Where they from?
Long Island, NY. Went 1-2 with my NFL picks last week, so why do I keep doing this? Well, it’s too late to give up now! This week I like the Steelers giving 5.5 against the Bengals, the Giants getting 7 against Broncos and the Commanders getting 2.5 against the Cowboys. Pick against all of those if you’re a wise man!
Why the hype?
Long Island is the brewing, scummy and hateful underbelly of the metropolis we know as New York City and so it makes sense that it produces some rather ravaging grindcore. Enter Fermented Mess who combine the chromatic riffing of Internal Rot with the gurgling vocal attack of Sulfuric Cautery. This stuff is grimy and relentless, a testament to trve grindcore in a sea of filthy pretenders. There are riffs and blasts for days and you can practically feel the basement mildew dripping from every inch of the band’s incredible bombast.
Latest release?
Fermented Mess, out now on Baby Chico Records. I love how the first eight songs of this album are total high-evisceration grindcore and then they take the last track as an opportunity and get all LONG ISLAND on you and beat you down with some filthy grooves. You can practically feel the chairs hitting you in the face at Shaker’s Pub when you listen to it. I love it, give me more.
