SLAUGHTERGRAVE/WARPEACE - Split Tape - (Deathforce Records-Greece-2011)

Split Tape with Slaughtergrave (Grindcore band from Thessaloniki, Greece) and Warpeace (Crust punk band from Rome, Italy). Limited edition of 50 hand-numbered copies, printed in purple glossy paper. On the spine, the band Warpeace is mistakenly referred to as Warzone. So it states the split as Slaughtergrave / Warzone, which is obviously wrong. Enjoy it.

Tomoroh Hidari-The Black Star Variations-(Laridae-Austria-2011)

 In 2012, Tomoroh Hidari will release his light absorbing ambient monster "Some Stars Not Yet Black Holes" as double 12" on Record Label Records.

Due to the extreme mass of this project, laridae was able to utilize the caused divergency in space-time, to release the spin-off album "The Black Star Variations" even BEFORE its own source release.

So, we invite you to swap the Star of Betlehem with Hidari's Black Stars of dark ambient and wish you all a merry saturnalia!


"Tomoroh Hidari encapsulates its rugged outer shell composed of tethered wiring, low bass rumbling and an industrial pulse as it enriches the core with atmospheric and rhythm bending skills. Each derivation compliments the other as glitched life forms merge to the surface just as quickly as they dissipate. Originally intended for live adaptations, “The Black Star” collects itself and breaks down into five enriched pieces that are both mechanical and inspired in shape."

RIP IT UP! - To Start From Zero-(Self Released-France-2011)

Rip It Up is a band from Grenoble (France)! This is their demo released in 2011, they play a melodic yet powerful HC punk reminding me some amazing old school HC punk bands from the past.

I saw them live and they blew everybody away, a great live act. 

This cassette came out in a special cardboard package with a lyrics sheet. You can get it for free from their Bandcamp Page where you`ll find also the last album "Morbid Laws" released in 2019.

For all of you who are curious to see the nice and original package/cover sleeve and read the lyrics then you can get it here.

Enjoy it.

DEAFENESTRATION-Everything`s In The Red-(Self Released-Belgium-2011)

Another band from Liege (Belgium) with some members of the mighty Hiatus,here a little biography:

"Deafenestration started early 2010 with Phil and Azill playing with other people (who moved on to become local grind merchants Goat Vomit). For certain reasons lost in the mists of time, things didn't work. So David and Philthy were recruited as drummer and vocalist respectively. Practising began in June of that year in the deep bowels of La Zone, a local underground (pardon the pun) the venue here in Liege. The name was decided upon some months later and the legend began."

v.a.-Endorse It In Dorset Festival 2011-Vol 8-(Double Cd-Hogbitch-UK-2011)

Amazing double cd + small booklet with cool pics presenting the acts/bands playing at this cheerful festival in 2011.
I have posted the Vol 4 documenting the 2007 edition of the same festival.

This time the cd is double yet the recipe is almost the same, a lot of great musicians playing cow-punk, acid dub, crazy ska, punk rock, weird electronics, country&folk and more funny music to dance your body and soul.

Hogbitch seems to be the personal label by Pronghorn: an UK band that promote themselves as The Kings of Cow-punk since 1992. 
To complete this post I am attaching a video of Pronghorn live at this festival edition.
Enjoy it.

KRANIO-Monotonia-(Self Released-Italy-2011)

Kranio was a short lived anarco-punk band from Benevento (Southern Italy),as far as I know they only recorded this totally diy cd-r back in 2011.

They play a raw form of HC punk, singing about revolution,wars +

rage against this society and its injustice. 

My copy has a reversed inlay graphic layout, I wonder if this is just a mistake or if they printed it like this intentionally.

Enjoy it.
