Cloud Rat - Moksha (2013)

Cloud Rat are a 3-piece grind band from Michigan. This new LP Moksha absolutely destroys. It flows quite nicely for a grind record. Don't get me wrong, there's multiple onslaughts of barrage thrashing, but there's a few slow tracks that sort of work as interludes breaking the album up into movements. What's even better is the slower tracks are actually cool so you don't skip them. That almost never happens. The production is raw. Good raw. Not trashcan raw. Shit's gritty and the vocals just decimate.

Additionally, there's a cover of Neil Young's "The Needle And The Damage Done." One time while eating pizza with some friends Bob Dylan came on the radio and one of them said "This asshole and Neil Young should 69 on a landmine." I don't dislike Neil Young as much as my friend, but I definitely don't go out of my way to listen to his music either. Cloud Rat doing it is much easier for me to handle.

The bottom line here is DO NOT SLEEP ON CLOUD RAT. I did. I slept on them fucking hard, man. I've had their first LP just sitting in a folder for 2 years and never even listened to it. I feel like a total dipshit now. This is a solid effort and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Cloud Rat's Blog

With the recent return of some of my favorite blogs The Living Doorway and Coffin Psalms, I'm starting to feel back in the community spirit. I have other reasons for neglecting this thing besides blogs dropping off like flies such as - I don't have a computer at home and I now manage the shop I work at, so I actually have to do shit when I'm there instead of fucking off here with you guys (the preferred activity.) The other issue is I've been just hoarding all this new shit as it comes out, but not having much time to really get into any of it.

Even though i'm living like a cro-mag with no computer, I do have a phone and am all up in some Instagram. I enjoy it way more than I ever thought I would. If you want a glimpse into how much I'm drinking, what I'm watching on Netflix, or what my dog and I are up to you can follow me @annihilatenextweek

  1. I haven't listened to this one yet, but their last one was dope. I did see them play about a month ago. They were the best of the bill and the singer's a babe.

  4. I'm not incredibly major and I could leg press more than 400 pounds although I are unable to visualize everything else I could potentially do with even practically that a lot excess weight.

  7. You can invest around two,000 pounds for the a lot much larger,
    stationary, and considerably less effective training technique,
    otherwise you can invest 50 bucks about the Bodylastics procedure that provides you a much better
    somme work out than the opposition in a very scaled-down, extra portable package deal.
