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.

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.

PE Special #3 (SOD HAULER e.p. plus 3 more!)

This is the 3rd installment of the PE Special $6.66 series. We had to feature SOD HAULER’s first e.p… plus 3 more special selections from our distro box. (Limited to 10 pacts!)  ORDER NOW!

SOD HAULER – Self Titled e.p.

Sod Hauler, hail from Seattle and feature members of STATE OF THE UNION… a band with several releases on Profane Existence. Although we haven’t released anything for Sod Hauler we believe them to be solid as f*ck band with a heavy as f*ck sound that is punishing and demands attention. And we just happened to get an order of their first e.p. so here it is. For fans of Eye Hate God, Sleep, Sabbath and Buzzoven. All Hail Sod Hauler. Smoke up and bow down!

BLOOD OF THE GODS – The Shadow Before

This is the debut release from New Hampshire’s axe-wielding, death-crust-dbeat warriors, Blood of the Gods. Like a clan of possessed, drunken Viking Berzerkers marching into your ear canals, BOTG will violate, pillage and decimate everything you once thought was deadly and brutal in the “Metal-Punk” realm. Eight unsubtle nuances of sheer brutality range from skull crushing slow grooves to gut-wrenching gallops and blood boiling blast beats. Fans of Bolt Thrower, Disrupt, Obituary, Stormcrow and others of similar ilk will proudly sacrifice their eardrums to this devastating disc. Features ex-members of Buriedinhell Record’s very own dbeat/crust merchants, Man The Conveyors.

THE DETONATORS – Balls To You Emergency Broadcasting System (naked: sans case)

“The Detonators were hard-working, long-running, prolific and vastly underrated.  They began in California in the mid-1980s (where punk was huge) but inexplicably decided to move to Eugene, Oregon (where punk was nearly non-existent.) Who knows, maybe they wanted a challenge. Maybe they would have been very popular if they’d stayed in California. Maybe they didn’t want to be popular. Like I said, who knows? In any event, the Detonators made a lot of great records. The band considers the 1988 “Balls To You” album their best effort, and I stand in agreement. The Detonators hand-crafted fine, memorable punk rock tunes with a hardcore flair, much in the tradition of  D.O.A., Toxic Reasons, Social Unrest and the Canadian Subhumans. Strong guitar riffs and simple vocal lines are the Detonators’ bread and butter, yet each song is uniquely its own.” – (BS)

DON’T FALL ASLEEP – A Minneapolis D.I.Y. compilation for Day Break Newspaper. (naked: sans case)

This comp features variety of Minneapolis based activist-punk/peace punk bands who hung out on the West Bank (Seward, Hard Times, and  Bedlam) & supported the anti-corporate anarcho ideals behind Day Break Newspaper. This comp is a few years old now and many of the bands on here have broken up but it is still awesome and stands as a testimony of the d.i.y./community spirit of the Minneapolis scene.

3 PE Special #2: Kenny Chesney is a Punk

  • · Store Specials

PE Special #2

Only one very special person is going to get this package. That’s it. Here is the back story: There is a dude from Minneapolis named Ryan Bezerker. He comes over to Profane Existence to help stuff records. He also runs a d.i.y. tape/record label called Bezerker Records. When we had a bigger distro we use to trade with him all the time.  Ryan’s roomate is into country music and loves Kenny Chesney. This bugs the shit out of Ryan. All he does when he’s at Profane is complain about how much he hates having to listen to Kenny Chesney when he is at home. So to mess with our good friend Ryan Bezerker we are offering three of his tapes 1) RELENTLESS APPROACH 2) EYE GOUGE & 3) BLACK COFFEE (Australia) all wrapped up together in a Kenny Chesney 2012 tour edition t-shirt. Sorry. I know everyone is gonna want this… especially for the shirt but it’s the only one we got.  ORDER NOW!

0 Profane Existence Distro Shutting Down – Massive Clearance on Now!

  • May 9, 2012

  • · PE Records · Store Specials

We’re far too busy with other commitments (bands, zines, family, fucking up the system, etc.) to continue running such a vast and time consuming operation as PE Distro. We’ve been slowly scaling it back over the last couple of months, but now we’re reaching our self-imposed deadline to call it quits. To speed up the liquidation of our inventory we’ve further reduced prices to practically give-away levels: Zines, CDs, 7″s, cassettes, and even LP records have been marked down to as low as $1. We’re going to be going through all of the shelves and bins the week and scouring them for stuff missing from the web store, so don’t be shocked if some new stuff is added later this week. But don’t wait either because the “good stuff” always sell out first!  Check out PE distro HERE.

FYI about the shopping cart: The postage system is strictly weight-based, so don’t be alarm if your shopping cart full of $1 albums costs more to ship than the cart subtotal!  We’re too busy to answer your questions like “how much will _____ record cost to ship?”  Put it in the shopping cart and go through the checkout process and see for yourself. Payment is the final step of the process so it’s not going to cost you anything to check the prices – including the shipping.

And to keep things perfectly clear, we are NOT shutting down PE Records or the PE Weblog.  We will still run a small web store, but it will be focused strictly on Profane Existence releases, including exclusive special editions, color vinyl, limited run shirts, etc.  Of course PE Records titles will continue to be available through such places as Interpunk and your local independent record store and small distros. If you are looking for PE titles wholesale, Ebullition may still have select titles and everything will soon be available through Independent Label Distribution.

  • · Store Specials

New titles by ENABLER, PROTESTANT, NORTHLESS, REPUBLICORPSE and dozens more were added to the PE distro today! All titles are priced to move. We don’t want these records sitting on our shelves  when you could be playing them. Besides, we have to make room for the new Profane Existence releases coming this spring/summer. Stay tuned for more on that. Until then we’ve got hundreds of top shelf records at bargain bin prices.  CHECK IT OUT!

We just got a bunch of new  records that came in from various trade partners in Europe… Sweden, Italy… you get the picture.  We added them to the web-store and they are priced to move. Dozens of $2 7″s, CD’s & Cassettes and $5 LP’s. We also got some collectable BEHIND ENEMY LINES on red vinyl and COUNTER BLAST screen printed LP’s.  Last I checked there were only 17 army green DOOM – Police Bastard 7″s.
