 | The Six and Violence - lettuce prey, USA 1990 Weird, almost prog yet hectic hardcore with the crazy drummer from Ludichrist (featuring a Jethro Tull guy too!). Fast & funny, intense & zer! Think early Adrenalin OD | Ludichrist without bass drum! Try it. If you like this, go to their website and buy the discography double cd. rip from original CD Six & Violence website Six & Violence on Wikipedia |
 | Thrash Til Death, Japan 1987 I'm not really fond of compilations except when it has so much class. Four of the most cult japcore bands of the golden era team up on this 12" for the most exquisite pleasure of the thrash listener. Zer! More Japanese monsters to come (S.O.B., Rose Rose, Bastard etc.). Vinyl rip. You can also download it from this very excellent blog full of good old noise. titles |
S.O.D. - live at ultra , Sweden 1984 Like all monsters from Sweden, the almighty Sound Of Disaster had the good habit to brutally rip your ears and eat your head with their harsh and fast hardcore in their complete worship of Mob47 and Discharge, total zer. This live bootleg is verrrrrry noisy in true 80s torture sound fashion, yet ultimately enjoyable. I will upload the three 7" soon. Vinyl rip. Has there ever been any CD reissue ? If so, please leave a comment, I need one. S.O.D. on MySpace S.O.D. on SwedishPunk.com  |
  | about time, UK 1991 four gone confusion, UK 1992 This is the sort of perfect band you still wonder 20 years later WHY DID THEY NOT BECOME BIGGER THAN ANYBODY ELSE ????? These records are as hot as the perfect mix of Victims Family, Living Colour and Red Hot Chili Peppers, but to me, the Beyond and Scat Opera just dominated from far far above - and still do - the entire "funk"rockmetal scene. No Red Hot album can compete. No one can compete. This is total über zerRrRRRRRrrRRrrrrR!R!!R!!RR Rr r r r R R R R R !! !R!R RrR !R !R!R !R!R RR !R! !R!RR! !!R! R RR!

   | Eisenvater I, Germany 1992 Eisenvater II, Germany 1994 Eisenvater III, Germany 1995 This band resides forever in my lifelong top 3 or maybe even in the top 1, zer. They are the ultimate kings of massive doom/death with an industrial vibe, yet they are so much more than this dry description (and without synths/machines - they're Germans). In short, picture a mix of the Melvins, Prophecy of Doom and Carnivore/early Type O Negative, and even some good old Sepultura 'roots', but only the very best, very heaviest and very deadliest of these bands. Eisenvater's music reeks of mechanical feeling, speed, heaviness, I don't know, it is just the perfect recipe for my neuron. They use simple stuctures and riffs, haunting melodies and deadly grooves, it is dark, cold and greasy with a lot of humour, so much so I would use the term 'genius' if I dared to. Sleazy music with all qualities. Zer. Fleisch. Never tired of Eisenvater! Listen where the excellentissimest Totenmond took the bulk of their inspiration. MEGAZERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! The good news: they're preparing a 4th album, preview on their website. Eisenvater official website |
  | another wasted night + sold out 7", USA 1984/1986 can't LIVE without it, USA 1990 Boston's kings of rocking hardcore punk's best recordings (at least for me!). The live album is exceptional (features DRI's ex bass player). First grade punk rock/metal by the legends, ZZZZEEERRRR!!!! Live + wasted : CD rip Sold Out: 7" rip Lend me your sister and I'll rip the "This is Boston, not L.A.!" compilation too. Gang Green on Wikipedia (links to albums tracks lists etc.)  |
Bad Brains - live at the marquee 1991 Good sounding live recording of the masters with a unique line-up in their history, works extremely well. ZER! Vinyl rip.   Bad Brains - live 1989 Quickness tour 18 live tracks, mostly very lo-fi, but a couple of seriously hot ones too (especially 'at the movies', worth alone the whole download). Zer. Tape rip. Bad Brains - live 1995 Decent sounding live sets, really cool. Includes songs from the 'God of Love' album. Much better than the ridiculous show in October 2007 in London! Zer. Tape rip. NOTE: 1995 archive fixed! Sorry about the mess. Bad Brains - live on TV, 1989 UPDATE Excellent live recordings from the Quickness tour. Amazing !!! VHS rip. |
  | if you can't take the heat, USA 1989 fistful of chicken, USA 1990 live, USA 1990 The SF area super group reincarnation of the Boneless Ones, featuring members of Verbal Abuse/Attitude Adjustment/Machine Head/Fang/Septic Death. Their 3 records are shining gems in the crossover punk/metal/hard rock department - Motörhead x Poison Idea x early Metallica x late Verbal Abuse x Suicidal Tendencies = ZZZEEERRRRR!!!! You want this. Fistful of chicken: CD rip Live + If you can't take the heat: vinyl rip   Titles Fistful of Chicken |
 | Spermbirds - common thread + something to prove, Germany 1986/1989 Brilliant catchy hardcore on 'something to prove' and a bit darker, more metallic and slower on 'common thread'. Great musicianship and excellent vocals rank them among Bad Brains, DI, Adolescents, Minor Threat, SNFU, Verbal Assault etc. These guys deserve an Oscar. 'Common thread' is a huge album and my favourite Spermbirds. Vinyl rip. More splendid Spermbirds TBU, and also 2BAD. Spermbirds official website  |
 | Prophecy Of Doom - acknowledge the confusion master + peel session + 7", UK 1990 At the bottom of the tar pits sit Prophecy Of Doom. Their saturated, ultra compact grinding death doom drown everything else in a final wet slur not unlike Atavistic in a graveyard. Evil. ZER!!! Acknowledge the confusion master : CD rip Peel session + 7" : vinyl rip Next: Matrix Prophecy of Doom on MySpace  |
Cold World - so far, so fast + none of your business, Austria 1992/1993 ZER. Founded by ex members of Extrem, Cold World is the wettest dream of the thrashcore fanatic. This is so fucking fast, tight and pounding, it has all the best of Heresy, Septic Death (cd contains cover of both band, only faster!), Lärm, Lethal Aggression, Siege... all of them. FINAL ZER!!! CD rips (so far, so fast contains 'bring your own baseball bat' 'you're an asshole', comp tracks and another 7") Cold World on MySpace Cold World on YouTube  |
