Lethality – Everyone Will Suffer EP (2013)

Discarga – Happy Night Electric Experience (2002)

Thrash/Hardcore/Punk

            For many people, when they think of Brazil, it’s all about Sepultura or Ratos de Porao, but for me it’s definitely Discarga.  They have such an original sound: super fast and great vocals.
 

The Squawk – We’re All Fighting For Democracy (2009)

Thrash/Punk

Hong Kong is a region that has embraced the American ideals of capitalism and democracy.  The punks there have a lot of passion and conviction in their beliefs and many of them are social activists.  This band/album captures the spirit of the underground scene in Hong Kong.

Carnivore Diprosopus – Condemned by the Alliance (2013)

Brutal Death Metal (Colombia)

This is the most brutal release of 2013 from one of the sickest bands in the world.  Your darkest nightmares are real.  The New World Order will consume and destroy everything in its path.  Condemned by the Alliance is available at Sevared Records.

Seplophile – Mesonoxian (2013)

Death Metal (Buffalo, NY)

            If you didn’t already buy this CD from Butchered or Sevared Records, I hope a ton of bricks falls from heaven and crushes your pathetic excuse of a skull.  DEATH METAL PREVAILS.

Avulsion – Prince of a Thousand Enemies EP (2000)

 

“Buffalo Grindcore: Est. 1993”

            Avulsion have been active in the underground scene since you were probably an infant.  They are one of the first grindcore bands I saw live and this is one of the first grindcore CDs I ever bought.

Saywhy?/d.h.i.b.a.c. - Split EP (2007)

Grindcore/Powerviolence

d.h.i.b.a.c. opened me up to the world of French grindcore.  France is home to some of the best and most original grindcore and powerviolence bands in the world.  Saywhy? play grindcore from the Czech Republic.  I actually didn’t get into Czech grindcore until more recently.    

Elasticdeath – Monster Inside Us (2008)

Powerviolence

Elasticdeath hails from Rio de Janeiro.  They play powerviolence in the vein of Spazz.  This was Elasticdeath’s first release and it is already a powerviolence classic.

MxDxKx – Splatterguts (2005)

 

“Brazilian Perverse Goregrind”

MxDxKx are without a doubt my favorite goregrind band.  This was their first full-length CD.  They have since released two other full-lengths, Cuntanasia and Into the Pussymorgue, and tons of splits.  Splatterguts is a modern goregrind classic.  All of MxDxKx’s full-length CDs are currently available at Bizarre Leprous Production.

Amputated Genitals – Human Meat Gluttony (2005)

Brutal Death Metal

This is another influential album for me and one which also opened me up to the international scene, more specifically, Colombia.  Some of my favorite death metal bands are from Colombia and they are BRUTAL, I believe some of the most brutal death metal on the planet.  The compilation, A Bombardment from the Southern Paradise, showcases many of the bands that I’m talking about.  Sevared Records still has a few copies of that compilation available.

Torsofuck – Erotic Diarrhea Fantasy (2004)

Goregrind/Brutal Death Metal (Finland)

I first heard this album during a time in which I had grown bored with the metal and hardcore I was listening to.  I had been really involved in my local metal scene then but was unaware of all the other great hardcore and metal from around the world.  Torsofuck changed all that.  They opened my eyes to a vast international underground scene of extreme music and made me want to start my own brutal death metal/grindcore band.
