Gatefold cover with original artwork. To cite their motto: “Explore the Unlimited Possibility of Neo-Power Violence.” A-fucking-men. First press 500, second press 300, both on black vinyl.

625#234 PSUDOKU – Space Grind LP

From the outer-cosmos comes the one-man-prog-blast-unit PSUDOKU. Think

625#221 PARLIAMENTARISK SODOMI – Regnskog- Fred Og Vegetarmat 7″EP

Following up the debut LP on 625, the one-man, anti-Norwegian-parliament grind unit is back with some blistering new tracks. Heads above the rest, PxSx combine great song writing without sacrificing any of the unrelenting ferocity of 1000mph grindcore. Needs to be heard to be believed. Limited to 500 copies, glued covers, great artwork and a folded insert. Released in 2009.

625#218 PARLAMENTARISK SODOMI – De Anarkistiske An(n)aler LP

Mind-blowing one-man grindcore from Norway – you will not believe that this was put together by one person. PARLAMENTARISK SODOMI takes cues from various versions of grind, both past and present, but stands out due to their (or  should I say “his”) exceptional song writing and unrelenting speed. One of the most ferocious bands I have ever heard, and which made me break my own “no drum programming” rule for 625 (damn you Steinar!). Limited to 500, released in 2009.
