  • Dagoba “Face the Colossus”

    Wow, I thought Gojira was disappointing! Dagoba makes Gojira look like Suffocation! Face the Colossus is over 50 minutes of boring industrial groove metal that will have you screaming for a Mortician record because even Mortician does something. What that “thing” is, I have no idea; maybe listening to Mortician enough times will cause Will [...]

  • Gronibard “We Are French Fukk You”

    I’ve heard people hyping Gronibard for years but never bothered to check them out until I saw the hilariously ridiculous artwork for their third studio effort, We Are French Fukk You, and decided to pick up this disc and give it a listen. After listening to this album a handful of times, I can [...]

  • New Tracks From Blockheads/Mumakil Split EP

    Metal Underground reports that two tracks from the Blockheads/Mumakil split EP Blind have been posted to Bones Brigade’s MySpace page. Blockheads‘ new song, "Buenosaires", is the usual good grind I expect from Blockheads.  I’m not as crazy about the Mumakil track, but it’s a good choice to round out a split.  $5US, kids!

  • Gojira “The Way Of All Flesh”

    For the longest time, I’ve been rather cautious to listen to Gojira. Why? Because, well… no one could ever tell me about Gojira. See, whenever I would hear some metalhead nerd go on and on, praising Gojira’s music and how amazing they were, I would naturally inquire as to what Gojira played. I never got [...]

  • Pitbulls In The Nursery “Lunatic”

    Every Beechnut spitting, Blue Ribbon drinking, red-blooded American is supposed to hate the French. For some reason I’ve always wanted to follow this smoothly paved path. I guess it’s because they look down their noses at tourists with that ‘please douche’ sneer. Ever tasted Avian before? It tastes like shit, but [...]

  • Impureza “Inquisition Demos”

    In 2007 France’s Nihilistic Holocaust released a 10 song demo compilation by French death metallers Impureza entitled Inquisition Demos. Contained on the release is material from the band’s three demo recordings and kicks off with the most recent material from 2007’s El En Desierto De La Creencia. The opening track, "El Gitano Maldito", starts off [...]

  • Blockheads “Watch Out”

    Blockheads are familiar figures in French grindcore, enough that Bones Brigade released the retrospective From Womb to Genocide (which contains Watch Out) in 2001 and have been the band’s longtime home/album reissuer. After listening to Watch Out, it should be obvious why. Blockheads have five styles of vocals as four of the five members provide [...]

  • Ultra Vomit “M.Patate”

    While I’m admittedly not a big fan of France’s death metal scene, I don’t have many bad things to say about their undergrind scene, as they’ve spurt out several quality acts including Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition, Gronibard and Blockheads. The name Ultra Vomit can now be added to the top of that list. Ultra [...]

  • Sylvester Staline “Gonna Spread Hard Drugs To Your Stupid Kids With The Royalties Generated By This CD”

    Look at this cover. What do you think about? I think about terrible shit music that is filled with inside jokes that aren’t very amusing. Now, how is it that some bands are able to pull off jokes that are amusing to people outside a small town in Uzbekistan? Well, I can be one of [...]

  • No Return “Self Mutilation”

    I’ve heard so few releases from bands from France I often forget the country even has a metal scene. No Return is one of the country’s earliest outfits, combining an all out thrash assault with keyboard sampling to make for a uniquely familiar sound. Unlike another band I recently reviewed, Cronic Disorder, No [...]
