This music is lethal, infectious as myeloma, and already has a reserved slot on my Best of 2011 list. If your knowledge was spotty like mine, listen to their origins with previous band Usurper, and details on their recording style with producer Sanford Parker. Hear complete sneak previews of “March of the Dead” from their eponymous debut (which continues behind our conversation) and “Lonely Death” to conclude.

I’ve read 45 elsewhere, but count 49 bands on this list for the festival that runs 4/20 – 4/24 in Oslo!

If you really enjoy older hardcore with a bit of a crust/grind/thrash edge to it, you will certainly enjoy “Insecurity Notoriety”.

The enigmatic tribal grind/anarcho-crust collective known as Resistant Culture have announced plans to take their message to the masses on a North American tour this fall. Fans of early Napalm Death, Bolt Thrower, Amebix, Phobia, Magrudergrind, and Terrorizer, get STOKED.

“Goner” is a cornucopia of anger, depression and despair,conveyed through each song.
