If the universe imploded upon itself, and the resultant chaos was recorded, it might sound a little like Nails. These sonic terrorists from Southern California take everything they do beyond extremes, into a slamming, thrashing, roaring world where other bands fear to tread. Hardcore, grindcore, thrashcore, and more are ground down to a primal but deceptively controlled attack that makes you think these guys should have called themselves Hammers instead.
