With “Clandestine Abuse” the band’s intensity is captured on record, at long last. Since adding two additional members to the lineup, (the band started as guitar/drum duo) Northless has expanded on their original style of atmospheric sludgy metal and gone beyond the barrier that holds lesser bands back. This progression enabled Northless to break through into new territory and write truly exceptional songs, more focused, more dense. “Clandestine Abuse” might be one of the most misanthropic, angst-filled albums I’ve ever heard, but it never fails to instill a feeling of hope in the listener. A hope that a band can draw upon familiar influences and personal experiences, draw on them and combine them to create something that breaks the mold of slow & heavy music. Super heavy stuff, for fans of Neurosis, Eyehategod, etc! -

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. -
Hailing from Warsaw, and picking up where Post Regiment threw the towel - no personal links apart from being friends, but if you listen to their music you hear the same passion and energy that Post Regiment built their songs on. Powerful, melodic punk with a female singer, but way more aggressive than the beforementioned. Old Armia stuff would be a good reference as well - and if you put the namedropping aside this is aproof of ongoing good tradition of polish HC-punk over the last decades! -
CRUST-HARDCORE. "hardcore religion" deliver 12 songs (including a DISARM cover). There's been a long tradition of good, yet obscure bands in Malaysia.

10 years after their first full lenght "Pink Pollution" (which was followed by 4 further CDs & EPs), VICIOUS IRENE from Gothenburg, Sweden, are back with a brand new album! Within all these years of playing and writing songs together, VICIOUS IRENE have managed to create a style of individual Hardcore punk that melts together elements of classic Scandi D-Beat, Jap-Core and nineties Grunge/Punk, forming a stomping and massive beast of Grrrl Punk (all members are female). 10 new tracks that give you an imagination of DISCHARGE meeting up with L7 or BIKINI KILL to discuss gender, feminism and authoritarian politics over a tea or booze bootle (you decide) not forgetting irony and humor... - The recording is a screaming steamroller of sheer and raw heavy noise and pounding drums. Comparsions to other bands probably don't judge VICIOUS IRENE in 2012, as they sound as unique and fresh as no other band I can think of at the moment. -

ifferences and a potential lawsuit over their chosen name, 2009 saw the death of swedens ICOS, a band known for its crushing impassioned resonance. In the years that followed, brothers Erik and Oskar Karlsson and Martin Bengtsson took the spirit of their former band and worked at creating a larger, more ominous and ultimately more considered sound, with their new drummer David Flood. This band would become MONACHUS. capturing an organic timbre that invokes images of these swedes toiling over beloved instruments, their debut album OUT OF THE BLUE draws influence from brooding sludge metal, yet invokes a sense of timeless peace, surging waves of sung and growled voices, raucous walls of guitars and emotive poise. comes in 180 gram vinyl, A4 Poster and heavy cover. -

Ripping metallic d-beat punk/crust from Malmo, Sweden. Really awesome production, artwork and packaging. Totally over the top motorcrust, definitely recommended. 12 tracks on black vinyl from Not Enough Records (Sweden). -
The second album from this band from Slovenia, this first came out on CD and I had heard it was coming out on vinyl so I delayed for around year before I could get my hands on it, well worth the wait gate-fold cover and coloured vinyl, but nevermind that stuff the music itself is fantastic and crustal sound that reminds me a lot of Scotitsh Anarcho/crust bands like Scatha, Sedition and Constant Fear with lyrical subjects dealing with Animal Liberation, Homophobia and other sorts of topics along the same lines. Anaeroba have a great sound that is kinda of 10 years behind the sound of crust today which seems to be all the slowed down epic build ups and this is great as it is playing stuff that we love but it is only played by bands that seem not to exist anymore. Real kinda filthy Crust that seems to take the best parts of the best bands and mash it into their sound. Artwork done by Stiv. Tis great stuff and well worth checking out. (Alex Distro-y, review on D-Beat Beater) -
PEACE OR ANNIHILATION - Fear Control LP DISCHARGE / DISCLOSE worship band from Jakarta. Getting better and better. If you enjoyed the songs on the No Tomorrow comp, this is close. 12 songs, all killer. Pure raw distorted Punk Hardcore. Daniel Sorry State recs : “Debut vinyl LP from this raging Indonesian crust band. Obviously inspired by Discharge and Disclose, this is some bruising, punishing d-beat with metal tinges. The rhythms remind me more than a little bit of Sacrilege, but the music is much more straightforward and direct than that band's metal-inspired sound. Still, there's a lot going on here... great riffs, bruising rhythms and absolutely feral vocals that are right up there with Disclose themselves. Definitely one of the better noisy crust releases I've heard in a while... if you're spinning records by old bands like Anti-Cimex or modern ones like Bloodkrow Butcher and Beesthoven, then this one's for you. “ -
One of the longest running and dedicated Polish punk bands finally gets full length release. Raw and raging punk core with great guitar melodies, angry screaming vocals and a bit scandinavian influence. -

Now open your eyes and what you have is Masakari, a crust punk band from Cleveland, Ohio. The LP comes as a 180 gram pressing, with a A2 poster and a awesome 350 gram heavy gatefold cover!!!
