Rumpelstiltskin Grinder
Get past the quirky band name and you'll find some potent thrash
from this Pennsylvanian group.
The band formed in 2002, and after releasing a split 7" and a live
CDR (
Raped By Bears), they were snapped up by
Relapse
Records for their 2005 debut,
Buried In The Front Yard,
and now have three albums to their name.
This is speedy, intense thrash, with many nods to the classic
retro thrash sound but also with plenty of modern aggression
that puts this well beyond a dated rehash.
The song titles and general image might lead one to think that
this is just a joke band, but this is anything but.
