GRIDLINK LONGHENA BLOGSPOT FREE DOWNLOAD

How something can sound so completely unhinged, yet so complex and intelligent all at the same time is beyond words. Granted, I wish they would have offered more instances of such broad departure as 'breathers' amidst the typical turmoil, but being a grind group, it's not like they waste a lot of time battering away All of that, like I said above stays into the confine of a structure that can still be identified as Grindcore. From the opening sparkly and bouncy riff of "Constant Autumn," to the whirring Heavy Metal dual melody attack of "Ketsui" to the somber, dissonant Prog Metal sections of "Island Sun," Longhena declares itself separate from the classification. One last shot at codifying their identity into sonic form and leaving it for the masses to judge and disseminate among themselves. It's not 'cubicle grind' or anything of the sort, but it's adventurous enough to retain the attention span of its audience, and even if not incredibly memorable, an intense swan song to leave us pondering while we reattach our heads. It's one of the most listenable and enjoyable, and highly addicting, releases I've heard, and without question the best Grindlink album.

The emotional depth that he grldlink to grindcore is more than just the typical hateful rage most bands in the genre stick to. Many love his style and many hate his style.

Intense brutality, melodic complexity, and all around genius make this certainly one of most unique grindcore records of all time.

The drums are naturally intense, blasts all over the place, but they're also exhausting, so I gridlik myself appreciating the fills and change-ups more than the constants. Grindcore be damned as well.

The album isn't as futuristic and fashionable as you might guess by looking at the cover model, who seems like she's about to pilot an EVA mech. Guitarist Takafumi Matsubara shreds and bludgeons listeners with insanely fast riffs and chords with surprisingly deliberate tridlink coherent melodies and dissonance that is feels tantamount to being swept away by an F-5 class tornado. All of this is tied up with screaming vocals that sounds almost like a Black Metal shriek but without the over-extended vocal chords destroying wail.

Others find it unimpressive.

Again, I instantly fell in love. In fact, it's debatable whether Gridlink were even trying to make a grindcore record here, or rather just some sort of distillation of their musical taste's and influences which includes healthy doses of traditional metal, grindcore, prog rock and ambient, all vigorously whipped together with a futuristic, Japanese cyber punk flavor and Jon Chang's legendary vocals and powerful, poetic prose.

It's not 'cubicle grind' or anything of the sort, but it's adventurous enough to retain the attention span of its audience, and even if not incredibly memorable, an intense swan song to leave us pondering while we reattach our heads.

Best viewed without Internet Explorer, in x resolution or higher. One of the band's gig poster from a while back.

Not the man, as I don't personally know him, but Jon Chang the vocalist. For me personally, Discordance Axis will forever be one of my all-time favorite grindcore bands. It felt too much like Discordance Axis to me, just more Japanese and clean, and yet it lacked the massive intensity and wrath of hateful conviction. Hands down one of the more curious and technical grindcore acts I've heard over the last decade, their third and final full-length outing Longhena is a breat Longhena feels very much like an album made for the musicians who created it, and we all get to bask in that freedom of not giving two flying fucks.

Yet Longhena feels largely complete, as though nothing is really missing. I tried to channel the wrath, disgust and complete humanity that Chang gave us on The Inalienable Dreamless. While there are many bands influenced by DA, no band really sounds like them.

I'm glad I pre-ordered the CD, and will baby the shit out of it until the day I can't grind anymore. HeySharpshooterFebruary 24th, Grindcore, like much of Extreme Metal yes, it's Metalis very much a genre of tradition and paradigms.

This is more like Grind with a more refined attitude and a more modern Hardcore-influenced approach than others. Longhena feels very much like an album made for the musicians who created it, and we all get to bask in that freedom of not giving two flying fucks. It was hard not to noticed a down tick in intensity with Gridlink's previous releases and with Hayanio Daisuki, though this can be chalked up to the obvious throat damage of Chang's unhinged style surely has brought.

Not long after I found that vocalist Jon Chang had moved onto this band Gridlink. From the opening sparkly and bouncy riff of "Constant Grdilink to the whirring Heavy Metal dual melody attack longhen "Ketsui" to the somber, dissonant Prog Metal sections of "Island Sun," Longhena declares itself separate from the classification.

Subtle war-themed anime referenced here. This does not mean that there is some form of Metalcore influence in this album but a sound that seems to stay away from conventional E-string based heavy sound. Gridlink are gone, but Longhena remains and will be heard and appreciated for years to come. But what a way to bow out.

GridLink – Longhena Album Review

Even the lyrics take an even more mature approach. Constructed on the template of short blistering micro-songs, the band uses a hefty amount of tremolos to create a melodic, uplifting feel, blogepot to have the drums going on a blast in the background with complex signatures.

Abandoning the Oni devil masks of their previous album covers for something more sleek and contemporary, one bloggspot also assume the music of Gridlink would follow the same course, but that's not wholly the case.
