EVERGREEN TERRACE - Almost Home (2009)

Evergreen Terrace, Jacksonville, USA, has been blazing their own path through the fast and hard melodic Olld School Hardcore style for over a decade now.

RAY REARDON YOUTH - UK Snooker Violence (2006)

Ray Reardon Youth (UK) was formed in summer 2005. Some time after Wives Of Seth split a few of us hooked up with Mad John of Deathskulls.

I like this band and I hope that you like too.. ;) 5 stars!

REJECTED YOUTH - Angry Kids (2005)

From the city of Nuremberg (Germany) comes REJECTED YOUTH, south-german Street Punk band. Formed In the summer of ’98 the band played something in between Youth Of Today, Minor Threat and Sick Of It All part. Now they orientated themselves more on traditional Street Punk Rock.This album was a milestone in the history of the band. Songs like „Antifascista“, „A Threat Again“ or „Bad Boys Attack“ are definitely their most popular songs! Direct and dirty, rough and inconvenient. They were conscious of the liability that a band has and so the messages steadily became more political and critical.

''The Sangre'' CD includes 14 power hungry songs dealing with politics, presonal expierences and all the other social issues we are dealing with these days. And very intelligently written song lyrics If you want a fast and honest record that yells at you for doing nothing then grab this record... Recommended!

NIGHTMARE / SKITKIDS - Split EP (2007)

Second split 7” Skitkids have shared with a Japanese band and, it has to be said, Nightmare give ‘em a slightly better run than Exhale did back in ’05. Seems the Swedes are very much aware of this and have pulled out all the stops, ramping their manic crust n’ roll through the roof to the point where the hardcore is more blazing than ever before and the Motörhead-style rockin’ is just plain off the dial... Couldn’t say that Osaka’s Nightmare are exactly wallflowers either, their bombastic hardcore waging all out war on everything in its path with ridiculously overdriven guitars and frantically spat vocals! 2 fast & agressive Crust Hardcore songs from NIGHTMARE and 2 Crust 'n' Roll songs by SKITKIDS!

POPULATION REDUCTION - Each Birth A New Disaster (2008)

Full fucking Grind / Trash / Punk all about drugs and sausages and bong rips and schnauzers and amish people. Get this or get punched in the face! This is a half-hour of punk-crusted death, laugh-out-loud grindcore and basic but effective riffs. The band’s 2008 album “Each Birth A New Disaster” get a 7 tracks of speed picking, blast beats, howls and growls. I've recommend for fans of Terrorizer, old Napalm Death, Discordance Axis and Hellkrusher....

CAPTAIN CLEANOFF - Symphonies Of Slackness (2008)

Hailing from Australia, these Grind / Hardcore freaks unleash 21 tracks of old school early Earache Records-style grindcore in the vein of Napalm Death, Carcass and Texas lunatics Kill The Client. The music is fast and abrasive with lightning fast Mick Harris-style blasts, super distorted bass, chainsaw revving riffs and vocals that can best be described as a grizzly bear eating a squawking pigeon alive. The songs are short, insanely fast, but remarkably catchy. It’s been so long since From Enslavement To Obliteration was released that I forgot grindcore could sound this fucking good!

WARCRY - Nausea EP (2008)

Yeah!!! This is fucking great! This group features members of His Hero Is Gone, Tragedy, Severed Head Of State, Funeral, Call The Police, Bacteria, Hellshock, and Remains of the Day. What can I say?! Warcry’s music is characterized by its unrelenting, heavy Hardcore Punk sound, often punctuated by melodic interludes and downshifts in tempo. The band draw from many various early Hardcore Punk bands as influences, most prominently in the vein of D-beat, ranging from Discharge themselves to Japanese Crust & D-beat groups... 4 tracks, short but effective!

NATIONAL DISASTERS – And It Begins... CD (2009)

It's time for NATIONAL DISASTERS (Mexico). We start off with a dark apocalyptic mourning instrumental, which then segues into good modern crusty anarchist hardcore which is a lot harder to pin down than one might expect. It’s got elements of T-beat, some good tribal elements (hand-drumming… very nice indeed), some grind influences and blastbeats every once in a while. It’s a mixed-bag sound wise, but it works... it works very well, in fact. Lyrically we’re dealing with capitalism, globalization, and mankind’s mania for conquest. The songs are in Spanish....

Finland's answer to Disclose on qualudes. Super noisy and super nihilistic. 8 songs that are bursting of energy and rage of brutal Finnish Grindcore, with hints of Crust... Total destruction! Political, social and personal thought are dealt with in the lyrics... and fast agressive crust hell just for you! Well worth the wait and highly recommended of course!!! If you prefer your Grindcore more transparent or with a modern touch this one might probably be not something for you. Hail Katastrofialue!!!

ANATOMI 71 - På Giftets Vingar LP (2009)

The ANATOMI-71 terror unit is back after their full-length release "Mot Nya Höjder" and continue the tradition of great Swedish D-beat and raw Crust, like old scandinavian punk pioneers. The band started in 1999, and have since then transformed from a not-that-serious punk/noise/joke project into a somewhat less silly, yet quite absurdist (hehe...), raging Hardcore Punk unit and they are still going strong. So if you like your d-beat raw and pretty pissed off fresh sounding give it a try!

Japanese Hardcore Crust peace-punk influenced by UK and Scandinavian styles. Comparable to early Extreme Noise Terror and 90's doom influenced crustcore. This Reality Crisis release shows these Nagoya crust stalwarts taking their original sound, which was heavily influenced by Doom, Wolfpack, Sore Throat and Extreme Noise Terror and adding the more driving, tense style of Conflict and traditional Japanese hardcore.

CONTROL - Hooligan Rock'N'Roll (2009)

The debut album from a brand new, hard-hitting Oi! Punk act with plenty to say. The band formed in 2008 in London... Tough un-compromising music, full of energy, melody, thought provoking lyrics and choruses, which will stick in your head for days. Like Agnostic Front and SLF, they want to be a voice of the streets, standing up against the authorities, who they feel are fast making the world a scene from 1984, where Big Brother is watching everything you do. The track, ‘Keep the Homes Fires Burning’, features on the soundtrack of the new movie, Green Street 2 – Stand Your Ground. Welcome to the wonderful and very real World of Control!

GAZ 66 INTRUSION - Death Tomorrow (2009)

GAZ 66 INTRUSION is a Powerviolence band from the ultimate depths of Ukraine. I'm glad to say that this band is fucking amazing! More like a sick Grindcore band, bringing to mind bands like Cephalic Carnage, and even Discordance Axis at times, but at the same time, they don't sound like carbon copies of those bands... Ten songs, pretty fucking short, but not too bad considering. Hope you enjoy their noise... I have no artwork for this one again, so sob on your keyboard, you over-confident googling completists! Hehehe... ;)
