Filter: 7"-es 10"-es 12"/lp's CD's 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 90’s emo mosh but then paces up to not slow down again. They remind me a bit of Catheter. It’s ugly ,it’s 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) Chicago’s 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 bökanövsky / lakmé 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 à 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-Mönster 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. It’s 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 Hjärta €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 they’ll 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 Rush’N 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 80’s thrashcore! just as somebody mentioned before: putting the Hardcore back into Hardcore!! After their smashing split 12”, Miami’s supernova of grindcore aka SHITSTORM deliver us some more immense assaults of blistering whirlwind-grind, that don’t 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 Whöle 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 that’s 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.
