I've been trying to decide what to say about this record for a couple days now and I still can't seem to come up with anything relevant. I don't listen to metal and never really have (save the occasional sludge joint). This I suppose wouldn't strictly qualify, but it's probably the most metal record I've really enjoyed recently. Anyway, Owen Hart is a grindcore band from Tacoma, WA and "Earth Control" is their first full-length effort. It was released by Vitriol Records in December. It's really not that far removed from Graf Orlock, though there are a lot more breakdowns, tempo changes and general guitar work (shredding, wailing, what-have-you). At first I didn't know if I was going to like it, but it turns out, that even with its decidedly metal leanings, "Earth Control" is absolutely on point all the way through.
Buy it from Vitriol
