HUNGRY LIKE RAKOVITZ

 

COUNTRY: ITALY

FFO: OZMA ERA MELVINS, DEAD IN THE DIRT, HIS HERO IS GONE, THE SECRET

 

if I ever decide to move out of dumpsville ohio, itll be to one of 3 places. Oakland. Portland. or Italy. with out a doubt the 3 best areas of this godforsaken planet that perpetually vomit up the best that metal has to offer. hungry like rakovitz is some prime Italian vomit. I initially scrolled past this when I saw it because I thought the band name was dumb. still kind of do think its dumb and I have no idea what it means and why this rakovitz guy is so hungry but whatever. maybe somethings lost in the translation. anyway I went back and saw they had an integrity cover on their new ep so it piqued my interest. goddfuckingdammit this shit is phenomenal. short kind of disjointed songs that kind of blur together into one long song, which could be a drawback for some but I love it. of all the bands up there that I mentioned the one that I think sticks out is fellow Italians the secret. yeah hungry like rakovitz are spitting out these short sludgy blasts but they have a certain blackness and hatred in the tone that reminds me of the secret (I fucking love them). this is the best shit ive heard all week. they use the tag "grimecore" on their bandcamp page and I really cant think of a better term for whats going on here. get on this shit.
