User blog:Full Yeti Grand Master/MORBID CLOWN Frontman Talks Grind

Lanny "E.T." Gordon, the founder/frontman of the Florida noisegrind band Morbid Clown, talks about his favorite grind albums of all time.

10: We Hate EP
One of the classics of doom/grind and a foundation for slam/grind. This little 5-track EP by Urtek is crushingly heavy and very chaotic.

Top track: "Political Fairies"

9: Pax Romana
More death than grind, but Octavian's Pax Romana is absolutely amazing. What sets it apart is the atmosohere: very unerving and dark.



8: Kistvaen
Kistvaen is an underground grind classic. Malefic before they were blackened. Low production quality is made up for by the skill and sheer intensity.



7: Ritual to the Great Beast EP
Yeti's groundbreaking EP. The foundation of doom/grind. Very underrated classic. What sets it apart is the perfect mixture of grind, sludge, and ethereal synth parts. Highly recommended.



6: Spire of Corpses
I guess this is the first "gore" album on my list. Toxic Ingestion has sickening lyrics, technical instrumentation, and of course pure grinding chaos.

Top track: "Goremonger"

5: Defoliant
A definitive grind classic. I would rank this alongside Scum and World Downfall. Side B kicks the most ass.



4: War Beast
This is Shepherd of Darkness's upcoming second album. I got a chance to listen to the rough mix when Morbid Clown played live with them. This just might dominate their first album.



3: Kraken Machine
I know I sang on this one, but Kraken Machine will always be on of my favorites. Grind on brothers!



2: Armored Column
The progressive, melodic side of grind. Entrenched have always been a favorite of mine, and this album tops their discography.

Top track: "All Things Dead"

1: Suffocated
Funeral grinding insanity. This album is crushing on a whole new level. Pure classic.

Top tracks: "Razor Wire Carnage" and "Corpsefield"
