I totally blew it and mislabelled the Frivolvol mp3 I posted yesterday. It was the correct song I meant to post, I just had the name wrong. Whoops! The right and proper name for the song is "Where dismal used to live".

If you know Park Hotell or have any of their contact info, can you please pass it on to me? Or at least tell them to get in touch. I'd appreciate it.

Backyard Babies screwed up on their newsletter mailing - it is in fact Abacus Recordings that has now signed the band, not "Another Century media" though the label is indeed a division of said company.

New mp3s today from Frivolvol, a band from Finland who just released their new album "Frivolous vol 2: The false security program" via If Society (available for mailorder m/store.php?id=78">right here). Don't be expecting sweet pop like that Robert Post track I put up monday - nope, this is some seriously intense hardcore, chock-full of twisted, chaotic riffs and throat-shredding screams. And for as brutal and crazy as this track is, I think it's actually one of the more straight-forward pieces. They have the capability to craft some ridiculously complicated music, but they also seem to understand that it's necessary to sometimes leave notes hanging. It's amazing how few other mathcore don't grasp the concept of contrasts. Oh, and speaking of contrasts, be sure to listen through to the coda. What a perfect way to bring the song to provide release and bring the song to a close.
