NIHILISM NOT IDEALISM

let me start this with mentioning that most RUPTURE stuff doesn't do much for me. I actually think that their newer stuff is pretty weak to be honest and doesn't do anything for me but most of their older material doesn't do much more for me neither with a few exceptions including the 7 songs on this split 7" here. thinking about it as one of the tracks is NIHILISM NOT IDEALISM this split 7" even has one of my fave RUPTURE songs on it. anyway, the real reason you should give it a try is called SLAVESTATE! SLAVESTATE were a short-lived POWER VIOLENCE band from NY (which later changed their name to PNEUMATIC VALUES and then to AVULSION) that really smoked! they only did a demo, this split and another split 7" with LACK OF INTEREST plus some comp. tracks before they changed their name. they continued releasing records under the new names but nothing they released later could hold a candle to the SLAVESTATE material - sad but true! click the cover to download. password = mean

OLD CUNTS NEED A KICK

after years of trying to hunt down a copy of this I finally scored a copy of DROPDEAD's split 8" with RUPTURE! as you can see my copy is on black vinyl but there's a pressing on multi-col. vinyl too (sell me one!). actually as far as record collecting is concerned the last month was one of the most successful in my whole career and I was able to get a lot of records I was desperately hunting for ages - something you'll recognize in my postings here even though I admit a lot is nerdy shit like a 2nd press copy of CITIZENS ARREST's COLOSSUS 12" on red vinyl. but back to the 8" here: 14 DROPDEAD songs and 10 RUPTURE songs is what you get. the DROPDEAD tracks all appear on their discography 11" (or 12" depending on which pressing you got) and you should therefore be familiar with them. as I never cared for the Aussies I can't tell you much about them but music-wise these songs are from their most interesting period when they were fast and still could kick some ass before they became the lame and sad joke they are now. click on either cover to d/l and check for yourself!

SHIT FOR BRAINS

MOSH EISLEY's Rob wrote this about the EXTORTION / RUPTURE split 5" some time ago: "...Up next is the brand new split 5" of everybodys darlings from Australia EXTORTION and once famous RUPTURE. What a promising team up you might think! Well... Okay the EXTORTION side serves what you expect. Very pissed in your face blasts. Highspeed powerviolence like on their previous records. A very short attack which is over shortly after it started. 3 songs, 3 minutes. But I have to say that EXTORTION did better before. These 3 songs don´t have what their other records had. Theses 3 songs sound like outtakes to me. Definitely not as good as their older stuff. Oh well, the RUPTURE side of this split 5": I don´t have to tell you how good their 1st 7" and their 10" are. Legendary stuff! But what is this? Strange, annoying, boring punk rock. There is just one good aspect on this side of the record: Just one short song. I can´t stand it!! Decide for your self if you need a very short record because of a good band that has done better before and a legendary band that embarrasses themselves? Maybe I´m going to upload this 5" however, so that you don´t have to buy it..." well, as I got a weak spot for 5"es I bought it anyway and while I agree with Rob I think he has left out the most important point! RUPTURE are stupid enough to think that there is someone, somewhere who is provoked cause their song is called VEGETABLE CUNT FUCK and not just bored as fuck... now EXTORTION's 3 tracks are called SHIT FOR BRAINS, FUCKED IN THE HEAD and PATHETIC and quotes from the lyrics would be: "I can't believe I put up with you, just so I don't appear so rude, you're so boring you drive me insane, it's plain to see you got shit for brain" or "you're fucking disgusting, worth less than nothing, and after all you said, fucked in the head" and now if you think about it, it seems pretty obvious that EXTORTION are talking about RUPTURE in their songs! pathetic idiots with shit for brains... the description fits RUPTURE perfect! of course I can't proof that but as you can't proof me wrong I'll stick to that opinion! click the hate ape to download!
