10" Battle of Wolf 359 / Resurrectionists
|
split 8 (7 degrees, rwp)
Resurrectionists play pulverizing grinding HC with touches of melodic chords amidst the chaos. This band is tight, very heavy, and has multiple vocalists. Very fast played drums and guitar, distorted bass riffs and desperate voices extol the end of the world. Once again Resurrectionists built a solid bridge between the banks of emoviolence and grindcore. If you allready got their LP you might have idea what you can expect. Battle Of Wolf 359 play brilliant screamo with female and male vocals. Heavy guitarriffs and harsh played drums lay into slow parts to break out in chaos again in the next moment. Very well done songwriting that will catch your ears if you are into music of this kind. The records comes in a nice silkscreened cover.
|
|
10" California Cult Crap / Grind nation
|
split 10" 8 (DevilsEject)
CxCxCx produce raw and angry hardcore punk with fastcore influences. GxNx create a bastard of grindcore, hardcore punk and a bit of thrash metal. Hand numbered out of 500 and all are on white vinyl.
|
|
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 4 (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" Grinding Halt / Drainland
|
split 7 (De Graanrepubliek)
Our latest release. Dutch vs Irish brutality. Three songs from GH which sounds somewhere between Left For Dead and From Ashes Rise. Drainland come on their first release with two songs which remind us of Unruh playing Dystopia songs. Serious negative stuff by friendly people.
|
|
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 4 (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" SeeinRed / Shikari
|
split 6 (diy)
From the original pressing, but with new artwork. SR deliver some of their best songs up to date including a cover of Myth Of Freedom by Manliftingbanner. Shikari have 4 songs on this in their hyperactive Uranus / orchid style. Classic 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 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 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 4 (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 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 Freighter
|
Graves and Monuments 9 (vendetta)
black freighter's sound is dirty ; downtuned guitars , lots of feedback ; brutal and aggressive vocals ; you can hear influences from eye hate god to godflesh to coalesce and his hero is gone ; a perfect mix of sludge / industrial / hardcore
|
|
12"/lp Black Shape Of Nexus / Kodiak
|
split 10 (Denovali)
One heavy split lp. B.son deliver one track of their signature doom. Slow and dark with loads of noise and growling vocals. Kodiak do a sort of similar, maybe more polished thing but without the vocals. One droning song. If you're into he likes of SunnO)), Earth and the likes this is your thing.
|
|
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 4 (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 Blood I Bleed / Massgrav
|
split 8 (Fast'n Furious)
Tentatively planned to be released on cult SOUND POLLUTION label, here comes the LP
version of the split between BLOOD I BLEED and MASSGRAV. The all-new LP
consists of unrelenting, ultra-fast songs by the Dutch masters of non-stop thrash/grind/punk,
BLOOD I BLEED, and MASSGRAV, the Swedish kings of fast punk/thrash fury.
The bands have recorded respectively 12 and 13 songs each. If you are into HERESY,
INTENSE DEGREE, S.O.B., MOB 47, KRIGSHOT, YACOPSEAE, MY MINDS MINE,
HELLNATION, and SIEGE then this split is a 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 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 / Mio
|
split 9 (moment of collapse)
Both Bands contribute two songs to this wonderful split. Captain, your ship is sinking continue, where they stopped on their debut LP. Two long songs with great combination of slowly, atmospheric parts followed by harder fast played parts, always with very catchy melodies. The Vocals swith between spoken and harsh screamed parts. On the split side Mio contribute their best two songs so far. Different to their earlier releases these songs are much longer. This Duo (only guitar and drums) play some kind of 90s style.
|
|
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 Chambers
|
s/t 9 (Shove)
This is with ex-members of Italy's violent breakfast. So i expected some emo-violence sort of stuff. Wrong. This is very dc like at times with later Fugazi en Jawbox coming to mind. I kind of like it yes.
|
|
12"/lp Citizens Patrol
|
s/t 9 (Waybackwhen)
One of Hollands best hardcore bands finally recorded an LP. If you think these guys have slowed down, you are wrong !
Fourteen new tracks plus an old classic in a new version. USHC done by the dutch..
|
|
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 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 Defect Defect
|
s/t 9 (Taken By Surprise)
Fighting their way out of the basement comes Portlands DEFECT DEFECT with their best record to date! After two quality Eps and constant touring, Defect Defect hit it just perfect with their catchy-as-hell melodic punk style that hits hard with Colins spastic and blunt vocal style with Adams excellent song writing. Tracks like Stolen Ground and Post Apocalypse are perfect bookends of this argent and essential LP. Featuring ex and current members of the Observers, Autistic Youth, the Minds, Clorox Girls and the excellent Arctic Flowers this record will stick out over the pile of vinyl coming out in 2010. Do not miss out on this exciting band!
|
|
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
|
We carry the fire 8 (react with protest)
the latest output of tennessees epic loudness monsters. still very melodic and atmospheric but with a big potion of heavy rock to it
|
|
12"/lp Dolcim
|
Guillotine Ride 8 (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 4 (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 4 (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 Drainland
|
And so our troubles began 8 (Graanrepubliek)
Here it is. The long awaited full length by Irish finest. Darker and heavier than on their split 10"with Grinding Halt. More noise and sludge elements and a massive sound. If you're into the likes of Unruh, Dystopia, Gasp, Godflesh and His Hero is Gone, this is something you should check out. Absolutely amazing.
|
|
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 4 (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 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 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 Hatred Surge
|
Deconstruct 9 (RSR)
Amazing. The 7" on Painkiller was a bit of a let down but on here HS is back on track. Much more like the split with Endless Blockade or the debut 7". Huge production. Something for fans of Iron Lung, Despise You and the likes.
|
|
12"/lp Highgate
|
shrines to the warhead 9 (Vendetta)
Highgate, a Kentucky trio of escaped mental patients play nasty sludge in the vein of Burning Witch, Toadliquor, Grief, Noothgrush, Winter, Wreck of the Hesperus and Corrupted
|
|
12"/lp Hiro / Almathea
|
split 4 (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 Horror, the
|
Spoils Of War 9 (Zandor)
the second full length album from The Horror. Spoils of War see's the band at their absolute best, still raging, pissed off and fast as hell whilst being brutally heavy. 15 songs of hardcore in the vein of Discharge, Voorhees, SS Decontrol and Negative Approach.
|
|
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 ...4 (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 In Disgust / PLF
|
split 9 (RSR)
In Disgust side is 11 songs of violent HC grind with bits of powerviolence. Raw like the ugliness of real life, ID build it up and barrel through these tracks with a blasting, no bullshit pace, and a heaviness you expect from West Coast Powerviolence. On the flipside, PLF unleash track after track of relentless, thrashing grindcore. Tons of circle-pitting thrash metal parts and ultra tight stops punctuate the endless killing of this Gulf Coast Grind machine. Top notch recording, and cover art by Daniel Shaw (Insect Warfare, War Master).
|
|
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 Kaddish
|
s/t 8 (Parade of spectres)
Seriously immense emo hardcore. Chaotic riffs countered with the right amount of melodic relief. Tunes that will worm their way into your head and leave you singing, faux accented into your shower curtain imagining you were Tayside.
The cover art work complements the music perfectly, bleak and introspective. The record comes with the closest thing we're going to get to lyrics and a few musings from their wordsmith to boot.
For fans of Jeromes Dream and Badiou. Sorry Scotland, you just lost your best kept secret.
|
|
12"/lp Keitzer
|
As the world burns 4 (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
|
Life/Less 8 (Discos Huelga)
Loma Prieta vomits up yet another intense wallop of crazyness. Scorching vocals,
electrifying guitar, and the overbearing bass all coincide with each other to bring their
hardest and most refined album to date. Shame it's so short though...
|
|
12"/lp Loma Prieta
|
Last City 8 (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 Lotus Fucker
|
s/t 9 (RSR)
Debut 12" from this Japanese-inspired band from Washington, DC. While these guys are clearly inspired by the noise-not-music approach of bands like Gai and Confuse (I think I even read somewhere that they have an upcoming split with the Wankys), there's a lot more than your typical "myspace crust" going on here... what particularly stands out are some blazing, Death Side-esque guitar leads. The result is a really fascinating combination of contemporary and classic Japanese hardcore styles. Fucker killer LP.

12"/lp Lucifers Mob
|
discography 9 (crucificados)
this legendary german hardcore, grind, powerviolence outfit existed from 1992 to 1996 and at that time they were one of those famous european counterbalance to the so called powerviolence scene in the states where bands as crossed out, no comment, lack of interest did shape this type of music .. this discography contains songs from the "close your eyes and see death", "whispers", "die human race", "plot", "up for grabs" compilations, the rare demo, the 7" and the split lp with golgatha .. all in all 50 songs .. all lp's come with an extensive booklet and the original poster from the golgatha split .. only 500 copies were made .. so hurry up to get your hands on this masterpiece .. essential stuff

|
12"/lp Masakari
|
The Prophet Feeds 9 (Scarecrow)
Masakari unleash a devastating blend of d-beat crust and anxious hardcore descendant to His Hero Is Gone and From Ashes Rise, as well as more punk/crust founders G.I.S.M. and Discharge, and adopt these classic styles to their own point-blank, by-the-throat approach."
|
|
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 Millions Of Them
|
Failures 9 (Adagio830)
MILLIONS OF THEM play angry heavy hardcore that reminds me on all those end 90ies hardcore bands like BOTCH, meets NINE IRON SPITFIRE etc.. Brutal, heartfelt and dirty. Recorded at Fat Soundz, Mixed from Kurt Balou at God City and Mastered from Josh Bonati.
|
|
12"/lp Movies, the

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.

s/t 4 (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 ... 4 (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 Nadja / Kodiak

Droning shoegaze would be a way descrive this lp. Naddja on the more heavier side of what they usualy do. One monotone track of just guitars and bass. Kodiak has more flow and melodies but don't wander too far away from the droning path. Impressive record.
|
|
12"/lp Nadja / Ovo
|
The Life and Death of a Wasp split 9 (Adagio/Vendetta)
Over the last few dogs days of summer 2008, Italys OvO and Canadas Nadja, got together in their adoptive city of Berlin at Einstόrzende Neubautens andereBaustelle Studio. With engineer Boris Wilsdorf at the board, each duo began two songs and had the other duo finish them, Bruno and Stefania adding heavy, pounding rhythms and harsh, eerie vocals to Aidan and Leahs ambient textures and bass-heavy drones.
|
|
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 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 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 Profit and Murder
|
Mother natures afterbirth 8 (DIY)
Crusty D-Beat from Bremen with people of World Chaos and Hellhaak!
|
|
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 Pyramido / Gun Mob
|
split 9 (Behind the scenes)
swedish doom / sludge monsters PYRAMIDO return with 2 more hateful songs, bringing to mind eye hate god ... but also integrity...
gun mob from germany, feat. members of black shape of nexus deliever 9 songs of angry d-beat hardcore. recommended.
|
|
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 4 (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 4 (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 Rush 'n Attack
|
The Pitch 9 (Crucial Attack)
The first full length by these punkrockers. Bit of different turn here. The obvious snotty Black Flag vibe from their 7"s is less present this time. Sounds like their singer actualy learned how to "sing" and this time there's loads of almost Hot Snakes kind of hooks and riffs. But this all works out pretty good. Less outburst but more songs. We dig it.
|
|
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 Sandcreek Massacre / Years Of Decay
|
split 8 (Crashlanding)
SCM obviously being Hollands leading d-beat crew. They added a bit more of the "epic" to their sound, which works quite well. Nice. Years of Decay are from France and have a bit more straight forward approach. custy vibes!
|
|
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 4 (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 4 (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
|
Bondage 8 (Crucial Attack)
Sunpower from Belgium return with another 10 songs of good oldschool punk/hardcore. Again they succeed in mixing the urge and speed of Minor Threat with the catchyness and punkfeel of the Dead Kennedys. Great band, great release!
|
|
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 9 (vendetta) restock
Vinyl split between two caustic, nihilistic U.S. bands, with Thou's ultra-heavy, depressive sludge combining well with Leech's depressive, atmospheric, transcendental black metal. Recommended
|
|
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 / Moloch
|
split 10 (Feast Of Tentacles)
Another Thou split lp. This time with a abnd that might actualy be heavier than they are; Moloch. Thou do what they do best. Sludgy, slow and mean but with melody. Moloch are more blunt. Heavy and slow but with a more aggressive undertone.
|
|
12"/lp Time To Burn
|
Is.Land 4 (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 much better and over the top. This is much more aggressive. I like it a lot.
|
|
12"/lp Titan
|
Colossus 9 (React with Protest)
latest and real late release of these old songs from TITAN but so far the best recorded stuff i ve heard from them...
|
|
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 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 4 (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 Connections II
|
9 (moments of collapse)
nternational emo / screamo comp. feat.: ADORNO ; THE SADDEST LANDSCAPE ; SUIS LA LUNE ; CAPTAIN, YOUR SHIP IS SINKING ; ISAIAH and KIAS FANSURI
|
|
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 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" Abolition / Hang the Bastard
|
split 4 (Hit Time Records)
Two excellent bands from London, UK. Hang The Bastard have two songs on here that continue in the same vein as their mcd. Incredibly metallic hardcore with sick vocals, there are plenty of Ringworm/Integrity/Kickback influences throughout but they also have more doom & straight up metal influences. Abolition totally falls in the '90s hardcore category with their up-tempo hardcore that's similar to bands like Strife, Unashamed, Outspoken and Trial. Quality stuff.
|
|
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" Agents Of Abhorrence / Roskopp
|
split 4 (Crucificados)
two of australias finest grind bands team up for this great split. 5 new tracks from Agents Of Abhorrence and 3 new tracks from Roskopp. outstanding artwork with luxurious varnished printing.
|
|
7" Antillectual
|
Pull the Plug 4 (Shield)
Pull the Plug contains 2 brand new Antillectual songs and 2 oldies done Acoustic.
|
|
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 1 (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" 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" Bloody Gears
|
s/t 4 (Taken By Surprise)
Their 2009 selftitled demo was a breath of fresh air, as the folks at MRR put it in issue # 315: "This band already has a sound that's their own, but likely draws from THE OBSERVERS and LEATHERFACE,and there's something very Midwest about these songs as well, making me think of early ARTICLES OF FAITH and HUSKER DU." I can also hear Greg Sage's WIPERS in those songs. Now their first piece of vinyl sees the light of day. 3 songs of dark melodic mayhem. 2 new songs and a re-recorded version of TAKE A RIDE from the demo.
|
|
7" Bokanovsky / Lakme
|
split 7" 4 (whole bunch of labels)
So here it is, after more than a year and a half, the split bφkanφvsky / lakmι is available. It took a long time but it has been worth the wait. The 7" comes with a huge booklet / fanzine with various writings by the band & labels that are involved. The record/ fanzine is about «psychatry/mental illness». All 7" comes with silk screen covers ... Very 90's, very ebullition, but with some modern flavours added.
|
|
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" Canadian Rifle
|
Facts 4 (Taken By Surprise)
In time for their first European adventure a new 7" by Chicago's CANADIAN RIFLE! Jordan Atkins from their US label put it this way: "Following up their amazing LP last year, this new EP has one of the best songs they have ever written (Blank Trade) and hit it hard with two of the fastest songs they have ever recorded on the B-side."
|
|
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" Constant State Of Terror
|
War with no end 1 (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" 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 1 (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" Drip of Lies
|
s/t 4 (Scarecrow)
Drip Of Lies are five dudes hailing from Poland, playing four heavy songs in the vein of
Tragedy with desperate personal lyrics. Amazing, deep and powerful recording.
|
|
7" Dude Japan / Weed Hounds
|
split 4 (sncl)
Long Island indie rock unite!! Dude Japan plays 90s styled lo fi indie rock/pop like Velocity Girl, Further, Superchunk and Tiger Trap. While on the flip side Weed Hounds play a style that is a mix between Swirlies, My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr. A limited pressing of 300 with full color covers.
|
|
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
|
Terminal Cancer 4 (Waybackwhen)
Ten more tracks by these aussie maniacs. This time around it's not a proper studio recording but " Raw as Piss " recordings as mentioned in the liner notes. In case you think life stopped after Infest, this might be of your interest
|
|
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" 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" 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" Hammers
|
s/t 4 (diy)
Debut 7" from these crust'n roll worshippers. Lots of Cursed and modern heavy stuff. Quite enjoyable.
|
|
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" IZBA WYTRZEZWIEN
|
On N'Est Pas Bien ΰ L'Ombre 4 (shogun)
7 song EP made in Breizh. Anarcho-hardcore with hints of Finn Crust - mean d-beat. Charge of female vocals add a real great vibe to this relentless rager.
|
|
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 1 (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" M:40 / Sandcreek Massacre
|
split 4 (Halvfabrikat)
On these three new tracks by M:40 they continue to develop their hardcore/crust sound. It's fast aggressive, but they aren't afraid to lower the tempo and perform some crushing tones and powerful rhythms as well. Faster and slower crustcore in a well executed blend.
Sand Creek Massacre are more dark in their approach and falls under the category of "modern crustcore". Loads of melodies and crustness. Solid 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 / 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" Moloch / Corpus dei
|
split 4 (Feast Of Tentacles)
Moloch deliver one track of their Eyehategod-esque misery. Corpus Dei play three tracks of heavy hitting ugly hardcore in the vein of Unruh and Gehenna. Filthy stuff.
|
|
7" Never Again
|
Pressure 4 (Hit Time Records)
Never Again are a relatively new band from Kent, UK playing fast straight-edge hardcore, with what feels like a powerviolence/grindcore influence. It's fast, it's got the breaks and loads of energy. Good lyrics on top of that. Nice one!
|
|
7" Never Again / Mind Trap
|
split 4 (Crucificados)
Never Again from the UK play superfast sxe hardcore with bits of powerviolence. Mind Trap from Austria choose a more heavier approach. Something for the TrashTalk and Mind Eraser fans.
|
|
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" Parlementarisk Sodomi / Blodsprut
|
split 4 (Crucificados)
10 new tracks from Norway's Parlamentarisk Sodomi. a 5 minutes long nonstop blast which sets a new high standard in modern gindcore. you will scratch your eyeballs out when you hear this - some of the most unrelenting grindcore since INSECT WARFARE and the most radical crusty punked up grind heard in the last decade. Blodsprut is grindcore in its purest form. Norway's noise artists Anders Hana (MoHa! / Ultralyd / Noxagt) and Patrick Petterson recorded a sonic statement of drastic metalic radicalism, paying tribute to the days of old school grind, noisecore and mixing it up with some hysterical noise rock interludes. With just two percussion kits, vocals, distortion and noise they conjure complex rhythmic blasts, evil feedback tortures and interfuse them with demonic howls from the deepest pits of hell.
|
|
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" Positive Noise / Xtra Vomit
|
split 4 (ifb records)
Positive Noise blazes through with thick heavy HC and a never give up attitude. Xtra Vomit now has a live drummer and you are not ready for what happened. Pained lyrics struggling to find hope and meaning rage over grinding never-let-up HC. A heavier Ottawa might be a good starting point.
|
|
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
|
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
|
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" SATAN / After The Last Sky
|
split 4 (Crucificados)
UK's blackcore gentlemen vs fast polish hardcore thrash. After The Last Sky with new songs. black metal inspired grind with epic doom, sludge parts a real outburst of anger, full of raging guitars, tight fast drums, desperate vocals, deep grunts and even some blackish scream. poland's S.a.t.a.n. deliver more stuff of their patented grinding thrash hurrican which appeals to fans of rorschach, dystopia, dicordance axis. brutal stuff from both bands!
|
|
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" Seein Red
|
s/t 4 (Waybackwhen)
This band needs no introduction.
8 songs by the dutch veterans. All coversongs by their favorite bands in honor of their 25th birthday
|
|
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" 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" Sofy Major / Her Breath On Glass
|
split 4 (IFB records)
er Breath on Glass is two guys who played in the Last 40 Seconds and Saddest Landscape and continue to display mastery of the 90's emo tradition. The calm instrumental breaks to noisy, pained guitar, wonderful drumming and passionate strained vocals. Sofy Major hails from France and continues France's legendary emo tradition. If Mihai Edrisch had a child with Envy and that child was noisy and unruly, that's what this sounds like. Thick pounding riffs give way to a noisy exit, all with the screamed vocals that the French have always excelled at.
|
|
7" State Poison
|
s/t 4 (Shogun)
MRR:Make no mistake, these Frenchies plus one Floridian sleep cuddled next to their DISORDER records, passed out with a gluebag in hand. The glue fumes work to help them create the magnificient chaotic madness that is STATE POISON. They've got the sound pretty nailed down. Most of the songs feature a variety of gurgles, blarghs, and random shouts from the vocalist. STATE POISON align with SWANKYS or early CONFUSE, before lumping it in with the crasher crust scene. Overall, STATE POISON has enough ineptness, ridiculousness, catchiness, and creativity to pull this style off.
|
|
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" 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" Thou / Black September
|
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" 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" Twisted
|
Stockholm 4 (artforblind)
3 songs of revolution summer emo from Leeds. Features members of State Run (rip), Facel Vega, Spectrals and Held by Hands. Sounds a bit like those bands but with a more punkrock feel to it. Nice one!
|
|
7" Unquartomorto
|
annusarsi, scegliersi, lamentarsi 1 (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" 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.
