Available releases:

Ambulance s/t 7"
- This is not a "real" BHR release, but the label who did this wishes to remain secret so we are doing all the distro. This is the debut release from a young Umeå hardcore band feat. ex-members of Eclipse. If you have heard that old band (BHR#5) you know what to expect: A full on brutal assault stealing aspects of both metal and fast hardcore. Of course they are obviously influenced by the current wave of US neo-käng (Tragedy, From Ashes Rise, Diallo, Artimus Pyle etc) but they mix it w/Swedish death metal and fukking balls out female growling. Hellish, to say the least. This is the 2nd press, 300 copies on clear vinyl.

Mp3: Words



Randy "Cheater" 7" (BHR#21)
- A 7" vinyl version of a MCD on the multi death corporation Burning Heart. Feat. three awesome tracks of snotty and fast punkrock. Hardcore puritans beware: This is NOT hardcore/thrash/crust/grind/sludge/whatever. This is dirty and mean streetwise old-school 77-styled pankfakkingrawk played by a bunch of bitter old farts. Like Damned meets Angry Samoans at a Hollywood coke party, they do ALL the drugs and then puke on the host and tells everyone to "Sod off". Gotts to love it kids. Clear vinyl, 500 made.

Mp3: Cheater


Razors Edge "Thrash march EP" 7" (BHR#18)
- Re-issue of this mighty Japanese bands debut vinyl from 1998. The original has been sold out for a long time and was only released in Japan anyway, so we thought we'd share this little secret with you. This band feat. Kenji from Jellyroll Rockheads on vocals and you can tell: thrash thrash thrash to the max! You get six rippers of high-speed, manic Japanese thrashcore that still manages to deliver a catchy hook and cool sing-a-long chorus. Yellow vinyl, 500 made.

Mp3: Future president/Born again



Artimus Pyle/Diallo split 7" (BHR#17)
- Yes, the great American metal massacre is finally out! Two lengthy doom-ridden tracks from each band. This is actually the last ever release from Diallo - R.I.P. If you have never heard either bands you are missing out. Both bands deal in super heavy, fast, destructive and dark hardcore, but without sounding anything like each other. Totally punishing. And yes, the cover was once again supplied by supreme artwork dealer Mike Bukowski.


Artimus Pyle Mp3: Dirty laundry/War profiteers
Diallo Mp3: Unclenched


Caustic Christ/Rambo split 7" (BHR#16)
- Two of the best current US bands team up for a skullfukking experience in old-school hardcore.
And boy, do they succeed or what?! This baby takes your face clean off. No stupid limited versions, all black vinyl that comes in a full color sleeve courtesy of Mr. Mike Bukowski. If you check the Shop, we also have older releases from both bands.

SOLD OUT. 2nd press out in August.

Caustic Christ Mp3: Burned, 13
Rambo Mp3: 40's are for Molotovs


Spazm 151 S/t CD (BHR#15)
- Our first album release on BHR! This is a CD version of the mindblowing LP released by Mind Control in 2001. Fast, beefy and incredibly catchy hardcorepunk made in Texas, USA. Think Offenders and Jerry's Kids updated for for the new millenium. We are so glad that we get to do this. If you don't like this, you are NOT hardcore enough! Mixed by Mieszko of Nasum at his own Soundlab studio in Örebro, Sweden.

Mp3: Freedom/Tear it up

Arroganta Agitatorer "Arrogans EP" 7" (BHR#14)
- Prime old-school Swedish thrash meets early USHC! Official re-issue of this Swedish KBD/eBay gold 7", including an unreleased bonus track. Originally released in only 500 copies by the band themselves back in 1983

Mp3: Why why Enola Gay

Born Dead Icons / Coma split7" (BHR#12)
- Canadian veteran sluggers meet young Swedish metalheads in this super heavyweight match. Some fukked up shit going on here, I can tell ya'll that... BDI do two new songs of their special brand, a mix of Motörhead, Amebix, Voivod and Discharge. Sweet! Coma's three new songs come of as a splendid hybrid of Entombed and Anti Cimex. Käng! Almost sould out, no wholesale/trades! Only mailorder!

Coma Mp3: Brick

The Dead Ones "The Busted Heads EP" 7" (BHR#11)
- This is one of Sweden's best new bands! A very aggressive thrash mix of USHC and Swedish raw punk and w/a hint of of traditional Japanese vibes. Eight songs of fast, raw, distorted chaos. Go fast and fast! Also check out their debut 7"+ brand new LP on U.S. label Gloom! Second press on red vinyl! Almost sold out, no wholesale/trades! Only mailorder!

Total Fury "Committed To The Core EP" 7" (BHR#10, Euro press)
- Finally! Ten brand new songs from Japan's craziest, most over-the-top USHC worshipers. SSD + Minor Threat + amphetamine = Total Fury! Almost sold out, no wholesale/trades! Only mailorder!
