[engl] Three decades ago, before the music industry began to colonize it, the do-it-yourself underground was a space of exodus and experimentation, often in violent opposition to the rest of the world. This was the context in which Catharsis appeared, one of a new wave of bands to meld metal drama with the raw urgency of hardcore punk. They quickly distinguished themselves by an almost self-destructive intensity and uncompromising anticapitalist ethic. Inverting Christian iconography to champion the struggle of the individual against a hostile cosmos, they took up the centuries-old banner No Gods, No Masters, extending this project of total defiance into their increasingly tumultuous lives. This apocalyptic orientation in turn informed their music, as they sought to hit upon the magic combination of words, harmonies, and rhythms that could spark a global conflagration. Catharsis broke up in 2002, following relentless touring on three continents and a final catastrophic five months in Europe. After a decade of watching the old records sell for absurd prices while bootleggers profited off substandard editions, we’ve finally taken it upon ourselves to offer a proper collection of their work. “Light from a Dead Star I.,” includes their debut 7”, and "Samsara" LP, packaged in a gatefold cover with oversize booklet offering all the original artwork. “Light from a Dead Star II.” includes their “Passion” LP, split LP's w/ Gehenna and Newborn. It also includes the final Catharsis song, “Absolution,” recorded alongside “Arsonist’s Prayer” in their last session but never released. Packaged in a gatefold with oversize booklet offering all the original artwork.

[engl] A final limited repress of only 319 copies on Magenta & Black hazed vinyl! Comes with original artwork, insert and poster! CHAOTIC END formed in 1989 were the greek answer to AMEBIX and played a similar style of ultra heavy, atmofearic but shredding political crust and hardcorepunk. In my opinion they were one of the most convincing bands of that genre. This is their one and only vinyl-output they did in 1993 on Wipe Out Records. It captures the band on their high-point after two already excellent demo-K7s. Here the 3-piece deliver 9 songs of extraordinarily good Crust-Metal - 3 long brooding bits on the A-side followed by 6 heavy galloping anarcho-crust pieces with harsh and raspy vocals on the B-side. Music that makes no prisoners influenced by bands such as Amebix or Axegrinder on one- and Doom or the good old swedish mangel of the early 1980ies on the other end forged together to something on their own. In 1996 they sadly ceased to exist. In 2014 after 18 years of silence they picked up their arms again and played a convincing live-set – Ten years passed and the Band is still kicking ass with even a new LP under their belt! This is Greek CRUST at its best!

[engl] Crushing Swedish D-beat for punks who prefer Wolfpack over Wolfbrigade (like any sane person). If this don't make you wave that crust-fist back and forth, you are either deaf, dead or just dumb.

[engl] new album by israhell gutter-punx CITY RATS. 13 songs of heavy hc/streetpunk in tradition of bands like Broken Bones or GBH. gatefold-cover, big poster, printed innersleeve and extra gatefold lyric-sheet. lmtd to 1000 copies. co-production of 10 worldwide d.i.y. – punk labels.

[engl] There's certainly that "crust" touch to this band, what with their leanings towards a driving tempo extremely reminiscent of "Victim Of A Bomb Raid" era ANTI-CIMEX and just a touch of a more serious side of SORE THROAT and faster/thrashier DISCLOSE...now you know something, another high quality crust /d-beat release. Comes with nice lyricsheet and is housed in an inside/ out 350 gr. Cover

[engl] New 5 track EP from the Euro crust/ d-beat veterans Cluster Bomb Unit!!!! Their five new tracks current sound a little more worked out and more akind to KURO, GAUZE or even GISM, than the straight-up DIS-clone workouts of their earlier releases.

[engl] Debut album from stenchcore / crust band COLLAPSED coming out from Canada. If you like Hellshock, Sanctum, Amebix, Axegrinder etc. 500 copies.

[engl] Big as a pig and vicious as hell. The torturous maelstrom sounds of bone breaks and thuggish isolationism. Howling feedback underscores the massive swirling riffs and relentless battery of drums. Foul, tumultuous vocals made entirely of the final exhalations of humanity really send this opus to the apex. A perfect band. For those unfamiliar, CØNDITIØN are a raging south Californian corpse-beat unit more akin to the likes of BASTARD than DISCHARGE. Fucking heavy. We couldn't be more excited about this LP. 800 copies on black vinyl come housed in a heavy duty tip-on jacket featuring art by Matthew Adis complimented nicely by a 24x36 poster insert with art by Abe Social & Madison East.

[engl] European pressing of this raging @-punk release that was put out on Tribal War Records early last year. Eric and Shelly from Catchphraze Records are among the members of Contravene, an action minded anarcho-punk band from Arizona. Powerful and slightly metaltinged music back up a female vocal charged assault with angry and well-written political lyrics. Mostly fast and upbeat but they're also not afraid to put in more melodic and calm parts That reminds me often of bands like Nausea on one, and early Chumbawamba on the other end. They do a great cover of One by One's "Common Ground" from the "In the Spirit of Total Resistance" comp.

[engl] Originally released by the mighty FLAT EARTH RECORDS in 1997, "Monuments" features 13 tracks of slow, heavy and menacing Anarcho punk played by these six lads from Wigan,UK. Touring excessively around Europe with their rusty Transit, CRESS soon became legendary for their infamous old-school Anarcho-Punk 1-2-1-2 drum tempo sound and chanted hard-hitting slogans to fuse it to the modern D.I.Y. punk sound! - Slow, heavy and menacing mayhem riding along the lines of ANTISECT, FLUX OF PINK INDIANS with a pinch of KILLING JOKE, dark tripped-out sound effects and keyboard, loads of anger aimed at the desecrators of our earth. Punk! Lyrics that are truly heartfelt and well thought out, straightforward and sincere, I can feel the compassion and conviction of the punk community when I hear these songs. This is the kind of stuff that keeps me going! It did so in 1997 and it does today! Nailed on my turntable.

[engl] Long awaited 2nd full length by Belgian crust/grinders Days of desolation, delivering 14 tracks in about 30 minutes.

[engl] Most people think grindcore is just noise and nothing more than that. Think that they have no idea what DEATHBOUND is about..Death, insanity, violence & hatred are a couple of words to describe this piece of murderous art! Ear shredding guitar riffs, bass that sounds like a bulldozer and of course a hell of blast beats and machine-gun-like toms… these guys also active in Rotten Sound and The Duskfall. Everything sounds excellent like the professional productions of the "big" names like Carcass, Napalm Death, Nasum, Brutal Truth etc. so nobody will be disappointed from the sound.Limited edition of 300 copies.

[engl] Are you ready for a new dose of käng frenzy ? DELETÄR comes out with a second album which reaches an uncontrollable level of fury. Expect 11 tracks of raging totalitär-esque hardcore that crushes everything in its path and leaves no respite. DELETÄR manages to hit the target in every song and the intensity remains intact throughout the whole album. The songs are punctuated by striking slogans and assumed guitar epicness. In a genre that can sometimes go in circles, it is pleasant to hear something so exhilarating and stimulating.
