Skaven / Stormcrow - Split [EP] (2008)

Download via Megaupload


This is one heavy slab of wax. Skaven, being the insanely crushing war-crust, Bolt Thrower and Amebix worshipping powerhouse that they were, bring to the table one absolutely pummeling previously unreleased (at least to my knowledge) track of pure chaos and despair. The soundtrack to the wasteland. Members of this band were also in the all-mighty Lachrymose and Asunder. I still have yet to be able to get my hands on a copy of either their 7" or the split with Dystopia, but alas, this will have to do. Stormcrow solidify their place among the likes of other California crusty doom legends and show that crust can still be interesting in the wake of Appalachian Terror Unit and Tragedy. Coming straight off of one of my top 5 crust records of all time, the Sanctum split LP, this 7" shows no sign of them slowing down in their quest to decimate and destroy all life. But looks can be deceiving and in 2010, Stormcrow called it quits. Such a bummer that they are now defunct, leaving us only with a handful of splits and one full length. Still, their legacy will forever remain as the crust war gods of the mid-to-late 2000's of California. \m/

Syphilitic Vaginas / Nunslaughter - Under Satan's Command / Satanic Masturbation [EP] (2009)

Download via Megaupload


Another killer Syphilitic Vageenz post to add to the growing list on this blog. You know the drill by now, SV plays killer G.I.S.M. worshipping crust as fuck existence blackened speed metal bitch. Nunslaughter actually surprised me with this release. I had never given them the time of day before purchasing this 7", partly in fact due to the Satanic Threat 7" and also in part to them having a release schedule that competes with that of Agathocles and Abigail. But, nonetheless, I was missing out all this time. Nunslaughter is fukkin' killer, bro. For real. It's just a rowdy, raunchy, butt-fukkin' good time. Grab some beer in one hand, some tits in the other, and distort 'til deafness! Keep on it!

Black Market Fetus - A.N.A.B. [flexi] (2000)

Download via Megaupload


Black Market Fetus hails from Des Moines, Iowa. They've been playing since the late nineties. They started when the vocalist, Nate Fetus was just 16. This flexi always amazes me. It's so fucking raw and a far stretch from what the band is now. This record is extremely noisy and blown out. This is grind crust at its finest. It's played with just the right amount of ineptitude, and the perfect amount of rawness. The vocals really stand out on this release as being totally harsh in comparison to their other releases. I hope you enjoy this record as much as I do. I might end up posting the rest of their discography later on. We'll see how this goes over. Also, keep in mind that this is a flexi. It's been through years of abuse and poor care before it came into my hands so it is seriously noisy as fuck.

Abigail / Syphilitic Vaginas - Split [LP] (2009)

Download via Megaupload


Syphilitic Vaginas keep getting better and better. They are the perfect blend of G.I.S.M., Bathory, and Motorhead/Inepsy style crust-n-roll. This split continues in the style that makes them so great. Abigail cumz at you hard with two original tracks and two covers. My personal favorite being, "High School Metal Bitch." Without printed lyrics, I am left to assume it is the heart wrenching tale of Yasuyuki Suzuki and his love for underage girls that have listen Venom and Bathory. Abigail sounds like the Japanese Bathory ala The Return... and Self Titled on this record. Not surprising, seeing as how it includes a cover of "Possessed," by Bathory. Also included is a Nunslaughter cover. Play it loud and bang your fukkin head.

Syphilitic Vaginas - Black Motor Covenant [EP] (2008)

Download via MegaUpload


Absolutely essential EP from this G.I.S.M. worshipping D-beat sleaze metal straight out of none other than the land of the rising sun. No one makes music like the Japanese. They're on a whole other level of ripping than the rest of the world. Raw, but not in the trendy sense of the word. Fuck Off All One.

Shitfucker - Human Disorder [MC] (2008)

Total ripping, raw, drenched in reverb d-beat crust. Falling somewhere along the lines of G.I.S.M. and Bathory. Essential.

Cognitive Dissonance - Omens of Doom [MC] (2008)

Download via MegaUpload


Minnesota's bleak and fucking relentless winters have spawned one of the best demo's I've heard in a while. This came out about two years ago and it's still one of my favorite tapes. Cognitive Dissonance offers up the perfect blend of crust, black metal, and 80's thrash that doesn't quit. This demo ist winter. It's cold. It's raw. It's brutal. Think Abigail meets Darkthrone and Anti-Cimex. Enjoy.
