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 Record Store Day

  • April 19, 2014
  • by stussey5150

2 posts in a day. What’s the world coming to. I was perusing the internet and saw people lined up at record stores feeling like they’re doing something cool. Like most holidays/’special’ days,etc.,I tend to avoid them. Since today is Record Store Day, I will voice my opinion why this is another bunk day. I read 1 article where the store owner said he’ll see faces he’ll never see again because they came in for that 1 piece of vinyl that’s only available today. To me it defeats the purpose. It’s 1 thing to be a record collector because you like the music, but to buy something knowing you’re going to make money off of it is as Poison Idea calls these folks out ‘Record Collectors are Pretentious Assholes’. People line up for blocks, yet where are a majority of these people on any given Tuesday when new releases come out at their independent record store? I’m sure it makes them feel better about themselves because they’re ‘taking a stand against the major labels’. Pshaw I say,because you’ll be back downloading iTunes or however else you get your music, probably later today. I’m all for independent/underground stores, but to bank on 1 day catering to douchebag/baggettes to make some extra dough is, and maybe this is just the punk mentality in me, but corporate sell out bullshit. And I know RSD didn’t start out being this way,but it has. If you really want to support independent stores/labels, shop them year round instead of sitting behind your computer and clicking download for your favorite releases.

1 A New Year, A New Plan

I was asked to contribute to PE what seems like forever ago and I made a few posts promoting my show, but that’s about as far as it went. Sometimes life and lack of motivation get in the way. I don’t do resolutions, just act, so this year I,with circumstances permitting, be contributing more here.

I ended the year by getting stuff off my mind that bothered me. Seems some people were offended. Do I regret what I said, no? People used to complain how PC the 90s were. At least people got called out and those people people had to answer the claims. Jump to the 21st century. You call someone out for being inept,a thief,a nuisance and basically a detriment to community/society and those who do the calling out are labeled a bully. And people defend those who are the ones committing the offense, and they don’t even have a clue how wrong the person is and that the facts support themselves. This was just in my personal life recently. But, the scope is universal. Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty spouts bigotry and homophobic statements and people defend him. The media does it on an almost daily basis. We’ve become a society of victims,but that blog is for another time. In this day and age, information is flying by in milliseconds and you pick and choose what you see, and so much of it isn’t based on fact. And that’s what scary about the people who are quick to defend. People see a post on a social network site and automatically accept it as fact. There are also the parody sites like the Onion,the Daily Currant and others that people see the headline, or even if they read the story, don’t realize it’s a parody, then spreading it as fact. It’s sad and scary that this is how information is getting passed around. Not only that, someone finds a story that is a few years old, posts it and people, once again don’t even pay attention to anything more than the headline and it’s accepted as current and factual even if it’s been refuted. I can ramble on and on and give examples of how globally these things spread, or go ‘viral’ as they like to say these days, but I won’t. Just testing the waters and getting back into writing and posting regularly. There’s enough misinformation being spread these days and some of it intentionally, that our brains sometimes can’t fathom the amount of information and we get lazy and just post away thinking we’re enlightening the world, when in fact we’re just adding to the sheer amount of garbage we see/hear every day. So, I ask of you readers of this blog/zine, to actually read the entire whatever it is, whether it’s a blog,news article, quote,etc, to find out all the information before you run it up the flagpole.-Stussey

This is going to be a short introduction about me as the newest contributor to the world of Profane Existence. My name is Stussey, aka SomberSteve, aka John Doe, aka Sunshine Steve and many others. I have been involved in the Atlanta punk/hardcore/metal scenes in 1 way or another for the past 26 years and a fan for over 30. I’ve been in bands,written a zine,booked shows,and have been a door guy off and on for 20yrs. My day job is in tv/video world which can be hectic times and mind numbingly dead at other times. At 1 time I filmed many of the bands that came through Atlanta over the years. I hate 1 camera videos and always made an effort to do a pro shoot when I did film but you can only do it so long without getting thanks from bands who I went out of the way to not just film but edit and author a dvd and then send it to them. May seem petty, but life is petty.

I’m also the host of 2 internet radio shows. Worst Case Scenario airs live every Sunday at 7pmET on http://www.brutalexistenceradio.com and Epicus Apocalyptus immediately follows at 9pmET. WCS is 2 hours of crust/grind/dbeat/anarcho & punk and EA is more of the metallic crust. I post the setlist and download links at http://werstcasescenario.tumblr.com. I am always looking for new bands,not just for my show but in general. I don’t care about reunions,which I’m sure I’ll post about my disdain for reunions at least once and if you’ve listened to my show you know how much I’m against them. I’m not going to go too much into ranting and raving since this is more of an introduction and since this isn’t doesn’t have a deadline and I’m free to post when I want, when the mood strikes me, you’ll get an update. Until then smoke up, drink up and get ready for the end of the world.

I won’t be posting about my kids, at least human ones. I have become jaded and cynical in my advancing age, but don’t dwell on the ‘good old days’, and instead of just bitching and moaning about the problems I try to offer solutions that usually go unheard because people are too lazy and tied to their techno gadgets to do anything other than post their latest meal or a post claiming they have privacy on the internet. I could ramble on for pages but just wanted to do a quick introduction and will post when something irks me enough to log in to actually take the time to type something out.
