Well fuck you BUDDEH...I LIKED it!
Canada's answer to Framtid (minus the noise, and even more drum punches) with Andy Andersen fronting the mic, and...well that's all I've got...it's good...REALLY good (My fave tracks are "New #2" and "Blow It All To Hell")! Amazingly produced as well...what's up with Canadian studios or even BEDROOM studios like the Skeleton dude KILLING IT???

I was sent this link by Jo Germ to help pimp his homey's band (I'm so used to Jo being in a dozen bands at once...all VERY well home-produced and charming in their own right...that I had to doublecheck to make sure this wasn't yet another one of his entertaining one-offs).
Now THESE guys are apparently (Canadian) Japcore crusties going the UN-noisy route by fusing "Poetic Justice" era Ripcord with Larm's 2nd ep...but with more explosive blastbeats (and I DO mean explosive) and deeply-reminiscent-of-Laukaus style vocals...which is a good thing, because...
A: It reminded me I need to bust out my long neglected Laukaus collection.
B: Stylistically, the band is dangerously close to power-violence...and ALL O.G. power-violence vocals are a fucking JOKE! Even "Godhead" Denunzio was Infest's weakest link (I NEVER liked his vocals even 20 years ago...it's called a fuckin' opinion...GET OVER IT). So Concrete Asylum's Laukaus locutions deeply please me.
The band is eyebrow-raisingly tight, the production is good enough for an LP...so let's cut the foreplay: Deep Bob Six, need any new bands for a split ep with Low Threat Profile? :)
MY DYING BRIDE - FLAC of "Towards The Sinister" Demo 1990
MY DYING BRIDE - FLAC of "Towards The Sinister" Demo 1990http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JJUOMOV9
I'll forgo the bragging, but I will tell you A PEDANTIC STORY:
It's some forgotten month in 1990 (so I'm what, 17?) and I'm making my weekly excursion to Wild Rags for "anything grind". I'd torn through purchasing Earache and Nuclear Blast's entire catalogs the previous year (how many of you can say you got the Symphonies gatefold the month it dropped? Well, Mike Abominator can since he worked there, and yes I would see him there, but that's about it :/ ), and was hooked so badly that I'd often pull out some LP or 7" (solely on the merit of pee-chee-folder-satanist or watercolor Michelangelo-on-meth cover art) and ask Richard the EXACT same three words about the release: "Is this grind?" The fucker always said yes, irregardless if it was "grind" or not. 99% of the time it wasn't, it was death metal...but I can honestly say his bored answers are what got me hooked on Paradise Lost, Miasma, and Autopsy's debuts...and My Dying Bride.
Oddly, he always called Pungent Stench "death metal" to me, but I picked up all their vinyl anyway.
ANYWAYS and ironically this particular demo wasn't one I had pegged for "grind"...in fact, all I did was pick it up absentmindedly while looking for Immolation demos, and before I could even set it down Richard (in a just as bored sounding tone) tells me "you'd better buy that now because the band is talking to Peaceville". I didn't give it any more thought, I was SOLD...because even though the cynical son of a bitch constantly lied to me just to make a quick buck, it had the unintentional effect of getting me to pay attention to "this other label that ONLY seems to put out either death metal or DOOM records".
I'd like to say Richard had this paranormal insight into which bands would become future classics, but honestly...I think he just wanted more porn money out of me (Mikey can back this factoid up too...Richard was a fucking porno F-R-E-A-K!!! Supposedly as large as Felix Havoc's RECORD collection!!!).
Fast forward 20+ years and here we are. As you can tell by the pics, I lost the cover and the teenage me decided to tape Altars Of Madness on the b-side. I don't know why I called it "Altars Of Sacrifice" as well as psychically writing John Peel...but the tape survived (I thought I had lost the tape TOO until literally yesterday!!!) with it's original band-typed title-sticker intact...and the whole shebang is finally...FINALLY...F-I-N-A-L-L-Y out here in the electron cosmos as a FLAC!
No need to thank me noisenheimers...just name your first-borns after me!
