I asked Mondo to "send me the most ****ed up, brutal powerviolence you can," and this was the first of eight bands he sent me. Holy. ****ing. ****. I've pretty much been waiting to find a band this extreme my entire life, but had pretty much given up hope. But now... my ears are bleeding. Any more intense and I think you just get Merzbow.
**** death metal. Nah, death metal's still cool.

I was just listening to Primitive a few minutes ago, and yeah, **** kills. I think powerviolence is going to become my go-to genre for brutality. Also discovered Agents of Abhorrence on the way. Pretty insane as well.

Only listened to a bit of Spazz, and only Dwarf Jester Rising which I hear is more straight-up PV and less punk than their later material, but they're pretty cool. I hear it was them and Charles Bronson who brought more traditional punks into the genre. This post from the Metal Inquisition blog gave an interesting view on the early period of powerviolence that wasn't entirely complementary of the late-nineties switchover from PV made by anti-social meth heads to political, ultra-PC punks. Too new to the genre to have a feeling one way or the other, but the post was good as a crash course in early powerviolence from a guy who claims to have been there for the 1st wave scene from day one. Has some funny and enlightening stories. The comments are equally as good.

Then go check out thedowngoing. As a pretentious, arty douchetwat it should really rock your socks off. They're the most insanely brutal band I've ever heard, powerviolence or otherwise.

I did and for some reason they didn't really rock my pretentious, arty douchetwat ass. But I'll give them another shot, seeing as we mostly agree on grindcore and related stuff.
