The big review: Damnation Festival 2024
What happened when Nails, Gatecreeper, Cradle Of Filth and a ton more brought the noise to Manchester for the biggest Damnation Festival yet.
Grindcore? What's up with that?
Former and current members of Wretched, Alterbeast, The Kennedy Veil and Rivers of Nihil have formed Grindfeld, a grindcore band devoted to the classic U.S. sitcom Seinfeld.
“Making light of the mundane drudgery of average daily life is simply a thin veil laid over the nihilistic truths put forth by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld during the quintessential time in our collective generations upbringing,” say the band. “Born out of a mutual love of death metal, comical observations, coffee and Hardcore, Grindfeld is a project built on the existential dread hidden just under the surface of daily life. Each song is a synopsis of an episode, highlighting sitcom televisions’ zenith of quality.”
The band will release their debut EP, 5 Songs About Nothing, on November 23 and you can hear the opening track The Contest on their Bandcamp page.
In the episode which inspired this track, Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer hold a competition to see who can go the longest without masturbating.
