Blood Mixed With Oil

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

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'.

Mice of the Basement

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

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.

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!!!

Drinkin Smokin Straight Westcoastin

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

MotorHead+Satan+Japan=Awesome

'Total Death' is a monument to the world saving/destructive power both MotorHead and the Japanese have. This is a blatant rip off of a few MotorHead tracks, and one straight cover(OverKill), and i couldn't be happier. G.A.T.E.S. is simply a MotorHead tribute band with the added love of Satan. this is Raw, Evil, Distorted, and Japanese. and anyone who knows my personally i have a huge crush on the Japanese Music scene. So much of their music is based off of taking a western band and building off of it, and most times making it better. Well enough about me, G.A.T.E.S. is from japan, and are made up of a few different bands like Coffins and ChurchOfMisery. They Play MotorHead Songs with different lyrics, and play them a little bit faster. Plus they promote evil, what more do you want?

MotorKill

Raw Black And Swiss

HellHammer hail from Switzerland and should need no introduction, but if you insist, they are the band that existed prior to CelticFrost. They are an intricate part in the birth of black metal. technically Hellhammer only officially released(while they were a band) one 12" E.P. and this is it the 1984 release 'Apocalyptic Raids'. There is a beauty to their LO-Fi sensibility, creating a raw and anxious feeling, making bands like this far more scary then most other Extreme Metal bands. HellHammer also does a nice job of incorporating some different styles to their music like the very slowed down doomy/Sabbath inspired track like 'Triumph of Death'. Its arguable that this could even be a Punk rock record just based on the sheer rawness of the album. I would have to say, the best way to describe HellHammer's sound would be if Venom(Welcome to Hell) and MotorHead(OverKill) had a baby and raised it on BlackSabbath .. Its Raw and dark with driving beats, what more could you want?. Plus Tom Warrior is a big time Amateur Rocket Enthusiast, thats right he builds rockets in his garage, and sets them off in the park and if you look very closely you will see him wearing NASA t-shirts in a lot of photos of him off stage.

Blast Off

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.

HardPunk

Cracked Cop Skull

Who likes Swedish hardcore? You do? Do you like Fuzzed out guitars and incoherent screaming in another language? Yeah? Ok, Ok do you like violence against cops and other symbols of authority? Awesome, i think this album is for you. This is TheShitLickers, they were from Gothenburg Sweden and played Noisy Hardcore. They only released one 7" in 1982 entitled 'Cracked Cop's Skulls'. There also was another recording, but i don't think it was officially released, i know Distortion records put out a CD some years ago that combined the two 7", and also a slew of bootlegs have been made. This is for fans of early ANTI-CIMEX, Totalitar, and Z.M.I.V. So here it is, Noisy violent and unrelenting.

'Cracked Cop's Skulls'

Also here is the unreleased 7" i think its called 'Silence'
