It’s been awhile since we reviewed some Punk Rock. So here we are again, this time I hold in my hand a badass album from legendary German Punks Emils! This band is one of the fundamental squads in the German scene, they started in 1985 and are still active (more or less). Originally this LP was released in 1988 (more than 30 years ago, wow) but I have a re-press from 2018. This re-issue has amazing bonuses and damn good quality, Power it Up has done their best. There is a paper book with a ton old information, a bunch … Continue reading Emils ‎– Fight Together For…

For the last decade the Russian underground Grind scene has flourished There is a lot of new names, but older acts still show signs of life. The old farts from Sordid Clot prepared a new portion of filth for our ears. This is one of the oldest grind bands in Russia, they started 20 years ago. As for Hydropsy, they are a band from Moscow, they’ve been around for about 8 years and this is their last noise (I mean really last, the band is RIP). I will go in order and will start with Sordid. So, Sordid Clot recorded … Continue reading Sordid Clot / Hydropsy

Without doubt this is Gore split of the year! Fuck this shit literally melted me, haha! Everything is damn great with this CD. The disgusting visual look, quality of the CD and booklet and of course the quality of noise material. I don`t want to talk much more about general things, they really don’t matter here… After a huge delay, Active Stenosis finally sent their tracks to Garbage Bondage Rec. I know that guys re-mixed all songs… and fuck… the result was worth the wait. I got so much pleasure while listening, this shit is ridiculously dangerous, haha! It`s hard … Continue reading Active Stenosis / Endotoxaemia

Vicious Circle has been a Punk band for 30+ years. No doubt anyone who has been interested in Punk music at any time has come across the band in some way, shape or form. The early years of VC were full of Hardcore Punk madness with strong social lyrics about oppression, social inequality, defiance, etc. Yes this band didn’t change the style, but these bastards were standing strong at the beginning of Australian Punk era. This is truly a legendary name in Punk history. Even a dumbass knows that without Punk there would be no Grindcore, Hardcore, Death Metal or … Continue reading Vicious Circle ‎– Rhyme With Reason/ Into The Void

It`s been a while since I reviewed a real Gore album. The Canadian perverts from Biological Monstrosity are not so active, but each time they put forth a  new portion of filth… it almost always means that we will get a high quality product. “Partus Anomalus” is not an exception, this album became one of the best Gore releases in 2018. Biological Monstrosity have stuck their fists far deeper into the viscera, into the dirtiest depths, and come up with a really badass album. We have here 15 sickening and slimy song which are hidden under disgusting art. Damn this … Continue reading Biological Monstrosity – Partus Anomalus

I haven’t really heard many new bands that bring anything fresh to the genre. Here come Sardanapalm Death, who also don’t bring anything new to the genre, but this band deserves to be heard. In contrast to other Greek Crust Punk bands, this one sounds a bit faster and has less of the commonplace deep and dark atmosphere. The cover art is really suitable for this kind of Crust. It’s dirty, unmasked, aggressive and smelly. As for the music… Διαμόρφωση συνείδησης is obviously not a masterpiece, but it’s also not a crappy album. Despite all the usual d-beat shenanigans, the … Continue reading Sardanapalm Death – Διαμόρφωση συνείδησης

I have a question for you – what do you know about the Greek crust scene? I bet not so much… Greek crust punk is pretty unique; it has its own taste. It’s not cheerful and fast like Swedish kind of crust or raw and aggressive like Brazilian crust, no, this kind of punk is very dark. The riffs and tempos are mostly slower than usual, the atmosphere is full of gloomy emotions. There is a lot of the bands that are using stenchcore (yep, that mystic and barbaric sub-genre) formula in their music. Χαοτικό Τέλος (Chaotic End) is that … Continue reading Χαοτικό Τέλος ‎– Υπόσχεση

The end of 2018 blasted my ass with this small split. I love good gore, so this 7” became a good nice “holiday cake” for me. So as usual, here is a little info about today’s heroes. G.O.D. or Grotesque Organ Defilement, is well known 3 boys band from Ontario (Canada). They blow up the underground with their interesting and unusual high speed goregrind. Their full length “Body Horror”  set a big shoes to fill, so I’m expecting a lot from this new material. Domesticated is a new name for me. I believe they had started in 2016, Victoria City … Continue reading G.O.D. / Domesticated

Vicious Circle is a damn old band, these punks were the beginners in Australia. With time these guys changed their style, now their music is more aggressive and sounds more like oldschool Hardcore. “Never Give In” was released 3 year ago, but this LP holds it’s intensity even to this day. The finely concentrated energy on this album could blow your head clean off, ha! When I got the parcel containing this album I was pleasantly surprised. The quality of the cover,hell the  image in general is just awesome. Speaking of the image, it has a lot of elements and … Continue reading Vicious Circle ‎– Never Give In
