Transgressor [JPN] - Recollected Limbs [2001]

The price country folks [i.e.: me] have to pay to gain internets access... Dial-up speed is 24k [the telephones wires are 1930's vintage] so I ended up with a big cellphone in my window, bourgeois yuppies with that thing in their ear [a jawtooth?] making them look like borgs call it a wireless modem.

Somehow, I'm reminded of the .hack//sign anime I used to watch a few years ago, back when I was fond of television, even though watching that show stirred an odd feeling of perdition in me... Seeing the cephalochromoscope page for the first time in a dozen of days was nevertheless a soothing experience.

Now that I may develop undiscovered kinds of cancers at any given time [probably in my sleep], I might as well start posting some good shit, just be warned that I'm now predisposed to look down on people who talk about television shows and have private plumbing. Adapt or die trying to grow a gaelic beard, I mean garlic bread.

If you guys wondered what I did of my life while internetless, well, I had to venture into the biggest open air shopping strip mall this shore of the island and survived to tale about it, I caught [saw] the release of the eagle staff and had a 7$ veggi indian taco at the 19th annual Kahnawake pow wow and finally I got my finger bit by a stallion without him ripping my whole hand off, how awesome is that?

The disc down here is also awesome and slick a design, you'll have to take my word for it, I can't scan the unprint parts of CDs... Maybe I should talk about the music too... The problem with Japan is that it's too small, our kitchen knifes could use more quality and be sure to check out that bluesy bass break on "Forsaken Souls" clocking in at 2:25, seen?

Lightning Bolt & Forcefield (USA) - Split 7" (1997)

In all honesty, I always knew that my dreams were pretty damn awesome (that one with Forest Whitaker boring through the apartment wall with a shotgun I nominate for the best dream ever. Yes, I'm not joking. I actually dreamed that exact thing.), often involving barren, dystopian landscapes, or dark damp narrow labyrinthine steam pipe streets overabundant with killer androids just falling from the skies and all that cyberpunk jazz straight out of Blade Runner. But I dare you to listen to last night's masterpiece. Just listen.

So I was at this large relatively dilapidating punk-as-fuck building for the most part used as a warehouse, merely hanging out with some other persons. At one point we noticed a pair of brutish cops closing in to our chosen area of hangout with that classic swagger of theirs. Our good moods naturally ruffled, taking into careful consideration various factors such as - most importantly and quite simply put - being in the near-proximity of the local harbor's neutral border zone in the wrong hours. We decided to momentarily split with the promise of reuniting shortly after the cowboys' otherworldly disinterest in stuff-in-general makes them vanish too. In a hurry, some girl fiddled around her purse, whereupon she took out a silver cigarette case, all clean and shiny and all-around neat-looking. Then, she opened the pretty thing, and I was handed a joint. Thing is, I'm not even too big on the respective plant in question, but this was just - in lack of better words - special. We all walked away, myself into some empty streets in the back. Without a care in the world I lit the joint and sucked like an expensive vacuum cleaner. The long thin thing then, I kid you not, inflated to absolutely monstrous proportions. It was fucking huge. It was like twenty cubans transmuted into a green supercigar. And let me tell you, I mean, as far as I can trust my dreams, it was totally ★awesome★. Shortly thereafter, lollipop still in hand, I reached a garage where I heard a particularly loud band rehearsal, and I thought, "Hey, that's Lightning Bolt!"

"Lightning Bolt VS Carl Winslow."

So there. Music heard in dreams better be worth posting, I say. This is an out of print 7" split released in 1997 on Load Records. Both bands formed by Knights of the Ungeometrically Shaped Table at Fort Thunder, Providence, Rhode Island. They toured together and stuff. The Repopulation Program comp aside, this is the first Lightning Bolt release ever.

Rainbows are wonderful, indeed. (Mediafire)

BLACK

RAIN...


FALLS (Mediafire)

Something's majorly fucked up in Wisconsin 'cause Dusk is the best thing since diSEMBOWELMENT. I mean, if you don't gaze out the window in terror when you hear "BLACK. RAIN. FAAALLS," you're just inhuman, man, a fucking psychopath who should be removed from society. Dusk is very much essential death-doom, and this release, collecting most of their shit sans the split with Aphotic, features some of the heaviest death metal ever put to a non-Hellchild album. Music to drown to.

...Of Death-demo (TEXAS)

Well, the cool thing about this post is that this CD has no cover. So I ain't gotta scan sheeeeeeeit, bitches! In fact it was a cd-r, with the band name written in magic marker, handed to me at a show probably 9 years ago. Im thinking they didn't make very many of these demo's, I don't know.

...Of Death were a grindcore band from the DFW region if I remember but maybe it was Denton. Anyway good luck finding info about these dudes. I don't know if they put out anything, but I'm thinking there is a 7 inch out there. If you know then please post the info. EDIT- well, since i gave it a listen and on their "jam session" track they shout out rep's to "funkytown" aka Ft.Worth so I guess that settles that little mystery. I originally hail from Ft.Worth, in fact I was born in Haltom aka the land time forgot or aka the shittiest place on the face of the Earth. Then again, I never have to go there ever ever again, since all my family is dead. AWESOME!

About the vocals......yes, that singer was indeed a male. I can verify that by the fact I saw his penis. In fact I've seen all the bands peni. So did everyone else. See, these dudes liked to play their grindcore "au naturel" aka "buck fucking naked". I remember seeing them play with Page 99 (pg99) here in austin on a rooftop way back when, which was a bad ass show and both bands tore it up. PCP roadblock form Richmond Va played too if i remember right, but maybe that was a different show. I don't recall, well.. this was "back in the day" and by "back in the day" I mean I was drinking whiskey and doing cocaine, anything less would be uncivilized, so you have to excuse me. Maybe you can refresh my memory?

Ok, about the band, if you like Discordance Axis, Melt Bananna or the high pitch guy in No Less you'll love this band. The singer pretty much sounds as high pitched as any male can possibly be... at pretty much all times. Its like a small child being uh whats it like...hmmm.. I don't know, something that is painful. Maybe a child getting his nutts smashed in a vice or hit with a hammer. Something like that. Musically it sounds like grindcore. You know, sometimes its slow and heavy, and sometimes it blasts non-stop and has lots of riffs. Throw in a few 90's style mid-tempo hardcore parts and you got yourself a demo! If you like 90's style grind and power-violence then you'll like this.

Also by "grindcore" I'm referring to grindcore as the musical style played by punk rockers and hardcore kids, not the style played by guys that look like they just walked out of hot-topic or a video shoot for the shittiest band in the world.

Nat King Cole (USA) - The World of Nat King Cole (2007)

Nat King Cole is sweet. That's all I'm saying. I get my kicks from antique jazz love songs and life's good. Note that this is not the 2005 Capitol Records 28 track CD release, but the 2007 Horizon Records 40-tracks-on-two-CDs one.

9 Shocks Terror- Zen and The art of Beating Your Ass (both versions)

What's up citizens of Earth, ok well I decided to scan the covers for this cd. This might not be for everyone, but if you like it you'll love it. 9shocks are members of h-100's and also Gordon Solie Motherfuckers among other bands. Now, if you know those names you know those bands "fame" was built around their insane live shows where shit gets blown up and destroyed. 9shocks is no different, but they still put out some good records. This one is my favorite. To put it simply 9shocks plays what is colloquially refered to as "raging fucking hardcore".

Now, the reason I say "both versions" is because the cd, which is on Havoc records, is totally remastered and also contains Mobile Terror Unit" 7" (1999), the split 7" with the Killers (1999), the split 7" with Devoid of Faith (1997), the "Earth Wind and the Sheik Throwing Fire" 7" (1997), and various compilation tracks. I like the og LP version better since its way more raw, so i included the rip from the original vinyl version too. Now because im too cheap to "go pro" you get to download two, yes folk you heard me right, thats TWO for the price of ONE!


All the CD booklet scans are included in the file.

Choice cuts are "Not a Fucking Anthem", "Attack with a Gasmask" and "Razorwire".

HERE IS REMASTER
HERE IS OG VINYL VERSION

Anaal Nathrakh (UK)- In The Constellation Of The Black Widow (2009)

ok, well this is my first post so i figured i'd start off with something mellow to get my feet wet. my style of posting involves not spellchecking and not looking back, fuck it.

This is the new album by blackmetal grinders Anaal Nathrakh. This release is on Candlelight, so not quite "major label" I guess but pretty big for metal. On the plus side this album seems to get back to the more outright insanity of their early releases with a definite black metal feel to it. On the negative, to me it sounds like all the "brutality" of the high pitched and screaming is now courtesy of a distortion effect. Maybe it was always that way, but with the "improved production values" you can really tell the vocals have the gain level pumped to 11. Whatever. Also the symbols sounds high pitched and tinny if you focus on them, but not as bad as the last album. The guitars sound fucking killer, perfect recording. Im pretty jealous of that fact, my guitars usually sound like garbage when i record. Then again, I don't know what I'm doing so i just turn all the knobs up as far as they go and call it a day.

I'm gonna say the songs that are good are some of the better songs they have done in a while. The last album had some fucking bangin tracks but some crap ones too, I found myself only listening to the same tracks over and over again. This release is solid all the way through. "Satanarchist" is a pretty horrible song name though, its just embarrassing to even admit to listening to a song called "Satanarchist" even though its pretty ripping in an old-school black metal way. "I worship Satan and I'm also an anarchist! TOTALLY BAD ASS!" I guess its better than being called "Tanarchist" and being about going to the beach without sunscreen.

For the standard "support the artists" portion of this post: this album is available on limited edition vinyl with a gatefold cover, similar to the last release. I'd say you should pick that up, I got the last one and its awesome. They UPS it or whatever from the UK pretty cheap. They got killer t-shirts too and you can be pretty sure you'll be the only kid on your block wearing one. I got mine! what about you, poser?

I guess black metal isn't exactly known for innovations in music, but Anaal Nathrakh definitely have their own style. This shit is pretty catchy while staying "brutal" or whatever the kids like to say. I mean can music really be "brutal", i don't think so, last time i checked its just songs often played by people who take themselves way to seriously for their own good.

Origami Swan (Canada) - Traditional Kaiju Violence (2009)

It has blastbeats and it is noisy and spazzy as fuck. Noisecore is noisecore, but sometimes I think "well this is heavy metal". And it comes from Canada. No old school here, actually. Modern, somewhat electronic ways of experimental love thrash. And it's not really heavy metal, I just said that because there are some bangin' riffs. That said, no one will be headbanging to Origami Swan anytime soon. At best, you can lie on the floor and randomly twitch and convulse like a squid.

the Dreadful Eardrum Assault [CAN] - Real Grime Stories EP+ [Unreleased]

Sometimes things are just meant to happen, I don't get to be in a band much, so when I do it means a whole lot. I'm grateful to have stumbled onto this blog, band mates are a precious and rare occurrence. Now I'm going out there to be a man for once, it was nice meeting you.

And thank you, Karlo.

So, this is the birthday gift I'm giving myself [I share Bernard Herrmann's birthday, remember? Someone remind someone else to re-upload the files for the Psycho score]...

I discovered grime a few days after I came up with the album title, funny, huh? I hope anyone will like this as much as I do... this recording almost got released by Acidsoxx Musicks, almost, shit happens is how I called my first demo. Things were meant to be posted here instead I suppose, we have more than aces up our sleeves.

APOC is Justin, EL MOS is 3l 3os is Matsui and Rod still lives in our hearts.

Waves [JPN] & Hellbound [CAN] - Split CD [2002]

I lied when I said the only quebecian stuff I had was Dahmer, I also have this and I have some Global Holocaust too, a bunch of the records I own I bought from their drummer's distro, too bad his site is long time dead, I would've got more things to, post.

On another note, our friend Justin joined our posse, he accounts for 49% of Quebexas population, we met years ago on some old guy's punk Hotline server sharing japanese hardcore and making drum'n'bass, true internet love story. I'm moving away on a ranch in the country with dial-up with half my record collection so it'll take me a week to upload and compose a post, he'll stuff the staff while I find a new hobby.
