Nasum - Shift (2004)

Nasum's official 'grind finale' before releasing a 'best of' collection under that title, Shift contains some of this band's finest moments ever. From the explosive opener "Particles" and the menacing closer "Darkness Falls," this is not the average stop-and-start grindcore fare. Countless sites and magazines have reviewed this band and this album in particular with tons of praise for different reasons, and you can hear for yourself why this is considering such an important metal record regardless of how recent it is or what genre it is slipped into. Grind is not just Brutal Truth, Bathtub Shitter or Anal Cunt! They also released one of their only official music videos ever through this record for the song "Wrath," which is different for a Nasum song but no less pissed or heavy. R.I.P. Mieszko Talarczyk.

Nasum - Doombringer (Live) (2008)

Sweden's Nasum recorded this album in Osaka, Japan on January 9, 2004 at Club Quattro and is the final nail in the coffin (hopefully) for the Nasum legacy. I have become rather bored of live albums over time but this is beautiful; Nasum, in about 25 minutes running time, are able to keep it intense sounding enough to keep your interest all the way through and accomplish what some bands take almost an hour and a half doing, or multiple albums even. The sound is crisp, Mieszko sounds pissed the way we like it and the band keeps it tight, and it makes you feel jealous that many of us here in the United States never got to see this in person as we intended following the success of "Shift."
