about
"Logroño, Spain's Ernia kicks its way onto the Already Dead Tapes' roster with their self-titled album. Recorded between 2013 and 2015, 'Ernia' smashes itself into your earholes and doesn't let up for the full run time.
Blending the lines between death metal, grindcore, metalcore, skate punk, and classic heavy metal, this is one face smash of an album. The band 'shares a love for fast music and dumb jokes,' and apparently their like-mindedness pays off by way of brutal, heavy riffs on the backs of grinding drums and screeching vocals.
This album reminds me of wonderful days in the mid-00s: white belts, skinny jeans, and bare-knuckle brawls of live shows. This could have easily been a band that I was in love with in my early 20s along with bands like Converge, Me and Him Call It Us, Hewhocorrupts, Every Time I Die, and Minus. But here I am, in my late 30s, and still loving the hell out of this sound. Grindcore is one of my favorite sub-genres of metal, and this album is quickly rising in the ranks of one of the best to do it in the past ten or so years. Ernia is hella powerful here in 2019 and creating the right kinda shrieking fun that we all need right now."

Present Tense
by FACSsupported by 6 fans who also own “Ernia”
I'm very selective about what I let take up space on vinyl in my house but I can only buy this on vinyl because the drums, among everything else, sound so fucking good and it's gotta go on the good speakers. Really glad to have discovered this band.

Sun Ra & Pharoah Sanders are two of my favorite musicians of all time. Having the two (amongst a cast of other legends) take me to other spiritual planes is a grand experience.

Buck II: Where Do You Want It? (NRR119)
by Buck Youngsupported by 5 fans who also own “Ernia”
Pushed play for the Giant Scorpion-Killing-Red State-Gumby-Dog People, but continued listening for the unhinged, psychedelic, country-western, cactus-flavoured, sound-looping, Zappaesque weirdness and apparent lack of conventional awareness that this is not how accessible music is made. I'm odd that way.
