New music from thedowngoing, free music from Blister Unit

First, thedowngoing. If you haven't heard of them, then you're a bad person and should be ashamed. Only joking - they're a two-man grindcore outfit from Australia who redefine the word "brutality", and now they've put a new song on their Bandcamp page. It's from an upcoming split with Detroit, and it's certainly something. It may be hard to believe if this is the first you've heard of them, but they're actually reigning in the aggression here, although it's still heavier than 99% of grindcore bands. More importantly, though, this is a great song - definitely the best 34 seconds of music I've heard today.

Blister Unit play a more traditional version of grindcore, and they play it well. Their last album, Christ Ape, was number 5 in my top 5 albums of the year so far, and now they're making their first album, Nodes, available for free here. If you like crust, grind, hardcore, or more or less any other kind of loud, fast music, check it out.
