I've loved pretty much every Napalm Death side project, but I haven't heard this one. It's pretty much sticking Lou Koller straight into mid-era Napalm Death, but with some Godflesh touches, and "Suspension" even has some Killing Joke/Joy Division vibes to it. I just ordered this from Amazon. Totally made my day! Holy crap, this was awesome. I've loved pretty much every Napalm Death side project, but I haven't heard this one.

And I remember really liking Shane's similar project Malformed Earthborn with the Brutal Truth guys. Oh, the Meathook Seed releases are totally different. These guys don't quit with the endless projects. Jesse Pintado played me a demo once of songs he'd written on a second-hand violin! Here's Mitch and Shane's Little Giant Drug, some Pink Floyd inspired rock (for a change?): http://www.myspace.com/littlegiantdrug Blood From the Soul is nice–bleak, soulful stuff.

I got the record just after it came out - I still think it is awesome... especially THAT riff in 'Suspension of my disbelief'! Lou's voice was really scathing around the time of Just Look Around and it really fitted the music here. Hopefully Shane will stick to a similar formula on any second album... I mean, how different were the two Meathook Seed albums?! Great post as I have searched the web for info on this band over the years and found very little.

I have to admit that I didn't care for it to much where as I thought the first Meathook Seed (bought that one directly from Mitch at a ND show - Utopia Banished tour) fucking destroyed. Personally, if the dude from Sigh is on the new one, I'd be all over that shit as Lou's vocals just didn't do it for me on this release at all.

I wasn't enthusiastic at all to read that an album was planned under the Blood From the Soul name with the dude from Sigh instead, as that's just not the same at all. But if the same two got together for another record I'd be psyched as hell to see what came of it... THAT would be awesome.
