2009-12-29T16:10:00.000-08:00

Every time I upload some music to try to share it with everyone it always fucks up. Here's another shot. It's my mp3 collection at the moment, very small, but I got a new computer so I lost all my old stuff.

Acid Witch - Witchtanic Hellucination (2008) - Sick album! Psychedelic sludge mayhem with those twist and turns. Some pretty intense shit. Best way is to drop some acid and listen to this record.

Altar of Giallo - A Bloodfeast For The Dead (2007) - Goregrind/Death Metal from Spain. Very sick album that has deep flow. Love the melody of the whole record, listen to it from start to finish - it's the only way.

Ambient Black - Demo (2009) - Loved this band the moment I heard 'em. They sludge a 16 minute song that'll tear you apart.

Antischism - Discography (1995) - The roots. Crusty, peace punk. Ya' dig?

Asunder - This is a collection of Asunder recordings, both studio and live, and includes a lyrics text document. We all know Asunder, right? They're fuckin' sick, and if you haven't heard them you should download this collection. Download includes: 'A Clarion Call', 'Works Will Come Undone', 'split w/ Like Flies On Flesh', 'split w/ Graves at Sea', and two live recordings - 'Nov. 7, 2008 - The Regent Theatre in Los Angeles' and 'Oct. 31, 2006 - The Elbo Room in San Fransisco'.

Bongzilla - Infamous potsmokers by day/heavy sludge mayhem by night. Bongzilla will rock your fucking world. Download includes: 'Amerijuanican', 'Apogee', 'Gateway', 'Imperious', 'Nuggets', and 'Stash', also two split recordings - 'split w/ Cavity' and 'split w/ Hellchild'.

Carcinogen - Kure Demo (1992) - Members of Dystopia, one of my favorites in this genre. Sick, sick, sick! Download this shit now if you haven't heard it yet. I think this was dubbed from a tape so the quality is 7/10 but you'll enjoy if you like Dystopia.

Carol Ann - This download includes: 'Demo', 'Discography', 'Score to Settle' and a collection of various recordings not so far released. Also has a folder with a bunch of scans from their 7" and tape. Excellent sound quality and scans. Members of Black Hell, so be prepared for some powerviolencesludgeattackfromhell!

Contravene - I really love Contravene, I remember their last show, it was so sick. Download this shit right now, you know you love 'em as much as I do. <3 style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">A Call To Action', 'Contravene (s/t)', 'Discography', 'Forever In Struggle', 'Prison Sells', and a 'split w/ Svart Aggression'.

D.I.E. - Demo (2003) - Death Induced Euphoria... Really sick death metal band from Louisiana. Members of Shrum and Flesh Parade are on this recording. Strongly suggest downloading this demo, it's hard to find and you'll enjoy this shit.

Dystopia - What do you want me to say? Download includes: 'Dystopia (s/t)', 'Human = Garbage' and 'The Aftermath'. Listen and learn suckers.

Flesh Parade - This band is nuts. Brutal fucking grindcore from who knows where and I don't care. They're just plain insane. Download includes: 'Hate Life (demo)', 'Kill Whitey (discography)' and 'Meathook (demo)'.

Graves At Sea - SLUDGE POWER! Vocals from the celestial dimension of hell. 'Cirrohsis' & 'Documents of Grief'. [the Asunder download includes a Graves at Sea split]

Grief - Is this the whole Grief collection? Grief, sludgeness, pot, slow... slow... slow... Including members of Disrupt - shit is off the chain. Downloads includes: '...And Man Will Become Hunted', 'Dismal', 'Grief (s/t)', 'Miserably Ever After', 'Torso' and 'Turbulent Times'.

Infinite Monolith of Slavery - Incredible band from the Bay Area in California I believe. Very intense apocolypic doom sludge obssessed with 2012, this is some shit I recommend. Download includes their 'Demo' and some unreleased tracks.

Lachrymose - Demo (1996) - Members of Dystopia and Skaven - this combination creates some intense crusty sludge metal. If you like Dystopia, listen to this shit - I like the bass. :)

Sea of Deprivation - Catharsis in Disharmony (2001) - This is the debut and final release (I once found a live recording but lost it) of what I claim to be one of the best bands to exist. Intense sludge mayhem similar to Dystopia but with much more emotion behind it. This download is a MUST.

State of Fear (4albums)(req.)

2007-12-07T15:45:00.000-08:00

Somebody requested State of Fear... here you go.

Discography Album Review:
It makes sense that Profane Existence would release this as the Minneapolis label was responsible for introducing the world to STATE OF FEAR releasing the band’s first two releases. STATE OF FEAR were a band from Minneapolis that released two eps and an LP within the span of two years. In actuality the band existed between ’94 and 2001 and cranked out some of the most righteous progressive Scandi-thrash to ever hit this side of the pond. Full metal jacket hardcore complete with liberty spikes and self-screened patches. This is the stuff that defines hardcore at the time. STATE OF FEAR sound like a cross between AUS ROTTEN and HIS HERO IS GONE from the bygone era. By today’s standards I would peg them as a cross between BLOOD SPIT NIGHTS and ARTIMUS PYLE. Great raging peace punk with a tinge of moodiness in their sound to give them depth.

Russia Bombs Finland Comp.

2007-11-30T20:21:00.001-08:00

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.)

2007-11-30T15:02:00.000-08:00

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

2007-11-30T14:50:00.000-08:00

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.

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

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.

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

2007-11-25T19:56:00.001-08:00

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)

2007-11-25T18:26:00.000-08:00

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.

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

2007-11-25T17:09:00.000-08:00

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 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

2007-11-23T21:44:00.000-08:00

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%

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

2007-11-23T18:42:00.001-08:00

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.

Contravene & Svart Aggression (split)

2007-11-23T18:20:00.000-08:00

"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

2007-11-23T09:09:00.000-08:00

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.

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.

NOOTHGRUSH - Failing Early, Failing Often

Slap A Ham( 2000 )

"Some of the most tortured sludgecore ever recorded! This collection of
studio sessions from 1995-1997 features 18 slow, painful dirges that
creep at geologic pace, but keep the track lengths pretty short (for this
sort of music, anyways). Released on the now-defunct Slap A Ham, this is a
posthumous collection of early recordings from eight sessions at
Trainwreck Studios, all of which is seminal hellish doom/sludge, less "swinging"
than the likes of Eyehategod or Weedeater, but not as abstract as Khanate
and Corrupted. Comp songs, their Slap A Ham Embraced By The Anti-Self 7",
split tracks, and the legendary Kashyyyk demo. This stuff will damage the
structural integrity of any building it's played in. Absolutely essential
for fans of burning witch and crossed out as well assunn O))) and
unearthly trance...".

REVIEW FROM IN MUSIC WE TRUST: "One way to appreciate music is to
understand the meter, or "time," it is performed in. For example, it might be "2/4
time," or "3/4 time" or "4/4 time." In the case of NOOTHGRUSH the music
is performed in "geological time." That's right, this is the band whose
riffs are so plodding that continental drift, by contrast, appears downright
hasty. Calling this music "slow" is like calling The Beatles "moderately
successful"-it's a definite understatement. "Failing Early, Failing
Often" is a posthumous collection of many (most? all?) of the early recordings
from these seminal and cranium-cracking lords of sludge. It includes songs
from several comps, their Slap A Ham 7", their split with BLACK ARMY JACKET,
and their "Kashyyyk" demo; which to this day remains one of my favorite
slowcore releases ever and is still able to undermine the structural integrity
of any building it is played in. Obviously influenced by bands like Grief,
NOOTHGRUSH, however, remain an unmistakable and vital band whose audio
carnage will be sorely missed (rumor has it the band was forced to
disband by the government who was tired of getting seismic readings in the 6
range every time NOOTHGRUSH played). In addition to all that, they are the
only band I have had a conversation with that included the words "Chewbacca
action-figure-holding bandolier." In the early 1990s the birth of seminal sludgelords Noothgrush laid to waste to the SF Bay Area. This trio spewed forth their molten musical magma over a span of eight years and carved a path of influence that resounds in the
quagmire of modern day slowcore. For the first time ever, their earliest
molasses-paced epics have been assembled on one disc. The collection
compiles material from their debut Slap A Ham seven-inch, as well as
split releases with Dead Bodies Everywhere, Agents Of Satan, and Black Army
Jacket, plus countless compilation tracks and their legendary Kashyyyk
demo!

If you dig the cranium-crushing sounds of Grief, the Melvins, or
Eyehategod, then you're prepared for only a fraction of the heaviness that
Noothgrush is prepared to deliver!

Noothgrush do more than play sludge. They are sludge. Everything about
this band oozes and crawls. Their music is as punishing and it is precise as
it is plodding. Lyrically they take concepts and ideas that in the hands
of lesser artists may seem silly (Star Wars) or overused (hate and
loathing) and they discover existential sociological and philosophical insight.
From one point of view in the extreme underground Noothgrush are hideously
deformed if for no other reason than they travel a route far less
taken; but from another perspective, and certainly one that I share, their
deformity is actually uniqueness and allows for the breeding of distinction. Y'see
there are only a handful of really stellar sludge bands around and Noothgrush
are among the best." -Jeb Branin, The Crass Menagerie"

Beer Bottles and Slides
When will we find the end of the road where the street signs change their names and the street lights are all gone… and we walked together as the walls told us stories like a journal of the streets telling times of pain and joy and times of love and hate! But we walked holdin’ hands w/ our dogs by our sides… I whistle as you humm to a song stuck in our heads we shared a laugh as I looked in yer eyes. I remember all the times I watched yer back as you filled yer bag with the bulk bin mangos and carob almonds and we walked to the dumpster! Under the moonlight and dug around like pirates digging for treasure under the x on the map!!
It’s like sittin around a campfire playin guitar singin songs, drinkin wine. Telling stories like the walls and I sit here thinking about times friend have told me stories, of drunk love on rooftops and gazin at the stars almost fallin off the roof this road is really long and we haven’t found the end the name is lost and its like a tale of a tale of a friendship that have come and gone.

Don’t be afraid…
Don’t be afraid we will have a place to call our own, working together in happiness sharing everything growing our own food, eatin together we wont give it up this idea is too good
Help raisin kids so they have no idea of hate, loving everything for what it is havin imagination so the world will be a better place, we won’t have to buy everything we’ll just make it out of your trash..
Don’t be afraid to dream and make it a reality, we all have a crucial part in this, quit our jobs, travel the summer, teach each other things that we should all know in the end, expand the web of friends, forget what time it is, rise with the sun and sleep with the moon, hug your friends and smile with them, holdin hands and riding bikes and singin songs together and never give up, live simple lives, feastin every night celebration is necessary life is like a forest spin the web spin the web!!!

Acoustic
As I look up into the sky, I close my eyes and I wonder why. Why we’re feeling like we don’t belong. So let’s go running in the rain or hop on a freight train. That takes us on a non stop trip to nowhere. Cause when I look into moonlight eyes I see all that is good in me. Is this what we’re working towards. Is it songs of liberation and equality, or anthems of emotion how about you and me. It’s these songs of love. It’s the voice that echos in my head like wind chimes or beautiful music. And gives me inspiration and hope. It’s fighting with the dogs for space to lay. Or ridin’ our bikes around town everyday. And holding hands as we smile at each other stopping traffic. We gotta believe that the sun is gonna rise tomorrow and be brighter than it ever has. And where will you be, standing right next to me. And we jump not knowing where we’ll land.

Rockit!
When yer walkin alone and yer only friends are the sky above yer head and the ground beneath yer feet. When the cars passin by leave a ringin in head and you start to hum a song about the way it used to be..
About the nite we sat and watched the stars with nothing more than love and an acoustic guitar and we sang all nite straight into the morning light and watched another sun rise together. When yer footsteps sound like drummin thunder, when each heavy step feels like yer sinkin in, this concrete becomes quicksand now you cant run away from this place that slams its doors with open arms..
Why can’t I breathe is it the dirty air or are my lungs restricted and my heart restrained? When do we get to stop and smell the flowers and watch the dreams we’re fightin for become everyday life when yer peddling yer bike along the street and there’s nowhere left to go as the sun sets these dreams fill my head with the colors I never seen, nothing can stop this fire in my heart!!!

As the clock ticks…..
Lets go have a cup of coffee and smoke on the porch and have a talk or should I say bullshit or shit talk! Cause thats all theres left to do, where else is there to go and where do I really want to be, I don’t know ooooh
Friendships are really hard to understand cause if you leave you don’t know what you’re coming back to but we come back and laugh and talk about the past and future plans that come to mind and do what we always have done and doooo

Info on Jobbykrust

HISTORY:
Jobbykrust started in the winter of 1990, formed in a large
housing estate on the outskirts of North Belfast. At the time
punk was a way of escaping the sectarianism and bigotry
prevalent throughout Northern Ireland. Being in a band
allowed you to get away from the hate filled housing estates
and small minded towns and mix with like minded people for
whom what religion you were was an irrelevancy. Through
the music culture an alternative lifestyle was offered. This,
without a doubt, was a major attraction in Belfast at the time
and still is to this day.
By 1990, punk in Belfast had gone into a sort of lull; bands
such as Pink Turds in Space and Toxic Waste had been and
gone. The scene was centred around the old Warzone Centre
(a.k.a. Giros), a dilapidated building in Belfast City Centre. It
was here the first Jobbykrust gig took place in February 1991
– as a last minute addition to an all day gig. The gig took
place on a day of protests against the first Gulf War. Then, as
now, no one listened and the war went ahead. Nothing really
changes I suppose. Once the demonstration was over the gig
got underway and lasted well into the night. Jobbykrust
played poorly, being out of tune, out of time and full of first
gig nerves. However the crowd was that drunk nobody
seemed to notice, a regular feature of Belfast gigs.
During 1991 two demos were recorded; a self titled one and
“Mary Ate A Little Lamb” Both had about 50 copies made
but after these were gone no more were produced. Both demos were extremely poor – okay
for a drunken laugh but certainly not for general consumption. The recording quality on a
four track wasn’t great, the guitars painfully out of tune, and the general sound poor.
Frustrated at the lack of gig opportunities, (the Warzone Centre had temporarily closed and
was moving location), Jobbykrust, along with other local bands and people started “No
Name Productions”. This was a gig collective designed solely to set up gigs for local bands
in a small pub, The Pennyfarthing, in Belfast City Centre. The gigs were usually every two
weeks and all proceeds went back into the collective or towards various causes. The gigs
were marked with enthusiasm, freshness, and positivity. Many people were involved and
all contributed. They were good times filled with hope and optimism.

From this time and right until the end, Jobbykrust
were always in an extremely poor financial state.
“Jobbyskint” as it was joked. If it wasn’t for amps
and drums provided at local practice facilities, there
would have been no band. Often this was not
enough however, and practices were cancelled
through not having a bass guitar, drum sticks,
cymbals, or not having the bus fare to get there. At
one practice, lacking drumsticks, a futile attempt
was made to find useable sticks from nearby trees.
On another occasion, the only bass guitar able to be
obtained was a borrowed fretless bass with no
strings. Needless to say the practice never happened.
Money problems were undoubtedly the reason
Jobbykrust did so few gigs – and only managed to
make it to mainland Europe three times.
The punk scene in Belfast really took off in 1992
and 1993. There were many people, many bands,
and a constant influx of touring bands. Consequently
there were many gig opportunities. In 1992 two
demos were recorded; “Naivety or Hope” and “We
Starve the Starving”. Both were widely distributed
and later released on vinyl. These demos were the
best of the early songs and were professionally
recorded.
During 1993 Jobbykrust never practised or gigged once, preferring instant and mindless
hedonism to the constant effort of trying to keep a band going. A stagnant feeling had set
in, mainly due to a couple of unsuccessful attempts to get to Europe and frustration at yet
another gig in Belfast. Outside Belfast, Northern Ireland was really crap for gigs.
Jobbykrust had played to empty halls in Kilkeel and Antrim, and twice to an open mouthed
disbelieving crowd in Ballyclare, a small market town north of Belfast. Nothing much
seemed to be happening south of the border so gigs there were never attempted. The scene
in Belfast was still vibrant but there was a limit to the amount of times the same songs
could be played to the same people.
1994 brought with it fresh impetus. Four songs were recorded for a split 7” called “Songs
About Shit Things” on Grinding Madness records. A short Irish tour called the “Daniel
O’Donnell Must Die” tour was embarked upon in May with other local band Bleeding
Rectum. The posters for this caused outrage and made the local newspapers (click for press
clippings), especially when Daniel O’Donnell (a popular local country singer) actually
received a death threat from a Loyalist crank. This threat was completely unconnected to
the tour which was meant as a harmless joke but nevertheless showed how easily things
can be misconstrued.

Finally in August and September a European tour (to
Germany and Belgium) finally happened with
Bleeding Rectum. The tour was in many ways a
weird experience. It started with news of the IRA
ceasefire gleaned from newspapers whilst on the
ferry from Dover to Calais. Everyone at the gigs was
asking about this and couldn’t understand the
cautious, “let’s wait and see” response.
Unfortunately this reaction proved correct as the
ceasefire was subsequently broken before being
reinstated. People were unable to understand that the
problems in Northern Ireland run very deep, and
ceasefires, however welcome, don’t remove the
ingrained bitterness and hatred that permeates
Northern Irish society. The gigs themselves were
good, though some of the venues certainly wouldn’t
have been the band’s first choice. The highlight
however was a gig on a barge in Bruges with 11
other bands.
Returning home totally invigorated and determined
to get to Europe again it wasn’t until March 1996
that another tour finally happened – to France,
Holland, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic and
Switzerland. Just prior to this, songs were recorded
for a split LP with Viktors Hofnarren from
Switzerland to be released on Maximum Voice Records. The tour itself was with Swiss
band Vide Psychique and was a complete success. Not even spending seven hours at the
Swiss border getting strip searched, or a 30 hour drive home from Zurich to Belfast, spoilt
it. The highlight was undoubtedly the gig in Lodz, Poland. The complete passion and
enthusiasm shown by the people there was an amazing experience, particularly in contrast
to Belfast where cynicism was slowing creeping in.
The remaining period until it all ended in summer 1997 was a very busy time. Songs were
written and recorded for a full length LP “The Descent of Man” and another split LP, this
time with Blofeld. A short Irish tour with bands Headache & Vide Psychique was
undertaken in February followed by a final tour to France and Switzerland in June 1997.
Back home, the scene in Belfast in 1997 seemed to consist more and more of the type of
punk with nothing to offer except cynicism and alcohol fuelled nihilism. Jobbykrust came
in for criticism from these people for religion, social background and for being “crusties”.
(“Jobbykrust - Even your flees have flees” was written on the Warzone Centre’s toilet wall
– exemplifying the mindless criticism as well as woeful spelling displayed by these
people). The irony was Jobbykrust always contained members from both sides of the
religious divide and from different social backgrounds. It was as classless and anti sectarian
as was possible. These “punks”, whilst a negative presence, were nothing more than a

distraction and Belfast maintained a small but vibrant scene centred around the Warzone
Centre staffed by dedicated volunteers.
In the end Jobbykrust had run its course and ran out of steam. The last gig was on July 3rd
1997 at the Warzone Centre. No decision was made to call it a day, it just happened. Seven
years was long enough and it was time to move on. Money problems meant there were
many missed opportunities, including an offered tour of the USA, but overall, despite
financial restrictions, enough was achieved to walk away content and satisfied.

Blowing the shit out of someone won’t
achieve freedom
Just more fear and hate
than there already is
Do you think a crawling whimpering bloodied
mass
of broken flesh and bone
That once was human is right?
Is this your idea
of a strike for freedom?
Whose freedom? Whose freedom?
Bigotry builds walls
it doesn’t open doors
Fuck your bigotry,
fuck your bigotry
People shitless with fear
hide behind their god
Fuck your churches
fuck your chapels
Blowing up someone
won’t make anyone free
Fuck your violence,
fuck your war

To Live And Not Survive
In streets upon streets
of isolation
People sit boxed up
watching television
Lonely they watch
other people’s lives
Silently frightened
and dehumanised
Sedated by TV
there’s fuck all else to do
Drenched in complacency
there’s nothing they can see
Carrying on regardless
hating their own lives
Hoping one day to live
and not just to survive

Die-Cycle
Why don’t you ever stop to think
That the world’s population may become
extinct
The process is aided
by most things we do
To help save our planet it’s up to you
As you sit eating beef burgers in your teak
armchair
Do ever stop to think
what put them there?
The wooden fencing
around your home
The mahogany unit
that’s ever so nice
Does it ever occur to you
what it might take?
To produce one beef burger
on your plate?
It takes around 55 square feet
To produce the grazing
for that meat
Bulldozers tear and rip up the land
To satisfy the western worlds’ greedy
demands
The Indian government revealed
3 millions acres of land
are lost each year
The rate of destruction
is now so severe
That by the year 2000
three quarter million we fear
Of plant and animal species
will no longer be here
Tropical rainforests dispense
Valuable materials for medicines
Removal of essential resources, shelter,
food, and drink
Have forced nomadic tribes to become
almost extinct
Alpine forests control the flow of water to
surrounding plains
When trees are felled
the flow is disturbed
And flooding may result again
In the past decade three million people were
affected
By flood and forests being neglected
Floods are rapidly on the increase
A stop must be made these disasters must
cease
And we are the problem
not the solution
Our greed may
be obstructing evolution
We’ll no longer have a world
and it’s really no surprise
Mans evil lust for greed is engineering his
own demise

Once Upon A Time…
Children grin with relish
as they bite into their meat
Not understanding the link between the
animal and what they eat
Cows they’re told in stories roam freely
across the land
Patronised and desensitised
how can they understand?
The slaughter continues
the reality’s never mentioned
What the child is eating doesn’t register on its
mind
The farmyard in the story
still retains its idyllic glory
The factory farm stays hidden
so the child remains blind
Factory farmed dinner
for factory farmed people
Factory forced slaughter
for factory produced minds
Factory farmed murder
for factory farmed people
Factory forced slaughter
for desensitised minds

Suffocated By Tarmac
Houses going up
rich man’s mansions
Eyesore obscenity money
mans cesspit
White marks of exclusitivity
Malignant growth on society
Barbed wire fences divide the land
Concrete beauty tarmac sand
The smell of the land mixed with the vulgarity
of exhaust fumes
And the money and greed rape Mother
Nature
Selfish exploitation
spoils the landscape
Green meadow graveyards
and asphalt streets
A trench in the ground
gargles concrete mix
And the world is slowly being suffocated by
tarmac
Gasps for air in a smog filled sky
High rise apartments
for those who gain
Peace and tranquillity fades and dies
And so we’ve got this earth that we’ve turned
to a shell
Inherited heaven and
we’ve made it hell
Torn to shreds all
that’s peaceful and calm
In exchange for
money profits for man

Green Cheque
They’ve caught on,
seen the pound signs
The profit possibility
has been registered
Not content with destroying for gain
The businessmen
see another market
Having given birth to
this throwaway society
Fucking this planet,
fostering its rape
Their greedy hands
are now recycling
Their greedy plans
are in recycling
Concerned with bottle banks
Or fat cheques in Swiss banks
Plot the profit margins
From ozone friendly bargains
Their hands are in both tills
Bank accounts, landfills
Plastics, no CFC’s,
Profits and business schemes
They recycle millions
to many more millions
Recycle their millions,
their profit is millions

R.U.Safe?
Can we trust the keepers
of the police?
Can we trust the R.U.Safe Police?
Dear constable,
big men in armoured vans
Upholding law and order in our lands
Crisp green shirt bounces
out of the truck
You’re questioned in a busy street he doesn’t
give a fuck
Where are you going and
where have you been?
Was harassment and humiliation appointed
by the queen?
His uniform is force,
his uniform is power
His uniformed opinion,
bigotry and nothing more
The cop gets satisfaction;
he finds pleasure in his role
Gets to hassle undesirables,
the ones who don’t fit the mould
His uniform is power;
he’s a corrupt keeper of the peace
At our (funeral) service,
it’s the R.U.Safe police…

Action Men Are Bastards
I remember I was ten
Playing with my action men
Having so much fun
With my toy gun
Now I’m in Belfast
Will this day be my last?
Action men are bastards
I just want to go home
I remember I was ten
Playing houses with my friends
Learning to be a grown up
With a teapot and a cup
Now I’m either in the kitchen
Or doing a bit of stitchin’
Reality is a nightmare
This can’t be all there is

We Starve the Starving
We create their poverty
so we create our wealth
We create their famine
for our gluttony and greed
We give the Third World aid,
aid being a loan and not a grant
We give the Third World aid,
aid being a loan
with high interest rates
So they owe us lots of money,
we’ve created the Third World debt
The aid that we give them,
we give to their rich elites
Then sell armaments to their elites so they
can keep the starving down
Every year one trillion dollars is spent on the
military
One third of all Third World Aid
is military aid
Every four week the Third World spends £50
billion on armaments which we supply
And so we give them T.N.C.’s that destroy
thousands of jobs
Which destroys local industry but at least we
give them assembly lines
We Starve the Starving
Then come the stinking industries that we no
longer want
We set them up in the Third World where
safety regulations
aren’t so strict
Union Carbide, Remember Bhopal, Union
Carbide, Remember Bhopal
Remember Bhopal
The Third World is just our factory
Producing and exporting food for us, amidst
their starvation
Producing luxuries for us,
like coffee, tea and tobacco
On land which should
be growing food
They die because
they don’t have any food
Whilst we worry
about too much caffeine
So now we’ve fucked them up
we portray them as
begging and dependent
It’s this dependency
which makes us rich
It’s this dependency
which makes them poor
Famine is a media bonanza,
plenty of journalistic awards
in Africa
Plenty of ways yet,
to profit from their hell

Quality Control
I am your outcast,
victimised for your machine
A dirty rusty broken part,
spoiling your little dream
To you I am a cancer,
a malignant growth of pus
Just cos I see through
your lies, deceit, mistrust
You want me to fall in line
or quietly disappear
I just can’t understand
what it is you fear
Anarchy in one respect,
liberation of the mind
Your values are all shit to me,
I’ve left them all behind
I’ve risen above your standards,
your codes of dress and thought
With all your money and your power my mind
cannot be bought
Your schools are just factories
Which churn out products
neat and pure
Budding Hitlers in quality control
Check you to make sure
Mindless compliance the qualification
Of obedient slaves
who’ve finished education
Got a new brain at secondary school
Now a model citizen
and a five star fool
Destroyed at maturity,
corrupted from birth
Scared youthful innocence,
what was it worth?
Never given a chance to question,
to develop and to learn
Never allowed to think too much,
got nothing in return
They fucked with little Billy’s mind
Destroyed him through and through
Took away his hopes and dreams,
disillusioned as up he grew
Now he sits alone and cries watching his TV
He’s just another victim
of this stinking society
You stem our identities with your churches
and your schools
You restrict our freedom
with all your stupid rules
You give us no right to choose about what we
want to do
You just dictate and mess with our minds ‘till
we haven’t got a clue

Roleplay
From an early age
we are condemned
With rituals, actions
and expressions
We dress boys in blue,
girls in pink
And teach them what
to fucking think
Stereotypes in the family home
Products in the family home
Identities cooked
over the moral stove
Roles and values superimposed
Boys must fight, girls must cry
Follow all orders, never ask why
Obedience is the key to success
Appropriate roles are
the key to success
Find your slot and fit right in
Sit tight and smile when
you fit right in
Women in the kitchen
men out to work
Mummy making dinner,
Daddy making sweat
Dog sitting in the garden
Car shitting in the drive
A number on the front door
And children breeding zits
Happy adolescents in happy homes
Grandparents shipped
off to senility homes
Father at the TV, Mother at the sink
Children arrive back from school
Now knowing what to think
Resting in the apathy room
Dreams dying in the living room
Fucking in the bedroom
Fucked off with your fucked up life

Poisoned From Birth
Born into this squalid
little religious ghetto
Thrust to the place of God
and branded like cattle
Another sheep to flock to the
loving shepherd in the sky
Another fucking victim,
another rat to die
Off to school he goes
to get an education
Among his own religion
he’s kept in segregation
Always with the one side he
soon starts to hate the other
Ignorance stimulates the fear
puts brother against brother
When the isolation stops
the bigotry will cease
When the people open their minds perhaps
there will be peace
When the invisible walls come down and the
bonfire flames go out
Categories for man will stop
no longer “taig” or “snout”
The colours on the kerbstones intensify his
bigotry
He walks the streets, still a kid,
force-fed with hatred from all sides
Under this influence he has
no option but to follow
It’s the only way he knows
It’s easier to hate than it is to love
It’s easier to fight when provoked
Too often kids take the easy path
too often their minds
are poisoned from birth
Too often the flags are used
to conceal the bitterness as loyalty
Too often churches and chapels
are used to cover up the hate
Too often blood is spilt
over politics and God
A victim of the environment
A casualty of segregation
It’s little wonder Billy hates
Amid the devastation
Poisoned from birth, born with hate without
the right to choose
Poisoned from birth and made to fight, the
other side must lose
Poisoned from birth and made to wear your
colours like a man
Poisoned from birth poisoned from birth can’t
you understand?

Abattoir of War
Now you’re never coming back
You got blown to shreds
fighting for your government
Your body lies decaying,
stenching of death
The maggots feed on
your glorified corpse
The reality is you are forgotten
The fantasy was the war was right
The nightmare is just cast aside
You lie alone in eternal night
Your soul still walks the battlefield
In death you still sense fear
In silence now you still
hear the screams
The fading reality of tortured dreams
Why can’t people wise up to the brutal reality
of war?
Then they won’t have any armies to fight for
their politics and profits
Then they’ll have no one willing to die for
their egotistical pride
With no armies to fight,
there can’t be a war
As all war needs opposing sides
Yet still through years of education
People flock to the abattoir of war
With a false sense of duty and fucked up
values
They will kill someone they don’t even know
They will kill without though without
compassion without guilt
To satisfy their duty to their flag
Conditioned with patriotism
they have little choice
God, Queen and Country lead them to their
grave

Pay No More Than
Vanity boosts their want.
Vanity boosts their need.
Vanity boosts their status.
Vanity boosts their greed.
Pay no more
than a couple of quid,
total hypocrisy what they did
Killed a culture
knocked it dead.
Why’s it seven quid instead?
The border’s off
and it doesn’t say,
the couple of quid
you used to pay
Replaced by labels and barcode.
Is punk dead or was it sold?
This lyric sheet
cannot be true when
what you say and what you do
Are totally different,
a lie, a fake.
Punk means give and
you fucking take.
Very anti establishment,
very big and brave.
Say it’s for rebellion,
commercial slave.
Fuck your vanity superstars.
You preach a hatred for society
but gain from its laws
Fuck your greed.
What you need
and what you want are
on a totally different scale
Fuck yourself pathetic wrench.
Piss in your name and
your pathetic little game
Fuck your clique,
bloody cheek.
This isn’t punk it’s greed.

Nuclear Wet Dream
A mother clutches her
son in desperation
Amid the rubble
and fallout radiation
Praying to a god
who isn’t even there
To save her son
and an earth wiped bare
Her mind fogs up
with mental devastation
As she looks over
the futile desolation
Drops her head
with an anguished sigh
Rubs her eyes and begins to cry
Reality for her is an evil subnormalty
The corpses lie drowned
among their own morality
Pawns of slaughter
dead from the game
The body bags signal
a young man’s fame
Honour is the cause
and glory is the fate
Controlled by the rich
through greed and hate
Medals as proof that wars all right
Man is macho he was made to fight
Well the bunker opens
and the rich come out
The queen leads the way
with an orgasmic shout
Kicking away the bodies of the poor
Who died at the foot
of the bunker door
Their fingers grasping
at the metal frame
Protecting those who were to blame
For the war all wars
in my memory will last
War is obscene
it’s stupid and crass

No More Bigotry
In your ignorant ghettos of hate
The Shankill and Falls
you congregate
Preaching your loyalty
with blood on your hands
Loyalty to what I don’t understand
You’re wrecking this province you say you
love
Killing its people you say you love
What kind of obscenity
is taking place
That your love is covered
with flags of hate
Still in Northern Ireland this hellhole stinks of
senseless pride
No passive retaliation, all you can hope to do
is hide
This confusion in your head is a catalyst for
death
Can’t you understand can’t you fucking see?
I’ve nothing but contempt for you murderers
of morality
You’re destroying our land,
can’t you understand?
Killing our visions with
the blackness of your life
Narrow and pitiful in your bigotry
Isolated with hate, surrounded with colours
for which you say you’d die
The IRA have twisted minds,
the UDA have too
Anyone who kills for peace hasn’t got a
fucking clue
The IRA and UDA
are wrecking people’s lives
Broken homes Daddy’s dead Daddy’s dead
Daddy’s dead
For every person who takes one side another
will lose their life
For every person who stands defiant that’s
one less hateful heart
It mightn’t immediately change this wrong but
it’s a fucking start
One less hateful heart
it’s a fucking start
Call it naivety I call it hope

Terminal Ambition
Violence and war, hatred and bigotry
Mankind is greed,
see it in our history
From the death camp at Auschwitz to the
graves of Vietnam
From the spearhead to the bullet to the bomb
to napalm
Aggression in warped up minds contorted
with hate
Primitive macho fighting
controls our fate
Why does this fighting continue?
Why do you hate each other?
Why does this misery
go on and on?
Why do people waste
their lives this way?
Human values are a thing of the past
Selfish greed how long must it last?
People hurting others
for their own gain
Money and ambition
make them insane
From the body pits of Belsen to Hiroshima
radiation
From civil war to world war
to mass extermination
Greed and paranoia
the evil lust for power
Won’t end until we squirm in a nuclear fallout
shower
It’s stupid to die over greed
We can share all that we need
The land you fought for will
be there when you’re gone
It’s not ours to own just to live on.

Punished
Screaming
Never really stops
Ever

God Is Love
When christened the waters
washed my mind
For them to dirty with their
Christian lies
For them to fill with fairy tales
Like man goes to heaven
after he dies
For God is love,
Jesus loves the little children
That’s why they lie starving
all over the globe
That’s why a little baby
is born deformed
That’s why a little girl
is raped and killed
God loves us all, yes everyone
Every little smiling face
under the sun
In Ethiopia, Bhopal, and Iran
Bodies lying rotting show
his love for man
Away in a manger
no crib for a bed
Our dear Lord Jesus smiles
down on the millions dead
Violent death, torture,
pain and disease
Starvation, slaughter,
blown off knees
Mass murder, earthquakes,
bodies crushed and torn
Poison, epidemics,
disasters man has borne.

In The Shadow Of…
Standing in the shadow of
the house of the regime
The nightmare sold to us as
some utopian dream
Standing in the shadow
of a fairytale cruciform
Baptised in sin which they create
From the day that you’re born
Standing in the shadow of a 50 megaton
nuclear device
A four-minute warning and the world’ll be
burning
Welcome to the land of ice
Standing in the shadow of a
culture which feeds on greed
Produce and consume,
bond and breed
Or bleed, bleed, bleed
Standing in shadows,
striking at walls
Waiting for them to fall
Alone in contempt,
consider me exempt
I shall not bow anymore
Standing in darkness
reaching for light
Knowing I have to fight
Alone in my fear, I will not adhere
To this stinking totalitarian shit
I refuse to bow
I shall not kneel
I refuse to stand
In the shadow that conceals
Life

Caves
From the caves to the mud-huts
From the mud-huts to the tribes
The tribe build the cities
The cities build empires
From empires come ideas of war
From the war comes the gun
From the gun comes the bomb
And the bomb brings destruction
From destruction to the caves

Dim and Confused
Supervised, Desensitised
Patronised, Dehumanised
Do I fit your jigsaw?
Do I fit your pretty picture?
Do I sit back and accept it?
Shall I sit back and enjoy it?
Your bullshit lifestyle,
worshipping authority
Happy and obedient,
with mental enslavement
Suckling of society,
embracing its mundanity
Glossy eyed fantasy from the cathode ray
deity
Living in your shadow
trying to make a life
Avoiding your system
whilst trying to survive
Giving a fuck when
no one gives a shit
Force me into a role,
which will never ever fit
Trying to take my life from me
is all you want to do
Trying to take my life
to create another you
Happy with your life of insignificance
Living everyday of total irrelevance
Happy at your work
content with banality
Happy at your home with your nuclear war
fear family
Justify and follow legitimise and bow
Know your place know your position
Create your lonely
hopeless situation
Nameless people
ignorant and happy
Concrete grins moronic with apathy
Watching staring no creativity
Ignorant ignored solemn and bored
Pathetic in your existence
lonely in your conscience
Futile reasons never said
follow the path until your'e dead
Pretentious and make believe
Brought up to lie and deceive
Complacent and stone cold
Obey everything you are told
Dim and confused, cheated abused
Backdrop world of black and grey
Nothing ever happens day after day
Living your life as
you’re expected to
Living your life the way
you think you want to
Following the lifestyle
that’s planned for you
Dim and confused with
fuck all you can do

The Eleventh Hour
Venture forth into the land of fear
This is the world of discarded dreams and
moral chains
Freedom is a theory practised
by none and understood
by only a few
Mankind have tethered themselves
to the ritual of war
w ith their own bleeding veins
In the name of our
self infatuated deities
we march proudly
across the battlefields
Crawling from the trench
we crawl to our graves
A celebration of barbed wire
and gun powder
Standing before the icons
tears in our eyes
A glimpse of divinity to which
we can never aspire
Do not be afraid
for in the final hour
Our deaths will be sweet in the hands of our
fathers
or by weapons of our brothers
we shall depart
Hell will be the ultimate gratification
Our condition is not
conducive to saintliness
It’s the eleventh hour my friend
and the time for rejoicing
United in a celebration
of our own damnation
An orgy of murder, rape and torture
The final generation of lost innocence
For there will never be another
The clock is ticking my friend
It’s keeping me awake
but I don’t care anymore

The Illusion
Immersed in a world that
is but an illusion
Our lives shaped and created
by the seduction of the banal
Mesmerised by invention
recycled and sold
Obsessed with the new
discarding the old
Endless conveyer belts spewing items of
convenience
A convenience for industry,
profit and greed
We buy the control
that we are subject to
Driven by craving for
what we don’t need
Does your dream have a price
or are you bought?
Does freedom have a price?
Can you pay?
The strife on your television
is so far away
Yet the lifestyle it sells
is available today
Life is cheap when based on gain
Your existence merely measured
by what you attain
Hunger for tokens from
the process of progress
Toil for the privilege
of consuming this lie
A nurtured reliance on
a life of convenience
A reliance on that
which has no worth

Welcome To The Brave New World
Welcome to the brave new world
Suckle from the machine
and call it freedom
A lifetime of subservience
disguised as tradition
Enslavement your birthright,
your moral, your creed
Mass sedation, mass manipulation
To accept atrocity
and mass extermination
Meat on the farm,
flesh on the battlefield
The farmers a lunatic,
the cattle bleed well
It’s for what they were bred,
fattened and fed
Shuffling along from the trench,
lied to and led
Pray for deliverance,
myth of holy benevolence
Each new dawn kneel
and wait for the lead

The Punk Scene...
The punk scene must be destroyed when it
becomes a refuge for the scum that no one
else wants.

Scared
Human hopelessness
fouling concrete
neon arteries
Polluting and infecting
a dark decaying civilisation
Bent on self-torment and
neurotic fucked up escapism
Chemical culture of self remorse
Drowning its sorrows
in self destruction
In a posthumous celebration
of human waste
Mindless masses pushing futilely forward to
their own extinction
Whilst scared of living
and scared of dying
And living for tomorrow
because today is shit

A Revolution of Thought
The cycle of turmoil
of empires rising and falling
Revolutions give nothing
except new faces of power
Which hide behind masks
and have many voices
Yet still the agenda
remains unchanged
And all that existed before
is raised to the ground
A path is always cleared
for the new regime
Yet nothing ever changes
we serve just as before
And as the books lie burning
The wheels of intolerance
are turning
The poet and philosopher
are crushed into dust
And those who dared object
hang from the gallows
Children play in the streets
amidst the decay
We need a revolution of thought
Blind, confined,
to ignorance we’re consigned
The march of ideas are
jackboots on your face
And survival shall depend
upon knowing your place
Nothing changes
we serve just as before

Fact Becomes Fiction
Who will be left to tell
of the past as it was
and not as it’s written
Slipping into the forgotten
the suffering of generations before
Aushwitz, Dachau,
Treblinka, Bushenwald
Burning bodies
The echoes of genocide
grow faint to the ears
and the dust of the dead
has scattered
Blown to a wind, a wind of change that
carries with it our outrage
Shall one day what lies behind us
be nothing more than a fiction?
History revised and altered
by those who would rather
us seen and not heard
Memorials decayed
neglected by memory
A green field grows where
a triskaele once flew
The candles burn no longer
and all tears have been shed
For those who shall
never have existed
This could be your future
Dark building on the horizon
Chimneys vomiting smoke
Ash falls as if it’s rain
As we step onto the train
Our freedom is fading away
This could be our future
unless we stand up

Declaration of Independence
Stripped of rights, the right of choice
A doctrine of oppression
silences your voice
Life so sacred
yet by whose decree?
Wombs demanded by Christ
for his father
Bodies, lives,
Freedom relinquished
Children of the lord
born at liberty’s’ expense
Contraception condemned
for man’s seed is sacred
Woman but machines
providing god’s conscripts
Subjugation by conception
the command of the creator
Creating mindlessly without respect for the
lives of those who bear
Life your choice with no regret
Abortion your right with no apology
Our bodies are our own
we’re not the body of Christ
At the right hand of god
sit the far right
We need sexual freedom
free of guilt and religion
Removal of blame
without preconditions
Or would you rather be responsible
for the death and suffering of women
Dying in the gutters due
to back street abortions
A coat hanger culture created
by religious extremity
An outcome unthinkable
a social obscenity
And if man were to bleed and
able to bear child
A right of termination
would not be in question
A policy of suppression with
man the aggressor
Ruling on a throne built
from his daughter’s bones

Crutches
Our tolerance of authority
has led to our oppression
The march of time is monument only
to our continual regression
And still we suffer the labours of the faceless
and unwise
Realisation not subjugation,
their tyranny of lies
Throw away these crutches.
Do you trust in hate and greed?
Throw away your crutches.
Stand on your own feet.
The battle lines are being drawn.
Mindless unthinking power
ruling with hatred
Docile uncaring masses
lost within sedation
A turbulent fear fraught existence subject to
the insane
Listen...someone’s screaming.
Reject this industry of pain
Reject this neglect of human rights.
The battle lines are being drawn.
They’re building new futures and
I hear there’s a job at the factory making
munitions for the next war
and they have need of your services
in some distant field and you’ll
be given a gun and a flag on
your grave when you die

Veil
Lift this bloody veil,
so that I can see
Be silent so I can hear,
of what should not be
A holocaust of greed
And still it continues
The gutters run red
The myth of man as the hunter perpetuates
our gluttony of lies
Nourishment of ignorance
and deception
The bloody carousel
continues to turn
And we hide behind phrases
that create an abstraction
And ignore the fate that met the meat on your
plate
And still it continues
The gutters run red
Time to reappraise all the facts
600 million animals are
killed every year
To whom we’re deaf, dumb and
blind through tradition
A holocaust of greed
unsung and unspoken
Consumption of death for vast profit
This legacy of the egocentric human
condition betrays our lack of compassion for
life
Veil. Bloody veil.
Lift it so that I can see.

Escalation
An escalation of bigotry based
on creed, race and colour
Complacency has bred a new acceptance of
hatred
Inaction engenders the
growth of divisions
Segregated we strengthen
the roots of our fear
The rise of the right
wears a thin disguise
Speaks rhetoric of freedom but
it’s nothing more than lies
Forgive me if I’m mistaken but
haven’t we been here before?
The persecution of scapegoats
Lime pits, trenches and walls?
We must not follow this well-worn path of
hate based on
fear of our own kind

Monkeys
Man the freak monkey has risen
The toolmaker has learnt to destroy
The curse of Darwin has stricken
Descent from the trees to extinction
Monkeys
Cursed with the illusion of reason
Monkeys
The toolmaker has learnt to destroy
Descent to extinction
Illusion of reason
Barbaric ape of no conscience
Dominant, uncaring and blind
To the result of his acts of aggression
A demise of his own design
Monkeys
Cursed with the illusion of reason
Monkeys
Dominant, uncaring and blind
Descent to extinction
Illusion of reason
And if God gave birth to man,
what did he intend?
To destroy the world he created by this freak
monkeys hands?

Tool of the Trade
My life began like any other
Nurtured and protected
by my mother
Didn’t know I differed
from other breeds
Till “master” enforced and
controlled my needs
Lust for blood throughout life
Only the fittest can survive
Forced how to live and how to act
Like primitive creatures,
hunt in packs
Empower my mind and how I think
Let people believe it’s my instinct
If I was loved and treated the same
I wouldn’t choose to play this game
Taught how to crave
and follow the scent
All in the name of entertainment
The fastest and the strongest can claim the
prize
Whilst the smallest and
weakest won’t survive
Can’t fall behind,
keep up with the rest
Can’t slow down,
can’t stop for a breath
Might get trapped,
could get knocked down
No one will stop even if I drown
I’m not their companion
just a tool of their trade
I’ll keep my life if I make their grade
Eventually they’ll stick
a gun to my head
I’ll serve them my life and they’ll shoot me
dead.

In The Cold Earth
We’ve lived on this land
since the dawn of time
Our blood lies in the cold earth
We grow crops in the soil
and hunt the sacred game
And honour its eternal spirit
We take what we need
as we need it from the land
Benevolent, life providing mother
The sun sets on the horizon,
stars light up the sky
It has, and always will be this way
So bury my body
in the cold earth
Return to the womb of my mother
One day some strange men came
From the edge of the world
Bearing gifts and talking of peace
They gave us rods of fire
that spat demons teeth
And a nectar of bitter taste
They demanded this land
which is not ours to give
And took the lives of all the animals
My brothers and sisters
we huddle, hide and pray
To our mother, not their god
for deliverance
And wait for a time
to be born again
When brother
does not turn against brother
Why must they slaughter
my mother?
Is their god a god of love or hate?
Is the world they come from barren?
A lifeless, never ending plain
of waste?
And I choose death
through resistance
And wait to be born again

An End To Transgressions
For every act of aggression perpetrated by
leaders
Who seek to retain economic
and social control
There’s a reaction of anger
and a cry of refusal
Unrest breeds in our hearts
fuelling the will to resist
Shall we suffer the truncheons
that strike down at the weak?
Disenfranchised through poverty
and segregation by class
The establishment of a united
front of resistance
To combat the draconian laws
of this self-serving house
is our task
We shall not submit to the laws
that they have created
An illusion of liberality that bureaucracy
maintains
For every inch that they give
we’ll take a step back
And examine their concessions
in light of the facts
They’ll only give if they
can take more back
A compromise from a
position of strength
Actions designed
to serve their own interests
Not those of the masses
they’re supposed to reflect
Power is steeped with greed
and self-serving bias
A lust for control over the lives
of the governed
This action has spawned an opposite force of
reaction
A reaction that grows
when force is applied
The descent of man to throne of ruler
To dissent by the many
to the start of the new

Info from their MySpace:
Well, we broke up a very long time ago, and I've only put this profile up as there seemed to be a few people who gave a fuck! So I thought I'd sort it out as another guy (in the Philipines!!) had put one up, but seems to have deleted most of it.... Jobbykrust split up, Glyn, Chris and Trues went on to form "My Name Is Satan" After that, Glyn, Tim & Trues went on to form "The Dagda", who of course released several raging slabs of vinyl to massive acclaim. I've omitted loads of facts, dates and figures here of course - mostly owing to the fact that I'm tired, it's late and I can't remember right now. Does it really matter anyway?

Sea of Deprivation - Catharsis In Disharmony

2007-11-22T19:53:00.000-08:00

The debut release from this Arizona 3 piece featuring members of Misanthropic. Lots of crossover in musical styles but this definitely leans towards the metal end of things, drawing influences from bands such as Carcass, ABC Diabolo, Assuck and Dystopia. Lyrics are both personal and political in a brutally honest way. This record never lets up for a second!

Album Reviews:
"Wow. Incredibly heavy destroying dark hardcore which blends Black Sabbath like heavy sludgy hardcore with grindcore, death metal, and crust. Mix in nihilistic political lyrics and you've got one hell of a sound! I didn't know what to think of this to begin with but this is a surprise favorite this issue!" (-Mangelslakt #3)

"From the ashes of Misanthropic arises Sea of Deprivation. Agonizing vocals, thick guitars, brutal drums and political lyrics. This is one kick ass LP! If you liked Misanthropic, and other bands like Dystopia, then this is right up your dark alley! Nine songs and a Disrupt cover. My friends and I agree, Sea of Deprivation rock! (DD/Heart Attack #29)

Tracklist:
1.Hell Hath No Fury
2.Eco-Catastrohpe
3.The Cold Hand of Reality
4.You Fucking Jerk
5.Who's the Fucking Criminal?
6.Clean
7.Unconditionally
8.So I Abhor
9.The Cycle of Misery
10.Domestic Prison (disrupt cover)

Bongzilla - Gateway

2007-11-22T19:36:00.000-08:00

Album Review #1:
I love to get stoned – who doesn’t? There’s nothin’ like a good bowl or joint to make a day go by that much better, and there’s nothin’ like listening to music while high off your ass, and I think Bongzilla agree with me 100%. It’s no secret that these boys smoke grass, it shows in their name… song titles and the way the fuckin’ music sounds. I mean, you HAVE to be high to write this shit.

Anyway, behind all the smoke there’s some really good music on “Gateway”. The first thing you hear when you pop this album in is static, then a slow, doomy and dirty-ass riff floats its way out like smoke comin’ out your mouth while taking a hit. The riffs on this album are catchy, doomy and groovy. And all of those riffs can be found on the complete monster of a track “Stone a Pig”. Almost 10 minutes of dirty sludge ecstasy, that’s some shit to get high to.

If you’re lookin’ for some fast songs here, you better snort some white lines and put on “Bonded by Blood” cos “Bongzilla” and “fast” don’t go together. You know all us potheads are slow and lazy. The album ranges from slow to mid-paced, and maybe even a little faster (“Sunshine Green”). The band focuses on slow, crushing riffs that’ll…crush you. The vocals aren’t so bad either, loud dirty sounding black metal-like screeching. Not something I would ever think would sound good when you’re stoned, but shit, Bongzilla proved me wrong.

There are some problems with “Gateway”, like every stoner out there Bongzilla tend to get too slow and sometimes boring. I don’t think you’d notice that while high (which is the way you’re supposed to listen to this) so it doesn’t really matter. The album ain’t too long, only 40-somethin’ minutes, so it’s a nice soundtrack to a 666lb bongsession. Go get your favorite bong, put some ice in the water, fill the bowl up with some Killer Cali (I love living in California), pop in “Gateway”, fire up and enjoy a great high.

Album Review #2:
While some bands pride themselves on re-inventing their sound with each release, there are others that you can always count on to stay the same. On their latest release, Gateway, on Relapse, the beloved Bongzilla continues to concoct ridiculously massive riffs attached to a pro-pot message. Screeching feedback drops into a deep, vicious groove of riffs and vocalist Mike Makela’s wicked yowl is almost completely drowned out by the smashing of drums, driving Bongzilla’s THC-induced sound. With songs like “Greenthumb,” “Sunshine Green,” “666lb. Bongsession,” and “Hashdealer,” this Wisconsin-bred band isn’t bashful about their marijuana love-affair. And while Bongzilla carries their attitude and their drug infatuation upfront, at least they aren’t trying to be a band they aren’t.

Album Review #3:
Throughout my adult life, I've been surrounded by varying degrees of potheads. One of my college roommates was a twice a day smoker who might as well have been the poster child for proving how many brain cells are supposedly killed by pot use. Other friends used it much more recreationally and in a couple cases, were probably better off with using it. Unfortunately, there's a segment of the population who has taken this illicit drug and turned nearly into a religion. To me, nothing is more aggravating to than to be around someone who is entirely fixated on one specific thing, whether it's football, alcohol, radical feminist politics or marijuana. When one's life is entirely consumed by a single product, there's a good chance that person is lacking much needed balance in order to function and not annoy the living hell out of people around them.

Bongzilla is one such example. They are now three releases deep into their marijuana themed career (two full lengths and one EP) and they're obviously quite content to continue with their favorite subject of choice. Sampling various movie quotes throughout the CD, Bongzilla is making no bones about their drug of choice. Unfortunately, their monolithic approach to making music is likely to drive away anyone who hasn't taken at least three major bonghits. Despite my constant proximity to pot over the years, I never did get around to trying it and I'm certainly not going to light up a doobie simply to find out if Gateway improves while under an "enlightened" state of mind. The entire album is a series of meandering Sabbath inspired sludge rock featuring more distortion than anything coming out of the White House these days. The entire length of the CD comes across as one extended jam session, showing very little dynamic shift from song to song. It's quite easy to tune out the little buggers after the first three or four minutes and they're certainly not going to sneak in any surprises anywhere after that. Just like hardcore marijuana advocates, Bongzilla becomes nothing more than a persistant irritant within minutes.

Perhaps if you like a dingy, heavy, muck-filled record that you don't actually need to pay attention to, Gateway will prove worth digging up. But as for me, Bongzilla reminds me far too much of those wretched middle aged alcoholic men who used to sit at my bar all afternoon, talking in great lengths about booze. I quit that job. Now I'm going to quit listening to this lousy CD.

Artist Review:
Bongzilla. What a name for a band. I stumbled upon these fellas pretty much due to a random recommendation on the internet. Judging from the title of their albums, this band seems to be chronically obsessed with the whole stoner thing and sweet Mary J. I've not heard anything else from Bongzilla, but could imagine that they've had a pretty consistent career, for good and for worse.

First of all, this album would deserve a decent top mark if it was judged on its musical merits alone. For a stoner record, it's one hell of a piece of sludge. Riffage is just absolutely spaced out and groovy, making up nicely for brutal vocals that really sound like the singer had been spending time with the bong. This is not exactly the most original stoner record or band. They rely very deeply on the standard Sabbath-Iommi-rip-off with maybe a tinge of blues to give a bit mellow edge to their onslaught. Yet musically, this is one of the strongest stoner/sludge albums I've come across.

But if you ask me, all this flies straight out of the window when you grab the album, look at the cover and the lyrics. Although Gateway shares a lot of things with other stoner metal albums, it is just so ludicrously over the top that I very much fear that the fellas in Bongzilla might not be joking after all. You've got a devil smoking weed in the cover. Then there are song titles like Greenthumb, 666 lb. Bongsession (an instrumental that pretty much is what is says) or Hashdealer. The lyrics talk about...weed. The message Bongzilla is putting through is such an obsessed praise for weed that it pretty much kills the charm of the album.

In defense you could say that when Electric Wizard did Dopethrone, they also had this horned guy smoking a pipe. Electric Wizard wasn't too subtle about their choice of herb either. The thing is that whereas Dopethrone is a stoner/doom monument, an defining album as such, Gateway is merely one among the dozens. Bongzilla does their thing good, but have nothing new to give musically, and the ridicilous imagery simply works against them.

Noothgrush - Erode The Person

2007-11-22T15:11:00.001-08:00

After a few years of ambiguity, the almighty west coast doomsters Noothgrush have officially called it a day after over a decade of tectonic sludge destruction, and to commemorate the career of one of the most influential American acts in the game, Throne records has decided to release a confusing compilation entitled Erode the Person. Do no think, however, that this is a reissue of the compilation of the same name that was released in the late 90..s, because this ..version.. is slightly different and contains a few tracks not appearing on the original release. Collected here are tracks from the splits with Wellington, Corrupted, Gasp, and Carol Ann, along with a whole slew of unreleased tracks and new versions of tracks that appeared on the original Erode the Person and Failing Early, Failing Often compilations. All the confusion is totally irrelevant however, because as soon as you hit play and remember all over again how incredibly devastatingly heavy this trio was, you can..t really think of else. There are so many crushing riffs here that it..s pretty impossible to even convey in words what making it through this album is like (those familiar with Noothgrush..s music know what I mean), but this is a must have for any fans interested in doom if you own nothing else from these guys.

I was more than a little stoked to get this CD, which is a collection of tunes from the band's early discography. I have been a huge fan of NOOTHGRUSH since the release of their debut demo and since they steamrolled my brain during their first of many appearances at the Fiesta Grande. This band has taken the handoff from bands like GRIEF (an admittedly huge influence) and run for six. They do more than PLAY sludge. They ARE sludge. Everything about this band oozes and crawls. Their music is as punishing and it is precise as it is plodding. Lyrically they take concepts and ideas that in the hands of lesser artists may seem silly (Star Wars) or overused (hate and loathing) and they discover existential sociological and philosophical insight. From one point of view in the extreme underground NOOTHGRUSH are hideously deformed if for no other reason than they travel a route far less taken; but from another perspective, and certainly one that I share, their deformity is actually uniqueness and allows for the breeding of distinction. Y'see there are only a handful of really stellar sludge bands around and NOOTHGRUSH are among the best.

Mass Grave - Survival Of The Richest

2007-11-22T14:18:00.000-08:00

After the break up of Goat and Woodys thrash punk band TRENCH RATS in 2001, they began to jam and write songs for a band that wouldnt even play a show for nearly 1 and a half years. They met Lenny who soon after made the move from the island to Vancouver. He had some brutal yelps, and was also very tall, so he was a perfect fit. With no luck finding a drummer, they recorded a 7 song never released demo with Woody on bass and vocs, Lenny on vocs, and Goat on guitar and drums. They played their first show with this line up. Grinders NECKBEERD from northern B.C. had just moved to Van, so Hesher was asked to fill in on skins. Hesher, also being relatively tall, fit the mould well. So there they were, 4 tall stoners with crusty dreams of grinding the country side. Massgrave recorded their second demo CHUD DEMO, and soon after the split CD with NECKBEERD, and their first Canadian tour.

In 2003, Massgrave released their first EP Survival of the richest, on Barrage of Salt record out of Seattle, and toured the US and Canada for 6 weeks. Meeting Phoneix grinders WARFAIR? along the way, it was agreed a split release was muchly needed. 2004, MG / WARFAIR? Split was released on Coughing Up Records in Phoneix. After a year of local shows and jamming, Massgrave was ready to hit the road again. With 4 weeks in the US and few Canadian dates, they recorded a full length LP People are the Problem, which soon after was released on Unrest Records out of Edmonton Alberta.

Recently, Massgrave recorded material for 3 split 7 inches. MG / PRETTY LITTLE FLOWER (TX) is being self released, and should be out soon. Splits with POSER DISPOSER (SASK), and GLOBAL HOLOCAUST (MONTREAL) will be released on Unrest Records, by late summer.

50,000 doobies, and 50, 000 beers later, Massgrave is still goin strong, with plans of future albums and tours to come. Stay the fuck tuned!!!!!

Album Review:
This a treat for me, it's not often I get to hear bands I haven't heard of of and in this issue I get to hear 2 releases from the mighty Massgrave!! Still with a slight influence from Disrupt, I think Massgrave has taken the crust/punk crossover scene to a new level!! With the instensity of this album, they're making their mark on the underground scene, even crossing over to grindcore, and even som e open minded death metal fans would love this LP! Also comes with a huge poster! This bands needs to be heard!!

Carcinogen - Kure Demo

2007-11-22T10:29:00.000-08:00

Carcinogen was a band from Irvine, California, USA. They formed in 1990 on Life Is Abuse Records. Their lyrics mostly deal with misanthropy, weed and nihilism. They really sound like Dystopia a lot to me. One of the members (Dino Sommese - Drummer) is also the drummer in Dystopia, Asunder, Lachrymose and Ghoul. I am not sure who the other members are. They released a demo entitled "Kure Demo".

Misanthropic - Open Up And Take Your Bullet

2007-11-22T09:53:00.000-08:00

If your only going to grab one album off this site I strongly suggest this one. This is by far my favorite album... shit is fucking intense. I actually suggest you don't download this and buy it =]

The debut 7" from this now defunct crust/grind band from Arizona. Amazingly rage filled gutteral female vocals that cross with equally spiteful male vocals in a perfect way, steamrolling its way through a musical style that is like a healthy mix between Assuck and Antischism, creating a totally intense and orginal sound. This 7" has 4 songs covering issues such as racism, anti-patriatism, complacency, and more. The cover opens up to make an eight page booklet with lyrics and graphics as well. Some of the members of this band have since gone on to form the band Sea of Deprivation.

Lyrics:
BOUND BY RAGE AND PESSIMISM
Another woman was beaten today and she is trapped because she's afraid. And another child has died today without enough to eat he rotted away. And while I sit here in my house someone is freezing on the streets. And while I sit here and write this song someone will die from a disease. Murderers and rapists live in our communities. Everyday we wake up to six billion tragedies. We all agree there are problems but to correct them will be hard to do. Rid the world of poverty and abuse, the change has to start with you. In a world where the working man beats his wife and kids. In a world where the "holymen" are molesting your children. In a world where the policemen have the power to kill you. In a place where the citizens don't care until it happens to them. Take your own life to ensure that you won't breed. You're just one more motherfucker this planet doesn't need. You buy into the fairy tale that as citizens we are free. And passively pay your tax to accomidate their greed. They harvest 1/3 of my weekly income but where does the money go? The economy is in a hole and still the deficit grows. You can't reform a system that hinges on corruption. More beaurocratic programs are not the solution. This is the state of the world today. We are fucked, we've gone astray. Save the world, put a gun to your head. Humans are shit, we're better off dead. We destroy this planet, we destroy ourselves. Most stand by silently while few try to help. They regulate small businesses to stifle evolution. Ignore the poor and lower class, deny them retribution. They pacify the masses with a small cut in taxes. But a 1% tax cut isn't really compensation. A $500 deduction for schools the poor can't afford. A tax break for the upper class and approval ratings soar. You've been brainwashed by patriotic propaganda. Using tax revenues they finance their political agendas. The media is the government's whore, a function of the system. Reporting what they want us to hear but I refuse to listen. Is it ignorance or apathy that spawned this fucked society? I can tell you that it's both and we're the result. A subculture against the system, bound by rage and pessimism. A generation of despair and doom with no pride or hope for us to exhume. We the poor call out the rich and it's labeled class envy. But it seems a silver spoon brings scores of opportunity. We're the poor and filthy, we'll never see the ivy league. If a large bank roll is a measure of success then may I never succeed.

FUCKY YOUR ARYAN ROOTS
You're pushing us towards another fucking war and you can't possibly win. There's more of us than there are of you, you can't possibly win. You wear your politics in your fucking boots, shave your head pay homage to your aryan roots. You proclaim your dedication to your shitbag race but it's only the weak that you really intimidate. The truth is that you're searching for an identity, you see the world is fucked up so you claim superemacy. You're not salvation, you're not what we need. You redneck fucking bigot, you watch too much T.V. In your heart you want something that is good but it's not just minorities destroying your neighborhood. Why are you proud of the color of your skin? Hatred thrives on ignorance, that's where it all begins. Are you having apprehensions about the meaning of your life? Do you think that you're special because you're fucking white? Why don't you go back where you came from you shithead seperatists? The last thing this country needs is a bunch of supremacists.Hitler was a psychopath, his ideas weren't right. You're not following him, just a reason to fight. Blame your problems on a group, it seems o.k. to you. But did you know that Hitler was also part Jew? This country's going down the tube, led by the white man. It's our current situation and it's how it all began. Take a look at this country and then look at your skin. White pride is ignorance, and it's where it all begins.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS
Your're so amused by a fucking piece of cloth that you don't realize what the fuck is being lost. You pledge allegiance to their flag and their fucking cross. Just happy little icons to cover up the loss. Freedom and peace is what you thought they really meant. The stars and stripes are really the truth being bent. Just take a better look behind the red white and blue. They're really taking freedom away from me and you. There's no fucking difference between the swastika and the flag. They're just fucking symbols that stab you in the back. You support your enemy by thinking things are all right. Go to work all day, watch the T.V. all night...Sitting back in your E-Z chair clutching your remote. Politicians on the screen, their lies are a fucking a joke. You don't think of the evil, well ignorance is bliss. But when you're fucking slaves maybe you'll notice it. If the flag stands for freedom then why the fuck aren't we free? If you think we are then open your eyes and see...

THE ANTHEM
The anthem barfs forth melody but I sit alone. The masses stand saluting some even sing along. No teary eyes for me no lump in my throat. I the anti-patriot me the misanthrope. We are forced to compromise but inside we all despise the bastards, the slave drivers, who dictate our lives. This archaic system governing us is old and out of date. So warped and disfigured it leaves us feeling raped. Government doesn't work, we see it every day. We watch our freedom get pushed aside and look the other way. They regulate our freedom and in the laws they generate there is a fucking loop-hole for every law that they break. They silence our pleas and keep us on our knees and demand we ask for forgiveness from their holy deity. They exploit your faith to keep you in place but for all your fucking suffering you will never be saved. Government and corporations walking hand in hand. With giant grins on their faces they discuss their master plan. To push inflation higher and leave wages where they stand. And we the faceless masses are left to scavenge amongst ourselves. We'll work to smash your system and then we'll take a stand. Through resistance and persistance we will gain the upper hand. By boycotting and propaganda we've begun to chip away at the system that exploits the poor but will I see the day that we become independant people, not nameless, faceless slaves. Or will I carry this reality with me to the grave? Your anthem stirs no emotion in me. I will always sit alone. I will never stand and salute. I will never sing your song. No teary eyes, no lump in my throat, no false sense of hope. I'd rather watch your flag in flames and everything you've done.

His Hero Is Gone - Fifteen Counts of Arson

2007-11-22T09:18:00.000-08:00

His Hero is Gone was a crust punk band from Memphis, Tennessee. Formed in 1995 from members of Copout, Man With Guns Lives Here and Face Down, they disbanded in 1999, playing their last show in Memphis. They toured the U.S. extensively several times, as well as Europe and Japan. They released three albums: 15 Counts of Arson, Monuments to Thieves and The Plot Sickens, a limited edition of 1,000 Split LP with demo tracks of then-new guitarist Yannick's previous, and by then defunct, band Union Of Uranus from Canada, and two 7" EPs The Dead of Night in Eight Movements and Fool's Gold as well as a 1995 Demo tape. Simultaenously or afterwards band members played in the bands Deathreat, Call The Police, Dimilaia, Warcry, Union of Uranus and more. The Core of the band Todd, Paul, Yannick went on to form the more traditional d-beat HC band Tragedy. Characterized by crushing guitars, anti-consumerist lyrics along with other social commentary, the band and related projects have remained under the radar by refusing to promote themselves via websites, or larger music labels

Asunder biography:
In the early '90s, crust legends DYSTOPIA and a new stenchcore band, SKAVEN, released a split Lp on LIFEISABUSE RECORDS and followed that with a US tour. With the completion of this tour, 2/3rds of DYSTOPIA moved to Oakland, California, and shared a large house (the infamous "Compound") with members of SKAVEN. With DYSTOPIA on a short hiatus, and SKAVEN broken up due to internal problems, guitarist Geoff Evans formed a new band called LACHRYMOSE with the drummer and one of the bass players of SKAVEN. While rehearsing in their house one day, the drummer of DYSTOPIA, Dino Sommese, who shared the house, proposed that he take up the vocal duties for this project.

LACHRYMOSE began rehearsing regularly and began to play out at local shows. One of these shows, a warehouse show in San Francisco, was to be San Francisco based kvlt black metal band WEAKLING's first show. Due to police interference, WEAKLING never got to perform (pigs). LACHRYMOSE did not last long, and slowly disintegrated.

Wanting to continue playing music, Geoff and Dino decided to start jamming with long-time friend Seth Baker on guitar and Dino taking up the drum and vocal duties. Sharing an interest in both early Swedish death metal and doom metal, the trio began writing death/doom songs and the early sounds of ASUNDER began.

Lacking a bass player, ASUNDER asked an acquaintance from the scene, Jim Mack, of BLACK GOAT fame, to come down and jam. After a couple hours of jamming, Jim decided that ASUNDER didn't need a bass player, and left. Confused and amused, Asunder continued searching for a bass player. Another acquaintance, Britt Hallett, decided he would take on the task. When this lineup solidified, their death/doom intentions did, as well.

Not long after this, an opportunity arose to go into the studio and record a demo. Evans had received some free studio time in exchange for internship duties, so ASUNDER were pleased to have the opportunity to record in a top-notch studio. Entirely self produced, the demo was finished, and ASUNDER began playing out at local metal and punk venues. Having been involved with the recording of the demo, Mauz from LIFEISABUSE records decided he would like to release it as a split LP/CD with old tour buddies, LIKE FLIES ON FLESH.

Meanwhile, ASUNDER had been working on some new material, expanding on their sound. Once again, the opportunity to record presented itself and ASUNDER returned to the studio to record a new song - Of Wind and Wings. Unsatisfied with the outcome of this session, ASUNDER never released this song.

Fueled by this somewhat disappointing experience, ASUNDER wanted to add a new element to the band. With the new material leaning more towards long, slow, sorrowful songs, the introduction of the cello was a logical next step. Long time friend, Alex Bale-Glickman joined, incorporating this new sound. After having performed live a few times with the cello, it became clear that, due to limitations with live sound reinforcement, the cello could not be used in live shows.

During this time, drummer Dino Sommese and guitarist Seth Baker formed a new death metal outfit, INSIDIOUS. Due to increasing time commitment issues, it became clear that Seth Baker could no longer devote the time necessary to remain in ASUNDER. His replacement was found in another acquaintance from the Bay Area scene, John Gossard. ASUNDER knew John from his bands, black metal titan WEAKLING, and depressive gloom metal oddity THE GAULT.

With the inclusion of Gossard, ASUNDER began playing out and preparing to enter the studio again. In the summer of 2003, ASUNDER entered SHARKBITE STUDIOS in Oakland California with famed engine-ear and producer, Billy Anderson. On a very small budget, this marathon session resulted in ASUNDER's debut full length LP/CD - A Clarion Call.

After having completed mixing the album, ASUNDER were invited to play the San Francisco show for the DOOMINATION OF NORTH AMERICA tour and the STONER HANDS OF DOOM festival in Portland, Oregon. This was going to be the first out of town show for them, and an excellent opportunity to play for a primarily doom-oriented audience. Having no means of transport to Oregon, ASUNDER rented a van from a local punk venue, BURNT RAMEN STUDIOS, to make the doomed journey.

And a doomed journey it turned out to be. Not 30 minutes outside the Bay Area, this van began to catch on fire inside. Apparently, someone had bolted the exhaust pipe to a plywood floorboard of the van. This continued to happen every hour or so, and the only solution that they could come up with was to line the floor of the van with ice. Several bags of ice later, they triumphantly arrived, smoldering van and all, in Portland, Oregon.

Upon return to the bay area, ASUNDER began searching for a label to release their new recording. After reviewing a couple offers, they accepted one from NUCLEARWARNOW! PRODUCTIONS. Having been familiar with NWN's high quality releases, ASUNDER saw this as a great opportunity to design an elaborate package for the vinyl-only release, also involving some talented and skilled friends and family with the visual aspects of this release. As for the CD version of the release, once again they entered into a deal with long time crony, Mauz of LIFEISABUSE RECORDS. This was to be a split release between LIFEISABUSE and the band's own fledgling label, DENATURED SPIRIT.

Having come to the end of the work for this album, and having come to a mutual disinterest in working together any longer, bassist Britt Hallett and ASUNDER parted ways. Optimistic now as to the future of ASUNDER, they invited the bass player from Dino and Seth's INSIDIOUS, Salvador, to join as the new bass player.

Considering ASUNDER's relatively small number of live performances, it has been fortunate to have shared the stage with many great bands, such as GRIEF, MOURNING BELOVETH, THE PROPHECY, ORODRUIN, HIGH ON FIRE, local greats like LUDICRA, HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE, AMBER ASYLUM, SUBARACHNOID SPACE, ARTIFICIUM SANGUIS, and many others. Recent shows have been great, with bands like TARANTULA HAWK, NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, and OM. Future plans for ASUNDER include performances at the THREE DAYS OF DARKNESS FESTIVAL, and a possible split release with arizona doom merchants-GRAVES AT SEA. Over 5 years and counting, ASUNDER continues its patient but insistent stride into a future that was doomed from the beginning...

songs on this 7":
Newborn
Sexcrimes
Intermissions

Review #1:
"Catchphraze continues to deliver the goods when it comes to new crust style bands, and this is no exception. Grinding, driving, somewhat metallic hardcore with anguished vocals. No frills here, and nothing too original either, but solid politically driven hardcore that will definately please fans of this label's other releases and of the Profane Existence style." (-BD/HeartAttack #23)

Review #2:
"Oh my, are those vocals coming from a guy? Really raspy screaming vocals on this one. The slow dirge-y breakdowns remind me of Christdriver in a way with the really low basslines. The rest of this is faster. I really like the tempo changes on these three songs. Really fast and angry, then those slow breakdowns all of the sudden. Not Bad" (-SR/Maximum Rock N' Roll #197)

Lyrics to songs from this album:
NEWBORN
Born into this life thrown into this hole. the new born threat, the new world is yours. Help me walk. Hold my hand, help me see truth. This is just the first chapter of her. Running the gauntlet of life. Believe not in their lies. Force fed bullshit.

SEXCRIMES
Not for he who lies with brother as a woman or she who lies with sister as a man. Not for the flesh of colors but for all who can. Is this the wrath of their god or the revenge of big brother? silence is death. stand up and fight the ignorance that plagues this land. The hands of fear move across our broken hearts, searching for hope and blame to cast upon the face of confusion. We must destroy Acquired Immune Deficience Syndrome. Someone has taken the gift of all living things and corrupted it with death.

INTERMISSIONS
Comsume products commercial chaos. Capitol dollars corporate pollution. Need or greed worth produce plastic colonies. possesion dollars collars slaughters the land of money is made of shit!!!Boycott a suggested standard of right infesting the cosmetic death. exploring a void. dead life in god we trust...fuck you!!!

Grief biography:

Grief was founded in 1991 by Disrupt guitarist Terry Savastano and drummer Randy Odierno (who later switched to bass and later again left to join Bane of Existence). They broke up in 2001 mainly due to drummer problems - something that was an ongoing problem for the band from the start. They also cited what they called a "hostile environment for doom metal bands". They reunited briefly in July 2005 to play a cluster of reunion shows.

The band had several 7"s including one with Dystopia and Corrupted each. A compilation album called Turbulent Times appeared in 2002 through Southern Lord. The group reunited for one show at the first annual New England Grind And Doom Fest on July 17th, 2005 at The Middle East Cafe in Cambridge, MA. They were so excited by the response to this show that they began booking others, and they toured intermittently throughout 2005 and 2006.

In 2005, the band played shows through in venues including The Ace of Clubs and The Knitting Factory in New York, The Khyber in Philadelphia, O'Brien's in Allston/Brighton, MA, The Living Room in Providence, RI, and Cherry St. Station in CT.

In 2006 Southern Lord Records released a full length live album called Alive which featured their performance at the 2005 New England Grind And Doom Fest. The album features artwork by Eric C. Harrison, who did much of the band's painted cover artwork.

Grief's final appearance was at Emissions From The Monolith 8, a sludge/doom festival that took place in Ohio, May 2006.

The Hartford Advocate wrote the following about their 12/3/05 date at Cherry St. Station in CT:

"Since 1991, these Massholes have been writing songs about a distinctly New England flavor of depression and isolation. Jeff Hayward’s throat-shredding vocals often seem more hardcore than metal; indeed, almost 15 years later, it’s possible to see Grief as one of a handful of seminal NE bands who initiated the merger between hardcore and metal. However, unlike some of those bands, Grief still sounds both relevant and entertaining."

Album Review:
As far as I am aware this is the last album by Grief before they broke up. Often misunderstood and scorned, they never became as well known as Eyehategod or Crowbar (although they deserved it). The band called it quits in 2001, run down by an unforgiving music industry. The anguish and torment of all those years has been captured perfectly on this album filled with sludgy doom.

Grief has always been extreme and stands on a lonely height when it comes to the filth, pain and misery in their music. While they have "calmed down" a bit since their debut 'Dismal', this album is anything but a cute little puppy. No sir, this is still one hell of an angry, neglected, vicious and mistreated rotweiler barking out in anger. The music is painfully slow and twisted while Jeff Hayward screams out his frustrations.

But okay the music has become a little more accessible throughout the years; it can now actually really be called music and not just "pain and torture pressed on a silver disk". This mainly due to the introduction of more of a sabbathish groove (if that would be an appropriate name for such a slow pace) and melody. But as said before, don't let that fool you into thinking they "mellowed out". By their gradual evolution they managed to create an album just as painful for the soul and tortured as on their debut, but a little easier on the eardrums. And that is also where their "accessible" sound ends.

What a shame that they were eventually crushed by the only thing more twisted and disturbed then their own music: the music industry and life itself. Luckily most of the Grief members have already started a new band. Lets hope it will be as brilliant as this album. For now however get this album if you don't own it yet because trust me, the pain will last! A must for all the sludge fans and fans of "slowed down death-metal" like Winter.

Review #1:

Accion Mutante This is a CD i'm really happy about, i have been enjoying the 1'st two Accion Mutante albums on mp3 for years now, none of my friends online seemed to be into them, until i ran across thier webpage i knew absolutly nothing about them and wasnt sure what labels they released with and all i could find on google was info on the movie Accion Mutante. Crimes Against Humanity gets props for putting together the CD that will finally shed some light on this fucking awesome band! this is a reverse discography of everything released till 2004 and it sounds great. This starts out with the newest recordings, the Ghetto Europa 10'' which i missed completely, Up The Metal Punx which i only heard a couple times until this CD, a split 7'' which i also missed, a bunch of compilation tracks i also missed one of which was even taken from a Cassette comp and still sounds great, then there is the 2 7''s that got me interested in this band and held that interest for over 5 years now. The newer tracks are more grindcore styled now wheras this started out a very crust sounding band, after thier 1'st album the low grindcore voice was brought in and remained ever since. I find Rossi's voice has become alot uglier also, though still similar to old recordings it has become alot rougher. There is a bonus track on here that at first i didnt recognize even though its a song drilled into my brain from countless listens in its original form, what is this track? Fuck Authority by GG Fucking Allin! this is probly one of the last things i ever expected on a sociopolitical type CD because GG was a total deviant.

The vocals are low growls that remind me of Sam Biles from Hideous Mangleus or the low voice of IRF, the mid voice is rough hardcore punk yells, the voices are mixed well and its deffinately a dual vocal band. After the 1'st 7'' the band tunred alot heavier and since has kept progressing into a heavier sound. The first 7'' is my favorite still and probly always will be even though its not as heavy, still i cant say i have anything bad to say about any of thier material and this CD rocks from start to finish. The music style is all basic and overall its midpaced to fast, there are some leads and solos and they work well and arent long or obnoxious, aside from that its pretty much straight forward crust/grind withought any frills, there arent a bunch of breakdowns or paning fx and it really doesnt need it. This band was supposed to do a split 7'' with Extinction of Mankind but that never happened, to date the only split album has been with Basalt, everything else has been solo or compilation material. 73 fucking minutes, i didnt realise it was actually this long... i have no problems sitting through this whole CD and its not often i feel like listening to 73 minutes of anything, this stays in my personal collection.... This CD booklet has the bands biography starting back in 1995 up until this CD, also there is a fucking shitload of band photos collaged, plus all the album covers from everything they appeared on at a viewable size and if thats not enough, lyrics to all albums and compilations, this is awesome its everything a discography CD should be.

Review #2:
This German Grindcore band reminded me of early Napalm Death and Extreme Noise Terror. There´s 33 tracks on this offering their 10 years history. Some songs are sung in English and some in German and all pretty much political. Again production wise is pretty spot on for this DIY label and the booklet which comes with this package has all the lyrics with some pretty cool photos. Yeah not a bad release at all. (Crimes Against Humanity) 8/10

Review #3:
You ever heard of these guys? I hadn’t…until now. It’s usually a pretty good bet that whatever comes from punk/crust/grind label Crimes Against Humanity will offer at least something of value. Accion Mutante is a German crust punk and grindcore band. Decade of Decay includes every song ever released by the band during the decade noted in the album title, as well as a couple of bonus tracks. What you get is 33 tracks of fuck-off punk nihilist nuggets and anarchist grindcore riot starters. Mostly sung in English, with the occasional German lyric, there is a lot to sink your teeth into on this one. Not surprisingly, the style comes directly from the Schools of Discharge, Extreme Noise Terror, early Napalm Death, and any number of similar punk and grindcore bands. Metal-edged, usually crust covered, and always furiously performed, Decade of Decay flows rather well as a complete album considering that the collection consists of everything from compilation tracks to splits to tape (yes, tape) compilations. Tunes from the Ghetto Europa 10” (which includes the Up the Metal Punx “DIY MCD”) are among the most brutal and acidic. The song “Ghetto Europa” (sung in German) begins with a snippet of Elvis Presley’s “In the Ghetto” before shoving the listener’s head right into the shitter. A kind of bastardized and crusty reggae part crops up before the song heads back to speedville. Tunes from the same collection, such as “Who The Fuck You Think You Are” are as burly as they come. Something about parts of “Dead Dream” had me thinking in terms of Minor Threat’s “Out of Step” (though in a dirty as fuck, grindcore kind of way). Other tunes that caught my attention include the “Fuck Authority” bonus track, a rather catchy little shit thrower. Alternating the grindcore growls heard on much of the disc with a snotty crust punk vocal on tracks like “Geburt Eines Neuen Gottes,” (from the Maschinentrauma compilation), “No Hope” and “Religious Fuck” (both from the Die split 7”) work very well. In fact, “Religious Fuck” takes the DKs “Religious Vomit” and runs it through a meat grinder. I was not surprised to hear that “What a Wonderful World” includes part of the actual Louis Armstrong song (gee, do ya think the band paid royalties?) before turning the whole goddamn thing on its grind-punk head. Fans of the music described above would do well to pick up this album for the measly $8 that CAH is charging for it. It’ll keep you fat and happy (and probably stinking from BO and cheap booze) for a good long while

Dystopia - Human = Garbage

2007-11-21T19:20:00.000-08:00

Dystopia formed in Orange County, California in 1991. They are considered a sludge-metal band, popular amongst both heavy metal and crust punk scenes, due in large part to their bleak, misanthropic imagery. Lyrics deal with things from human emotion to social and political issues to environmentalism to racial equality to animal rights and vegetarianism/veganism. The member were Todd Keisling on bass, Matt Parillo on guitar and vocals and Dino Sommese on drum and vocals throughout most the existence. In the real earlier year Dan Kaufman was also doing vocals.

I really dig this band, they have a great musical style and the lyrics are awesome. I suggest you check this album out if you haven't already, Dystopia - Human = Garbage.
