Mother Disobedience "3 Folk Greats About Fear, Faith And Consumption"

This is third EP by Mother Disobedience (this time in 320 kbps) and it's released after their "Lahar" EP from 2009 which you can find on Escape From The Wave, the blog done by Kostas. You can find more greek (and other) bands there too.
As I've already said, this is not my cup of tea, but I'm really looking forward to hearing Mother Disobedience/Arxi Tou Telous project band called Plague which plays early 90's crust/d-beat black metal. Surely sounds like a winner to me.

Mother Disobedience "3rd Studio Amendment"

Kostas from Arxi Tou Telous sent me another contribution. In fact, it's four contributions. Two albums of his other band - Mother Disobedience and two compilations on which his bands appeared.
Mother Disobedience play experimental noise rock and I believe that this is their first release. I am not a very big fan of experimental music, so as much as I love his other band, this one doesn't speak to me. Don't get me wrong, I think it's quality work done here, but my ears like other noises more.
If you are into such kind of stuff I urge you to give it a try.
Mp3 quality is 128 kbps, but they sound good.

Arxi Tou Telous "Thorivos"

After doing the B-day post with re-ups, the first music post (Siebensünden "En Kula Till Tröst" LP) made me think of ripping and posting Warcollapse's "Crust As Fuck Existence", but two mails that I got made me not to do it and happy because of it. The first mail was from Jalle of Siebensünden/Warcollapse/PAS-83 Productions saying that "Crust As Fuck Existence" is repressed on vinyl and is available from Insane Society - or from PAS-83 if you are from Sweden. So, if you don't have this classic - what are you waiting for?
The other mail was from Kostas of Arxi Tou Telous and as promised four posts ago, he sent me their new album titled "Thorivos" ("Noise" in english). You can read more about the band in their last post. I should listen this album one or two more times to give it a fair review and I'm already posting this after first listening, so there's nothing special to say at the moment than if you enjoy noise/post punk music - you should get this. I don't know about you, but I really like these guys.
It seems that you are getting your dose of gloomy music after all. Enjoy.

Arxi Tou Telous "Live Sto Polytexneio"

Since I've been quite lazy lately it's great to get a contribution for the blog, so thanx to Kostas for contacting me with the stuff from his band Arxi Tou Telous. They hail from Athens, Greece and the members are Giannis (vocals), Kostas (guitar), Panos (bass) and Vaggelis (drums).
There's rarely any new stuff here, but this one is recorded just one month ago. What Kostas sent me is this live recording of their gig from the technological university of Athens which was held on 16/9 where they shared the stage with Witch Hunt, Hibernation and No Way Out. As I've already mentioned a couple of posts ago, I'm not much of a fan of live recordings, but this one is quite well recorded and gives good insight in bands' sound. The music is that gloomy dark hardcore post punk in that good old way only greeks do it. This is first release on their own B24 label/distro. They mostly do tapes and have already published three more releases with noise / no wave / experimental bands from Greece. They could wind up here too and if they are as good as this release you should definitely check it out.
You can contact the band here: anexparagogh@yahoo.gr or through their MySpace.
Here's what they wrote about themselves:
Arxi tou telous means "the beginning of the end", we've chosen that name because we wanted a way to explain our theory about life, we believe that a circle,in which every single spot is the beginning and the end at the same time, represents the way in which people grow up and die (giving their place to other people etc.) - (life giving her place to death). It was about 9 years ago when we decided to write some of our own songs. All keen admirers of hard, experimental and atmospheric sounds, we can say that especially new wave- no wave bands from the 80's inspired us the most. As the Years passing we are steping forward in order to find how long is our musically journey. We like trying new ways of creating dark punk songs, basically by finding atmospheric doomed riffs "married" to new wave - punk bass lines. Our lyrics, mostly written by Giannis, are social-political and have to do with subjects such as racism, human relationships, feelings etc. Our first album under the title “Noise” will be released the next months.

Mushroom Attack/Forgotten Prophecy split LP

This great record preceeds the birth of two great bands. From the ashes of Holland's "Mushroom Attack", "Fleas And Lice" were born, and from Greek "Forgotten Prophecy (Xehasmeni Profiteia)" - "Hibernation".
That doesn't mean that these bands are not as good. No way. This record kills. Mushroom Attack also had split LP w/Disorder in '93 called "Masters Of The Glueniverse" which is also great and it has my favourite record cover ever. Here's a short info on them.
And Forgotten Prophecy, well, hear it yourself. You know what to expect if you are familiar with Greek crust bands.
Here you can find Forgotten Prophecy lyrics.

Hibernation "Into The Silence Of Eternal Sorrow"

Haven't found this release on Skuld website, but Power It Up MySpace page says it's sold out, so I guess it's OK to post this.
This album is another masterpiece from these Greek gods of crust. Again powerful dark crust, now with added excellent female singer and synth. Can't help it, but each time I play this it always stucks in the player for two or three listens. 10 out of 10 Röckin' Nöiz points.
As a bonus on this CD is their "Loneliness" 7" from 2000.
You can still find this excellent release on various distros worldwide. It's well worth the money.
Here you can find English translations for all the songs from this release.

Hibernation s/t 7"

Heimeria Narki (or Hibernation in English) hail from Athens, Greece and play powerful and dark crust in the vein of Amebix, Antisect, Nausea and similar (well, the typical Greek crust) and they kick ass.
The band formed after demise of Chaotic End and Forgotten Prophecy. This 7" was their first effort. After this they had "Loneliness" 7" and LP "Into The Silence Of Eternal Sorrow".
My favourite Greek band.
Here you have their fan MySpace page. This 7" (not this rip) also on 7inchcrust with more info and scans.
