Filter: 7"-es 10"-es 12"/lp's CD's 12"/lp A.I. Discography €5 (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 Amarok s/t €9 (Halo Of Flies) Dark, brooding, heavy and intense. Members of THE MAKAI lay down a energetic lava-esque doom with noice harmonies, triple vocals. AMAROK have made the surprise-release of 2011. Due to the fact that they blend funeral, stoner and ambient doom-metal styles so well, this should be high on many an doomster's shopping list. For fans of KHANATE, WEEDEATER, BURNING WITCH and GRIEF and more ambient heavy styles. 12"/lp Amen Ra Mass III dlp €15 (Music Fear Satan) This is the third press of the first record Amen Ra recorded. This really defines the AMEN RA sound : a mix between dark post-metal and rough sludge with screamy and oppressive vocals. Like the previous press on SOUND DEVASTATION, it includes the four tracks of "Mass III" and two bonus tracks which initially appeared on "Mass II" ("From Birth to Grave, from Shadow to Light" et "Ritual"). This gatefold 2xLP is limited to 1.000 copies, 300 on dark green on 700 on black. 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 Attack Of The Mad Axeman Systematic Death Slaughter €9 (RSR) Animalgrind is future and future is now. In the first 4 years of their existence ATTACK OF THE MAD AXEMAN have proven, that animals are unrenounceable for grindcore in general, and that even without releasing a split with AGATHOCLES, UNHOLY GRAVE. Now, "systematic death slaughter" is their 3rd full-length and still these guys are sticking to the spirit of true old- schoolish grindcore. They deliver 26 songs that are straight to the point and as fast as snails and turtles can go. Although there's only 3 tracks starting with a snare countdown, this record has everything that decent grindcore needs: good music and a message. 12"/lp Aussitot Mort Discography €15 (Adagio830) AUSSITOT MORT from CAEN are one of our favourite french bands. After releasing lots of great records that all went out of print (like the 12" on level plan etc) - this DLP contains the 4 songs from their first LP, the songs from the from the split with Balboa, they whole material from the Montuenga LP and some songs that have been never released on vinyl before. 12"/lp Austrasian Goat / Hollow Sunshine split €9 (Vendetta) limited to 300 copies, handnumbered, with silk screened covers "Two solo dirging monsters team up. HS delivers a pummeling, industrial sewer while TAG goes rather eclectic ... the b-side features a wild blackened shoegaze meets industrial psych piece by way of a collaboration between the two." 12"/lp Autistic Youth Idle Minds €5 (Sabotage) Driving, melodic punk/hardcore with dark, swirling undercurrents. Catchy but not at all vapid. Sounding like a cross between Portland, Southern California, and Copenhagen, you could compare this to bands like THE OBSERVERS, NO HOPE FOR THE KIDS, REAGAN YOUTH, or ADOLESCENTS. Excellent record. 12"/lp Bacchus s/t €9 (Contraszt) Housed in a gorgeously hefty production, the long-awaited debut LP from Irealnd’s BACCHUS is a tense and hulking assault of millenium-era progressive crusty hardcore. With Elements of FROM ASHES RISE and KYLESA forming a raging, spiralling monument of caustic desperation, this is never reductive. Refusing to take the easy option and revelling in a staunchy progressive approach to hardcore, this is like NEUROSIS raised on amphetamine and tempered with weed: excellent. 12"/lp Bastards Siberian Hardcore €9 (Hoehnie) Repress of a classic finnish punkrock album. These guys defined a whole genre it seems. 12"/lp Batillus Furnace €10 (Vendetta) Big on atmosphere, big on time and big on tone, the first album from Brooklyn doomers Batillus is a bleak, oppressive six-song outing that’s bound to ring their name out among the underground converted. Doom heads, be aware. The band, which formed as an instrumental trio and later added be-dreadlocked vocalist Fade Kainer (Inswarm, Jarboe, occasionally Man’s Gin), have unleashed a monster in Furnace. With one guitar, one bass, one set of drums, one vocalist and a host of effects and synths, they set up posts along a range of heavy-footed doomscapes — which, contrary to the album’s title, actually sound quite cold — managing to incorporate some of post-metal’s progressive ideology while almost completely avoiding the now-clichéd traps of that genre. Fans of Suma, Unearthly Trance, Ufomammut and other drone-conscious neo-doomers will want to take note of the four-piece’s methodology, impressive and punishing in equal measure as it is 12"/lp Bernays Propaganda My Personal Holiday €4 (Narshardaa) New album from Macedonian political new wavey post-punks BERNAYS PROPAGANDA, entitled "my personal holiday". BERNAYS PROPAGANDA praise the postulates and attributes which many post-punk and new-wave revivalists have forgotten. With their best intentions they mantain the ideas and attitudes of a long line of bands such as GANG OF FOUR, SLITS, FUGAZI, SUBMISSION HOLD, !!!, GOSSIP... Their danceable punk doesn't try to escape reality, but also refuses to accept status quo. BERNAYS PROPAGANDA don't want escapist entertainment - they're utopistically but honestly fighting for a better world. 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 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 / 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 Bloody Phoenix War, Hate and Misery €8 (625) Featuring ex-members of LA's cult grinders Excruciating Terror, Bloody Phoenix takes up where ExTx left off - blistering, no fluff, straight forward grindcore a la early Napalm Death. Twenty-six tracks that won't disappoint. (2007) 12"/lp Brutal Knights Blown To Completion €10 (Deranged) The tapeworm of sickness which these manic Canadians kept on feeding with their 2 previous records is finally "blown 2 completion". If the BRUTAL KNIGHTS have already been fast in the past those new tracks really race like a heart on cheap amphetamines. Rumors say that singer Nick has been gargling bleach for weeks to impersonate his idol Damian of FUCKED UP in some of the mid-tempo bashers, and they even mistreat an innocent drumcomputer and crank out a wild electro-punk tune that sounds like CASSANDRA COMPLEX on cold turkey. This dozen of rotten eggs truly can't get any sicker and will blow you completely 2 shreds! 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 €9 (Sons Of Vesta) Straight out from Richmond, Virginia, the catalyst is a blatantly grunge, stoner punkrock four-piece. Elements and influences took from nirvana, the melvins and city of caterpillar, rearranged in a modern, more chaotic and noisy version to deliver a gargantuan raging beast caged in a tiny plastic slab. 12"/lp Chambers s/t €4 (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 Cloud Rat / Oily Menace / Wolbachia 3 way split €9 (IFB Records) Here's another impressive LP coreleased by IFB and Black House Records. Here's a description from IFB record's blog: A three way split of vicious HC and grind. Michigan's Cloud Rat continues their assault with crushing riffs which lapse into grinding violence, all backed up by some of the most palpably pained vocals I've ever heard. Fellow Michiganders The Oily Menace rip through ugly, heavy as hell old school low vocals grindcore with political lyrics and even using some classic folk song lyrics (no folk in the music though I promise). While you try to reattach your face after the first two, Canada's Wolbachia works on giving you a stroke as they slash through some non-traditional grind that sounds like having a heartattack in a swarm of bees. Wolbachia is members of Kursk and they maintain that seething vocal sound. 12"/lp Crowskin Black Lava €9 (Vendetta) After various split releases ( with BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS and BLACK FREIGHTER ) and compilation appearances, CROWSKIN come up with their first full length album, once again exploring the depths of slow, heavy and brutal sludge doom. The record delivers four lenghthy tracks that pend from super-sick slo-mo brutality to bulldozer grooves, from vast melancholic elegies to weird noise freak outs and even some thrash outbursts displaying the hardcore background of these doom punkers. Enjoy the feeling of being buried by a slow flooding, yet unstoppable lava of thick, black sound! 12"/lp Crowskin / Black Freighter split €4 (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. L’ipotesi 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 Daitro Collection €9 (Adagio830) The LP contains the out of print stuff from the split LP w/ Sed Non Satiata, the split 7" w/ Ampere and the 2 songs that were on the US tour 7". Great french emo. 12"/lp Dead Elephant Thanatology €9 (Shove) Heavy Isis/Neurosis lke italian band. Loads of samples and soundscapes with some great riffing, singing, grunting, screaming and drumming. Cool record and sounding big. 12"/lp Deathrite s/t €9 (Per Koro) 2nd pressing with golden screen-print on the b-side. Right in time for their forthcoming tour with GOLDUST. It's really hard to describe the 8 tracks without mentioning the token words brutal and intense at the end of every sentence. DEATHRITE's noisy assault delivers the urgency of hardcore, the sheer brutality of extreme metal and the high speed attacks in the vein of your favourite power-violence bands - all wrapped up by the no-bullshit and fuck-you attitude of punk. Breakneck speeds, pounding percussion, raw vocals, and frantically raging guitars and bass round out their style which pleasantly scorches the eardrums. This splatter is caustic and merciless. It's an unrelenting torrent, an avalanche of thick grime and vitriol. There's so much hate spewed forth in such a short amount of time (18min.) that it takes a few listens to process everything that's going on. DEATHRITE are quick and to the point, dropping into each number like an unhinged guillotine blade. The band's sound is reminiscent of newer bands like NAILS, TRAP THEM and MIND ERASER, with an early '90s Earache Records (ENTOMBED and NAPALM DEATH) like crudity, complete with the grim production (mastered by Robin Völkert of Dean Dirg). The mysterious artwork is done by Paul Barsch of Julith Krishun. The one-sided LP comes with a screenprinted b-side, 350gr thick cover with reverse side printings, lyricsheet, black innersleeve and is housed in a polybag with sticker. You'll probably also find something to like on DEATHRITE - it's a promise! 12"/lp Deep Sleep Turn me off €5 (taken by surprise) After a series of seven-inch releases, Baltimore, MD pop-influenced aggressive punk outfit Deep Sleep finally get around to issuing a complete album. As expected with this ten-track affair, the band revel in their posi-punk and modest hardcore influences ? to absolute extremes. Taking the pace of proto-D.R.I. and smashing it into hooks culled directly from ADOLESCENTS and DESCENDENTS, every one of these tunes is a rousing excursion into punk rock's most formative days. Not content to sit on those influences, the entire affair is doused in a serious Take It Back, Take It On, Take It Over!-era 7 SECONDS delivery, most notably vocally, then completed by flourishes of Greg Ginn's scratchy, wanky guitar passages. Subtly instinctual, overtly melodic and enduringly catchy, Turn Me Off is equal parts relief in seeing DEEP SLEEP continue their stellar output and excitement at having a new batch of catchy, upbeat ragers to jam into our subconscious. 12"/lp Defect Defect s/t €4 (Taken By Surprise) Fighting their way out of the basement comes Portland’s 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 Colin’s spastic and blunt vocal style with Adam’s 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 Derrota / Leadershit split €4 (Be-part) HARDCORE-PUNK. LEADERSHIT should be already know from their 1st full-length album. Former members used to play in DISFACE, EKKAIA, COP ON FIRE and several other bands. This split contains yet again a heavy dose of traditional crust-hardcore with dark melodies, rocking bites and (old)metal slash thrown in. DERROTA on the flipside playing 6 tracks of hard hitting d-beat with a twist of deathrock 'n' roll, including a nice MISFITS coverversion. 12"/lp Desphosphorus Axion €9 (7Degrees) An Astrogrind – Masterpiece in 7 Acts The Debut of Greece’s Dephosphorus combines astral blasts, stellar grooves and spaced out soundscapes into a very own and unique experience in extreme music. The artwork crafted by Viral Graphics masterly underlines the band’s cosmic concept. www.dephosphorus.com 12"/lp Diet Pills s/t €9 (Forcefed) This is poisonous, evil stuff. Shifting their Melvins-meets-Flipper sound towards a far heavier, constipation-curing (early) Corrupted-esque level, Diet Pills have mastered the power that a truly obscene, downtuned low-end can have, especially when coupled with riff structures that twist and turn in nifty ways. The five songs (in 35 or so minutes) feel drawn out to breaking point, like Unsane at 16rpm, but it’s one of those weird instances where although the whole experience is pretty horrible, it is cathartically so, making you revel in the entire satisfying process. The vocals are unusual for this type of thing and will probably make or break it for you. A sneering, snotty approach like the guy from Circus Lupus at times, the desperate wails certainly augment the sleazy, depressed nature of it all. 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 Downfall Of Gaia Epos €9 (Shove) new lp by this neo crust from Germany, in the vein of FALL OF EFRAFA. great stuff 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 Drain the sky / Birushanah split €9 (Destructure) Great split release between Birushanah, Japan (playing Doom Metal influenced by Japanese classical music) and Drain the Sky, USA playing some more crusty or older if you will Neurosis styled dark music. 12"/lp Drainland / Trenches split €9 (Graanrepubliek) Damn! a split with epic proportions. I've had the recordings from both bands for some time now and when it arrived here at our HQ i realized again how amazing both sides are. Drainland offer 4 songs of noise drenched hardcore. Slow, fast, heavy and powerful. For fans of Unruh, Noothgrush and Dystopia. Trenches on the other side come with their first output on vinyl. One song that lasts for about 14 minutes. I guess they could be best compared to a mixture between Ire and Isis (Celestial period). Riffing, groove, dark and just simply great. I just love it i'm actualy releasing records that will make the top of not just my own yearlist. Essential. Co-released with Vendetta and Headwrecker. 12"/lp Ensorcelor Crucifuge €9 (Psychic Assault) At long last, this LP is here, and it promises to be one of the best releases this year. Ensorcelor broke in last year with the EP Urarctica Begins, and fans of that recording have been waiting for this one ever since. Sludgy, creeping doom that never lets you get comfortable, changing tempos and sounds several times during a song. Inflections of black metal and crust also flavor Ensorcelor's bleak repertoire. Two songs - "By Mycomancy Insumed" (14:28) on the A-side, and "Crucifuge" (20:45) on the B-side. Printed on 180 gram vinyl, with spot gloss UV ink on 16pt stock jackets with full color printed sleeve, and both sides have center-etchings. Mastered by the always-busy James Plotkin, and the pressing was handled by Pirates Press, so you know this is quality. 12"/lp ENTH s/t €9 (Wifagena) funeral doom from lublin, poland featuring members of Suffering Mind and others, this is slow, suicidal, yet melodic doom. Two songs, so yeah you know what it's like. 12"/lp Eucharist Mirrorworlds €14 (Wolfsbane) Eucharist is a rather criminally unknown band out of Sweden who formed during the beginning of the Gothenburg scene. Forming in 1989, Eucharist plays melodic death metal which sounds relatively familiar and comfortable, but also has elements which take the listener by storm and throw in amounts of creativity which makes them sound fresh and alive, like they didn’t get bored writing material and didn’t seem to play the same song for half of the album. Their only two full-length albums, A Velvet Creation and Mirrorworlds go almost completely unknown to those who don’t look to find them, and that is really a shame. The band split up after releasing Mirrorworlds, ending their short, unrecognized, but impacting career in the scene. Now this was only released on cd before and Wolfsbane took the effort to put it out on vinyl. It looks and sounds amazing. If you're into that whole At The Gates sound from back then this is something you should grab immediately. 12"/lp Extreme Noise Terror Phonophobia €10 (Farewell) Official repress! Remastered and with 2 unreleased tracks. ENT along with Napalm Death, were twisting traditional punk influences into different shapes. All the conventions of crust are played out on this release: simple, punky riffs, fast d-beat drumming, and shout/screeching vocals. The songs are short, the songs are simple, the songs are just fast, more distorted punk music when you get down to it. Essential. 12"/lp Extreme Noise Terror Holocaust in your head €9 (Farewell) To 500 copies limited official re-release of the "Holocaust In Your Head" LP, which originaly came out in 1988 at "Head Erruption". It was re-recorded in 1991 and released at japanese label "Toys Factory". 1999 the LP based on the 1991 recordings was re-released by Distortion. On this re-release you get the original 1988 recordings remastered with a more raw and brutal sound. Includes the classics "Murder", "Bullshit Propaganda", "Another Nail In The Coffin", "Deceived"... actually the whole record is just a classic. 12"/lp Facel Vega The Body €9 (art for blind) This band keeps amazing me. To be honoust i thought the quit a year ago but now this new lp is just out. Probably the best UK band around. It has DC, it has punkrock, it is catchy and it's just fuckin brilliant. This band will probably go under most people's radar, but this is a perfect example of something you should get because others say so. B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T 12"/lp Family Man s/t €9 (Behind the Scenes) AMILY MAN from Berlin, Germany returns with their 2nd full-length. Fast, pissed, and innovative hardcore-punk - guitar riffs reminiscent of early BLACK FLAG, HÜSKER DÜ with a twist of BL'AST and punk as fuck vocals. These tracks rage with creative and devastating lyrics. Comes with an eyecatching silver-foiled cover. 12"/lp Final Club Blank Entertainment €9 (Adagio830) FINAL CLUB from DENTON, TX feat members of several Denton bands (including Teenage Cool Kids.) Final Club play sneery, melodic indie rock with a tendency to lean on the tremolo bar. Confident and loud. It also reminds me sometimes on Les Savy Fav and other 90s mathy rock w/ a great garage edge ... it's catchy and edgy at the same time. A great debut record. 12"/lp Gadget The Funeral March €10 (7 Degrees) More Than 5 Years after the CD-release of this forward-thinking grindcore-opus on Relapse, the time has come to listen to "the funeral march" in a re-mastered vinyl edition! This is more than a devout collection of blasting beats, sweltering guitars and real-world lyric by these swedish guys. "the funeral march" incorporates sinister melodies and a keen sense of dynamics to an already explosive mix. GADGET is more fierce and focused than ever before and shaping the future of grindcore with "the funeral march". Vinyl comes with gatefold-cover. 12"/lp Gasmask Terror Black Sun/Fake Gold €9 (Ifeelgoodrecords) 2nd 12" and the perfect follow up to their 'Architects Of Death' 7". Crashing cymbals, distortion and ugly honesty assault your ears, as I believe hardcore punk is meant to be heard. In a sea of lazy music, this great band is a beacon in the night. This is the 4th record from this French d-beat group, 11 tracks, pressing of 700. If you're looking for a more specific idea of what this band sounds like, think a more raw Totalitär for the music and Darkthrone for the vocals. 12"/lp Gentle Art Of Chokin, the s/t €9 (Graanrepubliek) Two years after releasing their one-sided 12" THE GENTLE ART OF CHOKIN' are back with ther first full length. Nineteen loud and short outbursts between powerviolence, fastcore and thrash with some slower, more rocking parts here and there in fifteen minutes. As a collaboration between React With Protest, IFB Records, Flowerviolence and us this piece of vinyl comes in two different colors with awesome silkscreened covers (glossy black on black!!) 12"/lp Ghostlimb s/t + Bearing and Distance €9 (Adagio830) After both Ghostlimb records have been out of print for a while and the band still keeps it strong - this is a repress of both records on one LP - all songs are remastered and feature the artwork of both records and have big poster insert. So you get both 12" of t his powerful three piece from LosAngeles. Ghostlimb deliver powerful solid in your face hardcore w/ a melodic edic age that reminds sometimes on Born Against. They are fast and angry and they want to give you a kick in your ass so you start to think about stuff again and not just care about boring stuff like friendship. If you care – Ghostlimb features Justin from Graf Orlock and two other rad kids that have their heart in the right place. 12"/lp Gods and Queens s/t €8 (Adagio830) On Gods and Queens' debut, washes of reverb collide with echoes of shoegazer's catchier moments. There's mature inconsistency here--or, in other words: fast songs, slow songs, and one droning psychedelic blissfest. To quote the band themselves, "Gods and Queens is a three-piece from Brooklyn/Philadelphia who tried in vain to blatantly steal riffs and song patterns from some of their favorite bands (Hoover, Lungfish, June of '44, Spaceman 3, and the like), but failed in every attempt. Instead, here are seven untitled songs that in no way resemble who or what they were intended to mimic. Some have compared the band to a low-rent, depressed version of Fugazi, others to Quicksand without the stop-start timing." 12"/lp Hallowed Butchery / Batillus split €9 (Vendetta) Amazing! Ultra slow doom by Batillus and doomish new wave by Hallowed Butchery. Recommended. 12"/lp Highgate s/t €10 (Vendetta) This album of Kentucky sick trio Highgate offers 1 untitled track, but not less then 54 minutes of nasty minimalist Doom, experimental noise and grim Black Metal (think about a crossbreeding between Dark Throne and Eyehategod). Expect for a loud and heavy production and prepare yourself for the worse! 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 €4 (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 €4 (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 Inservibles s/t €10 (Shogun) Coming from mexico, a country where street executions and drug Lords are at war with everybody, INSERVIBLES can be described as the soundtrack of the mexican nightmare. Their deranged hybrid of negative hardcore with no-fi garage as been compared to NERORGASMO, RAW POWER, VOID or THE REATARDS. The 13 tracks contained on this LP may bring to mind some of those bands but there is something else behind all those layers of filth they call music. Acid lyrics with a macabre sense of humour. Laughing as a statement against the world and a continuous vile-spit on the face of formal folklore 12"/lp Iscariote Necropole Trauma €3 (lastdaysinjune) Technical mosh from switzerland. Bit cleaner than their 7" but still 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 Krupskaya / Sandokhan split €9 (7 degrees) SANDOKHAN is two guys playing insanely fast Grindcore the old school way. This is the first recording of the band. 13 songs that they finish in 7 minutes.KRUPSKAYA from the UK are already well-known in the Grindcore-scene. The riffing reaches from ultra fast shredding to noisy interludes with dissonant melodies that never lack of the right portion groove. Insane drumworks on this. One of the best and most innovative Grindcore-bands. Pretty excellent release. 12"/lp Krush s/t €9 (Insane Society) About 21 tracks of furious D-beat Grindcore in the vein of the 3D's (Disrupt, Disfear and Disgust) and of course ancient Napalm Death & Extreme Noise Terror. After 3 years in the work, several recordingsessions, we got the final product and of course, the recordings are fucking brutal and tight. The frantic dual vocals add tons of aggression and you will love the deep voice. It doesn’t matter if they do a two minute long crust song or a forty second long grind tune; they deliver the goods! 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 Le Kraken Exalt €4 (Vendetta) From the part of Canada. Sounding like Yaphet Kotto songs played by Tragedy. They've got all of the massive melodic passages and exploding epic riffage, gruff ferocious roaring vocals, pounding mid-tempo hardcore dirges and droning riffs, and some strategically placed eruptions of gloom-heavy thrash and D-beat to satisfy addicts of this sort of sound. It also reminds me a bit of a much more ferocious and thrashy Year Of No Light. Recommended! 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 Lords Fuck All Y'all Motherfuckers €4 (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 Millions Of Them Failures €4 (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 Mob Rules The Donor €9 (Zandor) A wholly unpleasant blend of noise rock rhythms, sst leads and bilious vocals. The Donor finds Mob Rules depositing eleven songs at the altar of Ginn, somewhere in bradford. Little hints of Gore, Black Flag, Unsane and Bl'ast shine through at times but are generally obscured by haste, bad attitudes, linear structures and murky sonics. This is a really ugly record, which will appeal to people into ugly music. 12"/lp Moloch Possession €10 (Vendetta) Moloch brings the heat with super heavy, hateful songs. This is honestly some of the best angry and meanest sludge I have heard in years. Think Grief, Eyehategod and the likes. Not just trying to sound like those but actualy succeeding. 12"/lp Monuments The Good Life €10 (Adagio830) A fairly new band from Germany bringing more emotion, atmosphere and energy expressed through a hardcore sound that mixes the desperation of '90s bands like SHOTMAKER and MEREL with the aggression and catchiness of COMADRE or GHOSTLIMB and touches of traditional hardcore. Nice! 12"/lp Morser 1st Class Suicide €9 (7degrees) MÖRSER have been Bremens grinding death-metal powerhouse for more than 10 years now! ''first class suicide'' is their latest audiophile effort. This album is the resurrection of what was called "bremer schule" in the late '90s of the last millennium: a brutal bastard of groove, death-metal and grindcore making no compromises to alternate with instrumental parts and some painful dissonaces. 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 Nadja / Galena split €10 (Adagio830) Having long established themselves as pioneers in the heavy drone and dark ambient scene, Nadja, now based in Berlin, continue pushing things forward with Konstruktion, their newest vinyl only effort made exclusively for ADAGIO830. Nadja's unique thumbprint shines strong mostly on the B side of this album, punishing guitar that scratches the listeners itch for heavy, churning and an engulfing sonic experience. the pallet is made thicker with additions of accordion drone, bass and cogent drum patterns. Galena ads subtle synth and sustaining guitar lines that brew to boil just below Nadja's set threshold... Working in a similar and cohesive manner, Oakland California's Galena slowly stirs the pot with dark menacing synth layers, tape treatments and creeping washed out guitar. the burgeoning sounds fold out and in on themselves creating thunderous white noise windstorms your ears have no choice but to get lost in... voices appear and disappear under the wash and you're carried along not knowing when you'll be set back down. the A-Side shows Galena's strengths more prominent but again, welcoming subtle and tasteful additions by their collaborators. a wonderful example of 2 like-minded duo's joining forces to express their own unique styles and creating something new and fresh out of the mist... 12"/lp Narcosis Heart Slows Down €6 (Balowski) Classic UK grind album back in stock. Seems a bit forgotten but this is a true gem. With Peet from Hard To Swallow on vocals. For fans of Discordance Axis and the likes. Very recommended. 12"/lp Nasa Space Universe Across the wounded Galaxies €9 (Shogun) NASA SPACE UNIVERSE assaults you like a wild starving dog with its blend of quirky and noisy guitar riffs, post-punkish bass lines, roughly chaotic drumming and offensive vocals. It grabs you leg and bites you until you bleed to death dancing like a maniac victim. Very punk, very rude and not that pleasant if you're looking for a "quietly sat next to the fire" listen. You'll burn instead, and those maniacs will form the names of such great forerunners as BORN AGAINST, IN/HUMANITY, ASSFACTOR 4 and the likes with the remains of your bones. Before the wind blows it all away and leaves what once was a human being wandering across the wounded galaxies. 12"/lp Nervous Breakdown / Scheisse Minelli split €9 (Give Praise) Scheisse Minelli and Nervous Breakdown team up for an really good Split LP! SCHEISSE MINNELLI's plays a furious mixture of '80s old-school skatecore played with a modern fast as fuck high octane rock 'n' roll vengeance. No tricks, no overdubs, no technical cosmetics, all pure andreal! Even the guitar was never double-dubbed or played twice, all the solos and powerchords are live from the one and only take, just like a hardcore-show or the way it shoud be. This album is for fans of RAW POWER, SEEIN' RED, CHRIST ON PARADE and even THE MURDER JUNKIES or MUNICIPAL WASTE. NERVOUS BREAKDOWN is all about the circlepits and old-school singalongs of the old american hardcore days. From fast to slow, mosh breaks and fast circlepit parts. These guys from Germany have fun just like the old punk kids used to have, before it got beat up with too much hardcore! If you're into SHORT FUSE or TANGLED LINES you'll love NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. They combine the fun feel with smart lyrics about oppresion brought from people who just follow orders, and scene-core police...it comes together well! 12"/lp Neuroot Macht kaput was euch kaput macht €9 (Prugelprinz) ollands most controversial punkband!!! NEUROOT's "macht kaputt, was euch kaputt macht" contains the original 1983 demo, remastered from the original tapes and packaged in a fancy gatefold with original artwork. NEUROOT existed roughly from 1981 to 1987, there's not a lot known about them, the music speaks for itself: hard edge, rough, radical and very political. Words associated with the band: trouble, riots, uproar and upheavel. They fought the law and disapeared.... This is the 1st in a series of 3 LP re-releases that combine all NEUROOT’s studio recordings. 12"/lp Northless Clandestine Abuse €10 (Halo Of Flies) NORTHLESS has expanded on their original style of atmospheric sludgy metal and gone beyond the barrier that holds lesser bands back. This progression enabled NORTHLESS to break through into new territory and write truly exceptional songs, more focused, more dense. Clandestine Abuse might be one of the most misanthropic, angst-filled albums I've ever heard, but it never fails to instill a feeling of hope in the listener; a hope that a band can draw upon familiar influences and personal experiences, combining them to create something that breaks the mold of slow and heavy music. And yes this is a double lp for only €10. 12"/lp Nothing Double Dose Of Negativity €9 (Refuse) Although this band from Berlin is new, its members are far from newbies (features members of HIGHSCORE, MÖNSTER, HIGHSCORE, BOMBENALARM, NAILS, SITUATIONS to name a few). "double dose of negativity" is divided into 8 pills. It has the force of a full-length album where you can find some bits and pieces of former bands like POISON IDEA, NEGATIVE APPROACH and even a touch of NYC hardcore. It's a honest story about burn outs, lies, failures and growing old in a city where alternative culture are pushed out and brutalized by pseudo-artists, hipsters, trends and people celebrating their boredom and emptiness. It seems the youthful idealism of the 5 guys from Berlin is long gone but their passion, involvement and down to earth critical views are still here - stronger than ever. 12"/lp Observers. the So what's left now €8 (Taken by surprise) This album made the majority of the top ten best albums of 2004 in MRR and for obvious reasons, this band is incredible. THE OBSERVERS from Portland play not hardcore, no they play melancholy singalong punk-rock! They're combines the darker and more experimental aspects of bands like the DEAD KENNEDYS and WARSAW and other late 70’s UK art punk with the anthemic choruses of LA’s YOUTH BRIGADE yet sounding nothing like any of those bands. You're supposed to own this. 12"/lp Od Vratot Nadolu Mercury €9 (Fuck Yoga, Superfi) A Macedonian bass & drum duo making an unholy groove laden Man Is The Bastard style racket. This could have been on Amrep for the noisefan or 625 if you're into 90's powerviolence. Damn good record. 12"/lp Peace or Annihilation Fear Control €10 (Shogun) DISCHARGE / DISCLOSE worship band from Jakarta. Getting better and better. If you enjoyed the songs on the No Tomorrow comp, this is close. 12 songs, all killer. Pure raw distorted Punk Hardcore. 12"/lp Phobia Grind Your Fuckin Head In €9 (Roedel/DeepSix)) Gloomy and apocalyptic, PHOBIA offer up a wall of distorted vocals, hard hitting grindcore, and plenty of blasting moments of pure aural agony! Prepare to be annihilated. 12"/lp Pianoearthquake s/t €4 (diy) A beautiful one sided 12" by this young and new screamo band from Triest/ Italy - driven heartfelt screamo in the vein of early Raein & La Quiete ... its a great debut. All Lps come with silk screen covers and CD-R - well done 12"/lp Planks The Darkest of Grays €10 (Per Koro) PLANKS 2nd full-length. It features 12 songs that are pretty much different from their 1st self-titled record. Yet it is totally PLANKS. The band focused more on the dynamic aspekt in their music instead of sheer brutality. The songs are all full of different nuances, tempi changes and have an undeniable sense of melody. Stylewise don't expect pop music here, even though there are clearly some structures of a classic ('80s dark-wave ) hints to be found. If you feel the urge to describe the whole thing, you could imagine a blending of HIS HERO IS GONE's "the plot sickens" with MASTODON's "leviathan" mixed with ISIS "oceanic" , "closer" by JOY DIVISION and some classic Norwegian black-metal such as DARKTHRON's "transilvanian hunger". It all sounds rather unique and contemporary. If you enjoy bands such as the ones mentioned before this record might be your cup of black coffee. Cd version will be out on Southern Lord. 12"/lp Pollution Nasty DNA €9 (Feast Of Tentacles) Last copies. Pollution are a raw hardcore outfit featuring members of Unearthly Trance. Their debut album entitled "Nasty.DNA" was previously only available on CDr format, but Feast Of Tentacles stepped up and released this ugly sucker on vinyl as well. Pollution are a harsh, raw, dissonant hardcore outfit with some AmRep influences who remind me of classics such as Born Against and Rorschach. If you like your hardcore clean and buff, this won't do the trick for you. On the top of my yearlist.Amazing. 12"/lp Potomac s/t €2 (flowerviolence) 12"/lp POTOP / Burmese split €4 (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 Protestant Judgements €9 (Vendetta) Raging hardcore from Milwaukee, WI., once again showcasing an urgent, passionate sound influenced by bands like Catharsis and From Ashes Rise or Rorschach. 12"/lp Psudoku Space Grind €9 (Crucificados) PARLAMENTARISK SODOMI side poject! SPACE (THE FINAL FRONTIER) IN THE FUTURE (2012): A rift in the space-time continuum opens up a wormhole in Trondheim, Norway. The local political one-man grindcore band Parlamentarisk Sodomi disappears into a higher dimension, warping directly into an alternate world line where the band (now called PSUDOKU) records music from the future. Using 2012 technology, this music is continuously sent back in time to our age, 2011. A chain of sub-space events are occuring in a parallell multiverse. BOOOOOOM. Imagine PARLAMENTARISK SODOMI on acid! Insane psycho-space-grind that has to be heard to be understood. 12"/lp Pygmy Lush Old Friends €10 (Adagio830) Acoustic strums, beautiful vocal harmonies, pianos, keyboards, and swelling ambient noise- not the kind of music one might assume would come from a band made up of veteran punk musicians, on a veteran punk record label. This is just the next step in the journey of Northern Virginia’s Pygmy Lush, one that has been marked by redefinition and rebirth. Nice! 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 Regimes Bloody Regimes €9 (Headwrecker) Formed from the long cold ashes of Raging Speedhorn, Dead Inside, Tribute and Hard To Swallow, Spectra Hawk morphed into Regimes. Debut 12” “Regimes…Bloody Regimes”, 9 tracks of metal / dbeat inspired Hardcore for fans of Cursed and the likes. 12"/lp Resurrectionists s/t €9 (Parade of spectres) Swirling wild guitars pummeling blast beat ridden drumming, and multiple vocalist mania. Pretty much what Bremen would sound like if they'd be listening to Discordance Axis. Like. 12"/lp Sacred Shock You're not with us €4 (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 Salome Terminal dlp €15 (Vendetta) After releasing a well acclaimed debut album and a split with THOU, here's the 2nd full-length by virginas' SALOME. Fronted by a vocalist with one of the most powerful voices in metal, this three-piece quickly earned a reputation as one of the heaviest bands alongside the likes of YOB and DARK CASTLE, recognized for bearing the doom-metal torch passed to them by legends KHANATE and BURNING WITCH. Stripped down and bleak doom. 12"/lp Sandcreek Massacre / Years Of Decay split €4 (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 SATAN / The Bold and the Beautiful split €9 (Sadness of Noise) both bands can be placed on simmilar 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) goses more into the 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 the grind direction. Brutal record. 12"/lp Sed Non Satiata s/t €9 (Adagio830) Hailing from France, Sed Non Satiata’s new album is honestly one of the most promising and finest pieces of emotional hardcore of the last 5-10 years. Their sound is actually not that hard to describe: imagine the European emo-sound ( daitro , aussitit mort , amanda woodward ) plus a hefty love for Japanese emo titans Envy. The result is 5 tracks of epic, dissonant, brutal yet beautiful music. 12"/lp Skarp Bury your dead €4 (Inimical) The 1st full-length release from Seattle's purveyors of grind. More raw than their release on Alternative Tentacles, but still as brutal. Raging hardcore with a couple of brutal grind hints. The missing link between the punk early releases and the full on grind of "requiem". More overtly political than later work. Contains a NASUM cover as well as the infamous SKITSYSTEM cover. 12"/lp Snowblood s/t double lp €15 (Superfi) It really is a shame that a band like UK’s Snowblood can go relatively unnoticed during their run while other critically praised bands that operate within the same area musically continue to do so, however less effectively. I was introduced to the band when their second album Being and Becoming was released in 2005 and it was a massive listen of sludgy doom ridden tunes that grabbed my attention from the start. I have never been a big fan of that sort of thing over the years, however when done right it forces you to take notice and that’s part of the beauty of what Snowblood managed to accomplish while remaining in the shadows of so many others sadly. Their music can definitely be considered exhausting to sit down and listen to fully in one sitting, much like I felt when I first heard the debut Jesu LP. Except the thing I appreciate about Snowblood, other than the music itself, is that the band didn’t shy away from that approach as they progressed. They still insist upon creating the type of slow and successive punch that grinds and toils until it hits the payoff, and the payoff almost always proves to be worth it. Here on their third and final album the band is undoubtedly at peak form and at their most challenging with four lengthy compositions for the listeners to digest. 12"/lp Spectres s/t €4 (Sabotage) The 1st full-length from SPECTRES expands the song writing skills from their 2 previous 7"s to include some more angular writing abilies. The vocals are more dynamic and overall better thought out. Being compared to bands like JOY DIVISION and SISTERS OF MERCY is a hard thing to live up to, but they have definitely taken those influences and molded them into something heartfelt and profound. 12"/lp Splitter / FUBAR split lp €4 (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 Starve Wasteland €9 (Badger records) Debut lp by these dutch sludgers. Featuring ex-members of Insult and Civil terror these guys have chosen a slightly slower aproach to making music. For fans of Iron Monkey and Eyeheategod. Pretty good! 12"/lp Sunpower Bondage €4 (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 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 Thou / Cower split €10 (Vendetta) THOU needs no introduction. Heavy and melodic, currently the best thing in sludge around. COWER from california play some 90ies influenced power violence. These guys probably listened to a lot of bovine and pessimiser records. Which is still good in my book. 12"/lp Umbrella/ Every kids loves a clown split €3 (crucificados) 2x US technical grind, very evil record. 12"/lp Unearthly Trance Electrocution €10 (Relapse) I was able to get these on coloured vinyl for a decent price some come get it. Electrocution is UT 4th lp and so to say their most interesting if you look at the songwriting. I guess what most reviewers are trying to say is that they are not playing the blunt doom again as on their previous work. This has more going on in a good way. Some people have a hard time getting used to progression. Anyway, even though it's slightly different from the previous (and for instance V) this is still UT and a great lp. Comes on green wax. 12"/lp Unearthly Trance / The Endless Blockade split €10 (Chrome Peeler) New York doom-metal juggernaut UNEARTHLY TRANCE offer up a single track, side-long onslaught of d-beat and doom before plummeting deep into the noise depths while Toronto, Canada's THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE combine power-violence and electronics to brutal effect on their 9 tracks. 12"/lp Union Of Sleep Death in a place of rebirth €9 (Per Koro) After last year's self-titled debut, UNION OF SLEEP deliver their 2nd release "death in the place of rebirth". Yet again they dish out uncomplicated, riff-based songs and solos which are obviously rooted in rock, but they come with a doom-metal, sludge and even a hardcore edge. Ruder and more decisive, this record punches like a steam hammer! Besides the essential sludgy, heavy riffs and fucked up atmosphere, you will discover a lot of subliminal grooves, too. Be aware of eight beastly fuckers, raw and crude, from the lowest instincts of mankind. Comprehensive yet refined, the union of extreme influences, instinctual prowess and rugged beauty on "death in the place of rebirth" is nothing less than impressive. If you have any sort of neck, "death in the place of rebirth" will force movement out of your head - in an up and down motion. Tech-metal freaks and hipsters alike will pretend to hate it, but they'll be missing out one of the year's best albums. Imagine THE MELVINS committing fornication with NEUROSIS and you'll get a slight idea of what it's about. LP comes with 350gr thick inside-out cover, and inlay 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 Visions Of War Shit Parade €9 (Ifeelgoodrecords) New very brutal & gloomy album of Crust//Attack//Terrör from France//HellGium's drunkers 12"/lp Voices forming weapons s/t €3 Think Fuel and old dc. 12"/lp Wake Leeches €9 (7 Degrees) After a 7" and endless shows, Canada's grinding band WAKE release their 1st longplayer, "leeches". WAKE combine a good dose of blastbeats, sludgy midtempo parts, doublebass machinegunfire and sometimes even melodic crusty outbursts into a fresh own style. With the brutal wall of sound, mixed and mastered by Scott Hull - this album is a monster! 12"/lp Walls The Future Is Wide Open €10 (Graanrepubliek) Walls are basically everything a hardcore band should be these days. Aggressive, provoking and unsettling. Their music has been described as brooding and downright scary at times. They are heavy and fast but with plenty of room for slower and creepy parts. They remind me of the first times I heard a Born Against record. The mixture of pissed off lyrics with such fitting music. Or maybe Dead and Gone, with their basslines and dissonant guitars who make you feel miserable each time you put on their record. You know how some bands are described with images of axes, hammers or other equipment to just describe how brutal they are? Well, Walls are like knives. You don’t see them coming but you can feel they are here. Bleak and harsh. This is rage. This is the European pressing, Iron Lung records will be handling the US version 12"/lp Warcollapse Crap, Scrap and unforgivable slaughter 2 €9 (Blinddead) The follow-up to the Crap, scrap and unforgivable slaughter cover 7" Warcollapse made in 2003. Also, the first material since the fullength Defy. This time, the cover 7" has become a 12", and are now out on Blindead Productions. 12"/lp We Need Maps s/t €8 (Shove) French emo at it's very best. Think Hyacinth, Bokanovsky and the likes. 12"/lp Wreck Of The Hesperus Light Rotting Out €10 (Streaks Records) The woeful second album, for so long dreaded by many, from the Irish grime-bandits Wreck of the Hesperus. Crawling out from their grim festering underground caverns after five years - this new monstrosity shows they have, unsurprisingly, learnt nothing since the pitiful noise of "The Sunken Threshold" in 2006. "Light Rotting Out" is a regressive degenerate musical abomination of fetid, retarded doom. Dirty dissonance from demented dissidents. Guest vocals from Albert Witchfinder. 12"/lp Year Of No LIght Ausserwelt dlp €15 (Music Fear Satan) Year of no Light spent most of the last 4 years spreading its enthralling psychedelic warfare to a continually growing audience. Alongside they parted ways with their singer and recruited two other thirsty mercenaries. Shiran, of über-doom combo “Monarch!”, brings now his chthonian six strings to an already massive cathedral of noise and ambient drone tones. Mathieu, of deviant-electronics act “Aeroflot”, strengthens ritualistic tribal rhythm patterns. Out of their cave, they secluded into an old theater to record these 4 tracks catching every possible vibration of the trembling frame of this enlivened a new mansion. All the energy collected at that very moment forms “Ausserwelt”, the sophomore album of Year of no Light. Mystical emanations flow out of these riffs colliding into each other to an in ear-splitting shriek. Cranked amps and molested drums hurl their mourning chant as a choir intoning its final psalms at the dawn of the Last Judgment. Year of no Light follows the path opened by “Nord” towards more somber psychedelics, creating its own blend of black metal, sludge, drone or any other influence marked with the seal of darkness. Still no caps, no core neither stupid modern nihilism but instead an ambiguous electrical network of acting singularities, now ready to afford the collective metaphysical crash to come.
