The Vomit Arsonist - Sometimes It's Easier to Kill Somebody Else

The Vomit Arsonist has been a mainstay of New England’s dominant PE scene for well over a decade. He continues to cement his legacy with his latest tape Sometimes It’s Easier to Kill Somebody Else. This is a seriously dark release. Haunting layered textures and cavernous pulses form the bedrock of this exceptionally patient and precise industrial death march. Monstrous vocals cut through the mounting murk and fill each track with obsession and violence. A threatening album from a place that doesn’t care if you come up dead. Sometimes it’s easier to kill somebody else.

Gordie Howe - Old Time Hockey

In 1997 a 65-year-old Gordie Howe played a single shift of a minor league hockey game in Detroit. In the parking lot after the game, a fan gave Gordie a copy of the Apartment 213/Benumb split. That record changed his life. He needed to make music that ignorant about the sport he loved. Enlisting the help of hall of fame players Bobby Hull, Guy Lafleur, and Patrick Roy, that foursome would record on and off from then until Gordie’s death in 2016. Old Time Hockey represents the first of those recordings to be completed by the remaining members and Gordie’s family. Layers of rough bass flood Roy’s signature machinegun blasts to create a swirling noisecore wall that has been described as “insane” and “disorienting”. Howe, Hull, and Lafleur provide a 3-layer vocal barrage that would guarantee 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. 15 tracks in under 15 minutes, this is noisecore for 4th liners. Blast beats for dropped gloves. I'm a fuckin idiot.
