Mindless - Human Conditioning

Bwoooaaaahhh. Mindless (myspace) plays a straight up nasty style of metallic punk. jumping back and forth from mid- to uptempo gritty and heavy grinding music. With signature vocals of Hatred Surge’s front-woman and swampy sludge guitars.

Okkultokrati – No Light For Mass

 listen to Walking Sleep, Sleeping Eye by Okkultokrati

Black ’n Roll is probably the most ridiculous musicterm that I consider accurate enough to refer to. Gritty with a dark undercurrent and rock’n roll grooves, like Marduk or Darkthrone pursue(d). Perhaps Okkultokrati (myspace) have what modern bands in pursuit of this sound lack, a foundation in hardcore music. The typical vocals with a tad too much of a delay effect, as if they were recorded in a dungeon, and mid-tempo guitars that play smooth transitions between noisy (punk) rock in the vein of (the latest albums by) Black Flag and black metalish rock in the vein of Venom.
