More oi in French? Don't mind if I do. This is France's RIXE and this 2017 compilation collects their first 3 EPs together. GREAT shit.

#NowPlaying now that I listen to more of this new Nohz LP, it's got a little crust and d-beat in there too. Where my d-beat people at. @flockofnazguls is one and I think @lola but I haven't seen her around much. So yeah, it's like if Dead Kennedys or Black Flag played d-beat with some black metal vocals, with tons of feedback.

#NowPlaying the new LP 'Slumber Behind Rotten Walls' by Toulouse, France's NOHZ. This is some intense, raucous, feedbacky hardcore punk, and there are hooks in there- along with some black metal maybe. But this is firmly punk, with some depraved, raw vocals. A great listen.

For this week's #ThursDeath, we're going back to the late 90s/early 2000s. Gorestench was from France and weren't around long, but they recorded the fantastic 'Stench of the Dead' demo in 1999. This is a masterclass in OSDM-- brutality, wild riffage, killer drums, solid dynamics, great guttural vocals. The last track here is a bonus track, added from a 2001 compilation, and it's excellent too. I can only imagine how fuckin incredible these guys would've been if they'd continued. It's so great that Doomed to Obscurity Records has been re-releasing all this older metal.

This week's #GrindayFriday is one I've been meaning to feature for a while- I suppose I'd call it goregrind, some death touches. This is VOMI NOIR from Toulouse, France. All their stuff is great- even their earlier stuff- but this LP from 2023, '
L'Innommable Remugle et la Mélopée Cavernuleuse des Râles Agoniques', is a real treat. Some wild drums, dynamics, and weird stuff like I'm always looking for in grind. These guys have it. Great guitar tone, too.

France's REAPING DEATH put out a great, raunchy 6 song EP called 'Maggot Infested Coffin' earlier this year and I dig it. It's rough, OSDM style, very crunchy, cavernous and riffy. And there's some chainsaw, screaming and general horror noises in there, too. Always a good thing.

Some French metal for this week's bonus #ThursDeath 🔥💀

For #GrindayFriday this week I have another brutal masterpiece from earlier this year.

France's BLUE HOLOCAUST released their '13 Flies on Bloodstained Velvet' EP in May, and this disgusting thing rips and churns and does everything good grind should do, at just about 15 minutes total.

As always, apologies to those who don't like gross death metal (keep scrolling!) but for those who DO like gross death metal, I somehow missed this LP from GORUPTED (a one man band/project from France) last year. No idea how.

This might've made my favorite albums list from last year, had I heard it. It's THAT good of gross death metal.
