Managed to snag a few of these from the band before the band sold out of all of them. This here is the remaining stock of their physical demo "Losing Everything". Exceptionally self-recorded, you can hear the humble beginnings of what is now their signature sound. Limited to fifty press with a hand lino-cut block print cover, printed by the band.
Insanity seems to be disorientated as we continue into the new millennium and it is searching for a new home. While it hides within brutality throughout the rest of the world, its musical passion transpires directly into the heads and bodies of Flu.ID. Inspired by the noise and hardcore heroes of the past century, these guys put their musical work into the core of all being from the start. Rhythms get fractured like bones, songs are fragmented, beloved classics of the metal age are pulverised and over the ashes they strew a chorus of expending voices. It is not begging for a new drawer in the musical filing tray, it’s convincing by being itself - like a steamed-up version of Dillinger Escape Plan on some really good acid or something - you get the point?
Iots contains the songs of Flu.ID’s previously released 10 inches on Interstellar Records and Modus Operandi Records - completely remixed, remastered and pimped-up with some electronic interludes and bonus tracks. Iots thus can be seen as the band’s official debut album since the two 10 inches are not only completely sold out, but they also never received the blessings of a wide-ranged distribution… until now.
AMBIENT/DRONE-ROCK. Over the last years, Justin Broadrick of JESU has created his own sub-genre of heavy music by taking the churning pummel of his former project GODFLESH and augmenting it with the textural melody of '90s shoegaze rock. "heart ache" is the 2 tracks from their debut, clocking in at about 20min. each. "dethroned" is 4 tracks originally conceived in 2004 but completed in 2010 pulling together sounds from every era of the band's existence.
I feel guilty for telling Rickard(Guitar) to send me this for review. I will get beaten up and hated I guess but don’t take it personally. Rickard and Emma played in Disconvenience before Epidemics a band which I dug. But Epidemics well… They just try too hard to sound punk. And it fails miserably. I like one song(the song I heard and lead me to say yes to Rickard when asking if he could send it in for review) and that is Bloodstains. The rest just bores me to death. It’s too generic. The lyrics haven nothing to say and the whole thing just left my turntable with out a trace. And I guess that’s what’s going to happen after a few months. No one will remember this. Why didn’t Epidemics try to make a 7″ instead? 
Here's some new Swedish hardcore. You might recall their 7" from a while back. Fast paced thrashing hardcore that rides the line in between the ultra fast like Rajoitus and the more mid paced D beat bands. Energetic and raw Swedish hardcore, on Yellow Dog Records. 
EXPERIMENTAL-ROCK. After few below the average solo albums in line, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez returned with great one again. Previous duet with John Frusciante release was extremely raw, and could be counted as rehearsal recording only. From the very 1st sounds you will understand what this album is all about - deeply psychedelic guitar jamming with plenty of synth and electronic effects. But differently from many similar O.R.L. - there is spacey atmospheric sound, excellent guitar works, complex rhythmic structures, many jazz fusion elements. And almost no chaotic cacophony at all! It could attract many of the former MARS VOLTA fans.
POST-ROCK. "moondrifts" is the 1st full-length from this Brooklyn, NY band and features 2 LPs worth of synth and guitar-driven layered sounds influenced by SIGUR ROS and RADIOHEAD. The amount of refinement honed by the collective members over the many years of crafting records and crashing on floors, both apart and collectively, shines like a great beacon across the saturated seas of newer and more derivative bands going for what GHASTLY CITY SLEEP truly delivers to listeners. From the chilling opener all the way through to the stirring conclusion, "moondrifts" is an entire album of unclassifiable music that pushes everything forward whilst simultaneously feeling like an old friend. Played by ex-members of bands like DARKEST HOUR, PG.99, CITY OF CATERPILLAR, and MAJORITY RULE.
INDIE-ROCK. The new record began with the same surprise turn that started CORIN TUCKER's career back in 1991, ended SLEATER KINNEY's 11-year year run in 2006 and inspired the punk-feminist rocker to redefine herself as a stay-at-home mom. "1000 years" deliver wrenching rhythms and hard-angle melodies, the slashing guitar and the wildly passionate vocals of Corin. The hard edges come nestled in lush weaves of acoustic guitars, keyboards,interlocking percussion, even cellos and violins, which places "1000 Years" deep into Tucker's creative headwaters - another addition to her 20-year catalogue of restless songs for restless spirits.
Featuring members of Time For Change, Seven Generations, Restrained, and Abandon, Agosto Espias bring their debut 7", which mixes the '90s emo hardcore of Ebullition bands with the rougher edges of crossover metal.
POST-ROCK/INSTRUMENTAL. KHUDA are an instrumental two-piece from Leeds, UK. They have been making noise together since 2007 and have progressed their sound greatly since then into a multi-amped mix of dark progressions and peaks. From ringing guitars to thudding mach waves, from buried melodies to lurching power drones, KHUDA will satisfy with sounds both strange and familiar. "palingenesia" is their newest effort and features 6 tracks with a total playin time of nearly 40min..
NOISE/POST-PUNK. GRIDS, from North Carolina, play ultra-distorted, grimy, feedback-drenched noise-punk with crushing repetitive precision. This LP delivers their heaviest and most damaged material to date. Comparisons could be drawn to bands like CHERUBS, PISSED JEANS, MANNEQUIN or even a punker,
POST-HARDCORE. ENVY has been blurring lines between hardcore, experimental, ambient music and sheer emotion for nearly 2 decades and continue to bend genres with 2010's "recitation". It’s no surprise that ENVY have increasingly found inspiration in instrumental-rock and experimental ambient music - genres that historically circumvent cultural trappings. With each album since their inception in the early ‘90s the group have chipped away at the linguistic and cultural barriers inherent in international rock music. "recitation" is a fully realized vision from a band at their most inspired.
PROGRESSIVE-HARDCORE. After the self release of their "losing everything" demo, Rhode Island's own CONVULSIONS properly introduce themselves with their debut 7", "the reaper's gift". This treatment is split into 4 equal parts coursing with a seamless blend of chaotic math work, coin-dropping signature changes and sundering pedal layers reminiscent of early BOTCHG and DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, yet coupled with a grittier, darker, rolling undertone not unlike the Melvins. This record comes with a hand silk-screened layout. With original block-print art from the band, hand stamped center labels and a hand type-written insert.

Tracklist:
POST-ROCK. "the way out", the fourth album by THE BOOKS, is the 1st in five years from the celebrated Northeastern duo. This album is indeed a new beginning. Over the course of 3 albums in nearly a decade’s time, THE BOOKS have grown to become one of modern music’s most genuine innovators. Creatively complex and truly unclassifiable, "the way out" continues THE BOOKS’ tradition of meticulous, existential songcraft, infusing the playfully surreal elements of previous albums with a humorous, childlike excitement.
Okkultokrati have been around for a couple of years now and feature members from Haust and Hombre Malo. They play bitter and dirty punk metal drenched in the stench of Poison Idea, Celtic Frost and High on Fire!
INDIE-ROCK/EXPERIMENTAL. "the living breathing organ summer" is the new full-length from Detroit's CHILD BITE. Like a perfectly balanced amphetamine drunk, "the living breathing organ summer" exudes euphoria, urgency, baseless paranoia and a mild sense of vertigo. With their most recent effort, CHILD BITE seems to have thrown caution to the wind - mashing their punk vigor with avant-garde ideals into a no-fluff sound that is both consistently danceable and.jpg)
SCREAMO-HARDCORE. After their split with HIRO, BRUME RETINA are back with a full-length by it's own. Expect a rawer sound that still manages to keep the melodic aspect that we know from the French emo/screamo-scene. BRUME RETINA is comparable to their french fellows in AUSSITOT MORT and DAITRO.
New Songs from Hombre Malo and Jack & The Bearded Fishermen. 
POST-ROCK/INSTRUMENTAL. "in never out" is the 2nd album from Sweden's instrumental/postrock band PG.LOST. An orchestra of heart, a playground for the long lost sporadic thoughts of giving in or getting back. PG.LOST is a band of many directions, but most of all a band throbbing with great melancholy grinding against the precious high hopes of not just individual human thinking and feeling, but also contrasts within pushing the sonic boundaries of endless instrumental experiments of prolonging.
HARDCORE. Marking the 2010 U.S. tour of Texas’s WORLD BURNS TO DEATH and Japan’s veteran hardcore band SLANG, this 7" combines 2 guitar driven blasts of hardcore fury. SLANG celebrate classic Japanese fast hardcore with devastating guitar driven breakdown. WORLD BURNS TO DEATH similarly continue to evolve from caustic bursts of corrosive thrashing to a tempered attack stitched by a melodic guitar riff and glued solid with torrential drum bashing, volatile guitar blasts and harsh vocals.afterpre.com
