Teethgrinder

Crunchy, harsh, trance, rhythmic, noise, acidic, violent, and unavoidable are all words that have been used to describe this NYC-based band's music. They've been grafting infectious and innovative power noise trance since 2001. Their second album on Metropolis is a myriad of torment, anger, confusion, hatred, and pain. Aggressive is too mild a word to describe the pummeling beats, explosive rhythms, critical state melodies, and self-destructive tempo. The most raging album you'll hear this year.
