THE HORROR / WAR ALL THE TIME split EP
on zandor records but i have loads of copies. North meets North . Fast furious proper angry uk hardcore punk by numerous 'ex members of..
'blah blah blah blahwhatever.

This review doesn't need writing. If you're looking at a website that dabbles in hardcore and you don't know who the fucking Horror are, then you're beyond help and should shoot yourself in the face now. They're ex-Voorhees (heard of them?) with the singer from Imbalance (if you've not heard of them, that's understandable though equally if not more annoying) and play fucking great fast and shouty hardcore with a distinct rock 'n' roll feel as you might expect from old men who've been at it for years and should know better but luckily don't. Sweet. War All The Time win it for me though. Whereas The Horror aren't averse to chucking in the odd solo, have intros and outros and sometimes slip in some singalong bits, WATT are the purest hardcore hit I've heard in years. Stripped-down and to the fucking point, they really show how much can be done with so few ingredients. So utterly simple, so brutally direct, this is exactly what hardcore should be like. It's totally zen man. Plus is there a song about Thatcher in there? Jesus. Further proof that no one under the age of 30 (or should that be 40?!?!) should be in a band. - kunal, collective zine

BOXED IN - '2001 - 2005' Discography CD
37 slices of pure fury, everything we ever recorded, all 4 black vinyl records - the LP, 3 EP's, (the 1st ep is remastered) and compilation tracks, comes with booklet with lyrics, explanations and other junk, 'this band was made up of ex members of every band you saw in sweaty squats and pubs around the UK over the last 2 decades . Ferocious stuff lies within, the musical experience akin to being knocked about the face and neck with a hammer, with depressing lyrics about the world going down the pan, - utterly raging!

Here are some reviews:

LP: High-powered hardcore from UK band Boxed In, Manic tirades with a whirlwind of guitar/bass/drums clamor and vocals struggling to be heard over the fray. Not too happy with the state of the world—“Too Many Dead,” for instance, discusses the inevitable deaths of innocent civilians (aka ‘collateral damage’) during warfare and that’s certainly been the case in Iraq, to name one recent conflict. Musically, inspired by the likes of SIEGE and UK forebears HERESY, RIPCORD , etc. Almost all fast ‘n ripping, except for the closing track “They Live Again" played at a sturdy, heavy pace and the effect is crunching. Aural devastation. (Suburban Voice)

1st EP: 'I saw these the other week and they blew my arse away! Boy, these are fucking hardcore - hardcore as it used to be played in the 80's. No metal / grind or new school trollop what-so-ever, this is simply fast thrashing in ya fuckin' face take no prisoners hardcorepunk. Bands like PANDEMONIUM, HEIBEL, LARM, BGK and the best of the best 80's hardcore bands can eat their hearts out, Boxed In are today's forerunners for 'real' hardcore! My fave band to come from these shores in a fuckin' long time. (Hell and Damnation)

2nd ep: Fucking hell, this is simply amazing fast-as-fuck, pure and simple unadulterated hardcore punk. Pissed as fuck, raw, blistering rage. Everything about this record is simply perfect - the drums, the guitar tone, the lyrics, the fucking Mellakka cover - fuck. Boxed In are a shining example of a band learning from and combining the finer elements of classic bands like Varukers, BGK, Ripcord and the like then taking it and creating something totally fresh and powerful.(?)

3rd Ep: 'This ep is their most powerful and angriest to date, totally solid quality non-stop fast 80s-style euro hardcore, everything is on eleven on these seven songs.' (Flo)

This is the final release for Flat Earth Recs, with help from Crime Scene, Fabric 77, Push Down and Turn.

PLEASANT VALLEY CHILDREN - Discography CD
Awesome damaged, Flag-influenced painjazzcore racket! everything we recorded on one handy disc.
Incredible twisted mindfuck music, thats what Sam Mc Pheeters said anyway, we need some review blurb here to let you know how good this is! "Out of the barren wastelands of the late-80s/ early-90s, came PLEASANT VALLEY CHILDREN, unique both sonically and lyrically, a warped collision between early BLACK FLAG, early RUDIMENTARY PENI, and vintage BORN AGAINST. Included are some great critical reflections on the world around us, which are just as relevant now, as they were then. You’ve got one chance, and one chance only, to own everything this band ever did, or live in regret for eternity." Andy Shocker, PUNK SHOCKER FANZINE, briefly out of retirement

- includes:
'Fuck Kill Destroy' LP,
'What the World Needs Now' EP,
'Who Needs Love to Have any Fun' Tape,
compilation tracks and nuff unreleased extras - 40 songs, all remastered, 28 page booklet with cool artwork and writings.

JOHN HOLMES   'El Louso Suavo'  LP
" I'd heard JOHN HOLMES were pretty chaotic, but this is far from that, it's just the heaviest fucking metal around. Sure, it has plenty of twists, off-kilter inserts and even viciously funky bass runs, but at its core are just pure metal roots that have mutated into an incredible pummeling sound, packed with enough grooves and crushing power to floor you. The dual vocals alternately growl and scream the bleakest of lyrics, soaked in a bitter negativity that suit the sound of JOHN HOLMES to a tee.

Johnholmes - Antidepressantes

HEADACHE - 'Live in Slovenia' - CD-R
HEADACHE were always about doing it live, top quality live set from their final tour, twisted shit - loved or hated with very little inbetween opinion. I love them and miss them.

KITO - 'The Long Player'  LP
"Flat Earth records have a reputation second to none where the provision of quality hardcore is concerned, and Kito are among the finest outfits to have risen in association with the label. Occupying the exact point where anarcho punk meets sludgecore, Kito unleash an unshakable barrage of guitars that pin you to the wall with the force of a 15 ton juggernaut. Rhythms come doused in brutality, riffs are delivered straight from the gut, and the whole thing is wrapped up so tightly it's a wonder the musicians aren't starved of oxygen. All of which adds up to one potent slab of vinyl." KERRANG

SOLANKI - 'BUZZ OR HOWL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LEEDS 6' - 10"
"SOLANKI are almost like a homage to the MINUTEMEN, and the fact that they've been able to pull it off with ease is high praise in itself. Spread across these 10 inches is 13 tracks of incredibly tight and jazzy punk, sitting squarely in D.Boon territory and it's just awesome! Haring along at a crazy pace, tight and controlled, yet chaotic and flowing at the same time. Remember when you first heard the MINUTEMEN's "Double Nickles on the Dime"? Buy this and relive that moment. Just fucking great! " FRACTURE This record is the MINUTEMEN and the BIG BOYS playing your backyard BBQ and skate jam. This record is fun." MRR

BLUE = NEW!

ATOMGEVITTER / EASPA MEASA (SCO / IRE) dead good of course!
DEAD IN THE WATER (FIN) Crushing hardcore from Finland that appears to take influence from bands like Tragedy, except they have a bit more of a grind element in their music. Loud sweeping guitars, pounding drums and low guttural vocals. The pace of the music varies some, with a few fast energetic moments. But most of it is slowed down heavy stuff. This is dark and brutal, Loose comparisons to His Hero is Gone are unavoidable
FAREWELL TO ARMS - 'A Watered Down Version of Everything' (UK) 10 storming tracks
GIVE UP ALL HOPE (UK) international crust punk based in london, ex boxed in and nailbiter amongst others..
IMPERIAL LEATHER - 'Antibodies' EP - Four new songs with the new and improved Imperial Leather line-up, playing their hallmark style of rip-roaring punk rock'n'roll that's catchy as all hell.
KARMA PAYMENT PLAN / TRIAC (U.S) K P P - jumping from hardcore/punk to straight grind to dissonant metal and hints at chaotic metalcore. Triac are vicious grindcore with forceful tempo changes that are really intense and dynamic. The recording is even heavier here than it was on their split with Medic.
KONTORTION - 'Breed into nothing' (U.S) Slap a Ham style HC, Metallic guitars paired with gut wrenching screams.
SHUT THE FUCK UP / THE RATS (GER / SWE)
SODOMIZED BY MARCIA BRADY (U.S) Eight brutal songs from this mysterious new Florida hardcore powerhouse. Song titles include "No Butt Lube For You" and "George Bush's Daughters Need Discipline." 100% HARDCORE! NOT FOR WIMPS!
WAR ALL THE TIME / WHOLE IN THE HEAD (UK) North East meets South Coast. Nine blast of furious UK hardcore punk. Featuring ex members of Kito, Boxed In, Health Hazard, Minute Manifesto, Haywire, No Substance and Sawn Off amongst others. This Rips from start to finish and is a worthy addition to your shoe box.

DEBRIS - tentwo (SCO) power and melody from ex Disaffect, Quarantine folk
HIGHSCORE (GER) if you like your youth crew fast and energetic, you'll love HIGHSCORE. They play HC not unlike the Crucial Response style bands, but a shitload faster
INNOXIA CORPORA - ' Kcertu'(CZ) high energy hardcore punk, fucking great band who have their own unique style
MIGRA VIOLENTA - 'Holocausto Capitalista' (ARGENTINA) Migra Violenta sounds more brutal and fast than ever, there's even a slight touch of crust on some titles. Migra Violenta hates capitalism, the mass-murder of the world, and there's no doubt about that when you hear them. this is breakneck hardcore in a style that falls somewhere between Dropdead and Los Crudos. the lyrics are extremely political and bluntly to the point (English translations are provided) and are screamed with the utmost of urgency. This is cutting edge, pissed-off, punk rock that certainly pushed the boundaries in more ways than one!
MURDER SUICIDE PACT (U.S) straight up obnoxious hardcore - ex FAILURE FACE
OROKU (U.S) Goddamn, OROKU really brings it with some crushing metallic crust. It alternately reminds me of WAKE UP ON FIRE and NEUROSIS. There are also these slow dark spaces within this record where it is mostly cello and it’s really beautiful and haunting, a little bit like OPETH. The overall political sentiment of the record can be summed up by a few choice song titles, “Disgust for Mankind,” “Meaningless,” “Terror,” and “The End is Near.” This is exactly the metal I want right now: it’s heavy, it’s dark and it’s punk. Fuck Yeah.



ANIHILATED 'Path to Destruction' (UK) japan reissue of 80's UK crossover raw thrash, cover art my Mid, remastered with extra earlier demo and live tracks.
ARMY OF FLYING ROBOTS - 'Life is Cheap' (UK) This is the brand new album from one of the best thrash hardcore bands in the UK! Super-fast drumming, harsh atonal riffs and deadly screams!
ASS -'Sink' CD EP (£3ppd) Five new tracks from the the snottiest DIY punk band in Minneapolis, whose message screams to be proud to be different, proud to Queer and be proud of non-conformist. Musically they play raw punk rock that would have fit in well with early 90's East Bay bands such as BLATZ and FILTH, playing rousing scream-along anthems. Four of the songs are originals, while the final song is an appropriate cover of FAGGATRON's classic Ass-Kick-a-Tron.
A WARM GUN - 'panic in the face of time (U.S) Baltimore, MD's mad thrashers coming at you with 13 tracks of brutal, pounding hardcorepunk.
BLACK HAND, THE - 'War monger' (CAN) cover art by Away (Voivod)
BLACK UNIFORMS - 'Splatter Punx on Acid' (SWE) Classic Swedish Hardcore / Punk, with members of Moderat Likvidation, Anti Cimex, The Perukers, and Driller Killer! This is a compilation of the band's Back from the Grave (1986) and Horror Holocaust (1987) demos, plus many rare and previously unreleased tracks, and most of the songs from the Faces of Death" album (1989).
BRAIN RESIN - 'Unreality Remains' (AUSTRALIA) This is like a strange collision of GRIEF, ISIS and THE SWING KIDS!! It wanders all over the place and occasionally touches base with some metal sensibilities, but the off-the-wall fumblings and guitar twiddles are what makes it so cool. Its refreshing to hear a band explore their instuments like this and spread out a bit rather than confining their songs to two minute blasts of chaos check it out if you don’t mind your hardcore wandering off from the rulebook.
DEATHSKULLS - 'The Real Deal' (UK) Poison Idea meets Negative approach in Essex.
DRUGS OF FAITH (U.S)the power trio that is Drugs Of Faith breaks out with their debut official release, founded by an Enemy Soil original member, bashes through its hardcore rock fused with grindcore songs utilizing dissonant chords and opposition bass, frontal attack drums, and lyrics covering the personal as well as the political landscape brought out by dynamic vocals. Focused yet a challenge to categorize, Drugs Of Faith carpet bombs the listener with its innovative, stylistic mix. Mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer / Agoraphobic Nosebleed) at Visceral Sound.
FUCKING CHAMPS, THE - '3' (U.S) the champs are awesome, no discussion, and this is their best album in my humble opinion.
GERIATRIC UNIT -’Nuclear Accidents’ (UK) Old Fast Loud Rules! GU feature former members of Heresy, Iron Monkey and Hard to Swallow and play hardcore punk. This is not some nod to the eighties inspired rehash, these guys fucking invented it! Raw, Real, and the antidote to all the drivel you’ve had to endure that’s been masquerading as hardcore in recent years.
HELLCHILD - 'Bareskin' (JAP) second album from the kings of groove-grind, unbelievebly underrated! the deep growls are unique and powerful and the lyrics are thoughtful rather than gored over. Kreator, Napalm Death and Disassociate, metallic riffage to sample induced mayhem.
HELLCHILD - 'Circulating Contradiction' (JAP) Japan’s gods of moshing Thrash/Violence, 10 bombs up your ass. A must
HEY COLOSSUS - 'II' (UK) Opener 'Red Giant' swaggers along (mostly on one chord) with the force of a herd of mastodon, while 'Vengeance' is a spiteful, jagged slice of sludge-hardcore issued from the same vein as Unsane. But it's not all bulky jams, 'Take It' is more of a post-hardcore experiment that seems slightly out of place next to the valve amp reverberations of 'Europa'
HIPPIES OF TODAY (FRA) - fast hardcore mixed with grind, crust, punk and metal influencies which was recorded very well with ex-Soar and Season people. One of the best french bands.
INSTITUTE - '2 Shadows' (U.S) YES we love this release! isn´t crust or fast hc - is more like NEUROSIS sound... you like Neurosis - you´ll love them. for us is this total apocalyptic sound. feat. ex.DAMAD.
KEITZER -'suicide anthology' (GER) fucking hell, the CD rocks! if you like Mörser or Systral from Germany, check KEITZER out, they want rock you!
KRUPSKAYA - 'Clouds over Pripyat' (UK) Krupskaya play an extremely unique blend of violent grindcore with experimental, hardcore and noise influences. They are unique to the point that its almost impossible to associate their sound with any preceding band – or to identify any major musical influences. Songs are structured in an absolutely erratic fashion – filled with noisy guitar riffs, pounding double kicks and sporadic blast beats, with vocals constantly screaming in the background in an insane torrent of total fucking chaos.
MIND POLLUTION (POL) dark, heavy and slow crust punk, like old Neurosis, nice lookin digipack.
POOCHLATZ 'victims of self preservation' (ISRAEL) Ambient / Experimental / Industrial like prurient/ wolf eyes
POUNDAFLESH - "Manifesto" (UK) a healthy dose of kinda simple, but always swift, straightforward and entirely urgent, wholly pissed off hardcorepunk which consists of a gruff singer who spits out gallons of venomous poison.
PROCESS, THE - "The Kennedy Sessions" (SCO) - Former/current members of In Decades Decline, Shank, Scatha & Atomgevitter, among others. Stripped down, to the point heavy hardcore, drawing influences from Ringworm, early Integrity, Damnation AD and Cursed.
RECHARGE - 'Menschen, Hass, Vernichtung' (GER) it’s the german discharge!
SELFISH - 'Cry for Love, Cry for Death - the EP's' (FIN) This is a collection of remastered tracks from some of this Finnish hardcore band's out of print vinyl material as well as some compilation tracks. These guys make no effort to hide their love of Japanese hardcore, and that admiration definitely shows through in their own sound, though to me they definitely don't sound like a copy of any of the Japanese bands that I've heard. It's a good mix of the straight Discharge sound and the blazing solos of the Japanese spectrum, but there are some creative riffs in between as well.
SPAZM 151 (U.S) These Texans blaze through 13 tracks of fucking classic hardcore/punk in barely over 20 minutes with tons of energy and a great multi vocal attack. The songs are the perfect blend of pissed off hardcore and punk rock as well, taking the attitude and slight catchiness of the latter and blending it with the pure aggression and speed of the former. There's even a thrashy crossover feel in a couple of the tracks. Plus there are some totally reckless lead breaks to boot. You can't lose! They even close out with two raging covers: "Build Me a Bomb" by Jerry's Kids and "I Hate Myself" by The Offenders.
UNSUNG - 'Nail in the Hand of Christ' (ITA) One group that does not stop when faced with bariere taxes of musical genres. Looking for something to say while moving up purely territories and heavy metal. Slowdowns abrupt and sudden accelerations, moshate fears and grindate With all the words intelligent and personal. These are but only three percent make it! political words singed on earthquake of mosh/grind/heavy music! very heavy suond (wall of noise!)
ZEROID - '2001 - 2002' (GER) From the ashes of Jeniger, Akephal and Asmodinas Leichenhaus comes this hamburg based bunch of crazy noise merchants. This was their first release, killer sound, heavy, intense and chaotic hardcore with a dark and gloomy feeling that absolutely doesn*t fit into the “easy listening” file. Fuck the clichés here are Zeroid. Packed in special heavyweight artwork. The second release from these brutal noise merchants. 8 killer HC songs in midtempo mayhem. Dark, hypnotic music which reminds of Uranus, Damad or Neurosis.Rough but fat production that pushes the stunning grooves and melancholic melodies that shine through here and there.

V/A - Gaidhlig Na Lasair' - 15 song 4 way split CD of underground music all sung in scots gaelic, exclusive tracks from OI POLLOI, MILL A H-UILE RUD, ATOMGEVITTER and NAD ASLINGEAN
