Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism

Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism cover art

Almost four decades into their career, the grindcore pioneers prove they haven't lost a fraction of their intensity or political ire. The record masterfully balances their traditional, blistering deathgrind velocity with challenging forays into dissonant post-punk and bleak industrial metal. Barney Greenway's lyrics sharply critique right-wing populism, xenophobia, and the ongoing mistreatment of refugees globally.
