This LP collects the demo, 7" and one comp. track that this criminally underrated German band laid down in the late 90's. Hybris has a strong Uranus influenced sound with those swirling, wall of sound guitars, frantic drumming, shrieked and painful vocals, all delivered with a palpable urgency. This bulldozer ride is a split release with React With Protest (Germany) and DeGraanrepubliek (Netherlands) and is packaged in re-used inside out record jackets spraypainted then screenprinted. They are $10 in an order or $13ppd.

Xtra Vomit returns from the icy depths of Michigan with 5 more tracks of HC/punk fury - a 2 person bulldozer of punk anger. The honesty of the tracks come across in the included writings. Puerto Rico's Tropiezo should be no stranger and their 5 tracks here add to their prolific output of energetic HC. This combines straight up HC/punk with an odd streak that sets it apart. This is co-released with both bands and many labels from around the world. The covers are made with hand cut and screenprinted paper recovered from the trash. These are sold out.

I'm working on getting the MP3's for this one.

Panzram plays angry, ugly HC deep down in FL. They play in a genre populated by bands like Walls, Pollution, or Drugs of Faith, where the sound is rooted in HC and punk, but is definitely not traditional, with lyrics focusing on humanity's dark underbelly. Downtuned, noisy riffs, seething vocals, and the odd hint of post punk round out the sound. The record is packaged in a handmade envelope style jacket with nice screenprinting. These are $8 in an order, or $10 ppd on their own.

Crow's Foot hails from Clearwater FL. These young punks take the blazing sound of bands like Bread and Water or Ballast, but add the passionate intensity of mid 90's anarcho/emo bands from France like Anomie. Raw anger mixed with a sense that we really could change things. This is the perfect answer to today's apolitical punk. 4 songs of rage and hope housed in a screenprinted and sewn handmade jacket with a nice booklet with lyrics/writing and Spanish translations. These are $7 in an order or $9ppd on their own.

A peaceful village is interrupted by the sight of an armored bulldozer in the distance. As the dozer nears, swarms of creatures emerge jabbing at the fleeing villagers with sharp skeletal appendages. The destruction is total, as one survivor emerges from hiding and surveys the damage. This is the scenario that plays out as I listen to this record - dark building epic heaviness gives way to swirling chaotic HC, only to hammer you again with a wall of crushing sound. These Germans, including mem. of Resurrectionists, have created a great album that seamlessly combines the epic and neurotic sounds that the region is known for. This is a split release with Apocaplexy and React With Protest. Europeans get in touch with those labels. Maik from Apocaplexy did an amazing job on the packaging, combining screenprinting, letter pressing, and pasted paper. These are $10 in an order or $12ppd on their own.

This was a last minute idea for Cervix' northeast 2011 tour. In case word hasn't reached you, NYC's Cervix play noisy raw punk infused with lots of metal riffs and some of the wildest howled screeching reverbed out female vocals you've ever heard. This tape includes new tracks from their upcoming 7" releases, the West Coast Tour demo, and the original demo. There are multiple versions of some tracks with different recordings.  This was released right before the band broke up and is basically a discography.  The packaging is a nice screen printed J-card on leftover black linen paper, spraypainted stencil on the tape, and an insert with lyrics etc. These are sold out.

An absolute monster of a record.  Resurrectionists are back with more pulverizing grinding hardcore fury.  A dual vocal attack slashes through swirling guitars and crushing drums.  Germany's heaviest.  Lich hail from the UK and takes a more plodding downtuned approach, pairing bulldozer riffs with elements of powerviolence and harsh screamed vocals.  This is a split release with React With Protest, Moment of Collapse, Vendetta, and Konstruct Gestalt.  These are $12 in an order or $15ppd on their own.

Puerto Rico's Tropiezo is back with 5 new rippers.  Their thrashing punk base is constantly mixed up with lots of odd parts that make Tropiezo stand out from the fast HC crowd.  And the drummer just plain kills it on this one.  Japan's Vivisick come with tons of character as well.  Take the wild heartattack punk of Mind of Asian and throw in a British pub punk vibe and you've got these songs.  Hard to categorize, but their side kills as well.  This is a split release with many labels from all over the world.  They are $3 in an order, or $5ppd on their own.

Ireland's Drainland continue the beating they've been giving us for some time now.  2 new heavy, downtuned, mean HC blows with one adding some early death metal influence to the sound.  Cellgraft is from Tampa and they play manic, threatening grindcore.  The amps sound like they're either about to blow up or they have recently exploded already.  Killer split.  This is a split release with Superfi and DeGraanrepubliek.  These are $5 in an order or $7ppd on their own.

Note - the scan didn't pick up the color very well - the actual cover looks much better than these scans.  That is if you consider this looking good anyway.

I'll have the mp3's soon.

A three way split of vicious HC and grind. Michigan's Cloud Rat continues their assault with crushing riffs which lapse into grinding violence, all backed up by some of the most palpably pained vocals I've ever heard. Fellow Michiganders The Oily Menace rip through ugly, heavy as hell old school low vocals grindcore with political lyrics and even using some classic folk song lyrics (no folk in the music though I promise). While you try to reattach your face after the first two, Canada's Wolbachia works on giving you a stroke as they slash through some non-traditional grind that sounds like having a heartattack in a swarm of bees. Wolbachia is members of Kursk and they maintain that seething vocal sound. This is packaged in re-used inside out record jackets that are screenprinted. It's a co-release with Black House Records. They are $8 in an order or $10ppd on their own. Trades and wholesale welcome.

Michigan's Cloud Rat comes prepared with a heavy hammer yet again. These 2 tracks show all the grinding HC fury and venomous pained vocals you know and love, yet both display a dark moody side with the odd driving or black metallish riff to break up the blasts and blown out filth. This is the first release for Autarkeia from Ft. Myers FL. Made up of folks from Jiyuna and Merkit, both sides shine through. Dark, moody emo that goes from calm to gigantic blown out heaviness is fronted with female vocals that range from screamed intensity to haunting beauty. This track focuses on driving heaviness and finishes with a long outro reminiscent of a darker Christie Front Drive. Packaging is screeprinted on hand cut waste paper to reduce resource consumption. They are $4 in an order or $5.50ppd on their own. Trades and wholesale welcome.

Hailing from sunny Fort Myers FL, Autarkeia crushes through 8 tracks of dark, moody, and epic emo. Made up of members of Jiyuna and Merkit, both sides shine through, combining gorgeous building and spine tingling emo with crushing, often distorted bass that made this record almost too heavy to cut the lacquers right. These tracks explore everything from calm to driving to gigantic pounding intensity, all fronted by female vocals ranging from venomous, pained fury to haunting ethereal beauty. Lyrics focus on personal and political topics and are moving and thoughtful. This is an emo record the way they should be - sincere, thought provoking, and intense. The packaging is made from recycled, inside out, screen printed record jackets to reduce resource consumption, and comes with an 11x17 poster/lyrics insert. The CD version also includes the track from the Cloud Rat split and is housed in a recycled paper screen printed/stamped digipack with lyrics booklet. They are $9 ($7 CD) in an order or $11ppd (8ppd CD) on their own. Trades and wholesale welcome.

Cloud Rat comes again with 9 new tracks of scathing venomous fury that you have come to know and love.  They are the perfect mix of crushing hardcore and grindcore, with hints of black metal and the odd driving part that make it a unique sound.  I can't get enough of this band, and these tracks just add to their impressive discography.  Just in case you weren't absolutely sure that Michigan was pissed off, Xtra Vomit spits out 14 tracks of their own blasting hardcore/punk.  Their side is an absolute unrelenting assault - raw blasting filth with dual vocals spewing out anger and frustration with the world, but with a sense of hope and inspiration that I always get from these hardworking Michigan punks.  These are screen printed on inside out re-used LP jackets to minimize resource use and come with a full lyrics sheet.  They are $8 in an order or $11ppd alone.  Trades/wholesale welcome.

Bloominton IN's Rat Storm slash through 6 tracks of furious HC/powerviolence. They make great use of a grinding intensity as well as crushing riffs with that almost out of control sound that brings a sense of urgency and anger. Pissed female vocals front the onslaught, thoughtfully covering such topics as sexuality, prisons, and capitalism, all with additional explanatory writing. Packaging is screen printed on hand cut waste paper to minimize resource use and most insert paper was dumpstered as well. This is a split release with Blackheart Mountain and Plan-it-X Records.

Japan's Vespera offer 2 demos on this release. This is some of the catchiest raw punk you're likely to hear, crafted by punk veterans of bands like DSB. Sung female vocals complement catchy melodic hardcore punk riffs with the odd growl in between. If you're into bands like Ballast or Masshysteri or Preying Hands you will definitely dig this. The J-card is a 2 color screen print on paper recovered from the trash.  These are $4 in an order or $5.50 ppd alone.

Hexis is from Denmark and plays some seriously heavy and oppressive hardcore/black metal hybrid. It's just an absolute wall of crushing guitar with almost constant double bass. It's not at a super fast pace though, so the double bass has this overpowering sense to it rather than just being a blur. The drummer also plays the floor tom as a snare most of the time, so the blasting feels even more low-end. The vocals are ugly throaty filth that bring to mind the UK's Vuur. This doesn't sound quite like anything else, but if you like the Bremen-sound German HC bands, or stuff like Acrid, this should be right up your alley. As heavy and ugly as they come. This is a split release with IFB Records, Panda Banda, Orchid Scent, Parade of Spectres, and Maximum Douglas. These are $5 in an order or $6.50ppd alone.  Ask for wholesale and trades.

Panzram and Shoppers come together for a noisy punk parade on this little platter.  Syracuse NY's Shoppers play the catchiest noise drenched punk you've ever heard, totally drawing you in with riffs that just remain in your head for days.  All that backed up by great vocal work - haunting and full of attitude.  Panzram returns from Ft. Myers FL to dish out another dose of mean and ugly non-traditional HC laced with hints of post-punk.  If bands like Pollution, Walls, and Drugs of Faith are your thing, you will be right at home with Panzram's offerings.  The packaging is screen-printed with 5 prints.  This is a split release with Feeble Mind and IFB.  These wrecks are $5 alone in an order or $6.50 ppd.

Republic of Dreams comes from Germany and brings the European emo-violence sound you know and love. It goes from frantic and wild to a momentary let-up, only to swirl away again a moment later. Members of Resurrectionists and Louise Cyphre are responsible, so you know the drill. Beau Navire are from the US and are no strangers to this sound either, combining melody and chaos in masterful fashion. These are $4 in an order or $5.50ppd alone.
