UBRUXUM – MUCHO BRUXISMO - Reviewed By Bravewords ! Check it out here at this link: https://bravewords.com/reviews/ubruxum-mucho-bruxismo

Toronto-based two-piece death metal/grind band Ubruxum start this off right with “The Grind Opening”, a seven-second grindcore rager that immediately has me all ears. However, second song “Mechanically Separated” changes gears a bit to a demo-Carcass grind, and, I mean, I'm still listening, the band's ugly take on raw death metal and grindcore very welcome, the gore-grind rubbing shoulders with sewer-grade DM impressively.

I never, ever say this, but the drum programming sounds great: I actually thought it was real drums (it's sloppy and inconsistent, somehow), and it works really well. And the songs work well, too: “Bashed To Ashes Crushed To Dust”, for example, bashes and crashes (that was easy but it's true) wonderfully, the band tapping into an old-school DM sound and atmosphere that I don't really hear that often, despite listening to lots of modern bands who are tapping into different elements of old-school DM. Love the OTT grinding of songs like “Vertebreaker”, these two guys clearly loving the most antisocial strains of death and grind, which means it's an instant winner for me, the sound this band channelling here being about as pure musical filth as sound can be.

“Intestinal Rupture” is peak DM noise, like Mortician at their worst, which is a good thing, while the five-minute “Denied Reincarnation” dips its toes into some blackened sounds. Ubruxum refer to their music as “teeth-grinding metal” and I gotta say, that's about right, everything about this one about as uncomfortable and horrifying as teeth getting ground down to nothing, hideous little stumps, music that serves no purpose but to make things worse. Good job! - Bravewords

Not your granddaddy’s metal, yank your teeth out to Ubruxum! Ubruxum are a 2-piece Canadian deathgrind metal band from Toronto. Formed by guitarist Jim Kollins and bassist Daniel Andreas. Since 2019, they have been pioneering a new subgenre they call Teeth Grinding Metal. This new style of metal fuses intense elements of grind core and death metal, that will make a non-bruxer grind their teeth. First full-length album Mucho Bruxismo released Halloween 2021 in digital and CD format. With Jim on guitars and vocals, and Daniel on bass and vocals, Mucho Bruxismo showcases Ubruxum’s brutally aggressive short-fused personalities throughout 13 violent life-threatening tracks. Mucho Bruxismo examines themes of death and vomiting dental gore. No laws no religion, only Ubruxum. Inspired by the criminally insane, the band is currently working on a new concept EP called 'Bruxumaniacs', that they plan to release in May 2022.
