0 ISKRA – “Ruins” LP Available Now!

July 30, 2015
by nolordsnoleaders
· Uncategorized

We now have copies of this masterpiece in hand and ready for distribution!

Formed in 2002, ISKRA set out with one goal – To revolutionize the metal underground. When I asked founding member Wolf as to why punks / activist’s would spend so much time and energy working in a metal scene that seems worlds away from anarchist principles, his response was simple, “Because it needs it.” Since the early 2000’s ISKRA have toured the United States, Canada, and Europe. Brilliantly combining crushing metal with well thought out and highly political lyrics, it is no surprise that they have become somewhat legendary in both the punk and metal underground.

“Ruins” is ISKRA’s third studio album and by far their best one yet. Recorded February 2014, Ruins was engineered and produced in true DIY fashion by ISKRA’s own drummer Cody Baresich. The album was then mastered for vinyl at Sweden’s CUTTING ROOM by Martin Ankelius.

“Ruins” contains 10 punishing songs with lyrics ranging from anarchist theory, military drone strikes on civilian populations, historic native american battles against european colonialism, and a yearning to be free from draconian laws. Combined with over the top riffs, devastating blast beats, pulverizing toms, and the occasional dive bomb this LP will leave your speakers smoldering. Not only is this one of the most intense records PROFANE EXISTENCE has ever done, it is also one of the most beautiful presentations we have seen in recent years. The stark mountainous cover resembles Middle Earth artwork but the real gem is the 11in x 11in 12 page booklet inside. Printed on glossy paper, this booklet contains not just lyrics but very thorough explanations of each song. This vinyl release is financed by a number of DIY labels from around the united states and Canada. Including, PROFANE EXISTENCE RECORDS (USA), BLACK RAVEN RECORDS (CAN), DOOMED SOCIETY RECORDS (CAN), WAR ON MUSIC (CAN), WHAT IS MAKING US SICK (CAN), NOCTURNAL RIEGN (USA), and ECHOES FROM BENEATH (CAN).

Other records still hot from the press…

APPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT – “We Don’t Need Them” LP

“We Don’t Need Them” is the second full-length record from West Virginia punks Appalachian Terror Unit. ATU have become known throughout the years as being one of the most politically charged bands in the current punk scene. This new record is an all out attack on today’s society that takes ATU to a new level of intensity both lyrically and musically. The combination of the beautiful and thought provoking gatefold cover (with art designed by Stiv of War) along with the brilliant recording and mastering job by Jay Matheson at the Jam Room take this record even further.

Song subjects include the horrors of war, police brutality, destruction of the environment, rape culture, consumerism and much more. Expect a very heavy and much angrier approach from a band that has been around the block and matured their sound. Seven raging new tunes including the epic fourteen and a half minute track“We Don’t Need Them”, a song that will one day be ranked among similar greats as the SUBHUMANS “From the Cradle to the Grave” and AUS ROTTEN “And Now Back to Our Programming”.

This June / July the newest member of the PROFANE EXISTENCE family, Portland’s VASTATION will be touring the west coast of the United States. They will be teamed up with WILT from Seattle for the entirety of the tour. If that’s not enough crust to rip your face off, a few selected shows will also feature BÄDR VOGU and British Columbia’s legendary ISKRA!

VASTATION is a somewhat newer band that formerly went by the name NIGHT NURSE. Musically VASTATION play raw galloping stenchy metal crust reminiscent of old peacevile bands. Their songs feature elements of greats like BOLT THROWER and AXEGRINDER mixed with DISCHARGE and EXTINCTION OF MANKIND. Later this month VASTATION will be dropping two incredible split EPS. The first one is with Minneapolis’s WAR//PLAGUE. It will be released on PROFANE EXISTENCE RECORDS and on ORGANIZE AND ARISE. The second split is with MUTILATED VETERANS and will be released on MORBID REALITY RECORDS.

If you have not heard VASTATION yet now is the time! Listen to the track “Don’t Uphold Their Law”

The new web store is up.

Yes!

To access the new store follow one of the many links from profaneexistence.com or access it directly at http://profaneexistence.storenvy.com

The first official PROFANE EXISTENCE title of 2015 is out and ready for order! We are proud to bring you the RIFLE DIET – “NO SOLACE” LP

Rifle Diet’s No Solace is a 12in 45 that combines the Classic Minneapolis crust sound with Swedish hardcore, D-beat and Epic crust (think somewhere between Servitude and Wolfbirgade, with hints of Tragedy and Fall of Efrafa). The beautiful cover art by Hannah Benoche sets a bleak mood for the dark music within, plus a cover of His Hero is a Gone – Chain of Command (ex-members of InDefence and Garmonbozia) This LP is a joint release between PROFANE EXISTENCE and BLOOD OF THE YOUNG RECORDS

To honor both the opening of the new store and our first release of 2015, we are giving a free copy of the RIFLE DIET – No Solace lp to everyone that spends more then $50 from Monday January 12^th to Monday January 19^th!!! This deal is for one week only. DO NOT MISS OUT!

The next release in the works is the new full length lp from APPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT – “We Don’t Need Them”.

We Don’t Need Them is the second full-length record from West Virginia punx Appalachian Terror Unit. ATU have become known throughout the years as being one of the most politically charged bands in the current punk scene.

WARWOUND – “A Huge Black Cloud-The Demos 1983“

Another record we are very excited about is the upcoming WARWOUND – A Huge Black Cloud-The Demos 1983. Recorded in 1983, this record contains 15 songs from three 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, and released 2 demos in 83. Members went on to join THE VARUKERS and form the almighty SACRILEGE. Warwound are one of the first bands to take the politics and d-beat influence from DISCHARGE and combine it with the blown out sound of CHAOS UK to achieve total destructive raw d-beat ear bleeding chaos!

WARWOUND – A Huge Black Cloud-The Demos 1983 will be a split release between PROFANE EXISTENCE and ORGANIZE AND ARISE.

It will be available in the spring of 2015.
