Making Punk A Threat Again!

  • The long awaited debut LP from NYC’s FLOWER “Hardly A Dream” is finally set to arrive.

    FLOWER’s tedious approach to writing/creating/drawing their debut LP was carefully thought out and the result is a monumental anarcho punk /crust record. 

    “Hardly A Dream” Takes us on a bleak journey through the dark side of society. As soon as you drop the needle a dark atmosphere is immediately created with a slow intro featuring arpeggio guitar work that builds into pummeling d-beat crust. The albums vocals then leave you with a feeling of being crushed by the ever-present weight of living through our modern world of late stage capitalism that was built on the falsehoods of the so called American dream, religious hypocrisy’s, nationalism, and the greed of humankind. 

    FLOWER take many cues from predecessors and are most often (and rightfully so) compared to NAUSEA but they also take a heavy influence from ANTISECT, SACRILEGE & other greats. The artwork has a very RUDIMENTARY PENI feel and the record comes with an amazing 24.5 X 34.75 CRASS style poster jacket. All art work was meticulously hand drawn and overseen by the guitarist Willow in true DIY style and spirit. Willow was also cool enough to draw up a special shirt for the record release featuring an alternative PROFANE EXISTENCE backprint!

  • Finally, the third LP from AGNOSY has arrived! 

    AGNOSY-cover

    Dark, heavy, galloping crust from the streets of London. AGNOSY is back to present us with a ferocious beast of an album that can only be forged by the anger and frustration of living in today’s world. “When Daylight Reveals The Torture” aggressively attacks evils such the current rise of fascism and animal abuse. It intelligently and passionately touches on the Afrin invasion and the revolution in Rojava and shows nothing but utter disgust toward the arrogance of humankind’s lust for greed and power that will inevitably lead us down paths of war and environmental devastation.

    AGNOSY – Live at SCUMFEST in London. 2011

    While lyrically AGNOSY are much more politicly straight forward this time around than on previous releases, musically they have expanded on their sound to create a dark and moody atmosphere while at the same time staying crust as fuck. To say they know what they are doing would be an understatement from this band of vets whose members have played in HIATUS, HEALTH HAZARD, and BEGINNING OF THE END.

    Long galloping intros are followed up by traditional d-beat, fierce solo’s are then meet with vicious vocals and pulverizing bass in a brilliant recording captured by Lewis Johns at The Ranch Production House and was mastered by Brad Boatright at Portland’s legendary Audiosiege. We then pressed on deluxe heavyweight 150-gram vinyl,  printed on reverse board jackets, and included an 11in x 22in gatefold insert to bring you a high quality and truly epic record.

    Review by Craig Hayes from “Your Last Rites”… 
    Swordwielder – System Overlord 
    Heavyweight punk fanatics take note: System Overlord is a fucking triumph. The long-awaited sophomore album from Gothenburg stenchcore band Swordwielder is a brooding behemoth, constructed from the filthiest and heftiest strains of punk and metal. System Overlord shimmers with apocalyptic visions, and it’s overflowing with all the grim atmospherics and intimidating intensity that defines consummate crushing crust.

    Too much hype? No way… And no apologies, either. Swordwielder deal in definitive stenchcore on System Overlord, and much like their full-length debut, 2013’s Grim Visions of Battle, the band’s latest release is a knockout. Swordwielder’s harsh, gruff and dark sound owes a significant debt to old school icons like Amebix, Axegrinder, Deviated Instinct, and Antisect, and they mix and mangle their influences and leave ’em to rot on the battlefield.

    Plenty of hammering rage drives System Overlord tracks like “Violent Revolution,” “Savage Execution” and “Cyborgs,” and thundering epics like “Corrupt Future” and “Northern Lights” exhibit subtler strengths, mixing guttural growls and clean vocals with crashing percussion and dirge-laden riffs. Connoisseurs of corpse-dragging crust will love the brute-force belligerence of “Absolute Fear,” “Nuclear Winter,” and “Second Attack,” which rain down like merciless mortar barrages. As a rule, all of System Overlord‘s mammoth tracks chug and churn with grinding muscle, while reeking of squalor and decay.

    Swordwielder exudes tightly coiled aggression from start to finish here—songs rise from the ashes of desolation, and resounding calls for action and resistance ring loud. If you’re a fan of heavy-hitters like Fatum, War//Plague, Carnage, Zygome, Cancer Spreading or (insert your favorite hefty crust crew here), System Overlord‘s trampling tempo and strapping sound are bound to appeal.

    “Sermon for the Bootlickers”

    Despite the inculcation of helplessness within each there remains great power. Ill at ease with such makes us ill. Learn to see the hand that feeds for what it is. You’ve been fooled if you think you’ve got no power. Refuse to be reduced to a consumer you’re a human being. Define yourself by more than wealth. Define yourself as a human. You don’t need what you’re being sold. Bend your knee to no authority but your own mind. You have the power to avoid the gilded trap. Avarice is what you’re conditioned for. Break the mold discover what’s really valuable to you.

0 Seitan (wheat meat)

  • October 18, 2012
  • by backwoodsvegan
  • · Crusty Collectivist Cooking Project · Recipes Section

 

 

 

 

Hey folks! This week’s recipe is for a very basic seitan. It’s a good starting point for many different flavors and styles and can be used in a variety of ways. Plus, the liquid left over can be used as a soup broth!

2 medium onions, chopped

5 cloves of garlic, chopped

3 large carrots, chopped into 1/2 pieces

In a large pot, boil 5 quarts of water, add onions, garlic and carrots(feel free to add additional flavors like celery, parsley, etc.) and continue to boil. While this is cooking, prepare seitan.

2 Cups vital wheat gluten

2 TBSP ground cumin

2 tsp ground black pepper

2 tsp sea salt

2 tsp onion powder

2 tsp garlic powder

1 Cup water or broth

1/2 soy sauce

Mix dry ingredients together and wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Slowly add wet to dry while mixing with a large spoon. When dough is too tough to mix, squeeze together with hands. Once it becomes a solid mass, kneed for five minutes and roll into a log and slice into medallions. Immediately submerge in boiling broth for 45 minutes. Place a colander in a large bowl and drain liquid. This can later be used as a soup or gravy base. Though you’ll have to separate te seitan from the boiled carrots, onions and garlic, it’s worth it. The veggies can also be used further in soup or pot pies or whatever. Once the seitan cools it can be stored in freezer bags and frozen for a fairly long time. Remember to add different herbs and spices to suit the dish you are using it for. Since it’s close to Halloween, we’ll call this mock zombie. Cheers! And remember, if you have to eat zombie, avoid eating the brain!!!

Ready to get your asshole blown away by some no frill straightforward Grind.   This 2 piece band hail from the sewers of Minneapolis to pulverize your ear drums with some short but sweet morsels of blast beats that are put together so you can actually listen to it.  Unlike some of those so called grind bands out there that use drum machines this drummer is insane behind the kit the faster the better for him.  Not to leave the vocals out with screams, growls and groans. With song titles like “Mystery Grind Theater” “Macho Madness” and “Blast The Crusher”, to name a few nothing over the top with titles or images they let the music speak for itself. I personally love all the wrestling references  they have and logos they do.  If you like grind in the ways of BACKSLIDER and Faction X Disaster then you’ll love these guys always touring the Midwest look for these guys best served live.

1 Pad Thai

  • · Crusty Collectivist Cooking Project · Recipes Section

This week’s recipe comes from Joe Fisher at http://dachaproject.com/ in Western New York. He’s a baker, a lover of sustainability and all things doom metal. Oh, and an all around good guy. We don’t have a picture this week so you’ll just have to make this dish to have a look at it. Enjoy!

Easy Vegan Pad Thai (aka, you can make this from a average grocery store!)

This is a two serving receipe that starts with:

6 oz. rice noodles, (the thick wide ones)

Sauce
3 T. fresh lime juice
3 T. catsup
1 T. brown sugar
1/4 T. soy sauce

—-
3/4 lb. mung bean sprouts

3 T. peanut or vegetable oil
3-4 garlic cloves, minced and pressed
1 T. minced fresh chile or 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups thinly sliced carrots
1 block tofu cubed and lightly browned,
2/3 cup chopped peanuts
6-8 scallions, chopped, about 1 cup
Small peice of ginger minced very fine
Small handful of Cilanro or fresh Lemongrass

After bringing water to boil in a covered pot, blanch the mung bean
spouts by dipping in the boiling water for 30 seconds. Set aside to
drain.

When the water returns to a boil, stir in the rice noodles and cook
for 3-5 minutes until tender but firm. Drain, then rinse in cool water
and set aside to drain again.

In a small bowl mix the sauce ingredients.

Prepare the other ingredients. Then heat oil for stir fry in a wok or
large skillet, add the garlic and chile and swirl in the oil for a
moment before adding the carrots and stir frying them for a
minute. Push the carrots to the side and add the tofu tofu. Then pour
in the sauce and stir everything together. Add the
drained noodles and mung sprouts and toss, then stir in peanuts and
scallions. Flip a couple more times under high-heat and you are done!

Nah not really. But the west coast office is going to cease operations at the end of October. I have had to take a good hard look at my priorities and realized that I can’t keep giving PE the attention that it deserves. All review materials should be sent to the Minneapolis office: Profane Existence / PO Box 18051 / Minneapolis, MN  / 55418 / USA //

Questions regarding columns, features etc. should go through Dan and Ben.
