SOZIEDAD ALKOHOLIKA - Mala Sangre (2008)

It is not easy to classify Soziedad Alkoholika within a specific style of music. Thrash, Hardcore, Metal, Punk… The only sure thing is that its foundation has always been in its strength and speed, displaying a wide and varied selection of influences based on their particular style as is shown in their arrangements. With regard to their text, they have always been faithful to the music. Corrosive and explicit lyrics, full of social commitment and direct protest, have been one of its main characteristics. Rock Zone selected this record as the best album of the year in 2008.

BLACK SHIPS - Omens (2008)

''Omens'' is the debut Black Ships (Canada) LP and finds the band combining the traditional Hardcore song writing formula of aggressive chords and fast tempos with the conflicting slower, trudging sounds of Sludge. While not being as slow as traditional Sludge, tracks such as “No Eulogy” still manage to use the sludgy influence to drown the listener in long, droning chords which provide murky atmospheres and a perfect backdrop for the vocals. Hopefully the band will continue to guild on this promising start, further develop their sound and produce another great record with their sophomore.

APPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT - Armageddon Won't Be Brought By Gods... EP (2007)

Every once in a great while, a new band comes along with such intense fury that they capitvate all who hear and see them - APPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT is one such band. Hailing from the mountians of West Virginia, ATU belt out a thunderous chorus of eco-awareness and chastisement for mankind's destructive ways (or at least those who are in control). Musically they combine classic Punk, Crust, and a hint of Metal into a sound that's likened to later years NAUSEA, totally reinforced by the strong female vocals throughout.

FINAL CONFLICT - No Peace On Earth No Rest In Hell (2006)

Final Conflict is regarded as the first extreme Hardcore Punk band from the Los Angeles/ Orange County area. They incorporated a British-style hardcore punk rock at a time when many punk rock bands were breaking up or banned from local clubs. Final Conflict continued to gain a following during the mid-1980s, a time when the Punk scene was at its weakest popularity. During this time, Final Conflict has always stuck to its original Hardcore / Punk ideals. This is their last LP.

WARKRIME - Tighten Up EP (2008)

Warkrime were a somewhat controversial punk band from the Bay Area. This is faster sounding hardcore. Their sound has been compared to that of Articles of Faith and Septic Death. It's kinda sad. Loved this band since the first time we heard their demo, and now they are ending with "Tighten Up." 5 songs of their nihilistic, ferocious punk/hc/thrash that only they can produce. Great lyrics throughout, along with great tunes. This may be their best output, and it's a shame that it's the last one. Warkrime was a one-of-a-kind band!!!

Lyrically, the band have a lot to say, including some differences of opinion in certain aspects of the way German Antifascist groups operate. Really strong and inteligent political lyrics..

D.Y.S. was an American Straight Edge Hardcore / Punk band from Boston, and part of the notorious "Boston Crew" along with contemporaries such as SSD and Negative FX. The group later expanded their sound, becoming one of the first hardcore bands to veer into Trash Metal. The band released two albums: Brotherhood and DYS, an album that took more of a metal direction than their debut. DYS is considered by many to be one of the first crossover thrash albums released. DYS took its name from the Department of Youth Services, a Massachusetts governmental organization where deliquent youth were housed.

COMPLETE CONTROL - Reaction (2004)

Fist pumping, slam dancing and pogo-like hopping is bound to go down after exposure to Complete Control's inaugural release. The 11-track punk rock summit mixes the best of UK-based riotous punk with hints of So Cal hard punk of the mid '80s, as tracks like the simplistic bashings of "Substance Control" and "Guilty" are adrenaline-filled joyrides into the aggressive side of punk rock. This Austin, TX based quartet have got the acumen of bands like old Varukers sound, Bouncing Souls and Descendents in check, and REACTION spits them out with the kind of wrath that punk rockers worldwide can hone in on.

FRONTLINE ATTACK - Mindless Violence (2004)

Frontline Attack formed in 1994-1995 in Dallas, Texas. At a time when there was very little interest in this type of punk. Their early gigs were small local shows and often ended early as a result of violence. They managed to get banned from most venues in Dallas and as a result the band finaly split up in 1997. In 2000 Frontline reformed as a completely new band,with a new line-up and became a serious project. This album has just gone into its second pressing and is available world wide.

BLACK SS - Terror Of The North East: 2004-2007

Black SS recording history, includes two demos, two split EPs with both Raining Bricks and How We Are, a self titled EP as well as a full length LP. To save you the time of mining all these nuggets separately, the Reaper Records prospectors have panned the muddy creeks of recording tape to bring you the bounty — all of the above plus added surprises! An ouroboros of true Hardcore Punk! Unrelenting, honest and extremely unfashionable. An antidote to the rattling, empty bottles that deluge our scene. Creating a place where the people who don't fit, do; and the people who always excluded others are themselves ablated.

Legendary and influential UK political Hardcore Punk. While other vetran UK bands have toned down with age the Varukers still remain fierce and uncomprimising.

They are currently writing new material for a new album to be released in the near future...
