Houkago Grind Time: California anime goregrind project streaming "Ruptured in Akkariin" to sensational-fantastic reaction from devoted fanatic of anime goregrind

Fans of all things grind and anime, reach for your wallet because Houkago Grind Time has arrived to make your dreams come true. This is a one-person project, and we assume that it is a drum machine, reaching to bring the message of anime to the world of grind and brutal metal in general. Here's a dilemma: What if you do not know what anime is? (Seriously, what is it?! Is it a new tasty coffee flavor that I can get at the store? Is it a new-age religion that explains the connection between the Bermuda Triangle, wormholes, marshmallows and the expansion of the universe? We don't know what anime is, and we have no way of ever finding out!) Thankfully, even if you are a poor unfortunate soul (a poor unfortunate soul!) and do not know what anime is, you need to know one thing only: This music goes fast, Angie, I mean, fasssssssst, Angie! There is lots of screaming, gargled sounds and a drum machine that just won't quit. This is the sound of true love. --Metal Bulletin Zine

Houkago Grind Time

Bakyunsified (Moe to the Gore)

Outrageous Weeb Power Productions / Grindfather Productions / Psychocontrol

13 November 2020

The official propaganda from Houkago Grind Time: California one-man mincegore band HOUKAGO GRIND TIME, featuring Andrew Lee (Ripped to Shreds, Azath), will release the debut album Bakyunsified (Moe to the Gore) on 12" gatefold LP and digital format through Outrageous Weeb Power Productions (US), Grindfather Productions (UK), and Psychocontrol Recs (CZ). The album was recorded and mixed at Andrew's Weeb Dungeon studio, and mastered by Colin Marston at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves. Bakyunsified (Moe to the Gore) is a love letter and a statement of devotion to Kyoto Animation's classic moe anime boom of the mid 2000s. Taking cues from K-On, a show full of friendship, growth, and positivity, Bakyunsified rejects the violence and hatred pervading the current state of the world, eschewing the genre conventions of blood, guts, and porn. In a short twenty minutes, HOUKAGO GRIND TIME celebrates the minutiae of otaku culture while simultaneously questioning the validity of substituting true interpersonal relationships for passive consumption of the simulacra of such. Punky Carcass riffs float over a bed of ultra fast blastbeats and dbeats, punctuated by bowel churning pitchshifted gurgles. Pillars of grindcore like Dave (PLF) and Leon (Impaled) contribute guest solos, and Colin Marston's dense mastering ensures that every second of every microsong suffocates the listener beneath a thousand heartwarming fluffs.
