It's beginning to look a lot like Crustmas

Embers - Shadows

2011-06-19T11:19:00.000-07:00

Sup fuckers. Been a while.

Embers - Shadows

This came to me from the band themselves. Normally I'm too lazy to do band requests (sorry guys, you're probably awesome but I'm easily distracted) but today was a lazy Sunday so I figured I'd give it a listen. What I got (so far, on a few minutes in) is some haunting/melodic black metal with tinges of crust. Weird shit, sorta reminds me of Book Of Black Earth. Sounds pretty unlike the other Embers shit I have too, but it's quality. The link above is to their bandcamp page. Sliding scale digital download (with no minimum). So you douches can stream the whole thing and then give them money. It's a win win situation.

And no, this is not a sign I'm back to regular posting.

Lords of Lightspeed EP

2010-09-15T00:14:00.000-07:00

Sup. Unemployment blows. Have an upload:

Lords of Lightspeed is the band pre-Wolves In The Throne Room, with the two Weaver brothers playing instruments in a Mukilteo Fairies sounding band (which makes sense, they share some members), though this has some black metal-ish influence (which also makes sense considering where the Weavers ended up). So what do we have? Pretty good shit, and stupidly annoying to find. Took me a while to track down a torrent (and it was only the .flac version), and even longer for a seed to show up and let me grab it. To make things easier, I'm packing it up here for you fucks. I'm including both the original .flac files from the torrent, and 190kbps .mp3s I converted for easier listening.

Lords of Lightspeed EP

Thanks to whoever uploaded the torrent on RockBox

Nux Vomica - Asleep In The Ashes

2010-08-17T11:00:00.000-07:00

Most of you still reading probably have this by now, but fuck it, I'm going to post anyways. I'm just going to copy paste my description from VF, because I'm lazy awesome like that.

Their second album however, Asleep In The Ashes, holy fucking cockknuckles it's amazing. Possibly my favorite release of all time (EDIT: Yes, that means it might be beating Muga). Six songs in a little over an hour, and some of the most beautiful, angry, depressed music I've heard. That whole wave of crust bands adding things like cello's and violins to add atmosphere don't add up to one percent of Nux Vomica's presence. It's like Isis stopped being lame and fell in love with Dystopia and made beautifully pissed off children and those children were Nux Vomica.

That video of The Monster I posted a while back is the continuation of their style post-AITA.

Nux Vomica - Asleep In The Ashes or how I learned to stop worry and love the best crusty metal album ever.

Seized - Seized

2010-06-27T16:37:00.000-07:00

Well, at least I'm back faster than usual.

This is Seized and...fuck I forgot what they sound like, one sec...

Alright, got it. Seized sounds almost like a slower Man Is The Bastard, thanks in no small part to three (count em) bass guitars, and no normal guitarist. Really thick and heavy sound that tends to plod along at a sludge pace, but every so often picks up in to a rocking melody. Odd. Skipping around in tracks just now to get a feel left me underwhelmed, but I remember specifically listening to this at work and thinking "Damn, this is good. Think I have a new upload" so here it is. Don't trust my description, trust my memory that this is awesome.

Seized - Seized

Constant Doubt - 2010 Demo

2010-06-06T16:17:00.001-07:00

What what what? TWO posts? Yes.

Constant Doubt is the band of a cool guy over on the VF punk forums. Since I'm mod there and he actually knows what the fuck he's talking about and doesn't start shit, I'm posting his demo here. It's also not too bad, so there's that too. Production is utter crap and feedback permeates the entire sound (sounds almost like it was recorded live, not in a studio), but if you like noisy/discordant hardcore, you probably wouldn't mind it at all. I mean, I'll be honest, it's not the ZOMG BEST HARDCORE RECORD EVAR, but fuck, it's a DIY release by a friends band, it has some nice slow sludgy parts that almost border on early Swans and it's fucking free, so who gives a shit. It's a competent album and that's all that fucking matters.

Constant Doubt - 2010 Demo

So it's been brought to my attention that there actually isn't any production at all, and the whole thing really was recorded live. Onto a camcorder. I'm honestly surprised it doesn't sound worse knowing that.

About fuck...

2010-06-05T17:38:00.000-07:00

I said fuck a whole lot in the last post. It's like I'm trying to meet some quota I feel behind on during my time away from here.

Fuck it.

Glasses - Glasses

2010-06-05T17:33:00.001-07:00

Blah, not gonna say shit about "oh maybe I'm back, maybe I'm not" because fuck if I know. Point is, I'm here now, and with something awesome.

Glasses is a German hardcore band, and the best way I can put it is it's a fucking female fronted Ghostlimb. RIDICULOUSLY angry and pissed off, but fucking melodic as all hell too. Found them through last.fm when I asked for a Ghostlimb/Swarrrm/Skarp station, and this is pretty much the single best thing it could have shit out into my eager ears. 'Your Terms' is one of the catchiest fucking pieces of rage I've ever heard, and the broad fronting them has some scary raspy "I fucking hate you and will kill you with sound all Maub'Dib style motherfucker" vocals going on, and it rules. Follow this blog enough and you know I have a aural hard-on for chick vocalists who can actually fucking do vocals, and this girl fucking delivers.

Glasses - Glasses

Enjoy you miscreants.

Wormwood

2010-03-27T00:19:00.001-07:00

Oh look, I'm finally getting around to posting something that's been in my MF account since last February.

Wormwood is awesome. If you liked the last track on There Is Nothing Eternal Exists by Muga, with the organ and all, you'd like this. Freaked out carnival sludge, heavy and spooky. The addition of an organ really makes it here, but I haven't listened to them recently enough to provide more of a description than that. Oh well, enjoy two albums. Am I back?

Wormwood - Starvation
Wormwood - Requiscat

Funeralopolis 200%

2010-03-26T23:19:00.000-07:00

Oh hi there.

This isn't something typical of what I post (when I do), besides that it's awesome. A while back someone on /mu/ took the track Funeralopolis by Electric Wizard, a slow, plodding heavy as fuck doom/stoner song and sped it up 200%. The result is a thrashing gnarly mess of riffs that shreds through your soul. Fucking awesome track. Whoever you are random /mu/tant, I salute you.

Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis 200%

I have a request

2009-11-12T22:41:00.000-08:00

Ok, not one to usually do this, but if anyone can find a FULL recording of this (likely a live one), I will be eternally grateful. It's known as "The Monster", and it's a 30+ minute long track by Nux Vomica. This little excerpt is flat out amazing, and I'd love to hear the full thing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxueM6ioqN0

Worth listening to even if you don't have the full version.

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE / The Warren of Snares

2009-11-05T20:33:00.000-08:00

Anyone still out there? No? Cool.

This here is the Warren Of Snares trilogy by Fall of Efrafa. They call themselves post hardcore, but they sound like neocrust to me (sorry guys, know you dislike the tag but that's what you sound like). Anyways, music. Three albums of epic sweeping emotional melodic heaviness, all to the tune of Richard Adam's Watership Down. This is really some of the best music I have, long songs that never overstay their welcome, complex melodies that latch their hooks into you, a pulsing underlying anger always threatening to overtake everything, all wrapped up in one of the most complete concepts ever realised in music. Listen to it in order, all at once.

Links removed at request of band. You should be able to find them for purchase pretty easily though.

I know Owsla is missing track seven, that's on purpose as it's a bonus track that isn't actually a part of the trilogy. I may upload it later along with stuff like their split, demo, and Tharn.

Also, just because of the quote I used in the title, have some Altered Beast Demo. Short fast and fun thrashcore. Fuck yea, good to be back in business.

Dystopia/Suffering Luna Split

2009-06-28T13:50:00.000-07:00

One for the road.

A small file, so it was one of the few I was able to get up. Suffering Luna just reunited pretty recently, so that's amazing. This is half of the stuff they've done, the other half is on a split with Gasp.

It was fun while it lasted.

2009-06-10T11:01:00.001-07:00

So, looks like Crustmas is at an end. I cannot upload anything, I lose internet within a minute of trying. Until Comcast stop being complete fucking cunts or I move and get a different provider, that's it. Crustmas is no more.

I have a few things sitting in MediaFire already which I'll post later this week, but that will likely be the last of them, for a while at least.

Harum Scarum - Suppose We Try

2009-06-08T20:23:00.000-07:00

Trying to get as much up before Comcast screws me over. So here, more Harum Scarum. See below for description.

Suppose We Try to destroy Comcast.

Also, apologies for the password on the Demo, I don't know how that happened, but it's removed.

Harum Scarum - Demo (also, fuck Comcast)

2009-06-04T20:16:00.000-07:00

So, I WAS going to upload a further two albums by Harum Scarum, but Comcast see fit to turn off my internet midway, every time. Took three tries just to get this one up. If anyone knows how to get around this, please let me know. Shit sucks.

Now, on to this album. Harum Scarum is a crust band with a chick vocalist (or two? Dunno). Has some clean vocals and some nice gurgley growls. Pretty melodic and I can't think of much else to say. Filling a request from a comment on my MySpazz.

Harum Scarum - Demo

Skarp - Requiem

2009-05-10T23:10:00.000-07:00

And I'm back (again). School and life intervened, but that's done now (fuck yea graduated). Hopefully, since I have fuck all else to do until I find a job, I'll post more often. Starting now, with this little jem:

Skarp - Requiem

Skarp are a "blackout grind" band from here in Seattle. Really, blackout grind just means some crazy awesome crusty grind shit, kinda like Nux Vomica or those other bands I rave about. This is their latest album, which is sad because it's fucking four years old. I've been playing the SHIT out of this since buying it at a show of theirs two weeks ago, especially the title track. Renae has some of the absolute best female vocals in extreme music, hands down. Only one who can compare is Mis (from Moonshine). Super punishing, but never losing its melody, this is worth a listen.

Ghostlimb

2009-03-19T14:17:00.001-07:00

Late as per usual.

So, this is Ghostlimb. Found them thanks to an Anon on /mu/, who said that the vocalist of Graf Orlock's other band (this one) destroyed Graf. Being a huge fan of Graf Orlock, I had to check them out and let me say, it ain't far from the truth. Ghostlimb eschews Graf's nerd referential grindcore in favor of hyper fast, hyper melodic hardcore. Think what Wake Up On Fire or Nux Vomica do, except less grind/crust. It's really quite awesome though, and I find myself going back to both their releases every few days. Highly recommended for fans of the melodic crust stuff I post.

Ghostlimb - S/T
Ghostlimb - Bearing and Distance

Filth/Blatz - Shit Split

2009-03-05T10:34:00.001-08:00

So, long time no post (again). Oops. No excuses, but here's something worth grabbing. This here is the Shit Split, which is Filth (with I think everything they've done) and Blatz (who I have no idea what this consists of). Filth is pretty awesome crusty punk with some interesting vocals, Blatz is general punk with a pretty grating vocalist. Not a big fan of them, but maybe some of you will like them.

Filth Side
Blatz Side

Amebix

2009-01-29T11:36:00.001-08:00

So, I caught Amebix's show on Tuesday, and I had forgotten how fucking amazing they were. Figured I might as well just upload everything I have by them, so here you go.

Arise!
Monolith
No Sanctuary
Who's The Enemy?

Gehenna - Upon The Grave Hill REMOVED BY REQUEST

2009-01-20T18:49:00.001-08:00

Apologies for not posting in almost a month. I have no excuse.

This here is Gehenna, no relation to the black metal band though. This is mean as fuck all metallic hardcore. Almost approaches grind (may be grind for all I know, fuck genres).

Removed at request of Gehenna
Buy it here.

Also, Razorback Records just put out an album from a band called Acid Witch. I'm not uploading, since they JUST PUT IT OUT, but you're an industrious lot. I highly recommend checking it out, as it's some damn fine drug soaked death/doom.

Merry Crustmas

2008-12-25T11:19:00.000-08:00

Got some presents for you lot, enjoy:

Hotbild - Vermod

Hotbild is a blackened crust band, though a better description is crustened black band. Really just a crust band with pure black metal vocals, kind of like what Darkthrone's been doing lately, except not as lame. Last song is fucking great though, which is really the only reason I'm uploading it.

Thin The Herd - Mournful And Overcast
Thin The Herd - Demo

Thin The Herd sounds like something I haven't posted in a long fucking time: crust. That's right, ole Zero is posting some honest to goodness His Hero Is Gone style crust. Good shit too. Demo is slightly less produced, but still generally awesomeness, while Mournful is slightly more melodic, but still more focused on speed/brutality. The female vocalist here has some fucking nasty vocals too, reminds me a bit of Renae from Skarp.

High On Crime - Two Piece By Necessity...D.I.Y. By Choice Demo
High On Crime - Until No Flags Fly

I mentioned these guys in my last post, saying Black September contains some members. Like I said, not sure WHICH members, but whatever. High On Crime is kinda similar to Thin The Herd, with that good ole crusty sound, though they also got a bit of power violence in them. Think the lovechild of Godstomper and Besthöven. Good shit though.

Black Noise Cannon - Unsaved: The reality of the silent war

Black Noise Cannon are a sludge band made up of former members of Christdriver. That's really all I should have to say. But to continue, what we get here is 3 songs, totaling 55 minutes. This isn't dirty EyeHateGod sludge here, this is epic long Neurosis shit, and it's really really good. I saw these guys with Corrupted, and didn't know who they were, but after seeing their set I immediately needed to buy their CD. Sad to say that the CD doesn't quite live up to their live show, but that's a tall order in the first place. Definitely worth downloading if you want some slow as fuck doomsludge with a misanthropic bent.

Black September - Tide of the Storm

2008-12-18T19:23:00.000-08:00

Well now this is awesome. Crusty/death metaly shit in the vein of Bolt Thrower and Stormcrow, except this time with a chick vocalist. Badass. Contains members from Kungfu Rick and High on Crime too, which is further badass. Dunno, not much to say about it, other than the fact that this upload is slaughtering my connection. Note to self, don't upload while on DSL.

Black September - Tide of the Storm

It's Thanksgiving.

2008-11-27T21:42:00.001-08:00

So, thanks guys.

Star Fucking Hipsters - Until We're Dead

2008-11-26T14:01:00.000-08:00

So, apparently this came out back in September, but I only just found out. Lame.

Anyways, this is Star Fucking Hipsters. If you don't know, they're a band with Stz and Arj from Leftover Crack, and some people from World/Inferno and this other band. As you probably know, I'm a huge fan of Leftover Crack, and no, I don't want to hear any shit on how un-punk or how sold out they are. Die. But SFH, awesome. Saw them in Tomkins earlier this year, was fun. This here is their first, and so far only album, and I fucking love it. It sounds almost nothing like Leftover Crack or Choking Victim, trading in the crust influence for a more poppy sound. THIS IS NOT A BAD THING. All it does it makes the songs hyper catchy and melodic as hell. Quite enjoyable. Surprisingly very few "angry" songs, with a larger focus on melancholy and shit. And I love me some melancholy. The three songs with this, Broken, Empty Lies, and Only Sleep, are actually so fucking good, this may be my personal album of the year (if it can dethrone There Is Nothing Eternal Exists).

Seriously, this is a great album.

Star Fucking Hipsters - Until We're Dead

Warhammer 48k - Uber Om

2008-11-16T23:14:00.000-08:00

Finished my physics homework, figured it was a good time for an upload.

Warhammer 48k is some sort of weird freaked out psych sludge. Think the slower parts to a Gasp track. Lot of discordant noise, but also some nice hooks and shit. Weird. Not too many vocals, and they're all sort of out of tune yells and shit, though it fits the odd atmosphere of the tracks. But, my absolute favorite weirdness comes in the track Haunted Abortion, where the end sounds like some bastard love child between Yeah Yeah Yeahs (fuck you, they're awesome) and something else. I don't know where I was going with that, but it's epic.

Most of you probably won't like this, but I don't give a shit.

Uber Om

V/A - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

2008-11-10T23:28:00.000-08:00

I'm bored, and don't quite feel like coding while waiting for the missus to arrive, so, AN UPDATE! HUZZAH!.

I've been meaning to put this comp up for a while now, and finally got around to it. This here is some random comp I found online while looking for some Floor tracks. What it is is one of the more eclectic compilations I've seen, with sludge to stoner to power violence to grind. Shit like Floor right next to Discordance Axis. Badass. Really fuzzy production, not really sure of the source (I'm assuming 7"). Split into three albums inside the comp (bet you can't guess the names). Worth the download.

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Here's the full artist list:

Floor, Cavity, 16, Toadliquor, Thug, La Gritona, Fork, Craw, Slughog, Ice Nine, Discordance Axis, Apartment 213, Devoid of Faith, Damad, Spazz, Enemy Soil, Suppression

Now tell me that line-up doesn't make you wet.

Masterpeace - World Is One

2008-11-08T14:16:00.000-08:00

So, found some more Masterpeace, and figured it was time for a new upload, so here you go:

Masterpeace - World Is One

Contained within is a comp track, or something. Pretty decent track, though I don't think it's quite up to anything off their other albums. Also included is the World is One EP. Weird EP, starts off with a hip-hop song or something (made me think I got the wrong Masterpeace at first), but then goes right back into their nice blend of ballistic hardcore. They don't really do anything new here, but if you liked their last album, you'll like this one just fine.

Also, the Seeeing Red blog is a thief and a retard. I remember when it just started out, it did so by taking one of my uploads, and now they deny taking another, even with proof. They could at least fucking credit.

Muga - There Is Nothing Eternal Exists

2008-10-23T01:04:00.000-07:00

OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK, NEW FUCKING MUGA, JIZZWORTHY.

Muga - There Is Nothing Eternal Exists

I'm fucking listening right now, for the first time, so I can't even formulate a true comment on its quality.

BUT IT'S FUCKING MUGA.

MUGA

So, yea, I'm done being a fanboy for now, so here's my honest opinion. It's sorta better than their self titled. Why sorta? Well, I'll say that overall, the songs on Eternal are superior, but I personally felt that the S/T had a much better flow to it. Also, two of the songs on Eternal are just re-recordings of Road To Asura songs, so that takes off a few points (but hey, we have titles for two of those tracks now!).

The tracks though, oh god. The last two make the album worth it. Wings of Hope starts with an acoustic guitar straight out of a Leone movie, and it's just badass (though I love western style acoustic guitars). It just slowly adds more instruments and speed until it gets to the crescendo, and then FUCKBAM, awesome. Some sort of neo-crust western theme for the new millennium. Then, after this we get the album ender, The Womb and the Universe. I was worried, because Journey To The End was so perfect, I figured Muga couldn't top it with their new one. I was wrong. Taking a page form Wormwood, they add in all sorts of weird outsider instruments, like a piano and some haunting diabolic organ towards the last third of the track. It's a lot slower than most Muga tracks, and actually sounds pretty mournful, even with all the crust that's still there.

But seriously, the album wins for those last two tracks alone. Add in the other seven, and you have just a phenomenal album, and a worthy successor to their self titled.

Skaven

2008-10-12T21:39:00.000-07:00

So, someone requested the rest of Skaven after I upped their recent split with Stormcrow, and since I aim to please, I present....the rest of Skaven. At least the rest that I have.

So, I'll say again, Skaven play old school doomy crust a la Deviated Instinct, you know, the shit that's HEAVILY influenced by the likes of Bolt Thrower. They take their name from the rat race in Warhammer (a nod to Bolt Thrower, who take their name from a gun in the same universe), and on these two releases, actually sound pretty good. Much better than the Stormcrow split at least.

Also, Blessed... is a split with fucking DYSTOPIA, so it's instantly worth it for that.

Skaven - Skaven
Skaven/Dystopia - Blessed Are The Worms... For They Shall Inherit The Earth

Skaven/Stormcrow Split

2008-09-26T17:01:00.001-07:00

What's that, TWO uploads in a day? I said I was back, bitches.

So, a while ago someone requested this split. I wanted it too, but then I forgot about it. Well, I just got it yesterday, so I figure I'd throw it up in case that person didn't do the wise thing and look elsewhere.

What we have here is Skaven and Stormcrow, the new breed of dark doomy crust a la Deviated Instinct. In all honesty, I found this split kind of weak. Skaven's track is really not their best, and while the Stormcrow side is awesome (it's Stormcrow, it can't not be awesome), it's still not up to Enslaved in Darkness. But whatever, it's not BAD, just, could have been better.

Stormcrow/Skaven Split

Faaaaaaaast As A Burning Missile!

2008-09-26T14:37:00.001-07:00

Yes, another update. Somewhat worthless, as it seems most people abandoned checking for updates. Don't really blame em, but I am going to try to update more. Have a ton of things all lined up.

First up here is Faaaaaaaast As A Burning Missile! Awesome compilation, similar to the Bleaaaugh comps Slap-A-Ham put out. 99 songs of power violence, hardcore, crust, and grind. Songs are longer than similar comps, with the longest coming in at almost 3 minutes, and the average being around 45 seconds to a minute. 1.6 hours total, and that's 1.6 hours of awesome. Fun Fact: This is how I found Masterpeace.

Faaaaaaaast As A Burning Missile!

Tell your friends, Zero's back.

Genghis Tron

2008-09-08T15:17:00.001-07:00

Ah Genghis Tron. Easily one of my favorite bands, if not my absolute favorite. Plays a stupid crazy mix of electronic and grind, and more recently even some drone and other shit, and it's just awesome. You fuckers might not like it, but oh well. Really nice guys though, and they came from where I used to live in NY. Put on a fun as fuck show too.

Cape of Hate

Cape of Hate is their first limited EP, released in an edition of something like 150 on Crucial Blast. Has a couple of nice remixes and some dark ambient interludes. Fun times.

The Unit

Single song "demo", recorded for Revolver magazine on their little mini studio they used to lug around. It's an ok track, and nice to have for completeness sake, but eh, they've done better.

Demo

Quick demo of Colony Collapse that was on their MySpace, few months before Board Up The House came out.

Laser Bitch

Their first demo, containing old versions of songs that would appear on Cloak of Love. If anyone has a copy for sale, let me know, I want this bad.

Cloak of Love

Their first real full length, and arguably some of their best material. Short as fuck EP, but full of great fast as fuck all REAL cybergrind, none of that shitty 'scene kid with Fruity Loops' MySpace bullshit. Even if they do actually use Fruity Loops...

Triple Black Diamond

Their second limited remix EP, containing a bunch of Dead Mountain Mouth remixes, some live tracks, and a demo from Board Up The House. Has an awesome ten minute drone noise mix of Dead Mountain Mouth on it.

Board Up The House

Their most recent album, just released on Relapse earlier this year (so this will probably get deleted soonish). Currently my personal vote for album of the year, but I'm a fanboy, so make yer own decision. Much more evolved than their previous shit. Less chaotic, a bit more refined, kind of like the change Swarrrm made between Thee Imitation Messiahs and Black Bong.

Dead Mountain Mouth

First full length. Awesome album, but I'm getting tired of typing descriptions, so that's all you get.

Some Graf Orlock is next, I'll try to get to requests one of these days.

Aguirre/Hongo Split

2008-09-07T22:52:00.001-07:00

Blah blah blah, quick post to prove I'm still alive. Tons of shit uploaded, but this is all you get for now. Hongo, scroll down for a description. Aguirre is like epic melodic sludge, think Isis or later Neurosis. Good times, and not as tired and cliched as you'd think.

Aguirre/Hongo Split

No pw anymore, as Mediafire is lame now.

Expect a shit ton of Genghis Tron (everything, as far as I know), and a shit ton of Graf Orlock (same deal) tomorrow or something. Depends on when I get bored at school.

Ok, this isn't my fault this time.

2008-08-20T12:48:00.000-07:00

So, I actually was planning on updating more, until I remembered why I ditched DSL for Cable. I'm at my parent's place, and the DSL here is slow as HELL (comparatively). Add in the fact that the missus keeps playing WoW, and I can't upload for shit. I figure I'll take this time to take more requests. I have a bunch of the older requests lined up, and will be uploaded when I return to Washington next week, and I've also got the Aguirre/Hongo split, and probably going to upload a ton of Graf Orlock and Genghis Tron, because fuck you, they're awesome. Anything specific people are wanting though? I'm always game for a hunt.

Hongo

2008-08-03T20:41:00.000-07:00

It was brought to my attention yesterday that it has been a while since I posted. Guess my last post was a lie. Oh well, fuck it, I'm here now, uploading on slow as shitass connection. See if I can do more in the next week or so, as I'm actually on vacation now. I have a bunch of those requests still to fill, just sitting around.

What we have here is Hongo. More of that surprisingly awesome spanish epic crust, a la Ictus and Blunt. Pretty good, though they tend to sound less crust and more Envy-ish. Depends on the song really. Not really a bad thing though, still that way-too-long-songs hyper melodic with screamed vocals thing that's all the rage, and they don't fuck it up.

Got the Demo from 2004 here, and also their album Formas De Vida Que Se Precipitan Hacia Su Destrucción, which means "Who the fuck am I kidding, I don't know Spanish"....

Also have a split with Aguirre, which I actually quite like, but I'll probably post that in another two months.

Demo 2004
Formas De Vida Que Se Precipitan Hacia Su Destrucción

Muga/Swarrrm split

I know, I know, slacking again. This is pretty much just a place holder, I've got some shit lined up, I just need to actually up it and shit.

So, yea, I finally fucking found the Swarrrm/Muga split I've been looking for ever since I saw it on Muga's site over a year ago. Let me say, it's almost worth the wait? Why only almost? Well, the Swarrrm side kills it. Not to say the Swarrrm tracks are bad, they're still great. The problem is, every single Swarrrm track is just a track off of Black Bong, just with a different name. Kinda disappointing, as I was hoping for something new. The Muga side, however, is completely new, and completely fucking AWESOME. May be the best shit they've put out yet. Only three tracks and an intro, and no titles, but damn do they make this split worth it. Decently long tracks too, so while there are only a few, they stick around and stay memorable. Highly recommended, if just for their shit.

Link, care of the Cephalochromoscope blog. Not gonna jack the guys upload, but figured I'd at least point you guys in the right direction. He's got a lot of other nice grind releases up (including a metric fuckton of Swarrrm).

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

2008-05-28T22:41:00.000-07:00

Long time no post, but that's common for this here blog. Summer school and Metal Gear games have kept me away, but I have nothing better to do at this moment (except more Metal Gear), so I figured I'd upload something I've been meaning to.

Hark! It's a Crawling Tar-Tar

What we have here is the really stupidly named Hark! It's A Crawling Tar-Tar. I have no idea what the fuck a Tar-Tar is, or why it's crawling, or why that's so interesting as to use old English vernacular, but I do know that this is fucking AWESOME crust on par with Muga (and as you guys know, I'm a fucking fangirl for Muga). Don't let the first track scare you with it's harsh noise intro, this album quickly turns into some good ole melodic punishing crust. I'll admit, they sound REALLY fucking derivative of Tragedy, but in my personal opinion, completely one-up their inspiration in terms of quality. Two vocalists, one doing the classic deep crust growl thing, the other sounds almost like the guy from Masterpeace, and it fucking works. Seriously, get this, it's worth the wait.

I'll see if I can get to the requests that have piled up one of these days. Hopefully won't be another two months before my next post.

Smörgåsbord of requests filled

2008-04-01T00:15:00.000-07:00

Oh shits, is that some descriptors?

Well well well, Dystopia's swan song has finally been released after years in limbo. Is it worth the wait? you may ask, and for that, you're a retard. It's a new fucking Dystopia album, of course it's worth the god damn wait. And while it's not as good as Human=Garbage (not much is), it's still one of the best albums released in recent times, and should be required listening to have ears.
Dystopia - Dystopia

This shit was actually pretty damn awesome. Earlier stuff appears to be more power violency, but this album is almost thrash at points, but remains hardcore enough. Crossover maybe? I don't know, fuck genres. It's awesome though, Conan-influenced, beat-the-shit-out-of-hordes angry hardcore, and pretty damn catchy too. Thanks whoever recommended these guys.
Crom - Hot Sumerian Nights

Let me preface this by saying these albums really have no rational reason for being here, unless you count the very thin ties between black metal and crust, but fuck it, I'm eclectic. Fall of the Bastards play black/thrash type shit, but balance the two genres pretty well. It doesn't sound like your general black metal, actually has decent production, and is also pretty damn thrashy (obviously). They don't really fall into that GR1MM3R TH4N THOV stereotype of most bm bands, and that's a nice change. Same goes for Book of Black Earth. Wormwood, on the other hand, is some of the most fantastically fucked sludge ever. They're playing their last show in a few weeks, sadly, so maybe I'll up some of their other shit. Sounds sorta like Gasp and EyeHateGod had a bastard love child, and Mr Bungle came in from nowhere to give it a pearl necklace.
Fall of the Bastards - Where The Dead Hang From Trees
Fall of the Bastards - Dusk of an Ancient Age
Fall of the Bastards/Book of Black Earth Split
Fall of the Bastards/Wormwood Split

Filled a request with this one, or else I probably wouldn't have posted it. What you have here is some general purpose crust, nothing fancy. It's not bad per se, but it doesn't do anything really new, and it doesn't have that awesome melodic side that gets me all wet, so it was forgettable. But hey, if you like this type of shiz, all the more power to you.
Initial State - Abort The Soul

Requests?

2008-03-26T16:45:00.000-07:00

So, yea, I'm sorta running out of shit to upload, or at least I can't think of anything off the top of my head at the moment, which means it's time to ask for requests. If I don't have something already, I'll try and track it down, but if you want to see something new here in the near future, best bet is to ask for it. Comment this entry with anything you want. If you just want to see different shit, you can also request genres. I listen to pretty much everything, so chances are I'd have something new.

A lo, Zero said there shalt be crust...

2008-03-24T20:52:00.000-07:00

And there was. And there was much rejoicing.

Four bands represented here: Blünt, Nagasaki Nightmare, Ictus, and This Thing Called Dying. Mostly I upped these releases for Blünt and Ictus though.

First off is Blünt, who are fucking awesome. If you like the whole Tragedy/From Ashes Rise/EVERY-FUCKING-ONE style of crust that's oh-so-popular nowadays, you owe it to yourself to check out their releases. They fucking ramp the melody up to fucking eleven, and make some of the catchiest god damn crust I've ever heard. If you don't have the main riff from El Fin Dio Sufrimientio stuck in your head after a single listen, you must be deaf. Their split with Nagasaki Nightmare has vastly better production of the two albums, so I recommended that one over their self titled.

Speaking of Nagasaki Nightmare, I upped their side of the split too. They too play melodic new crust shit, but in all honesty, I've listened to their side once, and went straight back to Blünt's side. If you like them though, I can upload their superior album, Grind Tradizionale Barese.

Next is This Thing Called Dying, who play completely fucked ballistic crust/hardcore/grind. There's still that melody that seems to be a requirement for crust nowadays, but it's hidden under waves of furious guitar and drums, and manic vocals. It's pretty good times, and better than I remember.

Last but not least is Ictus, who round out the split with This Thing Called Dying, and also have their own album, Imperivm. Let me preface this by saying, if you like Fall of Efrafa, do not hesitate to download this band. Only two tracks from them, but with a sixteen minute track form the split, and the whopping thirty nine minute single track that makes up Imperivm, you don't need much else. This is epic crust of the highest caliber. They pull off massive songs without a single god damn dull spot, which some bands can't even pull off at fucking two minutes, let alone almost a fucking hour. It's a daunting listen, but it's well worth the reward.

Blünt - Blünt
Blünt/Nagasaki Nightmare split
Ictus/This Thing Called Dying split
Ictus - Imperivm

Don't ever say I do nothing for you.

2008-02-25T11:25:00.000-08:00

I'm sick and missing class, so that means I'm actually gonna upload some shit for you guys.

First, here's a better copy of Iskra's self titled, courtesy of Spetsnaz. Apologies for upping a bad copy previously, if you grabbed it, it would be wise to get this one:

Iskra - Iskra

Here's some more uploads that aren't mine:

Godstomper/Magrudergrind Split 7"
Rhino Charge - Rhino Charge

Both are old To Live A Lie releases, uploaded by Will (the owner) due to them being out of print. I'm always raving about TLAL, but they deserve it, their prices are unbeatable, and they carry the most awesome assortment of shit in existence.

Behold....REPOSTS:

Noticed this one was removed.

Moonshine - Moonshine

Look back a few posts for a description, but I'll at least reiterate that this should be required listening. I can say in all honesty that this is one of the best albums I've put on this blog.

Bunch of reposts

2008-02-11T09:46:00.001-08:00

So, I'm seeing if these things last longer if I scramble the file names. MF is a bitch though, and made it so that I can't password protect my files anymore. So, would you kindly not jack my uploads, or if you do, at least give credit back?

I'm much too lazy to rewrite descriptions again, and since these are all re-ups, you guys can just look back through old posts for the description.

Yeti - Volume, Obliteration, Transcendence
Wake Up On Fire - Wake Up On Fire
Wake Up On Fire - Demo
Pretty Little Flower - Complete Grindcore Annihilation
Los Crudos - Discographia
Destroy - Discography 1990-1994
Crossed Out - Discography 1990-1993

I'll see about getting a description for the Fall of the Bastards I have sitting around so I can post that later.

Facedowninshit - Nothing Positive, Only Negative

2008-01-28T15:15:00.001-08:00

Putting up an old one that got killed for whatever reason.

Facedowninshit - Nothing Positive, Only Negative

No clue, but for some reason I had this tagged as crust. Well, what you get here is sludge, pretty much Eyehategod worship, long, plodding fuzzed out NOLA sound. It's nothing amazingly special, but it does what it does well.

Baroness

2008-01-26T12:48:00.000-08:00

The first of some of my promised uploads:

First
Second
Red Album

I think this is all their non-split stuff. Could be wrong though.

For those that don't know, Baroness play sludge, though not all mean Eyehategod sludge, they play happier(relatively) sludge. First and Second are their first two EPs, and are a bit darker, harsher, underproduced, other synonyms for sludgy. Though, even with that, they're still catchy as fuck all.

Red Album is their newest, and if you follow the metal press at all, you'd see this album has been getting a crazy amount of accolades all last year. I agree with the press on this one, Red Album is in my top 3 albums for 2007 (along with High on Fire's Death Is This Communion and Swarrrm's Black Bong). Red Album takes all the catchyness of the first two EPs, makes it a little less mean, and makes a full album of it. It still has that wrath of sludge, but it just progresses so well that you just get going. I suck at descriptions, but fuck it, this is worth a download.

Some whoring, and a taste of things to come.

2008-01-26T00:07:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to put it out there that To Live A Lie released the Hip Cops/Gate split 7" a little while back, but I just finally got around to ordering it. I haven't heard it yet, but from what I've heard of Gate and Hip Cops, it's sure to be awesome. You guys should probably grab it too, as it's cheap as hell, and supporting the smaller labels and shit is integral for new music.

Also, I have a ton of stuff uploaded, just not posted. I'll see if I can get it up tomorrow. Nothing that really fits here, but I have some Baroness and Fall of the Bastards, and an album by This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb. If you want the Pipe Bomb album, it's already up over at Nuke The Cross, where they ganked it from me. They put more effort into track lists and pictures than I ever will.

Swarrrm - Nise Kyûseishu Domo

2008-01-17T23:28:00.000-08:00

So, I never did what I said I was going to, but you guys should be used to that by now. I do have some uploads planned, like all of Graf Orlock, some sludge, grind, and probably some stoner, since that's what I've been listening to recently.

As for todays upload, you get my favorite Swarrrm full length. If you don't know Swarrrm, you suck. Swarrrm are a japanese grindcore band, using a ton of different vocalists, and if I remember correctly, no lyrics. Instead, they just have the vocalists scream ballistic insanity over some of the best instrumentation in grindcore. Seriously, these vocalists sound either piss drunk or like they're having a complete mental breakdown. It's awesome. And the music itself, is just beautiful. This album starts off with a fucking mandolin, and just goes into punishing fuck-you-upness. Mandolin returns throughout, along with some of the weirdest, most fucked melodic parts out there. Swarrrm hold a place as one of my absolute favorite bands, so you fucks had better like this. If you don't you're just fucking stupid.

Swarrrm - Nise Kyûseishu Domo

Today is but a day

2007-12-24T22:43:00.000-08:00

Merry crustmas you ungrateful cunts. I'm vacationing at my parents, whose DSL does not like me uploading albums, but I'll see if I can manage a nice little treat.

Took a look through old posts.

2007-11-29T21:58:00.000-08:00

Seems a lot of shit is gone, whether through inactivity for MU links, or whatever reason MF has for deleting my shit. Made a list of what I need to re-up:

Crossed Out Discography
Los Crudos Discography
Destroy Discography
Wake Up On Fire - S/T and demo
Yeti - Volume, Obiteration, Transcendence
Pretty Little Flower Discography
Saw Throat - Inde$troy
Siege - Drop Dead
Facedowninshit - Nothing Positive, Only Negative
GISM - Sonicrime Therapy
Driller Killer - And The Winner Is...
Hellshock - Only The Dead Know The End of War
Axegrinder - Rise of the Serpent Men
Nausea - Punk Terrorist Anthology Vol. 1

This shit is annoying. Anyone know the deal with MediaFire deleting my files randomly?

Well....Shit [[UPDATE]]

2007-11-16T21:24:00.000-08:00

Umm, I can't seem to access any of the files I've upped, and I can't login to my MediaFire account. I believe I may have been banned. If that's true, it might be the end for Crustmas. Might be server problems, but for some reason, I don't think so.

Okay, it seems to be server issues, as I'm intermittently able to log in and view files. I guess this will work itself out.

EPIC POST

2007-11-16T17:33:00.001-08:00

So, I'm posting this a little later than I planned, got caught up with homework. Here goes though:

First, we have some re-posts. I'm hoping these stay up, if they don't I honestly don't know what to tell you, as I can't stop their being removed:

Destroy Discography

Crossed Out Discography

Next up, some requests old and new. Figure if I'm uploading shit I want, might as well up some shit other people want too:

State of Fear Discography

State of Fear is good times, fast, downtuned mean grind sounding crust.

Gasp - Drome Triler Of Puzzle Zoo People

Gasp is fucked up. They play some weird twisted form of power violence with a heavy avant ambient noise leaning. This album tends more towards ambiance from what I remember, but don't think that means it's calm.

Now some random shit:

Hummingbird of Death - Diagnosis: Delicious

HoD is simple, fast, no-frills hardcore. Nothing exactly amazing, but they know what they're doing, and it sounds as hardcore should.

Burned Up Bled Dry - Kill The Body, Kill The Soul

Fuzzy washed out grindcore. Really lo-fi sound, and it helps. Again, nothing amazingly different, but sometimes you need some simple shit that sticks to the basics and nails them.

Okay, so all the stuff beyond this point is shit I've been in love with for the past week or so. Also, they all share members between then (sometimes close to an entire line up is made from members of another). Variety of genres represented, so there's something for everyone.

First up is Wake Up On Fire. Two albums for you, their S/T full length, and a S/T demo, which has alternate versions of some songs on the LP, and some other tracks. Wake Up On Fire play heavy grind influenced crust (or is it heavy crust influenced grind? No matter). they're among that new wave of extreme punk bands adding random non-punk instruments to look all gloomy and shit (See: Garmonbozia, Remains of the Day, and every other fucking band out now). They have just a simple cello in the background, and while not exactly integral to the sound, it sure as hell feels nice backing the driving guitars and multiple vocalists. About the vocalists, you have one guy doing ultra guttural growls, while the other handles mid pitched grind shouts. Apparently there are two more vocalists, but shit, I can't seperate them beyond that. Really recommend them though, 'Dust' is a brilliant track.

Wake Up On Fire - S/T
Wake Up On Fire - Demo

Next up is Nux Vomica, the band formed from the ashes of Wake Up On Fire. Less awesome than their roots, they're still damn good. Sound is kind of like newer Sayyadina mixed with Tragedy, that grind with a hardcore lean to it. Still has that "hey look, melody" thing going on, minus the cello though. Good shit though, though I think the Uninspired EP is better than their full length. But have both, you can decide.

Nux Vomica - A Civilized World
Nux Vomica - The Uninspired

On to Inure's self titled, which is more straight up grind sounding. One of the chicks from Wake Up On Fire handles the majority of vocal duties here, and she does a damn admiral job. It's this mean low gurgly growl, and it's just dripping hate. As expected of this set of bands, they do a fair bit of melodic shit, because who doesn't these days. Doesn't mean this shit doesn't punish like all good grind should, but this is definitely from the new school of grindcore.

Inure - Inure

Last, but not least, is Moonshine. Mis, the vocalist for Inure, handles vocal duties again, and they work even better here. Baby Elephant Stomp has her going from the aforementioned gurgle to now actually singing with clean vocals. She manages to pull off both styles damn well, especially her clean, which is this soft croon that goes perfect with the slower parts of the track. As for the actually instrumentation, sounds like Inure slowed down a shit ton into a sludge dirge, that thick sound that feels like you're drowning in molasses.

Moonshine - Moonshine

And that's all for now kids. I do happen to have one more project by the above people, a band called 57 Octaves Below. Sounds nothing like any of the other stuff, as it's all soft acoustic rock. Depending on interest, I may up that too. Have fun downloading.

Prepare yourselves

2007-11-15T21:47:00.000-08:00

Save your bandwidth kiddos, as I'm currently preparing the single largest post I have ever made. Something for everyone, from old faithfuls to new blood.

Masterpeace - Chase The Ideal Myself / 100 Posts!

2007-10-17T09:00:00.000-07:00

Masterpeace - Chase The Ideal Myself

This marks 100 posts in this blog. That is cause for celebration.

Anyways, this is some japanese hardcore/screamo/wtf. Found them through some random compilation, and this is the only thing resembling an album I can find. Awesome shit though, with these ballistic screamed vocals (and some low, grind like growls on some songs), some awesome riffs that shit between being pure blasting hardcore with melodic shit back and forth. Hell, at points it even sounds like video game BGM.

I've been listening to this non-stop, and so should you.

You guys are nuts

2007-10-05T23:37:00.000-07:00

You guys have collectively downloaded the Bloody Phoenix album 89 times.

It's only been up three days, and you have downloaded it EIGHTY NINE times.

I really hope at least some of you actually bought the damn thing.

You gotta be shitting me.

2007-09-17T00:14:00.000-07:00

So now Destroy is gone. That's two discographies wiped mere days after I upload them.

Someone's obviously reporting them, I'm curious though, why? If it's you, do you own the rights? Tell me and I'll stop uploading them. Else I'll just find a different service.

DEAD Stack - Discography

2007-09-15T18:21:00.001-07:00

No way in hell am I writing up a track list for this behemoth.

Stack

Okay, I'm stumped

2007-09-15T14:53:00.000-07:00

Looks like Crossed Out got wiped again. Sorry bout that, but I'm guessing someone's reporting it, so not much I can do. I'll see about getting it on a different service.

Also, I'm currently re-uploading the Destroy discography, since the link died. Expect that up shortly.

I fixed the old Crossed Out post. Honestly don't know what happened, the file just seems to have disappeared. If this happens with other releases, please comment the latest post made, as I don't usually go through my old stuff looking at comments.

Neanderthal - Fighting Music

2007-09-08T15:10:00.001-07:00

Neanderthal - Fighting Music

This here is the band that was a precursor to Man Is The Bastard. It's short, but it's everything they've done. Heavier, fuzzier, and less noise than MitB, and worth checking out.

Black Kronstadt - The Free Spirit

2007-09-08T15:09:00.000-07:00

Told you I had more of this. Well, I think I've said what there is to be said, so just scroll down and read the other description.

One of my personal favorite power violence bands. I'm not sure if this album is a best of, discography, or just a random collection from those years, but fuck, that's for you lot to figure out.

DEAD Gasp - An Earwig's Guide To Travelling

2007-09-08T15:06:00.000-07:00

Black metal influenced crust formed by members of Black Kronstadt. Really fast, noisy, mean shit, and highly enjoyable.

No pw on this one because it was originaly for MySpace metal forum. I hope that this doesn't mean it will end up on other blogs uncredited LIKE SOME OTHER UPLOADS.

Fruit Salad - Buy or Die

2007-09-08T01:50:00.000-07:00

Fruit Salad - Buy or Die

Decent enough power violence, though a bit on the short side.

Follow the albums advice, but it (or Blood Power, their other album).

I figured everyone would know by now that the password is always crustmas.blogspot.com, but since it appears I'm wrong, I've added it to the about me section.

DEAD Misanthropic - Open Up And Take Your Bullet

2007-09-01T14:04:00.000-07:00

Misanthropic - Open Up And Take Your Bullet

New discovery. This band plays what sounds like heavily Dystopia influenced grindcore (name is also a pretty good giveaway). I think there are male/female dueling vocals, though the screamer could just have a super high pitched voice. It's pretty good nonetheless, and easily worth the minimal bandwidth it will take.

DEAD Los Crudos - Discography

Los Crudos - Discography

To my knowledge, this album is everything done by Los Crudos, the pioneering Spanish speaking crust/hardcore band. To be honest, I never bothered to check them out until I saw a request, and figured I may as well fill it. I was pleasantly surprised. Nice, fast crust with some good vocals and aggressive instrumentation.

DEAD Depressor - Symbols

2007-08-29T18:15:00.000-07:00

Ah Depressor, never a more apt name chosen. What we have here are thirteen tracks of mean, dirty, sludgy almost industrialish crust. This is what Godflesh would sound like if Godflesh ever made a crust album. Pretty good songs throught, though the tinny/fake sounding drums grate on my nerves. Worth checking out anyways.

Depressor - Symbols

DEAD MAN IS THE BASTARD

2007-08-26T11:42:00.000-07:00

Oh yes, this had to happen.

If you don't know who MITB is, you owe it to yourself to listen to these albums, then kill yourself for taking too long to find them. You're looking at the band that pretty much defined power violence.

Man Is The Bastard - Mancruel
Man Is The Bastard - Thoughtless...

I went with these albums, as I figured DIYCD is probably everywhere already, so why be redundant (I'll up it if people want). While both albums are shorter than DIY, they still deliver the goods. And what goods they are. 24 tracks total of their signature blend of bass driven heavy as fuck pv mixed with spill over from Bastard Noise.

DEAD Yeti

2007-08-26T11:36:00.000-07:00

A post? Surely you jest?

Anyways, this is an old request I finally got around to uploading. Both albums from this band called Yeti that was on Life is Abuse. I'm not gonna bother trying to classify them. I have them tagged as sludge, but that's not necessarily true. Just listen if you want. Not the best thing ever, in my opinion, but what do you have to lose?

Yeti - Things To Come...
Yeti - Volume, Obliteration, Transcendence

IF you navigated here, you know the password. That, or look at older posts.

DEAD With Hunt - This Is Only The Beginning...

2007-08-07T21:21:00.000-07:00

Picked this up after their Washington Square Park show on this past Saturday. Turns out, what I thought was a new album was actually a re-release of "As Priorities Decay..." (they really like trailing ellipses), along with all their EP tracks and split tracks. So, while annoyed I now effectively have two copies of Priorities, I do have a ton of new stuff. Figured I'd share the wealth since I know of some friends that like Witch Hunt.

With Hunt - This Is Only The Beginning...

DEAD Oroku - Living Through The End Time

2007-08-07T21:19:00.000-07:00

And this band is the postcursor to Garmonbozia. They lose the female vocals, but keep the cello. Not quite as good as the other two in this trifecta, but they are nice in their own right.

Oroku - Living Through The End Time

Ignoranus

2007-08-07T21:17:00.001-07:00

Only three songs, and I have no clue where they're from. From what I can gather, this band was the precursor to Garmonbozia, and these tracks are the only things they ever recorded. WAY fucking awesome stuff, and worth the download.

DEAD Witch Hunt - Blood Red States

2007-08-01T15:17:00.000-07:00

Great stuff here. I should be seeing them on Sunday barring anything retarded happening.

PW is known to all, far and wide.

Track list is not here, because I'm lazy and you lot are lucky I was arsed to upload in the first place.

DEAD Sea of Deprivation - Catharsis in Disharmony

2007-07-09T14:16:00.000-07:00

No tracklist because I'm a lazy fucker, but these guys are worth checking out. Should be required for fans of Dystopia, as it sounds like Dystopia Mk.2

Shit, the dual vocalists even sound almost exactly like Matt and Dino. Great shit here.

But more of a question. Been wondering what to do with this rarely updated blog. I know for one thing that files get downloaded like wildfire when I add them, so I'm curious, what do you, the pirates of the datawaves, want to see updated? Do you want this to stick to a more or less pure crust blog? Or would you rather see me expand it into hardcore, power violence, sludge, and punky grind?

Leave a comment if you want to share your opinion. I'll try and get something new up one of these days.
