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.

    Here is a track from the upcoming LP

    “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.

AGRIMONIA – Host Of The Winged
CLICK HERE

An intense new full length album from this dark crust band hailing from the gloomy crust punk underworld of Gothenburg, Sweden. Eight songs in just over 72 minutes(!) of death and black metal gloom with a healthy dose of crust punk influences. This is one of the most epic and most expressive releases to date: crushed souls, despair, and everything you’d expect from a Profane Existence title.

 

ATU discog cvrAPPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT – It’s Far From Fucking Over
CLICK HERE

APPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT hail from Huntington, WV and play a powerful blend of classic anarcho-punk, crust and a hint of metal, with aggressive female vocals, and urgent political lyrics. This discography compiles all the songs that launched ATU’s meteoric rise in popularity. It includes the Armageddon Won’t Be Brought By Gods 7″, Greenwashing LP, and a cover by Final Warning.

 

oipolloiatuAPPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT / OI POLLOI – split 7″
CLICK HERE

The long awaited split 7″ with APPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT (USA) and OI POLLOI (Scotland). Each band offers up three songs of rage-filled anarcho-punk which straddle the line between traditional punk rock and full on thrash metal. The packaging is in the traditional anarcho-punk fold out poster style and is being pressed on 100% recycled vinyl. But this is the digital version, fold out poster not included.

 

ATUbksndAPPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT – Black Sands
CLICK HERE

“ATU’s newest release Black Sands will not disappoint with awesome metallic riffs and lyrics that bring home issues we all should have on our minds. What’s so on point about this band is that they are the total fucking package; not only do they incite change on the lyrical tip, but the music they lay down is so epic. ATU are able to balance all of the influences of metal, crust and punk with pure passion and conviction, which makes their songs dig deeper into your mind….” – CVLT NATION

 

Disrespect dgtlDISRESPECT – 2004 Recordings
CLICK HERE

DISRESPECT started in Minneapolis as a classic 80′s punk rock cover band by former and current members of DESTROY, MISERY, etc. and eventually started writing original songs in the same spirit. This is 80′s style anarcho-UK style  punk. This includes their first two EP’s that were both recorded in 2004. It also features three previously unreleased covers from the likes of ABRASIVE WHEELS, L7, and TURBO NEGRO.

 

garmonboziaGARMONBOZIA
CLICK HERE

Haunting crust from Minneapolis with female vocals and cello, which varies from quiet and intricate melodies, to full-on d-beat thrash. Their lyrics have a very serious and angry tone to them taking on tough topics like mental health and patriarchal domination within the punk movement. While GARMONBOZIA have since broken up their message and music continue to influence the sounds and ideas of the anarcho-punk movement world-wide.

 

LPCoverIN DEFENCE – Party Lines & Politics
CLICK HERE

Fourteen tracks of spastic Ritalin-fueled hardcore thrash from the toxic underbelly of Minneapolis-St Paul. Causticly sarcastic lyrics spewed over super crushing guitar riffs and relentless machine gun-like percussion. IN DEFENCE are definitely hometown favorites (usually drawing bigger crowds than the touring bands they support), have a relentless tour schedule, and are comfortable playing with bands from across the hardcore / punk / metal spectrum. This is their third album.

 

ID into the sewer coverIN DEFENCE – Into The Sewer
CLICK HERE

Minneapolis’ taco eating retard thrash comando unit return with another hard hitting, rip your face off, party till you puke album of sarcastic jams and political jabs. In Defence make fun of everything from eating pizza to moshing the wrong way. Why do they care so much about trivial topics? Who knows. But what makes us laugh makes us stronger and In Defence gets whittier by the day. Includes their second LP plus two 7″s and a few bonus tracks.

 

BREAKDANCE cvrIN DEFENCE – Don’t Know How To Breakdance
CLICK HERE

In Defence play raging thrash punk crossover with a sarcastic/humorous yet political approach to their lyrics. Comparisons have been made to bands like R.A.M.B.O, Caustic Christ, and a more anarchist leaning/politically correct version of SOD. This is a reissue of their long out of print first LP. It It includes bonus cuts from their split 7″ with Black Market Fetus and lost comp trax as well as classic In Defence anthems like “NO WAR… BUT STAR WARS”.

 

Provoked infantPROVOKED – Infant In The Womb Of Warfare
CLICK HERE

Provoked is the direct result of gathering five of the maddest heads in Minneapolis into a single band. Eleven tracks of raging, thrash-influenced, anarcho-punk mayhem, with strong female vocals and angry social-political commentary. This was released in May, 2005 and includes tracks from their split EP with PATH OF DESTRUCTION. The physical copies of this are sold out but here it is, again, in digital format.

 

Povoked coldPROVOKED – Prepare For The Cold
CLICK HERE

Minneapolis monsters of d-beat crust PROVOKED are back with a vengeance! Picking up where their Infant in the Womb of Warfare LP left off, they return with ten powerful new tracks which clearly highlight their style of mixing classic d-beat thrash, monstrously powerful crust, and just the right amount of metallic guitar riffage. This record features their new vocalist, Kerri, taking over for Scaba who found her life’s love in Germany after their last European tour.

 

Resist7cvrRESIST – Another Day In Paradise
CLICK HERE

After a fifteen year break to wise up and dry out, Portland’s anarcho-punk legends RESIST are back and stronger than ever. Still anchored by original vocalist Tom Nims and guitar player Ward Young, they have added new talent on bass and drums. While still distinctively the same fast and raw RESIST you remember from the old days, the song writing for this new material has greatly matured and is much more dimensional than anything before.

 

423105_396171880453822_1265916707_nTHE SHAME – The World Is Ours
CLICK HERE

The Shame play straight up, unapolagetic, in your face anti-fascist Oi!  with lyrics about BEER and FOOTBALL (the international kind).  This record is filled with anthems that the whole scene can drink-a-long to. So grab a pint with your mates, turn on the game and play this record as loud as you can. After all “The World Is Ours!” This was the first release in the 2013 limited edition singles series.

 

SOF CVRSTATE OF FEAR – Discography
CLICK HERE

The complete STATE OF FEAR discography now available on LP or CD! No… wait… that SOLD OUT years ago. This is the digital version. State of Fear successfully modernized the classic d-beat “Scandi-thrash” sound into the 90’s and paved the way for a new generation of bands to follow. Includes the Tables Will Turn… LP, Wallow in Squalor EP and their debut self-titled EP. Features all new artwork by Marald.

 

WarcollapseWARCOLLAPSE – Defy!
CLICK HERE

The Swedish gods of crust break three years of silence to unleash a new masterpiece of epic proportions. Twelve brutal new songs that layer new realms of gutteral intensity to the traditional Swedish d-beat KÄNG of the likes of TÖTALITAR, KRIGSHOT, WOLFBRIGADE, etc. And of course there is plenty of the traditional WARCOLLAPSE sound that emphasizes mournful dirges, captivating guitar leads, and vocal style that is as primal as it is guttteral.

 

WAR-PLAGUE coverWAR//PLAGUE – On A Darker Dawn
CLICK HERE

Minneapolis punk veterans War//Plague return with their debut full length album “On A Darker Dawn”. This album brings forth over 2 years of socio/political rage and ferocity that is unleashed into a culmination of metallic fury. On a Darker Dawn is the bands defining pinnacle, both musically and lyrically. Coming from previous bands such as Provoked, Calloused and Pontius Pilate. These Minneapolis punks know their roots and the underbelly of the DIY movement.

    Any recommendations for a decent usb record player to rip our vinyl? We’ve bought two different ones so far, and the auto-stop features stops them before they get to the end of a 45.

    • Dan January 12, 2013 · Reply

      We have a cheap Sony turntable we got at Worst Buy in the PE office. Never had a problems with it stopping before the record ends.
