I wrote something nice and gay on Gridlink's Facebook page a while back and was just gonna paste, but I couldn't find it. Basically it was just a thank you for existing and doing what they did in the short time they were around.
It might seem odd to be so moved by a grindcore album, but this one did it, and it's been real important to me. Long ago while the innate grindcore maniac within me was just beginning to show itself, I happened upon Gridlink and tore it wide open. The album cover was so intriguing, I thought "Amber Gray by Gridlink... What could this be?"
What I heard was definitely a surprise, but it was also a total revelation. In just 10 minutes this album shredded any preconceived notions of extreme music to bits, and then again like 4 times over. And it was fresh. I knew about Gridlink before Discordance Axis, and though both are amazing, Gridlink holds the top spot in my heart. They've since released basically my three favorite grind albums of all time, and I hold them in very high regard.
