It is easily worth 90 days of hype. The Seattle grindcore act appropriately takes the lead from Napalm Death, whose video for “Smash A Single Digit” was released this week featuring a truly sketched out Barney Greenway. Stick To Your Guns, Venom, Cancer Bats, The Crown and Rise Of The Northstar also brought new music to Howl’s Featured Playlist this week.
