Misericordiam – Unanimity and the Cessation of Hostility — Twelve Gauge, 2007

Unanimity and the Cessation of Hostility is six tracks of blistering death metal that lasts a mere fourteen minutes. And while this EP is extremely short, any longer and the band would have be charged for assault and battery. Las Vegas quintet Misericordiam unleashes a full-on attack of technically amazing riffs and drumming teamed with some of the deepest growls I've ever heard. The artwork to this EP is just as disturbing as the music. Lyrically, the band is quite informative, tackling sociological issues; nothing about rape and murder here, unlike most death metal bands. You've got to admire that. Nevertheless, Misericordiam is the type of band that coalitions of parents form to ban from playing their neighborhoods, and that's cool. So if you're into death metal, grindcore, or just looking for some heavy metal to blow your mind, pick up this EP.

The Verdict? Those expectations were met. It'd be silly to say Songs of a Lost World is a "return to form" as the band and … Read more

There are few bands that hit with the mix of raw emotion and musical talent as a live City Mouse show. There are even fewer bands that can capture that live feeling on a record. It’s been a long 7 years since Get Right, but So Far Out keeps it moving as if no time has passed. Of course, the … Read more

Ideally, I would be a bit more interested in art. In visual art- paintings, sketches, MS Paint monstrosities- whatever.

I spend a lot of time listening to music and, subsequently, I see a … Read more
