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. -
While undeniably melodic crust at it’s core, Burden of Beast, the first LP from San Diego based hardcore outfit, AGE OF COLLAPSE, traverses a very thin genre line occasionally teetering into the realms of related punk, metal, doom and more. Harsh vocals backed by crushing distortion give way to atmospheric, reverb laden interludes, which personify the bands complex, almost schizophrenic songwriting. Contempt for humanity and it’s deconstruction of the natural world gives life to a tragic landscape that plays out as the main theme of this powerful and inventive record. Recorded at Big Fish Studios by Dan Maier and mastered at Mammoth Sound by Dan Randall. -
The sophomore album by San Diego’s AGE OF COLLAPSE, Transmissions, wanders down a much darker path than their debut LP, Burden of Beast. The harshest human emotions are filtered through the cold indifference of machinery. Themes of misinformation, paranoia, disconnection, blurred realities, and by-products of technological progress are manifested in frantic tempo changes and a veritable wall of distortion. Weaving between blazingly fast metallic hardcore punk, and slow and dreary clean-channel post-hardcore passages, Transmissions is an unrelenting treatise against the confines of the digital age; an apocalyptic and bleak look at a looming future. Beautifully packaged with illustrations by Amanda Kazemi. Recorded at Rarefield Studios by Dan Maier and mastered at Mammoth Sound by Dan Randall. Limited marble rust vinyl limited to 100 copies, standard pressing on black vinyl. Comes with lyric insert and mp3 download card. -

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. -
Bremerton, WA’s premier crust machine Blight delivers 5 tracks of crushing metallic crust on this release. Reminscient of Disrupt, Bolt Thrower, etc. Members later went on to form SANCTUM and DETONIZE. Includes lyric insert. Split label release with Barrage of Salt Records. -
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. -

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.

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. -
Melbourne, Australia’s EXTINCTEXIST comes out of the gates with their first full-length LP, Cursed Earth, which we co-produced with longtime friends RUIN NATION RECORDS from Bremen, Germany. Cursed Earth, features six tracks of pummeling, unrelenting and heavy political hardcore punk. With members of PISSCHRIST, NUCLEAR DEATH TERROR, SCHIFOSI, and ABC WEAPONS, this project is certainly aligned with the punk/d-beat offerings of their former bands, yet with a refined metallic edge and extended song lengths that give way to moody intros and dirge-ridden passages. Lyrically the album deals with the conflict between the developed and natural worlds, in the context of a bleak, unpromising future. Recorded by Jason Fuller at Goatsound in Victoria, Australia, mixed by Heng Shen Yeap, mastered by Jack Control at Enormous Door in Austin, TX., and artwork by Santiago Mazatl. Includes a beautiful full-sized lyric booklet, black vinyl, jacket, and mp3 download codes. -
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). -
We are pleased to announce our 30th release; INSIDIOUS PROCESS – s/t LP. Those of you who enjoyed the raging split 12″ we helped put out with them and AVFART 33 will be stoked on their debut full-length released in conjunction with Not Enough Records (SWE). 10 ripping tracks of metallic crust with ferocious rasping vocals from Göteborg, surrounded by an immensely heavy recording by Mattias in Studio Bengt, Hemgården, Sweden. The European version will be on black vinyl and only available through Not Enough. The US version will be 250 copies on opaque brown/silver/white splatter vinyl. 50 US copies will be a limited edition with alternate screened covers as well. Comes with mp3 download card. -
"L'Algebra Morente Del Cielo" or "The Dying Algebra of the Sky," is the sixth full-length release from KALASHNIKOV COLLECTIVE, a 7- sometimes 8-piece romantic punk group from Milano, Italy. Defying easy classification, Kalashnikov embraces a myriad of musical and cultural influences; imagine an 80s crossover punk band doing the tango to synthesizers, and you're somewhat close. Wave, ska, metal, thrash, anarchopunk, traditional and classical interludes weave in and out at a breakneck pace, and somehow make perfect sense in the world of K! Collective. It is a lyrical protest against an impending dystopian future, and if the revolution were to throw a dance party, this would be the soundtrack. -
6 songs of raw energy by San Diego based d-beat rockers, KARBÖNITE Limited to 300 copies on blue/purple marble vinyl -
This is the demo cassette from KRIMINAL, a brand new hardcore punk outfit based in Berlin, Germany. Very much in the 80s Scandinavian style of d-beat punk, KRIMINAL features ex- and current members of INSTINCT OF SURVIVAL, COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDDON, NOCTURNAL SCUM, GUIDED CRADLE, and RANDOM BLACKOUTS, although musically this is more straightforward hardcore than the metal/crust-leaning output of their related bands. Lyrically this is a diverse mix of dystopian fiction and personal politics, nested within a wall of distorted rock n’ roll riffs and pummeling drums. Pressed with metallic silver plastic shells, comes with lyric insert and shrinkwrapped in Norelco cases. Recorded by sgt. g at Kriminal HQ in Berlin, mastered by Daniel Husayn at North London Bomb Factory in April of 2016. Artwork by Muro. -

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. -
Aborted Society is proud to present the debut LP from Portland’s MURDERESS. Dark, brooding metallic d-beat crust punk with spine-tingling screaming vocals, this is an up and coming female-fronted group that falls somewhere in between the 80’s metallic punk style of groups like SACRILEGE (UK) and melody-driven crust akin to ZERO HOUR. This release comes with a poster/lyric insert, black paper inner sleeves, a nice matte-finish jacket, and a free download card of the record for MP3 players. -
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.
