DIY or DIE

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


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.

The Stench Of Death



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



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.

Blood, Guts, And Beer!



'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



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



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.
