A collection of early material from NÜ-KLĒ-ƏR BLAST SUNTAN; this is the 8″ lathe and demo cassette tracks remastered and set to 12″ vinyl. These recordings were only released in very limited form (50 copies of the 8″ lathe and 100 copies of the cassette), so we are excited to unearth this archive of essential, raw, noisey, and chaotic punk from Augusta, GA featuring their original singer Katie. Comes with mp3 download card, and lyric sheet/insert. -
This is the second full-length release from COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDDON, a 3-piece based in Seattle, WA whose sound originated in apocalyptic crust and inevitably progressed into more melodic, post-punk territories over the past eight years of their tenure. Thick layers of reverb and chorus-effected darkwave riffs, sometimes reminiscent of early KILLING JOKE or CHRISTIAN DEATH, weave in and out of the lines between punk, hardcore, and d-beat crust, while retaining a unique identity in each of the eight tracks on the album. Lyrically this album addresses the conflict between the artificial and natural worlds, and the struggle to preserve humanity in an increasingly digitized and bleak dystopian future. Recorded at Buzz or Howl Studios by Stan Wright (Arctic Flowers) in Portland, OR, and mastered by Jack Control (WB2D) at Enormous Door Studios in Austin, TX. -
A refreshing mix of melodic punk and hardcore with dual male/female vocals, this is the first release by Seattle area group RATBITE. Super-catchy dueling guitar leads provide a solid backdrop to energetic hardcore, sometimes weaving in and out of slow and surprisingly heavy dirges and breakdowns. Featuring members of Snuggle, Pipsqueak, Lost Cause, Hexane, and Murmurs. Recorded by Brandon Fitzsimons at Airport Grocery and mastered by Chris Hanzsek at Hanzsek Audio. -
Now defunct melodic crust from Seattle, WA. 10 tracks of intense, political hardcore punk with a heavy early 80’s Scandinavian influence. Split release with No Options Records. CD release includes early material including the split 7″ w/ Decrepit as well as previously unreleased material. Members went on to form COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDDON, WORLD FUNERAL, CITY OF DUST, SKITSOFRENIA. -
Aborted Society and Fistolo Records are proud to present the debut EP from Seattle’s folk punk ensemble, Meisce (pronounced Mesh-Kyuh). Elements of Irish folk, gypsy, and eastern European klezmer come together underneath a very strong punk rock influence. Two tracks featuring mandolin, accordion, fiddle, guitars, bass, drums, and vocals on this release. The perfect soundtrack for an evening of drunken debauchery! Recorded by Brandon Fitzsimons at the Audaretum in Seattle and mastered by Chris Hanzsek at Hanzsek Audio. Includes current members of: Wormwood, Inhaste, Countdown to Armageddon, Oakhelm, and Slightly Less Than Nothing. -
4 tracks of unrelenting melodic hardcore from Australia’s Schifosi. Epic, brutal, quintessential hardcore crust with female vocals. Extremely powerful lyrics, artwork, and presentation. Taking right where their LP “Ill Winds from Outopia” left off, this release is darker, heavier, and more melody driven. Includes lyric insert. -
We are excited to announce the release of one of our favorite Seattle groups MURMURS, and their Fly With The Unkindness Cassette, originally released by Stay Punk Tapes in 2012 and repressed by Aborted Society in 2013. Energetic and melodic punk with pop sensibilities and crusty, gruff undertones. While in a similar vein as LEATHERFACE or THE REPLACEMENTS, this Seattle quartet has managed to craft a truly unique sound of their own fully backed by an intense live performance. Recorded by Brandon Fitzsimons at Airport Grocery in Seattle, Mastered by Dave Edwardson. Past and current projects include SNUGGLE, RATBITE, PIPSQUEAK, NO HIGH FIVES TO BULLSHIT, TRANSIENT, THE MAKAI. Initial run of 200 chrome cassettes on smokey shells w/ silver imprint ink, 3-panel J-Card and overwrapped in Norelco cases. -

This split 12″ features five new tracks of blazing anarcho-punk from Portland’s ADELIT@S, who are picking up right where their Llama Viva de la Rabia LP (released on ABSOC in 2012) left off. Energetic, melodic, and tuneful punk with politically charged dual female/male vocals sung in Spanish. Incorporating some of their latin folk influence, these tracks are punchier and more hardcore than earlier efforts. Recorded by Stan Wright at Buzz or Howl Studios in Portland, OR. A progressive six-piece from Seattle, KOHOSH brings three tracks of inventive crust which equally harkens to 80’s peace punk as much as it does to the more melodic side of the 90’s European anarchopunk sound. Dual guitars weave in and out of fast and mid-tempo passages accompanied with cello and harmonized female/male vocals. Recorded by Brandon Fitzsimons at Airport Grocery Studio in Seattle, WA. Both sides were mastered by Dan Randall at Mammoth Sound in Oakland, CA. -
Five years since their s/t 7” on Aborted Society, COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDDON return with their first full-length release, Eater of Worlds. Based in Seattle, WA, CTA took a long hiatus following West Coast and US tours, and returned in 2008 to write new material. Dark, atmospheric crust with heavy post-punk/darkwave undertones, this is an 8-song 45RPM 12” vinyl release with a free download card for MP3 versions. Influences on Eater of Worlds range from TOTALITÄR to KILLING JOKE, while remaining unique and cohesive. Members of current and former projects such as: MEISCE, BOOK OF BLACK EARTH, CITY OF DUST, PHALANX, CLUSTERFUX, THE FACET. Recorded by Stan Wright at Buzz or Howl Studios in Portland, OR. 500 copies on red vinyl. -
Following directly on their heels of their 2007 debut LP, Minneapolis’ BLACKOUT deliver another dose of angst-ridden punk rock’n’roll madness. The music is powerful hardcore punk (read POISON IDEA) with a healthy dose of MOTÖRHEAD style metal. Lyrics are cut-to-the-bone observations about life on the ugly underside of society and are heavily influenced by classic American Blues music. BLACKOUT members have been part of the Profane Existence family for nearly two decades and include members of ASSRASH, PROVOKED, STILLBORN, PHALANX, etc. As with the previous album, this was recorded at the House of Misery studio and the CD version is available from Profane Existence Records. Musically this album is heavier, better produced and orchestrated than their debut. Cover artwork by Yvette. -

Sprawling metallic d-beat crust from this five-piece based in Portland, OR, this is the follow-up EP to their 2010 debut on ABSOC, The Last Thing You Will Ever See…. This 5-piece lineup features vocals by Jozy Kinnaman, guitars by Rachel Nakanishi and Amanda Burghard, Eben Travis on drums and Casey Lynch on bass, and ventures into some darker, more death metal influenced territory while retaining their blackened crust aesthetic. Originally released as a cassette limited to 100 for their East Coast tour last summer, we are stoked to announce a vinyl version of these 4 blazing tracks in production right now. -
This is a crushing debut full-length by FUTURE RUINS, a five-piece metallic crust outfit hailing from various parts of Sweden (Skåne/Göteborg/Stockholm). There are similarities from their previous incarnation of MASSMORD, however along with the name change came a more complex shift in songwriting. The result is an invariably tight hardcore punk/metal hybrid painted across a lyrically dystopian backdrop. This a wall of crash laden d-beat crust and some remarkably dark and melodic breakdowns all moving at a breakneck pace. Recorded and Mastered by Ulf Blomberg at Hobo Studios, this has a very classic Swedish death metal production sound while retaining some essential rawness. A co-operative release with Halvfabrikat (SWE), Social Bomb (DE), and Aborted Society (US). -

This is the second full-length release from COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDDON, a 3-piece based in Seattle, WA whose sound originated in apocalyptic crust and progressed into more melodic, post-punk territories over the past eight years of their tenure. Thick layers of reverb and chorus-effected darkwave riffs, sometimes reminiscent of early KILLING JOKE or AMEBIX, weave in and out of the lines between punk, hardcore, and d-beat crust, while retaining a unique identity in each of the eight tracks on the album. Lyrically this album addresses the conflict between the artificial and natural worlds, and the struggle to preserve humanity in an increasingly digitized and bleak dystopian future. Through a reconnection to nature the path toward destruction can be altered, and thereby escaping the psychological constraints of the modern age. Recorded at Buzz or Howl Studios by Stan Wright (Arctic Flowers) in Portland, OR, and mastered by Jack Control (WB2D) at Enormous Door Studios in Austin, TX. -
