DISSYSTEMA - The Silent Earth LP

Details: This record finally comes out! Philly's Motor-Charge delivers their newest and I'd say best record. All the elements of a great D-Beat/Crust record are all here. Fist pumping gang vocals, distorted bass, lots of cymbals, solos to do spirit fingers to and the obligatory songs about war. The vocals alternate between 3 singers, which adds a lot of variety. Oh and I should mention in "Lust For War" they take the line from the movie 300, "Tonight We Dine in Hell" and make it punk. Fuck You Hollywood!

AUDIO KOLLAPS - Music from an Extreme, Sick World - CD

Details: Oh yeah, this shit rips! Audio Kollaps hail from Germany and play burly crust/grind that just smashes your head into the pavement. I love that whole crust/grind crossover sound and I have to say these guys are pushing all the right buttons for me. They kind of remind me of a brutal mixture of Terrorizer and Napalm Death with just a few touches of death, crust and thrash thrown in for good measure. They mix the sound up nicely by balancing a lotof classic elements of both the crust and grind genres. These guys are much more rooted in that classic grindcore sound like Terrorizer where you don't have to blast the whole time to keep the sound punishing, instead they utilize plenty of blast beats but space out these sections in order to make them all the more crushing when they do occur. This is damn fine stuff and represents everything I love about the classic grind bands of yesteryear. If you dig Terrorizer, Napalm Death and Brutal Truth then you should be all over this one. I highly recommend to all grind fans out there.

SUPERAPES - Animal Song LP

Details: Superapes are hardcore / crust with female vocals from Slovakia, ex- The Public.
The band Superapes from Cadca (Slovakia) started playing in autumn 2003, (the original name was Superape.X) after boys decided to quit 8 years of playing with The Public, and to start with some new project... with a different music style and thoughts. Ozon (drums), Gino (guitar) and Horak (bass) asked their friend Jazzman to play the keyboards. After a few gigs in this line up, the fifth element 17 years old Eva joined the band and started to sing. While the first songs were influenced a lot by The Public, the others are more punk, screamy, maybe emotional... the name of the band is thier own version of Hitler's "ubermensch.
Superapes quit playing in summer 2006 from personal reasons!!

Details: Twelve new tracks that show a band that know what they want and know how to get it done.

ANATOMI-71 - Mot nya höjder CD

Details: Back with a vengence! This is indeed a progression and a step forward from their most excellent HEJ KOM OCH HJÄLP MIG MCD. This time with a complete fullength; which contains of thirteen new songs and one re-recording from an old demo. Although playing crust; this band has something unique on their agenda. Clever and thoughtful lyrics; which make this band somewhat alone in what they are doing and doubtfully will stand out from the rest. Prepare yourself for a d-beat attack of furious anger; despair and the with the glimpse in the eye. Thus towards new heights.

AKTIV DöDSHJäLP - 4:48 CD

Details: 4:48 was the given title to the album, which is the time when the majority of people commit suicide. With a new band, and new fresh songs, there was an urge to let the sound freshen up. The act was soon in contact with Marcus Lundberg, the owner of BloodWork/SoundPark Studios i Norrköping, who was excited over the challenge of creating a new sound for Aktiv Dödshjälp. The album has a sound that makes the listener recognize the band. The music has developed into something new, and thanks to the new members, the band has been take to a whole new level, that weren’t possible before. The music is harder and more metal, but still has a base of crust in it. 4:48 is a record that will affect everyone that listens to it... it will knock the listener down in his shoes.

END OF ALL - The Art Of Decadense LP

Details: Abba aside, End Of All encompasses all the best parts of Scandinavian hardcore/metal. If you liked their first album “Same Shit But Different” you’re going to love this one. And for those of you who haven’t been graced by the auditory enlightenment that is End Of All, think Skitsystem meets Wolfbrigade/Wolfpack meets At The Gates. Every song on this album works on multiple levels. The first track “The Age of the Serpents” blew me away. It starts off with a dark and melodic acoustic intro, then explodes into a melodic Swedish death metal intro... http://www.myspace.com/endofallsweden

WHAT IF GODS LIE - Third World CD

Details: Ex HOG members from Mexico City playing angry political crustpunk (lyrics in both Spanish and English). Musically they are heavy, down-tuned crust with growled vocals - pretty closely capturing the classic sounds of late 80's crust/punk crossover bands like DOOM and ENT. There is also a hint of the more modern, tuneful influences of TRAGEDY and friends which, coupled with a excellent recording quality, really makes for an exciting and not enitrely predicatble release. This is their first full length, hot on the heels of their great split CD with ALL SYSTEMS FAIL. Another fine example of Despotic Record's dedication to releasing quality music that may otherwise never be heard this side of the border.

HUMAN COMPOST/NONDESKRIPT split EP

Details: After doing this for 20 years it's not all that often that one gets excited over a split EP, but this is one of those rare occasions. This EP teams up two new French crust bands that kick ass musically and have angry political lyrics. HUMAN COMPOST kicks things off with three powerful tracks that have hard metal edge like early BOLT THROWER. On the flipside NONDESKRIPT crank out their own three tracks with a severe death/balck metal influence. If MASSGRAVE and ISKRA did a split EP it would probably sound something like this! Packaging is quite nice with a heavy duty pocket sleeve and offset printed insert... just like the music it's top quality all around. http://www.myspace.com/humancompost
