It's been too long since I posted something legitimately brutal here. The name Cloud Rat is actually a combination of the names of their two favorite bands: Cloudkicker and Mouse Rat (just made that up). But really, they play some stellar Grindcore with a slight Modern Hardcore influence. They remind me a bit of newer Fuck the Facts, but more straight-forward and a little less Metallic. What you may not expect is how effortlessly this album flows, like a concise burst of a live set. The production is nice too, very "live" sounding with good clarity and impact. Of course, the fact that they're a trio and lack a bassist helps create that lean (not thin) and clean sound. You got great riffs, great drumming, scathing vocals, and together they're tight as fuck... what more do you want?
