We are happy to say we can finally start the PROP 013 pre-order. It’s a digipack CD of WAR//PLAGUES’ latest LP “Into the Depths” + their 2014 EP “Temperaments of War” as bonus. Treat yourself to 14 tracks of pure Minneapolis crust punk with a metal edge. Digitally here and on a CD from our...
We owe you a PROP 013 release info. This is WAR//PLAGUE – Into the Depths + Temperaments of War EP, two killer records on one CD. Released still in 2020. Already a classic and by some regarded as the best crust album in 2018/2019, “Into the Depths” is a thoroughly planned and cold-bloodedly executed crust...
And already at the pressing plant. The very first album, original mixed in 1993 by Don Fury is now remastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. The terrorizing 34-track blistercore classic from ’93 will be reissued and sounding as putrid as the day it was killed. Thirty-four songs of pulverizing political hate, social disgust, and personal...
Time to review another release from FUCK IT I QUIT. I remember writing about their EP on Refuse Records here and being quite surprised by the powerful hardcore I heard on this wee record styled in CRASS symbolism. So when I got the copy of their debut LP again on Refuse Records but this time...
Carbonized Records from San Jose, California are back with another fine release. We reviewed their great package from hardcore outfit ISOTOPE here, but this time it’s a different kind of noise. HALLUCINATOR are from Oakland, USA and started in 2014 when a few guys wanted to play fast death metal. Fair enough. One thing...
Released yesterday on vinyl by Dark Operative. BLEACH EVERYTHING is another band from Richmond, US reviewed this week. Having heard their previous EPs I eagerly picked up this release with high expectations. No disappointments. Heavily produced hardcore punk with metal-ish guitars, solid bass and slightly distorted vocals represent the present state of arts for...
What a nice wee surprise from Refuse Records. NO-HEADS are from Richmond and continue to do what the classics like Mad Parade from Los Angeles or The Trouble from Boston had started. They mix street punk with hardcore. Not a brand new recipe from a great music to listen, dance or run to....
Another fine release from War Records run by a STRIFE member. This time it’s FIXATION from Philadelphia. And yet again, another portion of very fast 4 hardcore songs in under 5 minutes. INFEST fans take notice. It’s ripping, dirty and with great tempo changes characteristic to the genre, where bass guitar comes into foreground...
BERTHOLD CITY are a fairly new band (2017) based in Los Angeles and consist of members from Strife, World Be Free, Internal Affairs and Allegiance, so you already know what to expect. “What Time Takes” is their second 7” after the debut one entitled “Moment of Truth”. “What Time Takes” takes the band a...
DROPDEAD have just released their 2019 demo that announces their forthcoming LP later this/next year. The band also needs your help after their van was stolen, so best would be if you go to their bandcamp now, buy the demo, or go to their march site and get some of their great tees or...
From California, COLD CURSE were formed in 2013, so quite a while ago, and so far have managed to self-release “Oblivion” EP and a demo tape. This 7” is their first proper release on a label (Creator-Destructor Records) and consists of 4 brilliant tracks that blend d-beat with blasts, death metal and thrash metal...
When I first heard this album, and I admit, this was my first encounter with the band, I was literally on my knees looking for my jaw. It’s that good. Shame ISOTOPE is so unknown in Europe and this album is probably impossible to get hold of here. And buying it from the band...
Favourited by SANCTUS PROPAGANDA Boston doom metal crust, MORNE (interview and review) release a 5 track digital recording of their Jan 26 live in Brooklyn, NY entitled “I.XXVI.MMXIX”. Recorded by Fred Estby from DISMEMBER it captures the energy and spirit MORNE deliver live. Choose from 5 tracks, most taken from MORNE’s newest album entitled “To...
What do you expect from a cover with stencil letters laid out in a circle, straight from Crass Records covers? And then the booklet with more Crass stencils and short and to the point lyrics on rape culture, American imperialism, and animal abuse? No, not an anarcho punk band from UK. FUCK IT I...
Tom Rusnak is a hardcore punk globetrotter actively co-creating names like RORSCHACH and AMBUSH but also having an episode in POSION IDEA. Perfect guy to talk about past and the bands in question. The interview was originally conducted for CHAOS IN MY HEAD zine #17. Cheers to Kuba and Bocian for making it happen. SP:...
