<\/div>\n

Tag diving is a lot like dumpster diving. But instead of digging through garbage and finding a perfectly good mostly intact glass eye, I dig through a tag on Bandcamp and share neat music with you. Today’s tag is gross. I’m telling you that’s the tag, not warning you that the tag is a gross one. Although I guess I’m doing both.<\/p>\n

STORY TIME, LOSERS. I’m a teacher in the real, much more terrible world, which usually makes for a good chuckle when switching gears between writing\/listening to gross music and teaching 11-year-old girls how to play the flute. Today, however, my hardened wall of sanity cracked a bit when I took my kids on a contest trip and sat for a couple hours on a charter bus full of children while watching Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. I did not know there was a live action Alvin and the Chipmunks 1. Processing that made the sequel destroy me a little more.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I needed to cleanse myself with some gross music. I can only take so much of my students’ happiness before I need to bathe in filth. Some of you helped me out in the Facebook group<\/a>\u00a0(thank you, blessed nerds), and here’s what I found diving into the Bandcamp tag.<\/p>\n

We’re starting this with guns blazing.\u00a0Worry<\/strong><\/a> is your favorite sludge band you didn’t know you had yet. Everything is ridiculously heavy with guitar and bass tones sounding like they’re on the verge of a dying star-type collapse. I also wouldn’t be surprised if the vocalist, with everything from manic barks to wild shrieks, was the thing making the star die a horrible blazing death. What I’m saying is that a black hole in the near future doesn’t feel completely out of the equation when listening to\u00a0A Celebration of Suffering.<\/em> Comparisons to\u00a0Primitive Man<\/strong> would be apt, although there are a more elements of seething, battering hardcore sprinkled in. Stop reading and listen to this short but beautifully gross album, download it for name-your-price, and pick up a $12 vinyl<\/a>.<\/p>\n
