Produced by Lee and mastered by Colin Marston, the album is razor-sharp where it counts and blissfully murky around the edges, a riff-and-drum focused machine that sends listeners careening like pinballs through the many angles and bounces lying in wait.The Kingdom Fungi adds substantially to the diversity of life, but due to their cryptic morphology and lifestyle, tremendous diversity, paucity of formally described specimens, and the difficulty in isolating environmental strains into culture, fungal communities are difficult to characterize. Reveling in the pure chaos of frenetic blast beats, split-second changeups, and vicious riffs built for neck-snapping mosh action, the band's new album Houkago Grind Time 2: The Second Raid follows up a slew of splits with an emphatic new chapter of maniacal grind. The fact is, Houkago Grind Time is not only legitimate goregrind, it's masterful.

I’d go on a lovely walk with those guys any day. The drum sound is insane and the vocals killer. The aforementioned video accompanies the first song to be heard from the album, “Caravan of Broken Ghosts,” and it’s a fuzzy, groovy, ode to the old. New Darkthrone sounds like old classic metal that is occasionally still found on your local pub’s jukebox and it’s all the more glorious for leaving behind the 90s black metal sound and embracing trad-leaning rock while keeping the essence of the band intact. Or mad at the artwork of Astral Fortress, which is peak modern Darkthrone or a lyric video which is basically a video of someone’s perspective of a nice hike through a forest shot on a mobile phone.
