Muga - There Is Nothing Eternal Exists

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

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/Stormcrow Split

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.

Faaaaaaaast As A Burning Missile!

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

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

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.

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.
