Timeline
Wristmeetrazor is a screamo/metalcore band that originally started as a solo project in Washington, D.C. in 2017.

History
The band started out as a project by guitarist Jonah Thorne, taking it's name from a Usurp Synapse song. Taking heavy influence from the early-2000s hardcore scene, the trio would then issue two extended plays I Talk to God... and ...But the Sky is Empty digitally through their bandcamp page and on various physical formats through a variety of labels. As a result of the members living in different states in the country, each member of the band had to record their parts at separate locations, emailing them to each other in order for them to be mixed.

With the recruitment of new drummer Bryan Prosser, the band would be signed onto Prosthetic Records in 2018 for the release of their debut full-length Misery Never Forgets. Featuring artwork from Pg.99 vocalist Chris Taylor, the album was released digitally on January 18, 2019, with physical releases being issued on CD and LP formats. Tracks such as "XOXO (Love Letter from a Loaded Gun)" and "Insecurity Checkpoint" were released as singles to help promote the record.

errorzone
Errorzone is the first full-length album by American hardcore punk band Vein, which was released on June 22, 2018 through Closed Casket Activities. Noted by critics for taking influence from nu-metal, mathcore, and screamo, the album has gained praise for it's style. To promote the record, music videos were produced for the tracks "Virus://Vibrance" and "Demise Automation". The album peaked at #21 on the hard rock Billboard chart within it's first week of release.

Demo version of the tracks "Old Data in a Dead Machine", "Quitting Infinity", and "Untitled" were previously released as a free download on the group's bandcamp page, but was taken down as they were reworked for this record.

Reception
In both their early and finalized lists, Revolver named the album as among the best releases of 2018. Similarly, David Anthony and Alex McLevy named it as one of the best punk and hardcore albums of the year in an article written for The A.V. Club. Writing for Exclaim!, Connor Atkinson describes the record as "an impressive and unique offering of screamo and 90s metalcore anguish" that "briefly loses sight of [Vein's] end-game about halfway through."

Among other publications, Pitchfork writer Andy O'Conner pointed out the band's inclusions of stylistic elements associated with nu-metal and hardcore punk bands from the 1990s, describing it as "retro-futuristic". Errorzone has been described as nu-metalcore, mathcore, metalcore, hardcore, and screamo.

Fear of God (Swiss band)
Fear of God were a grindcore band from Switzerland, originally forming in 1987 under the name Bunch of Lies. Their existence was brief, for they broke up due to conflicting interests in October that next year. However, they recorded frequently, resulting in a multitude of releases made under the band's name which gained popularity through underground tape-trading circles. The band is now seen to be part of the first-wave of grindcore bands that helped define the genre, and have since gained a cult following.

The group would reform in 1992, however this reunion lasted for only two weeks. They would reunite again in 2002 to play a string of shows before again dissolving in 2003. Band members have gone on to work on a number of musical projects. Vocalist Erich Keller, for example, would continue to run the label Off the Disk Records. Guitarist Reto Kühne and bassist Dave Phillips would both go on to perform in the band Messiah. Phillips also continued his musical career by with his own experimental music, even creating two albums worth of remixes created from Fear of God recordings.

In/Humanity
In/Humanity was a hardcore punk band from Columbia, South Carolina that first formed in 1992 by vocalist Chris Bickel and guitarist Paul Swanson. During their time as a band, they issued two full-length albums and eight 7" EPs, and they jokingly coined the term "emoviolence", a term now used to describe a fusion genre that combines screamo with powerviolence.

pageninetynine
'''Pg. 99 (also spelled pageninetynine''') was a punk rock band from Sterling, Virginia, a town on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. They are considered one of the pioneers of screamo. The band formed as a six-piece in late 1997 and later expanded to an eight-piece. They would occasionally enlist the services of an additional musician or two for a live song but were never more than an eight-piece composed of two singers, three guitarists, two bassists and a drummer. Pg.99 was known for their intense live shows.

1997-2002: Existence
Pg. 99 made many US tours and a European tour during their tenure. They released 11 records as a total over their various record companies.

2003-2010: Hiatus
After several US tours, a European tour, and numerous releases, they disbanded in May 2003. Before officially breaking up, Pg.99 booked Steve Albini of Shellac and Big Black as their producer for a follow-up to Document No. 8. Guitarist Mike Taylor cited struggles with maintaining a large line-up due to schedule conflicts, and issues with drinking as major reasons for why Pg. 99 broke up. Taylor also said, "It was like a dysfunctional family where a group of people needed to give each other some space and clarity." Four of the members would go on to perform in Pygmy Lush.

Two releases completed before the group's break up have yet to see light: a DVD compiling various live footage, and a split 10" with City of Caterpillar containing both bands' last songs recorded.

2011: Reunion shows
Pg. 99 performed a one-off reunion performance in August 2011. The group performed Document No. 8 in its entirety at the Best Friend's Day festival in Richmond, Virginia. When asked about the future of the band, Taylor said: "We felt that if [Best Friend's Day] went well—how we play, how we sound, how we felt—we'd be up for more. If we're going to do it, it's gotta be right and has to feel good. Community is one of the things that made Pg. 99 gigs so special." After the Best Friend's Day festival sold out, Pg.99 scheduled a second performance on August 27, 2011 at The Black Cat in Washington, DC.

In a group interview with NPR, Pg.99 was asked about the possibility of recording new material, and several of the members gave conflicting responses. Chris Taylor was content writing and releasing new music with Pygmy Lush, and said, "The only reason to realistically do that is being an old fogey and not making any money and being like, 'This could make us some money.'" However, Mike Taylor said he would be interested in "learning some more songs and doing something small."

Style
Pg. 99 is commonly seen as a screamo band, although the band has expressed some distaste of the label and prefers to be seen as simply punk rock instead. They're also seen as an emoviolence band, mostly due to their grindcore influences. Earlier releases showed the band playing a more straightforward style that's heavily influenced by hardcore punk and grindcore, while later releases showed the band experimenting with progression and atmosphere, such as Document #7.

All of the bands releases where known as "documents", according the guitarist Mike Taylor, this was done because

Terse Tapes was an independent record label founded and operated by Tom Ellard, Richard Fielding, and Andrew Wright of Severed Heads, named after the TRS-80 home computer. The label focused and specialized in home dubbed cassette releases by local experimental music artists before it was purged in 1982. While mostly focusing on the cassette tape format, there were a few vinyl record releases, such as the split record Ear Bitten/No Vowels, No Bowels. The lack of interest in the vinyl format was mostly due to the fact that cassettes were cheaper and easier to release.

The label, while small, gained a sort of following within Australia, local publications wrote about them often. Rolling Stone once refereed to the label as "adventurous and ambitious and successful at that". Terse Tapes' "intent" was to have fun and create art.

Op (2002)
The first Op album was released in 2002 and was packaged in a DVD case. After it's initial release, customers of Op reported technical problems with the album itself, such as the fact that it could not be played on certain CD players, which led to the group's announcement of Op2.0. This was due to the disc itself, for it contained both video and audio files, causing reading issues with most disc players. While Op2.0 was in production, downloadable "upgrades" were offered for free to any customer of the first Op album.

Op 1.2 (2004)
Op 1.2 was the second recording released in the Op series. The tracks on this recording was initially released as free downloads to whoever ordered the first Op album before they were released as their own album in 2004. Initial copies came packaged in a special Variopac case, while later pressings were packaged in standard CD jewel cases.

Op 2.0 (2005)
Op 2.0 was first released in April 2005, packaged in a DVD case. It contains new versions of tracks from Op and Op 1.2. The track "Offcuts" is made up of material intended for other tracks.

Op 2.5 (Millenium Cheesecake) (2005)
Op 2.5 (Millenium Cheesecake) was the fourth release in the Op series. Most of the material recorded was intended to be used in a collaborative album that never came out. About 100 copies were packaged in blank jewel cases with bits of plastic of all shapes and sizes left inside the case itself, this is referred to as the "toy edition".

Op 3 (2007)
Op 3 is the fifth consecutive release in the Op series, originally released as a free download on the group's website. The album is divided into three "sides", tracks 1 through 6 being "side one", tracks 7 through 10 being "side two", and the final five tracks, recorded during a live performance from Unsound '06 on October 6, 2006, making up "side three". Let it also be note that this was the final album released by Severed Heads to contain newly recorded material before their dissolution in 2008.

Op (chOPped) (2011)
Op (chOPped) is considered as the sixth and final release in the Op series. It initially began as Op 4 in 2009 in an attempt to remix and remastered every single track on every single Op album.

Cuddlemonster is the only studio album by the American mathcore band The Sawtooth Grin, as well as being their only officially released recording. Released in early 2001 on compact disc format through Dead By 1918, the album is currently out-of-print and rather rare. The label was initially set up by a friend of the band for the sole purpose of releasing the album, and only around 300 copies were made. The cover artwork was done by vocalist Rich Lombardi on MS Paint. Drummer Thomas Robertine was only 16 years old when the album was recorded.

In 2012, it was announced that the album would be pressed on vinyl and would include the Pervavor extended play, however no futher information was released and the LP never surfaced.

Vinyl Communications was an independent record label founded in 1986 by Bob Beyerley, guitarist of Neighborhood Watch. Formed in Chula Vista, California, the label initially focused on issuing releases for punk rock bands, but as time developed, the label became closer associated with electronic and experimental music. Most recordings issued by the label tend to be political in nature, particularly with left-wing ideologies.

Vinyl Communications was also the name of a record store that Beyerley operated from 1988 to 1989 in Chula Vista.

Steve Austin has mentioned that the music and bands released by record labels such as Earache Records and Touch and Go Records played a major role in the development of the band's style. Some of the bands that Austin cited as major influences include Death, Slayer, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Motörhead, U2, Napalm Death, Butthole Surfers, Eyehategod, Miles Davis, Neurosis, Morbid Angel, Unsane, Melvins and The Jesus Lizard. The band is considered by critics as an important part of the development of metal-related music during the mid to late 1990's. Last Rites editor Andrew Edmunds mentioned in his review of Supernova on how it "would lay the groundwork for a seemingly never-ending wave of spastic metal bands". Patrick Kennedy of allmusic described Supernova as a "landmark recording". In 2017, Decibel Magazine included Temple of the Morning Star in their "Hall of Fame" list.

Timeline
GRAVESEND!!!!

Gravesend is a 1996 criminal drama film directed by Salvatore Stabile.

Plot summary
After a quick narration by director Stabile, as well as a flash forward, the film's plot begins with Zane, Mikey, Ray, and Chicken spending a Saturday night in Ray's basement. Throughout the film, the backgrounds of the four young men are explained by Stabile during scenes which pertain to the respected characters the most: Ray's parents died while he was young, which left him to be raised by his older brother Mark. Their upbringing together was bitter and would result in violent tendencies to grow between them. Zane grew up without a father, and had trouble staying in schools before ultimately being kicked out of his mother's house due to his behavior. Chicken developed drug habits at an early age as a result of witnessing the murder of his older brother, and his mother abandoned him when he was 15. Mikey, who experienced his parent's miserable marriage firsthand, was often humiliated and abused by the rest of the group and had at least two previous instances in which he attempted to commit suicide.

Early into their night, the four get into an argument which wakes up Mark and leads to him getting into a fight with Zane. In attempt to intimidate Mark, Zane points what he believed to be an unloaded pistol at him, resulting in Mark being fatally shot by accident. The group contemplates sending Mark to a hospital or contacting authorities, however Zane instead forces the group to have the corpse be buried by his associate JoJo the Junkie out of fear of being arrested for murder. Naturally this would cause severe tensions to grow between Ray and Zane, with the two splitting the group into factions through out the rest of the movie.

After getting into a fight and avoiding getting their car towed away, the group convinces JoJo to help. JoJo, a local drug dealer with a history of violence and arrests, agrees to bury Mark's body for a payment of $500 and a severed thumb. The group spends the rest of the night doing various criminal acts in attempt to scrap up money, such as a failed drug deal and an armed robbery at a convenience store. Eventually, the group goes to Mikey's home to borrow money from his father, where they find him having an affair with another woman. Getting into a heated argument, Mikey takes Zane's pistol and kills both his father and the woman he's with, adding to the group's bodycount.

Finally, Mikey manages to borrow the money from his sister. JoJo, however, refuses to bury all three bodies. Instead, the group leaves two of them at his basement and drives off with one in the trunk. They park the car nearby the beach, sleeping for the rest of the night. The next morning, Mikey leaves the group to jump off a bridge onto a freeway below, killing himself. Zane shoots Ray, and Chicken shoots Zane while he attempts to dump Ray's body in the car. Chicken finally douses the car and the bodies in gasoline, setting it on fire which kills him as well. The film concludes with Stabile explaining that he moved out of Gravesend afterwards, and that the police investigation ended after a few months of questioning.

Production
Gravesend initially started as a novel written by Salvatore Stabile at the age 15, with the characters partially inspired by close friends of his. Stabile, who later attended a film course at New York University, was inspired to turn the story into a movie after watching Kevin Smiths Clerks. Using $5,000 in inheritance he received from his grandmother's passing, filming for the feature began in 1994 and took about three years to complete, with only a 16mm camera utilized due to costs. Due to the tight budget, Stabile was only able to hire actors willing to perform for free. After gaining the attention of investors with the yet-to-be-finished material, Stabile was granted an addition $60,000 to use for post-production, and eventually Steven Spielberg and Oliver Stone convinced Manga Entertainment and Island Digital to distribute it after meeting Stabile.

Release and reception
The film made its screen debut during the 1996 Seattle International Film Festival, and it later made its European debut at the London Film Festival. After acquiring the distribution deal, the film received another screening in New York on September 5, 1997, and later began screening in Los Angeles later that month. In 1998, the film was released on home video VHS and DVD formats through Palm Pictures.

Critical Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a "certified fresh" score of 60% based on 10 critic reviews. Roger Ebert gave the film two stars out of a possible four, concluding his review by stating that "there are flashes of life here, a feeling of immediacy in the camera style, a lot of energy--and promise. But it’s not yet the movie he’s probably capable of." Writing for The New York Times, Stephen Holden criticized the movie's plot and characters, ultimately dismissing it.

Soundtrack
To promote the film, a soundtrack album was released through Island Records. It combines the score (composed by Bill Laswell) with tracks contributed by various artists. A music video for Lordz of Brooklyns track "Gravesend (Lake of Fire)" was produced, featuring clips from the film.
