Terminus Episode 172 - Prophecy of Doom and Righteous Pigs - Lost Proto-Grindcore Gems

We have to go back, bros. In today's episode of Terminus, your hosts travel back to 1990 to cover two obscure records close to their hearts, each operating in the primordial ooze of death metal, grindcore, thrash, and hardcore, but with completely contrasting sounds. TBMG brings to the occasion Prophecy of Doom, whose 1990 record resembles Deviated Instinct or early Bolt Thrower but with a demented industrial-stench aesthetic all their own. TDMG's plus one: Righteous Pigs, who create what sounds like modern crowdkilling hardcore out of thrash riffs and jazz drumming.
