Purity Control

2010-03-27T17:27:00.000-07:00

So this Is PurityControl and they hail from Canada, specifically Toronto. This is their second tape release and it Kicks a lot of Ass. Its a blend of Hardcore and PowerViolence with dirty gritty production which adds so much to the bands sound. This tape sounds as if it were recorded in a garage or basement on a 4-track, which means i'm probably gonna love it ...and i do. I'm not the biggest fan of PowerViolence but throw a few Hardcore songs in there and it makes for a solid release. Can't wait to hear more.

Fuck You!

Kill Your Baby!

2010-02-09T01:26:00.000-08:00

So if you claim to be punk ChaosUK should be nothing new and if your some snot nosed little shit with a mohawk and a sex pistols shirt, heres something a million times better. this is the first single ever put out by the band on RiotCity Records in 1982. One of the cool things about Chaos UK is that they were one the first british bands to spread their filth across to Japan. While this might not be the lineup to do so i still must give them praise for influencing a good portion of the Chaotic Noisy god-awful punk i listen to now.
So Please pass the Cider and the Glue Bag
Enjoy!

Hiroshima Is Here Again!

White Youth!

2010-02-08T18:16:00.000-08:00

This is Crisis and their single "WhiteYouth/UK'79" this piece of Punk beauty is a great precursor to the great DeathInJune its dark, slow paced and filled with biting criticism of the UnitedKingdom at the time. I pulled these tracks from a compilation of Crisis's work entitled "HolocaustHymns" and your probably wondering why wouldn't I post HolocaustHmnys in its entirety? Well simply because HolocaustHymns is still in print and can be ordered from a fine number of different retailers in your local area or via the inter-web.

Baptized In Your Shit

2010-02-08T17:43:00.000-08:00

This is ExtinctionOfMankind, and their first Lp entitled "Baptized in Shit". This was realised in 1995 on the awesomely crusty Skuld. This is straightforward heavy mid passed and dirty. After a thorough listening you might feel the need to take a shower, then you realize you don't shower that's for yuppie scumbags who work 9 to 5 jobs and who's idea of crust belongs to pizza. By the way there might be some glitches in a couple of the songs, if that bothers you go buy it! Skuld made plenty to go around.

Enjoy

To What End?

2009-10-08T14:14:00.000-07:00

This is "The Word As Law" By the Great and ever popular Neurosis. This is one of my favorite records and i hope you enjoy it.

Train To Kill

2009-07-02T16:21:00.000-07:00

I don't know to much about this band except their name is Rudo, they are from the Bay Area, Hayward to be exact, and their singers name is Erick. They sent me their demo to see if i was interested in posting it here, well here it is in all its glory. Just to give you an idea about how enthusiastic i am about this demo, i just heard it like ten minutes ago, im not even waiting for his response. THIS DEMO FLOORED ME! Its right up this Blogs alley, a hybrid of noisy raw punk, and thrashy Black metal ala Bathory (they even do a cover). Its kinda of a link between early Bathory, and GISM...and if that doesn't grab you by the balls and demand respect, then i don't know what your doing here. At times its more blackmetal, and at others more like Japanese Hardcore. Comparable to ToxicHolocaust, but way better

This Demo Hates You!

The Sign Of The Wolf

2009-07-01T12:34:00.000-07:00

Pentagram is performing this Friday and in honor of such a momentous occasion i will give unto you 'Relentless' their first full length album, and probably their best aside from their demos from the 70's. So ya, this is a gift that keeps on giving, Sabbath laden Doom from American contemporaries.
Ps i am totally gonna throw my panties into Bobby's toothless old mouth...and the panties will be laced with speed.

Huge

2009-06-26T16:40:00.000-07:00

Sprawling soundscapes, desperation, and heavy amounts of dope-smoke trailing away from my point of view drifting farther and farther into the atmosphere til it dissipates over a rising metropolis of noise and confusion.
This is Boris and their 2nd album entitled "AmplifierWorship" from 1998
Enjoy

Unholy Terror

2009-06-04T10:16:00.000-07:00

So what if Venom was sloppier, faster, and decided not to wear the silly spandex? then you would these fine young pioneers of MetalPunk This is NME and their first LP from 1986 entitled 'Unholy Death'. This is raw evil, thrashy Punk/Crossover with a ton of energy. A lot of these riffs and song might as well be Venom covers, but the seer energy and ferociousness surpasses the spandex lords of Cheese. Any who, one could even argue that these guys are even more BlackMetal than Venom just cuz the guitarist/singer killed his own mother...with a hatchet and scissors. Now just as your sitting there thinking "wow, what would posess someone to do that" Well his reason, he thought he was a robot, and wanted to see if his mother was one too. He got 12 years in prison, and then in 2005 drove his car off a bridge in seattle as it was openning for a boat.

Gonna Have To Fight

2009-06-02T14:47:00.000-07:00

So its not like this is to hard to find, and its not like there isn't a lot of info out there on it. All you need to know is that this is classic, and if you don't have this you need it. This is Henry Rollins pre-Damaged BlackFlag, pre-shortshorts, pre-him being an annoying piece of shit. This also features a member of TheFaith and the less good, Warzone.
Enjoy

State Laughter

2009-05-29T18:20:00.000-07:00

This is DeathInJune and their first album entitled "TheGuiltyHaveNoPride" from 1983. this is my new favorite album. It is somber, beautiful, and cold. It reminds me a lot of JoyDivision, TheMob, and the gothy stuff the UKSubs'Flood Of Lies', but less up-beat. This was recorded far before the Neo-Folk awesomeness they are known for and has a more post punk/new wave aesthetic. I don't give a shit if you think these band is fascist/racist/whatever 'ist' your fighting this week. Anyways, i also think this is were LebendenToten got the title for there debut LP 'StateLaughter'. So get it here, you know you wanna...
By the way this is way better then Crisis, the band Douglas Pearce was in before this.
Enjoy

Now I'm A Useless Eatrer

2009-05-29T12:35:00.000-07:00

So i was fumbling around on my hard-drive today deleting useless crap donated by others, and came across a name that i thought was interesting. The band, TheVomitPigs, the album, "TakeOneEP". now the initial listen brings to mind late 70's British pop like TheBoys, TheUndertones, etc.. you know the drill very bubblegum upbeat but and catchy, Beatles Esq but not TheBeatles. when i half-assed looking up info on this band i found that they were from Texas, and this Ep came out in 1978. So ya its not the best thing put on vinyl, but it beats the shit outta anything your listening to right now.
Enjoy

DIY or DIE

2009-05-11T14:05:00.000-07:00

DoomedSpecies is like a disgruntled animal rights activist high on PCP beating the shit out of a vivisector with a lead pipe then stopping to catch a breath before continuing to beat shit-head to death. This grinding abomination is a two man band hailing from southern California consisting of a guitar player(Trevor) and a Drummer(BenAgroMosh). Both components of DoomedSpecies have been other bands Trevor was the Guitar player of Sabu and Ben was in MittenSpider, GorgonizedDorks, and runs AgroMoshRecords. Doomed Species is completely self recorded and do not use any vocal effects.Their sound is intense, mixing grindcore with crust while maintaining a No-Fi sensibility reminsent of BlackMetal. I also love how at times they will even through in some nice little sludge breakdowns. While i am sure many people will not find this listenable i happen to think the lack of production or clean sound makes this demo interesting. It sounds raw, primitive and minimal giving it a layer of muddiness that adds to the overall sound. As for the lyrical content it ranges from Misanthropic world views, animal rights and acts of extreme violence. Needless to say DoomedSpecies Fucking Hates You. This is for fans of early NapalmDeath, Disrupt, Agathocles, Crust, and Lo-Fi BlackMetal.

Hitler SS And Tampax

2009-05-05T19:30:00.000-07:00

So i was trying to think of something clever, witty,or stupid to title this post but in the end i figured the bands names should speak volumes. So This is a split between to Italian bands, HitlerSS and Tampax. Both are great names especially HitlerSS. Anyways This is the only release from HitlerSS and the first in a small handful by Tampax. HitlerSS play a fun upbeat snotty brand of punk. Now they might not be the best musicians and their side of the 7" can even be down right annoying, but fuck! Their HitlerSS they don't need talent they just need one great song, Speed and a totally kick ass name. so the big song on this 7" is 'Slave Naked' which was featured on KilledByDeath#6 and was also covered by that awful band MarkMckoy was in after CharlesBronson Called VirginMegaWhore. Anyway i think i like the Tampax side a little bit better They have a little more of a harder sound closer to hardcore. Both bands are awesome, but i just can't get enough of HitlerSS The name alone is so great.
Enjoy

The Stench Of Death

2009-04-30T14:23:00.000-07:00

Now I'm not going to go on a big rant about crust do to there big opposition to soap mixed with water simply because...well i suffer the same opposition. Some folks will make excuses about squatting and not being able to luxuries of running water or even claiming that many brands of soap contain animal bi-products which is unfair to our animal brethren. I simply am lazy and lack the simple necessity of caring. Any who This is Hellbastard and their 1986 demo entitled 'RipperCrust'. This demo gave a name to a whole breed of filthy like minded punks who had a taste for metal aesthetics while still maintaining the punk ethos, a hybrid of long hair and tight smell black clothes. Anyways the members of Hellbastard wanted to be a melding of Slayer with crass lyrics, i would say they shot for the stars and ended somewhere better. It neither sounds like slayer nor does it have the simplicity of Crass's lyrics. HellBastard comes across sounding similar to Amebix in both content and musical style, but with a more metal tinge. Members later went on to join forces with EnergeticKrusher and form HellKrusher, both good bands. Enjoy.
Crust!

Migration

2009-04-29T15:24:00.000-07:00

This is BuriedAtSea, and their only full length entitled 'Migration'. BurriedAtSea hail from Chicago and features a member of Minsk and Nachthmystium. The music is very drony and epically long. At points the music can be atmospheric, crushing and painful. The first track reminds me of Thor'sHammer at least around 10 minute point.
Enjoy

Black Forward

2009-04-08T13:30:00.000-07:00

SvartFramtid hails from Norway and there name means Black Forward. They came out with a 7" a live tape and did a couple of comps, other then that all i really know is that this 7" is really rad and deserves your attention so stop starring at the awesome artwork and click to download already!
Here

Starve To Death

2009-04-08T12:59:00.000-07:00

Ok this is Vorkriegsphase from Germany with there 7" entitled 'ScheissKriegEP'. The name roughly translated mean Pre-War Phase. Obviously they are war obsessed and by the sounds of it very angry. Here you are treated to an audible assault by three blistering tracks of Raw british influenced (ala- DisorderChaosUK, and Discharge) hardcore. So duck for cover and enjoy the Shit War.

Denmark Or Bust!

2009-04-08T12:27:00.000-07:00

Ok so hears the deal, this is the some awesome Danish punk brought to you by the ElectricDeads. There are 2 7"s i have posted and both 7" kick a lot of ass. It is up to you to tell me which one you like better. Now they do have one more 7" and a few comp tracks, but this is all i have. So enjoy some Female fronted Danish Punk.

So there is your Homework, now get shit done!

Blood, Guts, And Beer!

2009-04-06T13:46:00.000-07:00

'Filthy Hounds From Hades' has been labeled as one of the best NWOBHM albums ever, and i tend to agree. Its reminds me of 'Killers' era IronMadian, mixed with classic line up MotorHead. So what you get it is this punky rawness mixed with over the top rock sensibility that will blow you away...much like an actual tank. So enjoy. Did i mention that the singer/bassplayer was also in TheDamned and TheSaints?

Can't Wait Til' The Day They Sell Out

2009-04-01T12:38:00.000-07:00

This is Abandon they hail from southern California. They play a very aggressive form of modern hardcore with obvious influences from mid-nineties hardcore and bands like TheRefused, Catharsis, and are on par with contemperaries like Gather, and 7Generations. So please don't think these young lads are just another breed of half literate overly preachy retards that worship at the alter of EarthCrisis. Now they may be Straightedge, and they may be Vegan, but they certainly arn't dicks. So anyways this is there 2008 demo, and keep a eye out for there upcoming ep on DeathOfAModernist records, and if you like them contact them they might a shirt in your size. So smoke a bowl, shotgun a Beer and listen to some truely awesome tuneage.

Mourning Of A New Day

2009-04-01T12:23:00.000-07:00

You remember Cathedral right? Before Lee Dorian started singing all over the top and acting really obnoxious. You know before they were super cheesy. Well despite the fact i was only 4 when this album came out i still remember. Although i do like the cheesy Cathedral i must say that this era is much better. Its Doom at its finest, just straight foreword, no songs about 70's movies, just songs about sadness accompanied with really slow heavy music. so if you like your Doom in a perpetual state of mourning this one is for you.
Enjoy

Come To Grief

2009-03-11T13:55:00.000-07:00

This is Grief's 1st Full length record entitled 'Come To Grief '. This is good old fashioned sludge, its brutally slow, narcotic induced and heavy. This is the paranoia one feels after mass consumption of Marijuana, and the feeling one gets after years of drug use has isolate them from their friends, family, and all the people that once cared for them.

Blah

Jhva Elohim Meth... The Revival

2009-03-11T13:25:00.000-07:00

This is the 1992 mini LP entitled 'Jhva Elohim Meth... The Revival' form Stockholm's very own Katatonia. I really like this album, its pretty, mournful, and heavy. The sound reminds me a lot of a doomy Axegrinder or the slow parts of DeviatedInstincts 'Guttural Breath'... so like crusty doom metal which doesn't sound like that bad of an idea to me. I guess Katatonia went on to become a much shittier band in much like contemporaries MydyingBride and ParadiseLost. So enjoy the despair.

For ManOwar I will Fight and Die

2009-02-27T12:02:00.000-08:00

No matter what i may say, it will not do this album justice, but i will leave you with one fact, and one fact only. ManOwaR doesn't bleed metal, metal bleeds ManOwaR!

In A Coma

2009-02-27T01:47:00.000-08:00

So its two in the morning and you wake up drenched with sweet, you have an overwhelming feeling that something is wrong, but you just can't figure it out. Are all the doors locked? The windows? The silence begins to become overwhelming as fear sets in. You know someones there in the shadows, do they mean harm?
That is pretty much my summation of Coma, i don't know anything about the band aside from that this came out in the 80's in japan, and that Coma can be equated as a hybrid of KillingJoke, ChristianDeath, and Bauhaus(Note the artwork). If Those three bands don't peek your interest right away you don't deserve to live.

Oh, and yes they mean harm.

Punk Ass Queers!

2009-02-25T12:10:00.000-08:00

So unless you are completely detached form the punk "scene" you should know who LimpWrist are even if you don't like them or whatever. Anyway, for those not in the know LimpWrist are totally gay in a Liberace meets MinorThreat kinda way. These guys are completely out, proud and in your face. There is nothing really ground breaking or earth shattering, its just awesome Hardcore
Who needs Astro-Glide when your this smooth?

MAAILMA TÄYNNÄ VIHAA

2009-02-22T12:19:00.000-08:00

So i saw this Boot the other day at my local record store and figured i would give it a chance despite the ridiculous price attached to it. The band is called Pohjasakka and to my surprise this was really really good. It is straight forward angry hardcore from Finland in the vein of bands like Lama, Riistetyt, and Mellakka. So very British punk influenced. Other then that the 7" originally came out in 1985 entitled 'MAAILMA TÄYNNÄ VIHAA' and then came out with a tape in 1986 and broke 87. So enjoy.

Tribute

2009-02-22T12:06:00.000-08:00

This is Integrity's tribute to the great Midwest titans of hardcore SepticDeath. They do two cover on this 7" which are 'Change' an 'Thaw(ColdWar)'. Anyways Both both tracks sound pretty damn similar to the originals minus Dwids hash pissed off vocals. So ya, enjoy.

I Never Wanted To Be Famous!

2009-02-20T02:25:00.001-08:00

So this is Z.M.I.V. (anyone know what it stands for?) they are angry, aggressive, and pissed off... kind of redundant, but you will see what i mean once you give this a listen. More Disorder influenced punk, but this time from the Netherlands. This is one of my favorites, enjoy. Awesome album cover.

Fervel Moder Jord

2009-02-20T01:55:00.000-08:00

This is Bannlyst and they hailed from Norway, the land of snow, church burnings and insane BlackMetal hordes. But this isn't about BlackMetal, its about good old fashioned Punk Rock, it may not be Norway's biggest export, but I'd like to think it is a close second... though i know its not. Anywho, members of Bannlyst went on to be in SoMuchHate and KafkaProcess both great bands by the way. Yeah its good straight foreword, and there is no fucking around. It simply awesome british influenced punk form Norway. I love how bands like this seem to turn the bass up frailly loud and let it shine through, it always reminds me of Disorder, and i like that. So here it is enjoy

Get It Out, For God's Sake!

2009-02-12T19:42:00.000-08:00

This is a gem i picked up today from a band i had never heard of Called Vágtázó Halottkémek. This is there 1991 release on Alternative Tentacles. Theri name trasilated means GallopingCoroners. The music is tribal and entrancing with tons of energy. It reminds me of early Hawkwind on speed. I guess these guys were banded from playing in hungary(which is were they are from) for about 11 years. I am not sure why, but it might have something to do with their live performances which are supposed to be a senory overload. Anyway these are two great tracks. Enjoy.

Amebix

2009-01-23T00:24:00.000-08:00

I just got back from seeing Amebix, what a wonderful evening, i thought i would never be able to see this band. the show was amazing, they sounded perfect. On top of it all i got to see it for free, Oh happy Day!
So sorry no post today, i'm too tuckered out.

The Uses Of HAARP

2009-01-22T02:02:00.000-08:00

Noise, Fuzz, Distortion, some of the words i would use to describe the great AtrociousMadness. Any-who Frank the vocalist went on to play in one of the best punk bands in the last 10 years LebendenToten. Frank also played in another great band i posted last week Funeral. But this isn't about them this is about AM and this slab of pristine vinyl i have in front of me, and the tremendous beauty it contains. Six tracks of pure Noisy distorted punk as fuck hardcore. so sit back stud your vest charge your hair and pass the glue bag, cuz things are gonna get fuzzy.

!FUZZ!

Space, The Final Frontier

2009-01-22T01:15:00.000-08:00

Space, the final frontier. We exist on a on a giant marble hurdling through the cosmos with an unimaginable amount of power slowly pushing us around and around the Sun in a constant groove. This is sort of the way i would describe NegativeReaction with their deep appreciation for all things spacey, and their infectious spacey sludge. This is there 1998 effort entitled 'TheOrbitEp'. It is what anyone would come to expect in a Sludge/StonerMetal band slow down-tuned grooves, and crushing Drums. But i must say i love the vocals they are exquisite, punishing anguished shrill strained vocals. Well that's all i got so enjoy some good old fashioned Sludge from NewYorkCity. For fans of Grief, Bongzilla, GravesAtSea, NoothGrush...and various others.

Dude

Horrified

2009-01-16T01:31:00.000-08:00

This is Repulsion and their only LP simply entitled 'Horrified'. This was released in 1989 on the Necrosis label which was a subsidiary of Earache records that was run by Jeff"Carcass"Walker(i think). Any ways this album rocks it reminds me of early Carcass mixed with Venom. I always hear them being lumped in with the grindcore genre and i am not sure why, i understand they have blast beats but that doesn't necessarily make you grindcore right? If i had my way, (and luckily since i run this thing, i do) I would call it Lo-fi Death Punk. As to expect from the cover and song titles like "Maggots In Your Coffin" and "Splattered Cadavers" you are gonna get your basic run of the mill death filled songs about gore soaked zombie holocaust's and the nuclear Apocalypse. So stop bascing in happiness and gera up for the emminent horror that is Repulsion!

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Cry Of State Desperation

2009-01-15T19:28:00.001-08:00

This is for all those who love Disorder,Discharge, Gai, LebendenToten, Gloom, etc. This is Funeral and their 7" entitled 'CryOfStateDesperation'. I believe that the Frank thats plays Bass in Funeral is the same Frank from AtrociousMadness and LebendenToten. Anyway if you like fuzzed out raw D-beat you will dig this and all its ugliness.
Here

Kamikaze Gravecore Metal

2009-01-15T19:15:00.000-08:00

This is Final and their 2004 7" 'GrowStrong/Empty'. Any way Final hail from Japan and kick a lot of ass. This is just straight forward Metal influenced Punk. It's heavy, distorted and raging.

Far Tangled Banner

2009-01-15T18:52:00.000-08:00

I love this 7"! from the moment i heard it i fell in love. This is Atomkinder and there one and only album. Atomkinder hail from Arizona and play fast as fuck Punk with a little bit of a metal tinge. Every last song on this record is absolutely beautiful and reeks of heart felt pain, angst, and fear. I used to listen to this 7" at least twice a day, find out why.
Here

Never Again!

2009-01-14T01:24:00.000-08:00

This is Buzzov*en, for those in the know this was Dixie Collins band prior to the awesome Weedeater. This 7" came out in 1997 and contains two awesome tracks 'NeverAgain' and 'Useless', both of which are great. So as expected this is good old down-tuned stoner doom for the downtrodden and terminally self medicated. So enjoy.

Monolith

2009-01-14T01:05:00.000-08:00

Ok so i bought this used the other day and have no idea what this is or when it came out. All i know it is some sort of Ambient noise band calling themselves SailorWinters, and the ep is entitled 'Monolith'. i thought was a good title seeing as how it is just this epic soundscape through muddied fuzz. That is all I really have to say, other then that I am not to sure how i feel about it. I don't know if this passes for good, bad or what. If you got any info please share.

Re-Up

2009-01-06T19:11:00.000-08:00

This is a re-posting because i was un aware that i had a few incomplete tracks, so here you go and enjoy.

This is Weakling, they hailed from SanFrancisco, and play Epic BlackMetal. This release has been commented as being a "Masterpiece" and i would have to agree.This album was entitled 'DeadAsDreams' and came out in 2000, just after they had called it quits. 'DeadAsDreams' is both fast and slow with lots of atmospheric cavernous sound. The songs are long and drawn out, in a good way. Weakling project feelings of emptiness, anger, and deep seeded desperate depression(hooray for alliteration). Five tracks in all this release comes in at a whopping seventy-six minutes. In addition weakling also has members of Asunder, TheFuckingChamps, Saros, and TheHusbands. This is for fans of Bethlehem, Asunder, and depression. For some reason i see this band more with DoomMetal then i do with BlackMetal, i'm not sure why, its not like its that slow. I guess its because the drums are so fast and muffled it kind of slows the music down in addition to the slower melodic guitar. Well, i hope you enjoy, although enjoy doesn't seem appropriate.

Now your Messin With a, Son Of A Bitch

2009-01-04T12:15:00.000-08:00

This is Nazareth and their tribute to the downtrodden everyman entitled "Hair Of The Dog". Everyone has heard at least one song off this album, be it when you are watching TV and a commercial comes on for Monday night football and everything slows down and all the sudden you hear the anthemic sounds of Nazareth's "Love Hurts" as men get pumbled and smashed, or mabye you've just been dumped by your best girl so you and your best bro's are knee deep in Cans of Coors Light and cruisin in your dad's old truck and make the decision to go pick up that questionable hooker you all saw three blocks back only to find out afterward it was a man, and all the sudden you hear"Love Hurts". Anyway this album rules it is somewhere between Ac/Dc, Accept, and CCR. Its just good old fashioned Dude Rock, every song on this record rules and has earned an eternal spot in my heart. So put it on, crank it up, and drink til you can't see.

Why i Voted no On Proposition 8

2008-12-16T12:31:00.000-08:00

This is Gayrilla Biscuits, if you couldn't tell by there name they love youth crew hardcore, and dick. This band is gay and unashamed. I love the fact that when you are gay and punk it seems like the world is your oyster, you can do whatever to whomever and have a ball(wink*wink*). I wish this band was around when i was in highschool just so i could wear a shirt. most people thought i was gay, probably because i liked making homophobic jocks uncomfortable. Any who if you like bands like GorillaBiscuits, Youth ofToday, or even YouthofToGay you will probably like these guy. So rediscover the juvenile fun of drawing penis's on everything someone else ones.

Corporation
"Along the pavement it crawls
Like ants but slower, one
per car.
Like the borg, mankind the machine
Mankind forgot nature.
Now the winds blow harder as
the ice cap melt, they will not stop.
They thrive on the idea of a growing
economy, without which the whole
thing falls.
So it has to grow, eating everything
it needs, unto self distruction.
Not to simply be sustained but to
consume and poison more and more.

There are those that don't bow to it
and some who don't bow as low.
Re-use Re-use Re-use
Make it an do it yourself!"

This is AmpsForChrist. AFC is a side project of Barnes from ManIsTheBastard. Barnes made all the stringed instruments. That is all i am going to say.

You In Corruption

2008-12-03T01:47:00.001-08:00

Alright I am Kicking myself right now for not posting this sooner. I was browsing through my Record collection when i cam upon this piece of vinyl gold and realized that i don't remember ever listening to this 7" before. So when i bought it i must have got a few other things and this baby just sat unattended til now. Let me tell you, this rules! The band is Warhead and they hail from Kyoto Japan, this 7" was released in 1991. This release is amazing to say the least, its typical Japanese hardcore but with ten times the energy. 'CryOfTruth' is unrelenting and furiously frantic. Everything is in Japanese except the titles which are written in beautiful broken English(just look at the title of this particular entry) and covered in images which would make any Discharge fan cream his/her/it's pants. So do yourself a favor and get this... Now!
HERE

PS i will have the Lp comp i have up shortly for all to enjoy.

In Battle There Is No Law

2008-11-27T13:02:00.000-08:00

This is The First Release from BoltThrower, the less epic 'InbattleThereIsNoLaw' released in 1988. Many people just pass this record off as a stepping stone for what they would latter become saying that its sloppy and not as well thought out. I feel rather differently, i think this is their best album by far. The other releases while more technically perfect, they lack the same kind of young sloppy"raw" energy that this one has. Plus The artwork is worlds better then the stuff based from the "Warhammer Gaming Series". That's all i really have to say, Now i am off to go eat some ToFurky, Macaroni Salad, and Sweet Potatoes.

Gobble This!

The Stench Of Animal Rites

2008-11-22T13:43:00.000-08:00

This is a live recording of ExtremeNoiseTerror from 1989. I already know what your thinking, "This can't be good, its live grindcore/stenchcore/whatever you wanna call it" but the weird thing is, it is really well produced and has some of their best stuff. I love the album art because its just filled with tons of animal rights facts, and a big rant about how much they encourage others too live cruelty free. Now being a vegan myself i do find sympathy for what they are preaching. Then whilst watching their tour video, i noticed they were covered in head to toe in leather(Boots, Jackets, FannyPacks...etc). Mabye its old leather and they didn't want to waste it. I don't know all i can say is Up The Hypocrisy!!!
MUUUUURRRRDDDDEEERRRRR!!!!!
BLEEEEAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

Ps 'Holocaust in Your Head' is an awesome album, and if you like this you will love the full length.

Dreadlocks And The Plight Of The Native Americans

2008-11-22T13:00:00.001-08:00

This is AcidRainDance and this is their S/T 7" from 1991 released on the awesome Skuld, as you can imagine this is a crust band with heavy metal leanings. I was floored when the first time i listened to this and i had it on 33rpms i thought to myself this is fucking awesome doom!!!! then i realized i was wrong, and its just really awesome Stenchy Crust from Germany i don't know to much about this band other then what i have already told you and that they also put out an Lp which i am kicking myself for not buying when i had the chance. This abum isn't just your typical dimestore crust band they are really talented and are kinda of poppy in a weird sense, and they love the Metal. It kinda reminds me of a faster axegrinder sans the keyboard intros. So Dance! Dance Away! But I would advise to stay out of the rain(cuz that counts as a shower).

Enjoy

KillTheCops!!!

2008-11-22T13:00:00.000-08:00

This This is SoWhat and they hailed from Tokyo-Japan. SoWhat play just what you would imagine...Japanese HardCore, in the more noizey(note the Z)distorted way. So that means plenty of feedback, indecipherable lyrics, and Disorder worship. All i really know about this is that this was originally a flexi put out in 1985 on Dirty Informal Section Records(D.I.S. #002), and that they put out one other 7" and were featured on a hand full of comps. Since i have only been putting things up from my own pearsonal collection of vinyl i must tell you this isn't taken from the original but rather a boot leg that came out sometime in the past year or so. The boot was released as a 7" and didn't feature track listings on the vinyl or any notification of side a or b, so that is why this is trackless. I just had to guess which. But ya this is an awesome release and if any one has the other 7" please let me know i would love to hear it.

Lifes The Lung And Your The Cancer

2008-11-19T01:38:00.001-08:00

I am going to go out on a limb and say that if you claim to be "Punk-Rock" and don't have any knowledge of DISORDER, you are a cheap little poser and should stick to things you know like the casualties and various other exploitation bands that don't deserve to live. But if you are really into things that i have posted like LebendenToten or Dustnoise then you just might love this band seeing as how neither of the fore mentioned bands would exist without DISORDER. This is The Perdeition 12" released in 1983. It is simple snotty fuzzed out punk. It is beautiful, and flawless(or full of flaws...whatever). Not much else needs to be said.

Enjoy

Evoking Grace and Splendour

2008-11-18T01:26:00.000-08:00

Well since my hard drive has decided to die on me and has left me in mourning over the loss of over 300GB of music, i feel that it is time to move on til i have the proper funds to afford a new hard drive. Since most of my music is lost i have decided to get off my lazy ass and do things the old fashion way, i will start uploading things from my personal vinyl collection.

I couldn't think of a better way to start this off other then with some romantic BlackMetal. This is Celestia, and this is their 2002 ep "Evoking Grace and Splendour". When i say 'Romantic' don't get me wrong, this isn't some sort of symphonic Bullshit. Celestia play straight foreword BlackMetal, well there is a little acoustic bit in the beginning of the first track. Celestia Hail from France and have a strange obsession with love and death. Most songs often deal with a deep melancholic sorrow and the loss of loved ones. So if your in the mood for mourning just click
HERE

So if you like this you can click on over to THE COSMIC HEARSE and get one of Celestia's full lengths which happens to features one of the two songs posted here.

In Hate Gods Of War Descend To Earth

2008-11-16T01:10:00.000-08:00

I don't know to much abut this band. all i really know is that this band is from Spain, obsessed with Tolkien and they HATE-YOU! This is Nazgul, and the reissue of their 2000 release 'WhenTheWolvesReturnToTheForest' the re-issue come includes 'MyThroneInWinter' ep. Everything i could find on these guys says they are BlackMetal of the NationalSocialist varity. Lyrically they just come across as nationalists, they don't really put anybody down, but speak highly of their Fatherland. Any-who the albums are great, but i prefer 'MyThroneInWinter' it's a little more raw/Lo-Fi and doesn't have the cheesy female vocals. Overall this is nothing really mind blowing or amazing, its just NSBM with a little better production. So if you wanna feel some Spanish hate just click

Perfect MastersThrieve On Disasters

2008-11-16T00:22:00.000-08:00

This is BrianEno, he was once a part of the wonderful GlamRock band RoxyMusic. This album albeit not that much different from RoxyMusic is a gem on its own. its part Pop, part experimental, and heavily drug influenced. Its dancey up beat and somewhat off putting. This is 'HearComeTheWarmJets' from 1973. On my downtime at school i find myself laying on benches starring into space while this record forces me to wonder why 'BlankFrank' is the is the messenger of my doom and my destruction? In my opinion this album is a masterpiece, it has a strange beauty that most music is just lacking. Its infectious, groovy, poppy, and emotes a certain level of self reflection. At times the album just seems way ahead of its time, like at the end of' DeadFinksDon'tTalk' were it goes into some sort of techno break down, what the fuck is that? Awesome, that's what. While other times it seems like lost tracks from the 'RockyHorrorPictureShow' which i hope you don't take as a deterrent, cuz that soundtrack is awesome in it's own right.

Corned Beef?

2008-10-09T19:18:00.000-07:00

I don't Know to terribly much about these guys except that the are French play kick ass 70's punk and have been featured on all sorts of rare punk comps, this is BULLDOZER and their 1977 7" entitled 'L'enclume Des Jours/CornedBeef '. First off 'L'enclume Des Jours' Fucking rules their is no if's and's or but's about it. Its up beat and catchy and it brings to mind skinheads in black and white stripped shirts dancing with baguettes and berets utop their heads. The next track 'CornedBeef ' is a lot slower and a bit more rock n' roll with an opening sample of Hitler at a NAZI rally and filled with samples of construction sites. All in all i love this band and wish someone would give me the full length with track listings because i need to know the titles... i just need to. so enjoy folks, and get your French on!.

Turk Street

2008-10-09T19:09:00.000-07:00

This is the first release from Bay-Area band KowloonWalledCity entitled 'TurkStreet'. These guys are reminiscent of 'WordAsLaw' era Neurosis. Its crushing mid tempo sludge, with a very hardcore feel to it. These guys actually contacted me and were woundering if i would do a review of their release. In the e-mail they directed me to their website were they give you the option to download the album for free or purchase it. When i saw this i thought to myself that is totally awesome that a band would do that, and after giving the EP a good listen, i placed my order for the 10" and can't wait to get my grubby little hands on it. Every track on the Ep is relentless and full of angst and power, like a run away train coming to a screeching and grinding halt. So ya, if you are waiting for some good sludgyness stained with a lil' Hardcore here is your chance to be the first on your block to own this badboy.
You can download/Purchase it from the band Here
Or Download it from me Here
Either way if you find yourself moved by these tracks you could always say Thank You by supporting the band with a purchase.
Enjoy!
PS. The are also playing a hand full of shows in the Bay Area if anyone is interested

The Eyes Of Man Look Out And Beyond

2008-09-30T12:14:00.000-07:00

This is Electric Wizards second full length album entitled 'ComeMyFanatics'. This was my first exposure to this band i remember it as though it were yesterday, It was a brisk and foggy fall morning. I was sitting in on the side of a brick walk way at school waiting for my health and nutrion class to start. While i was waiting i put on this album from a band my friend had given me a week or two prior. So i sat there and started listening to this album while i was drinking some coffee trying to stay warm. As the second track 'WizardInBlack' started to play it seemed as though time had come to a screeching halt, like everything had slowed down to a snails pace. The song put me in a euforic daze that seemed to last forever. THIS ALBUM CHANGED MY LIFE! . Before this album i was utterly content with Sabbath and Sleep. This is actually the band and the album that made me further my quest for stonermetal. All in all i love this album and would like to share it with you. It is spacey, slow, and down-tuned to the point of no return. Enjoy

Dude!

Heartwork

2008-09-27T12:18:00.000-07:00

So I am making this post in mourning because i missed them play the other night. I don't really have any interesting anecdote's or want to spend a lot of time describing how much ass this record kicks, or about how Jeff Carcass is an amazing artist, or even about how this band was formed by two founding members of ElectroHippies. I might just be being lazy. But i digress, I heard wonderful things about how great the concert was and am glad to know they still kick ass. So here it is 'HeartWork', a lot of people don't like this album because it isn't as straight forward as their prior efforts, but i love this album because its not just typical Grindcore, i'm not even sure you could consider this Grind at all, its more or less Technical Death Metal. So enjoy.

Born With A Heart Of Steel

2008-09-19T16:01:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time i worked at a Punk-Rock Record store near my house. I was sitting behind the counter going about my business when a young naive kid walked in and happened to notice behind the Manowar 'Kings of Metal' on the back wall for sale. The naive little shit had the audacity to tell me how much Manowar sucks and how they are a huge joke. The kid obviously had no idea he was talking to the only Manowar fan that worked in the store. So i looked him directly in the eye and sad "What the Fuck did you just say?" as the young'n sat there with a stupefied look on his face muttering something and trying to stand by his opinion, i quickly proclaimed that Manowar rules and is far better then any shitty band he was wearing on his vest(i can say this truthfully because this kid was wearing a Balzac backpatch). I countinued to verbally assault this poor kid by saying "Other bands play , Manowar kills!" basically telling him"my dad could beat up your dad" which i believe Manowar would stand by. All the kid could say in response was "uh, uh, i like IcedEarth." i quickly shot him down with a "Fuck that shit, that band fuckin sucks!"(i don't really ever recall hearing that band, but i was out for blood). It must have looked odd with this kid cowering to a crusty with a shaved head and a bright red pissed off look in his face. I feel bad for the kid, in a way.

Any who i love Manowar their brand of over the top cheesy power metal takes the cake and continues to get better with every album. It might be my guilt pleasure, but i don't feel so guilty. Their Machismo makes me weak in the knees. I will be the first to state Manowar is a lot like heavy metal show tunes, and i wouldn't have them any other way. I know for a fact that if JoeyDemiao were to see me sitting hear eating soy strawberry yogurt with granola he would call me a fag, and then ride off into the sunset with a blond stripper on the back of his "Horse of Steel". This is their 1988 album entitled 'Kings of Metal' this is the turning point for the band many claim this to either be were they sold out or were they got better i agree with the latter. Its so epic, manly and well Broadway. They have lyrics which include the prase "I ride a comet" and Way your sword stay wet, like a young girl in her prime"...Manowar don't fuck around! So if you like your metal full misogynistic closet cases this is the album for you. Besides this is the loudest band in the world according to Guinness Book of World Records, at least they used to be.

Hail And Kill!

Lets Get Free!

2008-09-18T16:56:00.001-07:00

First off let me start by saying Asa Lama Lakam. Lets get free is the debut full length from everyones favorite militant Black activists DeadPrez. The songs are all about assassination, mind control, and the unfair balance of power within this country. Not to mention they are big fans of the vegan lifestyle. Which is why i believe they caught my attention in the first place. For the most part the songs are very well written and can be very inspiring, on the other hand songs like 'Mind Sex' just make me laugh my ass off. Well here you go, enjoy, and remember to resist the pigs.

Get Freedom Here

Criminal Damage

2008-09-18T16:56:00.000-07:00

This is the CtiminalDamage demo, im not sure when this was made(i think around 05/06), but i do know that this rules. CriminalDamage serve up a heaping helping of full throttle Blitz worship from Portland Oregon. Its uncanny how kick ass this is. The demo is equal parts of both full length records 'No Solution' and 's/t'. I believe they have a members of Tragedy, His Hero Is Gone, and Deathreat. Most of the songs deal with ideas of oppression, self medication and the occasional song about somebody being beat up in the streets. All the songs are catchy and you will certainly find them stuck in your head with you singing along out loud. So this is for fans of Blitz, Skrewdriver, 4-Skins, NoHopeForTheKids, GorillaAngreb, etc...
Personal favorites include Anethesia, and LastChance.
Enjoy

OI!

2008-09-17T10:55:00.000-07:00

For all those who liked the Weakling post i made a couple weeks ago this is for you, this is a live recording of the band doing what they do best playing bleak and depressive BlackMetal. Their are no vocals, but it still rules anyways! I believe this is their 1998 live rehearsal demo, but i'm not sure.This was given to me buy the very kind Aesop of CosmicHearse after reading my post, Thanks Aesop.

And Justice for y'all!

2008-09-17T10:33:00.000-07:00

This is WeedEater's fists album entitled 'And Justice for Y'all' from 2001. This band reminds me of like a southern inspired version of MotorHead on tons of heroin. I love this album, and this band. They just seem to epitomize Stoner in so many ways. I love that they are all about marijuana while at the same time not way over the top about it. Members of this band used to be in the infamous Buzzov*en, and at times it really shows on this album. In addition the bass player and main vocalist Dixie Collins also played in Bongzilla. So ya, enjoy.

We Took The Wrong Step Years Ago

2008-09-15T15:15:00.000-07:00

Here is some more Hawkwind. This has to be one of my favorites, it is such a toss up between this and 'Dorami Fosol Latido' i love them both, but i think at this current moment in time im loving this record a lil' more. It seems to me a lot more "spacey" then 'Dorami'. Anyways this is Hawkwind's 2nd which was released in 1971 entitled 'InSearchOfSpace' and let me tell you i think they found it. This is album has it all its spacey, droney and drug fueled. This is a bad album for me to listen to whilst driving, i find my self zoning out and next thing i know i have been siting a the green light for its entirety voiding out all the horns believing it is a part of the music. I love how all the music seems to gradually get louder and then fade away, then just when you think the song is over they bring it back around again. well any-who, i love this record and maybe you will to, some sit back and wait for the mother ship to make its second round.

All Pigs Must Die!

2008-09-15T00:32:00.000-07:00

Ever hear of DeathInJune? Well you have now, and this is their 2001 album 'All Pigs Must Die'. DIJ are one of those bands that are shrouded in mystery. From their obsessive fascination with all things Nazi/militaristic and occult to their logos and their lyrical content. Many accuse Them of being Nazi's themselves but i find that hard to believe. Douglas Pearce is openly and was formerly in the band Crisis which was feverishly anti-fascist and played such renowned festivals like RockAgainstRacism. I am not going to lie they do have a strong fascination with the right wing and sure do love them runic symbols. In addition the love paganism and are strong advocates of the old european gods, this probably is in part of their fasination with the SS, or vice-versa. Sadly no white people can wear or display runic symbols or claim paganism without being accused of being white power, simply because Neo-nazi's(and real Nazi's) started using them. I have read stories of DIJ preforming live in monkey suits dressed like SS soldiers now that sounds like mockery to me. Also i have read other accounts of them playing shows in Israel, and what kind of Neo-Nazi is going to play to a predominantly Jewish crowd, let alone support Israel in the first place. Any-who despite their possible political leanings they play a mean acoustic guitar. They are possibly the leaders in the Neo-Folk/Apocalyptic-Folk scene. So its bleak, depressing, foreshadows death in a very pretty and eerie way. This album just happens to be some-what of a tribute to every-ones favorite counterculture figure, CharlesManson. Well enjoy, i know i do. For fans of Current93.

I Am Not An Effigy!

2008-09-14T23:25:00.000-07:00

Well, i thought i would post something that might throw a few of through a loop. This is Ministry, prior to them being a metal/industrial band they were a very dance Synth Pop band. And Al Jourgenson loved using a British accent. Well this album rules and is very gay. It makes me want to put on make-up and dance around the house. The album is called 'With Sympathy' and came out in1983. Later Al would claim to be ashamed of this release by saying he was pressured by the record company to make it "SythPop", but i must say if you feel you are to "manly" for this record, your probably a closet case. So ya if you happen to find your self bobbing your head on occasion to SoftCell, PetShopBoys, or Erasure then you might like this record. So enjoy, and if your significant other happens to walk in on you taking a bubble bath with scented candles and this playing in the background try your hardest not to act awkward and start franticly explaining how "I'm not gay i swear, you gotta believe me". Just own up to the fact that sometimes you like to feel pretty and sensitive. Oh and if this is to "Gay" for you still you might like the 2nd album 'Twitch' better its a lot more "Industrial". So rat your hair, put on your tight black pants, a loud of make-up and relive your goth days.

Slow Dirty And Painful

2008-09-11T13:44:00.000-07:00

This is the Grief/13 Split which came out in 1993. This record is crushing, bleak, and awe-inspireing. Most of you should already be familiar with Grief so they don't really need much explaining, but if they do click here. So on to 13, they rule. They were a mostly female Doom/Sludge band from the NewYork area(i believe). I don't know to much about 13 but i do know that they did splits with EYEHATEGOD. Also the guitar player went on to such note worthy acts as Sourvein and now can be heard in ElectricWizard along with her husband JusOborn. Hope you enjoy

2008-09-11T12:56:00.000-07:00

So for all the folks wishing i would post more Sabbath laden Doom here you go. This is Bongzilla's 2002 release entitled 'Gateway' its exactly what you have come to expect from these masters of Marijuana. Old fashioned stoner metal in the vein of ElectricWizard but with hash almost BlackMetal vocals. In addition you get awesome album art featuring Satan at the gates of hell enthroned in his unholy majesty with bong in hand(cheesy i know, but you gotta love it). So ya, its nothing mind blowing, but it sure kicks a lot of ass. If you like EYEHATEGOD but think the fast parts "Harsh You Buzz" then i think this is the band for you. So just sit back on your couch with plenty of snacks of your choice by your side and contemplate the deep meaning behind such songs as 'Stone A Pig' and 'Keefmaster' or just stare at stuff.

For All The Lonely Ones

2008-09-09T19:51:00.000-07:00

This is TheWipers 3rd album 'Over The Edge' and it was released in 1983. 'OverTheEdge' is a piece of American punk rock gold. TheWipers hailed from Portland Oregon. TheWipers rule, as i am sure many folks will attest to that. Their music conveys feelings of the downtrodden, desperate, and alienated. Every time i listen to this record i always find myself reflecting on my life and what has brought me to my current situation. I feel that this record speaks for itself, so enjoy.

Waiting For Tonight!

2008-09-07T10:15:00.000-07:00

Tonight i am going to the 'MaifestDestinyFest' to see Witchcraft and Witch, i am so excited that i am going to give you guys a sample of what they sound like, Witch are a band from the Vermont area and play heavy distorted rock in the vein of early Pentegram, LedZepplin, and BlackSabbath. I would have to say that they sound a lil' closer to Zepplin then anything else, but evil and ominous. Did i mention that it has a member of DEEPWOUND!!!!! the same member who went on to DinosaurJR, J Mascis is his name. Witch has a total of 2 albums out, two 7" and a DVD. if you want to buy any of it go to TeePeeRecords. Mabye i will posty some DeepWound later.
Here is Witch

By now you should have all heard about Witchcraft, the band that wishes so badly that they lived in the 70's, with their JethroTull/Pentegram Doominess. they have come out so far with 2 album a split 10"w/TheSword, and two 7"s(?). This band has been touring the hell out of The USA and word on the street is that they do so for the Kombucha because they can't get it in their country for whatever reason. Any-who if you have yet to purchase anything from these fine gents you can do so here
Here is Witchcraft

Coping With Death

2008-09-06T19:19:00.000-07:00

This is MyDyingBride's 'As The Flower Withers' from 1992 on Peacevile records. MyDyingBride is the self destructive form of anger during the coping process that forces us to lash out at ourselves in time of crises when we have no other release. It is dark poetic art in the vein of Asunder, ParadiseLost, and Anathema.The music is typically guttural vocals overlapping melodic guitar and the occasional violin and keyboard section. These guys remind me of a much prettier and more put together Axegrinder. So all in all this is like a mix of DeathMetal and Doom, or FuneralDoom, or whatever you wanna call it. While MyDyingBride is known for being pretty and slow this album certainly has some faster or at least mid-tempo songs. It seems as though this would be perfect to listen to on a rain day, after shoe gazing for a while. Stand out tracks include 'The Bitterness and the Bereavement', Sear Me' , and 'Well i hope you like it.

Epic Pain And Sorrow

2008-09-05T12:50:00.000-07:00

This is Weakling, they hailed from SanFrancisco, and play Epic BlackMetal. This release has been commented as being a "Masterpiece" and i would have to agree.This album was entitled 'DeadAsDreams' and came out in 2000, just after they had called it quits. 'DeadAsDreams' is both fast and slow with lots of atmospheric cavernous sound. The songs are long and drawn out, in a good way. Weakling project feelings of emptiness, anger, and deep seeded desperate depression(hooray for alliteration). Five tracks in all this release comes in at a whopping seventy-six minutes. In addition weakling also has members of Asunder, TheFuckingChamps, Saros, and TheHusbands. This is for fans of Bethlehem, Asunder, and depression. For some reason i see this band more with DoomMetal then i do with BlackMetal, i'm not sure why its not like its that slow. I guess its because the drums are so fast and muffled it kind of slows the music down in addition to the slower melodic guitar. Well, i hope you enjoy, although enjoy doesn't seem appropriate.

All That Glitters Is Gold

2008-09-04T19:09:00.000-07:00

I lOVE GARYGLITTER!!!, well at least these songs, i haven't really bothered to branch out and listen to anything else. All i know is that i am perfectly content with these six songs. You can't go wrong, it is like mood music for every occasion...well at least a couple of occasions, like drinking, gettin busy, and playing basketball, besides what more do you need in life? This is a 10' record released in 1980 devoted to Gary's best tracks entitled 'Glitter And Gold'. Oh and yes i am aware that GaryGlitter is a child molesting piece of rat excrement that should be castrated and hung upside down from his feet till his head explodes, but these songs kick ass. It all comes down to the whole NSBM thing i'm not racist or a child molester(despite what my blog description entails) but i can appreciate good music for what it is. Its not like listening to music made by unfavorable people will somehow turn me into a carbon copy of said person. Anyways, if you can't appreciate 'Do You Wanna Touch Me?' despite what ever sort of child abusing connotation it may have now, you don't deserve to live. Stand out songs... All! So if you like glam rock in the vein of DavidBowie, Sweet, Slade, and T.Rex then do your self a favor and take the strangers candy.

PS I am sick and tired of 'Rock And Roll pt 1&2' like everyone else.

Q: Do you wanna touch me?
A: Do i wanna touch you where?
Q: Do you wanna touch me Here?
A: Oh YA!!!

Nenhum Paz único Barulho

2008-09-04T14:23:00.000-07:00

This is RatosDePorao's 2nd album entitled 'Descanse Em Paz'. This comes as a request from my friend Nick who absolutely loves this album, and prefers it to the 'Crucificados Pelo Sistema'. This record keeps with the tradition of early Ratos, with the raw Scandinavian/Discharge influenced hardcore, but this release definitely has a more metal edge compared to their first. I still would have to say that the first record is still my favorite, i don't know whether or not its because it was my first exposure or just because its so raw. either way this is a great record, and i hope you enjoy.

The Betrayer Of Christ

2008-09-03T22:56:00.000-07:00

'MoonlightButchery' was an EP put out by none other than JudasIscariot in 2002. JudasIscariot plays mid tempo BlackMetal filled with hate and nihlism. JudasIscariot is a one man band from the united states who relocated to Germany. The sole member Akhenaten has also participated as a live member of Nargaroth. Anyways, this release is pure gold. Its raw, maddening, and filled with contempt for all mankind. I also just read that he has some NSBM ties...apparently another band he was in did a comp entitled 'The Night And The Fog' featuring an array of NSBM bands including SS1488, Kristallnacht, Absurd, and Graveland. the comp was supposed to be a tribute to the NSBM scene. Why is it that most of the BlackMetal bands i like end up being in some way NS. Oh well, its not like i look to BlackMetal for good moral structure or ethics. Oh and i guess now is the time where i am supposed tell some sort of convoluted story about how "i'm not racist, i love basketball"(and yes i have heard that exact phrase uttered in seriousness) but seriously, i feel that racism is a purely retarded aspect of humanities insecurity and ignorance. Besides its just lazy to claim pride in the mere fact that your parents (who happen to share the same ethnicity) once got hammered drunk, forgot protection and thought that an abortion was to expensive, cuz hangers must cost a fortune. Trash comes in all colors... Thus ends my long drawn out explaination of why i'm not a racist, blahblahblah. Enjoy the cold callous hatred of man.
Ps The track 'WinterHeart' rules.

Nuclear Flowers!!

2008-08-30T00:41:00.000-07:00

Yet another post from one of my favorite bands, LebendenToten. This time its their 2003 EP entitled 'NuclearFlowers'. Its everything you have come to expect from these noble masters of FUZZ. Its raw, disgruntled and noisy as fuck. The wall of distortion seems to be cranked to 11 on this release and actually can be very painful to listen to the loud hiss that they start and finish most songs with. Someday when i am an old man i can look back at this band and blame them for my deafness, now who can i blame for my future senility? Again for fans of Noisy distorted PunkRock in the vain of good Disorder, Gai, Confuse, etc... and if you failed to pick up any of the other releases from them that i have posted you can get them here. Oh, and as usual, the stand out tracks are all of them! Hopefully someday i will get a chance to see them.

I Just Found This...

2008-08-28T16:22:00.000-07:00

...in my collection of music and wow, i didn't even know i had this. This is BirthControl who started sometime in 1968, this is their first release(i believe)which is 'Self Titled'. Anyway its A nice Kraut-Rock explosion from Berlin, full of organ and all things 70's. This album makes me wanna hang out in the park and stare at the clouds. I'm positive that these guys were heavily self medicated.Stand out tracks include 'FoolishAction', 'ChangeOFMind' and 'October'. Their cover of 'LightMyFire' from THE DOORS is kinda lacking the gusto of the original, but it still sounds great. I don't really know much else about these guys.

Bleak Slow Drone

2008-08-27T23:29:00.000-07:00

This is one of the best things to ever come from Southern Lord, this is Thorr'sHammer, and their only release (to my knowledge) 'Dommedagsnatt'. Thorr'sHammer play very epic doom metal in the vein of Asunder. This album is dark powerful and slow. Thorr'sHammer is collaboration of the great GregAnderson and StephenO'Malley, who have been in quite the array of bands including BurningWitch, Goatsnake, and SunnO))) just to name a few. So if that doesn't speak volumes about how great this release is you either are unfamiliar with DoomMetal or you simply don't like it. Well the music is a mix of droning doom, growled guttural vocals, with the addition of very pretty female vocals done by RunhildGammelsæter. Her vocals give this a very stark and ominous feeling. Just as a side note she also hails from Norway and sings on this record in ... you guessed it, Norwegian. So here you go, hope you enjoy.

The Curse of Mankind

2008-08-25T22:33:00.000-07:00

From Norway i present to you ForgottenWoods and their 2nd full length entitled 'The Curse Of Mankind' from 1996. ForgottenWoods started around 1993 releasing 2 demos, and later 2 full lengths before calling it quits. They reunited in 2006 and released 'Race of Cain'. I just got this a couple of days ago and i have been loving it, for some reason it just seems not as over the top as most BlackMetal(i could be crazy). Anyways, it reminds me a lot of early Burzum but a little more simplified. Other then that i don't know to much about the band. I think they might have some sort of NSBM ties but i'm not 100% on that. I believe one of their members went on to be in PesteNoire which is a NSBM band. As for the bands views on the subject of race and ethnicity they offer no clues. Hope you enjoy, maybe next time i won't post something BlackMetal, got any requests?

Von

2008-08-24T13:59:00.000-07:00

This is the epic and legendary 'Satanic Blood Demo' from San Francisco's own VON. Many say that this is America's first BlackMetal band. They existed from 1989-1992 and only released one demo, and this is it. I will post the unreleased demo at a latter date. They were officially released in 2003 on the Nuclear War Now Label and the release compiled both demos and a live performance. VON is raw and minimalistic with guttural growls as opposed to the shrill and shrieking voice of most black metal. But i would have to say VON reminds me of GISM in a weird way, but in a much more minimal form, like Darkthrone. Well anyways, if you are aware of this band then you know what kind of impact they had on the BlackMetal communitty the had, even Varg Vikernes wore their shirt during his trial. And if you are new to BlackMetal i hope you enjoy this and you might have even heard a few of the songs covered before without even realizing it. Enjoy.

Selbstmörderisches Deutschland

2008-08-22T23:46:00.000-07:00

Pain, Hatred and contempt for ones life. Bethlehem are the band nightmares are made of, the vocals are split between shrieks, growls, and spooky whispers. all in all, Bethlehem brings this desperate feeling of anguish and self loathing that is so compelling. The music is somewhere in the midst of Black Metal and doom, the band branding themselves "DarkMetal" which after listening to it doesn't see so absurd a title. The emotion carried forth in this release is spooky, and the fact that this is all being forced at you in German just adds to the scariness. I now know what it feels like to be held hostage by a German with a death-wish. Any-who Bethlehem hail from Germany and have been around since 1991. This is their fourth release entitled 'Dictius Te Necare' which is Latin for 'You Must/Should Kill Yourself'.They have a full length before this along with a 7" and demo. I guess they suck now and play some sort of "Nu" metal with synth, i haven't experienced it, but thats the word on my street. I believe this is the last album this singer was on, but i'm not sure. At times this album can be pretty in an eerie kind of way, but for the most part its just bleak blackness with a soft spot for the suffering of existence. Well, hope you like it, its ugly and abrasive. My favorite tracks are 'Die Anarchische Befreiung Der Augenzeugenreligion' and the last one 'Dorn Meiner Allmacht'.

Dude!

2008-08-21T11:37:00.000-07:00

Whats that off in the distance? I hear the oh so familiar sounds of BlackSabbath and I can smell the quaint smell of Marijuana and a lack of cleanliness. This is Sleep, they ultra Sabbath inspired stoner rock will always have a special place in my heart. It never gets old an stale, at least i don't think so. If you are unaware of Sleep, you are in for a treat. the reason i posted this and not 'Volume One', 'Holy Mountain' or 'Dopesmoker' is simply because these are all curantly in print and for some reason(even though the band is long gone) i would feel bad, because they have brought so much joy into my life. Besides if you like this go and pick up 'HolyMountain' two of the three tracks on this 7" are featured on that phenomenal album. Any-who Sleep come from San Jose C.A. and we're active in the 1990's. Sleep members can be found in the great AsbestosDeath(pre-Sleep), OM, and the ever popular HighOnFire. Sleep is my favorite out of all of those bands, I'm not sure why, maybe because i heard Sleep first. Anyways they also included a cover of Sabbaths 'LordOfThisWorld' which is just like Sabbath but the vocals have some nice effects over them which make it sound like the vocals were recorded under water, i think it might be flange and reverb...im not sure. Oh and if can't tell that the cover of the 7" is a Sabbath album, you don't deserve to listen to this. Drop out of this world with bong in hand, and enjoy some SLEEP.

Grêler La Légion Noire

2008-08-21T01:36:00.000-07:00

French Black Metal, need i say more? This is the 'War Funeral March Demo' from Les Légion Noire band VladTepes. The Les Légion Noire were a group of like minded youngsters in France who loved Black Metal. They all had bands, and all the bands shared a great deal of members with one another. I love VladTepes, although i must say they differ greatly from most black metal, almost to the point that their music should be classified in a different genre. They sound a great deal more like GISM then your average DarkThrone or Burzum clone band. I would say they kinda of "Metal-Punkish". Anyways this is an awesome release. It is so very raw and unrelenting with fabulous guitar solos that would even make Randy Uchida(guitar player for GISM) tear a lil'. This demo contains five tracks and was released by Full Moon in 1994-5?. This release is a step up production wise for the band but still keeps a very "no-fi" quality about this release that i really enjoy and think adds a great deal to the record on a whole. I know a lot of people complain about production, but when lo-fi is done right it can add a whole new level to the music that can really draw the listener in. In addition here are some other Les Légion Noire bands you might enjoy: Aäkon Këëtrëh , Amaka Hahina , Belathuzur, Belketre, Black Murder, Brenoritvrezorkre, Dzlvarv, Moëvöt, Mogoutre , Mütiilation, Satanicum Tenebrae, Seviss, Susvourtre, Torgeist, Vermeth, Vagézaryavtre, Vérmyapre Kommando, Vzaeurvbtre

Part2 of Part1

2008-08-19T01:30:00.000-07:00

If you enjoyed Part1, then you'll enjoy Part 2... The prequel. This is the 7" released in 1983 on Paraworm Records entitled 'Funeral Parade'. I sadly can not find a Sleeve for this, but i did find an article were Pushead mentions how cool the artwork was-"The realm of death. Frenzied punk creative guitar feedback frightfully shrills terror and morose. Echoing drums pound shimmering insanity and evil. Haunting vocals taunt vivid lyrical descriptions of fear, anti-God and anti-system. True music to reality's horror show. Sullenly slower but poses the same brilliance as RUDIMENTARY PENI. Psychotic fold-out cover art is exceptinal. Worth your interest."
-Pushead, from MRR. As one might have noticed earlier in my previous post, Pushead goes on to release their Lp and put them on 'Cleanse the Bacteria'. well if anyone can help me out with the Album art i would be forever thankful. Enjoy and thanks for the request.

Allday Hell

2008-08-19T00:39:00.000-07:00

WolfPack Formed in 1995 in Sweden and play a ferocious brand of D-beat/Melodic Hardcore, with depressive and bleak overtones. This is the band that made my blood boil in highschool, and made me feel rowdy and anxious. They feature, and have featured members of Asta-Kask, Anti-Cimex, and ToWhatEnd?. This is their 1999 release entitled 'Allday Hell'. it features fifteen tracks of melodic D-beat. don't get me wrong these guys aren't your typical Discharge clone, they don't really share that much in common with Discharge at all... Ok maybe a little, but you wont get fifteen songs that sound like 'FightBack'. These guys are way heavier and far more melodic then Discharge. After this album they DIScided to change their name because it was also a the name of a local neo-nazi gang. The new name... WolfBrigade. i Would have to say that the whole album is a build up for the last track on the album entitled 'In Darkness You Feel No Regrets'. That is an awesome title for a really beautiful piece of music. This song stands out as far as sound quality and vocals. It is a lot more raw, abrasive, and just bleak. so give this a listen and even if you don't like it initially listen to the last track.

In Darkness You Can't Regret.

Why Do People Hate This Band?

2008-08-18T00:32:00.000-07:00

I don't get why people get so up in arms abut Bongzilla. Sure their name is cheesy, and they are over the top about their love for marijuana, but its called stoner metal for a reason, they love weed. They are no better or worse musicians then ElectricWizard, Sleep, EYEHATEGOD, or Weedeater(which they would later share a member of). It makes me wonder what certain people are thinking, because i'll let someone tell me how cheesy and "bad" Bongzilla is, and then the same person will go on to explain to me what a great band St. Vitus is. Please do not get me wrong, i love St.Vitus(both Reagers and Wino) but Wino writes/sings some of the cheesiest song i have ever heard. Any ways, This is 'Methods For Attaining Extreme Altitudes' from Bongzilla. Bongzilla hail from Madison, Wisconsin and play, well stoner metal/sludge/doom/ whatever. This slic of canibinoid madness came out in 1998 on the ever popular Relapse Records. I would say Bongzilla's style of Stoner Metal/Sludge... is pretty nice the vocals can sometimes come acroos kinda Black metalish at times, with the raspy screams, and sheiks. Overall i would say that Bongzilla is like EYEHATEGOD with out the faster parts. In total, 'Methods...' contains a whole 3 tracks of smoke induced doom that are laced with samples of quotes about Marijuana. I hope you give this a listen and maybe even enjoy it.

DUDE!

AtrociousMadness, they are vicious, noisy and unrelenting. They hail from portland and members went on to form LebendenToten. This was released in 2000, i believe this this their first release Entitled 'VisionsOfHell'. Any-who hope you enjoy feedback.

I love Japanese Hardcore, The Execute are one of those bands that made me stop in my tracks. i Don't know to much about them aside from their discography, and that they latter turned into a goth rock type band. any-who, The Execute rule, and this is their 1983 release, 'Hardcore Temptation'. Plus two members went on to form Gastunk, who also kick ass, and will probably be posted here sooner or latter. Sorry, i'm having a hard time finding the cover, any help?

Teenage Sexcapades

2008-08-13T16:01:00.000-07:00

Elton Motello's 'Victim Of Time' is good old 77' Punk, its filled with angst, sexual frustration and the dancey popness we know and love. Elton Motello, (aka-Lou Deprijck) was the composer and song writer for Plastic Bertrand's biggest hit 'Ça Plane Pour Moi' . Both bands were featured on the 'Bloodstains Across Belgium Comp'. Almost all of Elton's songs deal with sexual themes, at least the most memorable ones. Probably the most famous song on the album is the song 'Jet Boy, Jet Girl' which is about a boy jealous of a former lover after seeing him with a woman. I would have to say it is a pretty widely covered song. The Plastic Bertrand version was featured in car commercials as well in the movie 'Euro-Trip'. Elton's version of the song is a simple reworking of the Plastic Bertrand song with the lyrics changed to English and altered for the sake of being controversial. The chorus being "He gives me head!". The music is a mix of G.G.AllinAndTheJabbers meets The Ramones in a disco and take turns beating up TheKinks and RoxyMusic. stand out tracks include 'Jet Boy, Jet Girl', 'Victim Of Time', 'Teen Pimp', and 'Artificial Insemintaion'.

Blood Mixed With Oil

2008-08-12T00:42:00.000-07:00

Who likes D-beat? Who thinks its been done to death? Well let me tell you about this little gem of discharge worship. This is Kegcharge, you might be familiar with their Lp 'Sadistic War Glory' but this is not their Lp, this is their demo. A lot of people say it is better then their Lp, and i would have to agree. Although the Lp is awesome and is a cut above the rest in the D-Beat realm, the demo has something else to offer, noise. Its more raw and unpolished kinda the way D-Beat was meant to be heard. It sounds as though they recorded all the tracks in a simple half hour session after drinking a bit. If you haven't figured it out yet, this is for fans of DISCHARGE!!!!, and other key players in the D-Beat hordes. so here you go, hope you like fuzz.

PS- And yes they do a Discharge cover.

Gloomy

2008-08-11T13:36:00.000-07:00

Part1 come from the U.K. and play gloomy sort of punk, kinda like AntiSect meets ChristianDeath, ya its awesome. The guitars sound so far away, and this adds a layer of spookiness. Part1 were released on the well known label Pusmort. Featuring art by, you guessed it Pushead himself. this is their 1985 release 'Pictures Of Pain'. They did also put out a 7" and did a track on the 'Cleanse The Bacteria comp', plus they were also on the rare bonus 12" accompanying a few of the comps. Other then that, i don't really know anything else about this band. favorite track is 'Pictures of Pain'.

I don't think their name quit translates to the above heading, but i though it was funny enough to leave it, thanks FreeTraslation.com. Raw, fast, sloppy, and abrasive all discribe this gem from Brazil. This is Ratos de Porão's first album from 1984 entitled 'Crucificados pelo sistema'. In fact this is the first hardcore album released in South America. I have actually heard people say that this album is too raw, and i beg to differ, its just raw enough(a lil' pink in the middle never hurt nobody). Well enjoy this bit of hardcore history. For fans of Anti-Cimex, Discharge, and other distorted d-beat/hardcore.

May You All Die In Automobile Accidents On The Way Home

2008-08-08T11:45:00.000-07:00

Krieg hail from New Jersey and play Black Metal, and along with so many of the black metal hordes in America its a one man band. Krieg is cold, bleak and hateful. This is Krieg's live album recorded in Germany entitled 'Kill Yourself Or Someone You Love'. For a live release this is some outstanding production. It might as well be a legitimate album, aside for the interludes between songs were Lord Imperial insists on speaking in his Black Metal voice. Plus i think there is something special about an overweight man in corpsepaint calling someone a faggot. Not that wearing makeup makes one gay, nor the sheer Broadway theatrics of Black Metal, its just cute when an knuckle dragging closet case does it. Overall, this is an awesome album with a great title that gives way to that fact that Black Metal is not nice, and was never meant to be. Enjoy and i don't hope you die in automobile accidents on the way home, Krieg does.

Well, if you have been reading my blog you might have noticed, i like LebendenToten. But with my love of LebendenToten comes my responsibility and loyalty to DIY music. So i feel torn between sharing them with you knowing that 99% will never pay a dime for anything they produce. So I've only been trying to post things that are hard to find/out of print. Then i remembered this gem. This is their 2006-7" 'PoisonWave' made only for their tour in Japan. So unless you live in Japan or visited with the intent of seeing them on tour, your out of luck for finding this. Although I'm sure it goes for a pretty penny on eBay. This has to be one of my favorite bands of recent years, i have never had the opportunity to see them, but imagine it would be quit the deafening spectacle. So enjoy, sorry all the titles are in Japanese, but here it is. Listen through headphones with with volume on MAX.

Sabu Hail from a cornucopia of Southern California cities. They play grindcore, and for the most part grindcore is a pretty popular form of underground music(at least in SoCal). Sabu play it in a pretty good, and relatively different way. The drums are a little more reminiscent of a UK82(SpecialDuties) style or a D-beat(Discharge), its not just simple blast beat all the time. But the drummer manages to even make his blast beats fairly clean. The vocals are all over the place, lows, highs, guggling-burps, and its all done by one man with a lot of time on his hands and a willingness to tear his vocal chords. The guitar work is simple, distorted and sludge at parts and is just overall dirty sounding. The best way to experience Sabu is definitely live. I have had the pleasure of watching these guys a bunch of times. They certainly have a great energy and the crowds seem to love them. This is from their only official release which was a three way split featuring FiringSquad, And PeopleHate. This was released in 2007, and is still available through EverydayHateRecords out of Poland, so if you like please pick one up. Stand out tracks include 'Retaliation', 'PowerviolenceHolocaust', and '820'. '820' is dedicated to the singers son('820' being Aug,20th), and i think that is hilarious to break the monotony of songs about serial killers, wrestling, and gore, to talk about how much you love your son. But i guess child birth is a pretty "Brootal" thing. Plus they named them selves after a wrestler, a pretty "BROOOOTAL" wrestler. This is definitely for fans of more punk influenced grindcore in the vein of (early)NapalmDeath, FleshParade, and UnholyGrave.

Lets Grind
