Russia Bombs Finland Comp.

Russia Bombs Finland comp came out on Propaganda in 1982 (Pro-005)
and featured two to five tracks each by the Bastards, Antikeho, Kaaos, Nato,
Terveet Kadet, Riistetyt, 013, Maho Neistyt, Appendix, Sekunda, and Dachau.
How can you go wrong with a line up like that. I'm told this was recently
released on CD as well. “

“Hardcore really took off in Finland in the early 80's. It was first brought to most Americans attention by this magazine and the Welcome to 1984 compilation. To Americans the best known Finnish hardcore bands are probably the ones who appeared on this comp. Rattus and Terveet Kadet, but there are tons of other great HC bands from Finland from the 80-84 period that never really got much exposure outside of Finland. Most well known are Appendix, Riistetyt, Lama, Varaus, the Bastards, Kaaos, Tampere SS, Kansan Uutiset, and Kohu 63 but there were tons more. The most prolific hardcore label of the period was Propaganda records. Propaganda licensed its catalogue to the German label Rock O Rama.” -MRR/HAVOC

Riistetyt (9Albums)(req.)

somebody requested Riistetyt, so heres some albums by them.


Riistetyt was originally named Cadgers. It was formed in end of 70's. In 81 (in fall of the year) they made a split with Kaaos (PTEP 01). Line-up was Lateri - voc., Perry - gtr., Piise - b. and Stydy - dr. In spring of 1982 Perry left the Cadgers and formed a band called Järjestyshäiriö (they did one great demo-tape, on vocals was Kake from Kaaos). Raipe replace Perry in guitar and so band became Riistetyt. "Laki ja järjestys" -ep (PTEP 03) came out in summer of 82. In fall of that year Piise left the Riistetyt (he was only 15 years old and he had something else) and Perry came back. The line-up: Lateri - voc., Perry - gtr., Raipe - b., Stydy - dr. They made the lp. "Valtion Vankina" (PRO 006), which came out in January 83. Then Raipe left and Piise came back to play bass. Next record was "Skitsofrenia" (PRO 018) 12" ep. It came out in spring of 1983. In that summer the line-up changed again, Piise and Stydy left on this time. New drummer and bass player was found from Kaaos, Jaska and me (Nappi). We were so fucking bored with Jakke. In October we made "Tuomiopäivä" (KILL 02) -ep, which came out until 1991 (I don't know the reason for this). A month later we did the studiosection for "Nightmares in Darkness" (RRR 34), it came out in next year. The live side on that album was recorded at Puntala festivals 83. After we were in studio Perry went to army and we had any guitarist. On that time we had the first Holy Dolls -project with Lateri. In December came Rike from Bastards to play guitar. He was very active to take care of gigs and other things of band but money was the only reason why he did all that. It became clear to me little bit later. Our Holy Dolls -project ispired him to form the Pyhät Nuket to addition for Riistetyt. We did with Riistetyt further one record "Raiskattu Tulevaisuus - Raped Future" (RRR 44). It came out later 1984, much more later than I left the band. On covers of that album they only thanked me for playing bass on that record. Ok that tells something about athmosphere in those days. I didn't get along with Rike, 'cos I noticed what kind of asshole he was. I left the band in April 84 and I formed the Kuolleet Kukat with Jakke. Riistetyt went to touring in USA in summer of that year. They had Make and Mika from TampereSS in guitar and bass there. I've heard that the music was only partically Riistetyt stuff in USA. Later they left Riistetyt completely and concentrated to Pyhät Nuket.

We restarted the band for the funeral of Lepakko in Nov. 1999 (Lepakko was legendary gigplace in Helsinki which was originally squated in 1979 and demolished by the Nokia in 1999). The line-up was Lazze-voc, Rike-guitar, Timo-drums and me-bass. In the beginning of 2000 we put Rike away, 'cos he came so bossy (actually he was same kind of asshole like in 80's) and we others didn't get along with him. Now we tried with two guitarists, Raimo and Vege. With that line-up we made an EP. "Tervetuloa Kuolema" (FIGHT 030) and little bit later Timo and Raimo moved away from the band. Perttu came to drums in Jan. 2001 and since that we've played with current line-up. Now we have made one LP "Kuka Valehtelee" (FIGHT036 / UDS 002) and 10" "Orjat Ja Kurjat" (FIGHT043) We've also toured several times in Europe and Brazil.

Kakistocracy - Cast Aside Your Chains And Dance

After several EP and split releases and two US tours, Ashville, NC’s KAKISTOCRACY’s brand of anarcho-punk has matured into the powerful and complex sound represented by their first full-length release. A limited run of 300 copies were available for their 2004 US tour, but complications prevented a full pressing until now. Those lucky few who have heard the tour edition copies, will soon be joined by those up until now uninitiated in their appreciation for how original and fresh sounding this band is. KAKISTOCRACY have just completed recording for a split album with CHRONICLE A/D (ex-ANTI-SCHISM, INITIAL STATE, etc.), also to be released on Profane Existence Records. There is also talk of an impending tour with Sweden’s TO WHAT END? More later...

Necessarily, Goodbye Cruel World is a marked occasion. This sprawling 57 track homage to the one of the earliest and longest-standing torchbearers of American grindcore finds the band operating in the hideous, blinding sort of energy that was their live show. It is worth noting that nowhere on this CD does the band appear to be coming apart at the seams, imploding, or hacking the songs up like many a noise-grind bands tended to. Sure, Kevin Sharp is frothing at the mouth, Lilker and Gurn offer a naked, primitive tandemic rhythm (in the strictest sense of the word) and Rich Hoak's near god-like drumming are no-lose musical constructs. But the temptation to descend into a colorless din is duly resisted. In fact, the oddball creativity and studio excesses of Need To Control and Animal Kingdom rub well; these renditions are loose, comfortable interpretations of the originals...with the exception of the butchered "Ill-Neglect", but hey - 1 of 44 is a ratio I can live with. In that sense, it's an absolute appropriate summation of their musical trajectory: This is Brutal Truth: this is how they sounded then, this is how they feel about it now. Elsewhere, the band took their covers seriously. The Germs, Celtic Frost, Black Sabbath, the Boredoms, Agathocles, Melvins are dutifully sent through the band's bludgeoning tumbler, furbished with a unique understanding of Japanese grindcore, which glazed over much of their later material. Darby Crash would have been proud.

Among the studio tracks, I must nominate "No Sleep" as the superlative. They are, in general, strange little ditties with limited belonging (and not without good reason). Of course, if it's Brutal Truth, it's worth your attention anyway. For a band whose singer performed with Coke-bottle sized side-burns and a cowboy hat - you just knew they guys were functioning outside parameters. But alas, as the sun sets and the epitaphs are raised, what one must remember, and all one needs to know, can be summed up as thus: Brutal Truth wrecked the place.

Brutal Truth began as extreme grindcore, and created that well, but with this release have added inummerable gifts to the genre. Instead of being flat, basic, straightforward music, this is tonal and dynamic music, played with all of the ferocity and punkdom of the earlier material, and perhaps more, in that it has shed the elements of bad metal (predictability, reliance on blast beats) in favor of a more encompassing approach.
This album is more punk, in both feel and tonality, than the last one (even including a cover of the germs' "media blitz") but it hasn't lost the spirit of grindcore, of loving messy, simple, brutal music. The songs are still short, and there are some well-done noise tracks which complement the music rather than separate songs. The overall speed is not as consistently high, nor is it as fast, but speed is used where needed with great alacrity and precision.
This album crushes their first; where the first was flat speed rock, this is experimental, even daring, and very punk for the current crop of moronic grindcore.

Stepping back from the avantgarde edge of "Need to Control," Brutal Truth mix nontraditional grind factors as aesthetic complements and make the ashen, chromatic, directionless thrashing of their first album come together with some concept but mostly urgency and variation on form. The band have reconverged their sound upon a grindcore extreme of speed and almost schizophrenic complexity in this postmodern document of human despair. In contrast to the previous album, this is as demonstrative, immature and reactionary as their first album, which is similarly listenable for rhythm alone and in divergence from common form not of enough complexity to hold the attention of an experienced death/grind listener.

Hailing from the school of extreme grindcore (with roots in early Napalm Death and Discharge, along with a 90's sensability of noise influenced by Merzbow, among others), Brutal Truth probably leads to the forefront of bands with little subtle touch. Using dizzying time changes from blast beats to frantic rolls to occasional punkish beats, drummer Rich Hoak sets the pace. Some of the songs are so busy and blurred that they tend to blend together. The listener gets the impression of clustered riffing and feels like they're punching their way out of a paper bag. But occasionally (like on "Jemenez cricket"), Brutal Truth eases up and lets a little breathing space in (but not much).
Brutal Truth's lead grunter/screamer Kevin Sharp's vocals are another defining point to the band. From guttaral death grunts to shrill animalistic screams of agony, you know he ain't singing about falling in love and cruising Sunset Strip. Lyrically, his stream of consciousness mirrors bands like the Minutemen in spirit (especially in "Callous", where the entire lyrical mantra is "you are just callous/you will, will, will never see"...now that is to the point). The final track, "Prey", is twenty minutes of Sharp screaming "Prey" over a looped grind track, gradually building in distortion and noise. This will clear the arena of your choice. Heck, you might even follow.
Overall, this is a impenetrable barrage that is a difficult listen. There is enough undercurrent and raw savage aggression to appeal to the hardcore, death, and noise communities, but be prepared to spend several listens before the grind settles in.

Brutal Truth - Kill Trend Suicide

Released :: October 1, 1996
Length :: 33:51
Label :: Relapse Records
Producer :: Brutal Truth
Kill Trend Suicide is the fifth release by New York City band Brutal Truth. It was technically labelled as a 'mini-album' due to it being longer than an EP but not as long as a standard album.
1. Blind Leading The Blind
2. Pass Some Down
3. Let's Go To War
4. Hypocrite Invasion
5. Everflow
6. Zombie
7. Homesick
8. Humanity's Folly
9. I Killed My Family
10. Kill Trend Suicide


With about as much subtlety as knee to the groin, New York grindcore knuckle-draggers Brutal Truth cut another slew of "songs" containing "music" amid Kevin Sharp's petulant microphone molestation. But let's face it, subtlety never has been Brutal Truth's forte. Kill Trend Suicide renders me akin to the state I'm in several hours after putting my Germs records from the early 80's on 70 RPM, dropping some drexelyne, sweating like a maniac, and whipping my immediate environment into a violent frenzy. Neither of which can be terribly healthy. Before I perused the album's credits I had just assumed it was live; recorded in a single take, in someone's basement, with a single microphone, which probably fell over when the furniture started moving. Not so. Billy "Eyehategod" Anderson was indeed turning knobs at the helm, but the recording is so atrocious, one could not discern the fact anyway. Thematically DIYish, and presumably a back-handed homage to said punk influence, but all things considered, I have enough chaos in my life. Now, where'd I put those Tom Waits records...

Album Reviews:

#1:
One of the sloppy grind records everyone should own, Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses marked the entry of Brutal Truth into the world of caustic crust anger and rollicking hardcore punk grooves. Noisy and sometimes quite experimental, the record averages at least one sticky hook per song, ensuring the listener that they are listing to songs and not just blast beats and distortion. Kevin Sharpe (memorably slighted in an A.C. song title) provides the insane screeches and low death grunts that are now trademarks of the Brutal Truth experience. Songs are generally short, founded on angry (but somewhat uneventful) lyrics, insane snare blasts, power drill breaks (!) and yes, even somewhat musical doom metal riffing. The overall tone is on the hopeless and apocalyptic side of things, and not particularly focused on idealism or utopian fantasy. Unlike most political grind though, the songs are really quite catchy and on rare occasions almost melodic. Crusties, grinders, and noise connoisseurs would all find something to enjoy here, but then again, they probably already own the album. As for everyone else, the album is definitely sorta recommended, if for no other reason than the lyrics of "Blockhead", the requisite Black Sabbath cover, and opening sample of “Walking Corpse”.


#2:
To take grindcore to a further extreme, one had to face the tendency of the genre to drift toward overextensions of musical destruction and thus to dissipate into irrelevance, and in overcoming that to find a new technicality. Brutal Truth didn't on this album. Repeated patterns from the hallowed halls of fame of grind/hard/crustcore oblivion and high-speed repetitions of chromatic notes without harmonic or melodic composition produces an album that, thanks to intelligent guitar-drum interaction, is rhythmically compelling but devoid of artistic content. Pass this one by for their second.

5. Soon, They'll Scream
6. From Death to Dust
7. Coffins and Curios

We Came for the Dead!!! is Ghoul's 2002 debut album released by Razorback Records. The lyrics in this album are based on the stories of the three band members (Dissector joined Ghoul after the release of We Came for the Dead!!!), as well as the introduction of their conspirator, Mr. Fang.

Album Reviews:
This is an album that makes death metal and thrash proud. This is pure metal worship, paying homage to bands like Carcass, Death, and Megadeth. Catchy thrash riffs that gives you the urge to violently thrust your head back and forth. You could really hear the old school Anthrax and Megadeth influence in the riffing. Three different vocals attacks: the decipherable growly Carcass-style vocals, deep thick death metal growls, and those inhuman gurgles coming from the bellows of a monster. Drums never get all blurry, that's a good thing. You could hear the clear pounding unlike in a lot of other death/grind bands that do nothing but blindly throw in sloppy blast beats just because they can. There's solos in just about every song, not the most technical but damn good and still requires guitar shredding skill, works with their formula of simple old school hardcore thrash modified with the intense elements of death metal. Easy to get caught up in their infectious grooves, which they produce continuously. The intros some of the songs have got a creepy Halloween atmosphere. There really isn't anything to complain about, they give you all the solid qualities you want in metal: Good riffs, good solos, good drumming, good growls, good everything, nothing to bitch about. If you haven't heard Ghoul yet, you have no idea what you're missing. Death metal, grind/splatter/gore, thrash, hell, maybe even power metal fans, can salute Ghoul for this pure metal masterpiece that reminds us all of why we love metal in the first place. Gotta love that violent comic-style album cover too.


GHOUL - We Came For The Dead !!! (Razorback Records~2002)
Wow ! This is top notch Gore Death that has a good amount of humour and skill involved. The band, who has taken a liking to the old style horror movie themes, is made up of three guys who all take on vocal duties providing a multi faceted arrangement of gurgling, throaty and rough growls. The guitar excellence is demonstrated by the fact that not only is it full and crunchy but you also get some kick ass solos throughout ! These guys pay homage to some of the top Death / Grind bands (CARCASS, AUTOPSY, MACABRE) and do it damn well ! As an added bonus they also manage to spice up MEGADETH´s 'Skull Beneath The Skin'. So, if you miss CARCASS (especially, as I see the strongest influence coming from them) and love quality Death / Grind then don´t hesitate for a minute to head to http://www.razorbackrecords.com and order yourself this latest release by the undead. An outstanding album !

Ghoul - Splatterthrash

Ghoul - Splatterthrash
Releases: 06/06/2006
Razorback

A definite potential member of the Top 3 Albums of 2006, Splatterthrash seizes the nipples and rips flesh quicker than Lloyd Kauffman releases trashy b-movies for Troma Entertainment. Come to think of it, the album might make a good soundtrack for any number of Kauffman’s future releases.

Though these are supposedly the same musicians that comprise Impaled, Ghoul is a completely different animal. Incorporating enough elements inherent in a number of separate genres, Splatterthrash is an interesting listen, and, to say the least, makes it hard for a critic to pin down any one genre for comparison. Thrash, death, grind, punk, and even what might be described as psychobilly, courtesy of “Psychoplasm” and “Baron Samedi,” make themselves welcome guests on this collection of a wonderfully diverse thirteen songs.

Gang vocals work well for such a delectably schizophrenic aesthetic and contribute to the greater sense of variety (and fun). The effect is a bit different from Impaled, because song structures actually seem a bit tighter here, with choruses acting as glue for the insane thrash solos, grind sections, and mosh parts. Each vocal style contributes to an instrumental element, with the cleaner vocals highlighting the mosh parts and the raspy vocals slicing through the harsher, denser and technically demanding passages.

Don’t be too concerned if you don’t like death, grind or Impaled, because the elements pushed more obviously to the forefront are thrash and crossover, especially in terms of the mosh and thrash passages carrying most of the album through its entirety; think Funerot (for the faster mosh sections) meets early U.S. thrash (strictly in terms of the solos). Horror enthusiasts will also have a field day, because, go figure, the lyrics are well-crafted and pretty poetic given the anxiously psychotic feel of the music itself: “As your casket’s covered, feel the cruel hand of time / Ectoplasmic tendrils, enveloping in slime / Apparitions wail from the mould infested crypts / Skin begins to peel, turn to gelatin, and drip.” Some have complained of the sound not feeling as cohesive as it could on previous releases Maniaxe and We Came for the Dead, but trust me when I say that while I was able to dissect and attempt to isolate differing genre-specific elements, you won’t do this yourself while listening because they are integrated so seamlessly. The lyrics serve as an additional layer and you will want to take the time to decipher them, because they really do act as the core of Ghoul’s horror aesthetic.

Obviously, Ghoul cannot be so simply reduced as to be labeled an Impaled offshoot. With a sound, storyline, and aim all its own, this Oakland foursome, rusty knives in hand, carved its own niche into the dirtied, whorish tissue of metal’s black lungs. For that feat alone, Splatterthrash should be celebrated. The fact that they manage to perfect sound and story on their third full-length in four years makes them worthy of your worship, or at the very least, your money.

Graves At Sea - Documents of Grief (demo)

TRACKLIST:
1. Red Monarch
2. Black Bile
3. Wormwood
4. Praise the Witch

The guitar tone on Documents Of Grief make me think of entire cities being assailed by huge, roiling avalanches of poo. The tone is massive, all-encompassing and turgid… aural frequency assault as interpreted by Orange amplification.

20 Buck Spin Records is re-issuing this excellent 2003 debut by Arizona’s desert doom dregs, Graves At Sea. It was originally a self-released effort and quickly went out of print. If you get your jollies from the sludgey end of extreme doomation, Documents of Grief is custom built for your (fucked-up) auditory system. In terms of palpable sound comparisons, I’m thinking perhaps Grief and Burning Witch doing a dual interpretation of Dopethrone. It’s a dismally hypnotic journey into the void, the only caveat perhaps being the vocals of dread-farmer Nathan. He makes Attila Cishar seem like mother’s milk. It’ll scare your pets. Or at least put them off their food.

In a nutshell, brutally heavy with a caustic groove running through the mix. Atherogenic poo-core riffage at it’s best.

Real Reggae - Maze + THC Best

The MAZE CD that REAL REGGAE did on MCR Company is fucking ripping. Great, thick production, awesome songs....just everything that I look for in a good fastcore band. I started talking to Yumikes of MCR and he was saying that REAL REGGAE was looking to release things in the US. I've met them twice before (both times I've been to Osaka, I've played with them) and was totally into helping them out. We started talking about it more, and the end result was a discography up to MAZE. And although in retrospect I would have liked to have done a vinyl version, I think the purpose was acheived....the entire history of REAL REGGAE was made available to places that have not been able to get their stuff. A funny side note is that the tray cards were printed wrong, and they shrink-wrapped the CD as well, so I had to crack open all 1600 of them to replace the tray card. That sucked. Anyways...40+ songs, spanning comps, splits, Eps and their debut full length + full color sticker..

Grief - Dismal

1. Rhionceros
2. Isolation
3. Coma
4. Shoot Me...
5. Fucked Upstairs
6. Depression
7. Virus
8. Fleshpress
9. The Drone


"I wanted to see it myself, I saw seventeen thousand kids there, not a smile in the whole group, very sombre. And its not music, I mean I know a guy like me you’d say couldn’t understand well I’m telling you its not music, Its frantic, frantic noise". That is what we hear on a sound sample starting off the fourth song. Probably a description a parent or local religious individual gave. It illustrates well how depressing, down, heavy, unrelenting, unforgiving and harsh Grief sounds.

In the tradition of bands like Winter and Dusk we get some of the most uncompromising and slow doom there is. In fact those bands almost sound like go-lucky happy music compared to Grief, mainly due to the sludge elements. These US Doomsters create some of the harshest sludge doom around. Both musically and lyrically the music is plain rude.

While sometimes addressing environmental issues ('Rhinoceros') or the horrors of World War II ('Fleshpress') most lyrics are very basic and brutal about a desire for death, depression, and hatred for oneself and the rest of mankind. Lyrics like "In my sleep, unsuspecting. Put a gun to my head. I hate my Pathetic Life" from the track ‘Shoot me... (I'm already dead)’ leave little to the imagination. Only on one of the last tracks, ‘Fleshpress’, does Grief show they are actually familiar with the concept of melody.

This not for those who like romantic doom-metal, nor for people who enjoy more groovy doom, this album is one big chunk of misery and will mainly appeal to the fans of "slowed down death-metal" like Winter and Dusk or sludge doom like Eyehategod and Crowbar. Brilliant stuff!

Naturecore - With Love...

NATURECORE - With Love... 12"

Tam was one of my first buddies when I moved to Hollywood. I remember just hanging out at her house with a girl from Conflict, eating spaghetti and just chatting for hours. In all that time, I think I only ever saw Naturecore play once. Seems like they were always in some sort of weird flux. They were great live. I remember her giving me a really great demo tape early on and thinking that they were the most amazing band in California.

Now, I think this record is fine. I like the songs and I can respect the sentiments. I just know that there is a better recording out there somewhere. The vocals aren't as good as the tape I had and the mastering is so totally thin, it sounds like it might have been mastered off of a cassette tape. But I still dig it. The Box is still a strong number and shows how far outside the norm the band were reaching in contrast to other anarcho type bands in So Cal that were their peers like A//Solution or Another Destructive System or even Final Conflict. The fast tracks are tight if you want to you can imagine how powerful this material was live in front of a churning audience of black clad freaks.

Ghoul - Maniaxe

Ghoul "Maniaxe" CD
[Razorback]
Holy crap! If anyone continues to compare Ghoul to Carcass they're stupid. In fact, anyone who continues to compare Ghoul to Carcass should be shot for being a lazy and incompetent fuckwad with no ear for metal, because aside from the vocals (be they nasty low growls or midrange sneers) this is a fucking blistering thrash metal attack like I haven't heard in quite a long time. The speed is there, complete with classic thrash picking patterns and hints of melody, there are tons of raging slow breaks, shredding solos, the works... Awesome. And what's even better is that this reminds me of classic American thrash - a sound that most contemporary bands have yet to successfully harness. I could definitely deal without the cheesy and unnecessary spoken vocals in "Ghoul Hunter", even if they do namedrop Anthrax and Megadeth, but pretty much all of the other songs are rippers, and the title track is so fucking badass that it practically makes up for everything. The cover of "What a Wonderful World" is pretty hilarious as well... who would've thought? The production is pretty nice. The guitar tone is damn near perfect, the bass plunks away in the background, and the drums aren't bad. They even have an 80's sort of sound to them - they're somewhat flimsy at times, but that fits believe it or not. I still think the guitars and bass need to dominate more, but it sounds very fucking good, so fuck it. The cover art is sort of reminiscent of Gwar, and the illustrations are all fucking awesome. But I honestly think the rest of the layout is weak just because it's sort of plain and doesn't fit in with the awesome lettering drawn on the front cover. I don't know. It's not a setback or anything, but it could be a hell of a lot better. Do you really need lyrical examples? All I'm gonna say is that "Boneless" combines the band's usual horror flare with skateboarding, so... choke on that shit! This is a great disc. I'd shit my pants if these guys would drop the humor and be a dead serious fucking thrash act, but whatever. I can't understand most of the vocals anyway, so I can deal with horror and gore as long as they continue to back it up with riffs like these! I really want to give this an 8/10, but weak tracks like "Ghoul Hunter" and "The End?" are a waste of time and really hinder the overall energy and impact that the rest of the album harnesses, making it a little bit frustrating to take in as a whole. This band keeps getting better and better, though. If they keep this up they'll rip everyone a new asshole or two the next time around. (7/10)

Cave Canem - Cave Canem

CAVE CANEM s/t tape
(Epistrophy)
I had never heard of the band until I got this and now I see their name a little here and there. If it's because they're very up-and-coming or if it's just that I recognize it now I don't know. Probably the former.
> Musically Cave Canem are walking somewhere in the middle of being very boring and very good. This is often not in favor of the band, and so is not the case here either, but it's not as negative as it can seem. You see, I still think it's a good tape. The production is dark and heavy and the music is powerful with your mandatory dense and hoarse vocals. Nothing to complain about there, but I can't help but feel that Cave Canem are missing that little extra to make a long lasting impression.
> Even with all that said I find their crusty, käng-ish mid-tempo hardcore good enough to make an impression, even though I would like a little more original and/or worked through songs to make that impression last longer. They have some vinyl coming so we'll see what they can do on those as this is good enough to leave a wish to hear more, but they need to shape up to make me wanna get a lot more.
> They are from Germany and sing in German, which suits the music very good. English translations are provided in the cover of this pro printed tape.
> As closing I wanna mention that they probably have one of the best (or most depressive, or most witty - you decide) song titles of all year in the track "Das licht am ende des tunnels ist ein zug" (The light at the end of the tunnel is just a train). [Krogh, November 2006]

trujaca fala:
Nice joint 7" of two very interesting political crusty punk bands from Germany that play a sort of dark and downtuned "modern" neo crust without sounding similar and without sounding too much of a clone. It´s pretty interesting, so are their semi political, weight-full lyrix and the artwork is stunning. round up this is highly recommended

Amebix - Monolith

Track List:
1. Monolith
2. Nobody's Driving
3. The Power Remains
4. Time Bomb
5. Last Will And Testament
6. I.C.B.M.
7. Chain Reaction
8. Fallen From Grace
9. Coming Home

Amebix is a band that took quite a while to grow on me. I had known about their importance in the crust and hardcore scenes, and had assumed they were another one of those aggressive Discharge-esque bands. Imagine my surprise, then, when I picked up their excellent Arise! full-length and instead of brutal, chaotic hardcore, my ears were subjected to an unholy mixture of Killing Joke, Motorhead, and Hellhammer/Celtic Frost that focused more on atmosphere than kicking your teeth in with blinding speed. The bleak, atmospheric, apocalyptic sound didn't quite click with me right away, but eventually the album became one of my favorites. After about a year of listening to it religiously, I recently picked up Monolith, their final full-length, and last official release before they disbanded. It basically picks up where the previous album left off, taking their unique musical vision even further.

It begins with a beautiful yet bleak melodic intro, complete with clean guitars, and droning, Killing Joke-esque synthesizers. It eventually bleeds into "Nobody's Driving", which sets the mood for the rest of the album. Most of the songs sound very similar to each other, but that just emphasizes the bleak, apocalyptic mood this album portrays. They manage to make it all work together as an album, from the aforementioned intro to the crushing, heavy, doomy crust of "Coming Home", as perfect an album closer as I've ever heard. They say Godspeed, You Black Emperor! is the soundtrack to "watching a city burn." Well, this is album is the soundtrack to watching the entire world burn to death, as mankind slowly destroys itself.

Musically, this is easily Amebix's most metal-oriented work. The listener is constantly assaulted with simplistic, chugging riffs and the Baron's excellent Lemmy/Cronos-esque vocals. Somehow, they manage to draw much of their influence from metal, while still remaining entirely punk rock in spirit. Occasionally, they'll break it up with clean guitars and synthesizers, which just proves how ahead of their time they were. Nowadays, such things are commonplace for doom metal and crust bands, but can you think of many (if any) other bands that were doing this in 1987? I know I can't.

I absolutely cannot recommend this enough. This is, in my opinion, the absolute best record to come out of the crust movement of the 80s. This album doesn't come recommended solely to crust fans, however. I'm sure most people involved in that scene have this already. Anyone into any sort of dark, apocalyptic music should appreciate this as well. Neurosis and Sepultura have both claimed to have been influenced by these boys, and I'm sure many of today's doom metal bands have taken some cues from them. Whether you're into metal, punk, hardcore, goth, or whatever else you can name, this record is worth checking out. Don't expect to fall in love with it at first, but given time, it just might become one of your favorites.

Album Reviews:

Rated: 85%

Written by Terrakotta on November 9th, 2007

Arise! is krieg.

Riffs disengage like artillery fire as rhythmic gallops storm the battlefield. This is sonic warfare unleashed at a time when Hardcore climaxed and Speed Metal was on the rise.

Even in moments of irritation, Amebix still managed to shatter their conceptual targets. Lower ranked “Axeman” and “Largactyl” are exactly what they set out to be: numbers to induce neurosis in the listener. What is missing however is a more effective way in accomplishing the same mission as songwriting would have been better off featuring feelings of fear, doubt and paranoia as opposed to being solely annoying for its own sake. Of course, The Baron’s series of cockney slurs in speech certainly did not provide any assistance in that matter…

In retrospect, it is side B that really puts Arise! on the map. Punk ballads “Drink and be Merry” and “The Darkest Hour” bleeds romanticised portraits of nihilism while onslaughts in between shed hope in an otherwise inevitable end by actually offering solutions to the problems at hand in anarchical and revolutionary fashion. Inspiration draws heavily from Killers in the album’s peak, “Arise!”

Vivid poetry in both lyric and music here leaves a permanent mark on history despite its slight inconsistencies, concluding the chapter to Hardcore’s initial flourishing with a then promising future in Crustcore.


Rated: 90%

Written by Doomrock on February 15th, 2006

Amebix remains today a cult favorite, after a career of releasing mostly singles and EPs with a few memorable full lengths to boast as well. Practicing what they preached, Amebix lived like squatters, selling all but their instruments to survive and living in condemned buildings. Thankfully for us, we can still hear the band but not smell them.

An important inspiration on much more successful bands like Neurosis and Sepultura, Amebix's memorable Arise! album is still a work of art. The listener can be dared not to want to nod their head to songs like "Slave" and "Fear of God" or simmer in dirges like "Drink and Be Merry". Labelled more closely as a crust punk band than a metal band, the metal sound is definitely there and the heaviness was ahead of it's time.

The less-than-polished performance and production give the album a very authentic sound, and this album is more than highly reccomended to fans of the early development of metal. The DIY ethos is all the more evident on such an album, which sounds somewhat like Venom's Welcome to Hell, albeit with a more developed style. This album is still exciting over 20 years later, and everyone is invited to slum with the kings of hard living.

Anti Product - EPs of AP

Anti-Product was a New York State-based crust punk band, formed in 1995, and disbanded in 2002. Their music featured anarchist and other political themes. Anti-Product played for the first time on March 5, 1995 at the Tazmanian Embassy in Binghamton, NY. There were four line-up changes, additions, and substitutions over the years and five tours in the US. We put out two seven inch EPs: one self-release in 1996 and a second EP on Tribal War Records in 1998. Mind Control Records put out the "Iron Columns" 2xLP compilation in 1999 and included a previously unreleased AP song. Later that year, "The Deafening Silence Of Grinding Gears" LP was released by Tribal War Records while we were out on the Primate Freedom Tour with Aus-Rotten, Mark Bruback, Fly and Sarah O'Donell. The LP was also released in Germany by Skuld Releases. That summer Anti-Product also played the semi-notorious "More Than Music Festival" in Columbus, OH dedicated to DIY feminist politics, with the likes of Kill The Man Who Questions, Red Monkey, Bread & Cuircuts, former members of Alofson and many more.
They began incorporating cello into new material in early 2000 and toured the east coast with Submission Hold that summer. A song was included on a Farm Sanctuary benefit compilation put out by the Mountain Cooperative in 2001. They played very few shows those years while most of the band relocated from upstate NY to Philadelphia. In 2002 "The EP's of AP" CD was released by Tribal War Records and included seven inches, comp tracks and a never released EP.

A//Political & Counterpoise (split)

This is a good split between two great anarcho-punk bands.












Download? - Click Here (A Political & Counterpoise (split).zip)

Contravene & Svart Aggression (split)

"Funny thing is that I'm so crazed with Contravene that I didn't realize this was a split. I mean Svart is always Swedish, but it wasn't until I listened to their side and thought - since when did Shelly start singing in Swedish - before I realized this was a split record. Duh! Thing is that it's such a good split - which pairs up two awesome bands who are very similar in sound and style. Contravene - as I said are my favorite of the season! Bringing back the classic anarchopunk style with heavy power but no crust or metal. Her voice is awesome. It's powerful and she can sing! There are also two other voices that add to the power. Musically they've got a light and powerful sound, with guitar melody that makes it super catchy. There are comparisons running through my head, but I can't quite name them. If you like your anarcho-peace punk - this band is where I'm placing all of my hope! Svart Aggression are rad because they also have female vocals - dual male-female actually. They've got a similar style of power and energy mixed with catchy melody. The accents are distinct and the male vocals are pretty gravely and the guitars are slightly heavy and metallic - and a bit more in the ultimate crust style. What an awesome split!!! These two bands rule and I'm loving the anarcho-punk!!!" (-Chris/Slug and Lettuce #66)

Contravene gives one long song of political and catchy anarchopunk with female/male vocals paired with Svart Aggression (ex-members of Operation) who give 2 songs of their style of great anarchopunk/crust with female/male vocals. Record includes a small booklet with lyrics, song explinations, and more!

Severed Head of State - Power Hazard

Severed Head of State return with nine punishing new tracks. Hard driving riffs and angry vocals give this release a real fist pumping intensity. A lot of the songs are more mid tempo in the tradition of mid period Poison Idea and other hardcore punk bands that took some cues from Motorhead. Severed Head of State have been going for ten years now, but are a band with no geographic center and with all members playing in other bands. Guitarist Todd Burdette (Tragdy, His Hero Is Gone, Warcry) delivers some really searing guitar riffs on this LP and the guitar tone is perfect for the style, biting and corrosive like battery acid. Jack Control (World Burns to Death) has always impressed me with his raw and angry vocals and well thought out lyrics. A lot of bands write about the horror of war and man's inhumanity to man just because it's what fits the music. When I read Jack's lyrics I see that he's looking beyond the black and white pictures of war victims in the history books. The atrocities are not the result of one criminal act, but of the recurring process of unrestrained power and authority run amok. The bleak lryics and their focus on oppression and atrocity are a searing reminder that there is much to be done and things will probably get worse before they get any better. I've always though bassist Kelly Halliburton (Masskontroll, Defiance, Clusterbombunit, Resist) had some of the best style in hardcore dropping in some of his crucial Discharoge style "walking" bass fills. Drummer Chris Pfeffer (Signal Lost, Storm the Tower, Scorched Earth Policy) holds it all together with some sick and precise beats. The CD version of this release also contains the Charge Ahead and Fucking Butchery 7"s as bonus tracks.

14) A.P.F

A//Political was active during the mid to late 90s. Their style is similar to that of many "peace punk" bands from the early 1980s and was heavily influenced by anarcho-punk bands like Crass and Conflict. Members were involved in the Crasshole Collective and the Anarcho-Punk Federation (A.P.F.). Many members were in other local punk bands such as Coexist, Flag Fallen and U.S. War Commission. Stas (vocals) also sang for Boston area anarcho-punk band, Krema-1.

A//Political also started the Anarcho-Punk Federation (A.P.

F.), but was stopped short because of political disagreement on key issues between members. The band, along with the Crasshole Collective, produced several communiques^[1] explaining their ideas on peace and anarchy. The band has also produced several other writings on anarchy and their political beliefs.^[2]

The Crasshole Collective also doubled as a record label. While they were mainly responsible for releasing their first album, "Planting the Seeds of Revolution," on tape and their 7" ep, "Propaganda by Deed" they also produced at least two co

mpilation tapes of various politically minded bands and a tape by Flag Fallen. The musical caliber of the comp tapes varied wildly, due to the fact that recording quality or musical talent were not used as filter criteria. Instead, the message of the bands was the focus. Crasshole was also responsible for distributing various nearly impossible to find discographies of lesser known British anarcho-punk bands from the early 80's such as The Alternative.

Crasshole also produced the little known and poorly rec

orded debut album from the now well known folk-punk band Against Me!. Only a handful of the first run were sold.
