Grim Interview


The Seeds of Love, a new ep by Grim, is some nasty and vicious piece of wax. If you're into hardcore that is heavy but not devoid of emotions, it's your stuff right here. I dig this ep cause beside the fact that the band goes hard from start to finish, there's some depth to it as well. Like, it can let you connect with your emotional side without making you feel like a pussy. I respect that. Here's an interview with Kristof who does the vocal duties for the band.

Grim - Demo 2012

Fucking hell, that is some hard-ass shit. Grim definitely is hardcore, but they take a lot of metal influences to give their music more force. It's mid-tempo grooves most of the times, but because they keep their songs rather short it doesn't get boring that fast. Don't know much about the band reall, but I hope to hear more from them in the future! Download it!
