MEPHITIC CORPSE - "Sickness Attracts Sickness" CD/LP (2025)

AT LONG LAST we get the highly anticipated debut long player from the US west coast's sickest grinding death metallers MEPHITIC CORPSE. Without a doubt, this was worth the wait!

PUS EMULSION - "Ensoaking Cerebral Torture" CS/CD (2024)

CRUDE 'N RUDE - Californian newcomers PUS EMULSION are the latest addition to the crop of grinding, brain-liquefying brutal death metal spawned from the San Luis Obispo area in recent years.

FORCED STARVATION - S/T CD/LP (2025)

IT'S HERE! New Zealand grinders FORCED STARVATION have dropped their debut release / debut full length(!) and it's a total belter from start to finish - don't even bother reading the rest of this, just go buy it!

FUXACHE / IMPULSEALER split 12" (2024)

Straight up - if you like old school Aussie and 2000s-era Euro-grind, I can safely say that This Is An EP You Want!

NECROTECH - "Necrotechnology" CD/CS (2025)

Sentient Ruin Laboratories (USA) are one of the few prominent underground labels out there actively pushing industrial metal alongside cult death, black and doom acts. NECROTECH are the latest addition to their growing roster of pounding machine-metal. 

MISCARRIAGE - "Imminent Horror" 2LP (2019)

 

Total void-worshipping, perverse blackness worthy of such hyperbolic metal-speak!

MIASMATIC NECROSIS (Paolo), September 2024

[Straight up - MIASMATIC NECROSIS are the kings of goregrind in the 2020s, and "Apex Profane" is unbeaten nearly four years on since release. No-one else has crafted such a record that is disgusting, heavy as hell AND memorable since the glory days of DEAD INFECTION and BILE. Read as Paolo humours my fanboyish blathering.]

RETORSION - "Élve Rohad​á​s" CS (2024)

 

"LET'S DO A BAND LIKE REPULSION!" - clone bands are usually trash for obvious reasons, but when it's this well-executed and with plenty of palpable piss and rage in it, I'm all for it!

THIS IS NOT A PROMO BLOG. No review submissions are accepted.

As the title says, THIS IS NOT A PROMO BLOG and no review submissions are accepted. LIVE TO LOSE is strictly one man's bullshit and nostalgia for the good old days of Web 1.0 put up for whoever stumbles across it to see - nothing more, nothing less. Thanks for reading.

In 2024, there are no excuses for grindcore bands not putting their shit up online.

I mean, c'mon. The reasons are obvious. Well, to me at least. Here are a few.

HARM - "Con Safos" LP (2024)

"LET'S DO A BAND LIKE EXCRUCIATING TERROR!" - Los Angeles grinders HARM (standing for "Harsh.Abusive.Radioactive.Mutation.", according to Discogs) have generated somewhat of a cult name for themselves in the last few years over the course of a few live tapes, a 7" EP, a split 7" and now their debut full length.

EXHUMED KORPSE - "Spontaneous Combustion" CS (2023)

Storming out of Adelaide comes EXHUMED KORPSE, a new hard-as-nails black/death war metal entity with a grinding edge. Zero bullshit here!

DISPOSAL UNIT - "78.88.98." CD (2024)

From Lima, Ohio comes DISPOSAL UNIT bringing 10 tracks of hard, embittered, despondent early 90s-rooted industrial metal on their second full length.
