Cirith Ungol

frost & fire, 1980 king of the dead, 1984 one foot in hell, 1986 paradise lost, 1991 (links fixed) Heavy metal is the law! Grim hard rock and heavy metal tagged as "cult" in the relevant circles. Grim and almost doom sometimes, this is more or less like "mob rules" era Sabbath with evil vocals that could almost fit in Burning Witch. "Frost and fire" does sound 70s hard rock and it gets slower & heavier on the following records. Excellent musicians and excellent production with for once a prominent bass guitar sound. And you got to love the artwork, which is precisely what drew my teenager self to them when "king" was released. Zombie kings with complicated swords is always a winner. An amazing segment in the history of metal ! CD rip. Cirith Ungol on MySpace

Kiss It Goodbye

She Loves Me....She Loves Me Not, 1997 Featuring former employees of Deadguy and Rorschach, Kiss It Goodbye deliver more heavy batches of evil and piledrives you with their metallic torture until you beg for Bad Religion. No, just kidding, you hit "play" again. Metalcorenstein wizardry! CD rip.

Deadguy

work ethic + whitemeat, 1994 (2002 CD reissue) fixation on a co-worker, 1995 screamin' with the deadguy quintet, 1996 I know your tragedy (live), 2000 Enormous metal and hardcore of assdozer density in the heavy wagon of nervous darkness and groove. Amazing playing and arrangements, lots of feeling (mostly anger, but also hunger and disdain) and great production : this is as serious as early Rollins Band, Mindwar and Die 116 with more metal, paving the way for the then emerging Converge scene. Awesome destruction ! CD rip. Extra merci au Suppôt pour les compléments vitaminiques! Zerrrr!!! Deadguy MySpace fan page

Terveet Kädet - Ihmisen poika, pedon poika

Terveet Kädet - Ihmisen poika, pedon poika, 2009 This is another trip into complete awesomeness territory. 30 years after their inception, TK deliver one of their very best recordings ever. The metal & more groovy rock sound of their 2000 decade albums is gone, this is a pure blast of classic Finnish thrashcore like the 'bizarre domination', 'halloween' and 'black god' records. It's even faster and meaner than the 1985 mega classic 'the horse'. This CD is unbelievably good!!! It teaches a lesson in thrash to all of us wannabees in 10 songs, 11 minutes, zer!!! It's way too short, I have to play it three times in a row. Long live the return of classic Finnish hardcore thrash!!! Rattus and TK über alles!!!! CD rip. More TK here. buy this AWESOME CD!!!!!

Toxik

world circus (+ Wasteland Demo + track from the Metal Massacre IX compilation + 2 unreleased songs), 1986/1987 think this (+ demo), 1989 IIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (with waves in the 'A's) True 80s high-pitch-vocals maximum speed metal!!!! This is just fantastic technical metal served with great lyrics and great artwork for once (and not so great haircuts and jackets but we're used to it, aren't we). The singer on "think this" reminds me of top vocal genius Steve Grimmett's unbelievable performance on Chateaux's "chained and desperate". The musicians are experts and these are 2 exemplary devices of first grade speed thrashing heavy metal of IIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! If you're in it for something in the vein of Whiplash' 'insult to injury' and early Agent Steel with more complexity, Toxik will rock your day!!! Fuck yeah!!! CD rip.

Just to make sure everything is exterminated, we'll also send along Germany's 2nd strongest asset in brain-melting technnology : Japanische Kampfhörspiele, the craziest purveyors of grinding thrash metal madness with the heaviest punk sections.

Hard To Swallow

Hard To Swallow killer compilation, 1995/1997 Fans of fat thrashcore awake! If the invocation of names like Septic Death, Rose Rose and Rorschach has the effect to inflate your favorite blood vessels, stop here and get a condensed fix right now with this bomb of a thrashcore compilation from an expert band in the field of skull crushing. But Hard To Swallow do not only try to deteriorate your hearing, they know how to craft memorable pieces of music and are just plain awesome. Fuck yeah!!! This immense CD contains the split 7" w/Underclass, split 7" w/Manfat, their tracks from To An End Comp. LP, Strictly Ballroom Comp 7", Wear Your Smell Comp. LP and the Demo '95.

Haywire

private hell, 1989 abominations, 1990 At one point the dudes in Half Off wanted to try something that was not 198 mph hardcore, and Haywire is their heavy/sludge/metal testcase. The first album is still very much mid-tempo hardcore, but darker in a Verbal Assault manner, and the second album is the full progression into fresh-out-of-the-swamp slow core in the fashion of the Scam on metal | late Verbal Assault | 1st decade of Melvins. Miam! CD rip & LP rip from private hell: 1. So Good 02:26 2. Sword Swallower 02:58 3. Winding 02:27 4. D.T.E. 02:23 5. Bring The Power Down 05:36 6. Private Hell 05:41 7. Pain 02:48 8.

Grind Madness at the BBC

disk 1 : Napalm Death + Extreme Noise Terror disk 2 : Carcass + Bolt Thrower disk 3 : Godflesh + Unseen Terror + Heresy + Intense Degree track 46 on disk 1 UPDATE The 80s were this dark place where porn was not free, but it was also the unbelievable beginning of grindcore, zer! I vividly remember this summer day of 1988 when I received a tape from a penpal recorded from the BBC with the 1st Napalm Death session... I pressed "play" and I would never recover. This was the most insanely brutal shit I had ever heard and at this time I had already been for years on a steady diet of S.O.B., Lärm, Cryptic Slaughter, Wehrmacht, Possessed, Sodom and everything that is the juice of life. LONG LIVE THE BRITISH GRINDCORE SCENE!!! Even if you already own most of these sessions in their original vinyls or CDs, this triple CD reissue is really worth getting because I think some of the best stuff here from Heresy, E.N.T. and Napalm Death has not been available so far. Plus it was all remastered and the tracks are split (no more bunches of 3 or 4 songs per track like on the original CD versions). And the price is nice, as the package and the long Mick Harris interview. And zer. If you need me to complain, let's say the 110% perfect release would have also included the sessions from Electro Hippies and Prophecy of Doom. Still an infinite supply of zer as it is!!! 1987/1990 overkill!!!!! DISK 1 1. Napalm Death - The Kill 2. Napalm Death - Prison Without Walls 3. Napalm Death - Dead 4. Napalm Death - Deceiver 5.

Recipients of Death - don't buy the CD!

s/t + final flight, 1988/1990 I was very happy to find the CD reissue of these 2 classic mini LPs of first grade thrash metal. But this is another case of lame vinyl-to-cd where they (Black Cobra Records) used a dirty needle on used records and didn't even listen to their rip before shipping it to the pressing plant! It is all distorted and fucked up. I never heard such a horrible rendering. Try my own vinyl rip and compare. Shitty CD rip (brand new CD for sale! only played twice!).

Eu's Arse

LP 1981-1985 Classic rawer-than-your-last-steak hardcore from Italy the way we all grew old and fat to love so much! This reissue contains both the 7" and some extra live noise. Vinyl rip. Eu's Arse on Wikipedia Eu's Arse on KFTH
