RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER „Buried in the Front Yard”
With one of the weirdest names in metal, Pennsylvanias Rumpelstiltskin Grinder (from here on known as RsG) have unleased their debut full length on the mighty Relapse label. Having not heard these guys before, I was open to anything that this might throw at me with a name as convoluted as theirs and an album entitled Buried in the Front Yard adjectives such as Gore and Grind were the most obvious descriptions that came to mind.

CIRCLE OF DEAD CHILDREN „Zero Comfort Margin”
As far as my records show, Zero Comfort Margin is album number four for this Pennsylvania crew. Circle of Dead Children are a rather prolific grind act, but then again when your latest album contains only 20 minutes of music spread over 15 separate entities, I dont suppose its all that difficult to roll out a new full length year after year.
CANNAE „Gold Becomes Sacrifice”
Cool Songs: Rats, Snakes & Thieves, Indemnity, Mechanics of Moving Backwards, Bastinado, Acts of False Signals.
