Dispose-Traces of Reality & Anthems of Massacre

This is Dispose from Bratislava, Slovakia, not the Sweden's D-beat freaks but they are equal to the Swedes in the D-beat they deliver: They formed in 2007 by  two members of Beton, one member of Dead Is Sexy and one from International Karate and Lutra. The played in about five live shows and sometime they managed to record the Traces of Reality demo and later the Anthems of Massacre, (actually Anthems.. was the reason to contact the band and ask them some info). Dispose was formed just to play pure old school D-beat and that's what these recordings deliver: Both demos are a homage to Discharge legacy and include songs that could be composed by Discharge in their early days or by Disaster and Dischange in War Cry and Seeing, Feeling, Bleeding sessions. I think this describes the whole shit here, there is not any reinvention of wheel but deep love for D-beat. Traces of Reality consists of ten tracks while Anthems of Massacre brings five songs, both sound equal to me, there is this old school flavor and feeling and decent sound quality. All and all these demos do no miss something that could make them stand lesser to other D-beat bands. Sadly the band didn't put out anything as official release so these recordings remained just demos (some labels should have a listening of these!), apparently  the band faded away and members continued with other projects (Lutra etc)
I discovered Anthems in a Youtube vid and recently i discovered their bandzone page (bandzone is a short of bandcamp/soundcloud for Czech Republic and Slovakian bands) where both demos are available, there is also a bandcamp page with both demos. Many thanks to the band for providing information, cheers and best wishes!

Alea Iacta Est-Demo CDr & split 7" w RAS


My apologies to Attila for forgetting to post this. Alea Iacta Est (the die has been cast) come from Galanta, Slovakia and deliver brutal grindcore, they are active since 2009 and they have a bunch of releases under their belt: a Demo CDr (2009) ,  the Splitted alive, split live cd with Jack (Sekáč Records) and the split 7" with Ras (2012, (Sekáč ) from Spain and several appearances in compilations (check here)
Here we go the demo from 2009 and band's side from the split with Ras. The demo was self-released and delivers twelve songs (including a Rot cover) and fourteen minutes of brutal grinding noise with a few hardcore and crust elements popping up from time to time, this is a short of  D.I.Y. homerecording since it was recorded in vocalist's house. Songs are fast, short, sound quality is great and lyricwise deliver sociopolitical topics.Alea Iacta Est's side from 7" split continues the same brutal way as the cdr and maybe more brutal and aggressive: Fast, brutal blastbeating ear tormenting noise ,it consists of five tracks and each hardly makes it over one minute, sound quality is in high level and one step better than the cdr
There is an interesting interview in Campaign for the Musical Destruction, you can read it here,

Dead is Sexy-Demo 2006

Dead is Sexy come from Pezinok Slovakia (Slovak Republic) , they formed in 2006 and this is their demo recorded that year. They had some line up changes and this is their only recorded material. the demo delivers eight tracks and 24 minutes of heavy crust/hardcore with brutal vocals. The sound is a a bit raw and rough with metallic hint and they manage to deliver the aggression, the vocalist growls deep low, drums are clear and song tempos vary from mid paced to fast but more variety on this would work nicely. Surprisingly, some twisted guitar solos appear here and there. Discharge, Disfear, Arnia, Dischange, Asocial, Nihilist, are mentioned as influences. In 2008 they were supposed to have started rehearsing but there is not any news on their myshit
