Some people don't understand the appeal of tapes. It may be lo-fi and have degrading quality, it's the cheapest way to get your music out there in a physical format. Plus it's perfect for something like metal or punk, because the more you listen, the crunchier those guitars get and and the more vicious the band sounds. Some of my favorite punk and hardcore releases of this year came out on tape, including the Inmates cassette, the new Crazy Spirit, and that vicious new World War IV demo.Add another one to that list, this time from Chris Ulsh's primitive death metal-inflected monster Mammoth Grinder, who have the new Cosmic Crypt cassette available at the merch table for a string of dates with Power Trip. Stream the Cosmic Crypt cassette (Rudimentary Peni cover included!) in full for the first time, and catch them on the road at the dates below.
