awakeup asked: So i see you have a lot of cool and maybe rare records, so, have you seen (or do you own?!?!) a record by a Chicago 1980s punk band called Strike Under???? or the compilation called "Busted at Oz"??

I don’t own, and have never seen or heard of either.  Sorry.

Seven Sisters Of Sleep - “Opium Morals” (A389 Recordings 2013) God dammit.  This band seriously cannot do any wrong.  Like if you want to hear the perfect blend of dark hardcore and brutal sludge this is the record to buy.  Like this is exactly how that combination of micro sub genres of hardcore should sound, and every band trying to have this sound nowadays should use this record as textbook to follow.  However, I don’t think recreating how amazing the riffs on this record is possible.  They are just so fucking catchy, like EyeHateGod level catchy sludge riffs, mixed with His Hero Is Gone brutal hardcore.  FUCK.  I can’t handle this record; I want to destroy everything in sight while spinning it.  BUY THIS SHIT NOW. -Log.

Water Torture/Six Brew Bantha - split (Nice Dreams Records 2013) So I got to see both of these bands like 2 weeks ago at ABC No Rio in Manhattan, both of whom I had never heard before the show, and GOTDAMN were they impressive.  I had to own this split, which I now do, thanks to the magical wonders of the merch table.   Water Torture hail from upstate NY, further upstate then me even, and play sweet ass power violence.  On this 7 inch they have three members, but when they played they only had two, just a guitarist and a drummer/vocalist.  Any band that has a drummer that does a large amount of the vocals impresses the hell out of me.  Actually both the bands on this split have a drummer/vocalist.  Anyway, the easiest (and therefore optimum) way to describe this band is they sound like Iron Lung. So that’s what I’m doing.  But fo’ rizzle, some of the most excellent PV I’ve heard in a long time.   Six Brew Bantha occupy the other side of this record cold blue record, a color like the cold country they hail from, Canada.  I can easily say SBB had one of the best sets I’ve seen this year, and I’ve seen a lot of amazing bands this year so far.  SBB play a crazy variety of grindcore, the kind with pointy band logos and crossed out musical notes.  They remind me a lot of Magrudergrind, like split with Godstomper era Magrudergrind, you know, the best era of Magrudergrind.  All three members of the band do vocals and it really adds to the chaos.  I love this shit.  I also picked up their LP that day and it’s just as good as this, if not better.   Track this record down or forever pose hard.  -Log.

Bestial Raids - “Prime Evil Damnation” (Nuclear War Now! Productions 2012) In preparation for seeing Ghost tonight, I decided I needed a good dose of blasphemy beforehand.   I picked this up at the end of the year when Nuclear War Now was having a clearance sale, or whatever you’d call it; whatever that is I bought an ignorant amount of records that day.  In addition to that and the other ignorant amounts of records I’ve bought, it’s taken me a while to get to this diehard slab of wax.   This is my first time hearing Bestial Raids, a black metal troupe out of Poland.  They play that insane kind of black metal where everything is a hypnotic whirlwind of blast beats and riffs, heavily reverbed vocals, and super scary intros (not really THAT scary).  The record isn’t amazing, but it’s not bad either; it someplace in between that is just good enough to satisfy my craving for bestial black metal.   Oh yeah, this is the diehard edition (that’s why I used the term earlier) that comes with a backpatch and poster and sticker and crap on colored vinyl.  That’s right, I’m diehard.  Boo-yah. -Log.  PS: sorry the crappy quality picture, I keep forgetting to buy batteries for my camera, so I’ve been using my phone to take pictures.

Direct Control - “Direct Control” (Grave Mistake Records 2008) I’m way behind on hearing this band, I know, but goddamnit if this isn’t like a perfect hardcore/punk 7 inch.  It really is though; there are 6 short thrashy punk jams included on this slab, just enough making you crave more.  The tracks are catchy, with snotty, snarled vocals that I can’t ever get enough of.  Love this shit. -Log.
