It's #BlackMetalMonday, and this is ENDS EMBRACE (one man Native American black metal project from Scottsdale, Arizona) covering a Ramones classic with all the correct black metal flourishes.

Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue (Ramones Cover), by Ends Embrace

This week's #ThursDeath is DEATH TUNNEL, the members of which are natives from the nearby (to me) Salt River Reservation here in Arizona. Death Tunnel have been around since 2021, had an LP last year, and another this year, 'Predisposed to Decompose': https://youtu.be/R3arjxcOsEY

The band has an Instagram, and one of the posts links the album for FREE DOWNLOAD here: https://mega.nz/file/edsQCLAT#VzrzE7yn4S2XCUk9lj6bMAuvOUC8fVrGulquzGeo4ko. It's not on Bandcamp or Qobuz or anything (why it was so tough to find) but it's a REALLY killer OSDM style ripper, like I love. Had I discovered it earlier this year, it would've probably made one or both of my lists.

This week's #GrindayFriday are local (to me) Phoenix, Arizona boys GARNAK. This last one they did in 2023, 'We're Serious This Time' has so much great stuff on it.

It's grindy but also punk, deathy, sludgy sometimes, and some powerviolence vibes. Killer riffs, sweet breakdowns, weirdness, it's got it all. Plus the song titles and lyrics.. all wins. πŸ‘ŠπŸ½

#GrindayFriday this week is deathgrind- more on the death side, probably. Fans of Phoenix, Arizona's THORN will want to get in on this, as Thorn is over, but now SLIGM are in their place, and in my opinion, are better. As a 2 piece now instead of just a solo project, the drums are super dynamic and badass. 'Untethered Dimensions' is a killer EP with lots of great riffs and textures.

It's #GrindayFriday, and this week is local Phoenix, Arizona grind/powerviolence duo LAW ABIDING CITIZEN and their 2024 EP 'For the Culture' via No Time Records. The separate tracks of the EP have all been merged into one here-- just over 10 minutes total. Great riffs, brutality, insanity, a few samples that actually still crack me up (Carrey and Farley). A lot to dig on this one.
