Dead Language – Dead Language (Iron Lung Records) I don't know what the rest of his life is like, but when it comes to musical endeavors, it must be pretty nice to be Andrew Beattie. Though he was featured on one of the greatest hardcore releases of the past twenty years (No Comment's Downsided EP from 1992), the breakneck ferocity of his...
Barn Burner – Bangers II: Scum Of The Earth (Metal Blade) As anybody who has had the misfortune of sitting through their albums can attest, joke bands are almost never funny.

Mit Hamine - Pagojet (hitmachine.bandcamp.com) This local Richmond band caught my attention, as well as that of many others, last week with their somewhat ill-fated appearance on Tom Scharpling's Best Show on WFMU. So with that in mind, I decided to check out their latest album, which is available on bandcamp as a free download or a low-priced...
