Grindcrust perfection. I know I said that already. I know I'll say it again, no doubt.
While I wouldn't call 324 tight, inventive, or even that fast by some standards, they blast with awe-inspiring conviction. Their style is perfect as a modern-day example of the origins of grind, in all their crusty glory. Something important that all love-thrash practitioners could learn from 324 is the second most important rule of grind (just behind "play fast"); that is, to be absolutely relentless, at all times.
Shall we call it 'Rule 324'?

Soulwinter may still be in-print, I'm not 100% sure. You all needed 324 bad though, in any case. However, I WILL post as many links as I want.

Heille, I will call them tight, don't make the sun cry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this. All praise of 324 is accurate.
ReplyDeleteRe: Mach Trigger. I found out even more tantalizing info. Their guitarist is none other than Suzuki of Hellchild fame! He has a rehearsal recording up on his myspace(http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=1000863033)
The one that says マッハトリガー, the others seem to be from different projects.
Tantalizing indeed! The rehearsal stuff on myspace is pretty rockin', albeit a bit standard. Can't say I don't like it however, especially those pinch harmonics and quasi melodic parts.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they seem to be playing pretty straight-forward grind(too the shock of some coaltar of the deepers fans); given that line-up they might put out something which sounds like 'force', which wouldn't be half bad.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good 7". I need more 324!
