R.I.P. Phil Vane

some sad news to report...earlier this week Phil Vane, vocalist for Extreme Noise Terror, passed away and grindcore lost a legend...it shocked me to hear of this, considering Phil was only 46, but apparently the story is that he passed away in his sleep....gone but never forgotten, his music and spirit will live on forever...E.N.T. has always held a special place in my heart...when i was a young punk rocker i found a patch with the Extreme Noise Terror logo at the local hardcore record store and i immediately snatched it up and sewed it onto my favorite hat that i wore all the time, i had never seen a patch like that before, or since (i lost the hat at a hardcore show but thats a whole other story) while being one of the best hardcore crust punk bands, in my opinion, E.N.T. also became very influential in grindcore with their dual vocal attack...Phil Vane also sang for Napalm Death for a short while, so yeah, it goes without saying this guy was legendary in the scene and definitely will be missed....

heres probably one of the heavier albums Extreme Noise Terror ever released, and also one of my favorites because not only do you have Phil and Dean from E.N.T. doing vocals, you also got Barney Greenway from Napalm Death thrown into the mix and the result is fucking amazing...not taking anything away from Napalm Death because i love them just as much as E.N.T., but i would have liked to see Barney do another album with E.N.T. cause this one is so good
