Synapse-shredding splatter electronics!! Hyperspeed eGrind glitch violence vs. crushing cosmic electronic chaos! New Jersey duo DATACLAST forge an explosive amalgamation of hyperkinetic breaks and blastbeats organically fused to spastic glitch electronica and bestial vocals with their 29 tracks, bringing post-human grind screaming into the 21st Century. DISCORDANCE AXIS hand picked these guys to open their final show, if that tells you anything. For a point of reference, imagine the surgical grindcore of prime CARCASS brutally molested by KID 606, MERZBOW, and AUTECHRE.
And shadowy Northwest decibel merchants EARWIGS follow up a decade long career of twisted electronic noise abstraction with 6 tracks of new material that tanges from evocative shards of crystalline debris to Mecha-inspired blastquakes of apocalyptic throb.

Review by Jeb Branin from SHORT FAST AND LOUD Magazine:
"DATACLAST is the world's first and finest digi-grind
combo. Using nothing but computers and vocals so sick
that Lucifer himself is jealous, the band spews out
hyper-thrashing grindcore. Yes, they use nothing but
computers, but no, it doesn’t sound like they use
nothing but computers. The music is heavy, violent
and more "real" than half the traditional grind bands
in the world. Computers allow the band to avoid anylimitations of speed, distortion or creativity. They
can, and do, do it all. Everything madhouse grind
fans wished would be incorporated into grind,
DATACLAST incorporate. THE EARWIGS, by contrast,
construct and arrange noisescapes that are haunting
and creepy. Dark and industrial both seem like
adequate adjectives. An interesting, yet ultimately
effective band to pair with DATACLAST.
