24 BLOOD COMMAND
WorldDomination
HASSLE / LOYAL BLOOD
For 15 years, Blood Command had made eclecticism their calling card, but the Norwegians’ fifth album considerably upped the ante. Even by previous standards, World Domination’s mix of grindcore, G-funk, hardcore punk, thrash metal, shoegaze and dreampop was a ridiculously wild ride. It could have been an absolute mess in the hands of lesser bands, but Blood Command had such astrong grasp of all genres that they easily nailed every style they tackled. One of 2023’s weirdest, but most exciting albums.
