Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Hongky Reduction

This was the first full length studio album by these Massachusetts Grindcore leading band - Agoraphobic Nosebleed, released in 1998 under Relapse Records. For almost a decade, Agoraphobic Nosebleed has been providing us with pure acid grind. Starting as two-piece (most notably on Honkey Reduction) Jay Randoll (vocals) and Scott Hull (guitar, drum programming) set out to alter our way of listening to music and redefined the grindcore genre.
Contains 26 tracks, this album was massive Blazing hardcore in the finest traditions of power violence and blur. All songs are incredibly well structured and this gets me to the next point, another huge difference in this album is that all the songs are individual tracks, I mean this album has a concept yes, but it is not like every other conceptual album with all of the songs attached to each other, in Honky Reduction you will be able to know when a song ends and the next one begins, and the context is still there with a lot of power and supremacy. The drum machine belts out beats that are just flat out punishing to the ears and faster than any human drummer could do without an injury. Former A.C. guitarist Scott Hull puts out some nice low tuned riffing madness and vocalist Jay Randall has the perfect balance between low grindcore growls and screams. In this 18 grueling minutes and 26 songs you will find yourself wanting more. Enjoy!
