This Toilet Tuesday (5/5/26)
O Pernicious Pot, O Diabolic Dunny, the waters of Thy bidet wash us like an ever flowing stream. This week, we’ve got cryogenic spirits, Coleoptera-core, and a scribe’s tool of choice. It’s a shallow bowl this time around, but the contents are weird and extra stinky. What are you waiting for? Grab your galoshes! As always, let us know what we missed in the comments.
Gadget – Coerced (De:Nihil Records) [Grindcore]
It’s important never to judge an album by its cover—especially when the preview tracks amount to less than two minutes of music. In the spirit of grind, let’s keep this short: Caroline Harrison artwork of a man ripping plants out of himself + “Flatline”‘s despondent, melodic intro (I hear Nevermore in everything) + Emilia Henriksson’s paint-peeling vocals = you’re going to suffer (laudatory). I promise to never do math on this blog again; after a spin of this EP on Friday, I assume simple operations will be far beyond the grasp of my synaptic slush. -Roldy
