THANKS TO RODRIGO a.k.a. CHILEAN GRIND
Rodrigo was nice enough to send me this link of ANARKITRAN and this is what they say about themselves: ANARKITRAN, is born summer of the year 2001, the idea was simple, to do GRINDCORE, but with enough "pichanga" and mosh. With the passage of time to have a track list considerable that to do our first presentations in alive, where the response of the people was comforting enough. Since the scene GRINDCORE, in our region, was almost void. To measured of the year 2002 we record our promotional, demo "ACTITUD BIZARRA" who consists of 19 courts of chilean GRINDCORE!

RECORDED IN ACTION
RAZZIA are one of Germany´s bests and most well known PUNK bands ever. this is a tape that was released by the band and their record label themselves. this tape contains some strange tracks I´ve never seen anywhere else! hear for yourself!MEHR SOMA!
this is an all German thing here! on one side you get 3 songs from SOMA, 2 of their own and a cover of D.Y.S.´s WOLFPACK. when not doing a cover song of an old Boston HARDCORE classic they are more what you would call new school MOSHCORE. not bad at all but not as good as D.Y.S.! on the flipside MEHR WUT (= more wrath) offer 8 tracks of fast and furious CRUST. musically they are way more up my alley! the 7" came with a very cool done little booklet!PINOY PUNK
I promised Mr. MY FATE TO HATE to upload this boot of the THIRD WORLD CHAOS 7". they were from the Philippines and offer you 4 tracks of catchy, melodic PUNK. all I know about them besides that is that they´ve at least released one full length too and that this bootleg was limited to 300 copies!SOUNDS OF BETRAYAL
NASUM, YACÖPSAE, PRONE, ASSEL, DUDMAN, GRIDE, HEAD HITS CONCR
ETE, HOG, DEMISOR, FEAR IS THE PATH TO THE DARKSIDE, LEFT IN RUINS, TOURIST TRAP, REFORM CONTROL, VOMIT FOR BREAKFAST & PARKINSON thrash, rip, scream, rage, scream, shout and crawl their way through 23 songs on this 2 x 7" compilation that was released on SOUNDS OF BETRAYAL rec.! a double 7" compilation that doesn´t suck so to say!Sunday, May 11, 2008
AGAINST IS THE BASTARD!
I was never that much into this 2 bands at all! I always found most of BORN AGAINST´s music boring and somehow MAN IS THE BASTARD couldn´t convince me either! the reason I still got this 8" is that there is a track on this record called ALBANY ACADEMY which is one of the few BORN AGAINST songs I consider really good! the 3 other BORN AGAINST tracks are like most of their songs - boring! at least in my ears. it´s a pity! they had one of the best names a band could have, good lyrics and put in a lot of effort but their music is overrated as fuck if you ask me. the flipside serves you 5 MAN IS THE BASTARD tunes that represent the worst they ever did! sounds like very bad MINIMAL HOUSE music at times!
LIVE @ KRAWALL 2000
some more Hamburg tape only recordings. this time most of the stuff was recorded live at a place called Krawall 2000 (translates to Riot 2000). the CORONERS recordings are from a tape I got from one of Hamburgs 1st PUNKS back in the early 90ies without a cover or a tracklist. other recordings are from a Krawall 2000 livetape comp. featuring CORONERS, BUTTOCKS, HANS-A-PLAST, RAZORS, etc. and as there was a track from MEINE SCHUPPEN and one from SPIEL 77 that were never released on vinyl as some kind of bonus on the tape
without cover I included those 2 tracks too! I didn´t rip the whole Krawall 2000 livetape. the stuff I left out is the stuff of some Swedish bands and some German stuff. however, I included one track of HALT DIE SCHNAUZE so you might get a clue why I didn´t rip the rest of the german stuff! quality isn´t the best but as written in a previous post if you do care for soundquality on this kind of recordings you´re a fucking idiot anyway!
IN THE CITY OF DEATH
Hamburgs RAZORS were one of Germany´s 1st PUNK bands back in 1979. their official discography states 3 7"es, the BANNED PUNX 12" and their full length. however there are some tape only recordings like this 11 tracks that were recorded live in their rehearsal room in 1985 with a new singer (their original singer disappeared in the 80ies, so Lui from PUNKENSTEIN / NAPALM did the vocals on BANNED PUNX, but showed up again years later when RAZORS reformed and released a new 7"). the quality isn´t top notch but when you care about soundquality on recordings like this - you are a fucking idiot anyway! period and end of essay!

MOSH OF ASS
as ROSE ROSE´s MOSH OF ASS 12" has been uploaded on some other blogs just a short time ago I´ll keep it short. just posted it as I had already ripped it and the other postings all had used a different cover. here you get the cover of the the IN YOUR FACE rec. pressing cover! b.t.w. no, I´m not ashamed of the cheap excuse!
THRASH & BURN (the 2nd)
the THRASH AND BURN 6" of Sweden´s D.S. - 13 is re-upped in better quality! 9 hits! all killers - no fillers!Friday, May 9, 2008
MORTIS INVICTUS
MASSKONTROLL´s WILL YOU EVER LEARN 12" is their best record in my ears! dark CRUST with even darker lyrics heavy influenced by Swedish and Japanese HARDCORE! I guess I don´t have to say more as everybody knows them and everybody knows that people of you-know-who played in MASSKONTROLL!
FIVE INCH SLAUGHTER
one of my all time fave records is the DROP DEAD / CROSSED OUT split 5"! this 5" is packed with rage 110% no matter if it´s the 6 DROP DEAD tracks or the 4 CROSSED OUT tracks! all killers - no fillers! the only sad thing about this 5" (and most 5"es in general) is that it´s difficult to place the needle on the little fucker! that´s why there´s some awful noise on the beginning of the 1st DROP DEAD song!
WARGAMES
Bernard asked me in a comment if I got anything from Berlin´s MALINHEADS, that was kind of funny as I was prep
aring some MALINHEADS for posting while he asked. this is their 1st 7" from 1983 on Berlin´s POGAR records (which did the V.K.J. 2 x 7" too). as there are some rumors that there were just 50 copies made with the cover you see above I did a little research on the web, but all I found out was that the above cover is the cover of the 1st press and the cover on the right is the cover of the 2nd press. if anybody can tell me more about this write a comment! musicwise MALINHEADS were faster then most other German bands from the same time and had English lyrics (but used German for the t
itle of the 7") as they had heavy influences from DISCHARGE and other U.K. bands from that time! their influences are plain to see in the name of their songs ( WARGAMES), too! and in case you don´t know: the title of the 2nd song BECKS & SEX (or BEX & SEX on the 2nd press cover) relates to German Becksbier!RAGE WITH A MACHINE
another one sided 7"...this time it´s a compilation called DRUM MACHINE MADNESS that was released by ROBOTIC EMPIRE records. this compilation serves you 5 tracks from 5 bands, which are WADGE, NEMO, PILGRIM FETUS, ALIEN CRUCIFIXION and AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED, and comes in heavy, green marbled vinyl (my copy came with this childish doodling on the non-music side). the record lives up to it´s title pretty well. all band
s here use drum machines instead of human drumers and are all fast as fuck but basicaly DRUM MACHINE GRIND is a love it or hate it thing! if you dig this kind of music like I do you´ll like this comp. if you don´t like this kind of music then you´ll hate this comp. and the bands on it for sure!FACE UP TO IT!
I found this 7" on someone´s blog a short time ago (sorry, can´t remember which blog it was) but after I downl
oading it I recognized it was just ripped with 128 k/Bits. as this is still one of my favorite 7"es I ripped it myself. so here you got HERESY´s WHOSE GENERATION? 7" ripped with 256 k/Bits! HERESY were one of the best bands that ever existed and the number of bands influenced by their music is legion! fast & furious U.K. HARDCORE the way it was meant to be! this 7" was released in 1989 by the legendary IN YOUR FACE rec. label that was done by HERESY´s bassist Kalv and came in a nice gatefold cover. as a bonus you get the one sided LIVE AT LEEDS 7". as the title says this is a one sided live 7". in 99,99% of the cases live records 
are something that no one needs and this is no exception! I would´ve never bought something like this but got it as a bonus while trading records. it was released by OPEN rec from the U.S. and has 3 tracks in decent quality on one and some scratched in "pictures" on the other side. I tried to make the pics visible for your entertainment!Thursday, May 8, 2008
PARANOIA IN DER STRASSENBAHN
the best DEUTSCHPUNK comp. PARANOIA IN DER STRASSENBAHN (well it is at least the best DEUTSCHPUNK comp. in my ears) is ready to download here! as it features BUTTOCKS, COPSLAYERS (their only song ever released!), NAPALM, RAZORS, RAZZIA, SS ULTRABRUTAL, CORONERS, SLIME, PUNKENSTEIN, etc. I strongly advise you to do yourself a favor and download this gem if you don´t have the vinyl version as I do! or even better go buy the recently re-issued cd version so you got the great linernotes. b.t.w. an old friend of mine did a part of them!FRIHET?
once again it´s time for some Swedish noise! and this time it´s OPERATION´s turn. I saw them once together with DETESTATION and CRESS (you remember the story where I was harassing DOOM´s Bri for being sellout? that was the party after that show! see flyer!) and they were great! I´m a sucker when it comes down to female fronted CRUST/HARDCORE bands and OPERATION are among those! to make a long story short: OPERATION is hard hitting CRUST with female vocals! b.t.w. they released a 2nd 12" some years after FRIHET?

THANKS TO COUNT YORGA pt. II
as the post title says I got this from Count Yorga. well maybe I should change the name of the blog to ARE WE MEAN? and retire as I´m just using the links I got from other people? anyway KOBRA KAHN is a band I nearly know nothing about! I think they had a split 7" with ULTIMATE WARRIORS and maybe a 10". this is their 12 track demo including a I HATE YOU cover! I saw them live once and they really ripped!THANKS TO MITCHEL pt. V
this time Michel delivers you one of down under`s finest: Heist - blasting, fastcore from Perth, Austrailia. Members of Nailed Down and Rupture. you get 2 7"es here but as I don´t own them myself and couldn´t find the covers on the web the music will have do it!
EDIT: Count Yorga scanned the covers and inlays so you won´t miss those neither! say thanks!THANKS TO MITCHEL pt. IIII
once again it´s time for something Mitchel was nice enough to contribute! he wrote: Knuckle Scraper - Beau from Insect Warfare, Alex from Hatred Surge and Mikey from 50/50 come together to form this ultimate trio that plays some of the best new-wave powerviolence!Monday, May 5, 2008
THANKS TO MITCHEL pt. III
Mitchel provided me with rips of FORCED EXPRESSION´s 7" and their split 7"es with AVULISON and APARTMENT 213. I´ve those 7"es myself and had them on my to do list as well but as I´m a lazy ass I´ll use Mitchel´s rips. FORCED EXPRESSION had Daryl of CITIZENS ARREST on voclas and guitar. if you expect HARDCORE like CITIZENS ARREST you are wrong! FORCED EXPRESSION are way rawer and more along the lines of GRIND than CITIZENS ARREST were! a great band in it´s own right!
AVULSION play full speed ahead old school GRINDCORE!
you should be familiar with APARTMENT 213 by now!
FORCED EXPRESSION / APATMENT 213 - SPLIT 7"S N U F F E D ! a.k.a. THANKS TO MITCHEL pt. II
Mitchel provided me with a link for a never released LACK OF INTEREST 12" that has the singer of SCALP-LOCK (U.S.A.) on vocals. I asked him for more details and he said: This album was recorded in 1998 with Trevor Fairbanks (Scalplock / Peter Mangalore) and then him and L.O.I. had some sort of fight and he left the band and the album was snuffed and no one ever heard it. Unfortunately for lots of fans it still is unreleased and will probably never see the light of day. Just like the Crossed Out/Slave State LP that never came out. A fucking shame!Sunday, May 4, 2008
Mr. BURGHER MADE ME HAPPY!
the crazy glue sniffing Swedish madman provided me with a rip of ZYNTHSLAKT`s Spray På En Vägg 12" that I used to own myself many years ago till I was stupid enough to trade it away (to my defence I might add that I was offered a really good trade including the NEGATIVE GAIN 12")! anyway, as you might have guessed from the name ZYNTHSLAKT were from Sweden but what you couldn´t guess from the name is that ZYNTHSLAKT had members of whatever band in it´s ranks! now that I´ve listened to this 12" again I still regret this trade after all those years! if you´re into Swedish PUNK you should download this (and don´t forget to say thank you to slobo!)!THANKS TO MITCHEL!
Mitchel wrote: Hello there, Your blog rules! I saw sometime last year you uploaded a split 7" between They Live/Countdown To Oblivion. I really enjoyed having the They Live tracks to put on a cd, I already had the vinyl. I have uploaded the mp3s of They Live's 625 7" titled A Taste Of The Good Life, I figured you might want to post it on your page. Extremely punishing, brutal hardcore! really great idea to send me those files as I really love THEY LIVE. but as we got new rules I did a little research on the web first and it seems like this 7" is sold (just 1000 were made) and so I decided to put it here!Saturday, May 3, 2008
PUNCHING A GIFT HORSE IN THE MOUTH!
Mr. Batguano gave me a hint that he´d appreciate it if I´d post this 15 track split 7". which was released by Nippons NAT rec. as everybody and his granny knows CHARLES BRONSON I guess I don´t have to say much more about them. QUILL hail from Nippon and if you´re a regular visitor of Mr. Batguano´s blog like I am you´ve met them already here and as they are from Nippon you can´t do much wrong if you give them a try! is it Twiggy on the CHARLES BRONSON cover?
I PROMISSED FERNANDO THAT...
...I´d re-up TOXOPLASMA´s and CANAL TERROR´s debut 12" for him before the new rules have been passed but as this 2 records are what you´d call classics and are out of print for years anyway I can keep my promise without "breaking the law". which wouldn´t be so much drama at all as rules are just made to be broken and I´m pretty good in sparing myself from punishment. both have been originally released on AGGRESSIVE ROCKPRODUKTIONEN a.k.a. AGR in the 80ies when AGR was one of Germany´s best PUNK labels. later K. Walterbach, the guy 
behind the label, decided that he could make more money with HEAVY METAL and stopped releasing PUNK records (he released important bands like HELLOWEEN instead!). in the end of the 90ies there was a limited re-release of CANAL TERROR´s ZU SPÄT 12" on a small German label (sorry can´t remeber the name of the label at the moment. I think it was BARBAREN MUSI but I not 100% sure) with one extra track that might be added somewhen here!TOXOPLASMA: http://www.mediafire.com/?xzjdyyezytb

WE GOT SOME NEW RULES HERE!
1) the next e-mail with music that doesn´t fit in with what is normally posted here or is accompanied by promotion bullshit like LONG DESERT COWBOY gets deleted without being mentioned here!2) as I thought a lot about what Ken / PRANK rec. wrote here I decided that from now on I will just upload stuff that´s old and out of print or stuff where I got the bands / labels permission to do so! cause of this
3) dead links from old post won´t be re-upped anymore if they don´t fit above mentioned criteria! you don´t need to ask there will be no exceptions!
4) if you send me a link to post on my blog you´ll have to tell me why I can post it without violating this new rules(e.g. you play in that band, released it on your label,...) if it´s not old and out of print!
ONCE IN A BLABLABLA....

an e-mail and wrote:hello. my name is Daniel Catarino, and I released an album through the internet, I was wondering if you could put the link in your blog. thank very much. all the Best Daniel
and then came this:
Once in a while, there is an album with such rawness that it becomes almost irresistible. This doesn't happen often, but it's certainly what can be found in this "Handmade Music 1999-2003" EP, by Daniel Catarino, in this case under the alias Long Desert Cowboy.From the raw tape recordings of the opening and closing titles, to the aesthetical beauty of "Sacred Vows of Mother Earth" and the melodic growth of "Poor But Honest", this album, recorded, according to the author, from the age of 16 to his 20th birthday, is not a work of perfection, but it shows an immense creativity and a desire to turn simple melodies into instrumental songs.Those who are familiar with Long Desert Cowboy's previous works, will certainly notice obvious differences when compared to the "horror-spaghetti" ambience of the debut EP's "Sandshoes" and "Western Spaghetti", since it's more of a rock record than a ambient/field recording exercise. Nonetheless, some of the present characteristics are there, and it cannot be an act of randomness.It is important that you don't let this album slip through your fingers without listening to it. Carlos Gonçalves
myspace / the website
to be honest I don´t know why I got this? I don´t see the connection between my blog and this. ok, maybe this is underground and/or independent and self-released but in these days there is many music that is released in a d.i.y. way but most of that stuff isn´t accompanied by promotion shit like: once in a while, there is an album with such rawness blablabla... (and b.t.w. I can´t hear any rawness at all here!) to be honest I didn´t listen to much more then what is on the myspace page but as I hate any instrumental music that´s not classic I wouldn´t be into this no matter how they sound anyway! but even if it wouldn´t be instrumental I ´d still think that this is boring and the promoshit makes it loose the last bit of sympathy! if anybody is really interested send me an e-mail and I´ll send you the download link I got.
