WILT combine old school metal and crust in a perfect hybrid that very few others have ever achieved. Prepare for a LP thats equal parts galloping d-beat crust reminiscent of bands like HELLSHOCK, and INSTINCT OF SURVIVAL, meets old school death metal in the vein of BOLT THROWER, MEMORIAM (old) SEPULTURA.
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.

Brace yourself for one of the most uncompromising hard hitting and politically outspoken records of this era. STORM OF SEDITION are an anti-civilization anarchist crust punk band based out of Victoria BC. Sharing members with the mighty ISKRA you can definitely expect some serious blackened crust, and yes a huge metal influence is prevalent however STORM OF SEDITION are a bit more reminiscent of bands like CONTRAVENE & NAUSEA. “Decivilize” brings a heavy anarcho punk dynamic to the table combined with over the top blackened crust grind thats littered with blistering solo’s, insanely powerful drumbeats, and thought productive lyrics that challenge our current state of human civilization. All in all this is an absolute monster of a release!
Comes with a 12 page booklet containing lyrics, notes, and song explanations.
STORM OF SEDITION WILL TOURING THE WEST COAST THIS SUMMER!!!
Keep you eye’s peeled for a list of tour dates soon!
Listen to the song “Disconnect” here…
Living a domesticated existence Starves people of meaning in their lives Everyone feels the void beneath the surface Of everyday activities and routines
Miserable, exploited, mass populations Feeding the industrial systems endless hunger Treated like machines, living beings Enslaved and kept passive in a technological noose
We live in these cages Made of concrete, glass, and steel A functioning human made hell Complete with natural scenery
Yet there is no community Deprived of connection with real people Technology perpetuates alienation But promises to connect us
And fill the void in our lives In constant need of escape and distraction From this fucking ugly world Technology creeping into our lives
Pop culture, pacifying shit Endless distractions to curb dissent A society of lonely domesticated beings Attempting social interaction behind a digital screen
Clinging to the feeling of connectedness Personalized profiles, mass communication tools Monitored and funded by pigs Spying on people, on movements While corporations profit off government control Microsoft, apple, fedbook Endless lists of corporations Infiltrating our everyday lives The NSA, the CSE Databases created from what you share Information for incrimination Millions of people on terrorist watch lists Technology’s a weapon used against us
Its function is to propel their ability To efficiently exploit us and the natural world While doing so capitalizing off selling us Gadgets to distract us from the lives we live and hate
Turn off that shit, enter the real world You are not connected You are alone staring into a fucking a screen
Get outside, meet with real people! Even if we use these tools We must never forget
Technology is a system created by and for those in power And it will only exist with Division of labor, exploitation, and death
Becoming connected through technology Is a sick fucking joke
PROFANE EXISTENCE RECORDS – PO BOX 647 – HUNTINGTON WV – 25711 – UNITED STATES
Originally pressed in 1996 PROFANE EXISTENCE is bringing this quintessential anarcho punk masterpiece back in circulation.
All original artwork (label logos updated) with three different vinyl color options.
In 1996 AUS-ROTTEN released their first LP “The System Works For Them” on an unsuspecting punk scene. It spread like wildfire in a pre internet era within a genre that mostly depended on tape trading. (at least is was pre internet for us penniless punks) “The System Works For Them” was the perfect mix of anger and intelligence that the scene needed at the time (and still does today). It was like a wake up call that opened the eyes and ears to many punks the world over. The messages where crystal clear and most us were hooked as soon as the beginning shouts of “Boycott” bellowed over the speakers. I don’t believe any of us ever expected their message to resonate so well within the scene, but even more surprising is how the songs are just as relevant today as on they the day they were written. Which is why PROFANE EXISTENCE has decided to repress this record. We feel that that messages that AUS-ROTTEN brought to the table are to powerful to ignore. We feel that this LP is important and therefore should be highly available and priced affordably.
“The Battlefield Is Still Red” Bloodsplatter Edition.
PROFANE EXISTENCE has worked out every last detail of this release with the members of AUS-ROTTEN whom have been involved from step one. All tracks have been re-masted by Jay Matherson at the Jamroom studios. To be 100% honest we didn’t want to do a complete re-master of what we already considered a good recording. However when we opened the tracks on protools we noticed a few balance issues that required fixing. These fixes resulted in a tremendous upgrade to the overall quality of the tracks. We painstakingly scanned, puzzled, and photoshopped the original artwork to make sure that it was as close to authentic as it could possible be. We then went for broke by pressing in three different vinyl color combinations! Overall to say that we are pumped to release this would be an understatement, we are absolutely ecstatic to bring you this LP on PROFANE EXISTENCE!
“What Good Is Money, When There Is No One Left To Buy” T-shirt.
To top this all off we worked with AUS-ROTTEN vocalist Dave Trenga on redrawing the classic “What Good Is Money, When There Is No One Left To Buy” design for a T-Shirt to concede with the albums release. This is a fresh take on an old image to create a new and original design.
See through “Smoke” vinyl. Available at SKULLFEST/ PROFANE EXISTENCE 27th anniverseray party / record release show.
Vinyl options are…
1. Standard black vinyl
2. “The Battlefield is Still Red” Bloodsplatter vinyl.

Silence are a highly active post-punk/peace-punk band from Pittsburgh, PA. “The Deafening Sound of Absolutely Nothing” strives (and succeeds) to achieve the perfect balance between peace and post punk. By taking influences from The Mob, Bauhaus, Zounds, Killing Joke, Amebix, Crass, Conflict, Internal Autonomy and Joy Division SILENCE have created what can only be described a brilliant debut LP. At one moment this record is dark, heavy, and atmospheric and then the next moment it makes you want to dance and sing along. Lyrically SILENCE are much closer to the anarcho side of the previously listed influences. Lyrics focus on a variety of topics but often have a strong focus on the way punk and activist communities deal with political struggle in our current political climate.
“The Deafening Sound of Absolutely Nothing” comes with a 16 page magazine size zine containing lyrics, personal writings and song explanations. Designed, printed and assembled by the band themselves in true D.I.Y. fashion.
Silence will be having a record release show in their hometown of Pittsburgh PA at the Rock Room Friday April 22nd with SHADOW AGE and SKELETON HANDS. Then later this month SILENCE will embark on a full United States tour to support “The Deafening Sound of Absolutely Nothing”. Here is a list of dates. Be show to check in with the bands “bandcamp” or “Facebook” page for show updates.
When all that remains is a world in flames. Is that when they’ll say the wars are finally won? That wars are finally done?
They’re beating on the drums again, they’re fueling up the planes. The congressmen fall into line and sing the old refrain. In the name of peace they’ll burn the land and drop a thousand bombs.
Meanwhile we’ll just stay at home and go back to our sitcoms. It’s the same old song, we’ve heard it before. They’re beating the drums and they’re calling for war. What it’s supposed to accomplish, no one is sure But the victims are always the hungry and the poor.
Once the drums of war begin it’s hard to make them stop. The noise silences the dissidents once the bombs begin to drop. All those who call for peace will be mocked and pushed aside. In 10 years they’ll admit we were right after many thousands more have died.

Finally after many delays from the pressing plant the WARWOUND Demo’s LP “A Huge Black Cloud” is out and copies are moving fast!
Recorded in 1983, this record contains 15 songs from 3 sessions. With a few different takes you get a total of 25 blistering tracks. For those unfamiliar with WARWOUND, they are a UK band formed in 82. WARWOUND recorded 3 demos in 83 before disbanding and members went on to join THE VARUKERS and form SACRILEGE. These demos never received an official release… until now! Highly influenced by DISCHARGE, WARWOUND is one of the first bands ever to take D-Beat Punk to a raw and intense level. Recently reformed in 2015, original guitarist Damian is now joined by Ian Glasper on bass and Rat Varuker on vocals. After a few gigs in the UK word is spreading fast of the relentless onslaught of a live show these veterans put on. WARWOUND have also recently hit the studio to record for the first time in over 30 years. Needless to say WARWOUND is back with a vengeance!
Is it just me, or has the news been far more interesting lately than it usually is? I seem to be noticing a lot of interesting patterns. Follow me for a minute.
January 19, 5 people were shot on Gun Appreciation Day at various gun shows across the USA this year. Right around the same time, one of the top trained snipers in the world was shot and killed, point blank, while at a Texas gun range by a former soldier. All of this followed only a few weeks after the mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado. And all of this was followed by the most sensationalized story of the year, when ex-cop and former Navy marksman Chris Dorner began killing cops after releasing his manifesto over facebook!
Dorner had begun his war on cops after a number of issues of racism he experienced in the LAPD, capped off by his firing which followed after he turned in another cop for violently assaulting a schizophrenic homeless man who was not resisting. Other cops lied protecting their own, and thus Dorner was seen to be lying. Most of us already know the cops are corrupt violent thugs, but Dorner was one of those liberals who honestly believed he could be the one good cop. He was deadly wrong.
Meanwhile, in BC, just north of the imaginary colonial line, a report was released by Human Rights Watch documenting RCMP sexually assaulting various women and girls, mostly native women. The right wing government of Stephen Harper dismissed the report, and claimed they wanted to see proof, saying the women making the claims needed to come to the police and file reports. This is of course the same area where many Indigenous women have gone missing or been murdered over the last couple decades, with nearly no investigation by cops. The same area where serial killer Robert Pickton was praying on Indigeno
Stephen Harper Canadian Prime Minister and registered asshole
us women, then after raping them, feeding them to his pigs… And there have been many accusations of police involvement in those murders. Also the same area where Vancouver’s Martin Tremblay prayed on underage Indigenous girls for years; getting them drunk or drugging them, then videotaping himself raping them. For that he got 11 months. He returns to court to be sentenced March 6 for murder, after 2 of the girls he drugged and raped died.
Yet Harper insists the women being raped by cops should come forward to the cops and file reports. Cause we all know you can trust the cops. Around the same time another report was released, documenting internal abuses in the RCMP, including sexual abuses experienced by female cops being harassed by male cops, and even a greater number of cases of male cops bullying other male cops.
It just doesn’t seem to end. Last week while the Pope was stepping down — first pope to retire in 600 years –after the Vatican has been rocked by repeated lawsuits over priests raping children, Harper right hand man Tom Flanagan was caught on video saying pedophiles shouldn’t go to jail for viewing child sexual abuse images. “I do have some grave doubts about putting people in jail because of their taste in pictures,” Flanagan said, before going on to tell the audience he had been on the NAMBLA mailing list for years. Flanagan is not just some right wing nobody though – he pretty much created the current conservative party and ran their election campaign, re-imaging Stephen Harper. He then went on to craft the image and campaign for the Wild Rose Party – a far right offshoot of the Alberta Conservative Party. Flanagan is also a professor at the University of Calgary where he has taught political science for decades. He was the author of the racist anti-Indian hate literature book First Nations Second Thoughts; which argues that Native people were too inferior to have understood the European concept of Nationhood, and thus should not be given the rights of sovereignty, and that before the colonizers came the natives (who were recent imigrants) were just trying to kill each other off in wars over the land, we just happened to be superior so we won. This is also the same man who publicly called for the assassination of Wikileaks founder Julian Assangeon live tv.
Stephen Harper, appears to be sieg heiling
All of this was taking place as Indigenous activists and settler allies were taking part in nation wide protests as part of the Idle No More movement. Meanwhile Harper tied to keep media focus on allegations that Chief Teresa Spence had misspent money, going as far as to refer to her as Chief Teresa Spends. This was a valuable distraction, it kept attention away from the concerns the grassroots movement was trying to highlight by instead focusing on the figure head. Harper introduced another racist bill, the Fist Nations Accountability Bill whichrequires First Nations chiefs and councilors to publish their salaries and expenses. The hypocrisy was astounding as Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau was caught for using other peoples addresses to get a housing allowance that he did not qualify for. He had a long history of making racist and sexist comments, and on Feb 7 2013, Brazeau was arrested for sexual assault and domestic violence. He still gets his Senate paycheck though, even though he has also been found to attend less than 35% of the days he is paid to.
Racist lawyer Dough Christie only has 6 months to live
Also announced this week, one of this nation state’s most notorious racists, Victoria’s Doug Christie was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given less than 6 months to live. Christie is most famous for defending white supremacists such as Ernst Zündel, and Malcolm Ross a school teacher famous for holocaust denial; as well as leaders of the Aryan nations, Klu Klux Klan, The church of the Creator, and the Heritage Front. Christie also ran for political office as the head of the Western Canadian Concept Party, and later started the Western Block Party, 2 separatist political parties with far right politics.
ng. Other cops lied protecting their own, and thus Dorner was seen to be lying. Most of us already know the cops are corrupt violent thugs, but Dorner was one of those liberals who honestly believed he could be the one good cop. He was deadly wrong.
