Emerging from the wretched mid-Atlantic hive of scum and villainy known as Richmond, Virginia, mathcore stalwarts Black Matter Device have been carving a destructive swath over the musical landscape for the past several years. Combining the stark anti-melodies of bands like Psyopus and the Dillinger Escape Plan but with a polished modern edge and a grindcore mentality (short songs), Black Matter Device proudly bring the genre of mathcore back from the brink of obscurity and into the current spotlight with a string of abrasive albums, most recently Autonomous Weapons, released this past April.

Portland death crust abominations Autophagy emerge from the dawn of an endless plague with their viciously good debut LP, Bacteriophage.

The sounds of the animal kingdom are loud enough, fast enough for Italian grinders Ape Unit.

Decibel has procured our own special edition of Worm‘s Bluenothing from the muck, limited to a mere 97 copies on “Swamp Green & Blue Ooze” merged color vinyl!
