CUT THROAT(S)!

as the fucking cunt that calls herself a doctor told me my girlfriend will be able to leave hospital tomorrow my mood's a little better today - so back to posting: MINDLESS MUTANT is a band I don't know that much about! I just bought their 7" cause it was released on 625 THRASH which normally means it's music that's right up my alley which is especially true for MINDLESS MUTANT. if I'm not mistaken then it's members of SPAZZ and LOOK BACK AND LAUGH showing you the fine art of badassness here! if that's true I'd say although LOOK BACK AND LAUGH is a great band in it's own right the members should invest more time in their side-projects cause it happens that those are brilliant bands that rip shit up! if you don't believe me listen to this little gem or get yourself ripped a new asshole by CALIFORNIA LOVE! fuck, I'd have nearly forgotten to tell you that they score extra points for the "Thug Life" artwork on the inner sleeve!

TOLEDO / OH / 08/09/2008

NIGHTBRINGER convinced me to be one of the best bands around right now even tough I hate nearly everyone & everything at the moment!

IF YOU THINK LIFE SUCKS...

...this is a soundtrack that fits your mood! for reasons that won't be discussed here I'm in the Life sucks! mood at the moment and as usual that means GEHENNA's 1st 12" and HAMMERHEAD's 1st 12" are on heavy rotation here which translates to I don't really listen to anything else more or less but among the (few) exceptions are SOUL SWALLOWER's 3 track demo from 2005 and their 7" which was released on COLLAPSE REC. also in 2005 cause SOUL SWALLOWER's dirty, brutal, ugly and spiteful music sounds like it was especially made to be listened to if in such a mood! not even the, on the demo included, cover of YOUTH OF TODAY's EXPECTATIONS takes away only a little bit of SOUL SWALLOWER's harshness! as I found the demo somewhere in the depths of the web there's no artwork as I don't have that (hint! hint!)!

DEHUMANIZATION

I posted FINAL DRAFT's 7" just a few days ago but as I had ripped their split with APATHETIC RONALD McDONALD (or A.R.M. in short) too I thought I should just follow up with it! you'll get 7 tracks from A.R.M. and 4 tracks from FINAL DRAFT and as both bands should be no strangers to you I'll leave it like that! oh, one thing I'd like to add is that I also think that FINAL DRAFT's 7" is better than their stuff here! click the cover!

HELL, AT LAST

I finally got my hands on a copy of LEGION's HELL AT LAST 7"! after this 7" was released LEGION changed/expanded their name to LEGION DCLXVI or LEGION 666 in short as there were some other bands that also called themselves LEGION. well, like the only band called GEHENNA that matters is from San Diego/U.S. the only band called LEGION that matters is from Toronto/Ca.! period! this is their 1st 7" released by UGLY POP in 1999 and their trademark, merging HARDCORE and BLACK METAL into a unique sound, can already be heard on this 7". of course here it's far from what they did on their brilliant last full-length but it's also far from being bad! actually it's really good especially when you consider the fact that this was their 1st 7"! another plus would be their radical anti-christian stance and the nice labels so don't hesitate and click the cover to download!

ANOTHER EXCEPTION

to the rule of thumb that compilation 7"es have to suck would be the PROTOTYPE comp. on CLEAN PLATE which features DISDAIN, DEFAULT, APT. 213, ULCER, UNSETTLED & LACERATION, ok, DEFAULT aren't my cup of coffee but the rest of the bands, especially the mighty ULCER, rip shit up! click the cover to download!

THE CITY OF CHAMPIONS

a.k.a. Inglewood the home of DESPISE YOU and also the home of FINAL DRAFT which play an amazing brand of GRINDCORE and left me with a dropped jaw after I had played this 7" for the 1st time! the 3 vatos rush trough the 9 tracks, that include a cover of , you guessed it DESPISE YOU and some cool HIP HOP interludes (what else if you're from Inglewood?), like there's no tomorrow. this 7" is another future classic released by 625 THRASH! click on the cover to download!

IN THE NAME OF STUPIDITY

I've posted NO COMMENT's masterpiece, the DOWNSIDED 7", some time ago in spite of the fact that you can download their discography on nearly every 2nd blog cause I think the 7" has a better sound and hits a lot harder than the discography 12". this 7" doesn't have a better sound (if I'm not mistaken) but it has a track that was excluded from the discography (which most people don't seem to realize)! as the song SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES has pro-capitol punishment lyrics and the singer later realized how stupid that is the song was not included on the discography. which is a shame as an explanation that the lyrics are stupid and that they aware of the fact but included the track to show that one can progress wouldn't leave the foul taste of taking the easy way out, music-wise the track is classic NO COMMENT - 1st generation POWER VIOLENCE that takes no prisoners as are the other tracks on this 7" (that was released by NO COMMENT themselves in 1989 I think). and while COMMON SENSELESS is not as hard hitting as DOWNSIDED it still wipes the floor with most other records!

IHR SOLLT IN TRÄNEN ERSAUFEN! (the 2nd)

I've re-upped GOGATHA's ICH WEISS NICHT OB ICH WEINEN ODER KOTZEN SOLL 7" and included the track from the PLOT comp. as bonus! b.t.w. it's a new rip and this time ripped with 320 kbits! click the cover!

SILENT DECAY

as I thought it might be about time for some IRON LUNG once again you can download their split 7" with AGENTS OF ABHORRENCE which was released by Australia's MISSING LINK, is named SILENT DECAY and delivers you 5 new sick ragers from IRON LUNG and another 4 tracks from AGENTS OF ABHORRENCE. in my opinion IRON LUNG take the cake here cause AGENTS OF ABHORRENCE have the same problems here as they've had on their split with EXTORTION again: they've to battle against a band that is way ahead of them. they fought tooth and claw on that split 7"and here they do the same but in my ears they are no match for IRON LUNG as IRON LUNG are one of the sickest bands around now period! which is no wonder as one of them plays also in GEHENNA (which will release some new stuff soon b.t.w.) and GEHENNA just can't be beat! can't! came on grey vinyl!

L A G G I N G !

I know I'm lagging once again. an ill girlfriend and a stack of 19 12"es and 20 - 25 7"es that are (still) waiting for me and Chabo to finally give them a spin have kept me from blogging and continue doing so! in the meantime enjoy the re-ups!

edit: if you click on the pic above you can download my (very incomplete) trade & wantlist!

b.t.w. I strongly recommend that you buy the SHANK / THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE split 7" as long as you still got the chance cause it's brilliant! both bands doing a coversong (JUDGE & CITIZENS ARREST). there were just 300 made and word on the street is it won't be reissued ever again! the 1st 100 copies had a 2nd cover and some more gimmicks I think but as SCHIZOPHRENIC's spamfilter hates me I was to late for one of those but as I at least got the normal version I'll survive that!

WHEN TIGERS FIGHT (the 2nd)

I've re-upped the ALONE IN A CROWD 7" and included the tracks that were on the CD re-issue cause I found them on the web! click the cover!

AGORAPHOBIC INSECT

I've already written something about the ANb / INSECT WARFARE split 5" in an earlier post so I'll keep this one here short. I hadn't up-loaded/posted the music before cause you could still get the 5" then. but as it's sold out now and the guys from BROWNBROWN asked for a rip and as I had a rip I made for a friend anyway I decided to put it here too. you can get the tracks by clicking on the last pic!

STAY HOME KILL YOURSELF AND MAKE EVERYONE ELSE HAPPIER

as it seems that a lot of visitors liked my DOPPELGÄNGER and PUNCH posts I thought I should continue with ROSENBOMBS as I think they share members with the before mentioned (in case of DOPPELGÄNGER I'm sure). they've split up already and just left 2 demos and this ass-kicking 11 song 7" released by 625 THRASH. ROSENBOMBS are fast & furious and blast through their 11 tracks, that have titles like "STAY HOME, KILL YOURSELF AND MAKE EVERYONE ELSE HAPPIER" at break-neck speed! what more can you ask for?

ALL BUILT ON HATE

another piece of British brutality: the STALINGRAD / UNDER CLASS split 7". 3 tracks from STALINGRAD that were originally recorded for their 1994 demotape and 4 tracks from UNDER CLASS. it's kinda hard to share a split with STALINGRAD as your band will always be recognized as the weaker band (even the mighty VOORHEES suffered that fate) compared to the unbelievable brutality STALINGRAD's music displays. even though being in a no-win-situation UNDER CLASS, which come across way faster than their opponents, show that they've heart and fight tooth and claw to escape their fate but in the end they fail and STALINGRAD remain undefeated!

YOUR LAST RITES

the YOUR LAST RITES 7 track 7" released by DEADALIVE in 2002 is my favorite THE RITES release. in case you don't know: THE RITES is the brilliant band that features TEAR IT UP's drummer on vocals and knows how to kick some serious ass! fast, angry and dead aggressive HARDCORE that takes absolutely no fucking prisoners!

HOSTILE FUCKING UP!

HOSTILE TAKEOVER is another band I don't know shit about! all I know is that this 8 track 7" on 625 THRASH fucking slays! period! can a band that has a song called "MY LIMP WRIST HOODIE GOT ME BEAT UP" be bad anyway?

UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY (the 2nd)

Slobo asked me to re-up this one! as the 1st upload was ripped with only 128 kbits and also not tagged properly I re-ripped HARDCORE UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY with 320 kbits and tagged it properly!

THIS ONE'S FOR THE CURCH OF ZER

in my youth SPERMBIRDS have been one of my favorite bands but when their original singer, an American guy called Lee Hollis left to concentrate on his other band STEAKNIFE I lost my interest in SPERMBIRDS music.this one-sided 2 track 7" came with a German zine called Zap and delivers a cover of 12XU and a song of their own. I haven't played this 7" for many years and when I played it today I found it boring... decide for yourself by clicking the pic above!
