IWRESTLEDABEARONCE - It's All Happening

My current candidate for album art of the year:


I don't think I could think of a more appropriate name for this release. Genre-hopping, Ritalin-addicted heavy fucking metal that sounds alternately like a less serious Between the Buried and Me and a far more clever Between the Buried and Me. The songs are short, brutal, and unique. Shades of HORSE the Band and Meshuggah... but also pop-song interludes, bluegrass breakdowns, and animal sounds mixed in for god knows what reason: let me warn you, if this sort of irony pisses you off, then this album will piss you off more than anything else. But if you can appreciate the band's sense of humor alongside their seriously heavy "chuggachuggachuggachugga RAAAAWRRRRRRRRRRRR hnggggggggggg-----untz untz untz untz untz untz untz ::::: bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzst" type stuff, then you might just come away from this album with a whole new point of view. And, to boot, it's just great for throwing on at full volume and getting all your frustrations out with. Highly recommended.

Try it here.
