Some bad news:
You probably know about the changes in Divshare server. You could make an account there and upload as many files as you want and there was no bandwidth limit for downloads. This was the situation until the guys there decided to give 5 GB storage and 50 GB of downloads per month. There is no storage problem but 50 GB downloads per month is not enough and makes things difficult: The new shit started in January 17 and we are at 82% , this is because of the blog visits=downloads but also because of something else:Divshare counts as download not really the download but the simple click to open the page before the download starts,if you cancel the download by leaving the page,Divshare counts the entering to the page as one time download, some times it counts twice or thrice one download (i ve discovered that comparing the number of downloads in 4shared and divshare, divshare gives always bigger numbers, sometimes the double, while 4share is most accourate in counting . That means Divshare somehow cheats but we can not prove it..
Divshare did this for their own reasons($$$$) since the solution for this problem is to upgrade your account and get 10 times bigger bandwidth. I guess none will upgrade,am i wrong?
Back to crust now:
This is a split with two legendary crustcore bands from Belgium and Portugal.
Hiatus was formed in 1989 in Liege, Belgium, they recorded two demo tapes("
The frightening men's story" and "
In my mind"), they released some vinyl outbreaks of crust in early/mid 90's, they disbanded in mid 90's and members went on with
Unhinged. For more details about their bio and discography check
wikipedia or this old
website.we ve met Hiatus here on
Way of Doom 7" and Stig from Mad Blasts of Chaos has posted their
split w/ Doom
I dont know much about Portugese scene but Subcaos were one of the most important bands and one of the few bands i know from there along with Symbiose. A nice scene report is posted on
4 the kids" blog.
Anyway, They were formed in 1991, they split in late 90's and formed back in 2002, i m not gonna put here their bio, check their
myspace for infos about their discography and a detailed history written by F.J. aka "Xico", mainman of band.
This split a.k.a. "Police riot/Disarm all pigs now" was released in
1995 1994 by Slime Records and each band contributes live recordings, three Hiatus and four Subcaos tracks for about 13 minutes of raw crustcore. Hiatus tracks were recorded in Brno, Czech Republic and Subcaos tracks come from a gig in live in Belgium.
Tracklist:
Hiatus:
1: Way of doom
2: Disarm the bastards
3: Purulent stench of war
Subcaos:
1: Realities of war
2: Militaristic farce
3: Poison
4: Put your trash in a can
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 were also in Disface and Leadershit, 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
