North American Bison

expect the worst, 1995 What an excellent CD of groovy and melodic crunchy hardcore of the Scream and DI sort. Maybe with some Verbal Assault or Bad Brains or both. This is how much it rocks! CD rip.

A.R.G.

entrance, 1989 one world without the end, 1991 From the depths of Finland, Ancient Rotten Graveguards! 'Entrance' is a merciless album that will bash your skull with the method of the thrash metal of early Sodom|Protector, zer! 'One world' adds the expected "maturity" layer, which means more complexity (maybe some Coroner input here) and speed control. Skip the albums intros full of orange cheese and thrash til death! Vinyl rip: Entrance: 1. Intro: The Ultimate Entrance 2. Pesticide 3. Something in the Dark 4. Perforation 5. Chemical Snot 6. Prevailing Sickness 7. Rip 8. Heathenism in Penitentiary 9. Window to Unknown 10. Foul Vigour 11. Inter Arma One world without the end: 1. Intro: Last Dawn of Humanity 2. Died for What 3. In the Depths of Sanity 4. Adoration of the Kings 5. Happy Times 6. Misfortune Along My Side (RIP II) 7. Back for Life 8. One World Without the End / Descent from Heaven 9. Straybullet A.R.G. on MySpace A.R.G. website (with videos!)

Hisataka

dirty dog 7" dirty dog CD (7" + 8 tracks, probably another 7" - ep sounds better...) Back to crazy Japanese thrashing hardcore of the distorted sort. This is so great my eyelids are solidifying. Fast, full of rage and more abrasive than anything else except Exclaim! Yeah, Exclaim addicts will infinitely enjoy Hisataka. I don't know if it came out in the 80s or what but it certainly respects all the non-metal|all-destruction japcore codes from the era. Gauze, early Rose Rose, Systematic Death, HISATAKA! FUCK YEAH! CD rip, vinyl rip, no titles (I don't speak Japanese).

Océan

god's clown, 1976 océan II, 1980 rock dur (live) - extended, 1980 océan III (+ 4 remasters), 1981 Legends of hard rock! The 1st album is an AMAZING piece of prog rock à la Rush | King Crimson to be used with several flammable plants for maximum zertisfaction. The following albums engage in first hand classic hard rock - catchier than AC/DC and Led Zeppelin combined with groovy instrumental developments that make Trust sound a bit agricultural. Océan opened for Iron Maiden and AC/DC too, and should have reached the same fame and fortune + 15%. Red hot music with mega talented vocals = THIS IS HARD ROCK!!! CD rip. Buy the 4 CDs box set!

Blind Fury

out of reach, 1985 The dudes from the almighty NWOBHM living gods Satan released their second album "Out of reach" under this other name, zer. Whatever the marketing strategy, the music is still an epic monument of greatness in heavy metal. These guys rule. Powerful, catchy with a technical prowess at every corner, Blind Satan make me hungry. More Blind Satan! CD rip.

Nailed Down

violent distortion (3" CD), 1995 destroy deceitful fellows (7"), 1996 atrocious damnation (green 10"), 1997 honour and glory (flexi 8"), 1997 perth wolfpack (LP), 2002 might is right (7"), 2003 resurrection (CD), 2003 When Lucifer in the sky with King Diamond devise wise plans to ruin musical harmony, they invent things like Rupture and Nailed Down, the Australian twin hags of thrashing punk disgust. Nailed Down navigate between Lärm-speed Siege-hardcore nihilism and dirty gurgling ground beef punk with the British flavour of Chaos UK. This is fast, loud and DDirty, with 2 Ds for a double dose of destruction. Extreme zer satisfaction!!! Achtung, too much listening to Nailed Down may make you blind. Vinyl rip + CD rip from Violent Distortion and Resurrection. violent distortion: Fool Dust To Dust Time Dead Contamination Blade Of Heart Futile Pain Self Who The Helpless (Kuro cover) Cheap Nothing Matters Sarin Attack Drown Negative Fx (Neg Fx cover) Fear Gunned Down I'm So Saviour Burled Alive Broken Glass Knuckle Sandwich Tunnel Vision Grieve Goodbyes Disinfect Anxiety Bound Disaster (Confuse cover) Outro... destroy deceitful fellows: A1 Kaaos Attack A2 X 9 A3 Conform A4 Systemas Bastardos A5 Rock Star B6 Leak Of Deadly Bacteria B7 White Lightning Storm B8 Divine Wind B9 Bloody Bomber Boy B10 Warmachine (Anti Cimex cover) atrocious damnation: A1 1000 Hiroshima Body A2 Last Hiroshima A3 Darkness A4 Conform A5 Divine Wind A6 Perth SS A7 Tutti Rabia A8 Violent Poisoning A9 White Lightning Storm A10 Boring Life A11 Systemas Bastardos A12 America Bombs Perth A13 Mob Attack B1 Leak Of Deadly Bacteria B2 Riot Riot B3 Swimming In Ice B4 Violent Distort B5 Bloody Bomber Boy B6 Rockstar B7 Daisy Chain B8 Gossip Monger B9 Kaaos Attak B10 X-9 B11 Selfish Cow B12 Die For Your Fatherland B13 Countdown To Meltdown honour and glory: A1 Learn The Hard Way A2 Fool A3 Kiss Arse A4 Broken Glass A5 Snake Handlers A6 Retard A7 Pain A8 Everyday B1 Pressure Valve (Live) B2 Pain (Live) perth wolfpack: A1 Payback Time A2 Smack In The Head A3 The Glory Of Nailed Down A4 Anti PC (Is Just Another Trend) A5 Knucklesandwich A6 Monster Of Distortion A7 Born To Win A8 Someones Going To Die A9 Might Makes Right A10 Inside B11 Fierce Demon Fire B12 Nailed Down Night Rider B13 Monster Zero B14 Life Under The Bomb B15 Fear (P2) B16 Ghost B17 Governments That Deal In Death B18 Scene Cleansing might is right: A1 Might Is Right A2 Shinning Down B1 Police State B2 Nailed Down Sympathiser resurrection: honour capital N, capital D time to fight roulette fool blindspot nailed down stormtrooper slowing down skinhead nuclear fear (Negative Fx cover) negative circle all problems solved you tell me try to judge what do i get whats going on Buy Resurrection! Buy Perth Wolfpack!

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.
