Agoraphobic Nosebleed

As Grindcore bands go, these guys may not be the most brutal (they're not exactly light listening either), but they are one of the ugliest. Embracing monotony, obnoxiousness, and above all speed, they single-mindedly race through concise, bitter song-like movements. Their 1998 Relapse debut Honky Reduction contained twenty-five tracks, with all but one clocking in at under 1:17. Not for everyone, but for those who appreciate such bands as Anal C*nt (with whom they share members), they're a refreshing breath of foul air.
