Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb

Image

This is some of the most punishingly heavy music you'll ever hear. Tons of bands play fast and furious just for the sake of being fast and heavy. Pig Destroyer seem to have another agenda on their minds... playing fast, complex, brutal music is just the means for achieving the creepy discomfort their music invokes. This isn't soothing, pretty music. It's no wonder their last album was titled "Terrifyer". Another thing that sets this band apart is the masterful songwriting, memorable riffs, and more riffs stacked on top of riffs. The amount of killer melodies and riffs on one Pig Destroyer cd would keep most sub-par bands in business for a decade. Very few bands can write music that is this aggressive yet is memorable and structured. Most bands end up just playing a bunch of unintelligible noise, Pig Destroyer is something entirely different and you need to hear this NOW.

AFX: Chosen Lords

A compilation taken from the series of Analord 12" releases. The sounds are similar to his first Ambient Works release, but the tempos are quicker. It's not really dance music and not really chill out music either. Lots of shifting rhythms and tempo changes. It's not gonna knock Selected Ambient Works 85-92 off as my favorite Aphex Twin release, but it does make me wish I had been paying enough attention to get the complete Analord set without having to go try to pay top dollar for all the vinyl now that its become scarce.
