Where they from?
Dallas, Texas. The New York Jets have lost three in a row but the New York Rangers are 3-1, you gotta take what you can get. New York’s goaltender, the legendary Igor Shesterkin, even scored a goal! That surely makes up for the fact that Aaron Glenn has no idea what he’s doing, right? RIGHT?!
Why the hype?
The state of Texas right now is home to a thriving mince/grindcore scene that rivals anywhere else in the world currently, and Bladda remain at the heart of the movement. The band churns out a putrid whirlwind of slimy west coast-influenced crusty grindcore that knows when to stop and take a moment to pound you into submission with some seriously tasty OOMPA-OOMPA beats. Combine that with some off-putting samples and a delightfully absurdist name and WA LA, we have a winner.
Latest release?
Heinous Methods of Cranial Disposal, self-released. This is low IQ-music in the best way possible: just all blasts and then lumbering crust breakdowns, all mixed together in a putrid stew of down-shifted vocals. This is the sort of stuff cavemen would bash each other’s skulls into after killing a whale. Were they alive at the same time? IDK, DOESN’T MATTER!
