Free Shit MEGAPOST!!!!!!!!!


Marci was gonna make a post about Mercenary Cockroach, who are an Insect Warfare rip off. I am glad that these much heralded times have finally arrived, and we can see Insect Warfare rip off bands. I might make one called Ant Battle, or something equally preposterous. I am going to go ahead and post a bunch of shit that is free on the internets, as well as been given to my little hands for free, this year, and I feel like posting it. Let us begin.




.

This band is from Florida, and they carry on the wonderful tradition of bands who play super short, super depressive, weird grindcore, that plays within and without the bounds of the genre, at the same time. So going form a syncopated beat to a blast beat, but doing some weird, weird shit in between. They are one fo the best things to happen to grind ever. Yes, that good. Best recent band for sure, best American band since Insect Warfare. All their shit is up for free on their blog.

I had the decency to put it all into one of our mediafire links though. This is their self titled demo, which fucking rules, has everything you need, ton of songs, 10 minutes, its a fucking grind orgasm of fast, short pissed off shit. Then their 'Revenge' dmeo, which is 4 songs, 1:40 time wise, really good shit, bit gored out, in terms of song titles, bit more straight forward, in terms of grind. And their new shit, which is absolutely amazing, althought he recording is real annoying like, takes itme to get used to it, but i love the way it sounds now. That one is called 'External Habitation' and is not to be fucked with. Destroy your life for satan.


.


This is the demo of a hungarian band called Dance Or Die!!, who are first class chaps, all in all, although they have weird social problems, and are a bit akward. Their music hits like asack of bricks, its fastcore with some melodic overtones, the drummer guy hits that fastcore tempo, which is arguably not a blastbeat, and they absolutely slay live. I do not have a physical copy of their stuff, but Marci was kind enough to hook me up with their shit. Bit melodic in places, and the demo does not do justice to their superb live act.
But I will upload it anyway.

.


This next demo is Dakhma from the Czech Republic, and I am sorry to say that the best thing about this piece of music is the layout. It is a 3 inch CD, put inside of a red envelope, with lyrics, and the cover is just super glued to the face of the envelope. It is overall pretty good, if you like neocrust, which I, personally, do not. There are exceptions, but on the whole, melody kills music, and these guys bust out melodies left and right. The only reason I am posting them at all is because the melodies are wicked disonant, and are done up in true black metal fashion. There are blast beats, too, not the quickest thing I ever heard, but still alright.
Melodic bullshit.

.

This next one sucks, in my opinion, however Marci seems to like it, and I got it for free. Its a split between Nothing, who are kind of alright, except for the shitty lyrics about liking people, and Libido Wins, who I cannot say anything good about. They are probably nice folks, the songtitles belie a lot of brain power, which I am sympathetic to, but the music is fucking weak shit. Nothing are good, solid hardcore played semi-fast, but not too quick, and definitely take the cake. NO blastbeats, so this should not even be on here.
But it is.

.

Next one is the legitimate CD of a death metal band who do their shit DIY, and their singer and frontman, Balint is a hardcore guy, so these folks have a really good attitude. Pretty soon, shows will comence, so you should come and visit Hungary while there is still something left of it. The blastbeats are iNcantation tempo, lots of thrashing, really good vocals, sick ass growls, that are so low, but still traditional growls, this is sweet. 9 tracks, its like the album was made in 94, except the sound quality is waaaay too polished for my filthy ears.
Urguluburgulu.
.
Next up is the Hungarina band Grow Up Fuck It Up, who play a mix of thrash and power violence. Their drummer lent me his tom and some of his stands, for which I am incredibly greatful, and this is their demo, also procured from Marci. These guys, some or all of them are straight edge, they are big, ointimidating and are pissed off on stage, and make fun of you, which I always like. After the show you feel dumb, and are full of anxiety. I think that is something that a lot of bands are missing, this aspect of intimidation and that this music, its not about you feeling good, its about misanthropy, its about problems, its about venting the problems you have. The demo is good, sounds too polished again, more noise, and this would be a favorite.
.
Next up is Atmoski Rat from Belgrade, Serbia. I got their shit when we played their town, and they opened, and they sounded like aFinnish band form the 80s, which is a good thing, in my opinion. No blastbeats, not much to say, short, fast, d-beat filled absolutely rules.
.
This next band is PFA from Hungary, and how they rule. Ten points in my book, their stage performance lacks balls, but they like it that way, and so do I. The CD sounds good, its fastcore, its actually fast, the lyrics are awesome, they are about the town they are from, the problems they got, posing in the hardcore scene, friendship, shit that this music should be about. The artwork is also awesome, but I will not share it with you. I took pictures of all of this crap, but I just refuse to put it up, cuz it does not look good. Deal with it.
.
Paskuda are a band from Slovakia, and the last time we played with them, which was too long ago, they gave me their awesome CD-R for free. For some reason they like my crapy band, they know some of the tracks as well, which is awesome, and now, I know some of theirs. Their singer sounds like a rodent of sorts, super high pitched, the snare sounds like a metal pot being banged on, which is a sound I actually enjoy a great deal. The guitar stuff in it is also good, a lot like Destroy!, but somewhat faster, they do play crust after all, and they do it superbly well. It involves blastbeats, too many intros, and a sick, sick sound. Studioish, but not that bad, actually. Loudest thng on here is the snare, which is always good for the worshiping of the blastbeats.
.
And last but not least, the guys who occupy the tip of my heart, some Turkish guys who have 1 million bands, and counting (Circuits Made Flesh, Never Reach Home, You Name It I Hate It, Lost In Bazaar, and a ton of other ones), and this is their best one, that still exists. This one is called Ultimate Blowup, and this is their two CD-Rs that I actually own, they have more stuff out, all of their stuff is super lo-fi, its power violence, but it is just done so well, with so much cretaivity form all of the guys, and they are such massive, massive potheads, you must love them, just for who they are. But their band(s) absolutely rule, so love them for that too.

shoot the flying luttenbacteria cult.

i have nothing special to say right now, just some really fast and noisy shit to show.
sorry, i cant rant and rave that much as mark, but soon ill come up with something he does all the time. but heres a really cool picture, i laughed on it for like an hour. enjoy.


first stuff is a demo from leeds based power violence band SHOOT THE BASTARD. i know the drummer for years, but we havent talked for a while now, but warren does really awesome stuff on this little demo. straight ahead, noisy and fuckin raw, no bass, and agressive. really good.
shoot it.

next up is a concept album by one of my favourite bands of all time, THE FLYING LUTTENBACHERS. its something like black metal inspired inside-out noisy free jazz chaos. really evil stuff, part 4 is one of the best songs ever written. weasel walter plays insanely fast blastbeats, as well as mick barr and ed rodriguez on guitar. the bass player is mike green from noise band BURMESE. gotta check this out if you dont know the luttenbachers yet, this is a really good starting point to love them.
void of void of void of void.

and the last thing in this post today is a live set of BACTERIA CULT, a project of chris dodge, power violence living legend and pioneer from bands like spazz, despise you, lack of interest, etc, you know. this stuff is a lot like usual power electronics/harsh noise acts, but with 4 members, really cool stuff. sounds like early bastard noise records to me, i love it.
get the D-ZEEZ.

Atheism 101



I went to a positive hardcore benefit gig this past weekend, and it was fucking awesome. I had an excellent time, although there was a distinct lack of moshing, which I hate, also, some of the bands I did not like, but everyone played well, some money was raised for people who have been made homeless by the flooding and what not, that occured mostly in eastern Hungary, and I got shitfaced.
But what I realized in doing all of this is that, indeed, only 2% of the world are atheists, and even people who do not identify themselves as theists have crazy, mystical and weird beliefs about their place in the world. It is not whether or not you have beliefs that I care about, but how much people just dont care about proving or disproving them, that they just believe what they want to believe without so much as a second thought, without proof, without disproof, just on a "hey, that sounds good" basis. That's okay too, but let us not make any mistake about it, if you choose to do this, then you are being intellectually dishonest. And if you are like this, then don't ever argue with anything anyone ever says, because if people have to make this exception for you, then you have to make it for all people.
But aside from that, check this shit out. This is an aweosme TV show, hosted by atheists and talking about atheism. I just wanted to reference them and mention how awesome they are, especially doing this out of Texas, and having the balls to make it public access. They get some crazy phonecalls, most of the show is spent with answering calls.
I would embed it if I could, but this shit won't let me. Sadness engulfs my heart. I am gonna talk about some of the thing sthat are mentioned on this show, because I have beens aying these things, although nowhere near as eloquently as these fine folks are able to, because I lose patience and say things I regret way too fucking often (lookin at you, Fern!). Just to clarify a few things for any of you theistic grind freaks, and there are a few of you.
First and foremost, atheism does not state anything, it is not an ideology, it is not a positive statement about anything whatsoever!!!!!! This is important!!! An atheist does NOT say that there is no God, simply that as of right now, there is no reason to believe in one. Atheism is a response to theistic claims, saying they are unfounded. There is no positive content within atheism, "it" is not asserting anything at all. Once you have understood this, the next claim I will make will be self-explanatory.
As a theist, you cannot say to an atheist 'prove that God does not exist'. That simply makes no fucking sense. To go up to someone who is not saying anything, and tell them to prove it is ridiculous. As a theist you are making a positive claim, that there is something that we are not seeing, and as such the burden of proof is on you, you have to say what your evidence is. For any sane human being, you do no believe something until it is proven true. That is how any rational being makes decisions.
The third thing I want to mention is something I picked up from the show today, labeled the 3 pillars of apologism. These are deception, logical fallacies and mental or emotional manipulation. A lot of the times theists will try to intentionally or through ignorance deceive you with an arguement that sounds good, but is not sound. A logical fallacy, the second pillar, is an arguement that is set up on true claims, but is false, because it has bad reasoning. These laws of logic are universal laws, and they make sense because they make sense. They can be verified by anyone in any circumstance anywhere, on any planet. They always hold. Fallacies are always false, in any circumstance, just because they are. Look 'em up, they are fun. And when someone cannot win, they try to make you feel with them. This is the worst of all. Aside from not being any sort of proof for anything it is super manipulative.

The grind is some Colombian death-grind, a genre I love. This is Ancient Necropsy, 2nd album, the best in my opinion, entitled Deformed Kings Mummification. Just the title alone should suggest what kinda music this is. Also, this is a one man band, and I can really appreciate the fact that he can play all of those fucking instruments to this level. He is good, man. Also, I just love the way Colombians write death-grind, its fucking fast, and sloppy a bit too, rough around the edges, with all sorts of cool shit thrown in. Mostly blast beats. Impressive ones.

More Proof That You Are Being Kept In The Dark




A long time has gone by without a serious post. I wanna thank Marci for doing this blog with me, and for keeping it real, but he never, or very rarely does serious anything, and I myself am also a happy go lucky kinda guy. But when doing this blog, not only do I wanna worship blastbeats, but also introduce topics of interest, and my interests are fairly grave.
Thus it is tome to bring back the not so long ago begginings of the blog, and post about some rad shit. So, basically, the history that every countries textbooks teaches them is absolutely and irrefutably false. Our own pasts are being kept in the dark by the forces of what I believe to be evil men masquerading as skeptics. A lot of things, like that ancient Egyptians had electrcity, and that there are cave paintings of people wearing space suits, flying helicopters, etc, etc, and that there are some 15 cities that are currently underwater leads me to believe that, yes, unfortunately, we are not being taught the earnest truth. This is the systematic watering down and obscuring of ifnormation, because, like the BBC likes to tell you, knowledge is power, and the powers that be, or more so, the powr elite, do nto want a self-aware "upright mass", or just people who are not down with them in particular to know anything. They are robbing us of our basic skills necessary for survival, which I already mentioned in the first post, they are lying to us about our origins and history, while systematically making us dumber and dumber, whilst feeding those of us who are not content misinformation, so that you must do inordinate amounts of research to get to any sort of reliable source on any topic what so ever. That this is being done intentionally and with a plan in mind is outside of the realm of speculation, but as I do not want to prove that right now, and indeed it is very difficult to prove intention, let me get on with it.
So, there are pyramids in Europe, in Bosnia. The top soil that these pyramids where buried under, and where believed to be a hill, is at least 12 000 years old, and thats by some pretty conservative estumates. That means that the structures theselves, must be well over 34 000 years old. If you speak Hungarian, check it out here .
That there were denizens of Europe capable of bulding such structures, which not only rival, but surpass those of Meso-America in terms of size at least, implies that the current understanding of history is simply just not factual. That this knowledge is being marginalized by being cramped into the same categroy as idiots talking about aliens and psy-powers and angels and the devil possessing their relatives should not be a surprise. Telling the masses that these things are stupid, and that the only facts are those presented and okayed by the power elite and heads of universities, etc, and that all other knowledge is just speculation and object to ridicule is the best way to keep people believeing in exactly what you want them to believe in. So educate yourself, and fuck all authority. Keep in mind that a true skeptc does not believe until given evidence. If there is evidence though, than its not a question of belief.
And while you are fucking authority and educating yourself, might as well listen to some top notch mince and grindcore. This is from Rot, and its called "Sociopathic Behaviour", and it is my own rip, and an old one, so no pictures of the cover, but it has a guy screaming on it. The inlay has this guy with beard and hair dreaded together who looks like he just got done eating what little garbage the other hobos had left for him. Its fucked up. People complain because Rot cannot play their own songs well, but they do write some awesome music. I agree, it is hard for them to play their own songs, and usually that is negative, albeit in this case, I will make an acception for them, because I love them so much. I have a soft spot for micnecore bands like Archagathus, Cornucopia, Intestinal Disease, Acoustic Grinder, Lt. Dan, Rot, Cruel Face, and of course the almighty Agathocles. But it is sloppy as fuck, but I do not think it takes away formt he music in this instance. I never see this particular album up from them, everybody always spins the Cruel Face Of Life LP, which is also fucking amazing, get it from KTGA! or anywhere else.

The next thing I wanna share is not grind at all, but rather super fast hardcore. The reason I wanna share it is because it fucking rules, and because ti is the essence of pissed off. This is how I feel when I find out about thigns like these pyramids I talked about. People talk abot emotional hardcore and the listen to watered down, pussified, candy assed versions of bands like this. To me, this is emotional hardcore. Why? Well, it certainly is not because they bitch, moan and whine like emo bands, but because the songs are played with raw emotion and are about frustrationa nd being oppressed, and deal with perosnal feelings and topics. So fuck all that emo bullshit, listen to the real deal. This is Strong Intention, and the EP is called "Each Day Lived An Act Of Defiance", and I got it from am i mean? blog so utmost repsect goes out to Papst Benedict for unwittingly introducing me to yet another awesome piece of fast hardcore.

/////////\\\\\\\\\\ <- this is a mustache.


hey there worshippers. this post will be about some really obscure, noisy and untalented music again, but now im going to borrow some links from my friend Sasho, who runs YOUBLEEDWESMILE, which is full with KVLT STVFF.

so the first kvlt shit is Anal Macabre's epos, the favourite albumtitle of the blastbeat worshippers, UNTALENTED BOYS. its a lot like Sauerkraut, awful noisy stuff, sloppy playing, and horrible quality. you cant hate it, its a terror listening to it, but its so satisfying in a way. it was recorded in 1995, 22 tracks, each fuckin awesome. mark could bitch about this record for hours, i cant, im too lazy right now, and mark is somewhere in germany selling hats or something like that.

untalented and fucked up

next up is an epic album from Sauerkraut from bulgaria (AM is from bulgaria too by the way). you know them. i dont have to talk about it. its pure noise without any talent. fuck yeah.

*bulgarian title i cannot translate*

thanks for reading or not. marci.
