Catheter's 2005 album Dimension 303 is an oddly overlooked entry into the grind field, but is actually one of the better hypergrind albums of the

decade. The Denver trio had been kicking it for awhile before they released their debut Preamble For Oblivion, but it's Dimension 303 that

saw the band in top form, mixing pulverizing Napalm Death inspired grind, raw crustcore, punishing sludge/doom metal riffage, and strange rhythmic samples.

The production here is top notch, and the drumming is fucking astounding, with tons of hyperspeed fills and laser guided blastbeats. Catherter's lyrics

tackle alot of the standard grindcore issues, i.e. socio-political issues, apocalyoptic imagery, and getting rowdy at shows, but it's all delivered with lots

of high-energy spirit and savagery. Songs like "Waste Time" and the closer "Outro" dish out some supreme Cathedral worshipping doom metal, and some rad

sampled breakbeats and industrial rhythms pop up out of left field at a couple points throughout the album. Like Disassociate's Symbols, Signals, And

Noise, Catheter's Dimension 303 keeps their grind brutal, catchy and interesting without getting "experimental", and with just a hint of the

weirdness of their buds in the West Bay Doomryderz (Deadbodieseverywhere, Utter Bastard, Kalmex). The album features killer acid-trip artwork from John

Santos.
