Now, let us proceed unto the ultra-brutal side of things. If you enjoy being repeatedly beaten about the head by heavy objects, you will relish this very much. Excruciating Terror deliver crushing, uncompromising, inexorable, like a back door maniac, grindcore/crust. Sure, Napalm Death's "Scum" is the only grindcore album that really matters, but that's not gonna stop bands from playing this type of music. Sure, the production sucks and the songs are one-dimensional in their savage brutality, but people don't buy this stuff for variety or personal enjoyment. They buy it to get a fucking punch in the face and an adrenaline rush. Hurricane drums, swirling guitars, insane speed, utterly barbaric dual vocal attack - pretty damn brutal. Recommended only for the most hardened grind maniacs.
