OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD BASTARDS AND VINYL JUNKIES!

Our new friend Anthony Von Grimm has a new record store based out of Australia and has made the rad decision to stock up on and carry some of our LP’s and t-shirts. If you’re checking this from anywhere in the eastern hemisphere you can pick up our offerings directly from his store! Check out the rest of the site while you’re there too.. He’s got a lot of great stuff!

Also check out his band, BerserkerfoX too! He’s the one with the gnarly vocals.. Crazy heavy stuff to do whatever hypermacho unrealistic thing to. Personally it makes me wanna kick all the babies in the world at the same time!

Don’t skip this review of Expendable Humans!

Hey Bastards!

Check out what Typhon over at Funeral Rain Press Corps had to say about Expendable Humans after daringly spinning the LP loud enough to melt his face off!

Vise Massacre – Expendable Humans

July 16th, 2012

Genre: Hardcore, Punk, Grind
Label: Independent

After submitting my review for Seizure Crypt a couple of days ago, it was suggested that I gave another hardcore band from New York a shot. After a couple of days of letting Expendable Humans sink in, it is crystal clear that I owe my brother-in-metal, Dave, a big ol’ THANK YOU!!! I’m not ashamed to say that Vise Massacre had me won over in a matter of minutes with their hyper aggressive hardcore style and filthy, almost grind percussion tactics!

The overall sound that Vise Massacre spits out is a grimy hardcore masterpiece full of fresh ideas and time tested structures. There are tracks here that are reminiscent of If He Dies… He Dies, Oroku and even a little bit of a sped up Fog Wizard. So it’s safe to say that I had a massive erection forming over the first two tracks of this album.

I mentioned aggression just a few sentences ago and I don’t think that that description alone does the mood that this album conveys any justice whatsoever. Imagine walking through a crowded shopping mall, the day after Thanksgiving. You’re overheated, tired from getting up super early and fed up with all of the idiotic mouth breathers that are usurping your oxygen. An overweight house frau steps on your toe and doesn’t so much as break her waddling stride to apologize for crushing your big toe under her bovine hoof that’s crammed inside a two sizes too small croc.

Getting pissed yet?

Well, now imagine that in your hands, you’re holding two .357 Desert Eagles that never need reloading and all of the doors leading out of the mall have been locked from the outside…

Expendable Humans is the soundtrack pumping out of the P.A. system overhead as you mow down the annoying and tolerable alike.

Aggressive! Psychotic! Hateful! Fucking Perfect! Vise Massacre unlock the homicidal maniac in you through their blend of loud pounding drumwork, hardcore bellowing and grinding riffs. Expendable Humans is a hardcore adventure unlike any other that I have gone on before and couldn’t wait to take it again as soon as the album was finished. And I did. Over and over again. Once while I was strolling though the mall even…

Overall: When all is said and done, a recommendation to listen to this album couldn’t be glowing enough from me. This is easily an album that I could listen to for days on end, tell a friend about it and listen to it with him/her for more days on end! Vise Massacre may prove that humans are expendable, but they themselves are invaluable to the metal/hardcore community!

10/10

What’s up Bastards!

We’ve been hard at work for a couple of weeks getting our shit together, partying, fucking off, and being creative! Here are a couple pictures I got my hands on of us with a few buddies making stuff for the contest we held last month. For everybody that won something, we’re finally done getting our shit together and will be sending out prizes this weekend. Oh yeah! After the long wait, we finally got the vinyl in our hands as well and will be putting up our store on this site in the next week or so. For the short time being, you guys can go pick up a copy at Generation Records on Thompson St. in NYC. We’ll have 30 limited edition copies of the vinyl for sale there on Record Store Day April 21st. Dave over at Earsplit (earsplitcompound.com) is gonna be carrying them real soon too! We also have tons of new shirts that you can pick up at Generation and that we’ll have up for sale on here in the real near future. Anyway, here are those pics I was talking about…

VISE MASSACRE: Debut LP Release Delayed, But Imminent; Raffle Live

visecrusher — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:54:35 +0000

From earplitcompound.com:

Initially planned for release in January, Brooklyn bastards VISE MASSACRE’s debut LP Expendable Humans has been delayed due to circumstances beyond the band’s control. Something got jacked with the master and had to be corrected, but it’s not really interesting or important… we’re just here to spread the word that the LPs are being packed now, and set for arrival at the end of the month, which will allow Expendable Humans to finally trample mankind on March 6th. Direct links for digital and physical orders will be available in the days ahead.

In the meantime VISE MASSACRE are busy running up bar tabs, skulking on hipsters, and honing their live attack skills in preparation for some live actions to be confirmed in the coming weeks in support of the delayed release of Expendable Humans, which the band are releasing via their own Gorilla The Horse Records through the tight-knit hometown cooperative efforts with NYC’s Generation Records and Earsplit.

The band also got trashed the other night and set up a raffle where 8 diehards can win T-shirts made by the band, limited versions of the LP and other random/unique/creepy handmade VISE MASSACRE creations. The more you fuck with the band via Facebook/Twitter between now and March 3rd the more chances thou hath of winning some gnarly swag. Check out the details at VM’s Facebook.

All of Expendable Humans is still alive and raging for your listening discomfort via Metal Underground.

“…some of the same hardcore-meets-metal fury that permeated projects like Knut, Old Man Gloom, and Black Cobra but with touches of black metal…” – BrooklynVegan

“…high-energy, noisy hardcore played with full conviction. No fucking around. 4/5″ – OneMetal

“…riff upon riff of unforgiving hatred.” – Alternative Matter

“This 31-minute barrage grabs the listener by the throat and maintains its grip for the majority of its duration… For a DIY type album, the production here is excellent… 9/10″ – Metal Assault

“As debut albums go Vise Massacre have come up with something pretty special – a Hardcore album that really challenges other bands in this genre to move away from the old clichés. 4/5″ – Sea Of Tranquility
