The Uses Of HAARP

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!

Cry Of State Desperation

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.

Nuclear Flowers!!

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.

NuclearFlowers!

No More Room In Hell

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.

FUZZ!

Hope You Like Feedback

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.

FUZZZZ!!!

PDX Ear Damage

This is the 'PortlandCityHardpunkComp' Featuring Hellshock, DogSoldier, LebendenToten, and Assasinate. I would have to say my favorite stuff on this comp is the LebendenToten tracks, which also appear on their demo. Also the HellShock tracks rule as well, they are just so epic and dark. I had the privilege of seeing HellShock A few months back, and they were amazing, they were on tour with Age(from japan). It was great, because the show took place in a lil record store packed with tons of angry kids with fists raised in the air. Ya, but this is a pretty solid comp, so here you go.

PS, i guess theres nothing better to do in Portland then stud leather, just sayin is all.

Hope You Like Distortion

This is the WarningVinylFanzine, it features four bands, each with one track at their disposal. The bands Are LebendenToten, DogSoldiers, RottenCadaver, and DeadlyUltraSound. this is a really good comp, if you can find it. Its a recent one from 2007 but limited to 500. The best track on 7" is LebendenToten's 'Covert Killers', its just so distorted, fuzzed out, and raw. DogSoldier produced a nice track as well, covering The Exploited's 'USA'. Another thing i love about this release is that it is so plain/simple, the vinyl features the big hole in the center, and no label, it's just the way a DIY release should be. The sleeve of the 7" was printed very nicely with a page for each band to display whatever the hell they wanted, but my favorite thing about this release is the that on the back it states, "Not for persons over the age of 30" which is a nice touch since the DogSoldier picture makes them look like a group of middle-aged men with charged receding hair-lines. All-in-all, its a solid comp. buy it, or get it...
