Партия ‎– Панк - Моя Жизнь! -(Примитив-Дистро-Belarus-2003)

This is the first demo by this band from Belarus, in this cassette they play a raw form of punk rock while in their other releases they play crust/grind. The name of the band is PartiYa and this cassette is titled "Punk Is My Life".
"PARTiYA was formed in Minsk (Belarus) in September 2000. 
We are
playing crusty punk. Now it is more and more crust with elements of
grind. At first, there were 3 guys in the band, starting the autumn
2015 there are 6 members."
Primitive distro blog has lots of info(English and Cyrillic languages) about them, please go here to read more, watch lots of videos and get the rest of their long discography as free download.
Their Bandcamp page is here and a Discogs page here
To finish this post I am attaching an old video with a song from this tape. 
A very big THANX to my friend Al-Maytatu L-Habithu for all the translations, info and links and eventually to Ben of Raising Hell zine for borrowing me this tape a long time ago.

Book Of Delights,The Sex Maniac`s Ball & Erotic Awards-Enjoyment,Respect & Etiquette-(Booklet-Sexual Freedom Coaliton-UK-2003)

I spoke already about Sexual Freedom Coalition when I posted Their annual Report 96/97.
For who missed that post then:"The Sexual Freedom Coalition (SFC) is a pro-sex campaign organization and political pressure group based in the United Kingdom that challenges the laws which take away the sexual freedoms of consenting adults and also challenges the media and official bodies that show disrespect for sex.
The Sexual Freedom Coalition is a national UK voluntary organization whose aim is to campaign for sensible reform of Britain's antiquated and repressive laws concerning consensual sexual practice between consenting adults and ensure no new laws creep in to prevent consenting adults enjoying sexual freedom.
The Sexual Freedom Coalition was formed in April 1996 by a group of people who decided that sex clubs such as Whiplash should not be raided and the 10th Sex Maniac's Charity Ball should not have been stopped by the police, putting its charity at financial risk.
A march was organized starting in Soho and ending at 10 Downing Street where a petition "Sex Please We're British" was presented to the Prime Minister.
Since then, there have been many triumphs and the phrase "the sexual freedom of consenting adults" has become commonly used. The SFC is consulted by the Home Office and the press and is unique in the world. They have joined together with Outsiders and the Erotic Awards to hold conferences and events to allow campaigners to network and work together.
They are a member of Backlash, which was formed in 2005 in order to oppose a new law criminalizing possession of "extreme pornography". (from Wikipedia)
This is the booklet they were giving away at the people taking part in their Sex Maniac Ball in 2003, very interesting indeed... 
Here their webpage:official webpage sexual freedom coalition.
Enjoy it.

FISK INDUSTRIES-The Isle Of Wight EP-(Highpoint Lowlife-UK-2003)

The real name behind this project is Mat Ranson. Fisk Industries plays a good downtempo and IDM.
This ep offers us 6 nice tracks and it was released in 2003.
Active between 2001 and 2011, Highpoint Lowlife used to be a London based record label enthused about all forms of new sound. Their releases ranged from a glacial drone and engulfing digital sprawls through to half-step bass heavy hip-hop, head nodding distorted noise, and anything else that doesn’t sound quite right! (all the info from Discogs)
Enjoy it.

Zine World n.18-A Reader`s Guide To The Underground Press-(Fanzine-Usa-2003)

"Zine World: A Reader's Guide to the Underground Press was an independent publication which covers independent and underground media. It was the largest review zine being published in the United States throughout the late 2000s. It reviewed mostly zines, but also books, comics, newsletters, videos and spoken word recordings. The material it covered was generally available directly from the publishers, and each review included ordering information and other specifics (such as whether or not the item is free to prisoners, or the publisher's trade policy). Its news section covered free speech issues, and other topics of interest to the independent publishing community. It also included a word of mouth section, with reports on distros and stores, zine libraries, other review zines, and publishing resources. It published columns by Karl Wenclas, Jeff Somers, Grant Schreiber, Christoph Meyer, Gianni Simone, and other prominent underground writers. It featured illustrations by Alan Lastufka, Sue Clancy, Violet Jones, Cole Johnson, Mike Twohig, and a wide variety of other indie artists.
The zine was launched as Zine World in 1996 by Doug Holland as a more opinionated alternative to Factsheet Five, but has continued publishing since its larger competitor's disappearance in 1998. In 1999, it changed its name to A Reader's Guide to the Underground Press, and began using both names in 2003. It was once widely decried (in its own letters section, on the Usenet group alt.zines, and elsewhere) for running gratuitously negative reviews (particularly from departed contributor Joe Gallo), but is now less controversial. It now publishes roughly three times a year. After Holland stepped down in 2000, Jerianne Thompson became editor/publisher and supervised the all-volunteer staff. The final issue, #31, was published in 2012.
The review staff included: Ailecia Ruscin, Andrew Mall, Chantel G., clint johns, Dann Lennard, Emerson Dameron, e.war, Jaina A Davis, Heath Row, Laura-Marie Taylor, Ryan Mishap, Susan Boren, and Tom Hendricks. Past reviewers include: Alan Lastufka, artnoose, Fred Wright, Jason Koivu, Jeff Kay, Joe Biel, Joe Smith, Kyle Bravo, Marc Parker, Michael Jackman (also former news editor), Stephanie Webb, and Violet Jones."
(from Zinewiki)
This is a great fanzine full of info about the underground press of the  late 90s and early 2000.This issue has a brilliant cover sleeve.Enjoy it.

Hiskias Möttö & Mojakka-Kotistereokasetti-(Kaupalliset Levyt-Finland-2003)

Hiskias Möttö & Mojakka is a band haling from Finland!They play folk music from their own country,all the info in the cover sleeve are in finnish,therefore I have little knowledge about them. 
I don`t know if those songs are classic finnish folk songs or if are their own compositions,I think so but...and please do not ask me what they are singing about.
The recording is pretty good,a discogs page about them is here
yet  there are no relevant info about them.
If you are into folk and polka then you`ll like this one.
Enjoy it.

DIONONESISTE-Voicinferi-(Cdr-Self Released-Italy-2003)

Diononesiste means "God doesn`t exist",it is a black metal project by  Daniele Brusaschetto,an artist from Torino (Northern Italy) active,using his real name,in the electronic/industrial scene since the mid 90s.
This ep on cd-r is black metal with a lots of 80s influences,here the description from his bandcamp page where this album is not listed.

"Atmospheric Blackened Death from the catacombs of Turin. A unique one man act that rips up the book on the Death Metal by numbers shit with many unexpected twist and turns. Completed with a putrid and cavernous production that puts over produced and sanitized so called “Death Metal” back in the pop charts where it belongs"
Enjoy it.

HATTEMACHIN*-Rage Against The Matrix-(Mini CD-Self Released-UK-2003)

Hattemachin* is a portuguese project playing a violent and well done form of EBM,included in this mini cd there is a nice cover of the famous Sonic Reducer by The dead Boys.
"The machin* was first designed in 1997. Shape was given to the first prototype. The virus was released amongst mankind in search of revolution or mass destruction. Fighting evil with evil, to build an empire and raise the age of chaos, the darkside and anarchy must come together. Tests were made and results started to appear in riotous ways by 1999. 2003 - The Machin* was carefully re-designed, rebuilt and reprogrammed, in order to improve and develop the impact of actions." this is a quote they wrote on this page and here their lastfm page.On both pages this mini cd is not listed,I kind of recall they were living in London in the early 2000.A very good minicd  for the lovers of  electro industrial music.
