Fear Is The Path To The Dark Side-Someday this war is going to end 7"

This was supposed to be the Pohjasakka's Maailma Taynna vihaa 7" but this little piece of shit is lost somewhere in my home. Ii looked everywhere, in every corner but it seems disappered...
This is a repost, "Someday... " was ripped a few months ago and i kept it for a case like this (bored and pissed with Pohjasakka shit). This was posted in October of 2008 and here it is again @320 blah blah blah, i ll type some blurb to fill the space near the picture, (people, do you read all this shit i blurb for years?) for more information you can check the old post or their myspace: FITPTTDS was formed in Mannheim, Germany in 1998 and "Someday..." was released by Scorched Earth Policy in 1999, the rest of their releases can be found in Tatooine's Mosh Eisley in the outer rim territories of Blog-galaxy.
There is a second press with different artwork, a small sheet with lyrics is included
this is the short as a fart rant, now get it and feel Darth Vader's anger

Napalm Death-Suffer the children 7"

While my new power supply unit is on the way home lets keep this alive with this old rarity. I ve been looking for this ep for ages since mid 90's but somehow i already owned it from the beginning: Back in early '90's the days of my passionate Napalm Death love and the tape trading years, a good friend of mine sent me a messed up tape: Just try to figure it: 90 minutes of grindcore, no cover, no track list, no nothing. I managed to identify some bands and Napalm Death was among them in a live recording. Back in the day several live ND records pop so i thought it must be taken from one of these, i recognized the tracks, The Kill, Scum, Extremity retained and Life? but never cared where these were taken from. Then, a few months ago i started checking the tracklists of ND live records and the truth revealed before my eyes: These tracks were the b side of limited version of Suffer the children 7". wow! lets cheer up!

There were three releases under the name Suffer the Children: A two track 7" (incl. Suffer.. from Harmony corruption) and a great re-recording of Siege Of Power, a song taken from Bullen-Broadrick era), a three track 12"/cdep (same as the 7" plus an outro) and this edition with four tracks covering b side, recorded live at the I.C.A, London, 29 June 1990, these tracks are not included in the nine track Live at the I.C.A 12" (Earache Rec,s )
This is it, we ll be back soon with some oldies (Pohjasakka, Wretched etc) this will be available for a short time, covers are taken from Discogs site, this is not my rip,(my pc is still out of duty,this post was done from a friend's computer) thanks to the guy who ripped it and unleashed it on the web.

no more

problem with my pc

bad luck,bad fuckin luck..i got some problems with my pc, damage is a bit serious and it will take a few days to fix it, still don't know what is the problem,probably something happened to power supply unit or motherboard or wharever.
Hope i ll fix it very soon...

Uncle Charles/Human Waste-split 7"

This was ripped in the "same session" with Gotcha and was supposed to be posted a couple of days ago but shit happened, anyway lets go for the blurb:
This is a split with two respective members of Swedish scene: There is no need to say much about Human Waste. They started in 1998 and released a bunch of 7"s , split 7"s and a couple of cd-r's, (too many to mention here, check their myshit). Members were and are involved in numerous other bands (Dodsdomd, Mardrom, Ambulance, Warvictims etc. Syllen was almost in every band that pop up around) and some of their records float in blogs and distros. Uncle Charles were from Östersund, they released less stuff than Human Waste and were short lived, they formed in 2002 and included members of Human Waste, they released Action speaks louder than words 7" and In Crust we Trust 10", there is also the Another Day, Another Dollar demo-cd-r and a live split cd-r with Human Waste
The split was released in 2003 by a bunch of labels (Halvfabrikat, Wasted Sounds, Regression Rec.s and New Noise Rec.s) and was limited to only 410 copies, there was a version of 116 white copies with spray-painted cardboard sleeves and one year later a clear red vinyl version came out in 518 copies .

ps:the tragedy in Haiti made me stay speechless in sorrow watching the news and the pictures of destruction. Can't do anything, useless to say anyshit .. check this article, is the chapter about Haiti from N. Chomsky's Year 501, The Conquest Continues and shows how and why these people are the incarnation of poverty and despair the last 500 years

Agathocles-Gotcha 7"

While i was typing this my computer decided to crash and my rant was lost so i had to write it down twice. Then the fold out cover was too large for my scanner and was a headaching trouble to scan it partially but at last i made it. Uuff...
Gotcha ep is another piece of noise in the endless list of 7"s and split ep's of mincecore masters from Hellgium, tracks were recorded back in 1998 and appeared in AG/Comrades and AG/Comrades/Ravage split cd's before the band decide to take the recordings out of the shelf and self-release it. The package is nice and a cool surprise for a band that releases a few dozens of records each year: It comes in fold out cover that surrounds the black vinyl and inside you will find the lyrics, some infos about the recording and AG's biography from 1985-04. I don't know how many copies were made, probably 500 or so, there are eight track here and deliver the usual slow down and melodic bluesy shit you need to cares your eardrums and make you relax
That's it, go get it. click here for a large scan of inside cover with AG's biography

Anti Mob-st 7"

The first post for this year, crusty new year and best wishes to everyone and hope you had great time
Last night i listened to Anti Mob/Burial-split and i shat my pants, both band fucking rule so i decided to put this in the turntable and bring it to you
Anti Mob come from Athens, Greece and this is their first official release. They started as Grey City in 2006 and soon they changed their name to Anti Mob and recorded a demo tape, in fall of '07 they recorded the s/t 7" that was self-released a few months later and recently the split with Burial came out on Hardware Records. Members of Anti Mob are behind the amazing Mountza zine and in bands such as Swartz and Anger, Hitler Died From Tzatziki (lol) and Nekra Katsikia Trikavalo(dead goats three-ride, lol lol lol), in 2008 they toured in central Europe (Damnark, Germany and Czech Rep.)
The ep delivers four tracks of heavy hardcore/crust with shouted vocals (and some backing deep low growls), bass and drums are heavy pounding, guitars are heavy and tuned down with catchy riffs that stay in your mind and some strange melodies appear from time to time in leading guitar parts reminding of Annihilation Time and bands that put hard rock elements in punk.
Their last release came out on Hardware Records and its much more brutal and aggressive, Burial kick ass too (already posted here)
thats the rant, now go get it.

Ženevski Dekret-Neću da budem dio jebene mase 7"

This is punk behind the iron curtain and an old jewel: Ženevski Dekret (Geneve Decree) started back in 1983 in Mostar (ex-Yugoslavia and now Bosnia and Herzegovina). Back in the day things were hard despite the fact Yugoslavia was "something better that the other countries of existing socialism" in matters of freedom of speech so their first demo Mostar came out three years later in 1986 and was followed by Dont wanna be a part of fucking mass (that translates Neću da budem dio jebene mase) in 1988.
For more details about the old days, some tunes,the reunion in 1996 and later recordings check their myshit and if you speak their native language take a look at their blog. Neću da budem.. 7" is a three track ep released in 2007 by Ne! Records and Mama Records (what a name!) and delivers three tracks taken from the studio Vogue session of '88 for Dont wanna be a part.. recording.
The ep came out in 500 copies in 2007, the band offers it for free in their blog but the link is dead. A pocket sized booklet written by Habbi member of band, with the history and lyrics is included (you ll find the .pdf in the dwnld folder) and music wise this is rough, angry and primitive hardcore much more brutal than their first demo which has melodic moments.
This is it, go get, this is the last post for this year. Crusty new year to everyone out there

Ekkaia-Ya Hemos Aguanto El Sermon Ahora Lo Destrozaremos 7'' (bootleg?)

This was one of the first posts of this blog back in March of '07 and here it is again with different artwork and colored vinyl. Ya Hemos.. was the last Ekkaia record, actually i don't know if this copy you get here is the official release or a bootleg, there is no any insert with lyrics, artwork is completely different, you can see Stonehenge Records on back cover but the printing is a bit clumsy and low quality, furthermore there is no any information about colored vinyl in Stonehenge site.
Anyway boot or not here you got it @ 320, scans and shit. This comes in gate fold, see the artwork then check the old post and the conclusion is yours. The vinyl is clear yellow with black shades, looks like they put and mixed together some remaining colors, vinyl labels are blank with some drawing and no any shit about Ekkaia and Stonehenge.
I don't need to say any shit about the band so here ends the blurb. If you know anything about the record just drop a line and enlighten us if this is either boot or official. I don't know if there will be any other post before Christmas so Happy Crustmas to all of you out there k mi skizeste toso na sxoliazete :)

Wind of Pain-State of brutality 7"

Wind of Pain was a crust band from Helsinki, Finland, they formed around 1993 by people who were also in Selfish, Forca Macabre, Rytmihäiriö, Circus of Flesh and the viking/folk metallers Moonsorrow. They recorded Warpain Explosion three track demo tape and two years later they released two split ep's with Finnish punks Sian Iho (selfreleased) and Money Drug from Poland on Scream Rec.s. State of brutality was released in 1996 and one year later they released Wealthrevel 7" (Scapegoat Rec.s), a split tape with Disclose came out in 1999 by the Slovenian label Abnormal Tapes. Worldmachine was their first and only full length, it came out in 1999 by Malarie. Malarie also released the discog tape Mutilate Mankind, incl. the 95-97 recorded material plus some compilation tracks (thanks to Kris for the link)
State of brutality came out in February of 1996 by the Japanese label Paank Levyt and there is a second pressing (clear vinyl). There are six tracks but only five on the tracklist on back cover, music wise this delivers mid pace to fast crust with metallic riffs, rhythm section full of energy and deep low throaty vocals, imagine Hellshock playing their their songs faster and using a few Hellbastard riffs here and there and you got Wind of Pain.

Days of December 2009

One year after Alexis murder and the following revolt, Greece is in turmoil again . One year before, politicians and journalists, their mental servants, all together in an orchestrated symphony of lies tried to prove that was just meaningless violence and not a revolt.
One year later protestors are back and the fresh new social-democratic gov unmasked the true face behind the liberal rhetoric:Raiding a anarchist social centre and Keratsini occupied Town Hall as well, transpassing the academic asylum and arresting people, apart from police brutality a new way of terror arose: More than 800 protestors were taken to police department just to be identified (and recorded in police files). Riots broke out in several cities(here and here), media and politicians played their role again.
For more details and photos check libcom, After the Greek Riots, Slackbastard(here and here)

Cerecloth-Encrusted in an oaken legend 7"
Cerecloth (pronounced "seer-cloth") was a shortlived band from Middlesbrough and a well kept secret of UK's underground scene, they were formed by the guitarist of obscure deathsters Malediction in early '90's and in 1992 they recorded the Godless passages demo tape, one year later they released Encrusted in an Oaken Legend on GWB Records and this is their one and only official release.
The cover artwork is close to the crust themes, music wise this is an amazing blending of Morbid Angel's technical death metal ,Skyclad's metal folk riffs and flute tunes of Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull). Guitar is sick and heavy and enriched by Darren O'Hara's skills, delivers tons of tormenting riffs while rhythm section is in the same level. The similarities with Morbid Angel are obvious (the opening riff of Beautiful Lying Faces is a page taken from Morbid Angel's book) and some slower emotional parts with flute work really nice.
Honestly, i didn't know the existence of this band until the day i discovered this treasure in Wood'sman Axe blog, many thanks to Balbulus who kindly let me post this for you

Silence/Burning the Prospect-split 7"

This is an amazing split with two bands delivering some blasting crust tunes, it came out in December 2006 in limited number of copies and it is sold out.
Silence from Poland continue the great tradition of Polish crust bands, they were born from the ashes of Antichrist, in 2003 they released Hypnosis 7'' and that was followed by a couple of 12" (Echoes of Depression,2004, Mad civilization,2005 and a split with Irish crusties Easpa Measa in 2007)
Burning the Prospect started in 2004 and their discog includes a couple of 7"(and splits) limited to 350-500 copies and No Great Design cd (2008,FETO Rec.s), check their myspace for more
This was released by a co-operation of labels: I Come For Your Children(USA), Acclaim Collective (Japan), Right to Refuse (UK) and Sadness of Noise and was limited to 550 copies (according to ICFYC there were only 400 copies). Silence bring two tracks of emotional crust in the vein of From Ashes Rise and Tragedy with thick guitars, dark melodies, hard beating rthythm section and powerful vocals. Bri of Doom did the studio work for Burning the Prospect and the result was a three track assault of heavy and gloomy crust with a touch of Swedish hardcore sound. Sound quality is excellent, lyrics included in the gate fold cover(there is English translation of Silence lyrics, copies for Japan included a sheet in Japanese language) and the usual crust tradition of misprinted track list is here: Paradise lost is the second track of BtP and New reign is the ending song.
Thats the boring rant, now go get it (@320, scans, blah blah..)

Etacarinae-Faith in Chaos7"

They call their music Cosmic Apocalyptic Crust and they recorded one of the best crust records of 2008: Etacarinae's members are from Barcelona and Lisboa and In These Dark Times is an amazing record that stands equal to Comalive or Agrimonia's lp, (these came out about the same time). Τhey formed in 2002 and the same year they recorded a seven track demo (posted here), these tracks appear in this 2007 ep, in 2008 they released In These Dark Times and the cd version includes these tracks too plus the songs from the upcoming split with Asedio
Faith in Chaos (a.k.a. st ep) delivers heavy, gloomy and emotional crust with screamed vocals in an amazing blending of Bastard and Death Side hardcore and the metal edge and melodies of Tragedy and Wolfbrigade. It was released by a cooperation of labels (Deskontento Rec.s, Mundo En Kaos Rec.s, Kontroversy Rec.s, Humildad y Honestidad Rec.s), comes in gatefold cover with lyrics. Tracks are connected each other (a way to zip 14:30 of crust on vinyl's surface) so you got each side as one mp3
Thats the short ranting shit. Go get some Iberian crust @320,scans blah blah blah

Nakot/Dyspnea-split 7"

Here is a split of Balkan crust/hardcore:Nakot hail from Belgrade, Serbia, they formed in 2005 and recorded a six track demo in 2007, in 2008 they released a split 7" w Dazd (Doomed to Extinction Rec.s)and the 12 track discog cd"Pod nato bombama i represijom nasije" on DPH-AK47 distro, a split with Man Made Filth from Hellgium is announced in their myshit but still nothing on the air
Dyspnea come from central Greece and they shared the stage with Hellshock a few days ago, this is their first vinyl release after a rehearsal demo cd(2007) and Ston topo me ta agkathia (in the land of thorns) cd (2007), they are supposed to release a split with Doomsday (crusties from Athens) and god knows when..
This split was released in 2008 by a co-operation of three greek distros:We Don't Fight It, Alcoholic Disaster and Scarecrow. Nakot contribute three tracks taken from the '07 demo recordings and deliver crusty, fast and aggressive hardcore with dual vocals and catchy riffs, the production is dissent. On the other side, Dyspnea bring the re-recorded versions of two tracks from In the Land of Thorns and gloomy crust with black metal feeling because of the old school true black metal guitar sound. Artwork was made by Doomsday Graphics, lyrics and translation in english included.
That was the rant, this will be available for downloading for short time since can be found in several distros

Hellshock-World darkness 7"

Change of schedule and we moved to plan B: Instead of some oldies 'n goodies in the upcoming posts there will be some crust tunes and the first come from the crusties who visited my hometown and rocked the squat with their devastating set of stenching crust. Hellshock need no any introduction, at last and after a four year hiatus they came back with Born Out of Darkness split with AGE and the fresh new They Wait For You Still which is a masterpiece of stenchcore.
World Darkness comes from 2005 on Black Waters and is sold out. 2500 copies were made plus a limited number of only 200 pieces of a silk-screened edition. Lyrics included inside the gatefold cover, just like the rest of their ep's it consists of two tracks, the chugging metallic guitars, pounding bass and percussion and guttural vockills are here, Wax Statues and a bit faster but still delivers the stenching feeling while Grey City is a mid pace homage to Amebix and Misery legacy delivering some heavy riffage and nice guitar solo while the track ends.
World darkness is included in Singles comp that was released this year by HG Fact for Hellshock's Japanese tour, as for They Wait For You Still, US vinyl version of is on Black Water (1000 copies run, 150 on golden wax) European version on Agipunk and Cd on HG Fact (1500 copies), buy a copy, it shreads! now get the ep

no shit

Betong Hysteria-Spontan abort 7"

Next posts will bring some oldies and the first is a jewel from Norway: Betong Hysteria(concrete hysteria) was the first punk band in Norway and Spontan abort (Spontaneous abortion) was their one and only release back in 1983 on Mind Expanding Records. Apart from this they appeared in Fremtiden er nå! compilation lp(1983,Nå Records), Song of Norway (1983,Den Onde Sirkel) and in posthumous Anarki & Kaos: Norsk Punk '79-81 (1992,Voices of Wonter) and Hurra For Norge-Norsk Pønk-Rock 1979-86, Vol2 (2007,Svindel).Members went on in bands such as Lust-O-Rama, Kaare & Partiet and Siste Dagers Hellige
Music wise Spontan abort delivers five tracks of in-your-face, pissed and raging hardcore, here is a well written review in Kill From The Heart :
This killer release clearly shows rage and angst against society and the system the way it should be done. The first track "Snuten Kommer" ("The Pigs Are Coming") is about the violent police, always showing up with their handy riot gear. "Du Er Et Ledd I" ("You're A Chain In The...") is filled with contempt against people being just another tool for the system. "Det Er Bare Løgn" ("It's All Just Lies"), well it is, isn't it? "Mitt Eget Liv" ("My Own Life"), the title says it all. "Sipoene Ser Deg" ("The Sipo Are Watching You") is about being watched by the government, here called the Sipo after the WW2 Nazi monitoring branch. You have to pay a lot of money if you want the original 7" but according to Flo of Heart Fist there is a legit re-release on the way. This news dates back to September 2001, and I still haven't seen any release though. There is however a lot of bootlegs floating about".

Just to add here that the legit re-release (with bonus track and same artwork) was on Hit Me! Records. now go and get it

Detestation-A big white pat on the back 7"

Well, you know the band, you know the record, probably it was posted elsewhere before so there is no need for much blurb and it will be pretty short: A big white pat on the back was Detestation's picture disc, released back in 1998 on Clean Plate Records and consists of two tracks recorded during summer of 1996. The sound is a bit raw but dissent, as always Saira's voice is band's signature, A big white pat... is a high speed thrashing attack with nice basslines, Celtic Frost's Nocturnal has Detestation identity, it is played in their thrashing way and it is a good as the original,(listen the original version here and say what you think), lyrics of their track included in a sheet (check here)
Saira went on in Resolve and now is in Question and Faggot while the rest guys appeared in numerous great bands of Portland scene(Severed Head of State, Hellshock, Warnachine and many many others (Can someone make a family tree of Portland bands, please?). Clean Plate is the label behind a bunch of great releases of From Ashes Rise, Damad and others. Some more Detestation 7 inches are already here:split w Substandard, w Abuso Sonoro, w Beyond Description and the first 7" ever posted here, the Europa '98 tour 7".

Corrupted-Dio injusto 7"

Time for some doomy stuff: The Japanese masters of funeral doom metal released Dio injusto 7" in 1999 on Frigidity Discos. The artwork looks like it comes from a D-Beat / crust band and not from a sludge/doom act, there are two pressings of it, both pressings have the same artwork, the second one has slightly different color. Music wise, this is haunting and pessimistic metal with slow pace: There are two tracks covering the sides and deliver sorrowful sludge/doom with rough and throaty vocals, heavy tuned-down guitar with some mammoth drones while bass is there to feed the slow pace . The guitar lines that rise from the doom swamp are nice and the repeating riff hypnotically appears again and again is sick and heavy.Actually, Dio injusto/Unfair God is one track sung in Spanish and English, side b follows from where side a ends and thats the explanation how they managed to zip a song in a 7".
Frigidity Discos released some of Corrupted records (Paso Inferior and some of their splits). No need to say anything about the band, if you want more infos check their site, their myshit or wiki, some Corrupted posts are already here:Anciano 7" and split w Sloth

Capital Scum-Clutch the flag 7''

Here's some old scums from Belgium delivering absolute Discharge/Varukers worship : Capital Scum formed in 1983 in Scherpenheuvel and Clutch the flag was their first record, released by Hageland Records in 1986. In 1987 they released Tsjerno kills lp (Hageland) and appeared in several compilations including Extreme Noise tape (Extreme Noise zine, 1984), Alle 24 Goed lp(Punk Etc, 1985), Emma 2xlp(M.A. Draje, 1986) and others. In 1988 they called it quits, in 2002 they came back in action and the next year they released the Freakshow 7" and in 2005 the 100% Guilty cd.
For more details, bio,discog, pictures, etc about them check their site or Kill From The Heart.
Clutch the flag was recorded in Emma, Amsterdam's biggest squat back in these days and delivers five tracks and about eleven minutes of powerful hardcore D-Beat blending Varukers and Discharge. Songs are full of energy, guitar riffs are heavily influenced by Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing era and Varukers ep's, even the vocalist is close to Rat's voice. Nice stuff... There is a sixth track and its just some noise made by the guitar.
There is nothing else to say, go get it

Crossing Chaos-Disgusting reality 7"

Swedish hardcore at its best: Crossing Chaos hail from Avesta, a municipality in the middle of Sweden, you probably know them and if you don't, check their myspace for a detailed biography.
Disgusting reality 7" was released in November of 2003 by Blindead Productions in 500 copies and it is out of print, actually the label offers it for free and so does with From the Nearest Liqour Store in Hell 7" and in case you didn't see this before Behind the glamorous face... 7" is posted here.
So there is no much left to say about it, Here you got it in 320kbps, full scans (and a limited number of downloads incl. a free beer card for Whispy's pub,so you have to be fast,hahaha!!). There are six tracks delivering raging Swedish hardcore with drums that create a chaotic Armageddon in a blending of Skitsystem, Disarm and Anti-Cimex. A Moderat Likvidation cover is included, the record comes in gatefold cover, black vinyl, the color of artwork is a little weird (not the typical black/white ) and lyrics included inside. The crust fashion of misprinted tracklist is here:Disgusting reality is B1 track and Enemy of the state is B2...
Thats it, go get it

Active Minds-The lunatics have taken over the asylum 7" (flexi)

There is no much left to say about these punks, they are active since 1987 and in 2009 they keep playing gigs and releasing records, web is full of resources about them and more or less you probably have listened to their tunes before so there is no need to say anything about them or their music. The lunatics... is a flexi released in 1994 on a bunch of labels including Loony Tunes (their own label), Per Koro, DIY Rec.s (singer of Battle of Disarm 's own label), Nikt Nic Nie Wie Rec.s and many others. It comes in a news paper like cover including lyrics sheets in several languages: polish, Japanese, Spanish etc, actually i don't know if these writings are the lyrics or the translation of lyrics explanation that is included in English but in any case its worth to check.
Loony Tunes was Active Minds own label, apart from their records they released records from several other bands including Equilibrium 7" of Atavistic, Totalitar's Luftslott 7" and Satanic Malfaction's I 've had just had about it all i can take
Thats the short short rant. Go get it (all scans included), check also Protest zine for an old interview from 1994
