Mosh Mosh Get A Wash!

This little post was inspired by the always hilarious Metal Inquisition blog. If you have never read it you most certainly should. Side splitting at times.
As it goes, they have been reffering to a certain brand of extreme music ( used in the loosest term) as "wigger core" or "wigger slam". Now to those uninitiated in this most-awesome-of-awesome genres, its basically the most retarded elements of both Death Metal and shit Mosher metal. Characterised by New Era/Thrash caps, combat shorts, Myspace haircuts and using the term "slam" to describe your music. Now far be it for me to pass judgement on peoples fashion/music/lifestyle choices its a part of modern music that does quite annoy me. You know, death metal and hardcore have been wearing the same t-shirt for years. The 90's saw many death metal riffs popping up in hardcore bands across the world. The entire H8000 scene was built on that very mixing of genres and Victory had one or more bands that crossed the streams as such.
The Red Chord, a band I do rate, had this style nailed from the start, and in such a more proficient way. Since then it seems as if its got more and more watered down. like a taped copy of a copied tape of an original. It gets diluted every time its cloned. I can guarantee what sort of music a kid wearing a New Era cap, combat shorts and a t-shirt with a indescipherable logo will be into when I see them at the bus stop. I'm not that old yet, I still get excited by new music but there seems nothing powerful or extreme about slam-death, wiggercore or whatever you fancy calling it.
Plus its guilt is never clearer than the amount of feckless tools who seem to think its necessary to give lessons on pig squelling ( don't get me started) vocals on Youtube. At least more comedy value for everyone else...just like this tool here....

Its an easy target really. But hey, who cares?

So to combat bad mosher metal, I have got this quite sweet demo of a new Scottish band called Uncalm.

UNCALM -2009 DEMO

Back in the day there used to be a band from Aberdeen called Filthpact. They where ace and played really aggro crusty hardcore. They split and Uncalm rises from the ashes. More grind and power violence afflicted than Filthpact. This is a recording they are offering on there Myspace for free. Download, enjoy and spread the word.
