One Album, One Kill

a usual sweep of my cd and record collections, i happened upon several albums i love very much by bands that only did that one album. not "one GOOD album", just 1 album. they're albums i still revisit, that still sound fresh and awesome, but for some reason or another, these bands just came apart after these records. a few have gone on to form other bands, while others faded away entirely. i'm not counting discography collections, and bands that have done splits were also disqualified. bands that only did one full length or ep that was officially released. let's get to the top 5;

BIOVORE - Scientific Proof

the energy of the Bad Brains with the spitty death-tech of Human Remains. such a weird, exhilarating record. CD here.

BLACK ARROWS OF FILTH AND IMPURITY - 1984 Eternal

demented mutantcore from members of COFFINWORM and the deliciously repulsive FEAST OF HEROD (another demo-only favorite of mine).




CD

GARUDA - Cold Wired Sentiment

another bizarre slice of hybrid moments in the vein of Soilent Green.
EBAY



ICEPICK REVIVAL - Distress Signal

a brain-damaged slice of crypto-sludge noise in the vein of Today is the Day, Neurosis, and the like. purchase and MP3 in the link.



PAPERCUT HOMICIDE - From Filth Comes Grace

i think everyone in the Communion has this album, and we may be the only four people who do have it. such a cool, psychotic, caustic piece of violent grinddeath that plays like a blend of Pig Destroyer, None So Vile, and the more punishing moments of Acid Bath, with all the sexual self-atrocities those bands put forth in their art and lyrics.
