A WHILE IT'S BEEN

Hello guys!

No the blog is not dead, I just needed some time away from it, but back in action, full force and all that shit. Because there is still music in this world that is just too fucked up and nasty to just let it go without proselytising about it. But before that I have a few things to say.

One, March was a postless month because I took part in the iternet boycot. No uploading or downloading anything for the entirety of March. Many of us decided to do this, if you wer ein on it, high five, if not, then I dunno, you must be an idiot. Or not. The reason I did it is because the SOPA act and the PIPA and the more brutal, European version, the ACTA are scray business. I dunno if the boycott had any effect on the ruling to get the fuck of our backs, and ACTA failing miserably in the court, although, to be real, I think that probably one or more of the judges just enjoys kiddie porn, or midget porn, or something, and he did not want it ruining his career, so, they shot it down.

Two, I went to a show yesterday of some band sthat I did not know were gonna be playing, and it rocked, spontaneous drunken moshpit, in a rehearsal room. I felt genuinely good, this cute girl was smelling me for some reason, our basist told her I smelt bad, so she checked. Its these littlr things that make a show fun, and of course, the weed and booze and general good sentiment also help a lot. One of the bands playing are friends, and half their team bucke don em, so they got new folks, ones who play music very differently than the ones who bucked, but it is still good. This is so rare and so fucking good when this happens, change your entire rhythm section and still have a good band? You must know something.

Three, I know posting has been next to nothing, but I have not even time to sleep. Even as we speak my wife is staring at me with these eyes that are saying "this is more important to you than me, you asshole?" How do you answer a question like that? I spend all of my time devoted to blastbeats, they literally gave me purpose in life and somehting to do. I have something that I love, that most people do not have. I am fairly okay at playing them too. Realy, its the only thing I have ever wanted to do wiht my life. Before I knew any of y'all, including me wifey, I knew blast beats. And this is not answering the question. Cana ny hiuman relationship be as all consuming? Does this make blastbeats more important? I dunno. I think I am afraid fo these questions.

Damage Digital have been mentioned before, they are like a zanier, more "Japanese" version of Discordance Axis. They are really crazy, the song structures and drum beats are basically the same, but with extra annoying high snare, god I love it. I dunno why I haven't put up their two full lengths albums yet,vas I have listened the shit out of them, they are a bit more serious than the shorts. Probably because they are a Cephalochromoscope band, they play the kind of music that has its place on that wonderful blog. Which is where I got both of these albums.

DAMAGE DIGITAL- MOSS
DAMAGE DIGITAL- KABE
The next two tapes I wanna talk about are Agathocles stuff. The best AG material was written between 1994 adn 1998 in my humble opinion, and the best in that is when they played wiht that drummer guy who was really good at blastbeats. He was on all of their 95-96 shit. Most people do not like ot think of AG as being a good band, but they are. Even their live shit is killer on here. On one of the tapes they are playing n a radioshow, and it is fucking intense. Also on that tape is Rot form their classic, super burly, super primitive monkey noise attack of fucking rage state, when they were very sloppy and the songs were just SO good. On that tape also is the incredibly forgettable Masher. Mince band, though, so give em credit. Its hard to be Mince. The other tape is a live of AG and also has my special favorites Dahmer on it as well, and a creepy sounding, spazztic American or Canadian band (judging fomr the sound) called Jangle. They are kinda nice I guess. Too bad they released a tape with two of the best bands in the genre, because it is hard to get credit like that. Dahmer sounds hela raw and tight live. Sound Corrupter are also on here, they suck. Its like noise grind kindergarden.

AGATHOCLES/ROT/MASHER
AGATHOCLES/DAHMER/JANGLE/SOUND CORRUPTER

Next up is the noisey, raw, raw shit of Melanocetus Murrayi. Truly unmarvelled in sheer pummeling onslaught of just garbage noise, this band can be exemplified in just one word: relentless.
The highlight of these tapes for me is the split with Industrial Noise. First off, Industrial Noise is fucking great, noise/grind or just raw grind, the music is weitten, but there si pplenty of just playing aorund in it too. Loose atmosphere, leaking almost. Its sick. And the MM side of it is like a noise grind band, but it sounds like a band, you can hear that there are insturments involved, its weird. Usually you dont know what the fuck is happening to your ear drums wiht these guys. Their self titled tape is like really fucking long, endless barage of noise. All of the tape rips were made by Marci, so big up for contribuiting.

So there was a hardcore band from the States called Deadfall. They released 3 EPs, did their thing, were around for a bit then split up. Then some of the members founded another band, called Nightstick Justice. The former was a fast, kinda political American hardcore, with, sometimes, blastbeats. The latter is more like an old school faster type of hardcore band, and is fucking killer. Not sure which one is better, overall, as they are both really good. I hardly know anything at all about these bands, but they are on par with Tear It Up for me.

DEADFALL- COMRADES

NIGHTSTICK JUSTICE- MINDLESS VIOLENCE EP

Leaving you yet again with some classics. All of these were intended for the blog a long time ago anyhow, so yeah. The first is Entrails Massacre and their split with Cruel Face. Fuckin eh, EM in their prime, probably one of their best records ever. I own this one, but this is not my rip, my vinyl rips are just NOT sounding good at all. Maybe if I wasn't a complete idiot with machinery of any sort, this would not be an issue. Cruel Face are a Brazilian hardcore band that has leanings towards grind. It is fucking great, and on this recors I would say they are as good as Entrals Massacre's side. For me to say that is quite an honour, really, I have a serious soft spot for EM. Tons of blastbeats, good sound quality, in a way, although extra fuckin grimey. Highly recommended.
The other is Excruciating Terror. I have not put anything on here yet form tem, and I cannot seem to remember why. For a while, I only had this EP of them, and when I got a hold of their longer material, I was disappointed. The riffs were great, even cooler than Phobia riffs, but so sloppy, with the drumming so shitty, and the sound so high tech and sterile, it was aweful. Since then I have come to love those two albums, but like how one loves a relative who is insane. This EP however, is true love. The vocals are great, the sound is grimey and foggy, and all kinds of different flavors of fucked up. Sloppy and raw too. Really some of the best grind you can get.
ENTRAILS MASSACRE/CRUEL FACE
EXCRUCIATING TERROR- LEGACY OF HATE

Next post coming soonish, lots of new shit to talk about, so keep an eye out.

300 + BABY

I will be on tour for a while, like 10 days, and afterwards, Im probably not gonna wanna deal with this blog for liek a week, but I can't let you go hungry, man. This is basically a non-blastbeat post, except Rottrevore save the day, with slow, sparce, and rare as fuck blastbeats. All other things are basically noise. But wait, there's more....
First off, Rottrevore are an early 90s, politically inspired, paranoid, downtuned, dungeony, lo-fi wreck of a band, with long winded song titles and lyrics, using many many SAT words, like pantalgia. Or their full length which is entitled Iniquitous. That one sounds a little less sludgy than all of the other ones. They sometimes have blastbeats, their songs are like 3-6 minutes, with one million riffs in each, it's also a bit sloppy, adding to the general sludgy, tense chaos that is their sound. I sort of think that drugs played a part in this band, but seeing as I know next to nothing about the people involved in it, it's hard to say. I obsess over this band as well, but given their limited discography, it's a fairly easy addicition to satisfy. If ever any band plays a cover of any songs of theirs, please send me links. I will not be ungrateful.

Goat Vulva is made by the same dude who does Beherit, this was his noise sound project, it was much better than Beherit ever was, because of the fact that he did not waste his time doing things he does not know how to do, like write riffs. Some of this stuff has instruments and riffs and stuff, some of it is monotonous, some of it is just plain disturbing and weird, but all of it is about sex. Also, Satan. There are blastbeats in there sometimes, but I will give you a reward if you can find them. It is just soooooo lo-fi and grimmy sounding, you'll be damned if you can find it, although, it is technically audible.

GOAT VULVA- CRUCIFIXIONS

GOAT VULVA- BLASPHEMOUS SEXFAGO

GOAT VULVA- BAPHOMETAL

GOAT VULVA- EROTIC WORSHIP

GOAT VULVA- CAPELLA

I am also gonna hit you up with a newer piece of blackened noise, from the Music Stinks guys, which sounds a lot like a mix between Goat Vulva and an ambient band. It's good, it's short, it does not have instruments.

GRAVEWAX I

See you in November. Also, we now have 300+ downloads, albums and shit on this blog. If you don't fond something you like, you must not be looking very hard.

Melano-Post

Melanocetus Murrayi are an excellent noise-grind-harsh, totally crazy, totally authentic mindfuck of a band. They are excellent people, as I have mentioned when I posted their split with Noituus and Praia De Vomito, earlier. Well, since then, Dimitris, their guitarist has sent me like 4 Cds, 6 tapes and a 7" of their material, which I shall get to work on ripping for you guys. For right now, here are 3 CDs, as the 4th on is the one I ahve mentioned above. Much love to Mao, Dimitris and LaLa for these.

The frist one is the split between them and PTAO, a Czech noise-grind band, it is friggin amazingly good, their side is one track fo non-stop noise barrage where youc an kinda pick out the instruments, but its really really just gut wrenching garbage noise. PTAO side has a long rehearsal jam sort of thing, not the best in my opinion, although incredibly tight. After that are 40 songs in 2 and a half minutes, that one i like much more, and then 4 songs in one and a half minute, that shit is the best.
BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURGH!

Here is also the split between Final Exit and PTAO. I am only putting this up because it is so fucking awesome. Final Exita re a rcok and roll influenced noise grind, harsh band. Totally uniue, but obviously Japanese. Very good stuff, and PTAO side is also very strong. Uncountable amounts of short tracks.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!

Next up is their split with Vulgar Nausea. The Melanocetus side is basicaly white noise, with really low, distorted vocals, and a washing machine or something in the background. Cool intro stuff as well, one long track of total noise, the drums are not very audible on this one, and the drums are always pretty quiet with this band, but here they are mostly indistinguishable form the rest of the background noise. Vulgar Nausea side is similar to Napalmed and other such power electronics things. Its really hit or miss, if you like that sort fo thing, you will like them for sure. Very experimental, off the grid type of shit.
BRUUUUUU-UUU-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

The last tidbit is the Harsher Than Life 4 way, which is a toss up between Potabilizadora, Melanocetus Murrayi, Funeral Mongoloids and Colico. Potabilizadora are a sort of techno influenced harsh noise band, with gameboy stuff and interesting samples, also something that sounds like a guitar, but mostly white noise and harsh bursts of feed back. The melano side is even more fucked up and lurking and bestial than their usual efforts. on this one it is particularly harsh, the vocals are a little bit more human, but still very far from it. It sounds like deep sea creatures fucking up a sound studio. Funeral Mongoloids seems to be harsh noise with drums and screaming over it. There is also a lot of intros of a dude speaking what I presume to be Swedish. Also, they remind me a lot of Deche-Charge. Colico is really weird, they have like samples but also grind, and are sort of nicely recorded, its just strange.
GGGRRRRRRR-AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!

So yeah, more like that once i feel good enough to go over to Marci's to rip tapes. Right now I am ill from standing in the cold for 40 days. Also, my vinyl rips are coming along, but they still suck, but soon this will be a problem of the past.

VÉRSZAROSFASZ

the title sums it up really good. it means 'bloodshittycock' in hungarian, reflects the attitude of DIN-ADDICT, one of my alltime favourite bands. never heard of them? shame on you. theyre like one of the first grindcore bands from hungary who toured europe, played at obscene extreme fest (i guess in 2000 or so...), had a shitloada releases, and maybe even more line-up changes. i try to collect every single shit they had ever puked out from their digestive systems of grind, drugged out gory shit and most of all, pure noise. i try to talk about this band without too much childish fanatism, but it might be a problem for me, i adore this band too much. it has everything that i (and probably you too) need. shitty quality (on their later releases they went to studio, but sounds still very noisy and chaotic), sloppy blasts and d-beats, veryveryvery low tuned guitars -, sounds like a fuckin tornado of chainsaws! -,grows, screams, sometimes pitchshifted vocals (which i usually dont like, but this time i have to make an exception). i couldnt see the band live, i missed their later shows, altho i wanted to go, i still feel sorry i didnt make it. their best shit was sadly unreleased, a demo recording from 2005, ill try to beg for it at one of the singers who i happen to be friends with.
they split up due to personal problems. the drummer plays now in german crust-grind band PER CAPITA, the guitarist runs a studio called NOISE LAB, one of the singer plays in many bands (more experimental, druggy, industrial-oriented shit, called RONCSIPAR, FUTURE REALM), and i dont know shit about the other singer. after they broke up, they formed again under the name of LONG PIG, which they titled 'turbo sludgecore', with a different drummer from hungarian gore band MY FIRST KNIFE. that band was more into monolithic and i dont know how to say but 'cyber' grind. altho it wasnt cybergrind even a bit. so, some releases from these fine men:

the first shit is the OBLITERATE / DIN-ADDICT split, which rules. obliterate are a slovakina grind band as i know, but i might be wrong. the play a bit metalic grind stuff, too 'good' for my ears, i dont really like their stuff, but its nice to listen to it sometimes. the other side is awesome, loud, agressive, drugged out, pure din-addict. the last song is the best song on the album, period. describes themselves perfectly. grind going to some psychedelic stonerish stuff with gory vocals and some really serious atmosphere.
DOWN-LOWED.

next up is the split with GRINDUSTRY from netherlands. too death metal for me. too techy. too many vocal skills, sorry, kill me for this, i dont like them that much. but as always, din-addict rules here.
GRIND IT.

the last shit is the full length of din-addict, titled MUSIC FOR OPEN MINDS, you can see an awesome picture of the cover up there, it looks like that. this album is typical din-addict. dual vocals, low, grunty guitars, sloppy drums, noisy as hell. end of story.
OPEN UP.

the last two stuff are a special combo from all the tracks of a side-project of the 'mid din-addict' members, called SZARGYEREK, which simply means shitkid, refering to all you fuckin annoying cock rock kids. drum machine grind, which i usually hate, but again, i have to make an exception. songs are about hatred towards teenagers in hungary. my message to all you dickheads: die. this is what szargyerek said to you too. both demos were released together on a double 7" by Undislessed Records, Skud Records, Toxic Productions in a split with Anubis, Critical Mass and Malignant Tumour.
Miért van ennyi megvezetett álrokkker Tankcsapdás köcsög?

thank you. marci. <3

shoot the flying luttenbacteria cult.

i have nothing special to say right now, just some really fast and noisy shit to show.
sorry, i cant rant and rave that much as mark, but soon ill come up with something he does all the time. but heres a really cool picture, i laughed on it for like an hour. enjoy.


first stuff is a demo from leeds based power violence band SHOOT THE BASTARD. i know the drummer for years, but we havent talked for a while now, but warren does really awesome stuff on this little demo. straight ahead, noisy and fuckin raw, no bass, and agressive. really good.
shoot it.

next up is a concept album by one of my favourite bands of all time, THE FLYING LUTTENBACHERS. its something like black metal inspired inside-out noisy free jazz chaos. really evil stuff, part 4 is one of the best songs ever written. weasel walter plays insanely fast blastbeats, as well as mick barr and ed rodriguez on guitar. the bass player is mike green from noise band BURMESE. gotta check this out if you dont know the luttenbachers yet, this is a really good starting point to love them.
void of void of void of void.

and the last thing in this post today is a live set of BACTERIA CULT, a project of chris dodge, power violence living legend and pioneer from bands like spazz, despise you, lack of interest, etc, you know. this stuff is a lot like usual power electronics/harsh noise acts, but with 4 members, really cool stuff. sounds like early bastard noise records to me, i love it.
get the D-ZEEZ.

/////////\\\\\\\\\\ <- this is a mustache.

hey there worshippers. this post will be about some really obscure, noisy and untalented music again, but now im going to borrow some links from my friend Sasho, who runs YOUBLEEDWESMILE, which is full with KVLT STVFF.

so the first kvlt shit is Anal Macabre's epos, the favourite albumtitle of the blastbeat worshippers, UNTALENTED BOYS. its a lot like Sauerkraut, awful noisy stuff, sloppy playing, and horrible quality. you cant hate it, its a terror listening to it, but its so satisfying in a way. it was recorded in 1995, 22 tracks, each fuckin awesome. mark could bitch about this record for hours, i cant, im too lazy right now, and mark is somewhere in germany selling hats or something like that.

untalented and fucked up

next up is an epic album from Sauerkraut from bulgaria (AM is from bulgaria too by the way). you know them. i dont have to talk about it. its pure noise without any talent. fuck yeah.

*bulgarian title i cannot translate*

thanks for reading or not. marci.

BLEEEAAAARGHHHH!!!!!!!

http://www.mediafire.com/?gzdnm4nncjn

everybody who is familiar with power violence knows what this word of expression was meant to be. when it came out it was the ultimate compilation, and it still is. it was released by the ultimate, the one and only chris fuckin dodge's (from spazz, lack of interest, despise you legend for you dumb fucks who dont know) label, SLAP-A-HAM records.

Bleeeaaaarghhhhh! was a compilation of compilations. it had 3 volumes, having every notable band from that time from every kinds of scenes and styles, but the aim and the message was the same. the aim was to have a lot of bands with songs less than a few seconds, fast as fuck ripping hardcore only. and the message was music war (as the 3rd Bleeeaaaarghhhhh!'s title said, the music war.)

download it, or i will never ever like you.
marci.

Lobsters

Thank you Marci for that powerful, and also violent post. We all learned a lot.

So today, I am gonna do a special on this band, Ruido De Odio. They are a politically motivated noise-grind-hardcore band from Ecuador, not your hot bed for this genre, and what they do is simply friggin awesome. I do not have their entire discography, for they appear on several compilations, and have split tapes and rehearsals, as all true noise grind bands, and I just cannot get a hold of any of that shit. I have here their LP entitled Proletarios, and two splits, one of them with the amazing Japanese band D.I.E, and one of them with fellow noisenheimers (copyright Seanocide on that one) K.K.F form Germany. I guess they have a thing for bands who are acronyms. These three mighty recordings I will sharew with you, in the form of a smple mediafire link.

The "music" is fucking awesome, pure noisecore grind. I figure you might need it after all that classical shit on this blog, hahahahahaha. I don't think anyone ever reads these rants so I can say whatever I feel like. This band is primarily composed of lobsters. Sometimes their singer sounds like a robot. Most of the time, he sounds like an angry monkey who has his tail caught in something painful and evil, which is pretty crazy for a lobster. Also, I must follow Marci's orders, and get high, and listen to something fast.

Get high on noise.

2nd GBN Post

To follow up the GBN post, i wanted to post some of their early EPs, when they still actually played gore. Be forewarned, it is drum machine driven, which i utterly despise, yet for them, somehow, it works. And by utterly despise, I mean just that, I am a drummer, I hate the way drum machines sound and feel. But the recording quality on “I Recommend You…Amputation” is just so fucking raw and awesome and grimy, that it covers up the fact pretty well. So here you are, 2 EPs, “I Recommend You…Amputation!” and “An EP You Want”, both still gored out pretty fully.

http://www.mediafire.com/?biwjwmim1nz

The next link is to GBN’s noise shit. They have a split with Merzbow, as well as a 3 way split between them, Nikudorei, and the extremely weak ass band Arsedestroyer. GBN rip it up really, really harsh like as usual, the Merzbow shit is amazing harsh noise, on both sides, while on the 3 way, they play more in the vein of their splits, but much more noise influenced, feed back, total distortion, samples, etc. Really good, in my humble opinion. The Nikudorei track is also the coolest shit, it has this subtle creepy vibe to it, even though it is absolutely just harsh noise. Oh, and let me make it clear, the 3 way is not mine, but I got it off of Cephalochromoscope, one of the best blogs around. Ever.

http://www.mediafire.com/?izdm5mzomdl

Enjoy, and just so you know, this isn’t even a fraction f their discography. I just figure no one likes them (I have never met anyone who does, except this one guy), so this will be enough for novelty purposes. Worship satan.

Escape routes

“Escapism is mental diversion by means of entertainment or recreation, as an "escape" from the perceived unpleasant or banal aspects of daily life.”

This is the definition of escapism, as it stands on wikipedia. Routes of escape from monotony and control, without which we would all go insane. These are the little breaks and breaches in the system that make life bearable. The spliff at the end of the day, the odd hour of playing your favorite video game, the Friday night you don’t remember from getting absolutely wasted. There are ways to maximize the time you spend escaping form reality, and make it a habit, yes indeed, to spend as much time as possible educating yourself at your leisure, relaxing outside of institutionalization, that is to say, illegally, or legally, but in a way that is looked down upon. Every time you are in one of these situations, every time you escape, you are committing if something that they just cannot ban, then something that is considered immoral, antisocial, geeky, nerdy, in one word, marginalized. Escapism can be very productive, and is a means to create outside of the system. Take the tape distro that is associated with this blog, and is run by my esteemed partner, marci. It is just a waste of time, really, its an escape, making tapes, 20-30 of them at a time, he does not make any money off of it, he does not do anything grand or gigantic for the hardcore scene, he is not overthrowing governments, but what he is doing, is using his time for himself, to do shit that he feels like fucking doing, and using his creative skills in doing so. Every time I rehearse, or get high, or do the necessary preparations for doing so, I am engaging actively in escapism. This tape distro, this blog, my bands, my addiction to cannabis, are all escape routes.

The escape from structured music is noise. Noise can be categorized in many different ways, and in many different ways can one achieve making noise. However, in my opinion, the best is when grind is so harsh, so raw and so filthy, that it is basically noise. This genre is called noise-grind or raw grind. Whatever. I remember the first band I heard that did this, they were the mighty Gore Beyond Necropsy. I got a bunch of their stuff form Edwin at the Underground Collection, back when you could still trade him CD-Rs, before that somehow stopped. After that it was instantly love.

This link is to 4 of their splits, the one with Disgorge (Aus), who suck really hard, the one with Senseless Apocalypse, who are a japanese power violence- grind band, and who also happent o be one of my favorites of all time, ever. And also, the classic split with Regurgitate and with Warsore. If you do not know who those two bands are, lurk more. GBN do it big on all of these ones, especially the last two. The Rgte sid eof their split sounds like white noise, almost.It is full of reverb, and the guitar is basically just static. GBN have a really unique, filth encrusted, short noise attacks, full of feedback, lots of low end, very deep growls, sounds harsh and crazy, with intros that are not too long, and are noot your typical intros. They are also fun. Just good grindcore, some of it is improvised, or sounds like it.

And the tracks are in AAC format. If you dont like it, convert it.
