Ben?

Can you ban your brother from the site please for that Bubblegum Octopus track he placed on here?

EDIT:

He's forgiven for that Sermon of Flames track.  Fuck me, what a terrifying track that is.

I agree that I should be banned for that Bubblegum Octopus track. I always make a conscious effort to include a cybergrind track & inevitably find that a) I hate it & b) they're not really a variation on grindcore & it's a stretch to even be calling them metal. I actually think the cybergrind subgenre would be better off as a subgenre of avant-garde metal (if it has to stay a metal subgenre at all) as it sounds pretty ridiculous when book-ended between death metal or grindcore tracks. Thoughts?

I'd have to listen to quite a bit of it to form an opinion, and based on this track, that won't be happening anytime soon.

If Bubblegum Octopus are indicative of the cybergrind genre then it most definitely does need putting in the avant-garde section.  I can't subject myself to listening to anymore of it (knowingly) to explore its future to make a truly informed decision though.

Well, better late than never, here I am to praise another superb playlist for The Horde this month.  Bubblegum fucking Octopus aside, there was not a lot not to love here.  Anything from Repulsion is a sure fire winner for me and dropping Cryptopsy, Pestilence and Naplam Death in here made me smile muchly.

My most impressive "finds" of the list are Sermon of Flames and Defacement and I will be checking out more from both acts imminently.
