Mangled is Gianfranco Santoro, owner of Discipline Produzioni and FinalMuzik. I wrote about Discipline Produzioni a few times now.
V.I.T.R.I.O.L was an obscure Italian cassette label run by Devis Granziera.
Cassettes 1 through 10 on the label were limited to 30 numbered copies each. All were packaged in a special package with insert. Cassette 11 could only be obtained by mailing in the vouchers from the inserts of the first ten cassettes. 
The year of release is not stated anywhere, this production came
in a cardboard box; inside there is a female sanitary napkin which protects the cassette.
Also contains a rose paper sheet with data and a voucher for another V.I.T.R.I.O.L cassette. 
Enjoy it.

Humor Cáustico-Ao Vivo-Gaia Em Peso(2005)-(Self Released-Portugal-2005)

Humor Cáustico was an HC Punk band from Oporto(Portugal) active last decade, I m  not sure if the music and images here were ever released as a  proper production, in fact, Rodolfo(the guitarist) passed these files to me as mp3s on a disk probably 13 years ago, since then I have lost touch with him.
Humor Cáustico appears to be on a very old Portuguese compilation called Portugal Indio that I posted back in 2014, it seems to be the same band. 
In these live recordings, we can listen to 12 well-recorded tracks of furious HC Punk with political lyrics sung in the Portuguese language. 
I add some pics that were included with these files.
A big thanks to Rodolfo for this nice digital gift. 
Enjoy it.

WARNING Vol 3-(Fanzine-USA-2006)

Number 3 of this amazing American fanzine, it is been already covered in this blog with Number 1 and 2. and number 4.
The people making it used to call it "A zine for Punks and Thrashers focused on hardcore punk, politics, and political punk."
In this issue long and interesting interviews to Broken Bones, Aghast, Deathcharge, Mishap + a few info about other bands, some political messages, cool pictures, and the usual very crust-punk graphic layout.
Enjoy it.

Illusion Of Safety · Life Garden · Voice Of Eye ‎– The Nature Of Sand - (Manifold Records-USA-1995)

Since 1983 Illusion Of Safety has been the ongoing project of Daniel Burke, working alone and with various collaborators. They have released over 20 CDs on labels such as Complacency, Die Stadt, Experimedia, Odd Size, Silent, Soleilmoon, Staalplaat, Tesco, and Waystyx, and played over three hundred concerts in Europe and North America. IOS' work has been called ambient, post-industrial, electro-acoustic, noise, sound-collage, improvisation, and power electronics, but they are unwilling to limit their work to any given style or method. The sonic character and affective substance of the music will often shift abruptly within each  recording and live performance. 
Life Garden was formed in 1989 from the ashes of Maybe Mental whose two core members were David and Su Ling Oliphant. They invited poet George Dillon to the group, but tragically he passed away by the time when they released their debut "Caught Between the Tapestry of Silence and Beauty" (1991). Subsequently, Life Garden added Peter Ragan and Bill Yanok, who eventually departed in 1995. Life Garden broke up in 1999.
 Voice Of Eye is the duo of Bonnie McNairn and Jim Wilson who began working together when Bonnie joined the avantgarde ensemble Cruor based in Houston (Texas). After Ure Thrall left Cruor, the other members continued on as the noise/industrial combo Esoterica Landscapes 7, eventually paring down to Bonnie and Jim who then changed the name to voice Of Eye. In the early 1990s, they collaborated with Ure Thrall's Terminus (2) project and recorded and performed as part of the short lived ensemble Asianova. (all the info ffrom Discogs)click me

v.a.-They Ain`t Seen Nothing Yet!!!-(Nabate-Belgium-1991)

A benefit compilation for the Poll-Tax prisoners (for demonstrating against the tax or not having paid).
The Poll-Tax was a particularly vicious tax introduced by Margaret Thatcher's government in the UK. Millionnaire living in mansion pays less in poll-tax than a low-income family in a small house. No other modern democracy has ever introduced a tax that takes no account to the ability to pay.
The London Poll-Tax Riot took place on March 31, 1990. 

It was released July 7, 1991, at 1548 copies.
I think the DREADFUL song is probably one of the most bizarre tracks Nabate has ever released, not only because they mixed grind-core with reggae-dub. DREADFUL was a combo hailing from Glasgow and was famous for never rehearsing and I think we can hear it on the recording; -b! Nevertheless, I think it was a good idea to do those punk/dub experimentations. (from Nabate blog)

Nabate was a DIY punk/hardcore label from Liege, Belgium. Founded in 1986 by Al Plastic and Manu (29) as an anarchist infoshop/bookstore and operated until 2000. click me

Under The Oak was a British fanzine focused on heavy and doom metal. This is the first issue featuring interviews to Hellbastard, Saint Vitus,  Mercy, Destiny, Brocas Helm, Solitude Aeternus + lots of music reviews and some cool pics/graphics.
A very good independent publication searching the true spirit of heavy metal fans and maniacs.
 Here the editorial.
