NASUM was the undisputed leader of grindcore's second wave and nothing proves this more than 'Doombringer'; a blistering 25 minute live set of untapped rage recorded in Osaka, Japan on the bands final Japanese tour. 'Doombringer' proves why Nasum set the standard for grindcore in the 21st century.

After their well received Proper Execute 7'' (Pass Judgement Records), MUCH WORSE return to deliver five tracks of damaging brutal hardcore / punk on this EP. You can still hear their Japanese-meets-American hardcore influence, but they've thrown some Scandinavian D-Beat influence into the mix as well for a nice touch. They've stepped up their songwriting to capture a much more pulverizing approach with lots of technical guitar and bass shredding over bulldozing drums, topped with maniacal vocals. Their sound is well conceived and original, all the while waving their hardcore / punk banner high. Fans of Totalit?r, Nightmare, Jerry's Kids, and Lip Cream will have their jaws dropped in awe.
