GAPING MAW from Cincinnati has broken up. I talked to one or two of the guys about it. Sad to see that happen, but hopefully good will come of it. If you haven't heard them yet, go to bandcamp and pick up their swan song, The Big Fuck-Over . Physical copies are $5, downloads are name-your-price. The Big Fuck-Over by Gaping Maw WOORMS (from Baton Rouge, Louisiana) released a sick album called Slaked this year on Sludgelord Records. It's on Spotify , Bandcamp , etc. I strongly recommend it. Definitely a top five or top ten release for the year. Grab a copy on splattered vinyl before they're gone!!!! Australia's HORSEHUNTER put out their long-awaited sophomore effort, a self-titled full-length on Magnetic Eye. It's on a variety of formats. You can hear it in all of the usual places... Spotify , Bandcamp (which is also where you can buy it), etc.
