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 Ben Crew’s Column (originally slated for PE #64 – December 2011)

Ben Crew

Ben CrewHi. My name is Ben Crew. I will be coordinating all the new record related projects here at Profane. Some of you know me but I’m guessing most of you don’t. If you know me, skip to the next paragraph. For those of you who don’t, you are better off. I won’t waste your time with trivial information about myself. I’d rather take this opportunity to tell you about the new projects we’ve got cooking at PE.

Let me start by thanking you for your patience. The APPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT – Black Sands 7” was due to hit the streets a long f*n time ago. Seriously… this rager of a record was supposed to be old news by now. However, we hit a couple snags in production. First off, someone at the pressing plant listened to the test press before sending it out. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem. It’s a great 7”. If I worked at the pressing plant I’d want to be the first to hear it too. The problem was that they recognized a sample from the radio show Democracy Now. It’s not like it was easy to spot. ATU, being the creative artists that they are, blended the sample into the song using a variety of effects (distortion, reverb etc.). I would argue that ATU was just creating an artistic audio sculpture using “found objects” but the legal department at the pressing plant did not see it that way. Rather than trying to fight them on our moral and artistic high ground, we figured it would be easier to contact Democracy Now to get permission to use the audio. This proved to be a long and fruitless endeavor. In fact Chris, from ATU, took it upon himself to contact Democracy Now. It took a couple weeks of constant calling and e-mails before he got a response. After getting bounced around several times he finally talked to someone who said they would license the sample. Ok… great… we agreed to license the sample. Democracy Now is a good show, and we are happy to work with them. So we jump through the hoops they ask us to jump through… and don’t hear anything back. Chris kept on them for about a month or two. Finally he gets through to someone who says the person who agreed to license that sample no longer works there. After a few more phone calls and e-mailing back and forth we finally got the hint that they weren’t going to cooperate. So we took the path of slightly less resistance… get the song re-mastered without the sample. Problem solved. This record will finally come out. It won’t have the sample but it’s a solid ATU record. People need to hear it. So it gets re-mastered and we get the test pressings no problem. People at the pressing plant are happy. Yeah… Success right? Wrong! We listened to the test pressing and noticed the songs got mixed up. Track one is the same on both sides. One of the tracks got left off… so we started over once again. Third time is a charm right?? It better be! The good news is this record is well worth the wait. ATU are one of the best bands out there writing thrashy/metallic/anarcho/crust with duel male/female vocals. This 7” is a testament to that and the artwork is killer! I for one am stoked this record will out soon!

The Anti Christy

The Anti ChristySo, a few moons ago I spent an evening in the delightful company of my good friends, Shafe and Katie. It’d been a while since I saw Katie so catching up on new events and reminiscing about old times became the highlight of our evening. However, if you know people like my friends Katie and Shafe, then you know that your pleasant evening will eventually be riddled with random freaks and unforeseen happenstances. Being chased down an alley by a crazy homeless lady demanding that her palm be read is just the kind of night I would expect, and hope for, when in Shafe and Katie’s company.

While enjoying a drink with them at a local Eugene whiskey bar/Japanese restaurant called Izakaya Meiji Company, Katie recalled a time when we were roommates. I had just returned home from a HAPPY BASTARDS’ tour and, according to her, I had many interesting stories to tell. Katie mimicked me, adding more of a drunken sailor gruff to my voice,    So, I turned to face him and I squinted at him with my one good eye!” Katie then broke character, turning into a fit of laughter. Me on the other hand, I was surprised. I had no clear recollection of this.

3 ANTISECT Interview

Antisect 2011

ANTISECT

ANTISECT remain one of the more obscure bands from the early 80’s UK anarcho/peacepunk milieu, but their album In Darkness There is No Choice  (released in 1983 on Flux of Pink Indians’ Spiderleg Records) easily ranks among the top anarcho-punk records of all time. What set ANTISECT apart from their peers was their ability to convey a sharp social message while playing some of the most aggressive and heavy music of their time. The band followed up with a ep called Out from the Void which musically put the band on a parallel course with decidedly non-punk bands such as HELLHAMMER, VENOM and MOTORHEAD. While recording their second full length, the band suddenly broke up in 1987, leaving behind an unfinished legacy that’s left behind a lot more questions than answers… Fast forward 24 years later when suddenly (as if out from the void) Antisect announce they have reformed. To help fill in some of those unanswered questions we present to you Antisect guitar player and founding member Pete “Lippy” Lyons put to the question by Ooch from Bristol.

StinkbotFirst things first, thanks to all the people who’ve responded to my last column. It’s heartening to know that there are so many of us out there who have struggled with booze and drugs, and lived to fight another day, not only stronger than before, but more at peace in our lives. I feel like it’s time for a network of punks in recovery. Like those of us who’ve been through the ringer need to speak out.

I’m not saying we ought to go out and rescue everyone, but there are those among us who know they need help, who want to get help, but they just don’t know how to get help.

0 ALL SYSTEMS FAIL / @PATIA NO split LP – REVIEW

  • February 13, 2012
  • by PE Admin
  • · Reviews

This LP is a pairing of two raging anarcho-punk powerhouses. @PATIA NO hail from Caracas, Venezuela, and they’ve been very active for a number of years now, not just in the DIY punk scene, with quite a few records under their belts, but also in the activist movement. They are definitely a band who believes in putting the politics back into punk. Their sound is sort of heavy hardcore punk with a bit of a crusty edge, with frantic drumming, male & female vocals, and tons of rage, anger, passion and sincerity. On the other side of the record is Salt Lake City, UT’s own ALL SYSTEMS FAIL, another fiercely anarchist hardcore punk band, a bit faster paced, a bit more upbeat, and with a touch of rock n roll in there. The songs are really catchy and loaded with hooks that keep your head bobbing along. And no one could dare say these guys are lacking in anger, passion, or sincerity. This whole record is great, but the ALL SYSTEMS FAIL side is really fucking great, and has been receiving a lot of turntable time in my house lately. The record itself is pressed on grey vinyl, and comes with a nice fold out insert with lyrics, and the cover and insert art are done by Dave Trenga of BEHIND ENEMY LINES and AUS-ROTTEN. (righteous)
