was my first experience to the underground world and 3 years later, and my #1 love I can’t explain why I love this shit so much, but I do. The chaotic ek from the beginning to now is like a fine wine (well maybe more like a low-end fortified wine like Cisco or MadDog…haha) gets better with age.

Sadly Bubbles McGee was killed…I hope she was able to find her baby’s daddy…again I ramble off topic.

My favorite tracks on this album are Fat Chicks and El Caminos and Make Mass Murder Fun Again (Extended Zombie Remix).

So crack open the beer or Cisco and drink up my friends…Enjoy!!!

Hedon Cries - The End Of The Path Is Nigh...
http://www.archive.org/details/TFR308-HedonCries-TheEndOfThePathIsNigh

TFR just released Hedon Cries - The End of the Path Is Nigh and I was reading an article on Bile Duct Obstructions (I know how to have a fun on a Saturday night)…haha and well I stop reading to listen.

Thick, smooth, harmonious, exquisite, and I love it!!!

I have been looking for an album like this for a while. I was drawn to the sorrow and pain of this album and it has to be one of my newest favorites. I couldn't get enough. Intimate and I found it to be quite impressive creating a lasting impression, even playing with my own emotions from past memories.

Lyrics are beautiful growling tones of rage, hurt, the music is also perfectly balanced. Heavy guitar and bass riffs delivers a whole new experience of pleasure and adventure in melodic death metal. A tightly-wound album with power and finesse, its intricate structure is extraordinarily balanced, while amazingly rich and builds in intensity.

Simply amazing!

Favorite tracks on this album Never Again and I Hate You

(I suggest printing the lyrics). The pictures by Ana Koren were just beautiful.

Enjoy!!!

Darkside of Innocence - Infernum Liberus EST

http://www.archive.org/details/TFR273-DarksideOfInnocence-InfernumLiberusEST

One day a random message came to me from a stranger “check this out tell me what you think” it said. They sent me “Angel of Sin” I replied back, Please send me more!!!!

I have been a fan ever since and I was happy to see them release their album on Torn Flesh Records.

The vocals are amazing the music and lyrics are brilliantly done. Love that tracks are long…a blend of ambient to avant garde music that is aggressive, romantic with a razor sharp edge, artistic and so very complex.

Perfect for a stormy rainy night lots of candles and a bottle of Pinot noir. Enjoy!!!

LIL & MOONROOM - BAD SCENE

http://www.archive.org/details/TFR259-LilAndMoonroom-BadScene

What makes LIL & MOONROOM unique? Or should I say why I love them so much…what I take away from listening to this album is that every idea that they present makes the listener's experience as exhilarating as possible. I don’t think it’s meant to be complex. It quite simple, romantic even, but by complex, what I mean, is that it’s an experience, a force, that compels you to return to take another listen.

To fully understand complexity in this album, you need to try a range of different types of ambient/noise albums. It takes an artist that thinks outside the lines to create something that would leave me at a loss for words, all the components work well and complement each other. I think this album is overlooked. It is stunning and has a real elegance and poise.

You will never go wrong with this album’s storytelling, humor, samples, truth, sadness…it’s all there.

and….Who is this Jeremy “scary motherfucker” they speak about…again I drift off topic “Space Cadet” mode…haha.

Well I hope you enjoy this album as much as I do.

My favorite tracks...yikes!!! that’s a hard one, I like them all…I’m going to say “Clowns” and “Pertetito”

Enjoy!!!

James Doesn't Exist - Don't Be A Menace
http://www.archive.org/details/TFR302-JamesDoesntExist-DontBeAMenace

Others may use the mathcore style ... but don't be fooled….James Doesn't Exist…does it like no other. There are no words to describe exactly its nature but that it reflects the strong characteristic of unusual time signatures, speed and guitar riffs and Nikolai Gawin’s passion for the extraordinary style.

James Doesn't Exist - Don't Be A Menace tells the tale of the quality evolution both in music and lyrics, vocals reflect a sincere, honest personality in a powerful style, direct but quite seductive.

Makes me wonder about this enclosed space in Illinois where this talented person sat creating such a complex experience…but I digress.  

I suggest playing this many times so, you will hear the complexity and appreciate all its elements. There’s a lot packed into these short powerful tracks.

My favorite tracks on this album are Chodzen and Abject Enmity.

Enjoy!!!

GoreSkinCoffin - Corpse Filled Caskets
http://www.archive.org/details/TFR301-GoreSkinCoffin-CorpseFilledCaskets

Wow!!! I had no idea what I was in for when Eric of Blasphemation suggested that I check out GoreSkinCoffin, just released on Torn Flesh Records.

Amazing!!! GoreSkinCoffin delivers a very dense and powerful, concentration of death metal vocals and guttural roars that are unbelievable, the tracks are structured beautifully, at times sensuous and seductive but with a sinful power all the way through.

This album’s long and heavy tracks are dense making it unmistakably a fucking awesome death, grind, melodic, brutal metal. Many others bands will simply look dull in comparison, but I feel that GoreSkinCoffin - Corpse Filled Caskets will be enjoyed by even the most picky melodeath fanatic.

My favorites tracks on this album are Ink in the Flesh, Dominion and The Coffin.

Enjoy!!!

After months of nagging Gore Obsessed for a new album (yes, I can be annoying that way…haha)

Justin has delivered another amazing album. Gore Obsessed is strong out of the gate with absurdly entertaining samples followed by some deep growling vocals, a wide range of accelerated drum beats, intense bass and guitar work that continues through the whole album. These tracks are done just right with the consistent quality that we the fans can count on from Gore Obsessed.

My favorite tracks on this album are Meet Rocky de Sade (The Sexual Deviant) and I'm a Necrophile

This album is a perfect addition to any play list for your daily grind whether running on the treadmill, driving to a funeral or just plain lounging around.

Enjoy!!!

New elephantknuckle Best of (Worst of) coming soon???

Who is better at presenting in your face brutal facts…than the master himself elephantknuckle.

As can only be said by ek

“Really?!?!? The handicap sticker on ur truck is because ur FAT? Not disabled, not an amputee. Not horribly disfigured in a freak accident using tanning lotion and a blow torch? Just FAT?  …stay tuned u sick bastards.

Can’t wait to hear this, as ek #1 fan since 2008…when he debuted the album Government Cheese and Powdered Milk Make Mass Murder Fun Again.

Of course this is going to be the perfect album for the holiday season as we stuff our faces and get FAT!!!

http://www.archive.org/details/TFR300-VA-TornFleshRecordsPresents300SINS

Do you not know? Have you not heard? God then commanded the eviscerated angels to bow down as Torn Flesh Records Presents 300 SINS. For those not present it was unlike any other album released by Torn Flesh Records.

TFR's 300 Sins, was a like a disease, that has been passed on from generation to generation. Sins, motivating and internalized by the fans (by the masses), was sent across genres and nationalities by multiple posts and downloads. And as quoted by TFR, “Thanks to all the TFR supporters, fans, bands, radio stations, artists, and bloggers, who without, none of this would come to pass.”

This album with 51 tracks, over 2 hours long, is a majestic ceremonious experience. Delivering with it powerful, brutal, and impressive vocals, fast tempo noise, aggressive, fast, percussive, fucking amazing distorted bass tones and riffs, and those hot guitar players shredding it up on these tracks. Let us not forget those sexy drummers with their relentless, driving beats. And let’s hear it for ek and that harmonica that he shreds like no other, DAMN!!!  

MasterToad-LucidDreamerNightmareProgression5

http://www.archive.org/details/TFR262-MasterToad-LucidDreamerNightmareProgression5

I truly loved this album…Take a journey into this trance inducing dream as you unselfishly synchronize your brainwaves to the music. Master Toad creates a path to withdraw your mind from the external world and release it from the bondage of one's own self and experience. With this, it allows you the freedom to travel through to the intense Lost Hallway then fall down into the Corridor of Decay. Once there be prepared to embark into the Garden of Nightmares and end at your final destination surrounded by Abysmal Noise.
It is recommended that you use headphones to hear the complexity of this masterpiece. Enjoy!

Bukowski Family - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! - Double EP

http://www.archive.org/details/TFR185-BukowskiFamily-YouHaveBeenWarned-DoubleEP
What can I say about Bukowski Family, but that I feel like a dirty fuck for loving them and admitting that I like this fucking filth so much! Necrophagia Princess ME??? Hmmm…perhaps in my future.
If you can handle it, start with Kneecaps and Onions, it is brutal and my favorite. Enjoy!!!

Impact - MadMans EP

http://www.archive.org/details/TFR292-Impact-MadMansEP

If fast thrash and heavy metal is what you are looking for, Impact will be sure to please. This bands member are fucking amazing Smash on bass, Fist delivers killer vocals, Ram on drums and Raptor on guitar.

I have been a fan of Impact since I found them on TFR.

As a side note for the ladies they are super sexy in the eye candy department too.

I recommend to start with “Destroyer of the Good”…play it loud and Enjoy!!!

Deep Coma - Despair As You Stare

http://www.archive.org/details/TFR286-DeepComa-DespairAsYouStare

Come experience your own psychotic disorder, Despair As You Stare, is very a mystical journey where poetic relationships and metaphorical associations dictate the truth.

Deep Coma delivers the dark complex critical tone, pitch, rhythm, of intensity to romanticize and fuck with you, also silently laughing as it affects your brain's thoughts and belief systems.

Enjoy what can be a mystical or even a religious experience. No Risperdal needed. Enjoy!!!

BLOODINGTON - THE ONLY GOOD MOTHER...IS A FUCKED ONE

http://www.archive.org/details/TFR297-BLOODINGTON-TheOnlyGoodMother...IsAFuckedOne

I can’t get enough of this album…it is fast, hard-edged music… makes me want to dance and thrash around perhaps even a stage dive, well if I had a stage… killer vocals by Bull-Shield and Flabbie-Arms kills it on the Bass and Tattooed Freak fucking amazing guitar riffs and well sexy Vic Prick on drums what else can I say.

I discovered Bloodington one day as Torn Flesh Records released BLOODINGTON - THE SHIELD! A FORCE TO BE RECTUMED WITH! Song…Frightened by the Honey monster I’ve been a fan ever since.

I recommend playing this LOUD and fucking dancing…Start with “SHEEP” so fucking awesome...Have fun!!!
