AANAL BEHEMOTH - "forest paranoid"
(SUFFERING JESUS) - 5e, 300 den.
Finland has given us plenty of fucked up black metal bands; Beherit,
Impaled Nazarene, Clandestine Blaze, Wyrd, and Trollheim's Grott all
spring to mind. It seems to me that the Finnish metal scene is a fertile
environment for weird, punky blackness in particular, but while the
debut album from Aanal Beehemoth straddles both the blasted catharsis
of punk and the negation and atavism of black metal, Forest Paranoid
is in it's own weird world, a freakish splooge of psychedelic necropunk
that drips filth and junkie sweat from their reverb-soaked jams.
The whole album is whacked out, from the photos of members Deathly
Fightor and Crazy Bomber in over-the-top corpse paint and their faces
contorted into gruesome kabuki-like grimaces, smoking joints and shooting
junk, to their band name (what the fuck does Aanal Beehemoth even
mean?), but it's their music that is really frying my brain. A grotty
sort of garage punk, fast and loose and catchy as hell, but filtered
through utterly weirdo black metal with the vocals jammed through
a bunch of trippy effects. Take a look at the influences that the
band lists on their MySpace page - Hellhammer, early 80's Finnish
punks Kaaos, the outsider garage rock of The Shaggs, Gism, Elvis,
and Black Flag...that might give you an idea of what's festering on
this album.
The album was recorded on a 4-track, and the raw production fits these
damaged blackpunk anthems perfectly; it feels like yer hearing the
band jamming at full force down in some slime-covered dungeon, grinding
out their three minute buzzsaw anthems in abandon, slinging crazy
acid-guitar solos, dreamy organ freakouts that sound like the band
dragged a beat up old Hammond into the middle of their cave, mutant
blasts of ghostly ambience and electronic effects, and best of all,
surprising bits of pretty psychedelic melody and trippy guitar lines
that show up in almost every song. Imagine if you took a primal 60's
garage punk outfit like the Stooges, or the Sonics, or the MC5, ripped
them out of their timeline and transported them to a snowy Scandanavian
forest circa now, and left 'em to their own devices with only a crate
of Kossu and copies of Darkthrone's Plaguewielder, GISM's Detestation
and Celtic Frost's Morbid Angels to guide them through the void. It
fits right in on Suffering Jesus alongside the psychedelic 70's rock/black
metal of Tjolgtjar, but where Tjolgtjar is deadly serious with his
weirdo occultic themes and wonky black-acid-metal, the tongues of
the Aanal Beehemoth is firmly planted in it's collective cheek, as
evidenced by songs like "From Aanal With Love" and "Loaded
Head Empty Veins". Regardless, this freaking rocks. |

BILL SKINS FIFTH - s/t (FUCK
YOGA) - 5e, 300 den.
"A pretty strange album from Macedonia of all places (which
was previously a part of Yugoslavia, if yer geography is rusty), sent
to us by Fuck Yoga Records. The bizarre name is a reference to Silence
Of The Lambs, and these guys aren't the only band to use it: some
quick google scanning turned up a Texan harsh noise outfit from the
early '90s that had members of Black Leather Jesus and a funk-punk
band from Oregon who both used the same name. The Macedonian Bill
Skins Fifth is neither harsh power electronics nor Faith No More-influenced
rap gunk, however. Rather, these weirdos cobble together a chaotic,
fucked-up mess of neurotic metalcore, jazz, mathy indie rock, and
melodic post-hardcore that's pretty damn experimental and disjointed
but actually manages to keep me interested in spite of it schizo patchwork
of dissonant metallic hardcore somewhere in between older Converge
and Botch colliding head-on with jangly angular guitars, pop hooks,
Primus-y basslines, and full on blasts of free jazz. I think there's
some kind of concept at work here, with the series of illustrations
in the booklet and the abstract personal lyrics seeming to tie into
an ongoing story the band is telling with this album, but I'm not
too sure. In any case, this is some cool, damaged metalcore weirdness,
that's for sure." (CRUCIAL BLAST) |

BLACK BREATH - "heavy breathing"
(SOUTHERN LORD) - 10e, 600 den.
ENTOMBEDcore |
|
BLACK ELK - s/t (CRUCIAL BLAST)
- 5e, 300 den.
The eponymous debut from Portland, Oregon's BLACK ELK is a raging
destructo rock eruption, heavy, catchy, and flattening. This ten song
album contains a creeped out conglom of carnivorous charred hardcore
punk, the sludgy power of primo Pacific Northwest tarpit rawk (think
KARP, MELVINS, and early SOUNDGARDEN as reference points), twitchy
Midwestern noise rage somewhere between Am Rep Records (circa-1991)
and a more rabid DIE KREUZEN, and a goatheaded psychedelic backwoods
black mass/dance party risen to a freakin' fever pitch. Total crush.
Produced by Mike Lastra at Smegma Studios (EARTH, THRONES, JACKIE
O MOTHERFUCKER). |

BLOOD I BLEED - "high
octane thrash" (SELFMADEGOD) - 4e, 250 den.
Founded in 2002 by former members of well-known violent hardcore/grindcore
outfit My Minds Mine, high quality music with an enormous potential
for success in the underground community is what you can expect from
Holland's Blood I Bleed. Essentially a logical continuation of what
the Dutchmen have been doing for years, yet a new approach to the
overall expression based on and inspired by renown acts like Heresy,
Intense Degree or S.O.B., to name a few. Influenced by the 80's hardcore,
grindcore, as well as Japanese hardcore bands, the furious quartet
is a force to be reckoned with. High velocity hardcore / thrash with
power that cannot be denied. "High Octane Thrash" comprises
a big part of all the songs Blood I Bleed has put out on vinyl so
far, such as the self-titled 7", the split EP's with Under Pressure,
Sound Like Shit, Unholy Grave, compilation tracks and cover songs
from Heresy, Negative FX, Fear Of God and BGK. A total of 32 songs
that will blow your socks off. Singer Rosco (also My Minds Mine) has
just took over vocal duties again, which makes things sound even more
extreme. Like a high-octane fuel racing car, Blood I Bleed stops at
nothing. More power to their elbow! |

Dark crustcore influenced by scandinavian hardcore with some melodies

play in Doomtown and Burial. |

BURMESE/ CADAVER EYES split (HCB/
NSI) - 6e, 350 den.
Like demented twins in crime, Burmese (tUMULt / Load Records) &
Cadaver Eyes rephrase Doom, Grindcore and Power Electronics by using
an agonizing mechanism of plain brutal aesthetics, ascending these
genres to a higher level of cognitive surge. This split CD is difficult
and pungent, a warm spew in the face and an endless buzz in the eardrum
that fiercely occupies the brain and treats the grey cells as if they
were an ashtray. A crude awakening and a classic case of ponderous
self indulgence. |
|
BURMESE/ FISTULA - split
(CRUCIAL BLAST) - 6e,
350 den.
Hyper destructive low-end violence from two of the American underground's
most ferocious hate-sludge outfits. A dual assault from feedback-warriors
BURMESE and battle-sludge titans FISTULA. BURMESE annhilate everything
before them with a lethal blast of low frequency skree tantrums, cough-syrup
drenched blastbeats, WHITEHOUSE-worshipping noise, and demonic free
improvised violence. Think KHANATE, DROPDEAD, EARTH, and MERZBOW in
an earth shattering, widow-making basement deathmatch. Ohio 's FISTULA
batter up with megaheavy sludge, blistering blackened thrash, diseased
rock, and some incredibly infectious riffs . Hear these tarpit battle
anthems, hail the low frequency berserker. BURMESE burn you down...FISTULA
pisses all over the ashes. |

CATHODE - "...a machine that never falters"
(DIY CONSPIRACY) - 3e,
200 den.
"Awesome 8 song full length of dark, crushing hardcore from
Holland that is caught somewhere between the Portland "epic crustcore"
sound of Tragedy & From Ashes Rise (but MUCH faster and more pissed
off) and discordant,apocalyptic bands like Catharsis and Gehennna.There's
also a little of that insane german metalcore thing going on here
too, a la Acme Systral Morser. From the first blast of nightmarish
riffing that rips out of the speakers,to the last shredded scream
of defiance, this is dark, ultra-crushing stuff with a fierce anti-authoritarian/anti-consumerist
bone to pick." (CRUCIAL BLAST) |

COLD NORTHERN VENGEANCE
- "the arising dungeon cult" (IXIOL) - 5e,
300 den.
One of the US's best bands, Cold Northern Vengeance offer their debut
full-length of heathen black metal with Swede death-isms for a well
rounded attack. Atmospheric and poignant, there isn't one bad song
on this disc. Searing melodies and a caustic sense of aggression embody
the best of the US, Euro and Scandinavian scenes. CNV is uniquely
developed and an important band arising from US soil. |

extreme hardcore classic, very recommended |
|
CROWPATH - "old cuts
and blunt knives" (ROBOTIC EMPIRE) - 7e,
420 den.
Finally back in stock! The cacophony created by Swedish metal overlords
CROWPATH is astonishingly innovative but more importantly, all-encompassing
in its sheer brutality! Absolutely inhumanly-fast yet stylish drumming
and wild bass lines are the backbone for an amalgamation of creative
riff after riff. The off-timed chaos is superbly held together with
demon-like vocals that range from crazed screams to evil guttural
yells. By fusing the finest elements of tech metal, grindcore and
death metal with a good dose of hardcore battery, Crowpath's debut
CD is a very fresh outlook on heavy music and is undoubtedly going
to reshape the way many modern metal bands think. This collections
disc (mastered by Pig Destroyer's Scott Hull) compiles all of their
vinyl-only efforts and two exclusively mastered preview tracks from
their phenomenal Red on Chrome album on Willowtip/Earache. |

DAZD - s/t (FUCK YOGA) - 5e, 300
den.
"Killer apocalyptic hardcore from Serbia! This band is pretty
wild; they bring together weird occult themes and imagery, their album
art full of esoteric sigils, woodcut artwork, and surreal paintings
from Jason Barnett, the lyrics exploring themes of anarchism, paganism,
and earth magick, while the music is a mix of grim post-punk dirges
a la Amebix/Killing Joke, psychedelia, and violent hardcore rituals,
and also list Japanese maniacs GISM and cult Swiss metallers Hellhammer
as influences. At first, Dazd start things off with a wasted doomed
crawl, the opening track all stomping old school doom metal in the
vein of Pentagram and Sabbath, heavy bluesy riffing creeping over
reverb-drenched drums while screams echo in the distance; but the
second track sets the tone for the rest of the album, beginning as
a gloomy instrumental hardcore dirge, heavy winding bass and skronky,
Ginn-esque guitar matched with droning riffs and spacey synthesizers,
eventually starting to sound like a faster, more feral version of
Amebix. From there, the album travels through fast hardcore punk fronted
by snarling slobbering screams and delirious chanting, stretches of
electronic noise and droning synths and Hawkwindian space fx, pounding
metallic sludge, galloping old school metal, D-beat driven thrash,
finally arriving at the wailing tribal punk dirge of "Duboko
Duboko" where the band digs into another Killing Joke-esque jam
with Hammond organs and emotional weeping vocals. Strange and unpredictable
occult hardcore bound in amazing surreal imagery - Dazd are highly
recommended for fans of brutal left-field HC." Crucial Blast
