Bamseom Pirates (밤섬해적단)

As mentioned previously, there's a new (maybe not that new) band featuring the dude who used to record under the name of Pyha (폐허). The music of Pyha was a Burzum esque blast of black hatefulness. The awesome label Tumult (associated with the awesome record store Aquarius) out of San Francisco released some Pyha recordings a couple of years ago or so. The thing is all those records are 8 years old, when the guy was studying away in middle school. Well, he's back, and if you check the Hardworlders backlog, you'll find a live review of his new band Bamseom Pirates. It is a different beast, and definitely not black metal, but entertaining. A bit like a wackier Napalm Death meets some kind of military punk/metal hybrid. Heavy, fast, and hard to describe, it gives me faith in the future of Korean metal/hardcore. Anyhoo, I found their cd a while back, and I'm gonna post it up on here because I know no one will be able to find it that doesn't live in Korea. Dang good stuff. Here's to the future of extreme Korean music. I hope there's more from these guys coming soon.

Here's a fresh link to the album via Mediafire: Bamseom Pirates
