THE SEVENTHATE - "the cooper
test" (SWELL CREAK) - 4e,
250 den.
What happens when you put five skilled madman musicians together and
tell them to come up with some hard hitting music from ingredients
such as Converge, JR Ewing and maybe a bit of Dillinger Escape Plan?
The inevitable end result would be The Seventhate, one of the two
best kept secrets in Barcelona. |

THE SETUP/ SCHEMATIC OF A WAKING LIFE - split
(ELECTRIC HUMAN PROJECT) - 4e, 250 den.
"Richmond, Virginia's The Setup blast through thirteen minutes
of their hardest offerings to date. Combining elements of hardcore,
punk rock, and straight up metal, these southern boys detonate chunky
guitar riffs that would make any early Metallica fan go nuts with
collapsing vocals. The results? An overly aggressive and sadistic
composition for fans of everything from Converge to Tragedy. Features
Chris Kirby from Light The Fuse And Run on guitar. Schematic Of A
Waking Life lay down four tracks of post hardcore perfection. Songs
suggestive of a DC sound from the 1990's brewed with the updated offerings
of Hot Cross and Off Minor. These New Englanders manage to be melodic
and catchy without loosing their frantic edge. Desperate and controlled.
Passionate and angry. " |

TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION - "compact
disc version 1" (BONES BRIGADE) - 5e,
300 den.
Following the demise of Brutal Truth, drummer/vocalist Richard Hoak
felt a need to take grindcore music to its next and final logical
extreme. Nauseatingly hyper blast-beats are entangled with twisted
musical contortions inspired by a fast and pissed attitude that has
been sorely missing from the sterile and stagnant state of so-called
extreme music. With destruction running through their veins and grind
on the mind! |
 |
TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION - "zen and
the art of..." (BONES BRIGADE) - 5e,
300 den.
Former Brutal Truth drummer/weirdo mastermind Richard Hoak is as high-minded
and arty as he is really, really pissed. Crisp, tight blasts, lyrics
like you eat shit like a fucking hog and pot. Would you expect anything
less? Four acoustic jammy jams round out the 14-song album. Also,
the enhanced disc includes video of nine songs from the Live From
Hazel’s performance. |
 |
TOTIMOSHI - "ladron" (CRUCIAL
BLAST) - 6e, 360 den.
"This album boasts clever lyrics sung with fierce deviance
amid clanging guitars that wallow in thick distortion. The drumming
isn’t just kindling either, indeed it builds and builds up the
tempo and carrying each and every song — something that took
a while for Totimoshi to develop after working through six different
drummers only to settle on Luke Herbst behind the skins. Bassist Meg
Castellanos doesn’t just provide the good looks, her chops are
golden as she reaches back for some garage punk chords that even the
Melvins didn’t know existed. Hazy sludgy stoner rock that shows
the ‘90’s grunge movement what it missed out on."
|
 |
TOTIMOSHI "mysterioso"
(CRUCIAL BLAST) - 6e, 360 den.
¿Mysterioso? , the second full length from Oakland, CA-based
trio TOTIMOSHI, intersects earthquake-heavy rock and wicked sludge
riffage with the wiry hooks and dynamics of 80's post-punk / new wave,
Spanish melodies, and an adventurous, occasionally improvisational
fuzz attack. It's like someone gave an old Beggars Banquet band a
cocktail of steroids, huge amps, and battered copies of Melvins' Stoner
Witch and Mainliner's Mellow Out. Heavy, crunchy, catchy,hypnotic
- ¿Mysterioso? winds, grinds, and explodes every step of the
way. This re-issued, re-tooled version features enhanced CD-ROM extras,
including video , photos, and more. |
 |
TRENCHER/ LOA LOA - split (OSK)
- 5e, 300 den.
Trencher from London, England and Loa Loa from Moscow, Russia. Guys
from Trencher define themselves as “casio- grind”. Chaos
mix of guitars, keyboards, drums and screams. Loa Loa have expanded
the borders of their insanity and besides their traditional weird
songs made a matching spoken-word tracks and a soulful acoustic ballad. |
 |
TROCKI - "bez konca" (MALARIE)
- 4e, 250 den.
Brutal, raw sounding, dirty crust grind from Poland. |
 |
ULCERRHOEA - "rise for the downfall"
(DIY CONSPIRACY) - 5e, 300 den.
discography (minus the album), amazing underground grindcore |
 |
UNDER PRESSURE - "come clean"
(YELLOW DOG) - 5e, 300 den.
Well-played, smart hardcore punk that should satisfy purists who like
BLACK FLAG and POISON IDEA but also folks who like a wrench thrown
in the formula here and there. I was surprised to hear that, musically,
a few of the songs on Come Clean were in the vein of “Rejects”
EP-era SWIZ from the late 1980s (the song “Suspension”).
Probably not consciously. Also, there’s some BLACK SABBATH action
going on in songs like “I Explode,” which has an opening
right out of Sabbath’s Master of Reality LP; in fact, this song
has a very Tony-Iommi-meets-Greg-Ginn quality to it. |
 |
UNDERAGE - "entro domani 1981-1983"
- 7e, 420 den.
complete discography, 28 tracks including their classic EP originally
released by Attack Punk Records (rated as one of the first 10 pure
"HC" vinyls that ever came out in Italy) + the 1983 Demo
+ 10 never heard before tunes (live, radio, reh. and more). Everything
remastered through the years under close supervision of the original
band members. Napoli Hardcore/Punk at its climax of energy and spontaneity
in full early '80s italo-HC shape. Fast, distorted to the bone, exploding
in anger. As all the newer E.U.'91 CD's, it comes in a wonderful digi-packaging
with unreleased photos and graphix from '80s 'zines/flyers. Simply
a must! |
 |
UNHOLY GRAVE - "terroraging crisis"
(GRAVE WORSHIP) - 7e, 420 den.
In 2004, the 12th anniversary of UNHOLY GRAVE, we wanted to make the
album that compiles all the past releases. We did the recordings with
DIY spirit, and this album "Terroraging Crisis" was completed.
Back then, a German label wanted to release it, but it got postponed
for various reasons. After all, this album is going to be released
by the new label "GRINDFREAKS" established by Takaho, the
vocalist of the band. The album was remastered at a studio in Osaka
by Chew of CORRUPTED.
This album was finally completed as the very "RAW GRINDCORE"
sound. The album contains 20 tracks, including a cover song of REPULSON
whom Takaho respects. It is the 5th album. |
 |
UNIDOS PELO ODIO - "renascendo das cinzas"
(TERROTTEN) - 4e, 250 den.
"This is the perfect blend of punk, thrash, metal and speed,
all spun together into a whirlwind that doesn't forsake a catchy breakdown.
" (SLUG & LETTUCE # 86) |
 |
UNISON - "ozmot" (HA-KO)
- 2.5e, 150 den.
This is mean. Fast became faster, nervous turned into psychedelic
and Unison once more confirmed that they are one of the best serbian
local bands ever! In this release there is a novelty with the lyrics
– the first Unison song in Serbian.
Realized at the start of 2005. |
 |
UNISON - "death in a cradle"
(HA-KO) - 2.5e, 150 den.
The legendary album from `98., re-released on a CD. Many consider
it the best local HC album of all times. Fast hardcore with personal
lyrics. The CD also containes the live tracks from the European tour
with Senata Fox. |
 |
UNISON - "apokalipsa"
(HA-KO) - 2.5e, 150 den.
You need to hear it all at once. Fast, nervous with thrash resemblances
and ‘apocalyptic’ lyrics. 3 Unison videos are
also on the CD. |
 |
UNISON - "resignation speaks: i will
be a corpse" (HAKO) - 2.5e,
150 den. |
 |
UNISON - "the sum" (HAKO
BASTARDS) - 2.5e, 150 den.
Once again, Unison evolves into something new but with their old recognizable
style still there. You can feel 'Ozmot and that this evolved after
him, but with a great difference. Reminds a bit on 'Resignation..'
and maybe even on 'Sunday Neurosis', but again something completely
different. As if they have mixed all previous albums and created something
more advanced, new and unexpected.
The first song is a little surprising because it has a good dose of
metal. The album has variety, a lot of melody parts, even rocker but
also Ozmot’s killer fast parts. The beauty of it all is that
all that variety has been enclosed by the Unison style, so that it
doesn’t strike out! Everything really flows in an interesting
manner and when the album ends, you are in a state of 'More!. At least
I was. Even though Outro is phenomenal :). Sum: something completely
new, grounded on the wide base of the old and what I like best with
Unison- whoever likes this kind of music even a little bit, will not
remain impartial.
Another thing I like the best with Unison and which I mustn’t
leave out: the lyrics. Perfection. As always, they say enough but
never all. What I especially liked: 'The Cow'- a text that goes in
a circle! Right after it 'Expressions'- text that has only one verse
and all the rest is just scattered sounds, of which the verse itself
speaks. Inventive and creative.:)
At the end there is a small story too, in tune with the cover (and
of course, the text of the same named song), as also with a picture
on the CD. Yes, pay attention to the cover, very interesting calculation-
one day of work and the time left for ourselves. |
 |
UNSANE CRISIS/ HASHASIN - split
(THRONE) - 4e, 250 den.
New recordings from these Spanish masters of Grindcore. Dual-vocal
technical grindcore in the vein of Discordance Axis from Unsane Crisis
(members of Wormed). Hashassin's tracks will leave you asking for
more of their crazy grind in the early Brutal Truth vein. |
 |
USUD - "creator's sorcery"
(BRAND NEW PLACE) - 4e, 250 den.
"Croatia's Usud presents their second album and they bring churning
doom fused death metal reminiscent of "Mortal Throne Of Nazarene"
era Incantation with hints of classic Scandinavian black metal, Immortal
is definitely an influence. Most of the material is mid-tempo but
they occasional break into a blastbeat or technical section. The riffs
and structures aren't really complex but Usud seems to have nailed
the mid nineties death metal quite well. Jurica Jakic has a powerful,
semi-decipherable grunt and he's backed up by guitarist Denis Balaban
quite proficiently as well. 'Arkay the Enemy' is the first track that
really shows the potential of what this outfit can do. Broken Hope
styled chugging riffs are combined with brief blast beat sections
and a convincing vocal interplay. The eerie harmonies in this track
really lift the material to a higher level. Branimir Tonkovic provides
drums and his work behind the kit is fitting although it is fairly
non-descript. 'Death Coil' once again brings up those skin crawling
guitar harmonies and that classic Scandinavian black metal vibe. 'Black
Aura' forms a nice instrumental interlude wherein the band exercises
its skills, besides that the structure really allows the track to
flow without a hassle. "Creator's Sorcery" is blessed with
a standard death metal production: the guitar is direct and thick
but remains clear, bass sound is warm, organic and audible while the
drums take the forefront but never overpower the vocals. The artwork
is fairly simple but it works within the context of the band's music.
Given that Usud work on the lyrical/conceptual side to stand out a
bit from the international crop they might be one of the Croatian
extreme metal bands to keep an eye on. Not the most technical or brutal
band on the scene today, but what they do - they do convincingly."

VOORHEES - "the final chapter"
(OUT OF STEP) - 6e, 360 den.
Voorhees formed in Durham in 1991 and are often said to have been
the best and most influential UK Hardcore band since Discharge. Over
the next 10 years Voorhees released 3 full length LP’s, 2 Split
LP’s, 4 7” EP’s and 3 Split 7” EP’s.
This release compiles the now out of print split singles the band
recorded between 1999- 2001 with Kill Your Idols, Out Cold and Radio

v/a WHAT PLEASING THE LORD LOOKS LIKE-MARRIAGE
- "extreme noise and terror from japan and israel" (HCB)
- 6e, 360 den.
All tracks are previously unreleased & exclusive for
this compiation; blasting off with the traditionally-oriented and
bizarre doom of Osaka's Ryokuchi, This is an exquisite slow-paced
10 minutes guilt trip down memory lane. Next up are Jaffa's Cadaver
Eyes, taking this trip off track with their corrosive Sloth-Doom:
Zenocide drag you down the wilderness, while wiping the soil with
their lo-fi sludge-core indignation, and then cums LietterSchpichDiet,
with their demonic Doom-Dub and heliocentric swirl: MONEYI$GOD are
up next, spreading their own cancer with a lethal dose of industrialized
and Sludge-grudge, before Poochlatz poison the air with their battered
Power Electronics and primitive industrial: Jerusalem's Remesh elaborate
the damage with a hellish ceremony of their own, dripping gradually
brutal drops of industrial-noise before Osaka's Nerveless wraps it
up with a squashing, heavy as fuck, guitar-drone that would linger
on and on.
The Lord never seemed so pleased. |

|
 |
WITCH HUNT - "blood red states"
(FFYM) - 5e, 300 den.
"Ten anger-packed tracks, each taking a stab at the current
repressive social and political climate. Musically they build on their
previous sound, combining elements of traditional anarcho punk with
more modern crust, and male/female vocals. The most noticable difference
is the much more powerful sound, likened to TRAGEDY and FROM ASHES
RISE" |
 |
WOJTYLA - s/t (DROP OUT) - 4e,
250 den.
12 tracks of grinding crust/punk with thrash influences, short songs,
fast tempos and ugly screaming female vocals. Fresh blood from Breslau!! |

After a very long, meticulous and painful process, WOTR's debut album
"Ada" is finally released. The album contains 6 tracks for
nearly an hour of depressive and nightmarish Horror Industrial . Horror
film inspired atmospheres mixed with lethargic and Doom-laden Metal.
Heavily mind-and-mood altering... |

The morgue is prepared for the massacre that awaits....
The day of reckoning is HERE! Razorback Records is proud to present
one of its best CD releases ever....WTN "Rotting In Pestilence".
These diabolical undead surgeons from Singapore have recorded one
of the greatest grind-gore albums in the genre"s history, and
this claim can be backed up once you hear this masterpiece. |

XBXRX - "sixth in sixes"
(POLYVINYL) - 5e, 300 den.
jerky noise |
 |
YEAR OF NO LIGHT - "nord" (CRUCIAL
BLAST) - 5e, 300 den.
"Isis-alikes has reached epidemic proportions. Every time
you turn around, there’s another band with atmospheric riffs,
eight-minute songs, understated artwork, and a beard (or two). It’s
easy to see why this sound has caught on: Black Sabbath, Godflesh,
and Neurosis sound much less scary with more melody. French outfit
Year of No Light is as guilty of imitation as any, but with only one
album, the band has leapt to the fore of atmospheric metal, giving
Isis themselves a run for their money. When not only Isis but also
Jesu, Godflesh, and The Cure come to mind, an album deserves attention"
|
 |
YES SENSEI "what i do the best is what
i do the worst" - (ROKLOK) - 4e,
250 den.
the band has evolved from the more primitive noisy Unwound and Jesus
Lizard esque renderings found on this debut perfectly documents what
the band was like in it's original three piece line up with Paul Como
on bass. Eight tracks of noisy dynamic indie rock. |
 |
YES SENSEI "we who transplant sustain"
(ROKLOK) - 4e, 250 den.
The second Yes Sensei release is more of everything. More focused,
dynamic, noisy, experimental, grooving, just more of the elements
of Yes Sensei expanded. "We Who Transplant Sustain" is raunch
statement from the Long Island quartet who refuses to allow Punk culture
to be pigeonholed. This sophomore effort does it's best to challenge
any perception one may have. Influenced by The Minutemen, Jesus Lizard,
Sonic Youth and the free jazz stylings of Ornette Coleman, Yes Sensei
somehow creates their own brand of music that redefines energy. |
 |
YOUR KINGDOM IS DOOMED/ ARCATERA - split
(DIY CONSPIRACY) - 2e, 120 den.
YOUR KINGDOM IS DOOMED hails from Istanbul / Turkey and punishes the
listener with melodic political crust attack with plenty of traditional
metal thrown in. The closest band comparison I could make is SEE YOU
IN HELL. Their side contains 9 songs of aggressive hardcore, fronted
by 2 giant male singers, and a female bass player who actually plays
a song on guitar too. They are quite a live attraction here in their
hometown. ARCATERA is an amazing neo-crust band from Sweden, reminding
me of a more straightforward, brutal and rawer PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING,
TRAGEDY and FROM ASHES RISE. 3 songs of screaming and shouting brutal
assault of Swedish hardcore that we all love. |

ZEROID - "2004" (UNSOCIABLE)

 |
ZLODZJEJE ROWEROW - "...gdy wrzala krew
'95-'99" (REFUSE) - 5e,
300 den.
ZLODZIEJE ROWEROW started in 1993 in a small town in North East Poland,
Zambrow. They were influenced not only by the rich Polish hardcore
punk history of the '80s and early '90s but also by the more emotionally
driven mid and late '80s hardcore bands from Washington DC, most of
all Verbal Assault, who played in Poland in the late '80s and and
have had a great impact on the band up till now. From the start the
band has gained their own individuality and worked hard on their message
focused on social, political and personal issues. Since their debut
tape in 1996 they have been strongly related to Refuse Records and
after years, hundreds of shows and a couple of releases they became
one of the most important bands in Poland with a legendary status.
This CD compiles their debut tape from 1996, a couple of songs released
on compilations and limited tape releases of the band and also a recording
session from 1997 originally intended to be a EP but in the end never
going on release. The total 23 songs are released in digipack with
a 16pgs booklet. |
