KNUT Bastardiser
Argh!!! Knut's Bastardiser was recorded back in 1997 and subsequently released overseas, but it's finally become available in the United States thanks to Hydrahead Records, a consistent crowd-pleaser for fans of radical metalcore. Knut hails from the nice, neutral country of Switzerland, but Bastardiser revolts and screams "Anarchy" with its Coalesce-style, mathematical, mid-tempo trigcore. Keep in mind that the album is four years old and hatched just as this style of music was taking off before you start thinking, "This sounds like a tamer version of the American metalcore that I know and love." Beat your listeners into submission with "The Whip," "High/Low" and "Crawling On All Fours."
