If you should ever run into Scott Hull, you get the fuck out of the way if you know what’s good for you. The man is the king of all things brutal and I think he has a profound hatred of all things human. When he isn’t busy tearing it up with Pig Destroyer or producing bands like Pulling Teeth or Withered, he keeps himself occupied with Agoraphobic Nosebleed.
Despite having a shitload of releases out already, “Agorapocalypse” is only the band’s second full-length in their 10 years of being around. Probably because the human body can only handle so much violence before simply shutting down. And make no mistake… these songs are violent as hell. Mixing grindcore, thrash and everything else extreme under the sun, things simply sound maniacal, especially with three vocalists shredding their larynx. Hell, they need a drum computer because no man can keep up with them!
Yet despite all this, Agoraphobic Nosebleed never forgets that before anything else they need to write songs. Not just a bunch of heavy parts slapped together. There’s always something to hold onto, which is what a lot of similar bands seem to forget. The difference between the two? Kickass album vs. utter shit.
Score: 8 out of 10
