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

Gehennah

hardrocker, 1995 king of the sidewalk, 1996 decibel rebel, 1997 Global warming Venomotörhead mega worship!!! Also for the old fans of classic Bulldozer|Backwater or the new league into Malignant Tumour|Pistons and all the sonic grease that makes life a happy moment (within the ocean of death). Fast, loud and dirty thrashing killer hard rock! Sex, drugs and Gehennah!!! CD rip.

Gehenna

black seared heart (demo), 1993 first spell, 1994 seeing through the veil of darkness (second spell), 1995 malice (third spell), 1996 adimiron black, 1998 murder, 2000 ww, 2005 I think the balance between straight-edge hardcore and its moral contrary black metal is a bit in favor of the SxEx on this blog, so here is a fat dose of evil black metal! Corpse paints, pentagrams and a full-throttling Bathory revisitation! This is first class stuff at the level of Satyricon. Despite the exagerated keyboards, "malice" is my favorite for the doctorate it earns in the science of infinite groove (ad arma ad arma!!!), or maybe the very violent "ww", I have to run another comp test. "murder" and "adimiron" reek of dry death, death and more death (no keyboard!), the first 2 spells are classic 90s blackness, while "ww" returns to straightforward non-stop blacker bathoriesque sledgehammering blast beat mania: this record has quasi hypnotic qualities, fuck yeah. Forests, castles, orgies, satan! CD rip. Gehenna website Gehenna on MySpace Buy Gehenna CDs!

Crunch

dee.p., 1994 trigger happy trespasser, 1995 While we're enjoying Italian bands named Crunch, let's try this one.

Infezione

chiediti il perché, 1989 religione oppio dei popoli, 1991 The first album delivers your typical, excellent Italian hardcore fest in the vein of Wretched|Impact, while the second is more melodic and full of rock, maybe a bit like Kina. Great stuff, but not matching the super classics like Negazione, Declino, CCM etc. Vinyl rip: chiediti il perché: A1 Per L'Anarchia A2 Chiediti Il Perché A3 Possiamo Vivere Di PIú A4 Istituzione "Macho" A5 No Al Quietismo Reazionario A6 Dimensione Progresso Dimensione Regresso A7 Condannati A Morte A8 Vivisezione A9 Morte Umana, Morte Animale A10 Media Show B1 Tutti I Divi B2 Mai PIú Un Dio B3 Invasione Bianca B4 Costrizione Educativa B5 Grandi Corporazioni B6 Solo Se Accetterai B7 Manca L'Onestá Manca L'Anarchia B8 Terrorismo Legalizzato religione oppio dei popoli: A1 Lotta A2 Nulla E' Cambiato A3 Non C'E' Posto Per Voi A4 5° Non Uccidere A5 In Nome Di Dio A6 12 Ottobre B1 Religione Oppio Dei Popoli B2 Dio E Stato B3 Etica Di Oppressione B4 Amore Libero B5 Ecologia Mentale B6 Siamo Atei Oui c'est bien le 2e LP que Roger a utilisé sans remords pour faire la couverture du numéro dix en mille neuf cent quatre-vingt treize: Le split zine avec les Faux Fils de Thrash Bourrent!

Ripping Corpse | Dim Mak

Ripping Corpse - splattered remains (demo), 1989 Ripping Corpse - dreaming with the dead, 1991 Dim Mak - knives of ice, 2006 Fuck yeah! On saturday, in a used CDs bin doomed to be trashed, I found a cheap green CD released by Willowtip, with an ugly front cover that reminded me the ugliness of Morbid Angel's "Domination" artwork. So I just bought the disc, I enjoy blind-buying a lot, especially when I hope on some Morbid Angel stuff. Going home, playing the CD, spending the rest of the day drooling. This shit is the most insane stuff I've heard in years!!! Well at least since the latest Brutal Truth album... Lightning fast crazy death metal!!! Extra big ass thrashing death complete destruction!!!! And with a high level of variations and the immense talent of making it all memorable and singable in the shower, incredible! You can hear they're first here to make great songs, not just to win the olympics of metal (although they do anyway!). Then the voice and riffs reminded me of something; I did the research and bam, these guys are ex Ripping Corpse. No wonder why Dim Mak is so great! I now have to check out the other two Dim Mak discs. I'm taking this opportunity of joyful metallic happiness to re-upload some Ripping Corpse. In 91 I discovered 2 corpses in a single week. I quickly dismissed the Cannibal as boring and flat, but to this day I am still hooked on the Ripping!! Legendary thrashing death with a unique sound of total zer! CD rip except vinyl rip of the demo: 1. Rift Of Hate 02:59 2. Exhumation Day 02:44 3. Anti God 03:08 4. Deeper Demons 01:58 5. Sado-Masochists From The Grave 03:15 6. Stone Garden 02:55 Ripping Corpse on MySpace Dim Mak on MySpace If you're not a poser, buy the Ripping Corpse CD!!! Buy Dim Mak CDs too!!! KNIVES OF ICE!!!!!

Skeletal Earth

eulogy for a dying fetus, 1991 deevolushun, 1994 Here are 2 zerxcellent albums of groovy death|thrash metal with a (80s) hardcore touch for fans of F.U.C.T. and Energetic Krusher and all that is heavily greasy. Short songs, high energy, a "you really got me" cover, zer. CD rip.

Karoline

Karoline, 1980 Zer! Du super AC/DC de luxe! L'énergie est intacte après le voyage dans le temps, ça décoince sous toutes les coutures et les solos déchirent ta mère et le chanteur tue sa race et on n'oublie pas le bassiste et le batteur qui bourrasquent tout ça zer. Pur hard rock des transpirations primordiales avec les textes du même métal ancestral. Putain que c'est bon comme Océan, j'ai bien fait de fouiller dans les vieux disques hier. Extraction de vinyle rouge qui craque: 1. couche-toi sur mes rêves 2. sniff l'odeur des camions 3. compartiment nana 4. sexy baby 5. biftons (si t'as pas d'fric j'ai pas d'trique) 6. gueule de bois (je frime) 7. accroche-toi 8. rockaroline 9. rock'n'roll star

Chain of Strength

the one thing that still holds true (both 7" + 1 comp track), 1989/1991 Among the handful of survivors of the straight-edge records in my record collection (you need to purge now and then!), here are, upon request, the young and healthy Chain Of Strength. Pretty solid, fast thrashing hardcore that I enjoy much more than the NYHC division! Very good indeed and passes the test of time very well. CD rip. Chain Of Strength on MySpace Buy this record!

The Grim

getting revenge in 'merica, 1984 face of betrayal, 1988 2010! Zer! A heavy new year and a happy zer year to everyone and everything! Zer. As starters for 2010, let's indulge into the mega great records of The Grim (no I don't have the 7", anyone ?). The first 12" (13 minutes long...) is one of these 80s US HC pearls - nardcore branch in excellent snot fashion. Then "face of betrayal" turns metal and sits on your face with plenty of superb groove and awesome guitar solos. There is a touch of the Melvins and Excel in this amazing load of heavy metal. Vinyl rip: getting revenge in 'merica: 1. Walls of Hope 2. Sunday School 3. Old Enough 4. Old Towne Mall 5. No Respect 6. Saipan Death March 7. Parents 8. Suicide face of betrayal: 1.
