2026 - 6 - 23 /// Mal Criado released + t-shirts on sale!
Mal Criado’s ‘Ni Todo La Tierra Entera’ released this past Friday on Tomb Tree! The 13 jams exude anger, dissatisfaction, and inequality at the horseshit system in place, all wrapped in a nasty powerviolence tortilla. Mmmm, so good!
On this record, Orphan Donor is a heaving, lumbering lump of organic sound matter, moving along like a giant deformed creature floating down a river of molten lava. And that perfect mental image owes a huge deal to James Revelle, the artist responsible for the band’s unique visual identity since 2020. Think Mike Diana on a bad acid trip; not the go-to art direction for a self prescribed skramz band, but nothing that Orphan Donor does is run of the mill.
For a few years I had the idea of doing the Eight Feet Under split series. It would contain bands from four countries, be two bands from each country, thus totaling eight bands over two 12”s, each supplying an EPs worth of material. The first one was fucking amazing, but the second installment had some bands drop and I just kinda axed it. Truly a bummer. I do have one last copy of the first and only edition of this series which contains Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket, Via Fondo, Sleeper Wave, Youth Novel, The World That Summer, Nous Etions, Lamantide, and Pastel - thus making it today’s Last Fucking Copy! Snag it now below or forever hold your peace.
Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LORRREL = Hot damn this new EP smacks!
