For ManOwar I will Fight and Die

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!

Through Your Fists In The Air!

In A Coma

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!

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

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

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!

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.


"Say you Love My cock, But don't say you love me!"

Fervel Moder Jord

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!

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.
