DOWNLOAD: Kill A Celebrity – The 2007 Anal Discharge Sessions

Posted by Lachlan

Kill A Celebrity and Anal Discharge splitSince our Grindslaughter demo is available for download (recorded at the start of 2007) , I figure we might as well throw up these recordings too.

I recorded and mixed these 4 tracks in my bedroom towards the end of 2007. At some point I was meant to release them as a 'Digital EP', but then we had some strange Malaysia record label interested in releasing them in a professionally printed 5 way split CD with a few cool bands (Collision from the Czech Republic, The Arson Project from Sweden and Onanizer who are all the goods).

We got the audio mastered by Tim Carr and sent him the tracks, but for whatever reason he decided to never reply to any of the bands. We also used 2 tracks for our CULT AS FUCK split double floppy disc with Anal Discharge which is long sold out.

Hope you enjoy them. Feel free to burn and share them with mates.

Tracklisting:
1. Dying for Meth
2. Genocidal Superstar
3. Burden (Rotten Sound)
4. The God Delusion

Shitloads of Australian Grind news!

Posted by Lachlan

McClane have some new tracks up on their MySpace; Thats Gonna Wake The Neighbours and Deniable Thumbsucking Suicide from their new upcoming EP. http://www.myspace.com/mcclanehc

Captain Cleanoff have set up an Australian tour! It's about fucking time! Check out the dates on their MySpace page. http://www.myspace.com/captaincleanoff

Vomitose Zine has shitloads of new material such as interviews from The Kill, Ambramelin, Sinistrous Diablos, Skullhog, Eyehategod, Fuck I'm Dead and loads more. It's a great zine being written out of Melbourne, so be sure to check it out. http://vomitose.blogspot.com

The Kill are working on a new release featuring their new(ish) vocalist Nik (Super Fun Happy Slide). I know I can't fucking wait to hear it; these guys absolutely tore it up at Grindcore 2008. The bad news is they wont be heading up to Sydney in the near future as all their energy is currently devoted to this release. http://www.myspace.com/thekillgrind

Dining in Tuscany are playing at Maggotsville this Friday night with Crux, Walrora (VIC), Scum System Kill and Voting with Bricks. This will more than likely be their last show for a while as they go into pre-production for a new release in the near future. http://www.myspace.com/diningintuscany

Beyond Terror Beyond Grave have uploaded some videos and a tour diary from their recent shows in New Zealand. From all reports they went down really well, and even discovered a few cool NZ grind bands. You can catch the lucky bastards live when they support Pig Destroyer and Carcass, or on the Newcastle date on Captain Cleanoff's national tour. http://www.myspace.com/beyondterrorbeyondgrace

Crux and Grey Daturas have been added to the line-up for Pig Destroyer's Sydney show. I kinda expected some grind bands as support, but seeing Crux with a huge sound at the Gaelic should be interesting, and this will be the first chance I've been able to check out Grey Daturas live. http://www.myspace.com/cruxhc

Kill A Celebrity are flogging off their sexy new shirt design for $20 (postage included) or $15 at shows. They played last Friday with Matt (Anal Discharge, The Temperamental Pocket) filling in on vocals, and are back to a three piece as Shannon (New Blood) recently withdrew from the band, citing the belief that he felt the bands new direction was 'too brutal, too fast, too technical and simply all too much for me'.

The band are finalising artwork for their split release with UK noise/grind band Krupskaya on Grindhead Records. Their demo CD 'Grindslaughter' is still available for download through their MySpace blog. http://www.myspace.com/killacelebritygrind

Code of Lies are flogging off their cool new EP The Age of Disgrace on their MySpace page. The EP is expected to be officially released through Grindhead Records in the near future. http://www.myspace.com/codeoflies

Rather Be Dead should have copies of their new MCD 'Stock' available for sale this week. They've got some killer merch available too; but hurry - stocks are running out. http://www.myspace.com/ratherbedeadband

Summonus are looking for gigs to show off their THC-drenched brand of sludgey doom stoner rock and flog off some new shirts and CDs. Check these guys out if you havent already. Features Rod Hunt on vocals. http://www.myspace.com/summanus666

Fuck Oath have some new songs up and are looking for a bass player. http://www.myspace.com/fuckoathoz

I guess thats all for now.

Download: Kill A Celebrity – Grindslaughter

Posted by Lachlan

I've always said, if you're playing grindcore for money then you're a fucking idiot - and hey, thats one of the reasons why I've always loved the genre; and the reason why Australia produces so many quality grind bands (because we sure as fuck arent in it for the money). It is in the spirit of this totally defeatist attitude that I am letting you all steal Kill A Celebrity's Grindslaughter.

Grindslaughter is our 12 track, 19 minute demo CD released in March 2007. We released it in a professionally printed slipcase - so if you want one just hit us up at a show. We recorded these tracks in Steve's bedroom and my garage mid 2006, then mixed it all in my bedroom late 2006. Thats kvlt-as-fuck, right? Bedroom grindcore?

Whatever, just download it, listen to it and hate it so we can all get on with our lives.

What the critics said:
"I think with maybe a little more budget they could have created an amazing debut and could have gotten right in line with the names mentioned above (Antigama, Cephalic Carnage, Pig Destroyer, Nasum). I guess the true noise-grind fans can blow some spunk on this one." - Metalrage

"The last track 'Corbetti' is kind of a mystery to me, it's basically a chill jazzy track that one might hear on Arrow Jazz FM here in Holland, while there's some incoherent mumbling in it. A bit of a weird ending of the album." - Metalrage

"The vocals are pretty irritating. Hey, scream at me a little more, why not? Too much hardcore, not enough growl. Make more growl or fuck off. On the other hand, the drummer is way too good for this band." - Global Domination

"I did repeat the 5 second long “Paris Hilton’s head on a fucking stake” a few times. From what I can tell, the song basically is a drum fill, guitar riff, blastbeats, and the singer screaming “Paris’s head on a fucking stake, that’s hot!” Awesome." - Global Domination

"Get more audio clips of Jimmy giving us a spew." - Global Domination

"This "Grindslaughter" demo is just amazing, sometimes surprising and always grinding as fuck!!" - Vomit The Soul (yes, I blew him)
