v.a-‎SADOMACHINISM-(Misanthropic Agenda-USA-1999)‎

Great compilation assembling an astonishing number of powerful tunes by a bunch of fantastic artists playing noise, industrial, abstract and more weird electronics goings.
It was released in a limited edition of 500 copies in elaborate metal packaging. Aluminium shell sometimes embossed with the album title, sometimes not, it is sold out now.

 The American Misanthropic Agenda Experimental label was created in 1998 by the noise artist known as Gerritt. This amazing label is still alive and kicking and you can visit their well-done webpage here, where you can check their latest releases, catalogue and news.

Enjoy it.

WARNING N4-(Fanzine-USA-2007[?])

Issue 4 of this excellent American fanzine!
I have already posted the Number 1 and 2.

A zine for Punks and Thrashers focused on hardcore punk, politics and political punk.

Interesting interviews and articles, lots of pics and a very punk graphic layout.

Long and good interviews to a few crust punk bands, a Japanese HC Punk special, a critic article about media control and a few in-depth reviews.
All in all a very good effort and a great zine to browse.
Enjoy it.

v.a-Northern California Is A Noisey Place Indeed-(Sound Of Pig-c60-USA-1987)

Great compilation with a bunch of good artists playing some strange forms of experimental electronics and early industrial music.

Sound Of Pig was an American Industrial/Experimental/Electronic/Noise tape label run by Al Margolis in New York. Now defunct.

SOP Cassette Mail Order Catalogue featured hundreds of titles.
From the early 1980s through the '90s, Al Margolis earned the title "Cassette Godfather" with his Sound of Pig cassette label by releasing tapes and distributing them through growing DIY music underground.
Many of the tapes are still available via Pogus Production website.

Enjoy it.

THE MASS-Ghost Fleet-(Not On Label-USA-2016)

"Produced once again by Tim Green (THE FUCKING CHAMPS) at his Louder Studios compound in 2016, “Ghost Fleet” sees THE MASS taking their already inimitable sound into deeper levels of cohesion, aggression and dark psychedelia. The album is both the most accessible, song-oriented affair the group has ever put together and it's most intense, thought-provoking offering to date. Two and a half years in the making, “Ghost Fleet” represents THE MASS in its most vital state: focused, recharged and determined to push music beyond defined boundaries."

This introduction is taken from their Bandcamp Page where this amazing album is available as "name your price" download. It was released only as a digital release. A Discogs page about them is here. 

and their official webapge is here.

To complete this post I am attaching a nice review by Conan Neutron from that same Bandcamp page.
Enjoy it.
~f(a*r)a_w^a:y~

 "An absolute pummeling of epic proportions. Expect top-notch musicianship and absolutely no mercy is given. The Mass's stunning return could possibly be one of their very best. Difficult music for difficult people, and to be clear: I mean that as a compliment.
RIYL: Melvins, NoMeansNo, Breadwinner, Sweep The Leg Johnny, Naked City. Favorite track: Neuronic Channels Driven to Agitation."

DAWSON-Cheese Market-(Gruff Wit Records/ The Making Of Americans-UK/USA-1994)

This is an enormous cd including the first 2 albums: "Barf Market : You're Ontae Plums" and  " How To Follow So That Others Will Willingly Lead (Oh My Godley And Creme Cheese)" by this amazing Glasgow based band active in the early 90s.

Compared to names such as Butthole Surfers and Minutemen, Dawson throws in their songs sheer violence and electric energy mixing some avant-guard fast chaotic guitars riffs, math rhythms, weird vocals and experimental jingles that make their music original and difficult to categorize.

Coming out from the very lively Noize Post Hardcore punk scene from the end of last century, they shared common interests and sweats with Stretchheads, Whirling Pig Dervish and  Archbishop Kebab, all very original bands hailing from Scotland. 

An FB page about them is here, where you can see old flyers and pics, a new band formed by the 3rd era Dawson musicians is called Sumshapes and their Bandcamp page is here  , you can listen/buy their album Cabin Biscuits released June 30, 2017.
This is another great gift as FLAC files coming from my friend Dante, my gratitude to him for his help and support.
Enjoy it.

DIFEKTO-Detrimento-(SIn Fronteras Records-USA-199?)

JIHAD-Gods Forsaken People...-(Schema Recs-USA-1995)

Astonishing  7 inch by this hardcore band from Kalamazoo, Michigan that was around from 1994-1997. 

4 violent tracks of HC Punk well played and recorded, this ep came out with a 20pages booklet that is, unfortunately, not included here.

Enjoy their incredible music.

EMBERS-Memoria Eeterna-(Not On Label-USA-2007)

Embers was a doom / black metal band with Crust edges from Oakland, California, USA.

This seems to be their very first production, a CD ep with 5 powerful tracks mixing some trash/death metal with some crust/doom punk.

Very well played and recorded this production has astonishing drawings/graphics reporting the lyrics too. The whole album is dedicated to a friend called Dominik.
It seems that they are not active any longer, on their Bandcamp Page you`ll find 2 more albums, strange enough this one is not there.
Enjoy it.

HEADACHE-Discography-(Life Is Abuse-USA-2005)

Full cd with complete discography by this rather bizarre band from Leeds, although most of them were actually foreigners, nevermind a nationality Headache forged a music that is difficult to describe. 

Deviated, psychotic, broken rhythms, crazy vocals, weird lyrics, deranged passages and hilarious changes of song`s structures are all the ingredients for their rather strange music`s recipe yet we can call it HC Punk..., maybe. 

This great cd comes with a long booklet reporting lyrics and weird graphics-work drawings by Birdy,(the drummer)!

As far as I know, after they split up Titi` and Max formed Jmen Fous in Lausanne (Switzerland).

Life Is Abuse is a label active since 1992, although their official webpage is still on they are no longer trading, selling or releasing new material.

Enjoy this amazing cd.

REQUIEM-Storm Heaven-(CrimethInc-USA-2005)

Requiem is an American anarchist hardcore punk band founded by ex-members of Catharsis.
In this full-length album, they play a furious form of HC punk mixing various influences. This cd comes in a beautiful booklet reporting ideas and lyrics, the cover sleeve is actually a stencil...

A very good production by the legendary Crimethink: a label that started in the mid-1990s, the CrimethInc. Ex-Workers' Collective (CWC) is a decentralized publisher of anarchist and alternate lifestyle ideas in literature, music, and video. No copyrights.

The label originally released titles as Inside Front Records, having its origins in the Inside Front hardcore fanzine. Their actual webpage is here.

Enjoy it.
