10" Dead In The Water
|
s/t 3 (winter)
Heavy metalic hc from Finland. It's even better than their 7". The covers are damaged by water. the vinyl is still good though. Good record!
|
|
10" Fire Team Charlie
|
s/t 7 (Adagio830)
Flashback to the 90's indeed. The promo bit on the adagio site is pretty right about this. Think Policy Of 3, Frail, Inkwell, Amber Inn.. oh you know the works. Even the cover was probably drawn in 1994. Emo!
|
|
10" June Paik
|
s/t 8 (React With Protest)
Five new songs by this german band. Dark and emotional heaviness, a wall of sound, melancholic quietness explode into chaos. Shikari en Envy guitarwork coming nicely together.
|
|
10" La Quiete
|
La fine non e la fine 8 (React With Protest)
Repress. This is a modern day classic for sure. From Italy combining the best parts of Orchid and Portraits Of Past. Must have.
|
|
10" Lady Tornado / The Infarto Scheisse
|
split 8 (Concubine, Shove)
Two times Italy here. Lady Tornado consists of ex-members and current members of death of anna karina, by all means etc etc. It has a huge production. Agressive emo-violence. The infarto Scheisse! choose a somewhat similar approach but more hectic. Seems like the italian scene is very good in picking up the Orchid/Neil Perry kind of thing. Nice!
|
|
10" Me and Goliath
|
s/t 8 (Internationale, Parade of Spectres)
Great Uk band here. This is screamo allright but done the right way. They remind me in a way of a Hot Cross or Off Minor if they be from the 90's. MAG have a mdern sound with the twinkly guitars but with a great older vibe. I like this a lot.
|
|
10" Moloch
|
s/t 8 (Feast Of Tentacles)
Angry, pissed off sludge from the UK. This must appeal to fans of Iron Monkey or Eyehategod. They hate everything and especialy life. enjoy!
|
|
10" Mouthbreather
|
Lila 8 (Adagio830)
A new release by these ex wow owls, the set up folks. Five songs of raw pissed off hardcore that reminds me of Burn. I know that exactly waht the label says but it's in fact true. Mix some Light the Fuse and Run in it and a healthy punkvibe and there you have it. Good stuff
|
|
10" Shermer/The machines will take over
|
split 3 (sncl etc.)
Nice! two Uk bands doing a very melodic hot water music sort of thing. especialy shermer stands out. looking forward hearing more from them.
|
|
10" Shotgun Wedding
|
Long Live Artificial 1 (lotsof love)
|
|
10" Solanki
|
s/t 3 (flat earth)
Great UK band from the 90's. Seems like an almost forgotten release. For fans of minutemen this is a must have. Great stuff.
|
|
10" Thank God / Monarcs
|
split 3 (mashnote)
Nice! Thnak God are ex-GPL and the guitarsound is very much like that band. This is weirder though. Less straight forward, more freaky. Good stuff. Monarcs do their thing in the more Hot Cross/ Of minor kinda way. But good enough to stand on their own. Two great bands on one split. Must have.
|
|
10" Unison
|
The Sum 3 (Rimbaud)
Fast hardcore from Serbia. It's got a nice punkrock feel to it. The real fast ones remind of stuff like Zeke. Good vibe, filthy.
|
|
10" Zodiac
|
Rasierter Affe 8 (7degrees)
Five tracks of raging metallic hardcore. It has some Bremen era mixed with something that wouldn't be too far from a Cursed song. Well ok it's more metal. Cool stuff. Excellent political lyrics which are all in German nut i guess you could expect that from the singer who used to be in Age (!!!).
|
|
12"/lp A.I.
|
Discography 10 (Purepainsugar)
All the 7" output from this Japanese band on one 12". You know what you'll get. Fast and pissed of over the top Japanese hardcore
|
|
12"/lp Adorno
|
one sided 8 (we love pandas)
Good grooving melodic screamo from Portugal. Good stuff, nice flow.
|
|
12"/lp After The Last Sky
|
Is This Progress? 3 (right to refuse)
Black metal crust from the UK. Well that's not entirely fitting but it's creepy and dark. Think some doom, crust and grind but not over-the-top metal. Mean record, good lyrics.
|
|
12"/lp Agents of Abhorrance
|
Character Dissection 9 (Crucificados)
Yeah! Aussie grindcore. This is a one sided 12". It has 9 songs of Discordance Axis like madness. This rules
|
|
12"/lp Altercado
|
El Ruido y la rabia 3 (les nains aussi)
Great punk from Chile. Has that Crudos touch it but it's faster. Very well done.
|
|
12"/lp Annhilation Time
|
II 10 (diy)
"II" is the second record from Southern California's degenerate drug-punkers Annihilation Time. Leaving the Black Flag/Bl'ast! worship of their previous releases in a burning van somewhere between the desert and the Pacific, Annihilation Time return with a record influenced heavily by The Stooges, Alice Cooper and early Deep Purple yet still staying true to their punk roots which lie with Black Flag and early cult bands such as Ill Repute, Sick Pleasure, and the Germs. With the addition of new guitarist Shaun Filley (Gordon Solie Motherfuckers), Annihilation Time found the missing link in creating their over the top sound, combining snotty '80s hardcore with vicious '70s proto-punk. Now available again on vinyl with one additional bonus track.
|
|
12"/lp Antillectual
|
Testimony 9 (Shield)
Antillectual is back Melodic political punk. For fans of Propagandhi, Strike Anywhere, Rise Against and Hot Water Music. Great production which does them justice. Sing along.
|
|
12"/lp Asedio
|
s/t 3 (Contraszt)
Metal influenced dark crust from members of Ekkaia, Nashgul and Black Panda. Overall heaviness.
|
|
12"/lp Battle of Wolf 359
|
The Death Of Affect 8 (React With Protest)
Euroskramz. Well, from the UK actualy. Think somewhere between Neil Perry and Shikari. Good stuff.
|
|
12"/lp Bickle's Cab
|
s/t 3 (Pain Of Mind)
Uk fast and crust. Raging record.
|
|
12"/lp Black Blood World /Eskatol
|
split 3 (Nakkeskudd)
2x new Norwegian d-beat-ish crust. Both play it dark and mean. Eskatol is my favorite here. They are just slighty faster than the usual bands in this genre. Hope to hear more from them soon.
|
|
12"/lp Black Shape Of Nexus
|
s/t 9 (vendetta)
Massive doom. These guys played in a lot of fast bands but they dropped all that. 3 songs on one lp. it's slow, it's dark and we quite like it.
|
|
12"/lp Blood I Bleed
|
Gods out of Monsters 8 (Fast'n Furious)
Well, 20-something tracks on a 12". You know you can't go wrong really with this grindband. Compared to their previous releases this stands out because of the overwhelming sound. It's the same band, it still sounds like a vacuumceaner but this time it sounds like a huge vacuumcleaner. Excellent.
|
|
12"/lp Blood I Bleed
|
High Octane Trash 8 (fast 'n furious)
A compilation of some split 7"s, the 7" and some cover songs they recorded over the years. It doesn't contain all their material but still at 32 songs you ca't complain. Raging grindcore and fast trash from these dutchies. Includes covers by negative fx, bgk and heresy. That probably gives a good idea on how they sound.
|
|
12"/lp Born Against
|
Battle Hymns .... 9 (Prank)
Classic! Somewhere between Articles Of Faith and Dead Kennedys. One of the best hc bands out of the 90's delivering their best work. Must have.
|
|
12"/lp Bratpack
|
Hate The Neighbours 8 (Crucial Attack)
Hearing this you'd think California! but it's the Netherlands! ha! Bad Religion, RKL with some Minor Threat and there's your cup of Bratpack! excellent stuff!
|
|
12"/lp Brito
|
This Wave Is Only For The Good Hearted 8 (Graanrepubliek, S
A new dutch band bringing you the oldschool emo flavour. Well this is obviously from Groningen. Think the rythmsection of Shotmaker and the guitars from The Van Pelt and you'll get a good idea what this should sound like. Add some Unwound, Red Scare and Jesus Lizard and there you have it. Awesome 12.
|
|
12"/lp Burial Year
|
Pestilence 9 (Adagio830)
Ex-Takaru and Light in the Attic people doing what they're best at. Harsh metallic hardcore somewhere between their old bands and His Hero is Gone. Pretty dark and brutal stuff and recommended if you're into their former bands. I know i am.
|
|
12"/lp Captain Your Ship is Sinking
|
cross your fingers for the epilogue 9 (sadness of noise)
Captain, your ship is sinking is a young band from the netherlands. This is their debut on vinyl. You will get 4 songs which are in the vein of bands like Envy, Dominic, Aussitot Mort and Neil Perry. epic, melodic screamo with dark vocals
|
|
12"/lp Carrier
|
Heart and Arms 3 (lotsoflove)
Think built to spil and modest mouse. This is actualy really good, not cliche indierock. (Indie as in that it actualy means independent btw.)
|
|
12"/lp Catalyst, the
|
Swallow Your Teeth 10 (sons of vesta)
Fuck me. Record of 2009? well defintely one of them. The catalyst alreday showed what they ae capable of doing on the Marianas Trench ep and they continue on that path. The whole 90's indie/grunge sound through the Catalyst mixer. It's insane spaced out, noisy, wild, they basicaly have everything a record should ahve in my opinion. AMAZING AND VERY RECOMENDED.
|
|
12"/lp Coliseum
|
s/t 8 (destructure)
The European release of their debut lp on level-plane. We like this a lot and you'll like it a lot as well if you've always thought motorhead would have been better if they played hardcore.
|
|
12"/lp Comadre
|
A Wolf Ticket 9 (Adagio830)
8 new killer songs by Comadre. With that record they found their own identity and continue to go their way in writing catchy pissed off punk tunes. I think this is their best stuff so far. like it.
|
|
12"/lp Corrupted
|
Paso Inferior 9 (Insolito)
Reissue of lp-thing from Japanese godfathers of doom. Well that is if you're into doom now you better say you know these records from way back then. classic. The B-side was not on the original though. sort of soundscape-like thing. Creepy.
|
|
12"/lp Crowskin / Black Freighter
|
split 9 (vendetta)
Two heavy-weight doomcore acts from the empty, hopeless landscapes of Eastern Germany team up for a split LP that holds the balance between brutality and depressive bitterness. Leipzig's BLACK FREIGHTER who give their vinyl debut on this one start a slow, but unstoppable steamroller of tuned-to-zero guitars in complex and blurred arrangements. Potdam's CROWSKIN, known from their split LP with BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS and last year's "Harmony of death" 7" deliver feedback-soaked ugly pieces of sludge.
|
|
12"/lp D.U.N.E.
|
Lipotesi della stipsi 3 (Concubine)
Italian band which consists of members of Laghetto and Revolution Summer. Hectic stuff but D.U.N.E. is not much like that. Here it's much more out of the Neurosis, Isis category. Slow, doomy stuff. Bits of Breach in it as well maybe. If you're into the above you should give this a try.
|
|
12"/lp Dead Friends
|
s/t 10 (purepainsugar)
Dead Friends return after their great 7" in 2008. This is punkrock with a nice Assfactor 4 feel to it. If you're into Florida emo from the 90's you'll dig this.
|
|
12"/lp Deleometer
|
Rotation um die Ich Achse 3 (Assymetrie)
Nice surprise here. Never heard of this band before and unfortunately they already split up. This is some excellent german screamo without sounding too cheesy or cliche. They take all the good parts from the Hot Cross/Off Minor songwriting and mixed it with some sort of Akephal goes Anomie thing. Yeah weird i know, but it works. Sometimes twinkling with guitars, then just straightforward bulldozing their way through the songs. i quite like this. Shame they are not around anymore. Good record!
|
|
12"/lp Diavollo Rosso
|
never follow 3 (sabotage)
Old RKL or Poison Idea with killer vocals.
|
|
12"/lp Dolcim
|
Guillotine Ride 9 (React with Protest)
Awesome!. This is screamo for sure but it's not played by a bunch of kids who want to sound like a certain style but played by kids who happened to sound like this. Intense and true is what i hear in this record. If you're into La Quiete or Raein you'll dig this. Great!
|
|
12"/lp Dominic / The Third Memory
|
split 9 (Impure music)
Two new songs from both bands. Both have that typical 90's emo feeling to it. Funeral Diner and Portraits of Past fans should dig this. Dominic wins it for me though with their slighty softer approach. love it.
|
|
12"/lp Drain the Sky
|
Introduction to the past 8 (destructure)
Ex-members of Dimlaia and HHIG going on the Neurosis trip. This sounds a lot like Souls At Zero or Enemy of the Sun. Atmospheric and epic, doomy. Great record.
|
|
12"/lp Family Man
|
s/t 3 (Behind The Scenes)
Hardcore! well they're named after a Black Flag song so you kind of know what this is. Fast, raw, punk. For fans of Black Flag, Nerve Agents, Kill Your Idols.
|
|
12"/lp Gasciogne
|
Massive Assault 3 (Shield)
Fast punk, trashy with a rock'n roll bite i guess. Sometimes straightforward sometimes catchy. nice.
|
|
12"/lp Gewapend Beton
|
17 until we die 9 (Hate)
The first full length of these dutch hc/punks. Great mix of pogo punk and old US/UK hardcore. Great lyrics and many singalongs
|
|
12"/lp Gewapend Beton
|
Empty Batteries 8 (Crucial Attack)
GB are from the Netherlands. They play a brilliant mix of classic '80s US-hardcore, '70s pogo-punk and the early '80 UK-hardcore sounds. Think ZERO BOYS, POISON IDEA, BLACK FLAG, THE PARTISANS.
|
|
12"/lp Ghostlimb
|
s/t 9 (vendetta/adagio830)
Yes! Excellent stuff here. File under hardcore. This is Graf Orlock people doing something that reminds me of Crestfallen and Pg99. But with shorter songs. It's a one-sided 12" but it sounds and looks amazing. Recommended
|
|
12"/lp Glasses
|
s/t 8 (Vendetta)
This german band consists of members of the 244 GL, Trainwreck, Perth Express and The F.A.? But doens't really sound like any of them. This is way more hardcore punk with a good motorhead drive if you like. Maybe Rise and Fall would be a good comparison. But more aggressive. Nice.
|
|
12"/lp Gods And Queens
|
s/t 9 (Adagio830)
Restock because i love this record. Excellent indie somewhere between Unwound, Hoover and Fugazi with some shoegaze twist. VERY RECOMMENDED.
|
|
12"/lp Graf Orlock
|
Destination Time Today 10 (Adagio830)
estination Time Today is the third installment of Graf Orlocks chronology bending cinema-grind trilogy begun in 2006 and 2007. This new testament to nebulous ideas and bodily harm surveys such time honored themes as presidential assassination, robotic domination, and the pitfalls of pre-historic survival. They haven't changed a thing so to say. Expect some good grind (hard) core in your face. Well done boys!
|
|
12"/lp Hallowed Butchery
|
Funeral rites for the Living 9 (Vendetta)
This is one very happy record. Take some Swans and Neurosis and slow that all down. It's fuckin good. Best record i've heard in a long time.
|
|
12"/lp Hammerhead
|
Cut The Melon 8 (Per Koro)
Legendary German band! They started out as a NYC hardcore influenced band but shifted slowly into a more punk approach. This a compilation lp of all songs not available on the 3 lp's Hammerhead recorded. Filthy hardcore
|
|
12"/lp Haymaker
|
demo 12" 10 (rsr)
Yep, the demo on one sided 12" vinyl. 11 tracks of hateful violence. You know the deal
|
|
12"/lp Hiro / Almathea
|
split 9 (Impure music)
Amalthea from Sweden continue with their epic end '90s influenced emocore stuff on side A and on the flip side we have new songs by Hiro (ex Gantz) from France. Hiro play wonderful, emotional french 90's hardcore mixed some earlier Envy. This is a great split with nice cover artwork.
|
|
12"/lp His Hero is Gone
|
Monuments To Thieves 9 (Prank)
Their 2nd album. Heavier than before. Maybe less explosive but this album is darker and creepier. Anyway, without this lp this whole label and distro probably wouldn't exist. ESSENNTIAL!!
|
|
12"/lp Hunger, the
|
Hope Against Hope 8 (shield)
Debut from these Groningers. Heavy hardcore like Cursed mixed with some Integrity (music) and Unbroken (soul). Seriously good. Next 7" will be on de Graanrepubliek.
|
|
12"/lp I Not Dance
|
So you think you can ...9 (Synalgie)
This is the wonderful debut LP from a new band from Austria - maybe you are still familiar with them from their tunes at the MR WILLIS OF OHIO split LP ... 8 new songs of powerful raw emo from the mountains of Austria. good stuff
|
|
12"/lp Intensity
|
The ruins of our future 8 (Deranged)
Killer hardcore, another stirring batch of material for this Swedish band. Speed, fury and drama, along with the occasional hint of melody but Intensity keep it in overdrive all the time. It rages and there's substance on the lyrical plate, taking issue with class divisions, the price of development and racism. A multi-lingual effort, with songs sung in English, Swedish and Spanish. Complete burn
|
|
12"/lp Iron Age
|
Constant Struggle 10 (Reflections)
The hard-hitting debut from this Texas hardcore band! Taking cues from crossover acts from the 80s such as Leeway, Agnostic Front, and C.O.C., Constant Struggle is an incredible, riff-heavy album in the classic NYHC style by way of the Lone Star state.
|
|
12"/lp Iscariote
|
Necropole Trauma 3 (lastdaysinjune)
Technical mosh from switzerland. Bit cleaner than their 7" but still good
|
|
12"/lp Jobcrusher
|
From the Cradle 3 (lots of labels)
Dutch powerviolence /trash/crust at it's best. This rages. Basicaly for everyone who likes ugly and fast music.
|
|
12"/lp Keitzer
|
As the world burns 9 (React With protest)
Metal! Grind! Awesome! That pretty much sums it up i guess. This reminds me of Phobia without the grunts but more screams. So Basicaly if you put Phobia in the mix with Acme you'll get Keitzer. Seriously good.
|
|
12"/lp Kolokol
|
Flammer Og Farger 3 (Twisted Chords)
From Norway. If you like old norwegian bands like So Much Hate this is worth listening. Typical sound. It's fast and rocks, guitars sometimes remind me of french bands like Anomie. Good Stuff!
|
|
12"/lp Lack Of Interest
|
Take Another Step 9 (DeepSix)
Another 19 tracks of Infest and No Comment inspired fastcore and power-violence from LACK OF INTEREST. Fast and to the point - no nonsene hardcore. An absolute must for fans of fast-core and Infest-style hardcore.
|
|
12"/lp Last Match, the
|
Discography 8 (Sound Virus)
Pre-Trapdoor Fuckin Exit from Sweden. This collects all their vinyl output from 1997-1999. Very strong Born Against / Universal Order Of Armageddon feel to it. Might not be the most well known name in swedish hc but this is seriously good and much overlooked.
|
|
12"/lp Last Mile, the
|
New Plastic Illusions 3 (Graanrepubliek)
Brutal as their previous 7". For fans of His Hero is gone and the likes. VERY RECOMMENDED
|
|
12"/lp Libyans
|
Discography 9 (Narshardaa)
Snotty and melodic hardcore punk from Boston. Pulling various influences from Cock Sparrer to the Avengers to Career Suicide. Their music is raw and poppy at the same time while not leaning too much toward either side. This LP features almost everything they have released so far including both 7inches and their 12inch. Rock out!
|
|
12"/lp Little Killers, the
|
A Real Good One 3 (Gern Blandsten)
Not something you'd expect on Gern Blandsten. Garage Punkrock. Actualy this band released their first record on Crypt records. Which makes perfect sense if you hear this. Filthy, catchy and uptempo. Great band, excellent record!
|
|
12"/lp Loma Prieta
|
Last City 9 (React with Protest)
Restock. This is awesome screamo. While most of the bands playing this sort of music get quite dull after a couple of songs this just keeps on going. Yeah if you're into la Quiete or screamo in general this should be in your collection.
|
|
12"/lp Lords
|
Fuck All Y'all Motherfuckers 9 (Destructure)
Lords have ex-members of Coliseum and Lick Golden Sky and bring a brand of dirty, chaotic, noisy hardcore punk with slight metal leanings that meets somewhere between the likes of Black Flag and Entombed with plenty of rooms for some weirdness. Good stuff.
|
|
12"/lp Los Crudos / Spitboy
|
split 9 (Ebullition)
Los Crudos and Spitboy got together to put out a very intense and explosive split LP. Los Crudos was of course one of the most well known punk/hardcore bands to come out of the '90s DIY hardcore scene. Martin was a charismatic frontman that always managed to captivate audiences with his politics. This was the final release from Spitboy. To date this LP has been the most popular release on Ebullition.
|
|
12"/lp Meneguar
|
I was born at night 8 (narshardaa)
The best powerpunkpop band there is right now. Well maybe not that punk but definetly pop. The first song House Of Cats is a close to perfect song. For that song alone you should own this record already.
Great great record.
|
|
12"/lp Merkit / Hombrinus Dudes
|
split 9 (IFB Records)
Hombrines Dudes are back with more intense grinding hardcore. Sounds like early Napalm Death. This is highly acclaimed politcally charged and socially aware grindcore. Merkit gives all new tracks of intense, fast and mean hardcore. If you are a fan of the mid '90s Ebulliton sound then this band is for you. Comes in a nice D.I.Y. hand screened and glued cover. This is punk as it should be.
|
|
12"/lp Movies, the
|
In one era out the other 3 (Gern Blandsten)
New Wave post punk. Nice songs which sound like a postpunk Joy Division. Keyboards and Piano make the songs moody and dark. guitars are in teh back but that all seems to fit here. Nice.
|
|
12"/lp Mr. Willis Of Ohio
|
s/t 8 (Synalgie)
new release of this switzerland based emo / screamo outfit, 4 new tunes riminding me of the good old days back in the 80ies when emo used to describe good music, you know bands like still life, current, amber inn..., one sided 12", with a silkscreened backside...
|
|
12"/lp My Minds Mine
|
Scenes of the complete annihilation ... 8 (fast 'n furious
Pre Blood I bleed. musicwise not that different from what they do now. Fast trash and grindcore in a mix. Filthy production. nicely done.
|
|
12"/lp Nadja
|
Clinging to the edge of the sky 9 (Adagio830/Vendetta)
This is not the Nadja most people are used to. It is a more scaled down, minimalistic and naked sound. There is almost a total lack of distortion, and it is not as heavy or noisy as most of their earlier releases. One song, spanning 16 minutes, takes you on a sad and slow journey. It is hypnotic, it is soothing. It is Nadja though. Comes with a laser etched B-side.
|
|
12"/lp Nightstick Justice
|
s/t 8 (Even Worse)
Hell yeah. After 3 ep's here's the 9 song lp. Raw and loud. Think Infest played by the New Bomb Turks. Angry and pissed off. You won't get it much better than this.
|
|
12"/lp Nothing Done
|
Everybody Knows 9 (NotJustWords)
Latest effort by these dutchmen. On here there's a more rocking groove going on than on the powertrip lp. Less Black Flag more Verbal Assault. And that's a good thing. I like this a lot. Excellent record!
|
|
12"/lp November 13th
|
Stillstand//Weiter 8 (Behind the Scenes)
I believe the 2nd lp by these german crust fans. Dark and mean hardcore not unlike From Ashes Rise and the likes.
|
|
12"/lp November 13th
|
2008 8 (behind the scenes)
New LP by this dark apocalyptic hardcore band from Hannover. Think Catharsis mixed with From Ashes Rise. D-beat-ish with amazing drums.
|
|
12"/lp Off Minor
|
Some Blood 9 (PurePainSugar)
Off Minor are back with probably their last recordings. This is their 3rd lp i think and they haven't changed a bit. Which is good, coz theirs hardly any band that manges to combine anger with complex songwriting like they do. It's not easy music but it never sounds like it's been done to soun complicated. no they just sound like this. Awesome! for fans of Hot Cross, Kidcrash and the likes. these guys started it and and are still on top.
|
|
12"/lp Pollution
|
Nasty.Dna 9 (Feast Of Tentacles)
Nice. People from Unearthly Trance doing some noise infested hardcore. Very much like Walls or older Dead&Gone and Born Against. I like this a lot.
|
|
12"/lp Potomac
|
s/t 2 (flowerviolence)
|
|
12"/lp POTOP / Burmese
|
split 9 (Crucificados)
Not a split between two bands you'd expect. POTOP from Macedonia play ultra slow doom or sludge if you like. Negativity all over. Burmese from the US bring us some really ugly music. Somewhere between the Discordance Axis mayhem and Index for Potential Suicide insanity. Bit's of MITB in there as well i guess. Impressive record.
|
|
12"/lp Preying Hands
|
Through the Dark 9 (Contraszt)
Preying Hands is a relatively new band from Montreal/Canada, but constists of people that have played in BALLAST and you can definetly hear that.
The sound seamlessly blends an odd combination of crust, melodic hardcore and a touch of pop punk. The powerful female vocals, that lyrically combine the personal with the political, complete an intense picture.(from some blog i forgot)
|
|
12"/lp Protestant
|
The Hate, The Hollow 8 (Rimbaud)
From Milwaukee, usa. Crusty hardcore with some original twists. This is very well done. i liked the last 7" very much and this just takes it a bit further down that road. Fast and heavy like FAR or HHIG but slightly different.
|
|
12"/lp Pygmy Lush
|
Mount Hope 9 (Adagio830)
This is one of the many ex-PG99 bands. However there's only a few that can live up to that band. One of them might be Pygmy Lush. Musicaly this is something totaly different, but it does have that vibe. That haunted feeling, being on the brink of sanity. Pygmy Lush does that in an acoustic way. Creepy at times dreamy. very cool stuff.
|
|
12"/lp Railsplitter
|
860 some odd lbs 3 (deadtank)
Heavy as hell, evil etc. This is sludge!! vocals sound not unlike Unsane. Brilliant.
|
|
12"/lp Rapider than Horsepower/ The Mae Shi
|
split lp 3 (narshardaa)
Great stuff here from RTHP. Crazy like pavement but catchy. The Mae Shi is more with electronics and adds even more weirdness to this lp. The songs from both bands are mixed so it's no real "split" lp.
|
|
12"/lp Real Danger, The
|
s/t 9 (Shield)
Great punkrock in the vein of Descendents, All and Face to face. Catchy and uptempo. Obviously not original but hey who cares? they do an extremely good job at it.
|
|
12"/lp Reproach / Sunpower

live split 8 (Crucial Attack)
This LP is recorded live at the Loco Loco Festival in Belgium, where Sunpower cranks out 15 songs and Reproach rips through 21 songs in 17 minutes. Both sides are of good sound quality. Great energy. Seriously solid record!
|
|
12"/lp Resurrectionists
|
s/t 9 (Moments of Collapse)
Swirling wild guitars pummeling blast beat ridden drumming, and multiple vocalist mania. That would efficiently describe the sound of Resurrectionists. This includes an EyeHateGod cover btw. Seriously sick record.
|
|
12"/lp Retaliation
|
the Execution 9 (Fast 'n Furious)
wroah! grindcore from sweden. This is very fast and impressive. I think this is actualy the first time on vinyl for this album as it was previoulsy released on cd only. Good job by fast and furious there. If your taste is grindcore your taste is Retaliation.
|
|
12"/lp Sacred Shock
|
You're not with us 9 (residue)
Amazing full length after two 7"s. Lots of Born Against meets Deathreat with some vocals which reminds me of Dwid. 11 songs in steamroller style. get this!
|
|
12"/lp Saddest Landscape, the
|
Sound of the Spectacle (narshardaa)
Ok, some rate this as totaly over the top or "too much" but i think it's great. It is very emo and it has a lot of cliche's but it's done in a fantastic way. Think loads of Mohinder, Portriats Of Past, Indian Summer and the likes in a blender. Out comes Saddest Landscape. Amazing.
|
|
12"/lp SATAN / The Bold and the Beautiful
|
split lp 9 (Sadness of Noise)
Two polish bands entered recording studios for the 2nd time and decided to put the result of those sessions on one split LP. Good idea, as both bands can be placed on similar shelf - angry, fast, full of fury punk mixing fast hardcore with powerviolence and grindcore. You can say they are inspired by Artimus Pyle, Iron Lung, Dystopia, Orchid, Discordance Axis among many others.
The Bold and The Beautiful from Lublin (with people from Amen, Antichrist, Knife in the leg, Silence and more) goes more into 80's hardcore direction, but with full speed. S.A.T.A.N. (with guys from Romeo Must Die and H-407) go more into grind direction. Brutal record.
|
|
12"/lp Seein Red
|
We need to do more.. 9 (ebullition)
This new LP, titled "We must do more than just music", features twenty-two brand new protest tracks from SEEIN' RED. Recorded in 2005. These 22 songs are fast, angry political hardcore songs as only SEEIN' RED does them. SEEIN' RED has been together for many, many years. They have played all over the world. They have released dozens and dozens of records. And they are a very well known and respected hardcore band. Angry, political, and pissed off... Seein' Red offers a wall of hardcore noise. Powerful music with a powerful message.
|
|
12"/lp Siege
|
Drop dead 9 (Deepsix)
Finally re-pressed. Siege was one of those more than awesome hardcore bands from Boston that influenced hundreds and hundreds of bands over the years. These 9 tracks were recorded in 1984. This is a classic. A must have for anyone into Infest, Drop Dead, Heresy or Ripcord. Listen to where they got their sound from.
|
|
12"/lp Snacktruck
|
s/t 3 (narshardaa)
Weird stuf. Think of Rapider than Horsepower and the likes... without the singing though, these guys do it screaming.
|
|
12"/lp Sniffin Glue
|
We are sniffin glue, fuck you 8 (Per Koro)
More hardcore punk from Germany. This has some members from Italion Stallion so obviously it's fast. If you're into bands like Government Warning and Direct Control doing their Reagan era thing, you'll dig this. Angry and pissed off.
|
|
12"/lp Socialcide
|
Unapproachable 8 (Even Worse)
Awesome! Their 7" was pretty good but this lp is just ten steps ahead of their previous stuff. Think old school hardcore with a strong Offenders/MDC touch. I guess they took a lot of influences from the 80's hardcore but somehow they blended it together so well this easily stands on it's own. Killer record.
|
|
12"/lp Splitter / FUBAR
|
split lp 8 (Fast'n Furious)
Excellent grindcore combination. Splitter spit out 8 tracks of hardcore grind only to slow down a bit for some more crusty elements, which suits their sound great. FUBAR just do what Napalm Death and Terrorizer did some years ago. Speed. Rage. Great.
|
|
12"/lp Storm the Bastille / In First Person
|
split 9 (Ape must not kill ape)
This is what hardcore should be all about: passion, movement, energy, and heavy freakin riffs!! These two bands are going have you moshing in your living room and tearing down the state while you spin this new record. In first Person reminds me of a less technical Circle takes the square. More straight foward and pretty brutal. Storm The Bastille is more melody and old school emoviolence. No fills on either side. Great stuff if the more violent emo stuff is your thing.
|
|
12"/lp Sunpower
|
Pain For Profit 9 (Holy Shit!)
Awesome punk/hardcore from Belgium. Believe it or not but this has a great Dead Kennedys vibe. Mix that with some good love for the 80's hardcore and it's Sunpower. You need this!
|
|
12"/lp Taint
|
All the bees to the sea 9 (Destructure)
UK's Taint are back with a new ep. massive walls of guitars doing their Fudgetunnel / Melvins / Mudhoney thing. Riff after riff without getting dull. This is only 4 songs but comes with a download coupon for a whole live set from the Roadburn fest.
|
|
12"/lp Teenage Cool Kids
|
Foreign Lands 9 (Narshardaa)
On their second LP Teenage Cool Kids come with twelve songs once again full of Meneguar, Dinosaur Jr., early Built To Spill and Jawbreaker influenced pop. Catchy singalongs all over.
|
|
12"/lp The South/Hypatia
|
split lp 3 (deadtank)
Yes it's here!!. These are the last recordings by the The South and they will blow you away. Sort of palatka taking more time for their songs. Hypatia makes me think of a Mouthpiece doing screamo songs and it works!! Great stuff from both bands!!
|
|
12"/lp This Routine Is Hell
|
The Verve Crusade 9 (Shield)
This Routine is Hell is around since the fall of 2006 and is a hardcore punk band inspired by the likes of Minor Threat, Ceremony, Paint it Black and Panic: Fast, Energetic and Sincere. "The Verve Crusade" is This Routine is Hells debut album after releasing a split CD with Sandbox Rebellion. "The Verve Crusade" contains eleven brand new songs
|
|
12"/lp Thou / Leech
|
split lp 10 (vendetta)
The NOLA sludge monsters THOU continue to crank out high quality releases spitting pure venom. Expect once more a heavy and brutal guitar assault from deep down below accompanied by a sick and frustrated vocalist, setting senseless destruction against everything into music. LEECH, play fast and raw, yet melancholic,despaired black metal in the vein of WEAKLING. Spreaging an atmosphere of hopelessness, haunted by self-hate and nihilism, this might be the perfect soundtrack for suicide.
|
|
12"/lp Thou / Mohoram Atta
|
split 9 (Feast Of Tentacles)
Thou come with some shorter songs here. But no worries, it's still heavy and not too fast either. More metal i guess. Mohoram Atta spit out some black metal infested hardcore which wortks 0ouit quite well with the Thou side. Good split record.
|
|
12"/lp Thou / Salome
|
Our Enemy Civilization split lp 10 (Vendetta)
The first split 12" in a whole series of Thou releases to come. If they are all like this you know where you'll spend your money on. This is amazing. Thou have a bit of a hit and miss tendency but this is definitely a hit. One song, dark and sludgy. Salome also impress with two doomsongs. Less Black Sabbath riffing which makes the songs come together much better. Dark and mean stuff from both bands. No fillers. RECOMMENDED.
|
|
12"/lp Time To Burn
|
Is.Land 9 (slow death)
From Paris comes Time To Burn. Comparisons are easy to make. The guitars and melodies are obvious in the vein of Amen Ra or Isis. However the vocals of Time To Burn are mucg better and over the top. This is much more aggressive. I like it a lot.
|
|
12"/lp Titan / June Paik
|
split 9 (Reactwithprotest)
Titan again with their Burried Inside style. Better production on this one though and that give sit a lot more punch. June Paik do a similar dark thing. It all sound quite depressing and not too happy. Think One Eyed God Prophecy and the likes.
|
|
12"/lp Trainwreck
|
Of concrete canyons and inner wastelands 9 (Adagio830)
Eight new songs by one of the best german hardcore bands at the moment. Those 8 songs are the heaviest shit they wrote so far and by the time the best ones they recorded. It reminds me a lot on the TAKARU lp - just more heavy and also on some parts of Burial Year.
|
|
12"/lp Trash Talk
|
s/t 10 (Reflections)
Ok i ignored this band simply because i didn't expect this sort of record to come out on Refections. This is hardcore with a strong and good powerviolence vibe through it. If you're into Mind Eraser, Hatred Surge and the whole new wave of fast and brutal hc you should pick this up. Great record!
|
|
12"/lp Umbrella/ Every kids loves a clown
|
split 3 (crucificados)
2x US technical grind, very evil record.
|
|
12"/lp v/a
|
Making Childrens Songs a Threat Again 9 (diy)
We like products like these. A compilation with a theme and in doing so verey well taken care of. Everything looks nice on this. Punk Parents that wrote something about education, diet etc. in relation to bringing up your children. All bands on here feature parents i guess; Zanussi, Betercore, Dagda, Jinn and Zegota among others. Great stuff!
|
|
12"/lp V/A 4 way split
|
Zann/ Perth Express / Trainwreck / Ghostlimb 9 (vendetta)
The long awaited split 12". Well that is the Perth Express tracks have been laying around forever probably. But it's worth the wait. Especialy PE and Ghostlimb do the trick for me while Trainwreck surprise me with their best tracks till now. Zann just do with their best at. Excellent combination of bands.
|
|
12"/lp V/A Connections compilation
|
Eucalypt, Hiro, Dodewaard + 3 3 (Moments of Collapse)
Excellent compilation with modern day emo bands from all over. The last recordings from Dodewaard as well, which are a standout on this record. Raging and melodic screaming from Sweden to Mexico to Australia. Eucalypt, Hiro, Dodewaard, Amalthea, Arse Moreira, Orbit Cinta Benjamin.
|
|
12"/lp Voetsek
|
Infernal Command 8 (Fast 'n Furious)
17 new fast metallic tracks mixing Bay Area fastcore/power violence (Spazz, Capitalist Casualities) and Bay Area thrash metal (Vio-lence, Death Angel). Trash!
|
|
12"/lp Voices forming weapons
|
s/t 3
Think Fuel and old dc.
|
|
12"/lp What Price Wonderland?
|
Thirty with a wink 9 (Ape Must Not Kill Ape)
The Uk delivers the goods when it's coming to original emo. WPW brings you some mix of Assfactor 4 with Minutemen and well maybe Van Pelt? They go from hectic screaming to slow instrumental stuff. I like it. Pretty damn good.
|
|
12"/lp Worst Case Scenario / Nada X Liberar
|
split 3 (Contrastz)
Nice! Swedens Worst Case scenario throw in some typical swedish d-beat. Not too clean and quite interesting. Nada X Liberar have a crusty Crudos vibe. Well done, especialy recommended for the WCS side.
|
|
7" Auryn / Bosque
|
split 4 (Square Of Opposition)
Bosque bring punishing epic d-beat out of the slums of Chicago. Auryn hail from Pittsburgh/Philly and bring a bit more melody and metal into a similarly well worn mold of heavy political crust hardcore. Neither band would sound out of place on a compilation LP from 1997 released by Ebullition or Old Glory. You might recognize members of Auryn from time spent in Sequoia, Rambo, Pissed Jeans, Hypatia, and The Gatecrashers. Nice!
|
|
7" Abaddon
|
the last fuckin straw 1 (Halo of Flies)
A nice combination of trash, crust and grind. It starts out as some 90s emo mosh but then paces up to not slow down again. They remind me a bit of Catheter. Its ugly ,its fast and very pissed off. Six songs of total brutality
|
|
7" Adorno
|
Said and Unsaid 4 (Adagio)
four new songs by Adorno from Portugal - 4 new tunes passionate hardcore with a Drive Like Jehu, The Van Pelt melodic edge. Noisy, distorted, melodic, beautiful, emotive sad sounding music w/ an intense reminiscent voice. Good stuff.
|
|
7" Antillectual
|
Pull the Plug 4 (Shield)
Pull the Plug contains 2 brand new Antillectual songs and 2 oldies done Acoustic.
|
|
7" Antithesis / Cutting Pink With Knives
|
split 1 (Concubine)
Antithesis are from Italy playing an extreme screamo mayhem. this is dark stuff nothing fancy. It's mean. Cutting Pink With Knives are from the UK with computer extremo grind. Scary split. Nice artwork. Good.
|
|
7" Attack of the mad Axemen / The Makai
|
split 4 (Flowerviolence)
Germany's Attack Of The Mad Axeman are four dispossessed forest animals who have taken up instruments to play scathingly brutal Grind like mighty Brutal Truth or Cyness. Their four tracks whip by almost too quickly to process. Relentless blast beats and lightning-speed riffing combine with eco-conscious lyrics to create a volatile concoction not for the weak of heart. The Makai from California pummel your eardrums with a barrage of intensity that will make even the strongest listeners tremble in fear. "Orpheus' Plight" recounts the ancient legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. The Makai deliver a cool mixture of traditional HC-Punk like His Hero is Gone with the heavy melodies of Baroness. The vocalist and the songstructure reminds me a bit of the the german band Akephal, too. The powerful opening of the song gives way to a slower and more melodic interlude, seamlessly integrating with the subject matter of the lyrics.
|
|
7" Bait
|
Every Lie I've Ever lived 1 (Nakkeskudd)
From Norwich, Uk. Apperently this is ex-members from Deviated Instinct for those who remember them. Anyway, Biat is pretty metallic hardcore. In good way. Take some Rorschach and add some modern stuff like From Ashes Rise with a slightly metal edge. That's Bait. Pretty good.
|
|
7" Battle Of Wolf 349 / Sengaia
|
split 4 (React With Protest)
BOW are from the UK and do this Orchid goes Neil Perry thing. Slow melodies with screeching vocals. Great stuff. Sengaia is a project i guess. German/USA? not sure but it's what you could expect to be on RWP. High pitched vocals, and insane melodic guitarworks. Good shit.
|
|
7" Battle Of Wolf 359 / Kaddish
|
split 4 (React with Protest)
Awesome new split 7" by both british finest. Kaddish remind me more on mid 90ies british stuff w/ wonderful intense melodies. Battle Of Wolf more more in your face w/ male & femals vocals. Great.
|
|
7" Betercore / My Own Lies
|
split 4 (flowerviolence)
Two of the best fastcorebands in europe from some time ago on one release, awesome. Both bands went to good studios and made brutal recordings with much power and aggression.
|
|
7" Betongbarn
|
s/t 1 (nakkeskudd)
Norwegian steamroller punk. This is loud and just goes. Has a bit an "old" feeling to it but it's a fairly new band. great stuff.
|
|
7" Black September
|
The Sermon Of Vengeance 4 (Iconoclast)
Chicagos deathblackcrust metallers Black September harkens back to the crust/death metal of old Bolt Thrower and the rough majesty of old Amon Amarth. This seven-inch single will feature two original songs Epic, furious, violently fast and violently slow too, with a powerful female voice to complete. Comes with a fold out 11"x17" poster and has members of Kungfu Rick and High on Crime.
|
|
7" Black September / Thou
|
split 4 (Halo Of Flies)
Fuck me. Best split of 2008? probably. Black September play some heavy black metal riffing crust. It's evil, it's mean. Thou are soon to be everyone's favorite i guess. Well this is their anthem Smoke Pigs. You can figure out yourself what the song is about. Imagine a cross between Chokehold and Ire. Yeah i know. Amazing! very recommended
|
|
7" Burning the Prospect
|
one sided 7" 3 (Right To Refuse)
Great band from the UK. Heavy as fuck. Think Artimus Pyle and His hero Is Gone in a blender. Agressive stuff.
|
|
7" Burning The Prospect / Valhalla Pacifists
|
split 7" 4 (Hollow Soul)
our new circle-pit inducing thrashers from Valhalla Pacifists - they're fast, reckless and have a good sense of humor! Burning The Prospect offer up two songs of dark, brooding d-beat crust; driving fast parts crash into devastating slow sections with enough melody to make carry it all off
|
|
7" Burning Times
|
s/t 1 (Tadpole)
Yeah from Brighton, UK. Though if somebody told me they were from 94 and contained members of Halfman and Scapecrace i would have believed them as well. This is hardcore! awesome 7"!
|
|
7" Burning Times
|
2nd 7" 1 (tadpole)
Their second 7". As expected this rules. This is punkrock. Much like older bands like Born Against or Halfman. This is full of energy. Great record!
|
|
7" Century of War
|
s/t 1 (fight)
Finish crust played by americans. Very well done though.
|
|
7" Chronic Heist
|
Quick Fix with Repairs 1 (knives slits water)
Guys who (used to) play in bands like 8 Days of Nothing and Trapdoor Fucking exit with a different appoach here. Chronic Heist plays a modern version of '70's art/krautrock. It's a kind of progressive spaced out glam or suburban goth or something. weird but interesting.
|
|
7" Cibo / Airlines Of Terror
|
split 1 (Shove)
2x Italy. Cibo is grind 'n' roll vs Airlines oF Terror with their mixture of death metal & folk punk, airlines with members from inferno.
|
|
7" Citizens Patrol
|
Sick Routine 4 (Crucial Attack)
Citizens Patrol from teh netherlands blast out 10 tracks of early '80s inspired hardcore on this 7". Short songs that never let up for one second. The songs take no prisoners, bringing to mind current bands like GOVERNMENT WARNING, DIRECT CONTROL and WASTED TIME.
|
|
7" Citizens Patrol
|
Dead Children 4 (Crucial Attack)
Their 2nd 7"! Citizens Patrol blast through another 6 tracks of early '80s inspired hardcore with demented vocals, buzzsaw guitars and drums that never seem to slow down. This is hyper-speed hardcore, comparable to early bands like RKL or even Spermbirds but bringing their own flavor to the table
|
|
7" Citizens Patrol
|
demo 7" 4 (waybackwhen)
After 2 ep's on No Way (USA) and Crucial Attack (Holland) their demo from 2006 finally makes it to vinyl.
No clue why this took so long.
Some songs made it to the first ep, some didn't .
Complete your CP collection with this slap of wax
|
|
7" Ciudad del Cabo / Theraps
|
split 4 (moment of collapse)
Ciudad del cabo from spain are ex-members of enoch ardon and costacurta. they contrubute 2 songs to this split with theraps (ex-arse moreira), which also give 2 songs. Ciudad del cabo play more the classic mid 90s style. theraps play some technical, post hardcore style with long instrumental parts.
|
|
7" Cloak Dagger
|
We don't need a 4 (Adagio830)
Three new tracks on 7" just in time for the Euro-tour. I think one of the songs will also be on the lp that will come out later but the other two are "exclusive". Anyway, it's typical Cloak and Dagger stuff. Minor Threat, Black Flag with some good dose of Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes. Good one.
|
|
7" Cold Ones
|
Stay Thirsty 4 (Zandor)
Killer, anthemic hardcore from the UK... these guys remind me a lot of Social Circkle in the way they manage to tread that fine line between punk and hardcore without definitively landing in either... one might also say this is great, catchy punk with an aggressive edge. (from sorry state records)
|
|
7" Comrades / Tekken
|
split 4 (Shove)
Italy versus France. Both are intens grind hardcore at it's best. Comrades are really dark negative stuff while Tekken take it just fast.
|
|
7" Constant State Of Terror
|
War with no end 4 (Inflammable Material)
Crusty d-beat from the sunny beach of Brighton, UK. It's filthy, dark and political fueled hardcore like it should be. Excellent!
|
|
7" Control de Estado
|
Ladron ep 4 (IFB Records)
CONTROL DE ESTADO's second EP blasts six tracks of slightly twisted , straight forward thrash.
Single-line bursts of spirited hardcore with shreded vocals, a la later CRUDOS, spitting point-blank political lyrics largely in Spanish. Quirky, odd twists, an occasional SST-styled guitar wail, or just bizzare breaks mix this up from any sort of formulaic thrash. Nicely packaged in a '90s styled screened, recycled paper fold out sleeve.
|
|
7" Cornered
|
demo 7" 4 (Crucial Attack)
Nice! NYHC influenced stuff here. They act tough and sound mean. What else do you want? This is pretty pissed off stuff. Mosh!
|
|
7" Cracks in the Wall
|
s/t 4 (Crucialattack)
11 songs on one 7" by this dutch band. Well you know that it's fast. Think Infest, NA and Jerry's Kids. Great!
|
|
7" Crucial Section
|
Against the Wind 4 (crew for life)
6 new rippers from these guys from japan. It's fast it's energetic, it's trashy. You know the deal.
|
|
7" Damages
|
Scars 4 (Deaf Cult)
This is ex-members of canadian band Al Through A Life and it shows. Scars essentially picks up where the members left off with their previous band. Damages still draw heavy inspiration from the likes of Fugazi and Embrace, but there are also hints of noise punk bands like Shellac and Unwound found here. The two songs of this 7 are rooted in the angular riff and methodical rhythms of the early 90's and the vocals are almost a dead ringer for Ian MacKaye; it's uncanny. Awesome!
|
|
7" Das Krill / Keitzer
|
split 4 (7degrees)
Two times grinding mayhem from Germany. Both are fast with Krill adding some electronics to the works and Keitzer just impressing with their wall of sound.
|
|
7" Dead for a minute/Submerge
|
split 1 (shogun)
Dead for a minute is the french honeywell attempt. Submerge dark and technical metal hardcore
|
|
7" Diet Pills
|
s/t 4 (Force Fed Records)
Described as the missing link between Jesus Lizard, Infest and Noothgrush. Or Somewhere between Flipper, Melvins and Neurosis. Well you'll get the picture. Sheer heavy violence but with room for some weirdness. Amazing.
|
|
7" Divisions Ruin
|
s/t 1 (Cesspool)
Irish female fronted dark crust. Great!
|
|
7" Down to Agony
|
Requiem Por Un Mundo Enfermo 4 (acclaim)
Spanish d-beat inferno. It's basicaly Spain all over when you're talking about delivering the d-beat these days. Anyway, if you like Tragedy, Ekkaia and the likes; Take this!
|
|
7" Dusty Blinds
|
Grind 4 (Brulkikker)
No it's not grindcore. It's one of best indie / punkpop bands from the Netherlands. Two songs on this one in the vein of Dinosaur jr meets Sleater Kinney. Excellent catchy songs. Hope they release more soon.
|
|
7" Easpa Measa / Nemetona
|
split 4 (Acclaim)
EASPA MEASA are from Dublin, Ireland. They play amazing crusty melodic hardcore fury. Described as Disaffect meets Submission Hold based on Tragedy. Go figure!. NEMETONA is a Japanese female fronted raging crustcore attack. It's brutal. You'll like it.
|
|
7" Econochrist
|
Skewed 3 (ebullition)
Classic band. This 7" is thier last release i think and much like the Trained to Serve lp. Punk/hc that's fast, catchy and ugly. If you're into Born Against and the likes, You'll dig this.
|
|
7" End Of A Year / Kids Explode
|
split 4 (Narshardaa)
End of a Year crank out another of their mighty fine emo jams. great vocals pitched over rocking, mid-paced 'mo in the vein of Current and the Shivering. Kids Explode charge through 2 post-hardcore efforts, with lots of energy and a post punk rhythm.
|
|
7" End Of All
|
Places 4 (Halo Of Flies)
Hardhitting, powerful, metallic crustcore from End of All, further developing their sound on the "Art of Decadence" LP. Thick layered varied riffs, a galloping beat, and desperatly angry vocals. Lots of real heavy sections as well as straight forward hardcore fury.(attackfanzine)
|
|
7" Extortion / Sceptic Surge
|
split 7" 4 (rsr)
Our favorite aussies return with their no comment goes infest style. Older recordings but powerful of course. Sceptic Surge are new to me but they are alos from downunder. More MITB -like powerviolence. Killer!
|
|
7" Facel Vega / Sceptres
|
split 4 (Dire)
Facel Vega are Uk's best i think. Total Rites Of Spring, Torches To Rome worship but with their own twist. It feel slike they own that sound. Sceptres do a wave influenced 80's punk thing. Nice, but get this for the FV side. Excellent stuff.
|
|
7" Followed by 37 seconds of Happiness
|
s/t 1 (Apemustnotkillape)
beautiful end 90ies emo from Sweden reminds me bit on the last Suis La Lune LP but a but more heartfelt. Beautiful handmade screen printed covers make this releases a beauty. Wonderful
|
|
7" Furnace / Relics
|
split 4 (Makeshift Origami)
Great split 7"!!! Furnace sound like His Hero Is Gone songs played by Orchid. It works out brilliant. 2 new songs + a dropdead cover. Relics is with people from Ampere and they sound like they could have been on Council records. Intens and violent. also 2 new songs and a No Comment cover. You can't go wrong with this one! recommended.
|
|
7" Get Destroyed
|
Burnt Offerings 4 (Give praise, 625)
Yes!!! Amazing Powerviolence. I know that's all hip etc but this one really delivers the goods. Some Crossed Out and Infest obviously but with massive walls of guitars. Recommended.
|
|
7" Good Wife, the
|
Teeth and Tongue 4 (Superfi)
We played with these guys on our tour in the UK. They were great. A bunch of outcasts playing seriously ugly music. Pretty intense as well. The label describes them as a heady mix of Oxbow, The Jesus Lizard and The Stooges with some seriously weighty literary references. That last part means "i don't get it".. but i do get the first part. Excellent stuff.
|
|
7" Half Gorilla
|
Graceless Beasts 1 (Halo Of Flies)
Powerviolence! or well they would pass for that. They've clearly added some black metal into the mix which works out great. Overall it's fast and ugly and i guess the bandname fits very well for what they do. Think a more punk Teen Cthulhu and you'll pretty much get the picture.
|
|
7" Hatred Surge / Insect Warfare
|
split 7" 4 (rsr)
Woohoo. Two times powerviolence grindcore insanity from Texas. HS got a good Despise You vibe going on, IW do the early Napalm Death thing. Excellent!
|
|
7" Hunger, the
|
Winter 4 (Graanrepubliek, Shield)
Great follow up to their 12" last year. This time they slowed down a bit to give some more room to some midpaced Undertow / Unbroken style heavyness. But don't worry, side B has the Cursed death'n roll pace and breakdown. Bringing back the 90's with some 09's flavour. We love it.
|
|
7" Iconoclast
|
Wit's End 3 (ebullition)
First 7" by this classic emo band. This is a bit hard to compare but if you like your emo noisy and ugly, this is it. Some members also played in Merel i think, which makes sense if you'd compare both bands. Anyway, this is excellent emo/hc.
|
|
7" Inmates
|
Now we talkin hardcore 4 (Even Worse)
Cleveland trash! fast and offensive. Ah you know the deal. Fuck hardcore.
|
|
7" Kakistocracy
|
An apology 4 (halo of flies)
Nice! D-beat from the US. Double vocals and just a bit faster than your average crust outfit. The songs are nothing new but it's aggressive and it's got the right hooks and speed which makes this standing out from the rest.
|
|
7" Karel Anker & De Joden
|
s/t 4 (Demonomonia)
Burly sailorpunk from Holland with socio-political lyrics in Dutch. Six re-recorded songs from their demo (including, of course, the songs Geert Wilders (Krijg de Tering) and Geografisch Gehandicapt) plus an intro that will sound familiar to those who were lucky enough to see one of their liveshows. This 7 is limited to 300 pieces.
|
|
7" Karysun / Year Of No Light
|
split 7" 4 (Destructure)
Year Of No Light bring one track of dark soundwaves mixed with some black metal. Sounds almost like a classical composition. Karysun is a two piece from France doing some murderous havy riffing sounding like Unsane sing stoner songs. Works out quite well.
|
|
7" Kids Explode / Solemn League
|
split 4 (Asymetrie)
ere it is! Kids Explode are featured with a song called "Hotel Rooms" which was recorded together with the songs from their split 7inch with End Of A Year and a remix of their smash hit "Yards and Miles" from the same record. Highly energetic posthardcore - you should know them by now. Solemn League are a quite new post-punk band from Hamburg and Berlin playing music influenced by bands such as Wipers, Mission of Burma, Sonic Youth and Buzzcocks, without stepping into the retro trap though.
Great record
|
|
7" Knife in the leg / Imperial Leather
|
split 4 (sadness of noise)
4 new tracks by Stockholm's finest punk rock outfit with female vocal and more comparisosns to DIRT sound than on previous recordings. On the other side Poland's best 80s hardcore crew with 4 new tracks of pure hardcore energy, melody, rawness anger and fun.
|
|
7" Kursk / Lycantrophy
|
split 4 (Rimbaud)
Short Fast And Loud reviewed this with the words: KURSK play some fucked up, Discordance Axis meets the production values of lo-fi black metal, grindcore. Damaged, swirling guitars over completely buried, almost inaudible drums while a tortured, ghost of a larynx hovers above. Amazing!!! Czech's Lycanthrophy squeeze out a more straightforward grind with excellent production highlighting the rapid fire drumming. Who am I to disagree.
|
|
7" Lies Feed The Machine
|
Gallows 4 (Contraszt)
Two year after their last record Lies feed the machine from Berlin are back with a new great, little piece of vinyl, named Gallows. With Marek of Insuciety and Ex-Mφnster now on drums, their sound has developed in variety and you can expect piercing, metallic guitar riffs and pummeling basslines, backed with heavy n rough d-beat drumming and angry screamed vocals. The record comes with a beautiful, four coloured silkscreen cover (from the Contraszt website)
|
|
7" Los Asesinos de la Superficialidad
|
manifesto 1 (graanrepubliek)
Our first release. Think mike kirsch, think ebullition/gravity.
|
|
7" Lost boys
|
Life.Work.Regret 4 (Trashbastard)
Catchy, mid-tempo hardcore-punk inspired by bands like ANGRY SAMOANS, CIRCLE JERKS or BLACK FLAG among others. Its LOST BOYS 6th release. This new 4 song 7 (including a M.I.A. cover) brings you raging hardcore-punk heavily influenced by the '80 hardcore with a bit of Boston and lots of California in the mix.
|
|
7" Marat
|
Songs from the Crypt 4 (Moment of Collapse)
Available on vinyl now after being only available on cd (i think). The band split up in 2006 and these are the only 4 songs released. Think of a slowed down Shikari with an emphasis on the groove rather than speed i guess. Good stuff.
|
|
7" Masakari
|
Eden Compromised 4 (Halo of Flies)
Nice! some good From ashes rise guitarwork here. Add some double bass action, grinding stuff and moshability and there's your Masakari. Good stuff!
|
|
7" Melete
|
s/t 4 (diy)
Self released 7" from this great band from Slovenia. They do a crusty kind of emoviolence which sounds very 90's. I can assure you they do it totaly the right way. That with a booklet that will remind you of those ebullition days as well we have a winner here. Recommended.
|
|
7" Merkit / Resurrectionists
|
split 4 (React with Protest)
It's mister React with Protest himself again in a band and he pulls it of great. Superb agressive grind/hc mayhem not unlike the older Bremen style bands. Merkit are from the US and do their Left For Dead with bits of melody with class again. Awesome split.
|
|
7" Merkit / Roboteer
|
split 4 (IFB Records)
Two new Merkit songs, one about how we can continue to expect violent reactions to violent foreign policy, and one about the numbing lifestyle of mainstream consumer America. Plus two Left for Dead covers. Merkit plays fast mean hardcore influenced by LEFT FOR DEAD, DROP DEAD etc.. ROBOTEER hails from Talahassee and play very heavy dark and doomy hardcore with gruff vocals and pummeling drums. It just rules and has the right combo of faster parts, thick groove, and just plain pummeling riffs. Excellent stuff. Recommended
|
|
7" Merkit/ Demian
|
split 7 3,50 (deadtankrecords)
Merkit is a pretty new band from Florida (I think) doing a Born Against meets Left for Dead sort of thing. It works very well, we love this. Demian has a more trashy approach and is fast. Very good.
|
|
7" Mob Rules
|
The Donor 4 (Zandor, Superfi)
UK's hottest band around. Well, according to the internet that is. It's some old school violence done properly. Citizens Arrest, Infest, Crossed Out in a blender with plenty of hooks to keep it interesting. nice.
|
|
7" Mob Rules / Crowd Control
|
split 4 (suburban mayhem)
Mob Rules are from Leeds and sound like it, born as they are from a grimy industrial setting. They smartly append the powerviolence rulebook with enough addictive rocking sections to keep you hooked whilst threatening to snap your neck at any moment with their obscenely clever twists.
Crowd Control from Dublin sound more run-of-the-mill in comparison but they still kick major arse with their borderline guilty-pleasure negative hardcore crunch mixing in with massive hammer-blow chord progressions and some of that aforementioned powerviolent stuff. (kunal on collective-zine)
|
|
7" Mohoram Atta
|
s/t 4 (penguin suit)
Awesome!! Heavy crusty punk songs with some ripping black metal thrown in the mix. Think of something between Nema and Takaru. recommended
|
|
7" Mr. Willis of Ohio
|
Eure Welt 1 (Moments of Collapse)
Awesome emo stuff from Switserland, If you like your twinkle guitars, melodies and lots of screaming this is a must have. Great 90's feeling. Shame they split up.
|
|
7" New Brutalism/Hit Self Destruct
|
split 1 (electrichumanproject)
Shellac vs jawbox
|
|
7" Nightstick Justice
|
Mindless Violence 4 (Even Worse)
The 2nd ep by these california rippers. I think it's actualy the other part of the demo put on vinyl. Obviously this is anger taken to the next level.
|
|
7" No Man's Slave / I Resign
|
split 4 (Give Praise)
No Mans Slave is back with even more pulverizing music! Complete with catchy breaks and powerviolence infused blasts, these new songs do not let down. I Resign is new out of Oklahoma City with more of a hardcore approach to the powerviolence spectrum. Fast and over the top, but with some ties into the melodic hardcore feel. Reminds me of Palatka and Charles Bronson for some reason.
|
|
7" Outcold / For The Worse
|
split 4 (Even Worse)
Boston hardcore teams up for a blazing split 7". Outcold do their oldschool hardcore thing, For the Worse rip it up with their insanity. Excellent split.
|
|
7" Party By The Slice / Malparido
|
split 4 (diy)
From MRR; First things first, PARTY BY THE SLICE made me laugh out loud. When was the last time a hardcore record made you laugh out loud?? "You might ask me why I'm so chubby / The answer is stupid people make me hungry." "Veggie sausage and being nice / We love these things, we're PARTY BY THE SLICE / Here's to being old, here's to being single. / Here's to having fun, we fucking rule! / Too old to be posi / still young enough to smile." This is straightforward contemporary hardcore with slight crust leanings and they do everything just right. I love the female backing vocals that yell "Text" once in a while during the first track. Is the best hardcore in the US coming out of Wisconsin these days? I think maybe it is. I've listened to PARTY BY THE SLICE's side of this 7" ten times. Love it! Just found out that the band contains members of GET RAD, PROTESTANT, KUNG FU RICK and ABADDON. No wonder I like it so much. MALPARIDO plays a raw and lo-fi ripping fast hardcore. From New Zealand but sound like lat 90's South American fastcore bands.
|
|
7" Project Hopeless
|
Av Hela Mitt Hjδrta 4 (Distro-Y records)
PROJECT HOPELESS are a raw d-beat punk band from Sweden. Already they have two LPs, another 7" and a split 7" under their belts. This new 7" 'Av Hela Mitt Hjarta' is absolutely incredible. 4 songs of whirlwind, frantic punk that is fast, in your face and full throttle blasts of adrenalin drenched fury. An awesome recording only helps them execute the passion that is already there and makes this a must for lovers of harsh music that is full of heart, anger and meaning. Political lyrics that are heartfelt and you know they mean it. Just think of the likes of OPERATION, PROTESTA, early ENT, DOOM, HOMOMILITIA and a long history of awesome bands that have already come from Sweden. Just incredible and the artwork by Steve from V.O.W. certainly complements whats already there. (Mel Hughes / Profane Existence)
|
|
7" Protestant
|
s/t 1 (Halo OF Flies)
Nice new band from Milwaukee. Dark, heavy and crusty for sure but this keeps being interesting the whole record. Good guitarwork, some nice double bass action and dual vocals make this something you should have a go at. The whole 7 just keeps on rollin in a threathening way. Recommended
|
|
7" Protestant
|
Antagonist 4 (blinddead productions)
Milwaukees Protestant return with a new 7". Crusty hardcore with exciting hooks and melodies. Much in the line of their lp. Awesome stuff if you're into the new breed of dark hardcore like Perth Express, Trainwreck, Mohoramatta etc.
|
|
7" Raging Fugitives
|
s/t 1 (Nakkeskudd)
Straight forward hardcore from Norway. No crust or d-beat but a bunch of kids that are just into speed and punkrock. This is raw and fast. Maybe if Sportswear were a really cool band that knew how to play garage rock then it might sound like this. nice!
|
|
7" Raised By Drunks / Link
|
split 4 (Distro-Y records)
Four songs of harsh fast crust from this Swedish band, known as RAISED BY DRUNKS who are a motley crew of fast mayhem, coupled with slow heavy bits. Anti-government lyrics that add a bite to their already rabid sound and when they are not fighting the system theyll be in the pub causing an equal amount of mayhem. LINK (from Belgium) is slowed down crust, in the vein of AMEBIX, later ANTISECT and AXEGRINDER. A monolithic power house of subdued energy, channelled through powerful landscapes of putrid aggression. A dirty sound and minging view on society. (Mel Hughes / Profane Existence)
|
|
7" Raiser / Forced March
|
split 1 (Humildad y Honestad)
A split record between Spains Raiser and US Forced March. Raiser have some elements which you might expect from spanish bands like E150. Dual vocals, fast but slightly heavier. Good. Forced March are a bit more traditional crusty hc. Nothing you haven't heard before. Do get this for the Raiser side though!
|
|
7" Roskopp
|
s/t 4 (Crucificados)
Grind. Not much more to say really. It's on the heavy side and it's damn good, they even do a Phobia cover. Can't really go wrong with this.
|
|
7" Rot in Hell / The Process
|
split 4 (Feast Of Tentacles)
Rot in Hell arre UK's answer to Integrity. Well not really but they sure listened carefully to them and even have Dwid on some additional vocals. Brutal stuff. The Process obviosuly listened to the same band but add some slowness to the works. Nice. With Killer artwork from Scrawled. Excellent.
|
|
7" Ruidosa Inmundicia
|
demo 2004 7" 4 (waybackwhen)
After their amazing ep and split lp their demo from 2004 is
available again, this time on vinyl .
Fast and furious hardcore with brutal female vocals and lyrics in spanish on top of that.
|
|
7" Rush 'n Attack
|
Donut/Hole 4 (Crucial Attack)
Awesome band from Groningen. Think of Black Flag playing new Bomb Turks Songs. It's agressive to some extent but at the same time danceable. Only let down is that the song Donut/Hole is not actualy about food.
|
|
7" Rush 'n Attack
|
White Smoke 4 (Crucial Attack)
Punkrock!. Tense, twangy lead guitar playing over screamed vocals with a Henry Rollins intensity. The arrangements have a tight, MINUTEMEN flavour, though RushN Attack clearly rocks on the side of hardcore. For fans of Black Flag, Annihilation Time, Fucked Up and New Bomb Turks.
|
|
7" Sadville / Acts Of Sedition
|
split 4 (Inkblot)
Sadville delivers a song in three parts which showcases southern influenced stoner crust metal. Acts Of Sedition combine the dark crust sounds of bands like Born/Dead and Tragedy with the early '90s political NYHC of Citizens Arrest and Nausea. great split
|
|
7" Seasick
|
Ennui 4 (Refuse)
Seasick take another step to the front of the New Jersey hardcore scene, bridging the gap between local heroes Endeavor, who crossed politics with mid-'90s crunch, and Tear It Up, who blazed a trail of fast, thrashing hardcore punk.
|
|
7" SeeinRed
|
s/t 4 (waybackwhen)
This band needs no introduction.
8 coversongs by the dutch veterans as part of their 20 year anniversary.
|
|
7" Shitstorm / The Gentle Art Of Chokin
|
split 4 (RSR)
The second piece of vinyl by Hamburg's thrash torpedo T.G.A.O.C., 7 more tunes that pick up where they left off after
their 7 debut in 2006. to the point, tight as fuck, still pulling the strings, ranging between something that once was
called Powerviolence and ripping 80s thrashcore! just as somebody mentioned before: putting the Hardcore back into Hardcore!!
After their smashing split 12, Miamis supernova of grindcore aka SHITSTORM deliver us some more immense assaults of
blistering whirlwind-grind, that dont let any time to draw breath in between! absolutely determined to disassemble
everything in range!!
|
|
7" Shitty Limits
|
Here are the limits 4 (Static Shock)
This band has a way of cramming the entire history of rock 'n' roll into a single 90sec. track. It's like CHUCK BERRY, the KINKS, and the 1977 lineup of WIRE got together in some alternate universe to jam on some MINOR THREAT tunes. This is a repress but yeah it's essential.
|
|
7" Shredder
|
Damnit Riggs 1 (Holy Shit!)
These guys must have listened to Negative Approach and a lot later trash and powerviolence. It's fast and catchy. Loads of breaks and short stops. Great stuff.
|
|
7" Sick Mormons
|
s/t 1 (Gummopunx)
From the squats of Amsterdam here's Sick Mormons. Probably one of the best things to come out of that city for years. Great melodic punkrock which sometimes reminds me of Dag Nasty and Articles Of Faith with hints of Husker Du. Amazing.
|
|
7" Sinaloa / Catena Collapse
|
split 4 (Narshardaa)
Two sides of excellent emo. Sinaloa doing their Van Pelt -ish calm twinkle emo while Catena Collapse gives it a Bob Tilton like swing. Great stuff.
|
|
7" Smashrooms
|
The wind of tomorrow 4 (epidemic)
The Smashrooms are from Brescia, Italy. Passionate and intense political charged hardcore, mixing old school hardcore with a modern approach. Pretty melodic, sung vocals not screamed. Quite good.
|
|
7" Snowing
|
Fuck Your Emotional Bullshit 4 (Square Of Opposition)
Four songs of jangly emo/indie rock for fans of Cap n Jaz and Braid. Cool Stuff.
|
|
7" Submerge/Karras
|
split 1 (shogun)
|
|
7" Surrender / Acts of Sedition
|
split 4 (Penguin Suit)
Two tracks from Oakland's SURRENDER, who are a total throwback to 80's English peace punk with a slight hint of riot grrrl. and one track from ACTS OF SEDITION, who borrow punk and hardcore sounds from Black Flag as well as modern heavyweights such as Artimus Pyle and Hot Cross with overtly political lyrics. Excellent stuff.
|
|
7" Sweet Empire
|
The Flood 5 (Black Death)
Melodic punkrock with a message. Think Dag Nasty / All / Descendents and you'll pretty much have the picture. Comes with a discography cd (hence the price)
|
|
7" Tempers Rise
|
my bout with.... 1 (wastedyouthpower)
the dutch honeywell. Screaming, distorted noise... pretty awesome actualy.
|
|
7" The Phoenix Foundation/Red Cabaret
|
split 1 (DIY)
TPF are much like a Finnish husker du, punkpop played very well. Red C are poppy as well except their song takes about 7 minutes.
|
|
7" The Scarlet letter
|
pure unadulterated adultery 1 (assault)
Sounds like dagnasty played by palatka.
|
|
7" Time To Escape
|
s/t 4 (Grave Mistake)
Washington DC's TIME TO ESCAPE tear through five tracks no frills DC HARDCORE akin to early GOVERNMENT ISSUE or THE FAITH. Originally recorded as a demo with about 200 circulated, these tracks ripped too hard to fade into demo tape obscurity ... so here they are remastered and in vinyl format. Proof that our nation's capital can still churn out the fast, seething, pissed off hardcore that put it on the map in the first place.
|
|
7" Tunguska / Karaktermoord
|
split 7" 4 (restock, Graanrepubliek)
This was sold out from us but i got a couple from Hollow Soul in stock again. Tunguska are from Ireland and lay down some thick walls guitars over a furious d-beat attack. Karaktermoord from the Netherlands treat us some Born Against vs His Hero Is Gone tunes. Lovely chaps, lovely music, lovely 7".
|
|
7" Unquartomorto
|
annusarsi, scegliersi, lamentarsi 4 (Shove)
Fast Italian hardcore. Very much like the fast spanish bands. Not because i don't speak italian but it has the same aggresive vibe and speed as E150 or Gulag.
|
|
7" War All The Time / The Horror
|
split 4 (Zandor)
Furious split 7" by these veterans from the UK. WATT has the swedish vibe all over. Thundering all over. The Horror has that fast oldschool feel. Nice.
|
|
7" We Need To Talk
|
It's not us, it's you 4 (IFB Records)
In your face power violence (or trash hardcore how you call it today) from Lousiana. Good stuff
All records have screentprinted covers and are bound like a book. Looks and sound fuckin' awesome.
|
|
7" White Male Dumbinance
|
Forced Vengeance 4 (Missing Link)
Amazing! Obviously for fans of Infest, Crossed Out and Extortion. Twelve songs on 7", you know the deal. But not just straight forward. Many hooks and twists here, almost "original". They took their name from BGK and their singer wears a Big Boys shirt. This band is almost perfect. VERY RECOMMENDED.
|
|
7" Whole in the Head
|
reclaim your future 4 (Opiate - Tadpole)
A right bloody rager here from Whφle In The Head and make no mistake: 12 raw blasts of raging, politicised Discharge-meets-Dropdead punk-fucking-rock that razes the posturing and prickery of modern-day hardcore to the ground. Each and every track is pretty much gone before you know it, fit to burst with scathing ire and the steadfast belief that things should and could be better. The unruly aural sack-kicking that occurs when you set needle to wax is accompanied by a chunky sod of a booklet thats not too dissimilar to the one that came with that old Kitchener 7, tying the whole thing up with thoughts, words and imagery to match the sheer vitriol of the music itself. (alex deller for collective-zine)
|
|
7" xbrainiax / su19b
|
split 4 (Crucificados)
Nice work. XBX from the US are insanely fast Charles Bronson-like hardcore. No fills just hysteria. Su19b are from Japan and deliver one ultra slow song with some droning underneath. Excellent job both bands.
|
|
7" Young Governor
|
English Tim 4 (Static Shock)
en from Fucked Up's side project. Unlike a lot of guitarist side projects, this shit doesn't decend into a mess of delay pedals and harmonic solos. Also, unlike most guitar players, brother really can sing.
'English Tim' is the pick of his tracks, a complete lofi pop punk classic, it kind of sounds like a teenage garagey Mission of Burma if they had girl backup singers and threw their ear defenders away. RECOMMENDED
