Eyeless - Gloomy Day Tape

Eyeless continue on the road previously taken with their debut mcd all life ends, but this time the result is even more dark and evil. Their hardcore suffers from strong influences black metal and crust, and I think the dark and dirty sound of guitars, together with texts focused on issues such as depression and suicide, completely envelops the listener generating unease and anxiety.

See You In Hell - Utok Tape

Fast, raw, and powerful hardcore band from Brno, Czech Republic. Imagine classic Swedish style d-beat KÕng with the precision execution of DEATHSIDE and GAUZE. They show an amazing amount of restraint in not putting the guitar sound entirely up front and avoiding the whole "wall of sound" approach - meaning more like WORLD BURNS TO DEATH and less TRAGEDY.

Available for RM7ppd

Dead Pigs II

2008-09-02T22:27:00.000-07:00

Sneeeeekk peeeeekk, motherfucker.

"All right, I heard this story about one of you band member wearing a nicely defaced t-shirt of this shitty local metal-core band at a show in Klang. What makes it more interesting is that I also heard that some of that band's associates were also at that show. Is this rumor true? Did your band ever get threaten by this? What make that band so 'special' that one of your band members decided to honor that band in such manner (i.e. defacing the t-shirt)?"

"How did the band ends up with 97 Shiki as band name? Can't you think of any other cooler sounding band names?"

Comadre - The Youth/Burn Your Bones Tape

Off-shoot of hardcore and punk, played fast and chaotic with an abundance of energy, but with a large focus on melody and tunefulness as well. Their influences can perhaps best be shown by the covers the band has performed live, by groups such as Rites of Spring, Refused, Kid Dynamite, and Suicide File.

Daitro - Discography Tape

Amazing melodic screamo hardcore. Switching it up into a slightly harsher tempo, starting off with octaves and dischords flying at you from all directions, slowly working in the melody under a brick wall of noise, then POW the tune hits in, not quite as rhythmic as the other side, but hell my head is nodding like one of those little dogs in the back of peoples cars driving on rough terrain!

M:40 - Historiens Svarta Vingslag Tape

Excellent crust with intelligent and wellwritten lyrics. Really pissed off scratchy vocals along downtuned heavy distorted but fairly well produced guitars from M:40 who do ScandiCRUST again and well, not that bad thus their energy and efforts they put into their songs make them quite interesting.

Petethepiratesquid - Dont Correct Me If I'm Wrong Tape

Great artwork, brilliant record title and the lyrics are great, too. Speaking of personal experiences and ideas in a stream of consciousness technique way mostly they are very direct and totally indirect at the same point of time. And “here’s a pen, here’s some paper, stop complaining, create your own art” is probably some of the best last words on a record ever.

All available for RM7ppd.

Graf Orlock - Destination Time Tape

2008-06-17T22:51:00.000-07:00

"In the hands of less talented musicians, the concept at work on Destination Time could've turned out terribly. Fortunately, Graf Orlock have the talent to back up their outlandish pretention and at the end of the day, the record works with the samples, rather than in spite of them. This record should appeal to fans of power-violence, crust/grind and hardcore with a sense of humor and a serious love of Patrick Swayze."

Sista Sekunden "2006" Tape

2007-11-21T23:18:00.001-08:00

OUT NOW!

If you dig hardcore punk like the mighty Poison Idea, Citizen Arrest or The Descendents, you gotta check this out.

Sista Sekunden is a hardcore punk band from Sweden with members from Intensity, Kontrovers, Skitkids and Satanic Surfers. Melodic hardcore punk, comparable to Citizen Arrest or even the now famous Career Suicide.

Here is a review from Attack! webzine.

Thirteen tracks and not one over two minutes - most of them don't even make it past the one-and-a-half-minute mark. Short songs don't have to mean high intensity - but when it comes to Sista Sekunden it surely does. Ripping fast, rocking and catchy riffs are lined up after each other together with bass lines that follow the same recipe and a hectic drumbeat to back it up. Influences are drawn from fast old school hardcore, much of it from the US of A with only one exception - Sista Sekunden sing in Swedish. That, and the fact that the vocalist(s) probably were born to sing in a band like this, gives this CD an extra gold star from the Attack HQ.
There are tempo changes, lots of intelligent songwriting that makes it sound exactly the same all the way through while each track still is very different and has its own little extras, and the wise choice of using a lot of backup shouting just makes it even more solid. I love this CD!
The keywords here are tempo, energy, and fucking great! I don't know what more to write really. I wish I could have uploaded a video of me thrashing away to this disc as that would have been a great review! Or maybe not. Just get the damn thing will you?

And yes, as a marketing strategy, here's another review from Its A Trap webpage.

The cover of "I am not a punk", translated into Swedish ("Jag är inte punk"), by Descendents sums it up pretty damn good. Besides the obvious; the fact that this four piece punk-rock combo from Malmö, Sweden has developed a complete and utter infatuation for American hardcore, it's clear that we're dealing with high quality punk-rock that stands out. And in times like these, the eccentric take of singing in Swedish is also a thing I applaud. 'Cause to be honest; you can easily sort out the quality from the quantity when it comes to punk sung in this native language nowadays. There's not on an ounce of originality to Sista Sekunden's music, I know, but they have the honorable courage to think outside the box sometimes. Furious hardcore in the vein of Adolescents is mixed with melodic punk rock in "Bombplan" reminiscent to early Bad Religion somewhere around "How could hell be any worse?" and that's a typical characteristic of the band and this album. "Skyll inte på oss" ("Don't blame us") is a reckless and rash album similar to a rollercoaster. In a good way, that is. If you're only going to buy one punk album this year, buy this one
