Previously available only as a bonus 7" that came with the German import vinyl for Agoraphobic Nosebleed's Honky Reduction, this mangy little EP is now available on it's own from R.S.R.; I think that the label must turned up a stray box of these 7"s, as we were only able to get about a dozen or so of these for C-Blast.

Formed by guitarist/bassist/drum machine programmer Scott Hull (who you probably also know from Pig Destroyer, and maybe even his harsh noise project Japanese Torture Comedy Hour) and vokillist/noisician Jay Randall, Agoraphobic Nosebleed take the feral violence of early grindcore and augment that shit with over-the-top modern blast-programming technology, infusing the whirlwind razor-riff attacks with supersonic blastbeats and synthesized jackhammer percussion that goes way beyond what any organic set of arms would be able to pull off.

Titled The Glue That Binds Us, this EP comes in it's own full color jacket, and features thirteen songs of it's own, ten originals and three mind melting covers of Corrosion Of Conformity ("Hungry Child", my favorite C.O.C. song of all time !!!) and DRI ("I'd Rather Be Sleeping" and "I Don't Need Society"). Not just that, but all of the tracks on this EP sound like they had been recorded super hot and in the red, the already-caustic grindcore made all the more corrosive by piling on a thick sheen of white noise and distortion. One of the songs features Aaron Ulcer on vocals, too; Aaron has one of the sickest screams I've ever heard, and his old band Ulcer was one of the best blastcore bands of the 90's, even though they were mostly overlooked by the hardcore scene when they were around, so I was fucking stoked to hear him spew his cheesegrater'd larynx all over the cover of DRI's "I Don't Need Society". Awesome!
