Suffering Mind (Poland) - Lifeless (2022)
Poland's Suffering Mind have been active since 2007, and have made their name playing ferocious, unpretentious sledgehammer grindcore with an explicitly anti-fascist political bent.

The description is utter nonsense seeing as the music doesn't have much to do with either genre, yet somehow it still remains pretty fucking awesome.
