12/12 - 12/14/15

 Totally forgot to put this up and keep a good playlist, work and life tend to get in the way.


12/12/15
--------
Entombed - Clandestine LP
 - I've been in a Death Metal mood lately.

Bolt Thrower - For Victory LP
 - So glad to see a sloth of Bolt Thrower reisues in the past few years.

Dismember – Death Metal 2xLP
 - I know it is not everyone's favorite album but there are some damn good tracks on this album.

--------
12/14/15
--------

Asinine Solution - Cause Effect 7"
 - One of my favorite recordings of all time. This seven inch is catchy and fast. The Wisconsin scene was totally underrated at the time and that was too bad for everyone else.

Assbrigade - Demo 2012 Tape
 - Yeah, I listen to my own band's music...so fucking what.

Zero Hour - Self Titled 7"
 - Still, these songs are great. The B-Side/Side B; these are some the strongly contructed to date in this genre.

Defiance - No Future No Hope LP
 - Yep, kinda drunk and this album still reigns true.

Nightfell - Darknss Evrmore LP
 - HOLY SHIT! I am listening to this album more.

Neurosis - Soverin EP 12"

Playlist : 12/3/15 - 12/8/15

12/3/15

Warning - Protest And... Still They Die? 7" (1993?)
 - I still think that this EP is a bit of a let down. Their sound is super stripped down to a less raw early eighties Discharge style and lacks the power that it really is striving for. But recording techniques have changed a bit since this recording.

Peroxide - Can You Hear The Sound Of Peace? 7" (2012)
 - The chain saw buzz of the guitar mixed with a precious bass attack, over hard hitting drums with a howling voice are deafening my ears! 'Nuclear Solution' is totally my favorite of this slab of madness.

Genocide / Sorto ?– Final Path To Destruction LP (2005)
 - Genocide's recording from 1993, is fucking tight as hell and full of desperation. Sorto's '83-84' demo side are totally chaotic as hell and distorted as fuck.

Napalm Raid - Mindless Nation LP (2012)
 - Totally, DOOM, crustcore worship done in the best fucking way.

Totalt Jävla Mörker - Helvetespunk 7" (2015)
 - It's been a while since their last release. The metal influence really was knocked up a few notches but in a damn good way.

Asfixia - Self Titled 7" (2006)
 - Really, this group should have been up there with Ekkaia and Cop On Fire. Totally raging melodic hardcore.

Contagium - Self Titled 7" (2009)
 - Sludgy and metallic crust is quite possibly my favorite style of punk. This EP is dead on within that vein of heavy overkill.

Abaddon - Life Out of Balance LP (2009)
 - Some excellent grind/death from Wisconsin.

Zero Hour - Self Titled 7" (1994)
 - That mid ninties crust-punk is at it's best within these four tracks.

Off to work.

Scatha - After The Dust Settles 2xLP

Scatha - After The Dust Settles 2xLP

-When I got intrested in the whole Crust scene I saw a few Scatha patches here and there but never really put some thought into checking them out. After the advent of being able to hear bands on Youtube and Myspace I finally checked them out. This is a discography of their work and I am still kicking my own ass for not getting into them sooner.

Born Dead Icons

Born Dead Icons - Work, Dead Alive Records 2000


















Sadly, I only got to see Born Dead Icons play once but what a show. I totally got hooked on them after picking up this album after they played. At the time I was use to in your face Hardcore and Grindcore; the only other Crust band that wasn't fast was Amebix. Personally I do not hear what is suppose to be the obvious Amebix/Motorhead sound. After putting this album on the turntable. I think that Born Dead Icons were put on the back burner during the early 2000's. Their sound is right up there with other bands of their time ala From Ashes Rise and Tragedy. Work,is proof that their sound was hell of a lot dark and dirtier then the heavy-weight West Coast bands at the time, it's always up to debate with me.

Sanctum / Stormcrow - Split (No Option Records) 2006



















I never really got into Sanctum that much until this split with Stormcrow came out. This is a totally epic split on all proportions altough I tend to listen to the Stormcrow side more often then the other. Sanctum delivers that extremely dark and moody Crust while Stormcrow slowly blackens the landscape with pestilence of disparity. I picked this up when Stormcrow played at Memory Lanes.

This is turning into a listening to blog.

Well, I am not all great at being a web master or lore master of my home state's bands. So instead I write about what I am listening to. No downloads available. I believe in buying hard copy music from the labels or the bands. IF you want to download it from somewhere else go right ahead at least go out and see them if they are still a band and support them or in other ways. I'm not going to get into a long winded debate. So here's what I am listening to.



Acephalix - Interminable Night LP (Agipunk / Southern Lord), 2011.


















The already rare demo's on vinyl. Death Metal or Crust, which ever it's a breath of fresh air after then all the Blackened/Epic material that's been floating around. Acephalix's sound is unique touch of darkness that gives a nod to the early Earache sound: Morgoth, Carnage, a light touch of Bolt Thrower with a dash of early Unleashed. Over all shorter solos with down-tuned crisp distortion with pulverizing thunder developing a intoxicating fury.

The first side their newest demo Flesh Torn In Twilight demo while the second side is the 2010 Interminable Night demo. Both were recorded by Jeff Leppard at Lennon Studios in San Fransisco. I can't tell if they were recorded at different sessions with my ears bleeding so damn much.


The collapse of civilization is here and Acephalix is the stinging concussion from the failed scheme.

-Despite stared out from the ruins of classic Wisconsin bands 10-96 and URBN DK in the year just before Y2K. Even though much of the people in the area did not understand their style of doom and gloom. After a brief hiatus, Despite, has decided to return to the stage. Shit...I need a new beer.
