Acrophet

corrupt minds, 1988 faded glory (CD), 1990 faded glory (LP) large plastic nostalgia! So much class! For those who wish Sacred Reich had put out more albums in the vein of "Ignorance" and "Surf Nicaragua", extended usage of the Acrophet medicine will fulfill this very understandable craving. These 2 exemplary albums deliver the late 80s speed and intensity of hardcore influences along with excellent anti-linear technical prowess and refinements - these twin guitars!! - in all its essential thrash metal glory. Amazing! Bang your head! Thrash til zer! And they say they were 17 when they released the first one... CD and LP rip. Acrophet on MySpace

Sacred Reich

ignorance (LP rip), 1987 ignorance (CD rip + 3 bonus MDC, Judas Priest - WITH ROB HALFORD SINGING!! zer - & Black Sabbath covers), 1987 surf nicaragua (+ demo & Metal Massacre tracks), 1989 alive at the dynamo, 1989 the american way (extended + 6 demo tracks), 1990 independent, 1993 heal, 1996 still ignorant (live), 1997 The 80s thrasher wet dream! After the 1986 blunt force traumas due to Slayer, Sacrilege BC, Onslaught and Dark Angel, 1987 offered us the MONSTER "ignorance" mega thrasher. Fast straight-forward metal full of hardcore influences, this stuff is hotter than hell even in 2010. The "surf Nicaragua" mini is also a big plate of rejoicing with the incredible "One nation" bomb of groove. The other albums have more groovy heavy metal like this than fast thrash and are also excellent, these guys are outstanding musicians. Of course "Ignorance" remains on a higher pedestal among the "darkness descends" and "the force" of this world. Thrash til death! CD rip. "Alive at the dynamo" is a 128 kbps rip I took on another blog (I have a DVD of the complete show but was too lazy to rip the audio, so here you go with the 4 original track in low res).

Damage

sins of our fathers, 1984 recorded live off the board at CBGB, 1987 DEMOS! From the encyclopedic Blogged And Quartered blog Update From the pantheon of classics, here are both Damage records, the cream of 80s hardcore. When you're a fan of BGK, MDC, Fear and RKL, you can't live without the Damage albums. This stuff is still totally hot today - the definition of classic, fast, tight and complete with wild arrangements and great solos (especially on the 2nd album, zer!). These recordings are both live off the board at CBGB, pure live talent! And then Mike Kirkland (bass) joined the newborn Prong. Vinyl rip: Sins of our fathers: A1 Sins Of Our Fathers A2 This House A3 Beauty Lies A4 The Dice A5 Parasite A6 Charge It A7 March Of The Morons A8 Floodlight A9 Yah Die Ho B1 Our Song / Bad Thoughts B2 Killing Floor B3 Macht Uns Slecht / Bridge + Tunnel B4 Below Average / Boots Of God B5 Inertia B6 Die In Fire Recorded live off the board at CBGB A1 Blues Theme / Die In Fire A2 Boots Of God A3 Festering A4 Floodlight A5 Yah Die Ho A6 Beauty Lies A7 Slug-O A8 Bridge & Tunnel B1 Killing Floor B2 Beer Can B3 This House B4 V.C.P.I.M. / Majority Tyranny B5 Our Song B6 Parasite B7 Count Me Out One more song on the amazing There's A Method To Our madness compilation. I must have been a bit energetic on the track splitting, there are more mp3s than song entries... Damage on MySpace

Corrupted files

Not a post about Corrupted unfortunately (yet!). I ran a batch of tests and the problem with corrupted files is on Mediafire (not Winrar or my use of it). The same rar ends up corrupted after download from Mediafire although it is clean on my computer or downloaded from elsewhere. I'll check if I can find another free file hosting service without the irritating daily limits, file size limits etc. Meanwhile, thanks for reporting the corrupted files, I'll upoload them individually (the best solution, see below).

This is what Mediafire support have to say:
With any compressed file, the chances of them becoming corrupt when uploading them to another server can increase as they become larger. I know some of our clients have had better experience when either keeping them at 95MB or less or saving the compressed file as a .exe file prior to uploading. Because there is also the issue of corruption occurring when files are being transferred from one network to another network (yours to ours), this has been a difficult issue to troubleshoot and find a permanent fix for. We are currently working on a resolution for this. In the meantime, please try the above steps to see if they help resolve the issue for you. If they do not work this could indicate that the corruption is occurring during the transfer between networks, and you may need to attempt to re-upload the files after deleting them and waiting 4 hours to ensure that they are completely removed from our servers.

Acid

acid + hooked on metal 7" + demo, 1981/1982 maniac + black car 12", 1983 FIXED 16.09.2011 acid + maniac (VINYL RIP for true nostalgia) engine beast + demo, 1985 FIXED live in Belgium 84, 1984/2009 Corrupted & missing files UPDATE Gosplontchagnaaa! Allow me another repost (next post won't be a re!), the 3rd attempt at posting some Acid, but I think this time I have it better covered: all studio albums from CD versions (finallY!) with the bonus eps & demos, and more importantly THE NEW LIVE ALBUM!!! Look at this marvel : a picture disc in a gatefold cover with a poster. This is an object you do want to own - it is something you need actually. The sound is a bit thin but not saturated and there are clearly no overdubs. True Acid fans buy a copy of this most excellent release and smile all day! Hurry, there are only 500 copies. Speed metal hell! CD rip except vinyl rip from live in Belgium: 1. Acid 2. Maniac 3. Hooked on Metal 4. Bottoms Up 5. Lucifera 6. No Time 7. Exterminator 8. Anvill 9. Max Overload 10.

Korpse

mirror distance, 1991/1995 (rel. 2005) x 7", 1993 pull the flood, 1994 revirgin, 1996 Allow me to repost the Korpse records because 1) I just found the 'Mirror Distance' CD, which is very fucking zer 2) this is outstanding music. 'Mirror Distance' is a compilation of EXCELLENT TO AWESOME demos and their enormous 7". I remember a 'Revirgin' review saying 'death metal with balls, groove and class', and yessssss, that's exactly what it is. Hairy balls with Grand Master Class. And the perfect groove! Autopsy and early Voïvod fans cannot miss any of it! According to the last estimates, I listen to Korpse 12.87 times more often than to Entombed. CD rip except 'X' 7" (which is on 'Mirror Distance'): 1. X 06:20 2. Rusted 04:02 Mirror Distance contains: Mauler demo: tracks 1-6. 'X' 7": tracks 7, 8. Revirgin demo 1: tracks 9-13. Revirgin demo 2: tracks 14-17. Studio out-take: track 18. Korpse on MySpace

Euthanasia

Rymykorpi - The Complete Recordings CD1, 1986/1987 Rymykorpi - The Complete Recordings CD2, 1988/1989 As the CD title says, enjoy all Euhtanasia recordings at once : classic hardcore punk in true Finnish tradition for early Rattus | TK addicts. A bit linear but overall great drive and energy. CD rip. Buy this double CD!!

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!!!!!
