Aborted "Mushroom sunset" (puke'n'vomit)
- Very, very angry USHC that takes it's inspiration from Poison Idea.
Very catchy and beefy hits, Jerry A would be proud.
The Avoided "Writing on the wall" (HG Fact)
- 4th EP from these Japanese punkers. This is straight up '77 stylee,
pure and simple. For all you punkrockers and motherfukkers out there who
dig Thunders, Dead Boys, Damned, Pistols etc.
Artimus Pyle / Crow split (Prank)
- A new US press of the Japanese only release to support the Artimus Pyle
tour in the land of the rising sun a few years back. They are devastating
as always. Full on fukked up and metallic hardcore, filled w/heavy riffs
and darkness. Crow are splendid Japanese hardcore. I love that country!
They do one Crow tune + a Crucifix cover.
Artimus Pyle "Inheritance" (Flowerviolence)
- Their latest EP, not counting the split w/Diallo on BHR. Four heavy
duty tracks of metallic US hardcore-meets-Swedish-hardcore-meets-Japanese-styled-craziness.
I love this band.
Artimus Pyle "Fortress" (Prank)
- Yup, these fellas have sure released a lot of quality hardcore. Five
tracks this time, always brilliant!
Asschapel "Rotting the body" (Hungry ghost)
- One of the best band names out there right now. Saw 'em live in the
states and they totally tore shit up. Heavy, brutal and gut wrenching
Carcass-styled grindcore, delivered w/punk dedication, energy and attitude.
Intense!
Authority
Abuse / Kakistocracy split
(Anthem For Doomed Youth)
- See below for a description
of AA. This is more of the same fine stuff. Less thrashy though and more
old-school hardcore. Kakistocracy is harsch crusty hardcore that reminds
me of the very early Neurosis, Christ On Parade and Nausea. Really cool!
On nice solid yellow vinyl too.
Authority Abuse s/t (Lengua Armada/Anthem For Doomed Youth)
- Ok, how to describe this baby... How about fast fukking balls-out
old-school hardcorethrashpunk? Will that do it for you? If not, fukk off!
Asta Kask "För kung & fosterland" (Rosa Honung)
- Essential fukking Swedish hardcorepunkfakkingrawk from 1983! Get this
get this get this!
Asta Kask "Plikten framför allt" (Rosa Honung)

EP recorded back in 1984. Essential for anyone interested in old-school
Swedish punk.
Apologia "Concrete locust" (ELP/BMR)
- Debut EP from this new Swedish grindcore band. Well produced and technical
brutality that would fit well into the Relapse crowd. Harsh, hard, devastating
- mangel!
A.I.M "Reverends And Rednecks" (Kangaroo)
- Anger In Motion (Australia) were around in the late 80's/early 90's.
This here EP was recorded in 1990 and originally released as a tape. This
shit here is really fukking powerful, fukked up old-school thrash DRI-stylee
from down under. If you've been following Kangarro for the past years,
you know what to expect.
Arroganta Agitatorer "Arrogans EP" (Busted Heads)
- Our own release. Prime old-school Swedish thrash meets early USHC!
Official re-issue of this Swedish KBD/eBay gold 7", including a bonus
track. Originally released in only 500 copies by the band themselves back
in 1983.
Asta Kask "Till Sista Droppen Studio EP" (Hohnie)
- Yes, the band that EVERY Swedish punk grows up with! If they
tell you otherwise, they are lying sob's. This is an official release
w/six old, unreleased songs. Outtakes etc etc. Cool as hell, old 80's
classic styled Swedish HARDCOREPUNK. NOT trall ok?!
Asbest "Nytt blod EP" (Hjernespind)
- Even more retrocore from fukking Denmark. What the hell is happening
down there?! If you are into Amdi Petersens ArmČ and Young Wasteners,
this baby is for you. Early 80's styled USHC, rippin! On blue vinyl.
Ambulance S/t (Dear You)
- Debut 7" from this new Ume hardcore gang. Feat. ex-members of Eclipse
and End Of Addiction, this brutal mob dish out fierce and metallic, d-beat
fueled crusty chaos w/female vocals. Check it out kids!
Assfort "Change of price or real speed" (Mangrove)
- Semi-classic traditional Japanese hardcore.These guys have been going
for quite some time now (this i from 1999) and they sure know what the
fukk is up. Diesel driven, fukking-hell-we're-on-fire, furious, Japanese
hardcore done the right way.
Asbestos S/t (Hibachi)
- Metallic, d-beat raw punk from Japan. A lot of heavy UK -82 vibes, think
Discharge "Never again", Varukers etc. Deadly and spikey shit.
Axiom "Impaled By Chaos" (Ministry Of Peace)
- Fast and oh so distorted crust chaos from Porland, USA. Anarcho crust
doesn't come much better than this. Incl. Asocial cover.
Armed With Intelligence "It Takes All KInds" (Punks Before Profits)
- Cool new US anarcho band. Fast, punchy hardcorepunk w/a crusty edge
+ female vocals. Kinda reminds me of Naked Aggression, Whorehouse Of Representatives
etc. Sincere DIY politics and green vinyl = cool!
The Awakening "The Final Feast " (Behold The Youthquake)
- 2nd 7" from this new US band. Metallic and dark mayhem galore! From
Ashes Rise/Tragedy stylee, but w/a more Japanese approach. Awesome, heavy
and brutal yet melodic at the same time.
AVO "Solutions" (Kangaroo)
- Infamous Aussie old-school thrashers. This EP is so fast, short-to-the-point
and furious that it will skank right of your turntable. 14 tracks of Poison
Idea-styled aural destruction. On Kangaroo of course, the Euro home of
quality international thrash.
Assault "Martyrdom" (Partners In Crime)
- So good. Raw and over-the-top Japanese hardcore that will blow your
mind baby. It's slightly metal, but still fukking fast hardcore to the
max. Somehow, the singer reminds me of the vocalist from Turbonegro...
Axiom "Establish A Culture Of Resistance" (Angry)
- A re-press of this Portland anarcho outfits debut record. It's divided
into "Crust Side" and "Blast Side" so I guess you can figure out what
it sounds like... Fast, sincere anarcho crust at it's best. Circle that
A motherfukker!
Article Nine "Fuelled By Anger" (HBG-HC)
- Yepp, the traditional Swedish hardcore sound still lives out there
in the frozen wastelands. Four heavy duty blasts of pissed-off, raw, fast
Scandicrust/k”ng core. Some light crossover metal tendencies, but not
tooo much. To add some spice, these guys mix some Brazilian moves a'la
RDP with their Swedish sound.
Bury The Living "Bathed in blood
" (Kangaroo)
- 3rd and latest offering from this US gang of thugs. They get more and
more Infest for every release - ace! Six tracks of hard-hitting USHC.
Infest, Negative Approach, Negative FX etc.
Born Dead Icons "Unlearn" (Heart first)
- New EP released for their recent Euro tour. Four tracks of doom'n'gloom.
I love this band sooo much. If you know them you know what ya get for
your cash. If you are an Icon virgin, this is a good start.
Born Dead Icons "Modern Plague EP" (that secret Tragedy label)
- The EP they did just before the split w/Coma on our label. Recorded
at the same session as that one + the "Salvation On The Knees" LP. If
you dig these Canadian kids, you'll praise the almighty hardcore god for
this one. If you don't, well then I guess it's your fukking loss. Crusty,
gloomy Mot–rhead/Voivod/Discharge worship at it's best. Includes a kick-ass
Wipers over. One of the best bands around.
Bruce Banner "I Love Fucked Up Noise!" (Bent Edge/PFC)
- Re-stock of this big seller. Feat. ex-members of Protes Bengt/Filthy
Christians! Great new Swedish thrash/power violence band w/dual vocals
and keyboard. But no, it's not as totally shit as the new Locust stuff.
This if fukking killer, even Felix Havoc likes it! They even do a Septic
Death cover.
Burning Kitchen "Confrontation" (Busted Heads)
- Yup, this is our own release. This is BHR2 (but for some reason the
labels says "Fukk2") and waaay out of print. By sheer luck we
have obtained a few extra copies from the slacker labels who helped co-release
it. This is a four track EP by the most smashing Swedish band of the late
90's. Totally rocking political punkrock w/female vocals. Catchy as fukking
shit. This band is greatly missed. See below for more BK.
Between Us S/t (Bridge)
- 2nd 7" from Stockholm's finest old-school warriors. Short, fast,
loud. Reminds me a lot of Section 8 and Outlast but w/better production
and better'n'tighter playing. Four hits designed to ignite the pit.
Bathub Shitter "Fertilizer" (First Blood)
- Oh no, these mad Japanese grinders are back! Fast and totally mad grindcore
dealing w/the joy of excrements. Fearsome and funny.
Bloodpact / Time X split (Still Holding On/Best Times)
- USA vs. Belgium, political sxe hardcore vs. political sxe hardcore.
Bloodpact is fast, pissed off USHC for those who dig 97A, Negative Approach
etc etc. Feat. members from Ruination. TX play angry youth crew w/socially
aware lyrics for those who dig bands like Outlast, Get Up & Go'ers
etc etc. I'm coming up, so you'd better get the pit started. Feat. artwork
by Mike Bukowski (Rambo)
Burning Kitchen "Consolidation" (Communichaos/Bent Edge)
- One of Sweden's top three absolute best bands of the 90's. Too bad they
called it quits. Nothing beats these girls'n'guys! Straight ahead powerful
political punkrock w/female vocals.Think X, X-Ray Spex and Dirt but w/a
more hardcore approach. Ace.
Blame Luke s/t (Greken)
- Damn it, LKPG is at it again w/their own style of traditional duppla-duppla
sxe USHC. Clean brekadowns, fast riffs, sliding guitar picks, mosh parts,
sing-a-longs... 1,2,3 - GO! Lmt. Edition of 350.
Besk "What went wrong?" (Halvfabrikat/Arson)
- Last 7" from this Swedish raw punk bunch. Political and fierce,
5 tracks of unpolished traditional Swedisg hardcore. On lmt amber vinyl.
Boycot / Tuco Ramirez split (Trujaca Fala)
- The Dutch veterans Boycot strike back w/5 massive thrash assault (incl.
and Insane Youth cover!). You can always count on Boycot to deliever the
core. TR (also from the Netherlands) are equaly short and sharp to the
point, but more US influenced. Think Negative Approach, FU's etc etc.
A cool split.
Black Eyes "Some boys/Shut up I never" (Release the bats)
- BE consist of two drum kits, two basses, one guitar, one 'piano', some
additional percussion, and some mouths. BE admire the UK rhythm of the
Slits, Pop Group + Gang Of Four mixed with US no wave and Black Flag.
Artsy but cool. Comes on black/brown vinyl. Slick. Produced by Ian from
Fugazi.
Blown To Bits "Devastation across the land" (Disintegration)
- Heavy, mohawk west coast USHC. A crusty, darker edge but still chaos
punk as fukk. Go get them tiger!
Barebones "Speed Freak" (Mangrove)
- Crunchy, catchy and Motorhead-driven rock'n'roll played by Japanese
punx = a fukking cool hardcore edge. Put on your sunglasses, leather jacket,
iron cross, light a cigarette and let's fukking go!
Bathub Shitter "One fun" (Power It Up)
- New 7" by these outstanding Japanese poo-loving grind terrorists. Dual
vocals and great blistering grind. 5 new songs + covers of S.O.B. + Terrorizer.
A must if you like your grindcore brutal.
Bathub Shitter "97 + 3 shit points" (Power It Up)
- Euroversion w/bonus songs (the split w/Dudman) of this classic Japanese
grind EP. See above + below for more shit from these crazy fukks.
Bomb Builder "Drop The Big One EP" (Crucial/Constant Pain)
- This is basically the much feared Gordon Solie Motherfuckers w/a new
name and a new singer and a slightly different sound. This is faster and
more Japaneese sounding old-school hardcore. To give you a hint, they
do covers of Systematic Death and Terveet Cadet. This is a good fukking
7".
Bones Brigade S/t (Belief Crisis)
- Boston straight edge revenge! Debut EP from this new fresh thraaash
troop! Six high-speed tracks action packed w/moshing.
Bread And Water / Reason Of Insanity split (Burrito)
- Political and metallic anarchocrust w/female vocals. Catchy tunes and
a good attitude. Crush the state! ROI walk along the same path, but w/male
vocals and a faster, less metal and more hardcore approach. Good fukking
hardcore from both bands! Nice, dark marble grey vinyl. Funny fold-out
sleeve that takes the piss out of Sex Pistols and Discharge.
Boxed In S/t (Crime Scene)
- This is the band of old farts that made our UK Summer Tour 2002 such
a pleasant experience. Fukking solid as hell heavy hardcore w/nods to
the classic Swedish sounds (Anti Cimex) and the classic UK sound (Heresy,
Ripcord and Discharge of course!). All hits, no misses! Even the cover
of Anti Cimex "When The Innocent Die" is a winner. Possibly the best current
European sounding hardcore band. Watch out for 2nd EP on our label Busted
Heads.
Born Dead Icons / Coma split7" (BHR)
- Our own release. 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!
Blood Of Others S/t /Thought Crime)
- Yes, the Australian band that did a split7" w/us back in 1998 are back.
And with a vengeance too! Fast, political and sincere hardcore thrash
from down under. This was sure worth the wait.
Black Star Brigade "Coming Thru The Airwaves" Cutthroat)
- Texas street punx gonna fukk ya up! Catchy, melodic pankfakkingrawk
w/an obvious Clash/Rancid influence. Pull on your boots and let's pogo!
Blue vinyl.
Batthub Shitter "Mark A Muck EP" (Sounds Of Betrayal)
- Japanese grinders obsessed by poop! Oh for fukks sake... GRIIIINDCOOORE!!!
Betercore / Ohlo De Gato "Fuck The Borders!" split (International
Solidarity)
- A devestating split release, heavy on the distortion and feedback! Betercore
(Holland) are so over the top fast thrash that it almost blows a hole
in my roof! Very americanized and dirty hardcore, or to use their own
words: "This is youthcrust"! Great anti-hierarchy lyrics too. I have no
idea were ODG are from. They are somewhat less manic than Betercore but
still good, solid really fast hardcore. Screaming lyrics and plenty of
stop-and-go's.
The Burning Flames / The Get Up & Go'ers split (Euphony)
- Two Swedish old-school hardcore bastards fighting it out in the pit.
Both fast and furious, both totally overlooked. A shame! Probably the
best stuff the Get up dudes have done so far.
Blindspot A.D. "Pain Is Not The Cleanser" (Useless)
- Germanic crazy and fukked up grindcore. Nine songs of hatefull noise
and distorted riffs. Brutal! Extra thick vinyl.
Career Suicide S/t (Kangaroo)
- Pissed off and raging Canadian hardcore done the early 80's way. Seven
tracks going straight for the throat w/a clean but still raw production.
Cripple Bastards / Regurgitate split (EU)
- Total grind carnage mayhem on nice splatter wax. CB are Italy's long-running
fearsome pv-grinders. RGTE are Stockholm Sweden's #1 Carcass-worshipers.
If you like down-tuned gurgelgrind, this is the split for ya'll.
Conclusion "Wasuresarareta kioku no zangai" (HG Fact)
- Just don't ask what the title means... Four scorchers made in Japan.
This has traditional, more dirty edge that reminds me of the almighty
GISM. This isn't as metal though, just fukking ace hardcore. Clean.
Good bass player.
Constricted "A sick and desperate need that drives me" (Answer)
- More well-produced, fast hardcore from Japan. This has a more US thrash
touch, but the Japanese vibes of Dicharge-on-twice-the-speed is there.
Fukking awesome cover too.
Coma / Autoritär split (Yellow Dog)
- The follow up to Coma's split7" w/Born Dead Icons on our label
BHR. The brutal Swedes dish out four tracks of their metallic crustcore
onslaught. For fans of Entombed as well as Anti Cimex and From Ashes Rise.
I love this band. Long-running German hardcore outfit Autoritär hits
you straight in the face w/five tracks, including a splendid Bastard cover.
Solid shit!
Cockroach / Gride split (KAZ)
- Czech vs. Holland! Cockroach are wild'n'crazy euro thrash, kinda reminds
me of Sweden's Assel (RIP). Intense. Gride blaze it up with some ferocious
straight up grind core.
Combat Wounded Veteran / Scrotum Grinder split (Burrito)
- Psycho power violence circus, like a hammer in the head. CWV are fierce
grinding thrash, SG pretty much the same but w/female vocals. Awesome
packaging too. Both bands are broken up. Michelle (vocalist in SG) went
on to the excellent but short lived Memento Mori.
Caustic Christ / Rambo split (Busted Heads)
- Our own release and we're damn fukking proud of it! Two of the best
current USHC bands team up to take your face of. Old-school baby, old-school.
No stupid limited versions, all black vinyl that comes in a full color
sleeve courtesy of Mr. Mike Bukowski. See below for more records from
both bands. Also check out the Rambo album under LP and CD.
Cheerleaders Of The Apocalypse "Rock'N'Roll Self Destruction"
7" (Flowerviolence)
- Maybe you remember these crazy fukking krauts from their split w/Hokus.
If not, they whip it up in an insane fast, screaming, metallic, hardcore
way. Goes well w/Creation Is Crucifixion, Unruh, Suicide Nation, Converge
etc etc. Fukking killer Pushead-styled cover artwork as well.
Cheetah Crome Motherfuckers S/t (???)
- Bootleg of this old Italian classic. From the dusky past of the very
early 80's, CCMF's arise to tear ya a new asshole. Very raw hardcore thrash
w/that awesome Italian touch. Essential!
Caustic Christ / Intense Youth split (Behold the youthquake)
- Another teaser for an up-coming BHR release. If you have missed CC so
far you are an ass. Fast, heavy and really groovy old-school hardcore.
Think MDC, Poison Idea, COC, DRI etc etc. Fukking deadly guitar action
courtesy of Bill (React, The Pist, Scarred etc etc). Do yourself a favor
and check out their debut EP on Havoc as well (see below). Intense Youth
are in the same league of we-take-no-fukking-shit hardcore. Maybe a bit
more primitive, raw and thrashy but still ace. Cool as hell split.
Crucial Section / Face Up To It! split (Ratbone/Murder)
- CS are old-school Japanese bandana thrashers who love old UK shit like
Heresy, Ripcord, ENT etc etc. Crucial stuff! This is the debut record
from FU2I!, a new band from France. Killer postitive 80's thrashcore,
lots of moshing going on! Cover folds out into really cool skate poster
+ you get the "Crucial Tunes" thrashing mad cartoon. Pretty
silly but funky as hell.
Crowpath "Sep #17" (Scorched Earth Policy)
- This is the first 7" from the Swedish hi-tech math gods of destruction!
See below for more info.
Crowpath "Knives & sharpened scissors" 5" (Pillowscars)
- Really slick and tiny little vinyl w/cool packaging. These Swedes have
a raging math mix of Dillinger Escape Plan and Racebannon. All out metal,
should be on Relapse. Neat black/silver packaging.
Capitalist Casualties "Planned Community" 6" (Six Weeks)
- Veterans and originators of the whole West Coast PV thing. Cap Cas are
great as always, delivering solid balls-to-the-wall old-school hardcore.
Dedicated to suburban hardcore... nice.
Crispus Attucks "Yo Peho!" (Six Weeks)
- Thrashin' and very political and since skate thrash. This even beats
their LP, really catchy but still not wimpy. Slamin'!
Coalesce / The Get Up Kids split (2nd Nature)
- The kings of fukked up metalcore vs. the kings of wimpy emo. The cover
each other and everybody wins!
Corrupted / Cripple Bastards split (HG Fact)
- Italy's speed kings meet Japan's (the worlds?) slowest doom merchants.
This is the latest release from Corrupted. One song misery and darkness.
CB are Europe's premier grind core kings. 'Nuff said.
Charm "Hito" (Coalition)
- Yet another fukking supreme band from Japan! Extremely fast and chaotic
thrashcore, sooo fukking manic and intense. In the same league as Exclaim,
Jellyroll Rockheads, Razor's Edge etc etc. They also do the most fukked
up and crazy version of Negative Approach's "Pressure" that I have ever
heard. Thrash or be thrashed! One-sided yellow vinyl.
Crispus Attucks / De Nada split (Vendetta)
- CA are deadly and sick politikill hardcore from the states. Thick production,
sincere lyrics and a raging speed of fury. Long-gone De Nada deal in super
fast grind going into super heavy duty mosh parts. Thrashing it out hurricane
stylee!
Crucial Unit "Moshzilla" (De La Mente)
- Thraaash away bro's and sis's! Eleven songs of chaotic crossover mayhem
dressed in bandanas! Start the pit!
Capitalist Casualties / Stack split (Six Weeks/Dampfmachine)
- Re-stock of 90's classic big seller. Cap Cas are just plain fukking
awesome killer old-school violence like D.R.I. etc. Get all of their stuff!
Stack are German pv that just fukks up my brain, great!
Caustic Christ S/t (Havoc)
- Latest Havoc signing, from Pittsburgh. Feat. ex-members of Aus-Rotten,
React and The Pist, these guys fukking blew us away when we played w/them
on the last USA tour. Fast, pissed off early 80's USHC. Think COC, MDC
etc etc. Fukking corrosive shit, we love 'em! Look out for future Rambo/Caustic
Christ split on Busted Heads!
Crossing Chaos "Behind The Glamorous Face Of Our..." (Yellow Dog)
- Can you get enough Swedish d-beat raw fukking hardcorepunk?! Didn't
think so.. Seven deadly tracks filled w/Discharge-influenced crushk”ng.
Cluster Bomb Unit / Raagg split (Crimes Against Humanity/Rabid
Dog)
-Germany's CBU takes on Japan's Raagg, what a match! CBU are veterans
in the Euro scene, spreading their fast, filthy, crusty hardcore all over
the world. Very Swedish! If you like the 7" they did on Havoc you'll love
this. Raagg are brutal, headcleaning, distorted Japanese hardcore. Nice
looking vinyl too.
Cress "From Violence To Consumerism" (Flat Earth)
- An overcharged generator, the UK's Cress has added more power and heaviness
to their classic anarchopunk approach. Think a mix of Conflict, Cress,
Amebix, Axegrinder, Antisect w/a punch of Killing Joke. Great!
DSB "Battle into invisible zone" (Kangaroo)
- More quality Japanese hardcore. Fast'n'furious and done according to
the traditional japcore ways. Rockin'.
DSB "Pure cultivation" (Partners In Crime)
- Finally one of Japan's most talked about bands is released in the west.
Beefy Japcore done w/a respectful nod towards the countries traditional
school, but still with a modern touch of their own. The shit ya'll.
Damage Deposit "Do damage" (Havoc)
- Debut EP from the new band w/modern day hardcore guru Felix Von Havoc
(Destroy, Code 13, Havoc Rec's) on vox. If you liked Code 13 you'll go
gaga-gogo over this. Basically the same style but no crust and no attempts
at grinding. This is critical thrash w/sick breakdowns. Often compared
to DYS meets Tear It Up and Shark Attack and, of course, Code 13. Gotta
love that mans barking vocal stylee!
Dead Stop s/t (Wolfpack)
- Debut vinyl from this Dutch gang who have taken their name from an Negative
Approach-tune - guess how they sound? Ferocious old-school hardcore done
the 80's US way. Trippin'!
Doom "Police bastard" (PE)
- Such a classic, timeless piece of punk vinyl. Released back in 1989,
this crusty UK gang put heavy distortion and d-beat back on the international
DIY map. Crucial.
Down In Flames s/t (Platinum)
- The first ever release from now defunct New Jersey kids DIF. The six
songs here are more youth crew oriented than their later thrash stuff.
For the collectors, this is out of print.
Disidencia s/t (Thought Crime)
- Wow, step back kids! Really fukking good old-school hardcore from fukking
Uruguay. Good and powerful production fused w/catchy songs, fast beats
and killer hooks makes this 7" a winner. Try it.
Dead For A Minute / Submerge split (Abstract)
- Two bands sounding very very un-French. And that's a good thing. D4AM
are very much into later day Refused but with more violence and bloodshed
than pretentious artsy fartsy stuff. Interesting. Submerge are heavy and
fast destructometallichardcoregrindviolence. Not for the meek.
Day Of The Dead s/t (Goodwill)
- Portuguese fast and furious hardcore. 6 raw and powerful old-school
anthems kicking it US style. Think Bane meets crusty d-beat hardcore!!!
Damage Done / Day Of The Dead split (Goodwill)
- California vs. Portugal. Both bands are fast old-school hardcore. DD
(think Chain Of Strength, Judge etc) are somewhat more polished, DOTD
are rawer and punkier. Plus they bust out a Los Crudos cover!
D.S.-13 "For the kids, not the business" (Insect/Communichaos)
- The 2nd EP by my old band, released back in the glory days of 1998.
13 tracks of fast, terrorizing, hardcorethrashpunk. What more can I say?
Incl. a Reagan Youth cover. See below for more DS13.
Diallo "2nd EP" (Test Pattern)
- The 2nd 7" by this now defunct US band. See below for more info.
This kicks major ass. This 7" was apparently released by a really
dodgy label, so act fast if you want one.
Disfear s/t (Finn/Rodel)
- Official re-issue of this early 90's hard-to-get Swedish hardcore blaster.
This is their first ever release. Traditional Swedish d-beath hardcore
doesn't come much better than this.
Discard "Death from above" (Rodel)
- More old Swedish raw punk re-issued. This is an old Mob 47 sideproject.
Total dis-core and Discharge worship from the ol' 80's. Viva Sweden!
Diallo "Diagram Of A Scam" (Yellow Dog)
- First release from this now defunct US band. We just did a split7"
w/them and Artimus Pyle on BHR, so you know we love 'em. Immense heaviness,
d-beat, solid metal harmonies, plenty of headbanging material, dark and
gloomy riffs, strained and harsh vocals! Influenced by the likes of Bastard,
newer Swedish hardcore (Wolfbrigade, Victims etc), Neurosis, Talk Is Poison,
Artimus Pyle, From Ashes Rise etc. Fukking splendid. R.I.P.
Dragnet S/t (Deadalive)
- Six song debut 7" from this young, pissed off US hardcore band.
Fast beats, sick vocals and foot stomping breakdowns galore. Songs about
school, work, and just not giving a fuck. There's more youth angst here
than a fire sale at a Colorado trenchcoat outlet. Fuckin' great! Also
features more great cover art by Mike Bukowski (Tear It Up / ETA split
LP, Shark Attack 7", Down In Flames 7", etc.)
D.S.-13 "Thrash And Burn" 7" (Enslaved / Boy Useless)
- The much ill-fated 6" project, now re-pressed as a more sensible
7". Nine fast and fukked up thrash anthems that will make you cry
of joy and pain. Recorded at the same time as "For The Kids..."
7".
D.S.-13 "Aborted Teen generation" (Havoc)
- Classic Swedish hardcore. 13 tracks of US influenced madness. Debut
EP from 1997.
Discordance Axis / Capitalist Casualties split (Boot)
- New bootleg of this classic 90's split record. You should be familiar
with both bands. DA are fukked up, technical grind mayhem. Cap Cas are
just awesome old-school thrash DRI stylee.
Discordance Axis / Cosmic Hurse split (Boot)
- New bootleg of this 90's split record. DA are fukking ear terrorizing
as always, totalt smart grindcore mayhem. CH are less technical but still
brutal-as-fukk grindcore.
The Despised "Scourge of the south" (Knagaroo)
- Wow, a really nice surprised! Never head of these guys before but they
sure pound out some deadly old-school hardcore. Kinda like Spazm 151,
Poison Idea etc w/that hard, thick sound and fast songs that are totally
catchy. Recommended!
Dead Nation "Painless E.P." (Kangaroo)
- What can be said? Just plain ol' fukking ass kicking hardcore. Pre-Tear
It Up and all that shit. Or is it Tear It Up that's ex-Dead Nation? Who
knows and who cares, this piece of plastic just fukking shreds!!! The
best stuff they did besided the LP. This is the Euro press of the 7".
Eight tracks of pure pain and nihilism.
Deride "EP" (Kangaroo)
- A fukking must for lovers o traditional Japanese hardcore!!! Nothing
beats Flying V guitars and fast, chaotic beats from the land of the rising
sun. Fukking mayhem distortion and faaast japcore thrash. Gotta love it
baby!
Deadinthewater s/t (Winter/Thrash and burn)
- Darkness descends over the gloomy country of Finland! Heavy and melancholic
with tons of slick melodies, this is modern day hardcore at it's bets.
Dropdead / Totalitär split (Prank)
- The ultimate hardcore split! First life sign in ages from Dropdead,
Providence's presidents of aural destruction. Awesome as always. Totalit”r
show all new-comers that they indeed are the true knights of the Swedish
raw d-beat punk sound. Buy or die.
Destruccion / Sida split (Don't Belong/La Vida Es Un Mus/MRHC)
- 2 x Spanish bands going for the lo-fi, old-school approach. Think early
80's, studds, leather, d-beat, Anti Cimex, Wretched, Avskum, Mob 47 etc
etc. Rippin' shit!
Dumbstruck "If it ain't broke... don't fix it" (Deranged)
- Ex-Heresy blah blah blah and so on. Blistering fast-as-fukk UK HC thrash
from old folks who knows what's up. Gotta love it! Incl. covers of Posion
Idea + Deathwish. This is a North American press of a Euro 7" that
originally came out like 2 years ago.
Dissent "Sick Society" (Badman)
- Bastardized hardcore from fukking Canada asshole! Nihilistic and fast,
crunchy w/a dash of metal. Includes a cool Death Sentence cover.
Dispense "Nothing But The Truth" (Finn/Rodel)
- This is old, weird that there's still copies around. This 7" was released
back in '93 and is pre-Victims (Sweden's d-beat kings and Havoc recording
artists). So you know what you're getting here: Six tracks of blistering,
traditional Swedish hardcore. Faaast and plenty of d-beat and songs about
war. It's on Finn for fukks sake!
The Dead Ones "The Busted Heads E.P" 7"
- Our own release! 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! This is the 2nd press, red vinyl. Reviews
Dead End "Killing The Messenger" (Bridge/Underestimated/625)
- Ex-members of the extremely popular (now broken up) Swedish band Outlast.
And yes, you can tell... Fast old-school hardcore w/some melodies. Catchy
as hell. Check out their split7" w/Get Up & Go'ers as well.
The Dirty 30's "This Is Sick" (Social Napalm)
- Super pissed off, dual vocaled, political pro-animal rights US crust.
For fans of State Of Fear, Disrupt, ENT, Nausea etc etc. Sick dude! Green
vinyl.
Dawncore "We Are Young... So We Scream... Just To Feel Alive" (Capeet)
- Oh yeah baby, keep those double bass drum assaults coming my way! Fast,
totally evil metalcore done the ol' German way (Acme, M–rser etc etc).
These guys are from Hungary though. Recomended.
Dudman / S.S.P. split (SOA)
- Japan vs. Italy in a gigantic power violence fest! Faster than you'll
ever live to be, harsh grinding sonic abuse! Get some!
Disgusting Lies / Fact "No One Complains " splt (MCR)
- One Japanese and one Polish band team up to give you a severe beating.
Fact keep it traditional acording to the great scene in the east: Fast
and fast w/a lot of thrash. If you dig Gauze, you'll most likely dig this
shit. DL are more crusty w/a metalic sound and gruff-gruff vocals. Always
on the verge of grindcore, but they never break out into the all-out blast
beat war. Kinda reminds me of early Napalm Death without the grind parts.
Down In Flames "Start The Fucking Fire" (Coalition/Gloom)
-If you liked their split7" w/Tear It Up that we released on Busted Heads,
you will freak out over this. This is an earlier record but just as raging
as that split. This new breed of thrashy fukking US hardcore just blow
me away! Similar to Left For Dead etc but no metal and a lot of fukking
old-school thrash punk. Blue vinyl.
Devoid Of Faith "Slow Motion Enslavement" (Coalition)
- - Now defunct US harcore band that turned a lot of heads during the
90's. Barking Infest-vocals and very intense Agnostic Front-styled riffs.
Members later went on to John Brown's Army, The Oath, Monster X, Limp
Wrist. Essential for lovers of all USHC. Get it!
Explosion Sack "What's joke?! E.P." (Bronze Fist)
- Noisy and simple but yet effective hardcorepunk from Japan. Nice 70's
styled looks and bass action collides w/tearing distorted guitar riffs.
Solid.
Exclaim "Keep Things Evolving Positively" (Deranged)
- This is blazing, high-speed Japanese distorted thrash core that makes
you wanna skate and die. The title "No Skate No Thrash" should
give you a wink what this sounds like. Simply fukking awesome.
E.T.A "We Are The Attack" (Deranged)
- The latest (and final) release from Epileptic Terror Attack, my other
old broken-up combo. Eigth songs of high-energy, early 80's old-school
USHC. Incl. the future classic "I'm A Bore" + a bodacious cover
of The Dicks classic "Hate The Police". Less fukking vrövrens
than D.S.-13, more melodic (not wimpy!) in a west coast kinda way. This
is the North American version.
El Camino 53 "the octopus diary" (Answer)
- If you want this, I think you need to act fast. This is their 2nd and
latest EP, comes in a heavy plastic sleeve + on solid orange vinyl. You
get six tracks of furious Japanese rock'n'roll hardcorepunk. Killer.
Employer, Employee "Mother Spain & the wayfaring myth"
(Relapse)
- The band feat. the drummer of Severed Head Of State. This is Texas hardcore
alright, but not as straight forward and crusty as SHOS. EE is more chaotic,
noisy, manic, disruptive and metallic. Check it out!
86'd s/t (Communichaos)
- Rough and raw NYC punkfakkingrawk w/female vocals! You'll be singing
along to these hits in no time. Recommended. Cool artwork by Fly.
Etea s/t (Cries of pain)
- Killer modern day Japanese hardcore. Melodic, metallic, fast, catchy,
tons of slick guitar solos - for fans of Crude, Mustang, DSB etc etc.
This is a US vinyl press of their Japan only MCD, so catch it while you
can!
E-150 / Zanussi split (La Vida Es Un Mus/Don't Belong/Cruda Realidad)
- Latest release from E-150, one of the best existing Euro bands right
now! Blazing, fukked up, violent hardcore that will kill all ya'll! Zanussi
are not to be outdone, they go to battle w/sheer killing capacity deluxe.
Effiguy / Häväistys split (Whisper in darkness)
- Japan vs. Finland in a great metallic crusty d-beat war. Effiguy are
very much into Discharge but w/a more metal crunching edge. Crazy. Häväistys
are painful and agonizing super mega heavy crust. Damn.
Fucked Up "No Pasaran" (Deranged)
- Amazing debut from this Canadian band! This is superb punkfukkingrockhardcore
assholes! Catchy as hell, strong vocals, good political lyrics - just
fukking kick-ass all over! Buy or remain a loser!
Fucked Up "Police" (Deranged)
- The feel-good hit of the summer ya'll!! I love this Canadian bands way
of playing old-school hardcore w/an awesome rockvibe. Totally recommended.
2nd EP.
Fucked Up "Baiting the public" (Deranged)
- 3rd and latest EP from these Canadian rockers. More of the same fine
shit, another two hit songs to add to the Canadian rock history.
From Ashes Rise s/t (Partners In Crime)
- You know the deal kids: One of the US originators of the modern hardcore
sound that is currently sweeping the world like a metal-pumped plague.
Fast and dark and really fukking heavy, tons of gloom'n'doom and Scandi-meets-Japcore-vibes.
HHIG, Tragedy, Born Dead Icons, Diallo, Artimus Pyle blah blah blah bite
me.
4 Am Fatality "The agro-vated EP" (Villain)
- Unsuspected hit record from this new band. Well-played crunchy hardcore
that reminds me of mid-period Poison Idea meets early DRI meets early
MDC meets Infest
Or I dunno, it's good ok?! Marble vinyl.
Fucked Up "Police" (Deranged)
- The feel-good hit of the summer ya'll!! I love this Canadian bands way
of playing old-school hardcore w/an awesome rockvibe. Totally recommended.
Fear "Fuck Christmas" (Bootleg)
- Their notorious and rare anti-Christmas EP bootlegged for the masses.
Feat. the nihilistic classics "Now your dead", "I Love
livin in the city" and the frantic title track. Fear were legendary
80's fukk-ups, un-pc, violent, shady bastards. Essential if you are into
chaos and early west coast USHC. Good sound quality + comes w/an interview
w/Lee Ving. Price: 45 SEK / $7 / 6 Euro incl. air mail.
Fast Times "Where were you
" (Smorgasbord)
- Fast and catchy old-school US hardcore w/strong female vocals. Feat.
drummer boy Matt before he was in Tear It Up.
Flux Cored Wire "Actions Speak Louder That Words" (MCR)
- Traditional Japanese hardcore but recorded in 2000. These guys are fast,
thrashy, tight and totally mad! Think a mix of S.O.B, Gauze and even some
Poison Idea. A keeper!
Final Exit / Bludge split (TVG)
- FE (not to be confused w/Sweden's Final Exit) are legendary Japanese
noise grinders. Bludge are from Germany and are fukked up and brutal noise
grind as well. For fans of Arsedestroyer, Gore Beyond Necropsy etc. On
blue vinyl.
Facade Burned Black / 65 Filmshow "Halloween" split (Amendment)
- 2 x US bands teaming up to pay tribute to the almighty Misfits by covering
the timelsee epic "Halloween". Both do a good job by putting
their mark on the classic without butchering it. If you are into Misfits
(and who isn't?), this is a must.
Funeral "Cry Of State Desperation" (Funeral)
- Follow-up to their much aclaimed debut 12". This is a Tragedy sideproject
and it's total Discharge/Swedish d-beat worship. Six tracks of harsh,
striped down, back to the roots hardcore. Ace.
Fudge
/ Tosugeki Sensya split (625)
- 2 x Japan. What a deal! Two fukking brutal hardcore bands thrashin'
like fukked up bastards spitting blood and urine! Mosh hard!
Foodchain "Screaming for something" (Mangrove)
- High-speed thrash from Tokyo, hardcore city #1. Fast and screaming,
sure to satisfy every mosh junkie out there.
Fairfight "XXX" (Commitment)
- Dutch '88 duppla-duppla sXe hardcore, start that fukking mosh pit and
shave that head boy! X up or get out!
Feast Or Famine "Negative Reflections" (Battle Kry)
- Debut 7" from this new, crusty USHC band. Seven songs of chaotic, fast
mayhem. Equal doses Crust and old-school thrash. Sweet.
Forca Macabra S/t (Malarie)
- Very dark and gloomy Finnish punx longing for the deep rainforests of
Brazil. Yepp, this long-running band of maniac Scandinavians are doing
it the old-school South American way: Fast, chaotic, raw and w/plenty
of d-beat!
Fastard / Obsolete "Wretched split EP" (????)
- Fastard are super heavy and distorted, crusty grindcore from Finland.
Growling vocals from the depths of hades! Obsolete are more in the vein
of modern day USHC: dark and heavy but still fast and w/a strong d-beath
thing. Think Tragedy mixed w/Misery and Amebix + hints of Entombed. Bang
yr head!
Fairfuck s/t (Underestimated)
- US press of this awesome record. Remember DC back in the early 80's?
Well, we sure don't since we were like 3 years old back then. But this
Norwegian unit got the old-school sound down perfect to every last detail.
Fukking killer old-school snotty hardcorepunk! We played w/them back in
1999 and they scared us...
Firemark "The Wat They Run" (Bridge)
- Debut 7" from this new Swedish band feat. ex and current members of
Outlast and Nine. Rockin' and solid emocore w/some indie tendencies. Not
my style but it's cool that the kids are doing it.
The Go-Gorillas "The 7th way" (Knockout tapes)
- For all you surfers out there. This is the debut vinyl from the band
feat. guitarist Marcus (ex-ETA, Regulations). Four tracks of rough, instrumental
surf punk that will make you wanna catch that wave.
Greed "We Don't Need Your Big Business!" (State Grinder)
- Swedish crust team w/that classic dual female and male vocals sound.
Not too much Disrupt though, more fine thrash a'la Charles Bronson etc
etc. Recommended brutality!
Genocide SS "Iron Cross" 7" (RSR)
- New 7" from this long-running Nasum side-project. If you are into
old-school Swedish hardcore (Mob 47, Shitlickers, Anti Cimex etc) this
is the record for you. Total d-beat feast mixed w/some cool Motörhead-vibes.
And no, they are not nazis. They just have pretty bad taste. And now they
are on Relapse...
Greed / React split (Stategrinder/13th Floor)
- Greed has to be one of the most overlooked Swedish bands of the 90's!
Thrashy, fukked up crusty hardcore w/female and male dual vocals. Too
bad that they are no more, D.S.-13 used to play shows w/them a few years
back. React feat. guitar god Bill from Caustic Christ, The Pist + aprox
1000 more good old bands. This is beefy, heavy US crust w/female + male
dual vocals, done the traditional way. These two bands complement each
other very well on this split. They both play the same type of music,
but they each have their own distinctive sound.
Genetic Control "Suburban life" (Reagan Era HC)
- Really obscure but deadly old USHC, this time from bleeding Canada.
You know what it sounds like - it's on reagan Era! This is a bootleg of
course, but comes w/lyrics and all. Price: 40 SEK / 6 USD incl. postage.
Gritos De Alerta / Heresia split (Terror)
- 2 x Brazil hardcorepunk crews going head to head! GDA are chaotic as
shit, really fukking brutal crusty hardcore. Heresia is more traditional
Brazilian Discharge-influenced hardcore. Fukking waste that shit man!
Comes in slick and thick full color cover + on yellow vinyl.
Government Issue "Make An Effort" (Reflex)
- Official re-issue of GI's 2nd 7" from 1982. Classic DCHC that will never
fukking die. Essential. Price: 40 SEK / 6 USD incl. postage.
The Get Up & Go'ers / Dead End split (Ringside/Bridge/Euphony/Armed
With Anger)
- Dead End is ex-Outlast folks. You can tell, but this has a more melodic
approach than all-out thrash. Think Kid Dynamite, later Lifetime and Propagandhi
without the bad ska parts. The Get Up & Go'ers are still one of Swedens
better hardcore acts and they are still not getting nearly enough respect.
Fast and just slightly melodic w/smart lyrics, this is the shit baby.
Haymaker "Love The Music, Hate The Kids" (Deranged)
- Ex-members of Chokehold, Left For Dead, The Swarm etc etc gives you
awesome straight forward hardcore right in the face. Watch those teeth
man! The heaviness of Negative Approach and Infest w/the metallic edge
of Septic Death.
Haymaker "Fuck America" (Deranged)
- More of the same powerful ugly blows to the face from these Canadian
hoodlums. Still very comparable to Infest and Left For Dead. Four new
rippers and an Anthrax cover. Limited press of 500 only. It's now or never...
Featuring members of Chokehold, Left For Dead, The Swarm + the Cursed.
Hero Dishonest s/t (Enslaved)
- Finnish punk bastards who instead of wimping out, seem to get dirtier
and nastier for every release. Raw and unpolished fast hardcore, go Finland!!!
Haymaker / Oxbaker split (Deep Six)
- See below for description of HM. Here's another 6 tracks of full on
hate. Oxbaker are also from Canada and give you even more hate, if possible.
Furous hardcore, not for the weak.
Hated Principles / Irritate split (Hostile Regression)
- Hp are US lo-fie 80's retro hardcore. Fast and chaotic, reminds me a
lot of Neos. Ohps, they do a Neos cover + a DRI one as well. Should've
guessed! Irritate are from Finland. They deliver some brutal heavy grooves
w/elements of grind, sludge, hardcore and detah metal. Fokking hell!
Holokaust s/t (After the bomb)
- Californian hardcorepunk in the vein of Varukers, Discharged, Antisect,
Crucifix. Intense peace punk w/a charged, driving beat and a cool raw
production.
Hisataka "Dirty dog" (Answer)
- How can you not like a band with a song called "Fuck roll"?!
7 tracks of high-speed, distorted, very chaotic Japanese hardcore w/an
old-school USHC thing. Noisy guitar work deluxe!
Human Waste "I väntan på socialbidraget" (Stategrinder)
- Latest 7" from this very productive Swedish raw punk band. Very
traditional in the vein of Skitsystem/Asocial/Avskum etc but all quality
shit! Distort!
Hewhocorrupts / Third Degree split (Self made god)
- Severely brutal USA vs. Poland split. HWC is ex-Kungfu Rick members
playing fast and destructive grind/hardcore, like a mix between Discordance
Axis and Assuck. TD are crustier but still punishing! Fast and brutal
grinding thrash/crust in the vein of Disrupt.
Henry FiatsSore "Patmos or bust" (Wrench)
- The bad boys of the Swedish scene! Super energetic, fast, raw, down'n'dirty,
fuck you rock'n'roll w/a nasty hardcore edge. Think early Dwarves, Zeke,
Ramones on too much speed etc. The last time they played Umeå there
was violence and chaos galore on stage. This is a new UK released 7",
and like most of their shit I am guessing it's very lmt and will sell
out fast. They have actually never sounded this good, to be honest. I
love 'em!
Hot Cross / Light The Fuse & Run split (Level Plane)
- 2 new songs from HC, feat. members from You And I, Saetia, Joshua Fit
For Battle. Chaotic, energetic hardcore with a modern approach. LTF&R
provide 2 songs as well. Totally intense rockish high-energy hardcore
al'a Torches To Rome, Fuel or Bread & Circuits.
Hero Dishonest / Rebound split (Combat Rock/If Society/7 Ply)
- Two of Finland's finest contemporary hardcore bands team up for a damn
cool split. Rebound are old-school youth crew style without being stupid
jocks. Reminds me of Swedish heroes Outlast and Section 8. Same goes for
Hero Dishonest, but they are way rawer and punkier and USHC sounding.
Check it out.
Heartwork s/t (Dewa)
- Killer EP from this cool Japanese hardcore band. Fast and melodic, for
fans of Mustang, Crude etc etc. A keeper for sure.
Holier Than Thou? s/t (Six Weeks)
- They have a skateboarding zombie w/ a mohawk on the cover... Pretty
much sums it up. Four songs of mid-80's styled crossover US HC. Very slick
and constantly on the border of thrash metal. Think Wehrmacht, Cryptic
Slaughter, later D.R.I. Do I need to say I love this?!
Hibernation "Loneliness" (Power It Up)
- Raging powerfull hardcorecrust mixed w/triumphant metal god power. They
go straight for the genres glorious roots: Amebix, Axegrinder, Bolt Thrower
etc etc. Heavy as shit.
Hangnaill "Nightmare in Painsville" (Hibachi)
- Over-the-top distorted thrash mayhem from the same city that gave us
Gordon Solie Motherfuckers. Hysterical chaos punx never die!
Human Waste "FrÂn generation till generation" (New Noise/Halvfabrikat)
- Latest and best offering from this Swedish power house. Full-on, crusty
hardcore assault the Skitsystem scandicore way. Intense!
Hate Mail Killerz / Dystrophy split (Crucial)
- Two crushing US West Coast bands captured live in the raw. Good sound
and sooo much thrashin it's unreal! Watch out for HMK split w/Swedish
Bruce Banner.
Hated Youth "Hardcore Rules"(Burrito)
- An official re-issue of this excellent old Florida band. This was recorded
in like -83 or something, back when old-school wasn't old, and you can
tell. Fast and short to the point USHC. Blazing! These guys should've
been huge... One of those "Killed By Death" type bands.
H100's "Dismantle EP" (Coalition)
- Pre-9 Shocks Terror. Cleveland's best blast out crucial early 80's style
raw thrash. The singer is a teenage kid with a really snotty voice! Japanese
styled hardcore mixed w/Poison Idea styled USHC. Fukking great. This kills
me... Blue vinyl.
Health Hazard/Sawn Off "On A Path To No Tomorrow/Songs Of Praise"
(Flath Earth)
- A brilliant 7" w/two classic UK bands from the early 90's. HH is a female
fronted crusty combo doing devastating dirty deeds. SO are so brutal it's
ridicolous, killer fast crusty grind hardcore. We have discographys from
both bands in the CD section. If you don't have the guts to go straight
for that, this split is a good start.
Hellchild / Gomorrha split (Per Koro/Bastardized)
- Japan vs. Germania. This split is very metal, so all you narrow minded
punx - stay away! Both bands deal in rough gruff-gruff vocals, double
bass drum action and really fukking heavy brutal guitars. I would say
that this is death metal and not hardcore at all. Still fukking raging
though. Bang your heads! Really slick cover too.
Head Hits Concrete s/t (Sound Of Betrayal)
- 15 songs on this little motherfukker. Distorted, screaching pv/grindcore
that will blow your speakers to hell.
Human Waste "I Skuggan Av Erat Sverige" (New Noise/Contempt)
- For those of you who can't wait for the new Skitsystem rcord. Devestating
Scandicrust that will put that d-beat right up your arse. Sometimes the
vocals remind me of Final Exit (SWE) and that isn't bad at all. Green
vinyl.
Harmony As One "Stranged In Your Own Land" (Short Fuse)
- This criminally underrated UK band did 2 x 12"s in the late 80's/early
90's. This 7" is a new release though w/3 previously unreleased tunes.
Very very very powerfull musc! Brutal hatecore, kinda like Infest meets
Napalm Death. members went on to form Scalplock. Lmt ed. of 500 on white
vinyl. Get it, it fukking smokes! Comes w/stickers.
Illdåd "Nemo" (SOB)
- Raging and pissed off Swedish clusterfukked crustcore, super fast and
distorted. Evil and heavy! It's all about taking tjack and supa.
Ink & Dagger "Drive this 7" wooden stake
"
(Initial)
- Very popular Philly band in the mid 90's. Kinda emo-ish but still hardcore,
screaming and pounding beats. On red vinyl.
Integrity / Psywarfare split7" (Victory)
- Cool looking picture vinyl. This is Integrity when they were actually
a great band. Hard and violent hate core, gotta love 'em. Psywarfare was
Dwid Integrity's solo project. Total noise, for fans of Merzbow, Bastard
Noise etc. Out of print. Price:
45 SEK / $7 / 6 Euro incl. air mail.
Idol
Punch "Culture Market" (MCR)
- Hysterical Japanese hardcore for the masses! Fast and distorted but
still w/a strong rock edge. Fokking great!
Imperial Leather "Excuses for future fuck-up" (Instigate)
- Finally a debut record from Stockholm's super project #1. Feat. past
and present members of Monster, Varukers, Meanwhile, No Security, Burning
Kitchen, Skeletor etc etc. Swinging as fukk punkfakkingrock straight from
the streets w/female vs. male vocals. Deadly live act.
Intensity / Antichirst split (Trujaca Fala)
- Latest release from Sweden's old-school heroes Intentisty. Fast and
beefy, tight and straight to the point. Very NYHC without being moronic.
Cool fukkerz w/sincere and political lyrics. The Polish Antichrist are
crazier and more metal with piercing vocals. Very neo-käng.
The Insults "Thrasher go home" (Reagan Era HC)
- Really obscure but deadly old USHC. Recorded in 1985, this EP still
holds it's own. Fast and thrashy, what more do you want?! This is a bootleg
of course, but comes w/lyrics and all. Price: 40 SEK / 6 USD incl.
postage.
I Quit! "Old, miserable bums" (625)
- Their 2nd EP, the follow up to the one on our label. Still the same
fukking excellent weird mix of No Comment, DK's, Raped Teenagers, Faith,
Void, grind etc etc. Amazing! This one got rave fukking reviews in MRR
so check it out! Feat. members from Sayyadina.
Inepsy "See you in hell" (Some secret label...)
- D-beat and rock'n'roll fusion from Canada. Discharge, Mot–rhead and
Venom in a gloriously unholy fusion. Bullet belts and skulls rock!
Intensity "Virtue of progress" (Six Weeks)
- 7 slabs of old-school from one of Swedens most popular bands. No jocks,
no crews, no bullshit - just fast and political hardcorepunk! Will blow
a hole in your roof! Songs in Swedish, English and Spanish! Blimey!
Infect "Estrepito" (Commitment)
- That's XINFECTX to you mister! All female, vegan sXe fastcore assault
from fukking Brazil. I think this band is fukking deadly and I wish that
we'd got to release them first here in Europe... Well, you can't win them
all!
In Ruins Of s/t (Black Star Foundation)
- Debut record from this new Swedish band w/ex-members of this and ex-members
of that. Amazing fast and chaotic hardcorepunk w/a slight Swedish metal
edge. Worth your time baby.
Instinct Of Survival S/t (Yellow Dog)
- Look at the band name and then guess what they sound like... Yepp, Napalm
fukking Death! These Germans dish out 18 slabs of killing old-school grindcore.
Remember back in the days when grind was punnk and not metal? Damn right,
this is it. I love the lyrics tol the song "Floorpunch": "Die".
JR Ewing "Integritas" (Dance of days)
- Debut release (and very much out of print) from these now very hot and
big Norwegian rockers. On clear vinyl none the less.
The Jam Session / The Kinectic Crash Cooperation split (Crucificados
Pelo Sistema)
- Long-running Swedish kings of depression strike back w/a new release!
TJM are reminiscents to older Songs of Zarathustra stuff but much faster
and more chaotic. Emo violence w/a touch of classic Swedish hardcore,
can it be?! TKCC offers twisted and spastic chaosgrind, like The Blood
Brothers on 70 rpm meets The Crimson Curse and celebrate a party with
members of Combat Wounded Veteran. Cool solid white vinyl.
Jilted
"Follia Omicida" (Angry)
- More superb Italian hardcore! Straight to the point both w/politics
and their fast music. These guys don't fukk around!
James River Scratch S/t (Beer City)
- Simple but highly effective US hardcorepunk. Catchy and cool!
Jellyroll Rockheads "Intense And Mild EP" (625)
- Kenji of Razor's Edge side band. Even though I prefer RE, JR are still
fukking amazing Japanese thrashcore. It's fast, it's so intense it will
kill your speakers, it's about smoking pot, it's about hating the disco's...
what more do you want you spoiled brat?! Price: 40kr / 6 U$D ppd
Jellyroll Rockheads / Exclaim "Never Trust EP" Split (625)
- See above for JR. Here they go more for some catchy, tamborine shaking
punk rock that sounds like 60s garage punk! Still, it IS hardcore without
a doubt. If you haven't heard Exclaim you are missing out on one of the
best current hardcore bands in Japan. They are so raw and unpolished that
it's almost noise! You gotta hear it to believe it. They do covers of
each others, cool!
Price: 40kr / 6 U$D ppd
Juggling Jugulars / Inner Conflict "Seven Inches Of ..." Split
(Twisted Chords)
- Finland vs. Germany, a really fukking cool split. Both bands play fast,
melodic, energetic hardcore w/female vocals but they each have their own
style. Really sweet hardcore, politcal and asskicking!
Jean Seberg s/t (Rat Bone/Murder)
- One of the finest blasts of euro violence in recent years. Total french
power violence grinding carnage, can u dig it?! Extremely nice thick vinyl.
Knucklehead "Gouo" (MCR)
- Sapporo City hardcore revenge! Strongly influenced by traditional Japanese
hardcore, this gang adopt much more alternative factors, creating their
one and only original style with screams of anger, anxiety, mind disturbance
etc. "Gouo" is the first release by new & reborn Knucklehead.
Raging!
Knifed / Bastard Youth split (Control/Direct Hit)
- 2 x Ireland thrash assault. Both are fast and distorted w/screaming,
furious vocals. Knifed reminds me a lot of Los Crudos, but tighter and
faster. They are actually doing a split7" w/Limp Wrist (R.I.P.) in
the near future.
Kill The Man Who Questions/Del Cielo (Ed Walters)
- Final release from KTMWQ (rip), one my personal favorites of the late
90's. 3 killer tunes of fast, political USHC. The fukking champs. DC are
well, very pop. Let's just leave it at that.
Konfrontation / Slicks "High flying plans" split (Not
enough records)
- K. are absolutely bonecrushing, super fast Swedish crusty hardcore.
Songs about nuclear war and the cold war, do you need to know anything
else? Slicks are also a punk gang from Sweden but waaay more rock'n'roll
than hardcore. They are rad as shit and come of as a mix of Gluecifer,
Spazm 151 and Posion Idea!!! Cool!
Kaaos "Nuke" (Havoc)
- More Finnish re-issues from our friend Havoc. Kaaos was one of the best
Scandinavian bands back in the day, they had a pretty unique and aggressive
style of hardcore. Feat. members of Riistetyt, Bastards, Varaus, Protesti,

Kalibas "Eyes Forever Red" (Howling Bull)
- Twisted thrash/grind malovalence. Deadly and intense, this is the sound
a bitter soul makes as it explodes. They deal out an ultra-intense technical
blend of violence along the lines of Creation Is Crucifiction, As The
Sun Sets and Cryptopsy. Feel the knife pierce you intensely...
Left In Ruins "Fertilizing the soil" (PFC)
- Ulstra fast Swedish grind w/insane guitar playing. Tight, well-produced
and over the top craaaazy. What more could you possibly want?!
Let It Burn "Hello good friend" (Coalition)

Lana Dagales S/t (SOB)
- Euro re-issue of this out-of-print US 7". Just distorted-to-fukk bass,
drums and gut-wrenching vocals. Slow, fast, slow, fast... Guess you would
call it some mean ass west coast power violence. Brrruuutal!
The Local Oafs / The Manikins "The Brutal Rape Of Kaj Sivervik"
split (Cage Match)
- Yes, The Local Oafs are back! The band that wrote "If You Call My Town
Fukk Town I'll Call You Motherfucker, Motherfucker" about D.S.-13, gives
you another seven blasts of lo-fi hardcore attitude. This is a pure anti-social,
FTW statement put on vinyl. The Manikins are like The Hives on more drugs

- German politikill fastcore destruction feat. members of the mighty Stack.
On wicked color vinyl.
Mensen "Stand up for yourself" (Wrench)

kick-ass rock'n'roll band that will make your head spin like crazy! Punkrock
rules! Feat. a righteous Dead Moon cover.
More Noise For Life "Thrash mosh EP" (Blurred)
- Read the band name + title and figure out how this sounds Einstein...
From Japan, of course!
M:Pati "Råpunk" (Bim)

new tracks of classic Swedish hardcore, buy or die! Feat. members from

a shame! Six songs of thraaash mayhem. They were on the "Histeria" LP
comp together w/us.

there?! Over the top and fukked up crossover thrashcore done the Japanese

- Our own release. Official 2nd press of their self-titled debut record,
originally released in only 300 copies on Amendment Records last year.

thrashed!
My Own Lies / Wilbur Cobb split5" (Flowerviolence/Scene Police)
- More fukking crazy Germans, this time on a tiny 5" vinyl! Faastcore
heaven! MOL = Mannheim speed kings, WC = Charles Bronson style from K–ln.
Both are short, aggressive, fast and furious hardcore w/screaming vocals
and breaks all the frigging time. See further down + above for MOL's splits
w/Assel and Houses In Texas.
Monster X / Human Greed split (Hater Of God)
- Brutal split dude. Monster X are long gone but they sure fukked shit
up when they were around. Devestating sXe grind death, members went on
to be in Dropdead. Human Greed are from Canada and have a more Canadian
(Uranus, HHIG) approach to their brutality.
Man In Shackles / Sewn Shut Split (Sounds Of Betrayal)
- MIS is one of Sweden's most ignored bands! Tight and fast as hell hardcore
that would crush Infest and maybe even the mighty No Comment. All hail!
SS is a sideproject of Rodrigo (Intensity / Satanic Surfers / Putrid Filth
Rec's / Everyday Madness etc etc). Very good Napalm Death / Carcass-styled
grindcore! Clean yet brutal production w/ good tunes to match.
My Own Lies / Houses In Texas split (Flowerviolence)

the way only crazy Germans can do it. HOT have a crap name but are brutal

The Now-Denial/Highscore "Hope vs. disillusion pt.2 " split7"
(Repulsive Force)
- Second benefit EP (first was Seein Red/Now-Denial, see below) for imprisoned
protesters, this time it's for the Gothenburg demonstrators. German darkcore
thugs The Now-Denial Will satisfy everyone into Poison Idea, political
lyrics, Tragedy and From Ashes Rise. Highscore are Germany's smartest
youth crew kids. Always on the fukking ball. Cover folds out into cool
poster.
No Side "Comp 95-98" (ACME)
- A collection of hard-to-find comp tracks previously only available in
Japan. 5 tracks of furious, incredible Japanese hardcore that will burn
your flesh off. One of the best, most purest hardcore forces on the planet
today!
Noise Pollution / Protess split (MCR)
- Ireland vs. Japan. NP are very raw, in-your-face crustcore w/some grind
elements. Distorted to the max! Protess is a female fronted anarcho punk
crew, seriously ill shit! Fat, fast, crushing - ace!
The Neighbors "The More Money One Has The More Important Is
One's Life" (Kangaroo)
- I cry because we never got to play with these guys before they broke
up. From San Diego, these fellas thrash it out with the best. Fourteen
(!) songs so you know it's good... Super fast hardcorepunk like Poison
Idea on tripple doses of speed. Great!
Nasum / Abstain split (Yellow Dog)
- Nasum are Sweden's most well-known and respected grind bans. They never
fail to deliever the brutal goods of doom! US veterans Abstain are not
outdone though, fukking devestating grind mayhem! Fat. their hit "Terrorizer".
This is a bit old by now but still deadly, just like nuclear waste.
No Parade s/t (Partners In Crime)
- Yet another project from the whole From Ashes Rise/Deathreat/Tragedy/Funeral
mess of members. For fans of the above mentioned bands, this is a must.
You won't be disappointed by this baby. Very dark, fast and screaming
hardcore w/a slight d-beat raw punk feel to it. Not as metallic as From
Ashes Rise etc, this has more the old-school punk vibe of Deathreat. Awesome.
Price: 40kr / 6 U$D ppd
Nailed Down "Might is right" (Power it up)
- Deadly power drill brutality from down under = Australia. A massive
wall of distortion, d-beatand hatefilled vengeance. Heavy as shit.
Nine Shocks Terror "Mobile Terror Unit" (Havoc)
- One of my current favourite bands and good friends of D.S.-13. This
doesn't beat their first LP, but it still fukking shreds my ass every
time. They are old-school hardcore, make no mistake, but they have a fukking
gorgeous rock'n'roll groove going on. This chaos unit is a perfect mix
of old Japanese hardcore (Gauze, Lip Cream, The Stalin) and old USHC classics
like DRI, Siege and Articles Of Faith. And their live show... wow, step
back kid! Just get this ok, it's fukking top notch thrash!
No Contest "Where Do We Go From Here?" (Mad At The World)
- Originally released on Slaughterhouse Records (Dead Nations old label)
a few years back, this piece of blistering hardcore never got the attention
it deserved. Catchy and melodic hardcorepunk but still hard enough to
kick that circle pit into action. Very nice guitar work. 1,2,3 - fukking
GO!!!!
No Justice "Still Fighting" (Underestimated)
- Honest, aggressive youth crew from the states w/a slight influence from
the good ol' 81/82 hardcore days mixed w/some straight up punkrock. Well
known for their energetic live shows, they quickly became one of the most
talked about bands in USHC. Hardcorepunk straight in your face mother
fukker!
Our War "Traditions demo" (Deranged)
- Canadian sxe warriors return w/a demo 7". Heavy old school hardcore
without venturing into metal territory, somewhat like early Sick of it
All or Judge with higher-pitched vocal shouts and more of a bitter, sarcastic,
pissed off sense of attitude. Lmt. press of 500.
Otophobia / Reason Of Insanity split (Burrito)
- Death-stabbing vicious hardcore attack courtesy of Philadelphia's Otophobia.
The kids who liked their EP on Sweden's SOB should enjoy this. ROI are
beer-drinking hellraisers dishing out a solid fast-paced punk assault
w/some Japcore-vibes. Check it out. On marble vinyl.
Otophobia "Source of confusion" (Burrito)
- Their first EP, the most violent of them all! Super distorted chaos
to the max. They sure give that Void-cover a severe beating. See below
for more Otophobia craze.
Ohm "The black river" (Release the bats)
- Swedish instrumental four-piece featuring two members from the Jam Session.
Self described as "timeless electronica". Think heavy progressive
rock from the 70´s intersecting with modern electronica. A bit like
the soundtrack to a fantasy movie from the 80´s. Goblin comes to
mind at times. The result of these 3 songs are truly amazing. Comes on
nifty color wax.
Out Cold / No Side split (ACME)
- US vs. Japan. Out Cold are as good as always w/their fast straight-to-the-point
Boston styled hardcore. No Side strike back w/"3 trax hated true
sounds". Both bands on this vinyl shreds, buy now!
The Oath "Trans Atlantic Thrash Terror" (Coalition)
- Re-stock of this old big seller. One of the strongest acts to come from
the US in recent time. Wicked thrashcore/power violence w/ex-members of
Monster X/Charles Bronson/Devoid Of Faith/Mainstrike. Yadda yadda, hype
hype.
Ohuzaro / Cyness split (Thought Crime)
- Italy vs. Germany, who will survive and what will be left of them?!
Berlins Cyness are brutal, deathlike grindfukkingcore. Not super technical
but still w/some pretty mean riffing. Italy's old-school warriors Ohuzaro
are just as fine as on their first 7". They deserve your attention.
Also check out their 5" below.
Out Of Touch "Grass roots" (Blurred)
- Back to the roots traditional Japanese hardcore, packed w/cool Black
Flag-ish guitar leads. Cool debut from this new band!
Ohuzaro "Thrash is business" 5" (Sly Actions/Heroine/Wee
Wee)
- Latest offering from the Italian thrash godz, and a fukking tiny 5"
as well! Blimey! Four tracks of mosh pit craziness, including a, S.O.D.
cover. Awesome cover as well. Stage dive to hell!
Offenders "We Must Rebel" (Reagan Era HC)
- Bootleg 7" of this seminal old Texas bands first 12"... I think! Anyway,
this shit rips your head of! Early 80's USHC, what can go wrong?! Faaast
and relentless! For fans of MDC, DK's and everything else that's early
80's and American. Price: 45 SEK / $7 / 6 Euro incl. air mail.
Offensive "Human machine" (FRR/Falafel Media)
- Debut 7" from this Swedish crust platoon. Aggressive, distorted, heavy,
political. These guys'n'girls kick some serious ass! For kids into HUman
Waste, Skitsystem etc. Incl. a Krigshot cover.
Oddball "Sell out EP" (Mangrove)
- Japanese hardcore warriors into coke and USHC! Rocking hardcorepunk
similar to Circle Jerks, Gang Green, Suicidal Tendencies, Adrenaline O.D.
etc etc. Snooort!
Oi Polloi S/t (Nikt Nic Nie Wie)
- You know these Scottish blokes by now. Supreme anarcho punk heroes!
4 tracks incl. the classic "Victims of a gas attack".
Oxbaker "Raped Ox" (SOB)
- These Canadians hate the world but love wrestling. Fukking furious,
scorned hardcore thrash. Not for the weak. Cool Anti Cimex spoof cover.
Otophobia S/t (SOB)
- Heavily distorted crusty hardcore that will make your heart into a black,
charred little hole. Even more brutal and vicious than their first 7".
Get this!
Oheisvasara "Pilaat Humoisen Jo T”n””n" (Winter)
- Wow. These Finnish punx take no prisoners. Fast and rockin' anarchopunkcore
w/dual female and male vocals. Good production, tight and cool guitar
work. A keeper!
Onward To Mayhem "Six Acts In The Arts Of Social Defiance" (Insubordination)
- Minneapolis hardcore on the rise! Fast and unrelenting, these spikey
punx come across as a weird mix between D.R.I., Defiance and that special
UK '82 sound. Killer. Orange vinyl.
Path Of Destruction "1:00 AM" (Havoc)
- Minneapolis hardcore crust punk at it's most tough and brutal w/the
most punk as fuck vocal delivery. The main influence here is Poison Idea
and when you spin this sucker you will "Feel the Darkness".
But it's hard to really nail these guys down as punk, hardcore or crust
since their style really draws on elements prevalent in all three subgenres
for maximum impact. Crucial.
Path Of Destruction S/t (Sin Fronteras)
- Their first EP. Fast, blazing old-school hardcore w/cool guitar solos.
Distorted, chaos mayhem fukked up dude! For fans of Poison Idea, NA, Necros,
Plague etc etc.
Paluka "Mutual interest EP" (Too Circle)
- Very noisy and vibrating Japanese hardcorepunk. Think The Futures meeting
Minutemen, Big Boys, DK's and the Dicks. Takes some time to get into but
worth it.
Protesti "8 Track EP" (Havoc)
- Protesti was around during the heyday of Finnish Thrash in the early
80's. This was a sideproject of members of Kaaos and Bastards. This is
super aggressive hardcore thrash from 1983, very chaotic and Finnish!
Project Hopeless "Utsatt" (Not enough records)
- 2nd EP from this crazy Swedish outfit. 10 tracks of really fukked up
and fast traditional Swedish hardcore. If you like Mob 47, you'll drool
over this bunch.
Pointing Finger "Reasons, not rules" (Still Holding On)
- With a name like this, what do you think they sound? Yup, fast sXe hardcore
w/lots of sing-a-long breakdowns mixed w/plenty of fast parts. Think New
York, think 1988, think GB, YOT, Bold etc. From Portugal, this 7"
will fukk up any pit.
Police Line "Qualioty of life EP" (Too Circle)
- 2nd EP (Japanese only release) from this USHC band w/Limp Wrist members.
Fast old-school witout being cheesy. Good hooks and niffty breakdowns!
Punch In The Face "Chicago" (Lengua Armada)
- Debut 7" from this new Chicago band, feat. ex-members of Dearborn SS,
MK Ultra, Ruination, Los Crudos, Charles Bronson + probably a ton more.
Ten tracks, all packing a mean punch. Think Poison Idea, Slapshot, Negative
FX etc etc.
People's War "Making Enemies EP" (Coalition)
- New yankee act on Coalition. We played w/them in the states and they
ripped. Fast and political but still heavy hardcore w/a dark HHIG vivbe.
Comes w/fat booklet w/lyrics and a nice poster. Check it out kids.
Pax Americana / Mädels No Mädels split (Brew/Bellaforte)
- PA are fukking weird... Fast, early 80's styled bassheavy USHC w/a crazy
saxophone! Fukking mad! Like a really fast X-Ray Spex w/male vocals (Finnish
lyrics). Check it out, I actually like it quite a lot. MNM are more streetpunky,
catchy and kinda garagerocking. Total retro stylee, cool!
Police Bastard "Cursed Earth EP" (Twisted Chords)
- These British blokes took me w/total surprise! Easily one of the best
7"s at the moment. Crusty, heavy, dark, metalized hardcore but not at
all tiered and boring. Like a mix of Sepultura, Tragedy and Doom! Plus
they do one of THE best Slayer covers I have ever heard. Highly recommended.
Go for it kids!
Rat Piss S/t (Dropped at birth)
- Australian released debut from these young US thrashers. Bouncy old
80's hardcorepunk, straight forward and fast without being over-the-top
speed. Good melodies and the perfect kinda vocals for this type of hardcore.
Reagan SS "Hail the new dawn" (625)
- Last EP from this LA outfit of old punk gits. This vinyl brings back
the old-school in a really harsh way. Reagan, distortion, violence, hate.
Good.
Randy "Cheater" (BHR)
- Our own release, 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.
Razors Edge "Thrsh March EP" (BHR)
- Our own release, a 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.
Red Reaction S/t (Coalition)
- New five song 7" from this Western Mass band that blew me away
w/their "Enter the warzone" CD last year. This new EP takes
RR's music a step further resulting in a mix of influences from classic
80's hardcore bands such as Straight Ahead and Negative Approach with
slower darker parts. A superb sound does the rest and gives a dark feeling
to the songs adding up to the nihilism of the lyrics. Recommended. Yellow
vinyl.
Rammer s/t (Deranged)
- Deranged goes metal! Canada's Rammer is total At The Gates/Merciless
thrash/death metal worship. Really catchy and well-played heaviness!
Rancid Hell Spawn "Teenage lard" (Wrench)
- Weird, fukked up and chaotic rock'n'roll noise. Very distorted and psychotic,
reminds me of good ol' Butthole Surfers madness.
Ruido / Insult split (Know)
. Do I even need to introduce Ruido?! They are quickly becoming one of
the most productive bands in the scene, seems like there is a new release
every other month. As always, they rip shit up. Insult are not very pc,
but still very good Infest styled fastcore.
R'N'R "I've had it"/"Your rules" (Deadalive)
- Latest hype in the USHC world. Turbonegro goes hardcore? Tear It Up
learns to play their instruments? It's punk, it's groovy, it's true to
the core. This is the 2nd press on Deadalive.
RAMBO / Crucial Unit split ( Ed Walters)
- 2 x USHC attack. Rambo are killer as always, these tracks are a bit
more metallic but still cool as shit. Watch out for Rambo/Caustic Christ
split on Busted Heads! CU are total speed ass fukk. Get this.
The Rites "Your last rites EP" (Deadalive)
- The new 7 song 7" of fast, in-your-face hardcore from members of Tear
It Up and Down In Flames has arrived. Similiar to both bands, early 80's
US influenced hardcore, but with a bit of a harder sound and more of an
"I Hate You" than "I Hate Myself" attitude. Thrown on your copy of Poison
Idea's "Pick Your King" E.P. for a reference point. All things aside,
this EP fukking shreds. Cover art by Ernie from Life's Halt.
Ruido / Sick Terror split (Sin Fronteras)
- Thrash or be thrashed! The Ruido side was originally released as their
first EP, a split w/Tezacrifico, back in 1997 and that one is way out
of print mate. See below for infor on these LA fukks. Sick Terror are
just plain sick terror thrashcore from Brazil. Punishing!
Ruido "Live, 9.27.00 @ KXLU Radio L.A." (Power it up)
- 8 fukking hard hitting intense attacks recorded live for radio. Hard-hitting
L.A. thrashcore legends!
Raise Cain "Bootleg" (Sound Pollution)
- Killer Japanese hardcore done the traditonal way. Totally recommended.
Robot Has Werewolf Hands "The love and destruction EP" (Solomon
Method)
- Well-produced and kick-ass hardcore from USA. Fast w/heavy breakdowns
and female/male vocals. A slick and brutal mix of Dropdead and Kill The
Man Who Quetions.
Reduction "Social disorder" (Mangrove)
- 4 tracks EP from Japan. Distorted, heavy and brutal crusty hardcore.
SDS stylee, great!
Rabid Grannies "Inte ditt problem" (Cage Match Federation)
- Debut 7" from this new young Ume hardcore band. Fast and heavy w/some
killer d-beats going on. Cool mix of traditional Swedish k”ng and US thrash
w/lyrics both in Swedish and English. If you enjoy DS13 and Code 13, you
should check this out.
Ready To Fight S/t (Cadmium Sick)
- US band that owes a lot to (surprise, surprise) Negative Approach and
other cool bands from that era. Gnarly vocals and catchy sing-a-long choruses,
sick shit!
Reagan SS / John Browns Army split (Coalition)
- Yes yes, more 80's styled hardcore about the despot Ronald Reagan! RSS
are cool as hell old man thrash from the states. Screaming and raw! JBA
feat. Nate from Devoid Of Faith/The Oath and are more in the"hit 'em fast
and hard" genre. Remember their split w/Curtain Rail? This is more of
the same fine fastcore shit. This is a euro press. Orange vinyl.
Riistetyt "Terventuloa Kuolema" (Havoc)
- One of the great Finnish hardcore bands of the 80's returns. No weak
rehash here, really heavy, driving traditional Finnish crusty hardcore
that will make you question your bleak soulless existence on this doomed
earth. This is a US press w/a bonus track not featured on the Euro version.
Rövsvett "Rövsvett I Nacken" (Pas 83)
- The latest vinyl offering from Sweden's answer to Poison Idea and Negative
Approach. These old men have been blasting out their high-speed hardcore
since the early 80's, so they certainly have their shit tight together.
Think NA mixed w/early Poison Idea and you get an idea on how sweet this
7" is. Includes NA + Kafka Prosess covers.
Riisteterror "Taabajar Hardcore" (Hardcore Holocaust)
- A collaboration between Finnish hardcore legends Riistetyt and Brazilian
manglers Sick Terror. If you know those bands, you know what this is...
Old-school traditional d-beat death for sure! Bring out that leather jacket
w/the Discharge logo!
Ruido S/t (Deep Six)
- Furious hardcorepunk from these fine latino fellas. Like a more pissed
off Crudos on PCP, Mescaline and gasoline. Grrrreat! . This 7" is on the
same label that brought you Infest, so I think you can guess how ferocious
this fukker is.
Resist And Exist S/t (Spiral)
- Really strong anarchopunk that takes politics to a personal and up-front
level. Killer hooks, catchy slogans and monster riffs! Cover folds out
into a neat poster.
Snifter "Action
reaction!" (PFC)
- Quality Swedish crusty hardcore, now broken up but this EP still holds
it's ground. Tight, fast, political hardcore not unlike State Of Fear,
Disrupt and Hiatus. Theu also did a split w/Battle Of Disarm.
Sayyadina / No Value split (SOB)
- New EP from Sayyadina, Sweden's grind force #1. Feat. members of I Quit,
Victims and Acursed. Here's another 5 tracks of awesome grindcore, recorded
at the famous Sunlight studios. No Value are Japanese and very, very much
into distorted, screaming fastcore. Coool! See below for more Sayyadina.
Sewn Shut / Ulcerrhoea split (SOB)
- More gurgling Carcass-styled grindcore from Sweden's own SS. Technical
and downtuned w/a fat production. Germany's Ulcerrhoe (no, don't ask me
what it means) are simpler and more hardcore (think early Napalm Death),
but just as effective.
Sewn Shut / Embalming Theatre split (SOB)
- More hellish grindcore violence. See above for info on SS, here you
get another 5 tracks of eviscerating force. I dunno where ET are from
but they sure are brutal. 6 tracks of dark and lightning fast grindcore
played by the rules. They took me by surprise w/the Filthy Christians
cover!
Sorto "1984-1986" (Power It Up)
- Finnish hardcore violence made in the mid 80's in only 300 copies. This
is an official re-issue w/lyrics and shit. Traditional, fukked up and
very raw Finnish hardcorepunk straight up your ass! Perkele! Ei leiki!
Sunday Morning Einsteins "Det är synd om dom rika"
(Prank)
- Follow up to their much acclaimed LP. Featuring the guitarist from Sweden's
legendary Svart Snö, this takes off somewhere near their seminal
"Smock and Roll" LP. Hyper, fast paced creative hardcore but
w/the Anti Cimex knob way in the red and an aggressive blasting of straight
forward attacks and virulent shouts. This EP is what a hardcore 7"
Should be: Short fast and loud !
Sayyadina "Solace Denied" (SOB)
- A new brightly shining star on the Swedish grind sky. Fast and relentless,
these guys pack a mean punch. Reminds a lot of the US west coast power
violence sound of the early 90's. Remember their split w/Bruce Banner?
This is meaner. Contains members of this and that, blah blah.
Stupid Babies Go Mad "Stupid Bastards & Great Motherfuckers"
(ACME)
- Fukking awesome mad fast Japanese punkrock that will kick you right
in the nuts. Not that much hardcore, just great and catchy punkfukkingrawk.
Think a mix of Motörhead, Sex Pistols, The Damned and Zeke but triple
the speed! I love Japan.
Severed Head Of State "No love lost" (Ebullition)
- Latest EP from this US super group. Fukking awesome modern day fast,
beefy, dark hardcore. See CD's + older 7"s for more info. This one
feat. a kick ass COC cover! Kicking it old-school.
Scumbrigade / Ens split (Död & Uppsvälld)
- S.B. is the finest crust band in the Swedish land! Total energy and
brutality, fueled by a hatred towards all the injustice in the world.
You know the deal baby... Metal riffs, female/male vocals, raw d-beat,
some blast beats, super distorted bass - killer! Feat. the hit "Stoppa
Schengen". The same description goes for Ens, but they are more thrash
metal actually. It doesn't get more crust terror then this split baby.
Gotta love the kids.
Scumbrigade / Tolshock split (Yellow Dog)
- See above for Scumbrigade. Tolshock is one of Sweden's longest running
hardcore bands. A relentless force of d-beat and chaotic anarcho riffing.
Watch out! If you haven't heard these fellas, you are missing out on one
of Sweden's prime terror forces. A perfect match!
Seein' Red "Marinus" (Ebullition)
- If you don't know about these old farts from Holland - where the fukk
have you been?! This came out in 1996/97 but still stands as one of their
best 7"s. Fast, fukked, furious and political hardcorepunk brought to
you by ex-Lärm folks. Crucial.
Smackdown S/t (Coalition)
- Debut 7" from this new and young Swedish band. Well-produced, old-school
USHC mixed w/some more power violent vibes and a wrestling image. For
fans of MK Ultra, Void, Das Oath and WWF.
See You In Hell / The Public split (tons of labels)
- Heavy double bass hardcore destruction from Slovakia vs. dark thrash
tornado from Czech Republic. Brutal, to say the least.
Scarred "Who do you trust?" (Room 101/Skit)
- One-off terrorcore project from Connecticut, USA. Good, chunky, crusty
hardcore w/excellent guitar work. Guitar player Bill is now in Caustic
Christ. Very out of print.
Seein' Red / The Now-Denial
"hope vs. disillusion EP" split (Tomte Tumme Tott)
- Here the Dutch veteran old-scool warriors Seein' Red team up w/German
darkcore thugs The Now-Denial. If you are into Poison Idea, political
lyrics, Tragedy and From Ashes Rise you will dig TND. And you should know
what SR sound like by now... This is a benefit for kids imprisoned at
the Genova protests. Cover folds out into cool poster.
Suicide Party "You're All Invited..." (Deadalive)
- Nihilistic hardcore punk from ex-members of Full Speed Ahead, Talk Is
Poison and Cop Out. Take equal parts Poison Idea and Discharge, add a
dash of Gauze, a fifth of whiskey, a handful of cocaine and shake with
a whole lotta love. Awesome!
The Scarlet Letter "Pure, unadulterated adultery" (Assault)
- 9 passionate tracks from this New Jersey gang. The music is powerful
and recalls the fury of '80s hardcore, while having some definite newer
influences as well. Addding emotional and melodic parts to the mix of
fast-paced, powerful and slightly psychotic punk rock, theyve created
their own blend of screamo hardcore that is highly original. What makes
the Scarlet Letter stick out is their ability to successfully mix different
styles. Ultra fast parts with melodic breaks, accentuated by different
singers, and back to something else entirely. Comes w/12 page booklet.
Also check out their split7" w/Let It Burn above.
Spazz / 25 Ta Life split (Boot)
- Weird boot of this even weirder split. The west coast power violence
gods team up w/NYHC tough guys. Like I said; weird.
Stack / Narsaak split (Per Koro)
- A twin attack of German intensity killing your brain! Stack are world
famous for their brand of European assault a'la Dropdead, Heresy etc.
Narsaak are just as fukking fast and fukked up. Recomended.
Skunk "EP" (Blurred)
- Weird and freaky hardcore from Japan. Slow, fast, slow, thrashy, slow,
rock, mosh, fukked up - they sure have style of their own. Chedck this
out kids.
Su19b S/t (Blurred)
- Crossed Out worshiping Japanese fukk heads. Total pv grind attack, mixed
up w/heavier sludge parts (Corrupted). Grim power violence full of despair
and dissent.
Scholastic Deth s/t (625)
- 3rd and final EP from this WHN sideproject. Fast and old-schooled hardcore
for the masses. Cool shit.
Sangre De Los Puercos "They lie, we die" (Cries of pain)
- Very raw and basic hardcore from NYC. Crude, to say the least. Think
Citizens Arrest but re-vamped for a severe basement bash, filled with
chaos and fights.
Seld Defense / xFilesx "Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide" split
(Room 101)
- Straight edge fukking revenge! Two new US bands who deal w/blistering
fast thrash beats and heavy mosh parts. SD are a bit slower, taking the
Negative Approach approach (ouch...) while xFx go straight for the fukking
throat. Incl. Slapshot + Raw Power covers. Tjooohooo!
Strong Intention "Each Day Lived... An Act Of Defiance" (Six Weeks)
- Great US thrashcore band! The bands own slogan "Seven Years Of
Fukking Distort" says it all. Pissed of as fukk Infest-stylee, this
baby should appeal to everyone who surfed in here 'cause they like D.S.-13.
Check out their new destructo CD on Coalition.
Sons Of Cyrus "The Warriors" (BBC)
- Fukking top notch old-school rock'n'roll from Stockholm, Sweden. If
you are into shit like Stooges, Radio Birdman etc, this vinyl's for you.
Also see their absolutely mind fukking new LP further down. On a sublabel
of Really Fast even!
Spitting Teeth "Don't believe the hype" (Havoc)
- 2nd EP from the Seattle sxe terror force! Total old-school thrash assault
w/a cool sense of humor. Havoc sure can pick 'em. One of these days we're
gonna get our thumbs out of our asses and do the Euro press of the 1st
EP as well...
Straight To Hell s/t (Deadalive)
- 6 songs on 7 inches from this killer new band made up of some of the
same people that brought you Dropdead, Ulcer and Paindriver. Vicious Scandinavian
style hardcore with ferocious leads and harsh, gravely vocals that bring
Citizens Arrest to mind. There's a definate USHC influence on this record
too. Check out their split 7" with Balance of Terror below.
Saternine "No Blessings, No Reasons" (Big Brothel)
- One of Stockholms finest rock'n'roll merchants make their vinyl debut.
All female quartet dealing in straight up garage rock w/a sharp punk edge.
Recently signed to White Jazz.
Slang "Made in Japan" (Mad Preacher)
- More over-the-top Japanese madness. Fast and very very very angry, tight
as hell, cruel vocals - good shit. Incl. Ripcord cover. Hardcore lives!
Shut The Fuck Up "Miserable existence" (3rd World)
- Aggressive US hardcorepunk armed w/guitars to slice your face off. Cahotic
and nice!
Severed Head Of State "Black Blood World" (Malarie)
- "Superproject" feat. members of HHIG/Tragedy, Defiance, Detestation
and Masskontroll. Great fukking metallized, crusty hardcore w/a really
dark vibe. Euro release, don't know if it will show up on any U.S. label.
One of the best bands around in the states right now, look out for future
7" on BHR. Really nice two-colored vinyl as well.
Straight To Hell / Balance Of Terror split (Partners In Crime)
- An absolute MUST! Debut vinyl from Rhode Islands S2H, a new band feat.
ex and current members of Dropdead, Paindriver and Ulcer. Fast and distorted
hardcore filled w/animosity and hate towards mankind. Killer! NYC's BOT
are not to be outdone, deadly dark hardcore. A great split!
Shika BaneS/t (Agipunk)
- Totally schizoid grind/hardcore/weirdness from Japan. Really fukking
good, check it out. Recommended.
The Statics "1980" (Ugly Pop)
- This is an original 1980 punk rock recording from this old obscure Candian
band. If you are into the old sounds of late 70's/early 80's, this bitch
is for you. Kavajpunk rules!
Sugar Pie Koko S/t (SOB/Stategrinder)
- The Swedish band formerly known as Greed. This is waaay less crusty
and grindy. They have changed their musical style, doing some cool rough
and raw political hardcorepunk. This actually reminds me a bit of early
Last Security. Awesome full cover cover.
Scare Tactic s/t (Solomon Method)
- You can blame fukking Canada for producing such a raw and in-your-face
old-school hardcoreband! Crushing sxe hardcore w/an early 80's feel to
it. Thraaash!
Severed Head Of State s/t (Communichaos Media)
- Just fukking awesome! This is kind of an all-star band packed w/various
old scenesters. Ex and current members of Detestation, Defiance, His Hero
Is Gone, Tragedy etc etc etc. But fukk that, the music just rages. Dirty
and low-down hardcore w/a very dark and crusty feel. State-of-the-art
packaging too. One of the best 7"s of 2001...
Stupid Babies Go Mad "Kichigai & Knife" (No Sense)
- Fukking awesome mad fast Japanese punkrock that will kick you right
in the nuts. Not that much hardcore, just great and catchy punkfukkingrawk.
Think a mix of Motörhead, Sex Pistols, The Damned and Zeke but triple
the speed! I love Japan. . I believe this is a newer EP, more of the same
supreme fast rock'n'roll shit! Ultra punk revenge!
Siniterror / Morte Paura split (Pas 83)
- Two obscure Swedish bands doing a split on Pas 83, the sublabel of Elderberry
- the home of Swedish crust madness. Morte Paura do traditional Italian
hardcore thrash (Raw Power, Negazione, EU's Arse etc) in Italian. I think
the language is all fake imaginary Italian, but it does sound like the
real thing. Really harsh euro thrash! I think Siniterror are the same
members as Morte Paura but I'm not sure. The terrors are more old-school
scandik”ng, never going too far away from the holy roots of Anti-Cimex.
Hand-numbered ed. of 600 copies.
Selby Tigers / The Kitchen split (Wakusei)
- Selby Tigers are from Minneapolis (with an album out on Hopeless) playing
punchy punkrocking new-wavepunk, like B-52's meets Bikini Kill! The Kitchen
is a duo from Glasgow, with a guy named Ryan and none other than Amanda
of Bis on vocals! But in contrast to the bombastic pop of Bis, The Kitchen
have a more stripped-down lofi-appraoch, which is none the less really
cool! Exclusive songs by both bands on this 7"!"
The Stakeout "6 Song E.P." (Burst Of Anger)
- Finland goes early 80's USHC! Fast and catchy hardcorepunk inspiered
by "This Is Boston..." and "Flex Your Head" comps, mixed w/a healthy dose
of Finnish anxiety. If you dig current stuff like E.T.A, you will love
this bunch.
Scorned S/t (Scorned)
- Seven tracks of political, fast, heavy, distorted, raw, crusty hardcore.
Think superb shit like State Of Fear etc etc. Awesome and slick cover
artwork.
Soul Engine "Leaving Out Empty Bodies" (???)
- Rocking, soft-isch punkrock w/a leaning towards emo. Dedicated and political,
these German fellas remind me of early Separation, 4 Walls Falling etc.
Seven Feet Four s/t (Dempe)
- Power violence from Sweden. Noisy, screaming and totally brutal w/a
jagged edge. Intense! Comes on really thick vinyl in a really thick sleeve.
Shot Gun S/t (Rampage)
- Violent, maniac Japanese thrashcore. Totally insane! Comes w/stickers.
See You In Hell s/t (Bunch of labels)
- Latest release from this Czech powerhouse. Furious and angry grindcore,
not for the weak. Slick D.R.I. cover as well. Top notch.
Seven Days Of Samsara / Destroyer split (Flowerviolence)
- 7DOS are from the states and are nasty, noisie, aggressive emotional
metal hardcore w/a power violence vein. Reminds me of Dragbody etc etc.
Destroyer are totally different. From Germany, they play real old early
80's USHC. Like Jerry's Kids, FU's, Reagan Youth, DYS etc etc. No metal,
no shit production - just cool '83 styled hc. Horrible cover though. Well,
at least it looks 80's...
Siren "The Struggle Goes On" (Reflections)
- Female Dutch/USA old-school hardcore combo. Fast and raw but still w/a
melodic edge + heavy breakdowns and sing-a-longs. Reminds me of Swedish
bands like Outlast, Section 8 etc etc w/a hint of Fast Times and the almighty
Gorilla Biscuits. Really cool vocals! Feat. Issa from Good Clean Fun on
bass...
Sawn Off / Unkind split (Pathetique)
- Last release from the UK's Sawn Off before they turned into Boxed In.
Kick-arse fastcore, crusty d-beats mixed w/grind parts and over the top
screaming. Finlands Unkind are dark and epic, similar style as Born Dead
Icons, Tragedy, Amebix etc etc but w/Finnish lyrics. Cool as shit!
Smalltown "Fall Into LIne" (Bridge)
- Cool fresh Swedish trio doing the punkrock routine. You know, catchy
street punk sing-a-longs and bouncy Rancid/Clash beats. Pogo!
Sissy Spacek "Hair Control" (Helicopter/Nu Form)
- Noise noise noise... NOT music. Very interesting at least. Also see
the Cd's for more madness from Sissy. This is a one-sided 7", probably
extremely limted.
Sound Like Shit / Shot Gun split (Throw Up)
- Two bands from Japan thrashing it out! See below for more SLS. They
are still as fukked up and grinding as before. Fast and brutal, just the
way we like it. Watch out for their coming split w/Bruce Banner. SG are
more ordinary hardcore, no grind. Just good old fashioned Japanese hardcore!
Awesome.
Shit On Command / Wadge split (RSR)
- Two ton grind hammer right in your face! Both bands are fukking pulverizing,
crushing your skull like a grape! Also check out the Wadge 10" below.
Just pure fukking grindcore honey...
SMOL / Majestic Four split (MCR)
- SMOL are a totally unknown (at least for me) Swedish band. Dishing out
some premier Scandinavian thrasy crust heavy on the d-beat, these guys
rip it up pretty good. Apparently, SMOL is an old sideproject w/members
from Warcollapse, Operation, Everyday Madness, 3-Way Cum and The Great
Deceiver! M4 are from Japan and have a 7" out on 625 too. Crazy and manic
Japanese thrashcore the Systematic Death way w/ hints of Agnostic Front.
Cool!
Stack "Mondonervaktion" (Crust/Equality)
- Europe's finest violence spreaders! This is one of their early releases,
came out in 1996. Fasst and fukked up grinding euor violence, great for
smashing cop cars to. Euro 4ever!!
Sewn Shut / Mind Collage Split (Sounds Of Betrayal)
- See the split w/Man In Shackles for a description of Sewn Shut. More
of the that fine grinding noise! Mind Collage is Japanese raw terror grind
w/deep throat vocals. Not for the weak.
Sound Like Shit "Once Upon The Metal" (Six Weeks)
- They rip of D.R.I. for the cover design, their motto is "thrash or die!",
they are from Japan... guess what they sound like!!! Yupp, it's straight
up PV/thrash core. Grrreat!
Tragedy S/t (Tragedy)
- 3 unreleased, new songs. Is it good? Are you shitting me...? Top 10
best bands around right now. 'Nuff said. Price:
40kr / 6 U$D ppd
Trucker Crank / No Room For Fussy split (Villain)
- Debut release from this new US label. TC crank out misanthropic, hateful
thrash done the Infest-way + some weird parts. NR4F are more melodic hardcore
w/nifty breakdowns. Slick split! Lmt. ed. 300 on marble vinyl.
To Hell And Back S/t (Coalition)
- Side-project of JBA, Devoid Of Faith + The Oath. Cool mix of punk and
pure r'n'r. Think AC/DC, MC5, Stooges, Turbonegro. Think rockin' lead
guitar + piano. Cool.
Tear It Up s/t (Havoc)
- This is the shit! You can't have missed the band that's been sweeping
the hardcore world for the past two years?! Fast, catchy - AWESOME! Hardcore
lives! This is their debut EP, the one that started the hype.
Totalitär "Dom Lurar Oss" (1000 db)
- Later 7" offering from this legendary bunch of Swedish hardcore
motherfukkers. It doesn't get much better than this when it comes to fast,
raw d-beat hardcore.
Totalt Jävla Mörker "Industri, betong och sålda
själar" (Communichaos / Federatia)
- Re-stock of this much hyped Swedish band. A blazing mix of modern hardcore
and that classic Swedish raw punk sound. For fans of Skitsystem. Will
blow your head off!
Think I Care S/t (Deadalive)
- 8 rippers delivered by one of the best up and coming bands from the
American east coast. Totally raging and uncontrolled hardcore punk with
throat ripping vocals and the distortion on 11. Pissed and to the point,
this shit moshes somewhere between SS Decontrol, No Comment and Infest.
Break it up!!
This Computor Kills S/t 7" (Sedition)
- Mid-paced, fukked up, discordant hardcore with 90's styled screamo vocals.
If you are into stuff like Yaphet Coto, At The Drive In, Hot Snakes, Drive
Like Jehu etc this one's for you. Comes on white vinyl + w/a patch.
Tear It Up / Down In Flames split (Busted Heads)
- Our own release. Over the top old-school USHC heaven from both bands!
Mosh it up! This is way sold out, just got a few left over copies from
a distro. So act fast if you want it!
Totalitär "Spela Bort Allt Du Har" (D&U)
- Brand fukking new record from the kings of Swedish d-beat hardcore!!!
These guys never dissapoint anyone. Five unreleased songs of raw, in your
fukking face hardcore!
Totalitär "Allting är PÂ Låtsas" (Really Fast)
- Their latest release, even newer than "Spela Bort Allt Du Har"! So fresh
it's still fukking hot from the pressing plant. Four songs of prime, primitive
Swedish d-beat hardcore. The production is really right on, fukking raw
and reminds me of their early, classic records. Recorded at Studio D-Takt
by Jutila so I guess he knows his shit. Poffens voice has never sounded
this good! If you have ANY interest in Swedish hardcore, this is a must.
Trucker "My star" (BBC)
- Punchy punkrock from Stockholm. Catchy as hell, 4/4 beat hasn't sounded
this good since The Avengers.
Tetsu-Arrey "Rocket/Core" (HG Fact)
- 2 brand new tracks from these kings of heavy, fast Japanese hardcore.
Killer shit to get you high!
Total Fury "Committed To The Core EP" 7" (Busted Heads)
- Our own release. Ten brand new songs from Japan's craziest, most
over-the-top USHC worshipers. SSD + Minor Threat + amphetamine = Total
Fury! Expect a U.S. press on Youth Attack.
Tolshock "Spikes And Studs And Hard To The Core..." (Elderberry)
- One of Sweden's longest running hardcore bands. A relentless force of
d-beat and chaotic anarcho riffing. Watch out! If you haven't heard these
fellas, you are missing out on one of Sweden's prime terror forces.
Thanks For Nothing "Selling The Double Standard" (Land Seed)
- Fukking no-frills, all kills UK thrashcore w/some hints of grind. Twenty
tracks on a 7"? You know you want this... Severe mosh pit trauma!
Turun Tauti "Laumasielut" (K”m”set Levyt/Raato/Nice Lobotomy)
- How do the Finnish bands all manage to sound so depressive, like they
are gonna hang themselves in the attic the next minute? This is fast,
traditional dark Finnish hardcore. Tons of anxiety and suicidal winds.
Gotta love it.
Tampere SS "Sotaa" (Havoc)
- Originally released back in 1983, this classic Finnish 7" can still
show the young punks of today a thing or two. Legendary Tampere SS played
chaotic, fast hardcore in the best Finnish tradition, influenced by the
early 80's UK sound (Discharge, Chaos UK, Varukers, Disorder etc). A must
for anyone interested in the roots of Scandinavian hardcore.
Terrorain "1988 Demo" (Burrito)
- Old UKHC from the vaults. Shame they never hit it big, they would have
put Heresy / Infest to shame. Great hardcore!
Unwise "Get Lost" (MCR)
- Fast and violent Japanese hardcore. Kinda Discharge sounding but no
clones. Mosh it up!
Unwise "You gonna make it or you never" (MCR)
- Their first EP. Screams with a fierce intensity combined with buzzing
guitars, loud bass and the powerful banging of the drum will provoke great
excitement in your perception. It seems that no other band is able to
eject a venom as toxic as that of Unwise from Tokyo. They are one of the
few bands that you can never ignore.
Unit "Giai Phong" (Whisper in Darkness)
- Single weirdest record in the entire distro. This 7" is a new project
feat. members of the Apostles (old Mortarhate/Fight Back band who played
a lot with the Mob, Crass, Conflict etc). Fukked up Chinese folk music
meets rock. Kinda. I dare ya'll to try it. Lmt. ed. of 500.
Uncle Charles "Action speaks louder than words" (New
Noise/914)
- Nine song attack of furious, fast and fukked up Swedish crust. Female/male
dual vocals, d-beat, distortion - the whole nine yards! Feat. Members
of Human Waste. Lmt. Ed. 300 copies.
U.S. Bombs "Great lakes of beer" (Beer City)
- Old-school U.S. drunk punk straight from the streets of Cali. Feat.
the jackass madman and skateboard legend Duane Peters on vocals. Good
shit if you are into The Clash, Rancid etc etc.
Usuals "I'll keep your heart in mind" (Mangrove)
- Wow, I say wow! Supreme '77-style punkrock'n'roll from Japan. Think
Dead Boys, Heartbreakers, Voidoids, a pinch of Blondie etc etc. Great!
Unholy Grave "Fanaticism" (Rescued From Life)
- Either you love them or hate them. They have 1 000 000 record releases
filled w/raw, brutal, god fukking Japanese grindcore. This is pretty new
I think...
Unholy Grave "Zero Hour EP" (Undislessed)
- Yet another UG record! Fukk, how can one band produce so much brutality?
If you have heard them, you know what to expect. If not, these Japanese
grind monsters are worth checking out.
Urko "Fast3chordhardcoremotherfuckingthrashcrustpunkshit" (Disintegration)
- Read the record title and you get the picture. Prime fukking UK thrash
for the new breed of crazy punk fukks!

- Anxiety infested crust from Rhode Island, USA. Male and female vocals
and heavy duty riff slaughter! The title track is a killer hit.
Vöetsek "Tinea Cruris" (Six Weeks)
- Eleven song debut release from hard thrashin' Cali strike force. Fearfull
female vocals and punishing drum attacks. Go for the throat ladies!
Virginia Black Lung s/t (Coalition)

thrash, kinda like HHIG and Catharsis but without all the slow metal stuff.
Comes w/a 16 page booklet.
Voorhees "What You See Is What You Get" (Crust)
- One of UKHC heroes Voorhees first 7"s. Fast and very americanized old-school
hardcore. Think Negative FX, Negative FX, SSD, Gang Green, Suicidal Tendencies
etc. Very fine shit!
Valse Triste "Humen Giljotiini" (Winter)
- Putting Finland back on the map! Sreaming and brutal scandicore for
all you fans of that lovely Finnish sound. Just don't ask me what the
fukk the name means...
Victims "Harder Than It Was Meant To Be" (Yellow Dog)
- This is just fukking great, a sheer power house of full-on violent Swedish
hardcore. Raw d-beat straigh up yr arse! I love this band! Watch out for

V/A "More world less bank" (Halvfabrikat/Blindead)
- A good display of the crustier modern day Swedish scene. One exclusive

Actions)

AK are from Germany and do the early 90's death metal thing pretty good.
Reminds me of my old favourites Unleashed.

not a diss. Go team hardcore!

lyrics and a cool attitude
