Colapsø-Demo 2018

D-Beat Crust Punk from Monterey, Mexico: Colapsø is a new band and this is their first  demo. The band includes people from bands such as Chimera , Hellcharger, Heädshöt and Frägments and the main influences come from bands such as Cop on Fire and the Swedish scene, they are going to record new tracks soon and they will be on tour in August. The demo is short since it lasts less than five minutes, it was recorded and mixed by Yair Lopez from Doomsday Records (a DIY label from Mexico DF, involved in the releases of Apärä, Charged SS, No Dogma and many many others) and mastered by Lenin Rojo (Mula Terca Rec.s,. Trazacielos) and consists of three tracks of D-Beat Ctust with filthy and noisy sound, angry shouts for vocals and lyrics in Spanish, this is old school driven D-Beat but with the modern distorted and heavy sound, reminiscent of Warvictims guitar and bass works. Good shit. The band is goin to enter the studio and record nine songs .The demo is available for free in bandcamp, listen and enjoy. thanks to Robert for the additional infos

Succubus-st

Succubus hail from Athens, Greece and this is their first work cuurently available only in bandcamp,  they are a crust/blackened crust band with melodic parts and committed to DIY ethics and as they say they are "against religions, cruelty to animals ,fascism, sexism ,child abuse,domestic violence". The recording is lengthy since lasts nearly 22 minutes and music wise it ballances between modern crust and blackened crust with black metal  influences entering in their crust and create a dark and malevolent result while the melodic passages make the whole thing even better. The vocals are rough  and come from the modern crust territory, the singer sings in greek language and in english as well. There's no any sign of physical release, i.hope to see it on vinyl or whatever

Dömesticrust-Another Reality//Another Fears

Here's an amazing band hailing from Indonesia: Dömesticrust is three guys from Kota,Bandung and they first appeared in 2017 with a two track demo, released only in bandcamp, this was was the first hint of the excellent crust they can deliver: Two solid D-beat tracks influenced by Doom, Disrupt and the likes.The demo was followed by Another Reality, Another Fears, a 10 tracks of Crust attack and a storm of old school Crust/D-Beat inferno: 8 new songs in the same pathway as their demo as well the two demo tracks and 24 minutes of crust. I love the bands who manage to deliver the goods without adding endless feedback of noise through distortion and reverb and Dömesticrust is one of them: Old school crust feeling and aggression, decent sound quality, the usual D-Beat drumming, excellent bass and guitar work, rough vocals. All perfect. This is available in bandcamp and youtube and according to a photo post  of band in their farcebook, Another Reality//Another Fears will come out as cassette, six months laters there's not any update about it, i guees this is the usual delay and sometime it will come out.

Decade-Demo (tape)

Decade come from Toronto, Canada, they are one of the bands that were born after the demise of Absolut (and Crotchmutt), the other new band is Last Agony, this demo is their first recorded material and was released on tape by Runstate Tapes. The cassette consists of six tracks and nearly eleven minutes of distorted and chaotic D-beat raw punk: The chaos begins after a one minute intro of indtrustrial sounds as the band kicks in with guitar and bass distortion to the maximum level, the usual D-beat drum attack and incomprehensible vocals drown in reverb and echo as much as can get. Everything stands well in the mix and completes a solid and raw sound of ear tormenting punk attack. The cassette is still availabe from Runstate Tapes (and probably elsewhere). And for vinyl lovers, Rawmantic Disasters will release it on seven iches.

Hellish View-Visions of Raw (demo)

Hellish View formed in Minneapolis, USA, in 2017, Visions of Raw is their first demo and one of the best Raw Punk demos for 2017. Named after a Disclose song, the band recorded ten songs in 8 track recording and delivers the perfect Disclose worship, i bet Kawakami smiles from heaven when listening this. Distorted and raw guitar and bass sound, D-Beat pummeling drums and agonizing vocals from hell, created an amazing D-Beat/Raw punk inferno. These guys have captured the feeling of raw punk sound the best way they could do. The demo lasts for nearly fifteen minutes, the first run of tapes was sold fast and a second round on Minneapolis based Desolate Records sold fast too. And the good news: Rawmantic Disasters will released it as 12 inch. Great! And here's a few words from Revenge Records about the demo:
"It is closer to DISCARD than the initial DISCLOSE aiming at DISCARD! What?
US 3 piece from Minneapolis D-BEAT RAW PUNK 1st pro copy cassette with 10 songs in 2018 by the new group! Because the band name uses the DISCLOSE story also on the sleeve in the song title of DISCLOSE, it is obvious that it is DISCLOSE warship, but this sound is amazing!
This is exactly RAW! And a very simple D - BEAT RAW PUNK with blackness of salt plum which makes you want to give a clown!And this is also wonderful This vocal roaring in vain with a crooked voice like dying!This vocal is very similar to DISCARD and it is awesome!

Future Terror-Toxic Greed (promo tape)

Richmond seems to be the birthplace of some great raw punk bands, Destruct, Relief and now Future Terror are some of them: Future Terror formed about a year ago and released We Are All Fucked an amazing piece of kängpunk noise in four tracks and a slight Doom flavor. Toxic Greed is their new work, three songs (plus one intro) in a promo tape for a new LP thats going to come out in the future. Following the steps of We Are All Fucked, Toxic Greed brings the same sonic hell, this time more chaotic, with full distortion and reverb and vocals drown in echo. All and all this is a nice shit of noise, blending some Swedish D-beat (Anti Cimex, Disarm, etc), there's nothing to complain here, its the perfect noise for your ear drums! the cassette is available from the band.

Destruct-Human Failure (tape)

Destruct hail from Richmond Virginia, USA and Human Failure is a four track cassette  of raw punk: No infos about the band this is probably their debut cassette. Music wise, you are going to get thrashed by a merciless storm of noise and a ferocious mixtire of Disclose and Totalitar: "In the current day, buzz words such as "Raw punk" and "D-beat" are constantly thrown around in effort to label bands heavily influenced by Discharge. While a great number try to emulate this style, few deliver with any substance. Destruct are a rarity; not only by having well-crafted songs that contain urgent, and crushing riffs, they also capture raw, yet powerful, sonic clarity. Four songs in the tradition of Disaster, Totalitar, & Disclose. Mastered by Shigenori Kobayashi at Noise Room Studio in Tokyo for maximum earache. Limited to 200 professionally duplicated cassettes." this is the description in Agitate Records where is still available. Available also in bandcamp. No need to say more. enjoy the noize

Contrast-6 tracks

Contrast is one man D-beat band from Petrozavodsk, a city located in northwest Russia, no any infos on the web, only a bandcamp page with no information. This is the debut release of this guy, uploaded in Bandcamp in December 2017 and probably recorded sometime earlier. As the title says, this recording consists of 6 tracks and brings nearly ten minutes of old school D-Beat, the quality is rough and noisy and fits nicely with the genre, the riffs are smart and catchy,  the vocals are angry shouts drawn in reverb. All and all this is a nice piece of D-beat shit and considering the fact that there is only one man behind this and probably doing everything until the songs come out in their final form, this is way better than your expectations. Hope to see more by Contrast in the future or even this in physical format.

Arid-Scars of War

This is Blackened Crust from Chicago, Illinois USA: Arid  describe them selves as "Anti-fascist, Anti-state, Anti-human and Misanthropic D.I.Y. band", they first appeared with their demo recorded in 2014 and Offerings cassette ep released in 2016. Scars of War delivers five songs incl. the cover of Doom's Nazi Die, the music ballances between crust punk and black metal, sometimes diving into infernal black metal realms and then into typical crust parts,the vocal style ranges from black metal high pitched shrieks to the crusty deep low throaty howls and that makes the whole thing more interesting. Nazi Die is nicely covered and it is not the only anti nazi song here. Nice and interesting effort and what they do really works. The release is available in bandcamp along with lyrics. Arid is part of Dystopian Cult Records & Warcrust Records

Phisique-Punk Life Is Shit MLP

Raw punk  from Olympia Washington, USA: "By now people know that most of the music coming out of Olympia WA is important in some way, be it artistically or politically. PHYSIQUE manages to hit both points by channeling the classic DISCHARGE/Kawakami (RIP) model of poetic, simplistic sloganeering and carefully crafted, noise fueled D-Beat punk music. "Punk Life Is Shit" exists to fight the nightmarish reality of inept politicians, capitalism, colonialism, gender struggles, Jesus useless Christ and impending nuclear war that we all live in.
8 songs pressed on 500 copies of 140gr black vinyl with an etched B-side, 22x22 double sided poster and digital download card all housed in a 24pt reverse board jacket. Photography by Yet Demeanor, Art by Bee, Fucker and Devin N.D.B.. Recorded by Joey at Left Field. Mastered by Will Killingsworth." (From Iron Lung bandcamp)
