Spinefarm
Producer: Russ Russell
Formed in 1998, the legend of English extreme metal band Raging Speenhorn is as gloriously gnarly and wonderfully infamous as the cacophonous noise that they produce. This writer was once at an awards ceremony in London where they proceeded to mercilessly torment alt-rockers Placebo. Here, songs such as the snappy “Buzz Killa” and the super sludgy “The Blood Code” serve as a stark reminder that nobody pummels quite like this lot.
