Disrupt – Relapse are going to re-issue Disrupt’s Unrest on April 9, along The Rest; a collection of Disrupt 7′s, demos, comp. appearances and live recordings. Relapse will also release a limited edition boxset, called Disrupt Dead, which will feature Unrest, The Rest and a DVD of 4 live shows and hefty 52 page booklet. The boxset will only be available from relapse records.

Cephalic Carnage – The incomparable Cephalic Carnage have returned to claim their place as the leaders of metal’s new era of extremity with their ferocious new record Xenosapien.
Cephalic Carnage synthesize everything great about metal, from spastic virtuosity to warp-speed grinding to the heaviest rock riffs ever unleashed. Xenosapien’s mind-bending, technical insanity/mastery collides head on with the band’s brutal
metal roots to form their most immediate, hard-hitting, and finest album to date.
Xenosapien is unquestionably one of the best heavy records of 2007, and proves once and for all that these unconventional visionaries are set to lead metal well into the 21st century.

About

Aus Grind was created in an effort to promote Australian Grindcore: an online community of grind fans, bands and record labels willing to promote and support both the growth of the local scene and the prevalence of Australian Grindcore in the international extreme music industry. We hope that this forum and blog will become the central point for all grind communication between record labels, bands, distributors and their fans.

Australia is widely recognised to have one of the strongest grindcore scenes in the world next to Sweden and the Czech Republic. Maybe it’s something about the nature of Australian culture – or just the fact that our nation’s geography is totally unconducive to commercial success – but we manage to pump out some of the world’s premium grindcore groups that could easily outblast the worlds best. Groups such as Fuck… I’m Dead, Undinism, Agents of Abhorrence, Beyond Terror Beyond Grace, The Kill, Captain Cleanoff, Blood Duster, Ebolie, Space Bong and Maximum Perversion just to name a few.

We have created AUS GRIND with the hope of expanding support for Australian Grindcore across Australia and internationally – whether it be powerviolence, crust/grind, gore/grind, spazz/grind, cuntgrind, hydrogrind or however else you want to label it. We are dedicating our time to support the music we love. You can help by joining and contributing.
