Top 15 Punk/Hardcore/Grind/Powerviolence Releases I Heard in 2023

1) ROTTEN SOUND (FINLAND) - Apocalypse (Season of Mist) Addictive, very aggressive, and unusually well-written.  I can't stop listening to it.  Their best work so far that I've heard.  The buzz around this album is completely justified.  GET IT NOW!!! https://rottensound.bandcamp.com/album/apocalypse 2) SUPPRESSION & BASTARD NOISE (US) - Infernal Legions LP (Anthems of the Undesirable) They finally did something together (it's a collab...) and naturally, it's weird, incredible, and groundbreaking.  This is the next step in the evolution of powerviolence.  Straight up. https://theundesirable.bandcamp.com/album/suppression-with-bastard-noise-infernal-legions-undesirable-027 3) SHITGRINDER (AUSTRALIA) - s/t (Headsplit and RSR) Grindcore from Down Undah that you'll find yourself going back to ovah and ovah, oi!!! https://shitgrindershit.bandcamp.com/album/shitgrinder 4) PROLAPSE (US) - Chaos Noise Supremacy Demo (Self-Released) "DUDE.  Thanks for telli...
