ATHRENODY - Crazed Development CD
Existing only for a short time in the early 90s, ATHRENODY, along with bands like IMMORTAL FATE, EXHUMED, GORYMELANOMA and COLOSTOMY created a foundation for the emerging Bay Area grind scene. Back then, rumors were floating around about a band from the South Bay that played a brutal style of grind/death metal not-on-like Harmony Corruption era NAPALM DEATH and/or TERRORIZER - turned out this band was ATHRENODY. They played a few shows, and before they split-up, they managed to get into House of Faith studios to record this full length. Unfortunately vocals were not added, until that is, Matt Harvey from EXHUMED stepped up to the plate in 2005. The result is this CD.
BREAKFAST - "3rd and Army" LP
Tokyo's BREAKFAST returns to play their unique brand of original skate thrash - think SST meets modern day 1000mph thrashcore.

This LP contains a different arrangement of songs than the CD version released in Japan.
BREAKFAST / STRUGGLE FOR PRIDE Split CD
Also known as the EL BURRITO project. This is a repress of the infamous CD that happened to sell out within a few days late last year.

Small amount available in the US, so be sure to pick this up soon. (LP is sold out)
CHARM/UxGx MAN Split LP
UG MAN are legendary Tokyo skate hardcore, featuring members of SPITFIRE, GODS GUTS among many others. Manic without being metallic, frantic without copying modern styles.

CRUCIAL SECTION - Catch the Future LP

DESTRUCTIONS END / BANDANOS - Split CD
An international barrage of crossover thrash that lays waste to all! Venice Beach has emerged on the shores of Brazil in the form of BANDANOS, who kick down a mix between EXCEL with a dose of early ACCUSED - by far one of the best of the recent crossover thrash bands! DESTRUCTIONS END conjure the Bay Area thrash spirits for some circle-pitting, sweat-short wearing, wammy-bar laden, double-bass drenched thrash metal in the vein of DEATH ANGEL and VIO-LENCE. This CD requires that upon its first play, listener must chug beer, crush can on forehead, and start pit with friends in the nearest highschool parking lot.
DISCARGA 10" LP
You like LARM? I like LARM...these guys be loving the LARM too, but they be rocking in Brazil....sounds like later day LARM (duh) or MANLIFTING BANNER....great lyrics, ripping fast hardcore plus some of the coolest people on the planet. I will support these guys forever....Watch out for them in Europe! This is pressed for their tour.....
DISCARGA - MUSICA PRA GUERRA CD
The 3rd CD from Brazil's legendary thrashers - and this CD does not let up in the ferocity and anger that DISCARGA is known for. 3-piece, straight forward socio-political fastcore played with rage, not unlike LARM and/or MANLIFTING BANNER. At times anthemic, but mostly short blasts of 1000mph fastcore, DISCARGA is one of the best bands currently in Brazil. Limited quantities in the US so act fast.
FLIPOUT A.A. - Flipout Songs CD

INFECT - Discography CD
INFECT blasted onto the scene in the late 1990s, delivery a powerful mix of politically charged lyrics, and fast, energetic thrashcore.

This two-man band has been deemed fastcore, grindcore, power-violence, hardcore and numerous other 'tags' that indicate ferocity and speed. But their unique song writing and conceptual approach defy any simplistic genre. For those who have seen them live, you know. For those who have yet to experience the LUNG, this is your warning. One of the best bands of the last decade as far as I'm concerned.
IRON LUNG / SHANK Split CD
International power violence returns....This is the last recordings from Scotlands knife weilding neds known as SHANK. Crazy time changes, bitter lyrics, heavy guitar tones, and their best recording, fucking brilliant. The IRON LUNG material is from the same Polymorph session that their LP came from, so you know what to expect. Insanely frantic two man fastcore that sounds unlike anything that has come before. LP version was released a few months before the CD version.

NO TIME LEFT 10" LP
This new 10" surprised the hell out of me (tops their debut EP by far)...a mix of fast hardcore punk, blazing guitar leads, some youth crew parts and even some gritty punk rock..topped off with good lyrics.

RUNNING FOR COVER - LP
From the frozen tundra of Buffalo New York, this power-violence unit re-defined blasting fastcore. 1000mph blasting, insane riffage, MITB bass-leads, incisive and critical lyrics....throw it in a blender and you have the legendary RFC.

SCHOLASTIC DETH - Collection CD
All 3 EPs, Comps, some extra unreleased stuff, a full radio show plus a video compilation from various shows. Oh and a friggin 28 page booklet chock full of crap. No wonder this bastard took 2 years to put out.

SEEIN RED / FxPxOx Split LP/CD
A combo of the new breed with the veterans. Hailing from Macedonia, FxPxO are some of the most dedicated dudes in international HC constantly touring, trading, contacting people from all over the world. Their music reflects this dedication, fast hardcore thrash with unmatched amounts of energy, positivity and speed.

SHANK - Coded Messages in Slowed Down Songs LP/CD
Originally to be released on Slap A Ham, this is now being put out by Deep Six and 625. This is by far the best shit they have ever done.

SLIGHT SLAPPERS - "Will the Sun Shine Again" LP
This is the original Tokyo Power Violence band, continuing their audio onslaught for over 16 years! They laid to waste the two Fiesta Grande festivals that they played in the state, continue to just destroy live shows across Japan. This is the long-awaited 2nd LP, and returns to their manic-thrash style of the classic "Change" Ep released on MCR in the early 90s.
THEY LIVE - LP
Finally, after talking about this fucker for 4-5 years, they have recorded it! Im fucking stoked man! THEY LIVE is the perfect blend of US style fastcore (ala INFEST) mixed with influences of international hardcore.

NEVER CONFORM - Debut EP
This Ep has been in the making for 14 years, seriously! NEVER CONFORM (from Sapporo) originally existed in 1988 and was inspired by the fast HC bands coming out of Europe at the time. They only played a few live shows and when they broke up, they only had a few rehearsal tapes recorded. They recently got back together and got in the studio to record 6 songs....and fans of HERESY, RIPCORD and SOB will flip for this.
