Where they from?
Monroe, NJ. The World Baseball Classic starts this week. A lot of baseball purists are against it because of the injury-risk to players (Edwin Diaz tore his ACL celebrating a couple of years ago #LOLMETS) but I am fond of it because if nothing else it gives us a chance to beat Canada again, which was so exciting when it happened in the Olympics that I walked around with an erection all day.
Why the hype?
Mike Mayo is grindcore royalty. The guitarist has spent time in Waking the Cadaver, Compulsed and most notable Ground, the undisputed kings of beatdown grindcore. Well the Mayo man hath returned with a one-man project focused on PATHOLOGICAL GOREGRIND. Think early Carcass and Dead Infection paired Mayo’s penchant for intimidatingly mean guitar riffing. He even did the toilet vocals himself! Bravo!
Latest release?
Demo 2026, self-released. Cavity Injector avoids all the trappings that usually turn me off from Goregrind, mainly the overly long samples and intros. Instead we get five hard minutes of biting riffs and razor-tight computerized drums. Everything this man touches is gold, he is the King Midas of grindcore.
