Graan#06 Vuur / Grinding Halt split lp (sold out from us)
Nearly a year after the first recordings this is finaly out. These are the first recordings from Vuur with their new singer. Less metalguitars this time but a more punksound. This will blow you to bits like Acme did. Grinding Halt has some Shikari and Last Mile members in them. Overall they're pretty heavy. In the slower parts like Dystopia, in the faster parts more HHIG. Excellent first recordings. Great record (of course). this was done in cooperation with heart On Fire records and Shove records.

Graan#07 Brito - This Wave Is Only For The Good-Hearted lp (sold out f
Debut 12" by this new band from Groningen. Of course there's some fimiliair people in it with members from Los Asesinos de La Superficialidad and Marat. Nothing like these band though. This is way more noisy. Think of the Shotmaker rythm section with the guitars of the Van Pelt. Throw in some Unwound, Red Scare and Jesus Lizard and there's your cup of Brito. This is released in ccoperation with Andy from Sncl.

Graan#09 Tunguska / Karaktermoord split 7" (sold out from us)
After some delays, here it finaly is. 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".

Graan#10 The Hunger - Winter 7"
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.

Graan#11 Grinding Halt / Drainland split 10" (sold out from us)
Dutch vs Irish brutality. Three songs from GH which sounds somewhere between Left For Dead and From Ashes Rise. Drainland come on their first release with two songs which remind us of Unruh playing Dystopia songs. Serious negative stuff by friendly people. Artwork by the very talented mr Drew Millward.

Graan#13 Hybris - Discography lp (sold out from us)
For those unfamiliar with the band. They lasted sometime between 1998 and 2003 and should be considered as one of those German bands that had the "Uranus sound" nailed down. Members later went on to form the more well-known The Now Denial. Unfortunately Hybris only released an awesome demo, a 7" and some compilation tracks. The demo is pretty hard to track down and was never rereleased in any form apart from the original tape. Now we have made it available again on vinyl with the rest of their output. Twelve tracks in total, pressing of 300. For fans of One Eyed God Prophecy, Uranus and Orchid.

Graan#12 Drainland - And So Our Troubles Began lp (sold out from us)
Here it is. The long awaited full length by Irish finest. Darker and heavier than on their split 10"with Grinding Halt. More noise and sludge elements and a massive sound. If you're into the likes of Unruh, Dystopia, Gasp, Godflesh and His Hero is Gone, this is something you should check out. Absolutely amazing.

Graan#14 The Gentle Art Of Chokin -s/t lp
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!!)

Graan#15 Drainland / Cellgraft split 7" (sold out from us)
Drainland from Ireland once again return with their sludge crust Bovine noise hardcore thing. Two songs in their Drainland signature. Cellgraft from Florida on the other side with a mixture between Discordance Axis and a uhm vacuumcleaner. Over the top noisy grindcore. You should like this.

Graan#16 Grinding Halt / Diet Pills split 7"
Finaly some Grinding Halt vinyl again. Here showing some of the slower side of their set. Two songs of which one is somewhat of a noisy hc song while the 2nd has 90's mosh written all over it. On the flip side there's Diet Pills insanity. Hints of Dystopia and Jesus Lizard thrown in a blender. It's so heavy it makes you wonder how it would fit on the vinyl. Great dutch/uk team up!

Graan#17 Drainland / Trenches split lp
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.

Graan#18 Drainland / Enabler split 7"
Hey it’s Drainland so obviously we’re stepping in. They’ve got it covered with one song this time. Heavy with slower and fast parts. Not unlike their previous material but this is intense like never before mainly due to Jamie’s vocals. As if Kylesa would release a track on a Bovine compilation. Awesome. On the flipside is Enabler from Milwaukee, Usa. Hadn’t heard about them before but these fellows have some experience in shitloads of bands like Today is The Day, Racetraitor and Trap Them. So yeah it’s heavy. Some hints of a heavier Converge with d-beat and powerviolence bits thrown into it. Pretty damn good mixture if you ask me. This is a split release with Halo Of Flies.

Graan#19 Walls - The Future Is Wide Open lp
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
