Lycanthrophy's style and delivery is completely unrelenting which makes impossible (and pointless) to pin them to either grindcore or power violence. Punk sections shift to blistering blast beats without a second's notice, frenzied guitar riffs strum out to punk power chord progressions. Measure to measure is like a roller-coaster fashioned after the slimmest W's you've ever seen.
Having never made it across the Atlantic (to my knowledge) there is still hope! Until then, if you find yourself in Europe they seem to get around plenty. On a side note, connecting last week's band of choice, Lycanthrophy covers "No More Feelings" on their split cassette with Neni Uniku. While the cover's nothing much to speak of (the singer sounds like he swallowed the mic and is singing into a sock), it's still a funny coincidence.
For fans of Agathocles, Warsore, Crossed Out, Yacøpsæ, Gride, and Dropdead.

Good luck finding their stuff this side of the Atlantic. I was able to snag the s/t on Discogs, and the split with F.U.B.A.R and the one with Suffering Mind, seem readily available here.

i hate jagr almost as much as i hate ovechkin.
jagr should be strangled with his own mullet.
I don't mind Ovechkin, especially when him and Dubinsky had a go. He's a scorer who plays physical unlike Crysbaby and has an absurd sense of humor.
I coulda gone with "Voukon, the NHL's most under-appreciated goalie" instead of mullet-man.
i'll take crosby's gold medal and cup over ovechkin's annual spring failure.
but my hatred has to do more with being in dc and listening to people who don't understand the game go on and on about how great he is and why they don't understand why he doesn't play 45 minutes a game like in basketball and how he'll single handedly beat other teams. blah blah blah blah.
also that whole skate down the wall, cut the center, pull up in the circles and shoot through a defender's legs move got tired at least two seasons ago.
