Mind of Asian/Straight Edge Kegger Split

More Mind of Asian for all you folks. Some fucking energetic thrashy powerviolence from this all female Asian band, yo. I really dig the energy that these chicks deliver. They kick ass. Keep looking in the archives for some more. Or do a search. Whatever. They have some sick tracks here, one of the better being "Aoishima" which starts off with an awesome Japanese guitar-like instrument...Listen to it, and let me know what those are called. "I Love XXX" is a really good track too. A great start to this awesome split, with some ferocious intensity to it. "Ne No Nai Yoru" starts off with a Digeredoo. Fancy.

Straight Edge Kegger deliver eight more songs of female-fronted hardcore. With some pretty clever lyrics, too. Just hit up this album for the lyrics sheet. I don't feel like posting the lyrics right now. To be honest, I never listened to Straight Edge Kegger before this, and I have to say that I'm impressed. It reminds me of a more punk sounding Magrudergrind with a female singer. That's a REAL nice picture. Anyway, download it.

Firehorse Monarch

Firehorse Monarch's only release is one of the most intense series of six sample-soaked hardcore I've ever heard. From Cleveland, OH, some of the members go to the Cleveland Institute of Art. So does a good friend of mine, who turned me on to this band. All the songs are filled with fucking overpowering samples mixed in with the hardcore little hooks and messy riffs. The drumming is great, and the vocals fit this more than anything else I care to think of.

The band is great. Like a more underground sounding Genghis Tron, without sounding anything at all like them. They played some awesome live shows, and although I never saw any of them, I hear that they were insane. People hanging off of rafters in basements and jumping off of equipment, songs sounding like noise, nobody caring.

The CD came in this (bristol board?) paper sleeve, printed on both sides, yo. Awesome at that. Very talented, methought. Now they are fucking defunct. Bummer. Check them out on their myspace for more info.

TRACK LIST:

ok. I know these songs have titles, but I have no clue what they are. Just call 'em 1, 2, 3, etc.

V/A Save You

An awesome compilation with only 4 bands participating, but what a fucking lineup; Soihadtoshoothim, C.R., Devoid of Faith, and The Judas Iscariot.

By far my favorite shit on here is the track from The Judas Iscariot, because I love 'em. I'm still looking for everything they've done as of yet. Soihadtoshoothim's track is something of an abstract grindcore song, as kind of a go-between their early grindcore stuff and their grindpop as of recently. The C.R. Track is really a lot better than I expected, actually. It's a perfect fit for this comp. The Devoid of Faith song is pretty generic. Not that good, at least among all of these really original and quirky bands. Whoo.

The album itself is basically a very basic concept; suicide. Basically all the songs have something to do with suicide or events leading up to suicide, and the booklet came chock full of facts and advice about "killing yourself or someone you may know" kinda shit like that. Very nice packaging, and a great release from the Mountain Collective.

TRACK LIST:

1. Combination Lock (Soihadtoshoothim)
2. Father's Little Failure (C.R.)
3. Inherent (Devoid Of Faith)
4. Young Werther and Sisyphus (The Judas Iscariot)

Weapons of Thrash Destruction

Whoa. Got an original vinyl rip up here finally. "The Weapons of Thrash Destruction" 3-way split between Brody's Militia, Voetsek, and Widespread Bloodshed! Not a bad record, either.

Released as a 6" one-sided EP to promote a tour of the same name. It was this purple marble vinyl, and looks cool. The Brody's Militia songs are kinda weak, I thought. I've never heard any bad Voetsek songs, and Widespread Bloodshed are pretty good. It's really annoying, I thought, that the Brody's Militia songs are a lot longer than the Voetsek or Widespread Bloodshed tracks (in fact, the first song is almost as long as both the Voetsek songs and Widepread Bloodshed songs combined).

Also, this rip got kinda fucked up. Not really bad or anthing, but the fucking track listing is all screwed up in the file. No big Deal. This is the real listing, use your imagination for the rest.

BRODY"S MILITIA

1. Sham Campaign
2. White Plight in the Hour of Chaos

VOETSEK

3. Thrash You
4. East Bay/West Bay?

WIDESPREAD BLOODSHED

5. Distortion or Death
6. All Out War

Rainbow of Death- S/T

These guys (and girls) are one of the most ferocious powerviolence bands I've ever heard. Think Romantic Gorilla on speed in France. Never a dull moment at all. Originally released as a 10" record, this exact same band is also known as Monarch, a sludge metal band which is also great in a completely different way. The two bands act as exact opposite mediums, it seems. One to chill out to, and one to fucking rip with. Pretty cool idea.

The songs are fucking intense. Even the intro track, "Rainbow of Death," get you pumped. They sound like straight up thrashy punk, like Surf Nazis Must Die (check them out too!), but with this Japanese poppy-punk thing in a few of the songs. Check the song "Nice Happy Day." Very weird song titles too. "Turbonekronomicon" and "Hellbent for Kitty" are my favorites. I really hope some of you get the musical references in a lot of the songs.

This is one of the few bands that you can actually feel the energy on. I only know of two different bands that can capture that feeling, one being Charm and the other being Charles Bronson. By the way, these guys are French. Just thought I'd share that.

TRACK LIST:

1. Rainbow of Death
2. Nice Happy Day
3. Turbonekronomicon
4. Death Rock & Rollerskates
5. Bayonne uber Alles
6. Corpse-Paint Cowboy
7. Five- Finger Discount Anthem
8. Hellbent for Kitty
9. Transylvanian Princess
10. Hellectric Guitarmy
11. Dark Funeral
12. Fuck the Future
13. Hello! Candy Kill

Suiciety- Accelerate the Process...This Means War!

A great CD-R demo from a sadly defunct CT crust band. As far as I know, this is the only thing they recorded. I only had the privilege of seeing them live once. Oh, what a great show that was. All six members were there so they said, "LET"S PLAY!" Members of other bands lent them gear and they played an amazing set. The pit was awesome, and I'll never forget that show for awhile. I don't really remember who else played, except for C.O.I. and THEM. Such a good memory.

As far as crust goes, this stuff is great. Kinda like THEM, but with a grittier sound, instead of just drunk. So fucking D.I.Y. they put it out for $1 a pop. Too bad these guys aren't around anymore, but cherish these good tunes. Later on I'll post a scan of the lyrics sheet. Xeroxed, bitch!

TRACK LIST:

1. American Waste
2. Self Made Cell
3. Sanctions
4. Routine
5. Break These Chains
6. Nothing's Sacred
7. Suiciety
8. Nothing Lasts Forever
9. We're Guilty
10. Pukin' Away Another Night
11. FUCT
