+HIRS+

+HIRS+ play power violence. If you don't have any idea what that means, maybe you're reading the wrong blog. At any rate, these two Philly dudes have been releasing a ton of material over the last year and you can cop it all for free over at their bandcamp page.

In keeping with genre traditions, +HIRS+ music is a spazzy combination of grindcore and d-beat crust that coalesces into a hulking mass of putrid sound that will have you bobbing your head and cursing your god.  My favorite +HIRS+ release thus far is their Worship 7". With a total running time of just over 4 minutes, these 10 tracks crack like a whip. Imagine the best possible vomit noises, and you'll be somewhere close to +HIRS+ wheelhouse.

I can't recommend this enough. If you fancy yourself a fan of grind, crust, or even good old fashioned hardcore, you should get your shit together and spin some +HIRS+

Doctorshopper's "Pax Pharma" will probably kill you.

Doctorshopper are a noise/punk/black metal band from LA, who would like nothing more than to watch your ears bleed. Sharing 3 members with Lake of Blood, Doctorshopper were recently featured in Cvlt Nation's Top 6 Demo's of 2011 list, and for good reason. The band's 2011 demo, Pax Pharma, is a colossal slab of mind-fucking noise. I grabbed this demo about a month ago but totally forgot about it until I read the Cvlt Nation list. I should not have waited so long.

Doctorshopper combine the noise stylings of bands like Wolf Eyes and Prurient with the raw vocals of black metal, and top it all off with a healthy dose of punk attitude. Pax Pharma is trippy as fuck on it's own but I suggest you turn out the lights and grab some good headphones just to be safe. Doctorshopper are giving this demo away free of charge. You have no excuse.
