Soulwinter 7", 1999 Customized Circle (10 tracks CD version), 1999 Boutoku No Taiyo (LP), 2000 Boutoku No Taiyo (CD), 2000 Split with Corrupted & Discordance Axis, 2001 (RELOADED) Across The Black Wings, 2003 Rebelgrind, 2006 Split with Venomous Concept, 2006 The process of incineration of your flesh and bones has begun. 324 will grind you to zer and we will sniff your ashes: here is another ultimate prototype of grindcore zer! It's not only so very fast that general relativity applies, it is also of the non-stop intensity and cruelty that erupts only from hours-long dental surgeries. Brick-shitting hypra-terrorizing climax-inducing conflagration of flesh burning zerRRRr! Forever in my grindcore top 3! And I mean old school type grindcore, not short death metal songs... Don't miss the 3 way split with Corrupted and DA: 324 seals it with a Crumbusckers "Just Sit There" cover, the zer factor just went through the roof of the Eiffel tower.

Sludge

Sweet Daisy, 1996 The Well, 1997 Scarecrow Messiah, 2000 Yellow Acid Rain, 2004 Lava, 2008 WYSIWYG! From the nuclear shelters of Switzerland emerge this beastly collection of slow death and doom, as in a mix of the creepiest segments of Carcass lubricated by the early Anathema or more recent My Dying Bride devices - and a lot of Sabbath on the first 2 records. With its twelve tons of vicious and complex high definition metallic groove of doom, and if you enjoyed Celtic Frost's "Monotheist", Sludge is your thing. It's definitely my thing! Sludge til ZerrRrrRrrRR!!! CD rip. Sludge website Sludge on MySpace

Axis Of Advance

Landline (MLP), 1999 Landline (MCD), 1999 Strike, 2001 The List, 2002 Obey, 2004 Purify, 2006 After 2 groundbreaking albums of astonishing levels of evil, Sacramentary Abolishment changed their name to Axis Of Advance and went on with their mission of purveying the most fitting soundtrack to the irreversible rotting of this world of imbeciles. Axis Of Advance is several nuclear wars and black plagues rolled into the 11-dimensional bulldozing tank of their discography. This is uncompromising war metal at its freakest, it's really fast and full of hate. Is there any black metal with so much evil, death and doom? Let's not forget the complexity of the compositions and the tightness of execution - and most importantly how memorable the songs are and not just a blur of white noise. All in all, only the likes of Brutal Truth|Die You Bastard! impressed me as much. Forget Blasphemy and all the Maybelline crews, Canada's first war machine is Axis Of Advance. My favorite: although all albums are simply killer, I have a soft spot for Purify, an impressive distorted surgical massacre at the speed of darkness. Tired of universal stupidity but Rupture is not enough to erase your mind? Fuck yeah, listen to Axis Of Advance and attain the terminal level of complete bliss! LOUDER! SMILE AND DIE! And shoot a politician or two. CD rip. Purify (not tagged): 1. Foundation: Artifice Descends 06:24 2. Deceivers Purged 03:54 3. Edifice: The Power of Three 05:43 4. Tactics Forth 02:41 5.

Kuro

Who The Helpless + 10 tracks, 1984 (1997 bootleg)
Revival Of Death (MCD), 1996
The cemetary of Japanese hardcore is full of tasteful carcasses that age as greatly as an enormous semi liquid camembert. The maggots make it rich in proteins and give it its crunchy texture. Kuro has this power of ancient cheese, its crisp aggressive sound making your teeth grind and your stomach inflate. Kuro have impressed me as much as GISM in the art of ugly distorted death punk thrash at maximum zer level. Again: MAXIMUM CLASSIC!

Revival of death: CD rip
Black Empire
No More No
Hell Dive
No More No (live)

Who The Helpless + 9 or 10 tracks: LP rip

NB: I normalized sound levels track by track / left / right. Lazy bootleggers...

Soulcraft - Absolute Suspicion

Soulcraft - Absolute Suspicion, 2003 Sorry about Slang, but here is some excellent Japanese hardcore from the 21st century that exactly does what we want, i.e. what Gauze and Systematic Death taught us to crave. Nothing new but everything extra intense hardcore zer! LP rip: 1. Get up my soul 2. The unforgiven 3. Thought control 4. Left my thought 5. Fight to win 6. The fuck! 7. Last light died out 8. Eyes 9. Worry out 10. Unheard 11. Complicate 12. Absolute suspicion Take Japanese lessons and try the Soulcraft website!

Lama

Lama - s/t, 1982 (reissue 1994) Everbody says Lama were the first Finnish punk band, so I guess I'll relay the information and call them CLASSIC! Excellent raw punk with that Rattus sound that we crave. Oh yeah let's hear some evil Rattus now. CD rip More LAMA (the 7" collection) from this amazing blog!

Deathrow

Satan's Gift (Riders Of Doom + The Lord Of Death demo), 1986 Raging Steel (+ Eternal Death demo), 1987 Deception Ignored, 1988 (FIXED) Life Beyond, 1992 More mega zer 80s German thrash metal! Just underneath the spotlight that was all set on Destruction|Kreator|Sodom|Tankard, the 80s thrasher could find his next fix with even more incredible bands like Protector, Assassin, Living Death and zer, Deathrow. The 4 albums here range from excellent to totally amazing. The first two are a super powered mix of Kreator and Destruction, yet my favorite are the last 2 and especially "Life Beyond" - a total monster of fantastic technical thrash that no Sadus and Assassin fan will miss. Metal thrashing zerrrR!RrR!! CD rip Riders Of Doom: 1. Winds of Death 01:24 2. Satan's Gift 04:13 3. Riders of Doom 05:12 4. Hell's Ascent 05:57 5. Spider Attack 05:58 6. Slaughtered 04:07 7.

Cyclone

Brutal Destruction, 1985 Inferior To None, 1990 Welcome to Belgium's finest speed and thrash metal band (ex-aequo with X Creta!). 'Brutal Destruction' is a heavy pizza of early Exodus | Whiplash | Metallica and it feels great to abuse it. This is speed metal 1985 zer! But nostalgia aside, I do prefer 'Inferior To None'. The songs, the playing, the artwork and the production are better, the thrash metal on this album is meaner, with an added touch of Prong. Bang that head! CD rip. Cyclone on MySpace

Reload: GISM, Golers, Satan, Sacrilege, Carrion

A quick reload of some essential zerism: unedited rip (G.I.S.M.), newer reissue (Sacrilege, Satan) and CD rip of previously posted LP rip (Golers, Carrion): G.I.S.M. Detestation (rip of the Beast Art CD), 1984 Golers South Mountain Style (CD) 2nd generation (CD) Satan Court In The Act (+ 3 single/demo tracks), 1983 Sacrilege Within The Prophecy (+ 3 live tracks + 3 demo tracks - 2009 reissue), 1987 Carrion Evil Is There! (+ Evil Is There! demo 1985 + 2 live tracks 1986 - 2005 CD reissue), 1986

Chaosfear

One Step Behind Anger, 2007 Image Of Disorder, 2008 Total thrash metal obliteration! This deadly trio from Brasil ressucitates early Sepultura tactical moves (with a delicate touch of Morbid Angel) to propel their own brand of metal aggression to the highest levels. This is not just another number in the vast cohort of neo thrash bands: Chaosfear are one of the very best of their generation (according to none other than myself, and I agree). The first album is a frontal thrash attack with first grade riffs, excellent song writing and arrangements; then the second album is a complete metal masterpiece, a terminal classic of the Y2K decade! It is insanely heavy, aggressive and memorable - and delivers more groove than anybody else, augmented by excellent melodic lines and almost prog metal structures. They're not just rehashing, they bang your head and the whole meat harder than most in the happy thrash metal revival. Not since Golers and Watchmaker have I had such strong and lasting erections thanks to a new thrash metal band. THRASH 'TIL DECHE!!! Yes I am excited. CD rip. Chaosfear website Chaosfear on MySpace

Attitude Adjustment

AA - American Paranoia & More (Dead Serious demo / Bitzcore CD), 1985/1986 AA - Out Of Hand + No More Mr Nice Guy (Bitzcore CD), 1988/1991 AA - True To The Trade 7", 1995 (complete...) Attitude - The good, the bad and the obnoxious + Kein Schlaff bis Deutschland (mini LPs), 1987 Attitude - Tracks from Rat Music (includes Factory Man 7"), 1988/1990 Attitude - The Good, The Bad, The Obnoxious + Kein Schlaff Bis Deutschland + To Whom It May Concern (We Bite CD), 1987/1990 Nobody told me the previous Attitude Adjustment post was total crap, many 'Dead Serious' and 'American Paranoia' songs missing. Sacrilege! I apologize and here are AA again, and also the Attitude discs, tant qu'à faire. "Out Of Hand" still stands today as one of the most fierce crossover records - pissed, fast, heavy with two tons of groove, ZER! Of course 'American Paranoia' is the classic of classics, amen. I also enjoy very much the excellent mini LPs from the spin-off Attitude (= singer from "American Paranoia" with another line up, including drummer Eric Brecht from DRI/Hirax). Attitude traded the manic speed to the rest of AA for more hard rock and heavy metal and zer the excellent Exodus|Excel crossover. Killer from start to finish!!! CD rip except Rat Music (tagged - merci Stéphane!) True To The Trade: 1. Pay the Price 01:04 2. My Problem Is... 00:44 3. Born To Lose 01:01 4. No Explanations 01:25 5. I Can't Forgive 01:30 6.
