Instrumental grind duo Pound play a super groovy, mathy form of the genre. Using a nine-string baritone guitar and two drum kits positioned at a 90-degree angle, Pound are able to take their music in fresh directions. Just listen to new song ” x.—.x.—.x.—.x.—” for an example—the mathy chaos shares as many similarities with The Dillinger Escape Plan and Meshuggah as it does with other grindcore bands.
” x.—.x.—.x.—.x.—” comes from Pound’s eponymously-titled debut album, which comes out on July 13 via Silent Pendulum. Preorders are also available through Pound, who have merch bundles available.
