Summon the Crows " One More For The Gallows"



CRUST-METAL. Norways gloomiest and heaviest crust-monster is back! 4 years after their 1st full-lengst "scavengers feast", SUMMON THE CROWS are prepared to unleash a new studio album of 10 manic and intense bulldozer-crust anthems that come along with a distinctive blackened vibe and a vary of fast and mid-tempo elements in their songwriting not unlike old black-metal but with a way better production and a hell lot of sound and urge for power in their production! You might spot some bits of influence here and there, reminding you sometimes of SLAYER, CELTIC FROST or even the old vintage VOIVOD. A guttural sick vibe within the vocals, a bass and drum unit that weights several tons and a heavy shredding and chugging guitar that creates a sonic juggernaut of grim and dire tunes. LP comes with a poster insert including lyrics and artwork. The new-wave of Norvegian blackened crust has arrived!

Nicoffeine "lighthealer-stalking"

Let’s keep this straight from the beginning: what you are about to hear on this record is not for everyone. So consider yourself as part of an elitist circle, whose main interface can be seen as a sonic rollercoaster ride into the deepest crypts of dedication. Challenging – this is what it is: the distance between white noise and and actually, music is a shorter track here than with, let’s name it, Supertramp. Or Barclay James Harvest. Or pop music. Or a bit more special: Indie Rock.

Winter " Into Darkness"


Sometimes a band is so far ahead of the times or just so original that people aren't ready for them and only years later do they get the praise they deserve. This is truly the case of Winter. Winter formed in 1988 out of the ashes of local punk bands Doomsday and Meltdown. The thriving underground music scene in NY at the time was split between NYHC, death/thrash metal and punk. Each one was separate from the other in musical style, politics (or lack thereof) and fashion. Somewhere in the middle of all that Winter arrived. At this time every band from the area were playing as fast as possible. Winter however was the complete opposite playing as slow and heavy as possible. They tuned lower than any band and their tempos crawled at a snails pace. Inspired by bands as diverse as Black Sabbath, Celtic Frost, Amebix, Rudimentiry Peni, King Crimson, Hawkwind, Carnivore and Discharge their combination of dark lyrics, low vocals and crushing slow tempos slowly built a following of punks metalheads and even some NYHC/crossover fans. In Long Island they would open up for the big death metal bands of the time like Sepultura and Death while also playing punk/d.i.y. /squat shows in NYC with bands like Nausea and A.P.P.L.E The band signed with Future Shock Records for the release of their debut LP Into Darkness. The album became an instant cult classic. As the years went on Winter's legacy slowly evolved from total obscurity to becoming a cult favorite who were respected around the world. Winter disbanded in 1991.

SCHOOL JERKS "Control"

HARDCORE-PUNK. On their 3rd 7", Toronto, Canada's SCHOOL JERKS give up 6 tracks that still follow the same path as the other recordings of 1980/'81-influenced punk that crosses the line into hardcore (with some subtle rock influence), but has even grittier influences of early POISON IDEA flowing through the riffs.

EAST OF THE WALL "Ressentiment "

PROGRESSIVE-METAL/HARDCORE. From the opening track you can tell "ressentiment" isn't your standard fare. Layers upon layers of prog-ish post-metal lead to full-blown stories being told in each song. The vocals and the music meld perfectly together here, with melancholy moments immediately flipping to angry walls of guitars and then to soothing melodies while clean singing co-mingles with angry growls. There's no doubt the album is an extremely challenging listen and you've to listen to it three times before being able to put your thoughts into the words. You'll get 13 songs of intense, technical instrumental metal.

BIRDS OF PASSAGE "Without The World"

POST-ROCK/EXPERIMENTAL/DRONE. The influences of Alicia Merz - the woman behind BIRDS OF PASSAGE are her memories, breathless-inspiring cold winds, the smell and atmosphere of a spring day, smoking cigarettes, sunshine and shadows. As a mixture of all these elements plus a minimalistic experimental instrumentation you can describe her music: sometimes shy, sometimes more energetic but always intensely and extremly private. Vinyl is limited to 300 pieces in 3 different colors, thick gatefold sleeves, 180gr vinyl, thick 36 pages booklet including the poem collection "garden of secret".

Goes Cube " In Tides And Drifts "

In 2009, Goes Cube astounded critics in the US and Europe with their debut full-length “Another Day Has Passed.” Publications cheered the abundance of riffs and aggression pummeling through thick atmosphere, dynamic shifts, and nostalgic nods to punk, noise-rock, and hardcore. It was enough to earn the record a spot on Decibel Magazine’s list of the 40 best albums in 2009. After touring (with the likes of Helmet, Intronaut, and East of the Wall) and an acclaimed EP in 2010, Goes Cube is poised to make 2011 their biggest year yet with their second full length album entitled “In Tides And Drifts.” While most bands become more polished, and more produced, Goes Cube did away with the sheen, and opted, instead, for pure rawness. And rather than get mired down in the trends that infect the ballooning metal scene, the band went with the simple philosophy of making their heavy heavier, fast faster, hooky hookier, and pretty prettier. Listeners will also find the gorgeous voice of acclaimed folk singer, Jaymay on two of the album’s songs. Her haunting melodies break hearts as the band behind her batters eardrums. After years of touring and recording some of the most eye-opening music, Goes Cube has proven themselves to be one of the most exciting and exhilarating bands in America.

Psudoku "Space Grind"

We have received an intriguing transmission after passing through a neutrino wave. We found there to be musical compositions encoded in subspace frequencies. Our lieutenant technician extracted these compositions and re-coded them in an aural frequency. They are now being studied by various institutions. It should also be noted that these compositions strongly resemble that of an early 21st-century composer, Parlamentarisk Sodomi, of the musical sub-genre "Grindcore". I present them to you for your own evaluation.

MÖRSER SPLIT THE SWARM



HARDCORE. * WAREHOUSE FOUND * Some records are so singular and arresting in their power, they seem to have their own gravitational pull. This split 7" is one of these. MÖRSER from Germany shouldn't need any introduction, but perhaps do. This band is SYSTRAL's evil twin, and issues forth an brand of grinding metallic hardcore that leaves nothing standing in its wake. The 2 tracks included here are no disappointment to anyone who has heard this band before. These are on of their earlier recordings before their sound started to fade into metal. THE SWARM completely destroys with 3 tracks of suffocatingly heavy Swedish influenced hardcore. Take the heaviest breakdowns, the most brutal speed, the meanest thrash parts, the most insane vocals, and you may be able to picture out how THE SWARM sounds like

Planks - Solicit To Fall


new one-sided LP from PLANKS. It features 4 tracks from the same studio-session as "the darkest of grays" on Per Koro. Whether through driving melodies, explosive noise, or the most fragile of interludes, "solicit to fall" hits hard and resonates deeply within the listener. On the b-side you'll get an eyecatching etching.

TUMBA SWING (monobanda)


Rogelio es un tío activo y tiene una mente muy inquieta. Como alguien diría, es un “artista polifacético”. Dale un pincel, una guitarra, dale tu brazo, un papel, lo que quieras, este hombre es capaz de convertirlo en arte. Comics, ilustración, fanzines, tatuajes, carteles, Los Tracahombres, Aullido Atómico, ex Desguace. Tumba Swing es su nueva aventura, un proyecto que abarca la revista de historieta e ilustración y este proyecto musical de mono-banda donde el buen hombre nos despacha en este EP (su primera edición) 6 temas de rockandroll infectado de country, blues contaminado de punk dentro de un garaje sónico lleno de manchas de grasa en el suelo y olor avinagrado… y desde el fondo Rogelio dando gritos con su voz desgarrada.

Y a parte nos hace el diseño del disco, como en todas las ediciones de sus otras bandas (Trahahombres, Aullido Atómico)

En una época tan mala como la que vivimos (así, en general) donde los gurús de las tendencias se fijan en un subsuelo totalmente adulterado, donde la pose parece que es lo único que vale y la modernez da otra vuelta de tuerca al “coolismo” más mongol, aquí tenemos un tío con los pies en la tierra y las mangas subidas para pringarse con lo que sea. Y de Mislata tú!

OUTRAGED “No Somos Igual"


Hardcore punk rápido y feroz, tupatupa agresivo, con voces desgarradas en castellano. En algunos momentos casi rozando el hardcore extremo, esta banda forma parte de esa floreciente escena hardcore punk cantado en castellano y de raíces latinas en Estados Unidos.
