WARRIOR KIDS LP, MERCILESS GAME 8", SETE STAR SEPT / PENIS GEYSER split EP, FATUM LP, URBAN WASTE 12" EP

2012-02-01T22:57:00.000-05:00

WARRIOR KIDS - Les Enfants De L'Espoir... 12" $12.00
(KATORGA WORKS//USA)

"This is the official U.S. reissue of the classic debut LP from Marseilles, France's Warrior Kids. This comes at a very crucial time, as it marks this classic skinhead/oi band's 30th year of existence. Appearing on various classic oi compilations, the original incarnation of Warrior Kids released a 7" single and this phenomenal LP, Les Enfant De L'Espoir. Warrior Kids remain one of the archetypical of the French oi bands, alongside Camera Silens and Komintern Sect and this is long out-of-print/expensive LP is now made available to the record buying public once more. Remastered by Josh Bonati." -KATORGA WORKS

MERCILESS GAME - Genjitsu Wo Kutabare 8" $7.50
(SPHC//USA)

"Merciless Game is a project band started as a solo endeavor by one dedicated individual and currently featuring members of xBrainiax, Lotus Fucker, and Chaos Destroy. Negative and spiteful noise punk a la Dust Noise, Screaming Noise, Expose, etc. Primitive and brutal." -SPHC

SETE STAR SEPT / PENIS GEYSER split 7" $4.50
(SPHC//USA)

"Sete Star Sept is literally the best grind band I've ever seen live. For being just bass and drums, their recordings here sound massive, dense, claustrophobic. Wild arrangements hint at chaos yet they're too musically tight to just be randomized. This is how grindcore should sound to me: the destruction of music/art/everything. True professionals.

Penis Geyser's side was culled from tape recordings of this recent US tour. Again, the complete abandonment and destruction of musicality to express true feelings and energies. I love noisecore and these guys are reigning world champions." -SPHC

URBAN WASTE 12" EP $9.00
(MAD AT THE WORLD//USA)

Nice, legitimate reissue of this classic USHC EP, originally released in 1982. This reissue went unavailable for a spell, but now it is back in print.

"A re-issue of the sole EP by one of the most sought after and enigmatic bands from the earliest days of New York hardcore. Despite the obscurity of the original release, Urban Waste was made famous through their signature style of blown-out, over the top hardcore punk replete with trademark menacing buzzsaw guitars and piercing vocals." -MAD AT THE WORLD

BATTLETORN - Reflect The Filth 12" $8.00
(MAD AT THE WORLD//USA)

"Despite becoming a two-city band in 2007, the NYC / Nashville thrash-duo William and Omid soldiered on and continued to lay musical waste to all that crossed their path, managing a tour of Japan in the process. The ingredients to Battletorn's vision are few and simple, but they deliver such a ferocious thrash/ punk/ metal/ hardcore mania that you'd never guess there's only two of them. Perhaps the words of others describe them best: "With nothing to hide behind, be it longwinded, cryptic lyrics, 'majestic' album art or dense and overdone production, Battletorn come quickly, come prejudicially, and it’s all over before one’s able to really process what has transpired." (LeftHandPath) Reflect the Filth will be the band's final full-length offering, and compiles 8 studio tracks recorded at The Thousand Caves with Behold... The Arctopus' Colin Marston at the knobs on the A-side. Side B has a complete live set (clocking in at 15 minutes, it's the band's longest) recorded in Tokyo on the last night of their Japanese tour." -MAD AT THE WORLD

FATUM - Skverna 12" $10.00
(GASMASK//CZECH REPUBLIC)

Heavy and ugly stenchcore from the loins of mother Russia. This Moscow group's guitar tone is ugly and the vocalist sounds like he is gargling glass. For fans of classic crust like Deviated Instinct and Axegrinder. Includes a BATHORY and HELLHAMMER cover.

FESTA DESPERATO - Nový Babylon 7" $4.00
(GASMASK//CZECH REPUBLIC - PHOBIA//CZECH REPUBLIC +5)

Harsh 8 song EP from the Czech Republic's FESTA DESPERATO. The EP title translates to 'New Babylon.' This band mixes hyper fast and hectic Swedish käng drumming with dark and heavy guitar tones. It would be very easy for a band like this to just fall into the pile of yet another Eurocrust group, but I find FESTA DESPERATO easily rises above the blob mass of uninspired boringness. The lyrical content is pointed and interesting, songs are short and savage. It's nice to hear a band like this that doesn't put me to sleep, this is a keeper for me.

UNLEARN s/t 12" $10.00
DERANGED//CANADA

LP from this group from Vancouver, Canada. Here is what Sorry State had to say about the LP:

"Posthumous album by this fucking killer Vancouver, Canada punk band. These guys play a straightforward style of pummeling D-beat hardcore in the vein of bands like Meanwhile or Totalitär. If you're going to play straight up d-beat like this that has absolutely no frills you need to rage, and Unlearn fucking RAGE. Seriously, this is up there with bands like Kieltolaki as far as that "this record is going to leap off of my turntable and choke me to death" quality. Fucking ripping."

UNLEARN - When The Reaper Comes To You Will You Clap 7" $4.50
DERANGED//CANADA

EP from this band from Vancouver, Canada. Bulldozing crust-core for fans of Meanwhile and Framtid.

By the book, brutal powerviolence from SoCal. Silk screened covers in red ink.

SLICES 7" $4.00

"One of my favorite modern hardcore records, Slices captured something really special on this record. This seriously sounds like Crossed Out playing the B side of 'My War' and this record blew me away when I first heard it. Anyone who has any interest in hardcore should buy this, you will not be disappointed." -16OH

PASSIVE AGGRESSOR 7" $4.00

"The first release from 16oh in YEARS. It took a lot to get me to come back out of hiding and this was the record. Recorded, mastered, pressed and covers all made in Brooklyn. This band is very special to me, comprised of old friends and new ones Passive Aggressor plays music in a messed up jangly fashion akin to Black Flag on their later records. True freak music for those who fly their freak flag high." -16OH

EXTERNAL MENACE - Early Demos EP (1979 - 1984) 7" $4.00
LOUD PUNK//USA

I fuckin' LOVE this. If you're into UK punk, you need this.

"LOUD PUNK is proud to present you the gem by one of our favorite bands to even come from the UK, EXTERNAL MENACE. Formed in 1979 with the average are of 15, these greats went on to release 2 amazing singles on Beat The System Records along with numerous compilation tracks before laying dormant until the mid 90's when they reformed and came back with a vengeance and released several more amazing records.

This release documents 5 unreleased demo tracks from their early days including 2 tracks from their 1979 demo, an unreleased 1981 session and 1 track from 1984. If you are into this band this record is a no brainer, totally essential." -LOUD PUNK

BANNLYST - Diskografi 12" $17.00

After years of everyone and their mother hassling Florian from Heartfirst/Norwegian Leather about this, we are finally graced with this nicely done collection from this shamefully obscure classic Norwegian HC group.

"The second release on Norwegian Leather Records is the BANNLYST "Diskografi" LP with the songs from the split tape with ANGOR WAT (their best material), the "La Dem Ikke Lure Deg" 7" songs, "Terrorstyre" from the "Nå Eller Aldri" compilation and a cover version.

2011-10-26T23:49:00.000-04:00

MUNDO MUERTO - Entre El Kaos 12" $10.00
KONTON CRASHER//USA - CHARGED//DISTORTED//CANADA

"The debut lp by California's mighty MUNDO MUERTO! Retaining the melody of the earlier 7" and 12" eps but with a harder, faster edge this lp is by far MM's best material to date. 11 tracks of pure hardcore punk greatness. From the build up on the first track to the last note this smokes all the way through!!!! The Spanish vocals only add to the amazingness of this lp and all the "whoa" parts will have you singing along even if you dont speak the language. 500 copies-random colored inserts." - Konton Crasher

BLOODKROW BUTCHER 7"

2011-10-26T09:01:00.000-04:00

BLOODKROW BUTCHER 7" $4.00
TOTAL FUCKER//USA - BLOODKROW RECORDS//USA

Ripping raw 80s scandi style new EP from this Boston band. 5 songs. After a couple tape releases and a limited lathe it feels like they are really coming into their own. I hear a Victims Of A Bombraid era Anti-Cimex vibe on this one.

GIVE NOTICE OF DISTRO UPDATE

2011-10-25T00:09:00.001-04:00

PANIKOS - Awakening From Lethargy 12" $10.00
SPHC//USA

Brand new LP from Greek crust legends, Panikos. First new album in 11 years! It is so cool that Dan/SPHC was able to do a US pressing of this record.

"Panikos was one of the classic crust bands from the 90's that made "Greek crust" something notable to collectors. Their previous records are to be filed with Chaotic End, Forgotten Prophecy, Naytia, Anasa Staxti, Negative Stance, etc etc. The Greeks took the classic English and American crust sounds and transformed them into their own unique ideas and expressions.

So imagine my delight to be able to release the first new Panikos recordings in over 10 years. And it was worth the wait, they're better than ever. This record uses Amebix and Neurosis as a starting point and then takes those ideas in a distinctly more rocking direction. Clean and heavy sound that feels natural and organic rather than overproduced and sterile." -SPHC

CHAOS DESTROY / NEKROMANTIKER - split 7" $5.00
SPHC//USA

"For all the real noise heroes, a pairing of two of the world's shining stars of noise, bound by a love of raw fidelity and eccentric taste. This record sees Chaos Destroy in a transition period between the State Children-worshiping shit noise punk of their early material and their current proclivity towards psych noise pop, to be seen on their upcoming LP. Bouncing pop bass lines fit into drill beats and distortion. Nekromantiker obviously studied their Confuse records well, but applied a Tokyo Sound System/New Smell sense of production, ie. piss raw, see bank officer for fidelity. Beautiful, just beautiful. As with all Chaos Destroy records, this is limited to 300." -SPHC

SKIZOPHRENIA 7" $9.00
HARDCORE SURVIVES//JAPAN

Brand new 4 song EP from Japan's Skizophrenia. Raw and intense hardcore with a bit of some UK82 melody. This is the Japanese pressing, there will be a Euro press by Kick Rock. Track down their previous EP - Raw Punk E.A.T.E.R. as well. It might be a little harder to find at this point, it came out a few years ago. Great band!!

TRUNCHEONS - Demo CS $3.00
SELF RELEASED//CANADA

New Montreal demo tape from members of After The Bombs. This is more on the raw side of things, but with Janick's awesome vocals. Good sound quality on black printed tapes.

VACCUUM - 2nd 7" $5.50
IRUKANDJI//USA

Brand new EP from San Francisco's premier piss raw hardcore punk group. This one is a little less piss raw than the first EP (note that I said "a little"). It's more crusty and meaty...how does that grab you? I think I like how it grabs me. Black vinyl.

VACCUUM - SpaceFi CS $3.50
TERMINAL ESCAPE//USA

Spaced out noise release from San Francisco's Vaccuum. Transmissions from light years away.

"Second cassette release, with two songs from each of the two VACCUUM vinyl releases, but presented in entirely different "space fi" sound. 4 tracks, pro-dubbed/printed cassettes with printed covers." -Terminal Escape

NO STATIC - We All Die In The End CS $3.50
TERMINAL ESCAPE//USA

"Cassette version of the Prank Records 12" from 2010 with the A side from the Iron Lung Records 45 (so, a discography of sorts). 8 tracks, pro-dubbed/printed cassettes with printed covers." -Terminal Escape

OPT OUT - Demo CS $3.50
TERMINAL ESCAPE//USA

"This is the third run of our now not so new demo, but they have just been for sale at shows until now. Marginally active frustrated hardcore music from San Francisco with current/ex members of CONDENADA, ARTIMUS PYLE, BRILLIANT COLORS, DECONDITIONED and others. 8 tracks, pro-dubbed/printed cassettes with printed covers." -Terminal Escape

Also added: Nukkehammer - End It All Now Demos 12" (restock), Preying Hands - Through The Dark 12" (restock)

MÜLLTÜTE 7"

2011-10-16T22:25:00.003-04:00

MÜLLTÜTE 7" $5.00
SELF RELEASED//GERMANY

Debut 7" from this Deutch hardcore punk duo. 6 songs of great sounding, straightforward ugly hardcore from Berlin in the 80s tradition. This is one of the best HC eps that I have heard out of Germany in a long time. This really took me by surprise. No clean and weak sounding punk found here. Please bring more!
LISTEN here.

WARNING//WARNING - My world 7", No Response - 1983 demo LP

2011-10-10T09:30:00.000-04:00

WARNING//WARNING - My World 7" $4.00

I also have copies of this to wholesale, get in touch if interested.

NO RESPONSE - More Noise Pollution From Green Bay 12" $11.00

This is a nicely done LP release of this early 80s demo. Crazy, screamed vocals.

"At long last, I'm thrilled to present to you the vinyl reissue of legendary Green Bay WI Hardcore Punks NO RESPONSE's 1983 demo tape. 16 tracks of blown out raging HC that only Wisconsin fuck ups could produce. For fans of Die Kreuzen, S.U.M., Void and other "weird" shit. Remastered from the original tapes and pressed to heavy virgin vinyl. First pressing limited to 500 copies.

ネメシス (NEMESIS) - 慟哭 (Dou-Koku) 7" $4.50

I am happy to announce that this breath of fresh air is now available for North America.

Hailing from Fukuoka, Japan, NEMESIS (ネメシス) is a young band taking cues from UK hardcore punk but played with the speed and intensity of early WARHEAD / NIGHTMARE, with an underlying Kyushu twist that brings homemates KURO to mind. Aggressive vocals, gang choruses, powerful guitars and intense drumming: unmistakably Japanese, this band carries on in the tradition of the Selfish / Blood Sucker / Discrete Records roster. 4 tracks that go for the throat. Raw and pure energy. Split release with Flower Of Carnage and Ratbone.

2nd pressing of 500 is here. Same as the 1st pressing, but all black vinyl.

KRÖMOSOM / ISTERISMO - Hardcore Pollution split 7" (Hardcore Survives/Japan) ~~$9.00~~ **SOLD OUT

Killer new release from Japan's Hardcore Survives. Split 7" for the Krömosom Japanese tour with Isterismo. Comes with a tour poster. Japanese import.

AMENAÇA - Demo 2009 12" (Discos Enfermos/Spain) $10.50

Kudos to Erik/Social Napalm for bringing this ripper to the U.S.-

"There has been a long line of great raw, lo-fi DIY punk and hardcore bands coming out of Spain in recent years including the likes of Otan, Firmeza 10, Crimen de Estado, Invasión, and a slew of others, and i hope people will feel that Amenaça continue that tradition of quality. Although not a "ramshackle d-beat band with no bass" band, Amenaça still takes 1980s punk influences (BAP, L'Odi Social, and Subterranean Kids) and combines them with a grainy, raw recording to create an adrenalin charged HC sound. This 12" is actually the band's demo pressed to vinyl, but i don't think that fact hinders the quality at all. This is a three label split release being coordinated by Inti of the excellent Discos Enfermos label (http://anarcopunk.net/discosenfermos/) in Spain who is handling the European distribution with additional participation from Record Shop Base in Japan and Social Napalm in the US.

To preview a few of the tracks, please go to http://amenaca.interrupciones.net/ " -Social Napalm

ORGANIZED SPORTS - I'm So Proud Of Him 12" (BULKHEAD//USA - HIV TOWN//USA) $8.00

Debut 12" from Portland's Organized Sports. I haven't listened yet, but my magic 8 ball says this one will rage.

EXACERBACIÓN / PENIS GEYSER split CS (Smash Music//USA) $3.00

Brand new split tape with Costa Rican grinders Exacerbación and the noisecore assault of Penis Geyser.

YEUNG - You Will Live To Be Broken CS (Earth Noise Eternal//USA) $3.00

Brutal new output from the mastermind behind TSO/Sacred Tapes/Earth Noise. Live tracks featuring a Merkit cover, some new songs, some previously released.

BLACK HOLE OF CALCUTTA 7" (To Live A Lie//USA) $3.50

Two songs of monstrous grind and sludge from the bowels of Chico, California.

THE IMPALERS 7" (Todo Destruido//USA) ~~$4.50~~ **SOLD OUT

This was one of my favorite bands that I saw at Chaos In Tejas 2011. This Austin, TX band plays a wonderful mixture of Motorhead and Discharge...add some burly death-metal-ish vocals and there you have it. Awesome release, it is s shame if they call it quits.

GAS CHAMBER 12" (Warm Bath Label//USA) $8.00

"GAS CHAMBER contains the remastered recording from the previously available cassette and cd-r formats. These pieces consider the dichotomy between the animal nature of life and the relationship of humans to machines, as sapien minds steeped in violence give way to a droning, pacific, world technocracy/culture. Brutal hardcore with poisonous vocals shouldered by the dynamic noise of silver box and coffee can hum. Layers of guitars bleed over everything powered by a chorus of scorching distortion, partnered with fluttering bass-lines like birds in flight, and time as offered for repose." -Warm Bath

GAS CHAMBER - Corpse With Levity 7" (Warm Bath Label//USA) $3.50

"Six new songs; the product of two years of consideration and fermentation of ideas. A collaborative effort with the American folk artist Colossus of Roads, in which he created artwork demonstrating the subject of the music. Topics explored begin to create an arc as gnosticism, the pigeon as witness to human folly and social disease are dwelled on from the perspective of kairos. The vocals swell like a jug of rotten fluids prepared to spray indiscriminately, over drums that have become sick and mangled from the fall of hammers, while the bass and guitar have discovered each other as mitigating amongst a parade of obscene daily circumstances." -Warm Bath

DEATH TRAP - No Hicks 7" (Warm Bath Label//USA) $3.50

"Recorded in the early 80’s, and now being pressed for the first time ever, total KBD jams that will stick with you forever. Amazing material that has been languishing for far too long. Liner notes include a detailed history of the band as well as fliers." -Warm Bath

NUCLEAR CULT - Better Nightmares 7" (Warm Bath Label//USA) ~~$3.50~~ **SOLD OUT

"Nuclear Cult from Germany, with former members of now legendary bands including Y, PINK FLAMINGOS and SOLID DECLINE, have released their first EP. Impressive work that will give pause to anyone listening. A sophisticated recording of 14 songs that stands out like a lighthouse amongst modern hardcore bands." -Warm Bath

HERDS - Michigan 7" (Residue//USA) $3.50

Members from all over play heavy hardcore with a Midwestern Vibe, this is their most recent EP.

"Hauntingly dark lyrics about the decay and destruction of four cities in the state of Michigan that ends up feeling like a metaphor for the death of American prosperity. HERDS have really hit their mark on this recording…a perfect follow-up to their amazing LP out last year on Fashionable Idiots Records. Songs like “Iron Mountain” and “Bay City” will be slapping your brain and stay stuck in your skull for days." -Residue

AMEBIX - Knights Of The Black Sun 12" single (Profane Existence//USA) $10.00

For the first time in years, Amebix comes out with a brand new song, prepping us for a new album to come out in September - the Sonic Mass LP. This song has caused a little stir for old fans...90s alt crust? Or maybe you feel a little Hammerheart coming our way from the UK gods of crust? Love it or hate it, these guys are set on moving forward, so don't expect a rehash of the days of yore. This record is a one song, one-sided 12" with an etching on the other side. It also comes with a digital download of the song and an HD video. Pressing of 2000.

AMEBIX - Redux 12" E.P. (Profane Existence//USA) $10.00

3 song 12" E.P. of redone classics by current Amebix line up: Arise, Winter, Chain Reaction. Comes with an embroidered patch and download.

ICON GALLERY 12" L.P. (Dear Skull//USA) $10.00

After an awesome demo and 7", this is the new album from this tunefully dark Pittsburgh punk group. This comes in a nice, full color, gatefold cover. Well thought out songs, great guitar playing and catchy vocals with a strong voice...for fans of Signal Lost or Arctic Flowers- but don't expect them to just sound like those bands, they have their own thing going. I can't wait to hear more.

Avfall - Now! 7" (Hardcore Survives//Japan) $8.50

Killer new 7" from Hardcore Survives. Avfall from Tokyo play some great Swedish style hardcore punk, taking queues from the likes of Disarm, Mob 47 with their own twist. It is refreshing to just hear a young Japanese band playing stripped down hardcore without all the effects covering anything up. No hiding, these alcohol filled maniacs rip through 6 songs and never let up. This is their 2nd vinyl appearance following up their hard to find split 7" with Haava and comp tracks on a Terro-Rhythm CD. Hardcore or DIE!

I can do some wholesale on this one, get in touch.

Origin Of M 12" (Burai Core//USA) $8.50

GREAT LP from these veterans of Japanese hardcore. I was really impressed with their live performance at the Chaos In Tejas festival. Awesome Japanese hardcore with metallic riffing sprinkled throughout. This calls to mind greats like the Human Arts album. Ex-Goudon, don't sleep on this.

Gasmask Terror: Complete Recordings 2004 - 2010 CD (Flower Of Carnage//Japan +2) $6.00

Pressed for their Japanese tour, this is a great collection of their material up through the 2nd LP. Includes the demo, 2 EPs and 2 LPs.

Iron Lung interpret Brutal Supremacy in the form of a 3-part epic recorded at the Paincave in 2009. Mind Eraser deliver 4 songs that push the style of their last 7" even further. Hatred Surge bring 3 tracks that showcase the latest mutation of the band with Alex now sharing vocal duties with Rahi of Insect Warfare.

Perdition / Nerveskade split 7" (Distort Reality//USA) $4.00

Raw punk split from two of the hottest young bands in the genre. They both come from slightly different angles, essential release for fans of raw hardcore.

Nukkehammer - End It All Now Demos 12" (Hardware//Germany) ~~$14.00~~ **SOLD OUT**

Both 4 track demo tapes given vinyl treatment from Hardware Records. Housed in a thick cardboard, silk screened jacket. For people that like their raw punk to still sound hardcore.

Shaved Women - Live At Apop CS (Sacred//USA) $3.00

Killer new cassette from the great Sacred Tapes. A fist of hardcore coming straight at your face.

Stockpile 7" (Destroy Me//USA) $4.00

Their demo got people pumped up for what was to come from this Philadelphia D-beat punk group. This is the debut vinyl appearance. Unique sounding record, the drumming is hyper fast, it sounds like the drums are being drown down a flight of stairs. The dark tone and political lyrics give this a US 90s crusty vibe. Ex-members of Stations, .Nema and a Columbus transplant.

upcoming: ネメシス (NEMESIS) 7"

2011-06-25T22:08:00.007-04:00

I am happy to announce that Solar Funeral will be releasing a 7" by NEMESIS from Fukoka, Japan. It will be a split release with Flower Of Carnage and Ratbone.

On the first night of the Gasmask Terrör Japanese tour, they had a show in Fukuoka with the great AI, End Of Pollution and a young band from the area called Nemesis. We had heard good things about this band, but I wasn't sure what to expect. It was like a nuclear bomb detonated, we were all blown away by their power and savage stage performance, they stole the show as far as I was concerned. Even by the end of the tour, Nemesis remained one of the best bands that I saw, and that is no small feat considering all the greats that we encountered.

Don't be fooled by me saying that this is a young band, these aren't no noisenheimers...this is classic Japanese HC, with a strong 90s/late 80s JPHC vibe, influenced by the greats: Nightmare, Tetsu Arrey, Warhead, etc!

This will be their vinyl debut since the only other thing released by them so far are their tracks on the Twisted Generation Attack CD compilation released by Spread Imagination Records. Look out for this ripper to be ready by mid to late September.

2011-04-22T17:37:00.010-04:00

Some updates on shit that I have been involved with.

Nukkehammer - Soviet Rust Belt 7" E.P.

Mastering is done after a 2nd mixing job, the band is finally happy with it, so this is being sent to press so we can have them available for the Chaos In Tejas festival and west coast tour. 7 song, hell-puking studio recording from CDR in Columbus, this will have 5 songs, properly presented from the demo and 2 new ones. It is looking like this will be a split release between Solar Funeral, SPHC and Hesitation Wounds. Mastered by Audio Siege.

Gasmask Terrör - Like Daggers 7" E.P.

I will have a nice batch of these to distribute for North America after the Gasmask Terrör Japanese tour. I had a hand in helping get the vinyl pressed and I have to say that this is their best 7" yet, they just keep getting better with each release. Catchy riffs and vocals take you through these 4 songs and it ends before you know it, with you wanting more. I hear a little more rock and roll coming through on this one, I love it. Pressing of 500, released by Flower Of Carnage.

Silo - Ask The Question CS

This is a newer band with members of Fuckedforlife, Nukkehammer and Black Dove playing short songs of rough and loud d-beating hardcore punk. Silo recorded 9 songs of 4 track hell, some finishing touches and mixing is still needed on this, it is going to have to be on hold until we get a chance to revisit it. If this ends up sounding good enough, some tracks will appear on a cassette (released by Solar Funeral and Sacred Tapes) and the rest will go to 7" format.

Paralyzer 12" L.P.

After I return from Japan, this will be sent off to Mastering at Mammoth Sound. The band broke up, but not without leaving behind their legacy. This 12" is going to have the Counting Catastrophe recording on one side (for those of you that have heard their self released CD) and their final recording on the other. This is going to be a small press run; sadly, they rarely made appearances out of their hometown, but don't let that bias you. This band played short blasts of ferocious stop/start heavy hardcore drawing from various and asundry influences, but they were able to meld them in a way that gave them their unique sound. There is really no easy way to describe their sound, but try to imagine an early 2000s metallic hardcore band that takes influence from bands like Terror and No Comment (for the chord progressions and erratic song structure, not the blast beats). Members of Still Crossed, The Dead Hate The Living and Black Dove. Recorded by Chris Owens.

Betong Hysteria: Vi Vil Ikke Ha 7" E.P.

This is the U.S. pressing for an E.P. of previously unreleased demo tracks from under the radar (in these parts) Norwegian HC punk group. Betong Hysteria is mostly known for their great Spontan Abort 7", released in 1983. I can't express how excited I am to be a part of this great band's legacy. the U.S. version's packaging is going through a facelift, and I imagine this will get in full swing this summer. Split release with Video Disease.

Midnight 12" L.P.

Mastering is done, currently working on artwork. For those that don't know, this is the Midnight from Portland, Oregon, a defunct early 2000s HC punk band that took influence from Japanese bands like Crude and Judgement. Their demo was one of my favorites from that time period. One side is going to have the great cassette only demo and the other side will have the 2nd recording that was never released. This is going to be a pressing of 600, housed in a Stoughton tip-on sleeve. Midnight comes from a pedigree of great bands- Lebenden Toten, Lebanon, Limp Wrist, Needles, From Ashes Rise, etc. Mastered by Audio Siege.

2011-04-07T09:38:00.001-04:00

Distro Update

2011-04-03T23:10:00.012-04:00

Ok, I have been putting this update off for a while, but here it is. Lots of great stuff.

Brand new EPs from Denmark's ASSASSINATORS and Wisconsin's GET RAD on Halo Of Flies Records. The bizarre SPLATTERED SPLITTER: Demo 1988 7" for noisecore fans. A great compilation of comp, demo, and 7" tracks from classic Italian HC group PUTRID FEVER (ripping Italian HC but with more melody), reissue of the obscure NONCENS 7" from Sweden, of course, speaking of Sweden, there is also the MOB 47 EP reissue. In my opinion, no HC record collection is complete without this monstrosity.

There are a couple great additions from Finland - the Riistetyt (reissue) and Sotatila (2nd 7") EPs. I also grabbed a couple of the new CIDER 7", to show my love for the disgusting state of Ohio. Two great releases from the almighty Sacred Tapes label- beautifully done cassette version of GASMASK TERRÖR's most recent album and the BLACKEST WOODS CS. I also got a restock of the awesome HONDARTZAKO HONDAKINAK demo cassette. All great stuff, in my book, here is the full list of new stuff:

Dispense 7", Small Doses comp, Nightfall 7", Torture Unit demo CS

2011-01-28T23:57:00.015-05:00

DISPENSE: Nothing But The Truth 7" $4.50

Rødel Records//Germany

"From Nykoping, Sweden, Dispense's debut 7" was originally released as a collaboration between No Records (run by Björn of Disfear) and Finn Records in 1993 before it was licensed for reissue to Rødel Records. Dispense were part of the early to mid '90s Swedish hardcore scene that helped expand upon the sound that had been started by bands such as Anti-Cimex and Discard in the '80s. The result is powerful Discharge influenced hardcore that equally draws from crust, raw punk, and Dis-core. Fans of Bombraid, early Disfear, Totalitär, Anti-Bofors, Driller Killer, Dismachine, Dischange, Wolfpack, early Genocide SS, 3 Way Cum, and many others from that era will likely also enjoy this release. Dispense later released the "In The Cold Of The Night" 3" CD on Really Fast Records (1994) as well as three tracks on the "Distortion To Hell" compilation CD put out by Distortion Records (1994). Bassist Johan and guitarist Marcus would later go on to play in Victims and drummer Kalle went on to drum for Skitsystem."

V/A SMALL DOSES 100 band compilation CD $8.00

Mortville//USA

Holy shit this is amazing. Nicely done, 100 band noisecore compilation. Great packaging, I am really impressed with this. Really cool die-cut cover with an awesome write up about the feeling of futility in the involvement in the noisecore scene. Here is the description from Mortville:

"MORT:056 V/A - "Small Doses" CD (This is the one everyone's been waiting for, the final nail in Mortville's coffin! This was easily the most ambitious project I've taken on in my 13 years of doing the label and it took me 13 months to put it all together. "Small Doses" is a 100 band international grind/noisecore CD compilation with all bands averaging 30 seconds. 100 bands in 44 minutes packaged with a 40 page booklet (including 5 pages of essays) and a die-cut folder:

INEPSY: Madness And Overkill 12" LP pic disk $9.00

FERAL WARD//USA

Inepsy from Montréal nailed it on this one. Some people were disappointed with the 3rd LP, they thought it was too rock and roll (I liked it), but on this one, they hit their stride with a great midway point between punk and rock and roll. This is one of my favorite bands of the past decade, and I am hungry for more.

HELLSHOCK: Ghosts Of The Past 12" $10.00

BLACK WATER//USA

Nice vinyl treatment of the Hellshock demo on LP. Tip on sleeve, get this demo of Bolt Thrower & 80s crust worship on the best format.

REALITY CRISIS: Discharge Your Frustration 12" LP $9.00

WHISPER IN DARKNESS//USA

Vinyl treatment of the most recent album from this great, long running Japanese crustcore band. Howling and screaming vocals under a backdrop of perfectly sloppy hardcore punk with some dark melody. Great.

MASSHYSTERI s/t 12" LP $10.00

FERAL WARD//USA

Amazing 2nd LP from these Swedes, US pressing on Feral Ward with a tip on cover strong enough to withstand a nuclear blast. Members of The Vicious and Regulations.

DESPERATE HOURS: The Ironies Of Life Continue... 7" $5.00

KONTON CRASHER//USA

Translated description from Punk And Destroy:
"Stealing their name from an Anti-cimex song, this Californian three piece fits in with their west coast contemporaries MUNDO MUERTO, NERVESKADE, and HELPLESS. This EP is a follow-up to their 2010 DEMO with a more polished and explosive sound; think aggressive, thrashing metal tinged guitar, thundering D-Beat rhythms, and angry, angry vocals combined into a crushing monster of Scandi-infulenced crust. Fans of the previously mentioned bands, along with NYC's NOMAD, PERDITION, and CERVIX, shouldn't sleep on this. 500 copies."

SACRED TAPES jams

2011-01-13T21:28:00.012-05:00

Just got a box of great looking new releases from Sacred. People that know this label, know that he always goes all out 120%.

YEUNG: You Will Never Know CS $3.00

Sacred//USA

"Inhuman one man drum machine grind." Violent project by the man behind Sacred Tapes, himself. Named after the one and only Bolo Yeung (if you don't know who this is, there's no hope for you in my world). This is so perfect knowing his love of bloody 80s action movies like Stone Cold, Blood Sport, Cyborg, etc. If you aren't a full on grind maniac, don't be immediately turned off because this has enough tempo changes and thrash beats to keep even me interested. Obviously, this is beautifully packaged just like everything that Sacred Tapes (formerly TSO) does. Aces.

DRUGGED SS: I Hate What You Think About My Life CS ~~$3.00~~ **SOLD OUT

Sacred//USA - Ormeyngel//Norway

Lo-fi noisy hardcore with sludgey tempo changes filled with angst, hate and despair. Beautifully packaged with obi.

DARK TIMES Demo CS $3.00

Sacred//USA - Ormeyngel//Norway

Dark noise rock from Norway with female vocals. 5 songs.

Penis Geyser / Lotus Fucker split 7" record release show

2011-01-04T16:11:00.005-05:00

This is going to be split release between Solar Funeral and SPHC, we are aiming to have the record ready for this show in Columbus on 1/14/11. This is the first show of a 3 day mini tour for the two bands.

Fri, January 14 - Columbus OH at The Legion of Doom with Mugger, Silo, Outlast

Sat, January 15 - Lexington KY at HammerHead House with Asadachi, Lynch Mob, Globsters

Sun, January 16 - Knoxville TN at Poison Lawn with Argentinum Astrum and one more

For those not in the know, Penis Geyser is a Columbus group (until recently) that plays some of the most extreme and interesting music ever to grace our small, local DIY scene. Their first tape was about a minute and a half long, and had over 20 songs listed, if that gives you an idea. This will be their 2nd vinyl appearance, after the split 7" with Japan's Napalm Death Is Dead. Before that, they released 3 (I think?) different cassettes. Needless to say, I am ecstatic to help document a part of Penis Geyser's existence.

Lotus Fucker is a raw punk group from Washington D.C./Baltimore. It took me about .5 seconds to say "yes" to the idea of making the Penis Geyser record a split with Lotus Fucker. If I am counting correctly, at this late hour in my work day, this will be their 4th vinyl appearance, and their material on this split will not disappoint any fans of their brand of hell-noise hardcore.

Ordering details to come around the record release show.

Fatum CS, new Slang LP, Hellkontroll 10"

2011-01-03T19:12:00.013-05:00

FATUM: Skverna CS $4.00

MAD FLY//RUSSIA

Nasty stenchcore crust from Russia, 7 song tape with a foldout lyric poster layout, includes a Hellhammer and Bathory cover. You don't get to hear many quality bands like this these days, this tape was a treat when it showed up in the mail. Lo-fi recording, unlike the more produced sounding stuff of today, so this is reminiscent of 80s the bands like Hellbastard, Sacrilege, etc. Fucking cool.

SLANG: Life Made Me Hardcore 12" LP $16.00

PRANK//USA

Brand new LP from Japan's Slang. This was highly anticipated after they blew everyone away on their 2010 tour of the USA. Brutally thick Stoughton gatefold, on red vinyl and comes with a poster/lyric insert. Be prepared for some thick, heavy Japanese hardcore. I am expecting this to be a top 10 LP for 2010 for me.

HELLKONTROLL: Wanker War 10" EP $10.00

VINYL RITES//USA

Intense, raw crustcore from Florida. Comes in a really nice looking silver and black silk screened cover. I love the minimal artwork.

D.S.B./Assassinators split 7", Lobotomia- Extinção 12", In Disgust/Massgrave split 7", Brainkiller 7", etc.

2010-12-14T22:57:00.016-05:00

D.S.B. / Assassinators split 7" $4.00

Recently released split by these two great bands. Add another solid record to both of these bands' rosters. D.S.B from Japan offer two songs and The Assassinators from Denmark do the same.

Lobotomia - Extinção 12" $10.00

NEW LP from this long running Brazilian thrash group. This new record stays pretty true to the songwriting on their older material but with modern production.

Brainkiller - Demo 7" $4.00

6 demo great tracks from 2008 put to vinyl.

In Disgust / Massgrave split 7" $4.00

Split ep of blast beat mania ready to shred your ears.

Also added: Infame - II 12", Defect Defect 12"

OTTAWA 12" LP reissue!

2010-12-08T20:34:00.006-05:00

OTTAWA 12" $9.00

Upgraded reissue from the Ottawa side of their elusive split LP from the mid 90s with fellow Michigan-ers Jihad. The samples have been taken out, the production remixed and thickened, new artwork on nice, thick cardstock. 13 heavy, crust-core smashers recorded in 1994 previous to the formation of Nema. They only played a handful of shows, I was lucky enough to catch a couple devastating songs once upon a time in Dayton, OH at a More Than Music Fest. It's difficult to compare this to anything, but if I was forced to, I would say that it is in a similar vein to the first Drop Dead LP. One time pressing of 750.
RESIDUE RECORDS//USA

NIGHTBRINGER 7" EP

2010-12-07T22:09:00.005-05:00

Nightbringer s/t 7" $4.25

Long awaited debut 7" from this Michigan based hardcore group. 3 song EP taking influence from 2000s era Japanese hardcore greats such as Rocky And The Sweden, Forward, etc. Great stuff, psyched that their records are starting to hit. Brown vinyl.
High Anxiety//USA

Gasmask Terrör: Black Sun/Fake Gold 12" LP now available for North America!

2010-12-05T22:56:00.010-05:00

AVAILABLE NOW! 2nd 12" and the perfect follow up to their 'Architects Of Death' 7". Crashing cymbals, distortion and ugly honesty assault your ears, as I believe hardcore punk is meant to be heard. In a sea of lazy music, this great band is a beacon in the night. This is the 4th record from this French group, don't look here if you're searching for a mellow time. 11 tracks, pressing of 700, split release with I Feel Good from France.

Following a bit of a delay, these are finally available for North America. After setting up a 2 week Eastern U.S. tour (+ one Canada date) for them in 2008 and now releasing their 2nd 12" LP, I hope to clue in the North American masses to the greatness of this band. There are thousands of generic, boring bands playing hardcore, d-beat, crust, what-have-you, but I believe that this band from Bordeaux, France is the real artifact and I am honored to take part in their new LP. I can only hope that others out there will share my love of this band!

$10.00 plus shipping for those living in the USA, $15.75 ppd. (includes postage) for Canada/Mexico. Order at: solar-funeral.org.

Brand new 7" for this great Danish band's 2nd U.S. tour. This is their third record, following an amazing 7" originally put out by Kick-N-Punch (but available in the U.S. from Fashionable Idiots) and a 12" released by No Way and Hjernespind. This is the silk screened tour version of this new record. I only have a few. Great, catchy Copenhagen punk.

CAPTIVES - Unspeakable Truths demo CS $3.00

New hardcore punk band from Cincinnati who has been practicing and going through line up changes for the past year+. Finally started playing shows and got this 9 song demo tape together. This comes with a lyric insert on a home dubbed pure black cassette. Lyrical content ranges from topics such as cosmic wrath to the sadness in the streets of Cincinnati. From the members of Paralyzer, Fuckedforlife, Black Dove, Tumor Feast, Still Crossed, etc. You can't neatly pigeon-hole this band, but to me, it is reminiscent of a more raw Holy Mountain. Ohio hardcore punk lives!

Flower Of Carnage//Japan - Kick Rock//France

NUKLEAR BLAST SUNTAN - Blot Out The Useless Sun 12" $8.00

"A difficult record to describe, which is why I like it so much. Alternating between short/fast/loud ragers and mid-tempo punk stompers, this has its roots in Disrupt/Destroy-styled crustcore (complete with absolutely scathing female vocals), but is certainly more dynamic and ambitious than any other band of that ilk. Heavy on the noise, but not in a raw recording or hyper-distorted treble way, instead with heavily affected psyched out guitars and lots of alien bleeps-and-bloops feedback. Real interesting arrangements and pacing leads to an engaging listen from start to finish, never falling into the monotony of brutality that a lot of bands of this ilk do."
-SPHC
I liken this band to Disrupt meets Hawkwind. Wait...what?
SPHC//USA

ANXIETY - Pathetic 12" EP $8.00

"Nine songs here that, to me, it sounds like late '80s British HC. I'd say Electro Hippies, Atavistic, that Terrorain demo 7" a bit or Death Sentence from Australia. It's got a lot of echo on the vocals and really negative and pessimistic lyrics with an appropriately raw recording. I hope people will be willing to take a chance on this. If you're into late '80s UKHC, check this out."
-SOCIAL NAPALM

"Very cool tape originally released in August of 2001 on A.L.P. Tapes out of Sweden which was run by Krogh from Blindead Productions/Dömd fanzine. The B side of the tape features tracks from two different Mob 47 rehearsal/demo recording sessions. The first song was recorded in February of 1985, while tracks 2-19 were recorded at the last Mob 47 rehearsal ever in September of 1986 (until they reformed in 2005). The A side of the tape features bands all paying tribute to Mob 47 by covering some of their classic and best songs."
-Social Napalm
ALP Tapes//Sweden

BLOODKROW BUTCHER / GASMASK TERRÖR split CS $3.00

"Split tape between a two hardcore punk bands playing raw and distorted music. Bloodkrow Butcher from Lowell, Massachusetts are heavily influenced by Discharge and 1980s Scandinavian hardcore like Anti-Cimex. I think the thing that what sets BKB apart from many bands doing this style is that they use catchy riffs with hooks to convey an urgency and power in their music instead of just beating the listener over the head with a pounding drum beat. Their side contains a live on the radio set as well as a four song demo. Gasmask Terrör from France has been around for a while with several releases including a 12" EP already out. This tape compiles their out of print "Architects Of Death" 7", an unreleased four track recording, and a live show recording. I think their gem here is the ripping unreleased song that reminds me a lot of No Security and Totalitär."

Great punk band from NYC that I recently had the pleasure of seeing. I don't even know what to compare this to, although it's clear they are taking some cues from Disorder.

I got a few of these in the mail today. Split that came out for Slang from Japan's U.S. tour with Boston's Mind Eraser. I especially like the Sugi artwork on this one because it is basically saying that cats are better than dogs.

I also added these beauties from Sacred Tapes about a week ago.

Cesspool Of Desolation

2010-08-25T23:25:00.020-04:00

Ok, catching up on some awesome shit that I have collected over the past couple months. My pal Alex released this Portal E.P. and I have a few copies of Counterfeit Garbage zine issue 4, hot off the press. I can't tell you how excited I was to get the Kieltolaki 12". Absolutely raging fucking mad Finnish hardcore punk. Their previous comp tracks and 7"s blew my head off, so this LP is a treat, and it didn't let me down. Also, I have to mention new Systematic Death material....who would have thought that we would get the privilege of hearing a new Systematic Death album in 2010?! Another favorite of mine in this batch is the Varaus 12". Really nice, sturdy, tip-on gatefold cover. Amazing collection of raw hardcore documenting this Finnish band's legacy. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it, in my opinion. Let's not forget the Complications LP...how long have we all been waiting for this thing to come out?! All this stuff is great, this is a massively impressive batch of records that Feral Ward recently released.

COMPLICATIONS 12" $9.50

MORNE: Untold Wait 12" $10.00

Miscellaneous droppings

2010-08-06T14:31:00.016-04:00

Ok, I am hoping to give some realistic expectations on what is in store for the label and some of the bands that I am involved in. I've been getting emails on stuff, so hopefully this helps!

Gasmask Terrör's excellent new 12", Black Sun/Fake Gold is almost ready. It is a split release with the French label, I Feel Good. I am really looking forward to this, the tracks are fucking mean, more along the lines of their 'Architects Of Death' E.P.

The Nukkehammer: Future Of Siberia cassette is finally going to see the light of day, it will be a split release between Solar Funeral and Life Rot. After this, look out for some vinyl to litter the planet. Nukkehammer is also planning on doing some shows this year, including the Varning From Montreal festival. I will post these up once they are finalized.

Vile Gash have plans to record for a 12" and 7" single at some point soon. The single will come first. There has also been talk about playing some West coast U.S. shows in 2011.

The Paralzyer 12" has been on hold for a little while now, and instead of being a one sided 12", it will also include a new recording on the other side. The band is broken up, so hopefully they keep with the plan and the recording happens later this year. The band did release the Counting Catastrophe recording in a nice, digipack CD format, so pick that up from me or the band if interested.

The early 2000s Portland band, Midnight, have found the lost 2nd recording, so this means that the 12" will actually happen! For those of you that have the demo recording, you know that this deserves vinyl treatment, I am happy to say that it looks like it will be on its way. The 12" will have their great demo and the 2nd recording. Your guess is as good as mine as to when this will come to fuition, I'm hoping sometime soon. Fingers crossed.

I was orginally planning on doing an E.P. with Columbus's premier noise-core group, Penis Geyser. That has now morphed into a split 7" with Baltimore/D.C.'s Lotus Fucker. Double the pleasure! The plan is to get this monster going later this year. This will be a split release with Dan from LF's label.

Black Dove has yet to complete the recording for 2 upcoming 7"s. The music is done, we just need to get the vocals ripped out of our throats. It's a bit of a departure from the 12", but we're happy with how everything is turning out so far. It's hard to say what is actually different about it...it just is. In other Black Dove news, Carter (drummer) and Dascha have unleashed their mutant spawn unto the blackened Earth (they had a baby). I wish the best of luck to them and their little Henry Gherman Gilles!

Lastly, watch out for a demo tape from Silo to appear soon, I guess this band is like a mid-way point between Black Dove and Nukkehammer with some Bathory riffs?

Warning//Warning: My World ep

2010-05-09T21:46:00.010-04:00

WARNING//WARNING: My World 7" **SOLD OUT**

Label: FLOWER OF CARNAGE//JAPAN, KICK ROCK//FRANCE

Great 6 song 7" by this French raw punk band. Perfect follow up to their self released demo. Members of GASMASK TERRÖR playing noisy hardcore in the vein of CONFUSE, GAI, ATROCIOUS MADNESS, LEBENDEN TOTEN, etc. Great shit.

**Sorry, now sold out...get them from Damaging Noise, Last Chaos, Feral Ward or Man Of 1000 Masks, thanks!**

I still have a few Vile Gash eps.

VILE GASH 7" and PENIS GEYSER / NAPALM DEATH IS DEAD split 7"

2010-04-21T21:38:00.021-04:00

How fitting that both these bands are added in the same update. No, "Vile Gash" doesn't mean what you think it might mean. Hardcore kids are cretins, but come on, shame on you. Penis Geyser, on the other hand, might actually mean what you think it means...well, probably not.

PENIS GEYSER / NAPALM DEATH IS DEAD 7" ~~$3.50~~ SOLD OUT

Label: ______//USA

Fantastic noisecore release from Columbus, Ohio. PENIS GEYSER is one of my favorite local bands and their debut vinyl appearance did not disappoint me. They have a couple previous tape releases if you want to try to track them down. NAPALM DEATH IS DEAD, from Japan's side is great as well, I don't want to play them down, but I just love PG so much. Honestly, I don't know enough of this genre to give you influences or relative bands to compare this record to. In Punk layman's terms: try to imagine listening to a Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh! comp with the songs all done by two different bands. Shit rules.

VILE GASH 7" ~~$5.00~~ SOLD OUT

Label: Youth Attack!//USA

10 song E.P. of cut throat, raw hardcore punk from Columbus, Ohio. Piercing guitars and cymbals constantly blast your ears until the dirge on track 10. Lyrical content focuses on the misanthropic; fleshing out frustrations of mundane life. Nice thick, simple cardstock cover with an inner pocket sleeve to house the record. People always get shit when they try to compare bands, but let's hope it will be more helpful than a bunch of vague adjectives. Imagine a more modern mixture of the YDI and Negative Approach 7"s plus a little bit of Discharge. Black vinyl.

Also added the BESTHÖVEN / BETON split 7" ($4.00) to the online list, forgot to add it, I have 2 left.

N/N: Pasivos Muerto 7", NEEDLES: Desastre 7", SELFISH/FORCA MACABRA cassette

2009-12-01T22:17:00.014-05:00

NEEDLES: Desastre 7" **SOLD OUT**

Label: Lengua Armada//USA

RIPPING new 6 song 7" from this band with members of Crudos, Limp Wrist & Talk Is Poison. Great riffs, drumming, not to mention Martin's voice sounds the best that it has ever sounded. Don't miss this. Fucking aces.

N/N: Pasivos Muerto 7" $4.00

Label: Lengua Armada//USA

Brand new 2nd ep from this California group with Martin from Crudos on vocals. More on the punk end of the hardcore spectrum than Needles. Lyrics in Spanish, great shit as well.

SELFISH / FORCA MACABRA: split live CASSETTE $3.00

Label: Not Very Nice Tapes//USA

Split live tape from these monsters from Finland. Pro-dubbed on printed cassettes. Selfish live set from 2002 and Forca Macabra from 2003.

Vile Gash: Leech Cassingle

2009-11-10T00:26:00.005-05:00

VILE GASH: Leech Cassingle ***SOLD OUT***

Label: Life-Rot//USA

This is the 5th and most recent cassette release from Columbus Ohio's VILE GASH. 3 tracks of coarse, barely listenable hardcore punk. One of these songs will appear on a new recording for an upcoming 10 song 7" and the other 2 are exclusive to this tape, one of which is a YDI cover. Lo-fi 4 track analog recording on a printed tape.

Nightmare/Skitkids ep, Nightmare/Crude/Burial lp, Assassinators lp, Counterfeit Garbage #2

2009-10-14T18:40:00.020-04:00

V/A Axis Of Wolves: Nightmare/Crude/Burial three way split 12" (one sided) $14.00

Released by: Hate Records//Germany

Crucial 3 way split between these monster bands. Originally released in Japan by H:G Fact as CD only, here we get the much deserved gatefold vinyl treatment. Although $14 is a bit too much for a one sided 12" for most people, die hards need not think twice. Nightmare from Japan are the clear highlights, here for me. 2 crushing jackhammer brutalizations in their typical fashion. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the Burial (Germany) songs, this is the best stuff of theirs that I have heard, so far. Crude from Hakodate, Japan also offer up two songs...raw, lo-fi cuts that were later re-issued with a proper recording on 7".

Nightmare/Skitkids split 7" $6.00

Released by: Hate Records//Germany

German repress of another H:G Fact, Japanese release. Nice, thick fold over covers. There are no low points to this record: two of the world's best hardcore punk bands, in my opinion. Skitkids from Sweden play their brand of hardcore that sounds about like AC/DC filtered through Criminal Trap era Anti-Cimex. Nightmare from Japan do what they do best, oppress with a blazing hardcore jackhammer attack. One of my favorite EPs to come out in the past couple years. Don't sleep on it.

The Assassinators: Sigt Efter Hjertet 12" $14.00

Released by: Alerta Antifascista//Germany

Fantastic debut full length from this Danish melodic punk band. When it comes to melodic punk, the Danes have been doing it best, as of late. A little more clean than their demo and 7", but still great, nonetheless. Comes will a thick booklet and enough melody to make the dead dance. Be sure to catch them on their Northeastern U.S./Canadian tour.

Counterfeit Garbage issue #2 $2.00

Issue #2 from these Chicago maniacs. Matt from Duress and Tall Rob, who now lives in Columbus. Obliteration & Vile Gash interviews, record reviews, story of seeing the Inmates, etc. Really well done and fun to read punk zine.

DESTINO FINAL, INVASIÓN, MAGNICIDE, EXECUTION TECHNIQUES

2009-10-05T22:22:00.013-04:00

DESTINO FINAL: Atrapados CD $10.00

Released by: H:G Fact

Japanese release of the Atrapados album on CD. Fantastic band from Barcelona, Spain. They were one of the best bands that I saw at Chaos En Tejas 2009, if not THE best. Fierce, primal raw punk with a filthy sounding delay on the vocals, in a similar vein of their previous band, INVASIÓN, with a slight membership change. The new drummer makes them that much better. 9 songs.

INVASIÓN: Discografia Completa CD $10.00

Released by: H:G Fact

INVASIÓN were the precursor to DESTINO FINAL, from Spain. They started in 2004, released a s/t 12" and the La Caza 12" after a demo. This Japanese released CD compiles all of this material. Great fucking band. 21 songs of non-stop, raw punk.

MAGNICIDE: Rise To The Annihilation CD $10.00

Released by: H:G Fact

Sickening, brutal grindcore from Singapore in the vein of 324. 14 nightmare tracks released by H:G Fact. Not for cowards.

***Sorry, no orders to Japan on the H:G Fact stuff. Please order them from H:G Fact.

EXECUTION TECHNIQUES: Save Your Breath CASSETTE $3.00

(Holy Brethren edition)

Released by: Sacred Tapes

Demented, one man drum machine noise-grind from Chains, living in proximity to that putrid stench in Gary, Indiana. That has to contort your brain in ways unimaginable. Lyrical inspiration from horror/slash flicks over a battery of jagged and dry landscapes. Holy Brethren edition comes in a hand sewn & silk screened sleeve.

PREYING HANDS: Through The Dark 12"

2009-08-18T22:11:00.005-04:00

PREYING HANDS: Through The Dark 12" $8.00

Released by: Inimical

From the ashes of the Canadian band, BALLAST, comes PREYING HANDS, taking the next logical step for what could be said to be the third BALLAST LP. The sound has congealed to overtly melodic while still keeping the rawness and raging feel of a hardcore punk band. I hear all kinds of great influences, from Post Regiment to The Avengers to Propagandhi. Nice guitar arrangements with smart drumming that only adds to the ambiance of this record. Spoke's vocals have also taken a great step forward on this release. Great album, can't wait to see what they do next.

I just had the privilege of spending 3 days with these fine folk, really great band to see live, don't miss out, if you get the chance.

ATAKKE: Avalanche 7"

2009-08-18T22:03:00.004-04:00

ATTAKKE: Avalanche 7" ***SOLD OUT***

Released by: Mountains Of Madness

3 song new 7" from this NYC band. They are going for a more metal approach, this time, with influence from the pilgrims of the original crust sound, Hellbastard, for example. This, coupled with competent instrumentation and modern production puts ATAKKE in league with the likes of HELLSHOCK. The new sound is definitely a change for the better, if you ask me. The brutal riffs and Chloe's piercing demon vocals are sure to send shivers down your spine.

CHEST PAIN Demo tape - Holy Brethren Edition

2009-08-04T23:49:00.005-04:00

In other news,
The Nukkehammer recording for the 2nd demo tape, has just been completed. From here, it will be about 2-3 more weeks before The Future Of Siberia is unleashed.

CRUDE: 1999 12"

2009-07-13T20:02:00.005-04:00

CRUDE: 1999 12" ***SOLD OUT***

Released by: Feral Ward

Finally, this unrelenting Hakodate classic is reissued! A healthy stock of these just added to the distro.

Following up on the heels of the repress for the Attitude 12", their devastating 2nd album was repressed as well, in due time. This is actually my favorite CRUDE lp, more focus on raging and a little less soloing. A classic Japanese hardcore punk album.

ANATOMIA: Shreds Of Putrefaction 10"

2009-06-28T23:32:00.004-04:00

ANATOMIA: Shreds Of Putrefaction 10" $10.00

Released by: Nuclear War Now!//USA

NWN! description:
From the ashes of the Japanese death metal godfathers Transgressor comes Anatomia. Anatomia takes several steps back while removing any progressive elements of Transgressor to opt for a stripped down doomy death metal style made famous by bands like Autopsy and Incantation. This 10″ contains their debut demo plus an unreleased Repulsion cover played at Anatomia speed.

I have one DIE HARD version available for $15.00.

JUDGEMENT, CROW & ACEPHALIX 7"s !

2009-06-18T17:13:00.006-04:00

3 killer new Prank releases just added to the distro.

Well, it seems Prank is out of the JUDGEMENT 7"s already and it doesn't look like a repress is imminent. One per person, please...thanks.

JUDGEMENT: Just Be...7" $5.00
Prank description:
JUDGEMENT “JUST BE” was originally released as a CD- Only EP by Tokyo’s HG FACT label in 2001. This was the debut release of the Tokyo bands final line up Comprised of Japanese legends: Guitarist ZIGYAKU ( GUDON, HALF YEARS, BASTARD), Drummer MUKAI ( CHICKEN BOWELS, DEATHSIDE) and then-new members singer JHA JHA ( LIPCREAM) and bassist SAKURA. Combining the best elements of the band’s previous works with an upbeat spirit, high energy drumming and incredible guitar riffs, “JUST BE” is another landmark in the band’s impressive catalog of now classic 7” ep’s dating back to the band’s origins in the mid 1990’s. This is the first time these four tracks appear on vinyl. Split release with HG FACT released for JUDGEMENT’s recent US performance at Austin’s CHAOS IN TEJAS Festival.

CROW: Flock Of Beast 7" $4.00
Prank description:
Tokyo Legends CROW return with two new blasting tracks of Doomy Metallic Punk Mayhem – “FLOCK OF BEAST” and “FLOCK OF BEAST 2”. Thundering deeper into epic, mid tempo metallic territory on the A-side with CROW’s trademark gravel-drawn vocals over searing riffs, this EP echoes their recent “THE BEATING OF THE WINGS OF DESTRUCTION” 12” by exploding on the B-side into ferocious, fast paced hardcore. CROW origins date back to the early Japanese punk scene of the 1980’s, but they have attacked in the last decade with a renewed intensity, culminating this decade in two US tours and a second Album “Bloody Tear” which was released in the U.S. by Prank in 2007. This most recent recording testifies they have no intention of letting up that ferocious Intensity!!!

ACEPHALIX 7" $4.00
Prank description:
A brutal combination of Low end Metallic Distortion, Pummeling riffs and Gnarled vocals, San Francisco's ACEPHALIX's Debut 4 song 7" takes influence from all over the map of Extreme music-from CELTIC FROST to CRO-MAGS and INTEGRITY, from WOLFPACK and Later ANTI-CIMEX to SACRILEDGE and AXEGRINDER, but has hammered out and forged it's own sound by relentless gigs around the SF Bay Area over the past year. Featuring current and former members of THE RIFFS, DEPRESSOR, POISON IDEA, DEFIANCE, DEATHCHARGE and BLOWN TO BITS, this is the heaviest thing prank has released in almost fifty releases, a modern attack yet reminiscent of early classic prank releases by DAMAD, ELDOPA 1332 and the bleak punk metal fusions of the late 90's and early 00's. First printing in a foil stamped sleeve.

CHEST PAIN s/t cassette in stock

2009-06-17T22:06:00.003-04:00

CHEST PAIN s/t cassette $3.00

Released by: T.S.O.//USA

Just added to the distro section at: www.solar-funeral.org.

T.S.O. strikes again with this new cassette from this Austin, TX group. As usual, cool fucking layout. Spray painted cassette shells, screen printed cases, lyrics included. Upon first listen, this reminds me a lot of New York's DEVOID OF FAITH. Throw some LACK OF INTEREST in there and you've got 6 songs of furious, blast beat leaden, heavy hardcore from CHEST PAIN.

Wind up spark-shooting Nun, not included.

SUBVERSION E.P. (Belgium 1983)

2009-06-13T09:50:00.000-04:00

SUBVERSION 7" $3.50

Released by: GAME OF THE ARSEHOLES//USA

Great legitimate reissue of this Belgian group's tracks from 1983! From the "Second Time Around" cassette comp and the "Bollox To The Gonads - Here's The Testicles" comp LP. This 7" comes packed with some good information- interviews, flyer artwork, cassette artwork, etc. This is a nice document for this Discharge influenced group, they have been under the radar for too long.

I managed to get some of these from Stuart during Chaos In Tejas. Really nice job on these. Recommended for fans of old, nasty, lo-fi hardcore punk. Order at www.solar-funeral.org. Orders from outside the U.S.A., please email for a shipping price.

Nukkehammer demo review in MRR #131 June 2009

2009-06-08T19:01:00.000-04:00

Maximum Rock N Roll review of the Nukkehammer demo in the June 2009 issue.

The band is currently working on a second tape of 6 new songs. Soon after, the band will record for some vinyl releases.

For those looking, you can still mailorder a few copies of the demo from 16oh (USA) or Plague Bearer (Denmark). TSO, Solar Funeral and band copies are gone.

Download the full demo --> here. (zip file: 19862 kb)
