Got the hint from the fine website Lurkerspath, which is one of the best underground webzines for extreme metal and affine forms of art, together with Invisible Oranges.
Well, for me at least.
The band is Dephosphorus, from Greece.
They play grindcore, or better “astro-grindcore”.
First time I heard something like this, but my reactions were similar to when I first heard the space-psych black metal by Oranssi Pazuzu, one of my top fave bands ever.
Fierce, brutal but incredibly, sickly atmospheric and rich in shades taken by various heavy genres (punk, death metal, sludge, black metal, grindcore) where these guys move back and forth. But still you are messed up by grindcore.
These guys are related to other nasty and intriguing bands from the quite stimulating Greek underground scene, like Straighthate, Injekting Khaos, etc.
Dephosphorus’ amazing debut (mini-) album, Axiom, is shared for free download by the band, although it is possible to buy a beautifully packed LP version of it and/or other merch.
You can read the complete review of this awesome debut on the webzine Lurkerspath here.
The tracks in album Axiom were composed in mid 2010. Meanwhile the band guys have recorded 14 new tracks for their debut full-length album “Night Sky Transform”, as well as for a future split-EP. For the new material they worked in collaboration with Ryan Lipynsky (Unearthly Trance, Thralldom (R.I.P.),The Howling Wind).

Well, at fucking last i found the full album for download (for preview purposes only.. of course) and for that i must greet you sir for that kind and generous act. Those greeks must be crazy.. it must be because their financial crisis.
Hahaha ... I had the feeling that all these sick sounds must be the effects of the southern european winds and bad governments ...
I've been championing these guys for a number of months, even petya can tell you that, lurkerspath can fuck off.
Lol ...
well, I wrote that I was the one who got the hint from Lurkerspath, because I am an old lady and my reactions are a bit slowed down so I realise about or get to the things later than you, young dynamic guys ... :-)
this is great, thanks for sharing!
