The 1992 sophomore album from unusual New York side project PainKiller is generally tagged as a combination of free jazz & grindcore but I would question that position. The jazz component is most certainly bizarre enough to warrant an avant-garde jazz association while the grindcore component is actually quite small given just how short those tracks are. The wider contribution would sit much more comfortably under an avant-garde metal tag as there simply isn't anything around that sounds remotely like this artist. For that reason, I'd like to see 'Buried Secrets' added to The Infinite under the Avant-Garde Metal genre. If this is successful then I'll be looking to have the album removed from The Horde & the Grindcore genre.

This nomination has been posted in the Hall of Judgement.
