Tombstalker 7" EP

2011-10-13T13:38:00.004-04:00

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't done anything on here in a while, life has been hectic the past 2 months, but I'm back and I do have some goodies in store for you all. First up is a brand new 7'' from Lexington, KY's TOMBSTALKER, who play vicious black death thrash. This EP is 4 songs of total fucking awesomeness. It is available from my friend Josh May's KARMIC SWAMP label and I highly suggest you get one. Imagine if members of Dissection, Dismember, and Iron Maiden started a band and you have a pretty good idea of what this band is all about. The production on this is killer, the drums are perfect, the guitars are very audible with that swedish death distortion we all love, and fuck, this just rips and you will be all the better for checking it out. If these guys play around wherever you live, be sure to check them out, because they will probably destroy whatever venue they're playing at.

Dempsey & Eleven Shot By Two Split Tour Tape

2011-08-10T23:11:00.007-04:00

This tape is a mystery. I have had this tape since June 24th, 1998, when I saw both bands at the Commerce street show space in Johnson City, along with a band called God Hates Computers that I recall having a record by at one time, and local favorites Kakistocracy. Why is this tape a mystery? Simple. I have lost all the packaging to this tape, I don't know any of the song names, but what I do know is that this split is awesome. I have listened to it many, many times, and now here it is for you.

Dempsey is first up (at least for me), with eight tracks of some great noisy, chaotic hardcore containing a healthy dose of atmospheric keyboards. The keyboardist also has a few solo piano pieces, including an old rag-time piece and a song about his hatred for computer nerds. I recall their set pretty well, they played a short, loud, intense set, the keyboardist joking between songs with the other band members, and at one point he put aluminum foil down on top of his keyboard, setting little plastic army men and other small toys on top of it, pouring lighter fluid on it, then setting it on fire, continuing to play. I was impressed.

Eleven Shot By Two offer us some more chaotic hardcore, even if the beginning of the first track does throw me a little because I think it's going to sound like early Dinosaur Jr., but then it's raging hardcore. I always listened to the Dempsey side more, but the 11SB2 side is awesome as well, it's definitely grown on me more over the years. Some of the tracks on their side segued into each, so I left those tracks as one mp3.

I'm putting this up because there is absolutely NOTHING about either of these bands online except for a shitty review of their show on my old show reviews page. I hope somebody in either of these bands comes across this and helps me fill in the blanks on this great tape.

Anyone who wants to hear some really good, unheard punk rock would be a fool to not download this.

I hate fucking computer nerds.

Desolate Anguish - "Trainwreck Sessions" Demo

2011-08-07T22:48:00.005-04:00

Here is a six song demo from Desolate Anguish, a two piece black/doom/punk band from Knoxville. These dudes played with my band Hex Hammer last night in Johnson City, and I thought they were great. This is six tracks of primitive, dirgy, punk influenced black doom metal that (in my mind) brought comparisons to Hellhammer and early Graveland (without the NSBM connotations). These guys ripped it up last night. This is raw, nasty, grimy, filthy, repugnant, with no pretense of production, just hateful scraping guitar, torn throat vocals, and very punk drumming. I think it fucking rules. If these guys play around yr area, make sure to check them out. Visit their website and ask for a copy of this cd demo, they give them away for free.

Desolate Anguish - "Trainwreck Sessions" Demo

Suicidal Tendencies - "S/T"

2011-07-26T23:45:00.002-04:00

What can I say about this record that hasn't already been said in the 20+ years since it came out...Love 'em or hate 'em, S.T. was ALWAYS a force to be reckoned with. Before they started doing their crossover shit (and hey, I think that shit kills too...) there was this album....voted Worst Band AND Biggest Assholes in the '82 Flipside reader's poll, they still rocked the fuck out of the tracks on this album. Everyone at least knows "Institutionalized", the "hit" from this album...but what about "Memories Of Tomorrow" or the blatantly antagonistic "I Saw Your Mommy"? What about "I Shot The Devil"? Let me just tell you that EVERYONE should be familiar with the greatness that is this album.....break out your skateboards and your bandanas, it's time to get CYCO!!!

SUICIDAL FOR LIFE

Holy Terror - "Mind Wars"

2011-07-08T10:01:00.003-04:00

Back in the very early days of this blog, before I really knew what I was doing, I posted this album.....in wma format, and on rapidshare. Well, sorry about that. Here it is again, Holy Terror's criminally underrated "Mind Wars", which to me is nothing short of a masterpiece. Holy Terror was formed by Kurt Kilfelt, formerly one of the guitarists for american speed metallers Agent Steel, playing on their first album "Skeptics Apocalypse" before starting Holy Terror. They also recorded a demo and an LP before releasing this, their final album, and a metal album unlike many others. It has everything that a metal album should have...it is full of amazing riffage, top notch rhythm work, a vocalist who sounds like at any second he could lose his shit, and lyrics that are thought provoking and intelligent and very much against religion, but in a very theologically probing kind of way, not your typical anti religious metal lyrics. Whatever, I fucking love this album. It is a crime that a band like Metallica got huge (especially that piece of shit black album), and this band got relegated to near-obscurity when they could outriff and outplay Metallica any fucking day of the week. I found this copy in a small, fledgling record store in Richlands, Virginia, for ten bucks, still shrink wrapped, but one of those "cut-out" cd's you so often see. The guy in the store was amazed that I had even heard of Holy Terror, and said that the cd had been sitting in the store since it open fourteen years ago. This album is still available, but on a disc that has their first album also and omits a track. This is at 256k, in mp3 format (like I said, early days post, didn't know what I was doing), and scans of the lyric sheet are also included. I highly recommend this.

Mind Wars

The Malignmen - "Southgate Sessions" 7"

2011-06-22T14:07:00.004-04:00

Here is the second 7" from Knoxville's own Malignmen (first one is here), released by themselves on Plague Records, and as I remember available only to members of their mailing list. I have no clue how many of these were pressed or anything. A reader of this blog in the early days of the Northeast Tennessee Punk and Metal Archives sent me this record, since my copy of it (originally bought through the mailing list) was long gone. It was recorded by the band with a "borrowed four track in their practice space" and according to them, "this record's got balls"...whether or not that's true is up to the listener. I like it, the songs "Villain" and "The Closest Encounter" being the standouts. Once again, not the best rip in the world, but I can't find this anywhere else online.

The Malignmen - "Southgate Sessions" 7"

Fucked Over - 2011 Demo

2011-06-16T22:08:00.004-04:00

Here are some raw as fuck punk songs that I recorded at various times, by myself. I used a portable tape deck to record the drums, then played that tape through a stereo, then recorded the guitar and vocals over the drums onto another tape. I just had some songs in me that I had to get out and no band to use them for. Nobody wants to play punk rock in this town, I think it's true. Anyways, there is twelve songs in under 14 minutes, influenced by bands like Death Side, B.G.K., Anti-Cimex, Discharge, Impact, and others, and intentionally raw, noisy, and fucked up sounding. I'm happy with how it turned out, and I hope you like it too. This was recorded on tape and converted to mp3....I have no copies of this tape available yet. If you would like a copy of it, just put it on a cd and boom, you've got a copy.

Fucked Over - 2011 Demo

Austin Vomit - Various Compilation 2000 -2010

2011-06-13T13:51:00.006-04:00

Here are 31 tracks recorded by my friend, the late Austin Goins, and various friends and bands he had played with over the past 10 years. I'm putting this up as a memorial to him and his talent. No one wrote perverted pop punk tracks like he did. Up above is his hand written track list that he made when he was over here at my house, the last time I saw him alive. tracks 1-13 are the last tracks he recorded with his band Death Adder Day Care.

I miss you, brother.

austin and me in simpler times.........

Various Austin Vomit Compilation

2011-06-12T01:03:00.002-04:00

Today I lost a long time friend. He was in bands with me, we all lived together, and now he's gone. It breaks my fucking heart and I can't put into words how I feel. His name was Austin Goins, he was exactly one year and two days older than me. He was one of a kind, a real fucking rocker, and now he's gone. Those of you that knew him please carry on his memory. I love you Austin, and I'm going to miss all the great times we had, the laughs, the drug induced craziness, the music, the friendship.

Austin Goins - 11/20/80 - 6/11/11 R.I.P.

The Skudz - "Think For Yrself"

2011-06-11T01:15:00.005-04:00

In the mid 90's, Knoxville, Tennessee, a scant 90 minutes away from where I live, was a hotbed of punk rock bands. There were The Malignmen, who's first 7" was posted here, there was K.P.D. (and if anyone out there has any of their recordings, if there are any, please let me know!!), and there were these guys, probably my favorite of the bunch, even though I never got to see them while they were around, and only upon moving to Knoxville in 2000 did I hear this record. This record is something I've wanted to add to the Northeast Tennessee Punk And Metal Archives since I decided to start archiving the shit in the first place. What we have here is 18 sloppy yet fun punk songs in 28 minutes, including a cover of The Dicks' "Hate The Police". I would almost venture that The Dicks were one of the major inspirations for this band, as they use the same guitar sound, that jangly sound that we all love. The cover was from a Calvin Klein ad that got C.K. in a lot of trouble, apparently...and my guess at the hand scrawled "FUCK K.P.D." at the top of the cover is that it's not only a jab at the Knoxville Police Department but also the band of the same name. I could be wrong on that last count.

I recommend this HIGHLY, as to my knowledge The Skudz were the only band from this region that actually released an LP. They also released a 7" entitled "Kill Whitey" and I will be putting that up soon also. But for now, enjoy this slice of mid 90's Northeast Tennessee punk fucking rock! And if there's anyone from The Skudz who comes across this, I hope that your glad to see someone cared enough about this record to try to preserve it and spread it around, because it is fucking great, and more people (from Tennessee or not) need to hear it, and I hope that you drop me a line!

Once again, this was converted from a tape of the LP, so the sound quality might not be the best, but it's fucking punk rock, so who cares?

The Skudz - "Think For Yrself"

Deathbag 7"

2011-06-10T11:41:00.002-04:00

Here is a record that I've wanted to post since the beginning of this blog, and now I finally can. Here is the only 7" by Deathbag, six tracks of Discharge/Raw Power influenced punk rock. These guys played our old house twice, the first time we had heard the demo (it'll be up here soon), the second time Jesse, their drummer, sent me a package of tapes and there was this on one of the tapes. So I listened to the tape of the 7", loved it, and by the time they came back I knew the songs. I may be mistaken, but I do believe that this is a Scummified first, as I've tried to find these mp3's online but the only ones I could find are tracks from their split 7" with Witch Hunt, so this could be the only place to find these online. After Deathbag split up, their guitarist/vocalist and drummer switched instruments (to bass and guitar respectively) and started No Fucker, who released two 7" and two splits with Disclose before calling it a day. I'm biased in that I think these dudes can do no wrong. This record is killer, fast, raw, and they even cover Raw Power's "Fuck Authority", cowbell and all. Lyrics are included in the file.

A note on the mp3's: these were made from a tape of the 7", since I can convert tapes but not records...I think it adds to the rawness. I highly encourage all regular readers of this blog, if there are any, to get this. It is one of my favorite records that I own, and if you like fast punk rock at all then please check this out.

P.S. - Jesse; I told you it would be up here one day!!

And they grind the faces of the poor....

Plan 9 - '98 Demo

2011-06-09T19:10:00.004-04:00

Here's the story:

In middle school I started listening to punk rock and getting into the whole subculture of it. I started a shitty band in 8th grade, we played 2 shows in our year and a half existence(?) and called it quits. This was around the time I started high school, where I met two older dudes (they could drive!) who were into Misfits/Danzig, Motorhead, Black Flag, etc...it was natural that we start a band.

Plan 9 was born.

The initial incarnation was David Stacy on vocals, Daniel Dyck on guitars (it's pronounced like LIKE), yours truly on bass, and 12 year old drummer Marcus Durham. We learned some Misfits and Queers songs, wrote some originals, and generally pissed off Marcus' parents. I do believe that his mother to this day still dislikes me for purposefully setting my hand on fire in her living room, but that's besides the point. We would practice in his garage, the covers of songs were horrible (whole solo part of "Some Kinda Hate" missing, I recall), and the originals, while not rousing punk anthems by any means, were at least better than the Korn/Deftones spew that almost every other band in this area was playing at this time. We played some good shows, the first time I ever played a show out of state was with this band (and there's a tape of this but you'll never hear it), and we were young punks having fun, starting trouble, and playing shitty music. Which brings me to this tape. What you are about to hear is our ONLY recorded output, a two song demo tape that cost us $475 to record. It was released by us in very small quantities, I think only about 25-30 tapes were made. We gave them out at shows, to friends, put some on consignment in local music stores, and they all disappeared. Even I had lost my copy of it, the original master tape (but I still have the actual reel it was recorded on).......

I thought that this tape was lost to me forever.

Then a record store re-opened in Johnson City over a year ago, and a friend of mine who worked there was going through tapes from the old store, when lo and behold, there it was, one of the copies I took to them on consignment. It was given to Marcus, but since he was not on this recording (a drummer by the name of Danny Roberts is), he gave it to me, and now here it is, for you, the lost Plan 9 demo. Two tracks in under 4 minutes, very simple punk.

I thought about waxing poetic about this and the dreams of my youth and punk rock aspirations and so forth, but decided against it. It's just two damn songs of mid tempo teenage aggression fueled punk rock. So this post is for David S., Daniel D., Marcus D., Danny R., Sarah E. from Las Vegas who played 2nd guitar for us for a little while, I hope you're doing great in whatever direction life has put you in, and for all those who were around at this time.

Misfits of the Lost Generation

Herpes - Demo

2011-06-01T00:58:00.003-04:00

Here is an as yet unreleased demo by a new band called Herpes, featuring ex members of No Fucker and Atom Age and it is 6 songs that absolutely shred. Total raw punk that has already kicked my ass, and it will probably kick your ass also. This isn't even out yet, so there's no artwork for it, just 6 tracks of raw fucking punk, one a cover of Poison Idea's "Pure Hate". So check this out, and make sure to keep your eyes peeled for it whenever it actually comes out. I fully support any band that my buddy Jesse is in, and so should you.

Herpes - Demo

Bauhaus - "Mask"

2011-05-30T00:00:00.001-04:00

Darkness and Light. Facades we all hide behind. Fear of the unknown, and joy in overcoming those fears. Night and day, good and evil. All these are phrases that I would use to describe the variety of emotions that Bauhaus put forth musically and lyrically on this album, their second and best. From the rousing opener "Hair of the Dog", to the funk laden "Dancing", experimental weirdness of "Of Lillies And Remains", utter atmospheric creepiness of "Hollow Hills" (every single time I hear Peter Murphy say "in fear of death/in fear of rot" it sends chills up my spine), and the absolutely phenomenal title track "Mask", which always sounds to me like the evils of the night fading back into shadows as the light comes out at the beginning of a new day, there really isn't a bad song on this album. This is easily one of the best albums ever. Here is the video they made for the title track, and it is entirely eerie:

The Transformation is invested with the mysterious and the shameful

while the thing i am becomes something else

part character part sensation

Sarcófago - "Rotting"

2011-05-29T14:03:00.004-04:00

Sarcófago should need no introduction, their brand of high speed metal with lyrics about satan, sex, and booze being a big influence on many bands, especially their first album, the classic "Inri". Here is "Rotting", their second full length, which is 6 tracks in 32 minutes. The first track is a throwaway 30 second intro of moaning called "The Lust", which should have just been incorporated into the first real song, the ripping "Alcoholic Coma", and who knows why it stands on its own, but it does. This album seems at first to be sloppily played, but really grew on me the more and more I listened to it. My CD copy of this does not have the original cover pictured above, just a black cover with a grey logo and the name of the album in red, but it does have an awesome but blurry picture of the band on the back of it:

Any band with "Sexual Maniac" jeans has got to be killer, right? Right. So, invert your crosses, put on your bullet belts, grab some booze, and turn this up fucking loud!

Sex, Drinks, And Metal

Billy And The Boingers - Bootleg Flexi

2011-05-28T10:25:00.005-04:00

Bloom County was one of my favorite comic strips when I was younger, and even though it hasn't aged too well, there are still some very funny moments in it, and then there's this: a two song flexi disc included with early copies of the collection "Billy And The Boingers: Bootleg". I have wanted to post this on here for some time, as it is a departure from the usual fast and raging punk/metal posts I love to make. So I figured, for my 175th post on this thing, why not have a little fun. Included with this you will find the lyrics and some scans. I promise I'll be back with more metal and punk rock soon, but for now, enjoy.

U Stink (But I ♥ U)

Paintbox - "Singing Shouting Crying"

2011-05-22T12:21:00.002-04:00

Here is Paintbox's first full length, and what a fantastic album it is. Simultaneously melodic and harsh at the same time, with great japanese/english vocals and the fantastic guitar wizardry of Chelsea (from Death Side), how could you not like this? Highly recommended!

Sing A Crying Song

Void - "Condensed Flesh"

2011-05-15T00:03:00.004-04:00

Void is, without a doubt in my mind, the greatest hardcore band from the Washington, D.C. area, and quite possibly the best hardcore band ever. Their split with Faith is a classic, and mandatory listening for anyone remotely interested in punk rock. Here is "Condensed Flesh", their second demo from 1981. The songs on this that are also on the split seem to have more energy and rawness on this recording, and there's no annoying high pitched vocals on "Organized Sports" here either. For those who have never discovered the awesomeness that is Void, I submit this demo for your enjoyment. And for those already initiated, you know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about.

Void - "Condensed Flesh"

Funeral Oration - "The Godsend"

2011-05-14T00:50:00.005-04:00

Here is an early demo by Funeral Oration, one of many absolutely killer bands from the Netherlands in the 80's (see also Larm, B.G.K., Gepopel, Mornington Crescent, etc). This demo finds them ripping through 15 tracks, slowing down only twice for some proto-death rock songs that don't suck. I recently got this on vinyl, it was apparently issued in that format by Neder Again Records, which I cannot find anything about online, but they also released live bootlegs by Larm and B.G.K., both of which I would love to hear, if anyone has these, let me know! After releasing this demo, F.O. released the amazing "Shadowland" EP, which I posted here last year, and the incredible "Communion" LP, which you can find all over the place, just look for it. This could be my favorite of all their releases though. In the 90's, they were signed to Hopeless Records, and they put out some albums on that label that, while good, were nowhere near as great as their early stuff. Sadly, in 2004, vocalist (and guitarist on this demo) Peter Zirschky passed away, but this music will live forever. In fact it's partly the vocals of the early Funeral Oration stuff that I like the most. They're gruff, yet emotional at the same time, which is a pretty apt description of the music on this release also. Enough of my yapping, just get it!

Funeral Oration - "The Godsend"

Brain Death - "Personal Affair" 7"

2011-05-06T23:59:00.002-04:00

Hey everyone, yes, I've been neglecting the blog again, but I'm here to make it up to you with this classic japanese hardcore record from Brain Death. This is eight songs of raging fast female fronted hardcore that should bring a smile to yr face. Once again, big ups to my buddy Jesse for introducing this band to me all those years ago.

Brain Death - "Personal Affair" 7"

Volcanic Slut - "Blasphemaster" 7"

2011-04-12T14:43:00.003-04:00

Vinyl Rites has been putting out a slew of good releases lately, first the Mauser 7" that I posted here, now this, the first offering from floridians Volcanic Slut. Upon getting this record, I was sure this was gonna be total Sodom worship, but for some reason I was hoping it would verge into Sarcofago-like brutality....but it doesn't. That is not to say that this doesn't rip, because it does. It is 3 songs of straight up thrash metal with some punk underpinnings, and c'mon, anything named after an early Sodom track has got to be good. This is still available from Vinyl Rites, along with the Mauser 7", both of which I highly suggest you get. And also, before this post is finished, I have got to say that's one of the best record sleeve photos I've seen in a while.

Volcanic Slut - "Blasphemaster" 7"

Subversion 7"

2011-04-11T14:31:00.004-04:00

Here is a 7" by Subversion, a forgotten punk band from Belgium. This 7" was released way after the band broke up, and contains four tracks from the tape compilation "Second Time Around" released by Punk, Etc, and two tracks from the "Bollox To The Gonads - Here's The Testicles" compilation LP put out by Pax Records. Once again, thanks to Jesse for introducing this band to me. This record is great, driving and raw d-beat (comparisons to Discharge are inevitable) from a band that time has sadly forgotten.

Shot Down By Machine Gun Fire

D.I. - "Ancient Artifacts"

2011-03-26T20:48:00.004-04:00

D.I. were a band from Fullerton, CA, and were made up of members of The Adolescents, a band that should be familiar to punks everywhere. Featuring the Adolescents drummer, Casey Royer, on vocals, and guitarist Rikk Agnew, they released this debut album in 1984. The original album had nine tracks of great melodic punk rock, but what really makes it stand out is Rikk Agnew's guitar playing. He is, to me, one of the unheralded masters of punk guitar. Just about every melodic punk band took the groundwork that he laid out and tried to expand on it. His solo album, "All By Myself", is featured on most copies of the first Adolescents album so you should definitely check that out if you haven't already. This album also features songs that were originally done by Rikk Agnew on his solo album, "O.C. Life", and what I consider to be one of the BEST punk songs ever, the phenomenal "Falling Out". Actually, every song on this is great. This contains the original nine track LP, plus a full live set with six "unreleased" tracks and some of the funniest in between songs banter you'll ever hear. If you don't already have this, then don't be a damn fool and get it now.

How do you get a nun pregnant? You fuck her.

Discordance Axis - "The Inalienable Dreamless"

2011-03-25T11:04:00.004-04:00

Here is the last full-length from Discordance Axis. D.A. were one of the best, lightning fast grind bands ever, with intelligent lyrics about topics like Philip K. Dick novels, and science fiction in general. Dave Witte was the drummer for this band, now he's in Municipal Waste and they're NOWHERE near as awesome as this band. I think the fact that this band has no bass is great, and the guitar playing is all over the fucking place. The vocalist also does the standard low growl/high scream vocal style so popular in grind these days, but D.A. did it best. I highly recommend this.

Sound Out The Braille

Mornington Crescent - "Greetings From Amsterdam" EP

2011-03-24T11:29:00.005-04:00

Here is the only vinyl output by Mornington Crescent, a great and totally overlooked punk band from the Netherlands. Like their fellow countrymen B.G.K., Funeral Oration, and Gepopel, they play great punk rock but with really gruff vocals. Years ago my friend Jesse sent me these mix tapes and this was one of the EP's he taped me, and it became my favorite stuff on that tape. This EP is four songs in eight and a half minutes, so it shreds.

Mornington Crescent - "Greetings From Amsterdam"

Assück

2011-03-24T00:22:00.005-04:00

Assück is everything that is great about death metal in short, grinding hardcore songs. There's really not much to say about these two albums I'm offering you here, other than they are ultra brutal grinding metal with such an intense hardcore vibe that I don't see how anyone into metal and punk couln't be into this. In this file you will find TWO albums by this gone but not forgotten band, "Anti-Capital"(with "Blindspot" EP), and their final offering, "Misery Index", a total of 42 songs in under 40 minutes. Total fucking fury. Legend has it that they wouldn't play at the venue for Columbus Fest one year because the stage was too high, so they played on someones front porch down the street from the venue. I cannot imagine how brutal this show was, if it actually happened. Get these albums and play them loud.

"We starve our children before the banquet of knowledge while politicians indulge in the feasts of war."

Pussy Galore - "Corpse Love - The First Year"

2011-03-23T11:38:00.002-04:00

My freshman year of high school would have sucked if I hadn't had this album to get me through it. At that point in time (and at this point in time also), I was into stuff like Black Flag, Misfits, Sonic Youth, Sebadoh, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Descendents, etc....and Pussy Galore was like no band I had ever heard before. It was pissed like hardcore, yet noisy as Sonic Youth, with an utter sleaze and trash vibe that I just couldn't resist. Like being in a very sketchy, dark alley, while cars crashed and people screamed obscenities at you while they died. I fucking love this album, and just about every other subsequent P.G. albums. It is exactly what its name implies, tracks from the first year of P.G.'S existence, including the "Groovy Hate Fuck" and "Teen Pussy Power" ep's. Yeah, they hated Ian Mackaye, and yeah, this was Jon Spencer's first band, but fucking A this album rules. Hell, there's even some Rolling Stones covers on it for good measure. I used to think this album had a song on it for everyone to find offensive, check out "Cunt Tease" and "You Look Like A Jew" for proof. Why don't you get it now and find out for yourself?

For what I do to you, I should burn in hell.

Helmet - "Meantime"

2011-03-23T00:58:00.004-04:00

1992 seems like so long ago. When this album was released I was not yet eleven years old, but I knew it was heavy, and so by that standard, it was good. Here it is, almost 20 years later, and this album STILL holds up. I think it has excellent riffs, and I also think that John Stanier is one of the more under-rated drummers out there. I know that for some Helmet is an acquired taste, but this album has blown me away since '92, with no signs of stopping any time soon. It is a great, heavy, head banging album. Yes, I know that it is partly because of Helmet that crap like Deftones, Limp Bizkit, and the like are around and so popular, but I don't hold that against them.

Helmet - "Meantime"

Mauser - "End Of The Line" 7"

2011-03-15T23:08:00.004-04:00

Man, I have been seriously neglecting this blog. I do intend to make up for it though, starting...................now.

Two days ago we here at the House Of Scummified (that would be me and my lady friend Lindsay) received a package from our friend Josh May. Josh runs the fledgling record label called Karmic Swamp, who did not release this record, but has released some mighty fine records by bands like Veloz and The Men. When this package came it was a mix of black metal records and punk records, but this record blew me away.

Mauser hail from Gainesville, Florida, and this 7" is six tracks of raging hardcore in the spirit of your favorite scandinavian d-beat greats, but theres something else about this that just gets me. Maybe its the pissed lyrics, maybe it's the great drum sound (the rolls sound like fucking machine gun fire), maybe it's the fact that this record just flat out KILLS. I highly recommend this record for those who like furious, assaulting punk rock. I hope these guys play around here sometime, I'm sure they rip shit up live. This record is available from Vinyl Rites and once again, I seriously recommend it. Until you can save up money to get a legit copy, get it now, and get blown away. Then, support this band!

Mauser - "End Of The Line" 7"

All - "Allroy For Prez"

2011-02-28T02:49:00.003-05:00

The Descendents are one of my all time favorite bands. Their music got me through some rough times. They are truly one of the greatest bands to walk this Earth, and I will forever love their music. That being said, ALL is, as you may know, the Descendents, minus Milo. The fact is this though: ALL is a criminally overlooked and under-rated band. Sure, they get sneered at by most punks because of their overt sappiness, but this sappiness is within the confines of hook-laden, carefully crafted punk rock that will stick to the insides of your mind like the bubblegum it so wants to be like. This is their second release, an 8 song ep that is possibly the best thing they ever did. It features Dave Smalley (of D.Y.S./Dag Nasty fame) on vocals , Stephen Egerton on guitar, and the unstoppable duo of Karl Alvarez on bass and Bill Stevenson on drums. If I haven't said this before, I'll say it now...Bill Stevenson is the best punk drummer, ever. Standout tracks on this are "Skin Deep", "Wishing Well", and the great "Daveage".

All - "Allroy For Prez"

Lip Cream - "S/T"

2011-02-13T20:45:00.005-05:00

Here is one of the single greatest punk rock full lengths to ever come from the land of the rising sun. I am of course talking about Lip Cream's 1989 self titled album. They already had a slew of releases under their belts by the time they released this, a 12 song masterpiece of furious hardcore pummeling. Words cannot do this album justice. It is THAT good. Ranks up there with anything by Death Side, Gauze, Outo, The Comes, etc...If you have never heard this before, believe me, you are doing yourself a favor by getting it now!

Bloodsucking To Death!!

Rorschach - "Remain Sedate"

2011-02-13T20:19:00.003-05:00

Here is New Jersey's Rorschach, and their first full length, "Remain Sedate". They played hardcore with a slight metallic edge to the songs, and harsh, lacerated throat vocals. They released a split with Neanderthal and another full length that is way more metal then this one. I think this album is just intensely played hardcore fury, check it out for yourself.

Rorschach - "Remain Sedate"

Pestilence - "Malleus Maleficarum"

2011-02-10T23:00:00.003-05:00

Here is "Malleus Maleficarum" by Pestilence, a metal band from the Netherlands that started off as a thrash metal band , but later on incorporated more death metal and even jazz influences into their attack. Sadly to say, I don't find those albums as interesting as this one. Maybe it's the sheer amount of killer riffage to be found on here, maybe it's the short but ferocious minute and a half onslaught called "Extreme Unction", maybe it's the fact that this album destroys. Their follow-up album, "Consuming Impulse", has its moments but can't hold a candle to the intensity of this one.

Pestilence - "Malleus Maleficarum"

G.G. Allin - "Freaks, Faggots, Drunks And Junkies"

2011-01-23T16:20:00.000-05:00

G.G. Allin. Rock'N' Roll's #1 most wanted terrorist or complete utter waste of flesh and blood. I'll let everyone else decide that amongst themselves. While deciding, please use this album, his "magnum opus" to me, as part of your decision. I know where I stand. Asshole? Sure. One fucked up individual? Of course. Great punk frontman and instigator? Without a doubt. All I know is this...if you get easily offended, then Mr. Allin is by no means for you. If, you are like me and don't take everything exceedingly too seriously, then you might enjoy this. If you don't like it, well...

Suck My Ass It Smells

Puke - "Back To The Stone Age"

2011-01-22T11:20:00.000-05:00

Here is the first and only full length from Sweden's Puke, who sounds to me like some punks got a hold of the first two iron maiden records and applied it to fast d-beat punk. That's probably not a good description, but have faith in this: this record kills. It is fast, fun, full of great little maiden-esque riffage, and it makes me want to learn the swedish language so I can sing along with their infectious choruses. They also put out a 7" called "Back To The 30's" and a demo, which is more in lines with swedish bands like Mob 47/Anti-Cimex than the riffage beast they became on this album.

Puke - "Back To The Stone Age"

Unsane - "S/T"

2011-01-21T15:50:00.005-05:00

Before MTV put their video for "Scrape" into heavy rotation, NY's kings of noise Unsane were just a dark, heavy, noise rock band with bloody album covers. While I'm not a fan of their current output, I hold this album and the "Singles 89-92" compilation in very high regards. This album is a wall of noisy, distorted as hell, yet jangly guitar work, pounding, almost tribal drums, and distorted bass, with shouted vocals over top of it. A great album.

Vandal X

Rise - "Fight For Freedom"

2011-01-15T22:38:00.003-05:00

Here is a short, but absolutely killer 6 track offering from Rise, a band that I talked about in the early days of Scummified. They are from Japan and play ripping hardcore punk rock, definitely keeping the spirits burning, but I STILL cannot find any info on this band or their elusive demo that I once had a tape copy of, if interested in hearing two tracks from that, please go here. Otherwise, this little EP is great punk rock from a country that, it seems to me, has got punk rock down to a fucking science.

Rise - "Fight For Freedom"

Vlad Tepes & Belketre - "March To The Black Holocaust" Split

2011-01-10T22:32:00.006-05:00

Here is the Vlad Tepes & Belketre split album. Both bands were French black metal bands, part of the Les Légions Noires scene in the early-mid nineties, which also gave us bands such as Torgeist, Mutiilation, and Brenoritvrezorkre. This is a fantastic split, as both bands try to out distort and out-grim each other. The Vlad Tepes side is my favorite, just check the awesome 12 minute long "Drink The Poetry Of The Celtic Disciple" for proof. Not to say that the Belketre stuff isn't any less killer. Their contributions to this split are shrieked vocals, light speed drumming, nasty distorted guitar, and both bands have enough atmosphere for 20 other so called "true" black metal bands. Truly, a split release that remains undiminished with age, unrelenting and dark black metal from both of these bands.

In Holocaust To The Natural Darkness

Venom & Bathory Split LP

2011-01-04T11:28:00.004-05:00

Here is a split record by two bands who need absolutely no introduction. What I know about this record is this: apparently it was made in South America, in a run of at least 300 copies, but I can't tell if mine is one of those or yet another bootleg of a bootleg. The copy I own is on clear green vinyl. It is 7 tracks by Venom, and 5 from Bathory. The Bathory side is my favorite, as it seems to draw demos from the early stages of Quorthon's reign. The first song sounds more like the viking metal they pioneered, while the 2nd track sounds like first album stuff, 3rd track sounds like "Blood Fire Death" era, etc, etc. The Venom side is equally as good, with what I'm guessing is demos from the first 2 albums. A huge reason why I love this record and am very glad to have it in my collection is the fact that it could be just about the most black metal record I own. Sure, I've got some Darkthrone/Ulver albums, but this is really like having the birth of the genre on one LP, as you have the band that coined the term Black Metal and the band that truly defines Black Metal sound and aesthetics to me.

Year End Mega Post

2010-12-29T22:42:00.009-05:00

Hello all. December comes and I wanna be a bear, one that sleeps in the woods. It gets cold in this house in the winter months, so I don't get on as much as I would like to, so here is some stuff I've been meaning to post for a while, at least until I get some more stuff to put up here.

Haunted Woods After Dark - "Curses And Invocations" - Some ambient shit I recorded a few years back. Some of this found its way into the first Yog Sothoth demo. Nothing amazing, if you're into black metal/horror soundtrack/ambient noise check it out. Here

Kutthroat Krew - "Amsterdam Or Bust" - Years ago there was this rap group straight outta Church Hill, Tennessee, and this was their only recorded output. these guys smoked a lot of weed, and recorded this. Definitely not for most of my regulars, but it makes me think of crazy fucking times. Once again, this is not metal, it's not punk, it's like nothing else I've ever posted on here. Full Disclosure: one of the songs is called "Balls In Yo Mouth".

You've been warned. Here

Hopefully those should tide you all over until we ring in the new year. I hope everyone has a great one. Stay Scummy.

To all those we lost this year, R.I.P. (I'll especially miss Ronnie James Dio, Frank Frazetta, Leslie Nielsen, Captain Beefheart, Dennis Hopper, Irvin Kershner, Peter Steele and Dick Giordano, all geniuses in their respective arts who will be missed.)

EDIT (1/10/11) - redeived another dcma complaint, and so removed the 3 soundtracks that were here. hope you got them before now. i'm pretty sure it wasn't balls in yo mouth that was infringing on copyrights.

Preacher - "Trapped In Hell"

2010-12-15T12:17:00.004-05:00

Here's some obscure mid-80's thrash that rips, too bad it was the only thing that California's PREACHER ever released, as it shows promise of things to come that sadly never did. It is five tracks of fast, evil thrash metal that is all about sacrificing whores, pain, and various and sundry evil metal subject matter. The above image is not the actual cover of this e.p., just something I threw together for the hell of it.

Excruciating Pain

Sodom - "Mortal Way Of Live"

2010-12-01T14:32:00.004-05:00

Here is some live Sodom, recorded during the "Sodomania World Tour" in 1988.

It's practically the entire "Persecution Mania" lp (which is the best Sodom album), plus tracks from "In The Sign Of Evil", "Obsessed By Cruelty", and more, including a cover of Motorhead's "Iron Fist". It is seventy-two minutes of live, vicious thrash metal. This one is pretty big, its ripped at 320, so play it loud.

And what the fuck is up with the guy trying to lick the cat's asshole on the cover? Weird shit.

Sodom - "Mortal Way Of Live"

Irvin Kershner R.I.P.

2010-11-29T12:39:00.001-05:00

Today the world lost Irvin Kershner, director of The Empire Strikes Back, Never Say Never Again, and a personal favorite, Robocop 2. This followed yesterday's news that actor Leslie Nielsen passed away. This year has sucked. You'll both be missed.

Peaceville Volume 4 (Compilation)

2010-11-29T12:00:00.004-05:00

Here is an old Peaceville compilation I stumbled upon that runs the gamut from doom, death, black, and electronic noise and features some great bands when they were at their peaks and some pure crap (i'm not overly fond of the noise tracks, I confess). I wanted to post this earlier, but Mediafire has been giving me hell for the past few days and only recently has let me upload anything.

Peaceville Volume 4

The Call Of Cthulhu

2010-11-26T12:31:00.004-05:00

Here is an adaptation of one of H.P. Lovecraft's best, the classic The Call Of Cthulhu. It is word for word the original text of the story, just in comic book form! This is from John Coulthart's graphic adaptation of Lovecraft stories entitled "The Haunter Of The Dark And Other Grotesque Visions", which is available here. This is the only adaptation I have seen from it, but the pictures on his website make it look really awesome, so I might have to get a copy of it. Just check out the picture of R'lyeh above, which looks alot better than this scanned .pdf file I share with you.

Obliveon - "Whimsical Uproar"

2010-11-25T16:08:00.006-05:00

Here is an early demo by Canada's Obliveon, who seem to have went straight into obscurity before finally meeting their own oblivion. An obvious comparison upon first listen is to early Voivod, but there's something else lurking in these four songs. I always thought it sounded like Voivod and "Persecution Mania" era Sodom, but i'll leave that for you all to decide. I think this demo destroys. The musicianship is incredible, the riffs rule, it's fast and uncompromising, and one of the lyrics is "science should be used to help us screw"...how can you resist? And also, check out the neck snapping fastness at 1:10 in the first song. THAT is goddamn brutal. Unfortunately, this band didn't release too much else, their first LP is called "From This Day Forward" and it really sounds like they were trying to be more tech than thrash. It has some good songs, but this demo is really the best thing they did.

Obliveon - "Whimsical Uproar"

Thin Lizzy - "Black Rose"

2010-11-22T16:59:00.004-05:00

Today is my birthday, but I have a present for you. Here is Thin Lizzy's "Black Rose", surely one of the greatest rock albums ever made. The guitar work on this one is amazing, and let it be known that Phil Lynott is the greatest rock lyricist ever. Get this, chill out, and let Thin Lizzy take over.

Got To Give It Up

Unseen Terror - "Human Error"

2010-11-18T13:54:00.004-05:00

When I was first discovering punk rock and metal, there wasn't too many places around where I live that had that sort of music. We had a Record Bar at the mall, we had Dad's CD's (now sadly gone), and about a half hour away we had Back Door Records. It was at this store that you could find some obscure metal gems. The first things I remember ever getting from there was a tape copy of Slayer's "Reign In Blood", a cd version of Terrorizer's "World Downfall" (and how much those fucking albums destroy is surely documented elsewhere all over the 'net), and this, a tape by an unknown british band by the name of Unseen Terror. Back then I knew that Shane Embury was bassist in the mighty Napalm Death, so when I saw this tape and saw him listed as drummer I had to check it out. I bought it, took it home, and played it so much, well, it broke. Thank Cthulhu for the information age, where everything is digital, so I can listen to this album again and again. It is 20 songs of politically charged grind, when grind wasn't fucking stupid gurgle vocals and the like. Besides featuring Shane Embury of N.D., it also features Mitch Dickenson of Heresy on guitar and vocals, so if members of Napalm Death and Heresy doing fast, punkish grind is your thing then you have hit the jackpot! Did I mention they also have songs about Garfield?

Burned Beyond Recognition

Twin Peaks - O.S.T. by Angelo Badalamenti

2010-11-14T21:57:00.005-05:00

"Who Killed Laura Palmer?"

That was the question on everybody's mind in 1990, when David Lynch and Mark Frost teamed up to bring us Twin Peaks, a show which only lasted two seasons but had enough ideas and talent for another three. For those who haven't seen it, it's about this small, sleepy little lumber town in the Pacific Northwest, populated by quirky, eccentric characters, and how this town is turned upside down by the death of a teenage girl named Laura Palmer. Who did indeed kill her? Well, I'm not going to give it away, just watch the show. One of the best shows ever on tv, and worth repeated viewings. It features great performances by Kyle MacLachlan, Ray Wise, Jack Nance (he of Eraserhead fame), and many others. I'll never forget watching this show with my mom when it was originally on, and the episode in season two where they reveal who Laura's killer is, and how it scared the piss out of me.

This score is by Angelo Badalamenti, and features three songs with lyrics by David Lynch and vocals by Julee Cruise. The music perfectly fits the show, but is good to listen to whenever, especially if theres pie and coffee, or a black lodge, in your future.

Fire Walk With Me

They Live

2010-11-11T15:12:00.005-05:00

John Carpenter's They Live is one of the best paranoid sci-fi/action movies ever. If you have never seen it, stop reading this and go watch it NOW! Don't worry, I'll still be here when you get back.

Back? Now, wasn't that awesome? For those who don't wanna get away from their computers, check out the scene below, surely the greatest fight scene ever filmed.

Now that you've done that, may I suggest getting this fine score by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth?

"I'm giving you a choice. Either put on these glasses, or start eating that trash can!"

COMICS

2010-11-07T13:35:00.004-05:00

These are just a small sampling of some of the older comics I own. The last 5 are the ones that are most sacred to me.

Voivod - "Killing Technology"

2010-11-06T22:39:00.005-04:00

Why have I never extoled the virtues of Canada's Voivod before? It was an oversight which i will remedy now. This is their 3rd full length album from 1986, entitled "Killing Technology". It is what I like to think of as geek metal: excellent, headbanging riffs,blazing solos, bass and drums bashing along at punk tempos with very distinct timing changes, and lyrics about sci-fi themes. I like to think that I could sit in a basement in 1986, with a nice hesher haircut of some sort, finishing Neuromancer for the 4th time, then putting this record on and playing the old GURPS Cyberpunk rpg with some friends. Why don't you do that now?

We Are Connected

Sigh - "Ghastly Funeral Theatre"

2010-11-06T13:17:00.005-04:00

Here is "Ghastly Funeral Theatre", an e.p. released by Japan's SIGH in 1997. This band pushes the boundaries of metal, always sounding to me like a metal band doing a lot of acid, watching a lot of 70's horror and listening to avant garde jazz/funk fusion/prog rock records. This e.p. is more squarely on the metal side of things, and is completely awesome, no filler tracks, just awesome metal. If you have never heard Sigh before, this is the place to start.

Also, what do you all think of the new banner up there?

Who Is Calling My Name?

Curse Of The Magi - 2005 Demo

2010-11-05T15:00:00.001-04:00

Here is a demo from unheard local band Curse Of The Magi, which existed briefly during 04-05 and features members who were in bands like Ikkabod and Cheapskate, which is about what this sounds like. If you haven't heard either of those bands, I have posted them elsewhere on this blog. A very odd amalgamation of pop punk and Maiden-esque metal, which definitely sounded different from anything else going on around here at the time. Half of this band joined up with me and formed Deeds Of Midwinter, which also was short-lived but played a bit and do have some recordings which I might post up here someday.

Thunder Brings The Storm

Phantasm - O.S.T by Fred Myrow & Malcolm Seagrave

2010-11-04T22:09:00.003-04:00

Here is the soundtrack to one of the most surreal, odd, and downright creepy little horror films you're likely to see, Don Coscarelli's "Phantasm". This was one of the movies that frightened the crap out of me when I first saw it, with its little hooded people and The Tall Man, chillingly portrayed by the excellent Angus Scrimm, walking through the halls of one of the creepiest mausoleums ever, and the damn spheres, going around, drilling for brains. It freaked me out when I was younger, and to this day my mom swears that it's the scariest movie she's ever seen. Don Coscarelli also directed "Beastmaster" and "Bubba-Hotep", and an excellent episode of "Masters Of Horror" called "Incident On And Off A Mountain Road", from a short story by Joe Lansdale, which also features Angus Scrimm (and drilling for brains!), which brings us back to the point, which is that this is the soundtrack to Phantasm, eerie, scary, and just for you.

Here, Boy!

UNFLINCHING EYE

2010-11-02T15:03:00.005-04:00

I wanted to take a break from music posts and stuff to give a shout out to one of my favorite blogs out there, the amazing Unflinching Eye. The maker of this fine blog, one Aylmer, is a follower of Scummified and even if he wasn't, I would still follow his blog. It is a horror blog, about horror films, made by a dedicated horror fan. It is consistently well written, very informative, and just flat out awesome. Do yourself a favor and check it out. It is well worth your time if you are a horror hound like I am.

I'll be back with some more posts soon, including some more horror soundtracks that i didn't get a chance to post before Halloween, more punk and more metal and hopefully some more unheard regional music also. Stay Tuned!!

Misfits - "Walk Among Us"

2010-10-31T21:46:00.003-04:00

What do you mean you haven't listened to The Misfits yet today? It's Halloween, hell, there's only about two hours left in it, and you haven't broken this out? Shame on you. If you don't have this, why are you even reading this when you should be downloading it?

It's not Halloween until this gets a spin, at least once.

Happy Halloween!

Dawn Of The Dead

2010-10-30T14:01:00.006-04:00

Here is the incidental "stock" music to George Romero's 1979 magnum opus Dawn Of The Dead(I was also noticing while watching Dario Argento's "Tenebre" how much of Goblin's score to D.O.T.D. was featured in that film, but I digress...).

Dawn Of The Dead is simply the greatest zombie movie ever, the highest point in a trilogy of high points from Romero. Mere words can not give credit to the love I have for this movie. One day i might wax philosophical about it, but not today. Just enjoy this. One more day 'til Halloween......

When there's no more room in hell....

Day Of The Dead - O.S.T. by John Harrison

2010-10-29T13:45:00.006-04:00

Here is the soundtrack to George Romero's 1985 masterpiece Day Of The Dead. Reviled by many when it was originally released, this movie has since gone on to be revered by many who appreciate its totally unsympathetic characters, its very nihilistic and downbeat pace (compared to the more upbeat and comedic Dawn Of The Dead), and its absolutely mind-and chunk-blowing "EFX" work by maestro Tom Savini. In the 80's, I guess saying just "effects" or "fx" couldn't do justice to Savini's work here, so they had to add the "E" before it to signify the extremity of the fx. Also, some of you may not know that the original script was much different than what was filmed, those interested in reading this should do so here. If you don't want to read what could've been and are content with what you have, may i also suggest having this, the score to this fine film? Very dark and dramatic, but with a slightly Caribbean flavor to it, which is odd, but really adds a layer of hope to the otherwise totally bleak and hopeless situation. I would also like to state for the record that I hold Night, Dawn, and Day as the three finest examples of zombie cinema ever, and yeah, I still think Romero's zombie movies are light years better than others being churned out now. In my opinion, he fucking started the genre, and the man can do no wrong.

The Darkest Day Of Horror The World Has Ever Known!

Darkthrone - "Transilvanian Hunger"

2010-10-27T22:33:00.004-04:00

I'm not going to say much about this. If you're into black metal or metal at all, you've probably heard this, or parts of it, or at least heard of it, or know of its reputation. I consider it a perfect example of raw, cold, almost hypnotic black metal. Another favorite of The House Of Scummified.

Slottet I Det Fjerne

Goblin - Live 1979

2010-10-23T23:31:00.003-04:00

If you've been following this blog for a while, you should know about my love for Italian prog legends Goblin. Simply put, I think they're one of the single most amazing bands ever. Here is a live recording that I know next to nothing about, other than that it was recorded in Italy in 1979, probably features the line-up on the "Suspiria" soundtrack, and contains songs from Profondo Rosso, Suspiria, Roller, and the under-appreciated Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozza Mark. The recording is good, and I think it's just awesome to hear Goblin at their peak, playing these songs live.

Goblin - Live 1979

Bad Taste O.S.T.

2010-10-17T10:00:00.003-04:00

Today is my lady Lindsay's birthday, so in her honor I'm putting up the soundtrack to one of her favorite movies, Peter Jackson's masterpiece Bad Taste. If you have never seen this movie, please, treat yourself to 90 minutes of pure splattery entertainment. Big assed aliens, bowls full of alien vomit, enough splatter to satisfy any horror fan, and enough humor to keep you laughing while simultaneously saying "Eww, Gross!". Did I mention exploding sheep and a hero who has to keep his brains in his head with a belt? I don't want to give much away about this movie, other than it is a classic of the genre, whatever genre it is. I honestly feel that it is one of the rarest of movies, a horror/sci-fi/action/comedy that actually works. Up there with Evil Dead 2, Re-Animator, and Jackson's own Dead Alive as splatter comedies that transcend mere horror/action/comedy genres to become something awesome on its on. A landmark film, it remains Peter Jackson's best film to date, with Dead Alive being a very close 2nd. Highest recommendation, see it now. But first, download the soundtrack.

Happy Birthday Lindsay!

The bastards have landed!

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 O.S.T.

2010-10-16T01:19:00.004-04:00

Here is another helping of 'Saw soundtrack for you all today, with the soundtrack to Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2. I personally love this movie. It's fun, fast paced, features great gore fx by Tom (The Master) Savini, and the acting in it is top notch. I mean, c'mon, you got Jim Siedow reprising his role as "The Cook" from the first film, and we get introduced to Leatherface's other brother, the great, maniacal Chop Top, played with gusto by Bill Moseley. And don't forget Dennis Hopper in one of his more gonzo performance as Texas Ranger Lefty Enright, who's been tracking the Sawyer family for the 14 years since the original film. Also, on the dvd copy of this i have, there are deleted scenes including a yuppie massacre, and a great scene involving Joe Bob Briggs telling two women about the magic of hollywood effects. All in all, a great movie, with a great, very 80's soundtrack. I searched high and low for this for years, thanks to the magic of torrents I can share it with you all now. Bands featured on this soundtrack include The Cramps, Lords Of The New Church, Oingo Boingo, Concrete Blonde, and more. Dog will hunt!

Lick my plate, you dog dick!!

Leatherface - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III O.S.T.

2010-10-14T10:14:00.005-04:00

Here is the soundtrack to the universally maligned 2nd sequel to Tobe Hoopers 1974 classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre, "Leatherface - Texas Chainsaw Massacre III". This movie tanked at the box office when it came out, mostly due to the lackeys at New Line Cinema heavily editing this movie because it was "too violent". In the words of Chas Balun, it's supposed to be a fuckin' massacre, not a picnic! Anyways, this movie deserves to be seen, as it is WAY better than these jackshit remakes they've been doing. The script for this was by splatterpunk author David Schow, writer of "The Kill Riff" and the great short story "Jerry's Kids Meet Wormboy" from the excellent zombie anthology "Book Of The Dead", also the screenwriter for "The Crow" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning"(which I confess to not having seen, even though I am a fan of Schow, not a fan of remakes). It was directed by Jeff Burr, who also did the under-seen and under-appreciated Vincent Price movie "The Offspring". And did I mention it stars Ken Foree (Dawn Of The Dead, From Beyond, Devil's Rejects) and a young Viggo Mortenson (Lord Of The Rings, A History Of Violence)?

Anyways, back to Leatherface and this soundtrack. I searched high and low for this and could never find it until now. It is predominantly a metal soundtrack, featuring tracks from Laaz Rockit, Sacred Reich, Wasted Youth (L.A.'s Wasted Youth?), Death Angel, and more.

Here's your invitation to come join Leatherface!

The Omen - O.S.T. by Jerry Goldsmith

2010-10-13T20:46:00.005-04:00

Here is Jerry Goldsmith's Oscar-winning score to the 1976 classic of satanic horror, The Omen. I know a lot of people think this movie sucks, or it's not scary, but you know what? It still rules. Features one of the best (although relatively bloodless) decapitations in screen history, Gregory Peck being crazy,and this score, which is about as chilling and haunting as it gets.

"I love you Damien! It's all for you!"

John Carpenter's The Thing - O.S.T. by Ennio Morricone

2010-10-09T23:34:00.002-04:00

John Carpenter's 1982 horror masterpiece The Thing is one of the very few remakes that I absolutely love. It is very bleak, full of paranoia, full of splattery fx work, and it's all set against a frozen wasteland backdrop and Ennio Morricone's very Carpenter-esque score. If you have never seen The Thing, you must. The soundtrack is a haunting experience in it's on right also. Possibly Kurt Russell's best moive, could also be Carpenter's best also. And, I will say it again, Rob Bottin's FX work is still jaw dropping and queasiness inducing some 28 years later, and could possibly never be equaled. An absolute masterpiece of terror.

"I don't know what's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is!!"

Bathory - "Under The Sign Of The Black Mark"

2010-10-06T21:47:00.005-04:00

Sweden's Bathory should need no introduction, and it's a damn shame that I haven't posted this here yet, but here it is now. This album is another of those albums that truly define black metal for me. Dirty, raw production, evil riffs, bashing drumming, and more. And just check out the riff at 1:30 during the song "Chariots Of Fire". Yes, Venom may have coined the term "black metal", but Bathory fully delivered the goods with this album. Features the all time classics "Enter The Eternal Fire" and "Equimanthorn" also. This album just destroys, and is definitely not for the weak or people who want pretty, polished, symphonic bullshit, 'cause there's none of that to be found on this beast of an album.

Enter The Eternal Fire

Phenomena - O.S.T.

2010-10-05T13:57:00.005-04:00

Here is the soundtrack to Dario Argento's 1984 film, Phenomena, starring Jennifer Connelly and the late, great Donald Pleasance. It also features Michaele Soavi, thousands of insects, a pit of decomposing body parts, and a trained chimpanzee with a straight razor. So, in other words, it's a masterpiece. The soundtrack is equally awesome, with a score by Claudio Simonetti and tracks from Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Andi Sex Gang, and more.

here is the video for the theme, performed by Simonetti, video directed by Dario Argento. It was nicely added to my dub vhs of this fine film.

Phenomena - Original Soundtrack

Mother Of Tears OST - Claudio Simonetti

2010-10-04T22:49:00.005-04:00

Well, my friends, it's still a few weeks away from Halloween, but here at Scummified, we aim to make Halloween an all month thing, so I'm starting the festivities a little early. Here is Claudio Simonetti's (he of Goblin fame) score to Dario Argento's final part of his "Three Mothers" trilogy, The Mother Of Tears (or "La Terza Madre" as it's known in Italy). The score is classic Simonetti, full of keys, chants, and more scary stuff going on. The movie is good, but not as good as the first parts, the classic "Suspiria" and "Inferno". Yeah, it's gory and fast paced, and better than a lot of other horror movies being released these days, but it just doesn't compare to his other works. Anyways, the score is great, so check it out!

"Who wants to eat the girl?"

Crossed Out - "Discography 1990 - 1993"

2010-10-02T22:46:00.005-04:00

Continuing the pissed off posts, here is some of the most pissed music imaginable, California's legendary power violence quartet Crossed Out. I'm feeling lazy tonight, so here is what Wikipedia has to say....

Crossed Out was a power violence band from Encinitas, California operative from early 1990 until late 1993. Crossed Out played sixteen shows and released a demo, 7", split 7" with Man Is The Bastard. split 5" with Dropdead, and two songs for theSon of Blleeaauurrggh compilation.

In 1991, Spazz bassist and vocalist Chris Dodge, who also ran Slap-A-Ham Records,asked the band to send him a demo. Five months after that recording, in the fall of 1991, their seven song self-titled 7" was released, including a firing squad cover photo. In 1992, the band recorded a live radio show on KSPC, a split 5" with Dropdead, a contribution to Slap-a-ham's SON OF BLLLEEEAAAUUURRRRGGHHH! compilation 7", and a split 7" with Man Is The Bastard. By 1993, Crossed Out, along with Man is the Bastard, No Comment and Capitalist Casualties, played 924 Gilman Street's first power violence-only show, the Fiesta Grande. After the departure of original bassist Rich Hart, Eric Wood - bassist and vocalist of Man is the Bastard - volunteered to play bass; he remained with the group until their break up. The summer that followed, Dropdead toured the U.S with the release of their split 5", playing two shows with Crossed Out. An August 1993 show with Spazz, Los Crudos, and Dropdead, titled "Grindcore Night", on a flyer at Gilman St., led to the vocalist's comment "Fuck grindcore". "Fuck Grindcore" later became a bootleg 10" of their self-titled record. The group broke up in late 1993.

This is their discography, containing all the above records and live recordings. Crossed Out is definitely music to listen to when you just want to fight someone. I have the Fuck Grindcore 10", and it is pretty much just this discography. This is fucking hardcore. Listen and get set to kill.

Why? Because man will always be man.

Razor - "Violent Restitution"

2010-10-02T00:32:00.005-04:00

This past week has sucked. My van has been in the shop twice, I've spent over 400 dollars on a problem that is STILL happening, I'm broke, work a shit job, etc, etc. I don't really wanna start ranting on about it, let's just say that I have been and still am highly pissed off.....which bring us to Razor, Canada's finest thrash export. This band could be the very essence of pure, unbridled, pissed-as-shit hardcore thrash metal. The riffs keep coming at you like daggers, while the drums pummel you into neck-breaking frenzies. And the vocals..... I don't want to give to much away to anyone who hasn't heard this album, but it rules. Hard. If you like straightforward THRASH METAL, and haven't heard Razor, get ready to hear the best of the best. Oh, and have I mentioned that they are pissed? They are. And so am I.

Razor - "Violent Restitution"

The Ghoultones - "Voices From The Grave"

2010-09-28T21:23:00.006-04:00

Here are The Ghoultones, a band that operated out of Bristol, TN/VA and played horror tinged ska-punk. I saw these guys and played with these guys a lot in the late 90's. They seemed to play all the time around this area in 97-99, but various line-up changes eventually killed them. Members of this band also turned up in another bristol band, the more street punk Blue Light Casualties. I really don't know if these songs constituted a demo or not, but I found them off of some guy in Spain on Soulseek one day and figured they needed to go on here as a document of the various styles of punk rock that was around this area at the time. If you remember these guys, you know what to expect. If horror punk mixed with ska sounds up your alley, then you might dig this.

The Ghoultones - Voices From The Grave

Kreator - "Coma Of Souls"

2010-09-24T08:24:00.005-04:00

Kreator are German thrash legends and should really need no introduction. These dudes have been ripping it up since the early 80's and still put out good albums, their newest, Hordes Of Chaos, actually rips pretty hard. But this album, to me, is the pinnacle of their discography. It is everything a great thrash album should be. I never care about album production, but this album is produced excellently I think. the drum sound is awesome, the guitars sound killer (and oh those riffs) and the bass is even noticeable. And did I mention the riffs?

Kreator - "Coma Of Souls"

Venom - "Manitou" 12"

2010-09-23T10:56:00.002-04:00

Venom is a band that should need no introduction, and I can't believe I haven't posted any on here up until now. Venom are one of the best bands ever, dirty, raw, evil metal that just flat out damn rules. I would like to take this time to say that if you're remotely into metal and don't know of Venom, then you're really not that into metal. If you even make the claim that you're totally into black metal but don't like Venom, time to hang up the spiked wristbands and take off the corpse paint, because you're just living a lie. Anyways, here is their 1984 3 Song 12", "Manitou". I love this little EP. It's everything awesome about Venom in 3 songs. The tape version of this, if you can find it, has an extra interview with the band, but this is just the 3 songs. Lay down your souls to the gods Venom!!

Venom - "Manitou"

Senseless Apocalypse - "13 Tracks EP"

2010-09-22T23:35:00.004-04:00

Senseless Apocalypse was one of the first handful of Japanese hardcore punk bands I heard, and they friggin' blew me away. A long lost contact in Japan sent me some tapes and one of them was this seven inch on one side with the demo from Rise on the other side. I wore that tape out. So, the other day the great Terminal Escape posted a tape demo of theirs, and it made me dig out my copy of this 7". so here it is, for you all to enjoy. S.A. play extremely fast, a blurring wall of screamed vocals, blasting drums, and distorted guitar that just brings a smile to my face.

Golden Arm - "Times Are Tight"

2010-09-21T10:39:00.007-04:00

It's been a while since I've posted any local/regional music, so here is northeast Tennessee's very own Golden Arm with their 4 song, 2009 cassette, "Times Are Tight". It is pretty heavy hardcore.

Not really much to say today, just check this out. I hope you like it. It is still available from the band, so check out their myspace for more info.

Golden Arm - "Times Are Tight"

Zero Boys - "Vicious Circle"

2010-09-21T00:12:00.003-04:00

Welcome to the Vicious Circle.

This is Indiana's own Zero Boys with their first full length, 1982's "Vicious Circle". It is by all accounts a timeless classic of pure punk rock energy. The production of this album is amazing, the song writing skills are excellent, and the musicianship is one-of-a-kind. This album rolls right along with 16 tracks of fast, catchy, sing along punk rock with one of the absolute best rhythm sections in punk rock history. Seriously, if you don't like this album, you're fucked up. It is amazing.

Loud and proud, the new generation!!

Heresy - "Face Up To It!"

2010-09-19T20:00:00.008-04:00

Here is some Heresy for you all. For the uninitiated, Heresy play ultra fast punk rock. They were from Nottingham, UK, released this weirdly produced (that's putting it lightly) album in 1988, a split with fellow UK punks Concrete Sox, and the ever so awesome "Never Healed" flexi, plus some more eps/full lengths. This is the album that does it for me though. Something about its tinny guitar/bass sound and electronic (?) drums just makes me wish i could jump as fucking high as they could. I would jump all over my house and probably break all sorts of shit accidentally.

Heresy - "Face Up To It!"

Deep Red - Issues 1,2,5,6,7

2010-09-15T20:43:00.004-04:00

Thanks to the magnificent Manchester Morgue blog, i am going to share with you all issues 1,2,5,6, and 7 of the long gone, much lamented DEEP RED magazine. Deep Red, to me, is THE horror magazine of all times. Fangoria might be all color these days, but they've sold out to the idea of mainstream horror, Rue Morgue is hit or miss, and i haven't even seen this new revival of GoreZone, with its Maxim-ish covers that just don't seem like they're for the true red horror fans. Well, to paraphrase Deep Red's editor, the late Chas Balun, DEEP RED delivers the fuckin' groceries and then some. In these issues you'll see interviews with Dario Argento, Giovanni Lombardo Radice (italian horror king!), Clive Barker, horror writer Shaun Hutson, the infamous Gore Score, articles on Goblin, Fulci, Paul Naschy, and more more more!!! This is for true horror fans, not these wimpy remake loving pseudo-horror fans!

Deep Red: It looks you in the eye....AND SPITS!!

DEEP RED - THE HORROR MAGAZINE

As with the comics, you're gonna need a .cbr reader with these too.

P.S. - I have issue 3 of this magazine, one day i might scan it all for inclusion......it does have an excellent Tom Savini interview in it.

Night Of The Living Dead Prelude

2010-09-15T20:34:00.004-04:00

Here is a one shot comic published by Fantaco Enterprises (publishers of such fine horror stuff like Deep Red, Gore Shriek, etc...), which, as it says, is a prelude to the events occurring in George Romero's 1968 classic "Night Of The Living Dead". Fantaco also did a 4 issue mini-series adapting N.O.T.L.D., which i have never been able to track down. Anyways, check this out.

Once again, you'll need a .cbr reader like Comical for this.

Night Of The Living Dead Prelude

H.P. Lovecraft's "From Beyond", Adapted for comics by P. Craig Russell

2010-09-14T12:57:00.003-04:00

This is something new that I've also wanted to try for a while here on scummified. If you know me, you know that i love comic books. it's true. i LOVE comic books. it is a fantastic medium, much neglected and look down upon by people who think that these four color throwaway mags are strictly for kids and should never be read by anyone over the age of 10. I have been reading and collecting comics for as long as i can remember, and have a good sized collection with some books i never thought i would ever have (close to completing a run of EVERY Swamp Thing series, ever). Anyways, i digress. Comics are NOT just for kids, and to make a point, here is P. Craig Russell's adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's "From Beyond" from a 1994 issue of that "premiere adult illustrated magazine" Heavy Metal, that is, well, downright beautiful stuff from a master comics illustrator. Russell has also adapted Wagner's "The Ring Of The Nibelung" and other musical works into comics form, the Robert E. Howard Conan story "The Jewels Of Gwalhur" (available in a very nice and inexpensive hardcover version), and is also a frequent collaborator/adapter of Neil Gaiman. He has a very fine style, and, well, its his fine line work and Lovecraft's story that makes this awesome.

This file is a .cbr file and you will need a Comic reader to view it with. I suggest Comical. It is a quick download, and very easy to use.

Memories Of A Lifetime - The Adam Brewer Story.

2010-09-14T10:40:00.005-04:00

Here is something I've wanted to do with Scummified for a long time....post a movie. A few months ago, the Appalachian Media Institute made a short (9 min) documentary about Adam Brewer, the one man force of nature that is Globsters. He was recently kind enough to send me a copy, which I am now kind enough to share with you. This movie is 9 minutes long people, you have no excuse to not download it. It is Adam talking about all the things that make him a rad person, his love for his dogs, knives, punk rock, his like/dislike of the area he lives in, (I've lived in Hazard, KY too...and it sucks) and it is all interspersed with a little live footage (the hit "Pretty Women" is included).

I love Adam, and I love this documentary. I wish it could've been a little longer though, but that's alright. You must check this out, Globsters fan or not. It is nicely shot, short, and is a .avi file. Check it out.

Memories Of A Lifetime - The Adam Brewer Story

Left For Dead & Acrid - "Hacked To Pieces" Split LP

2010-09-08T15:58:00.004-04:00

Here is one of the coolest looking records ever, the buzz saw shaped Left For Dead & Acrid split. Both bands are from Canada, but sound very different. Left For Dead rage through 9 tracks of pissed hardcore with some of the best lyrics ever and awesome double bass in parts, and Acrid tend to veer a little more towards the metal/grind side of hardcore with their 4 tracks. I like both bands, but it should be obvious that Left For Dead take this record.

The picture above is my copy of this split. i have no clue which pressing it is. anyone know?

Reality Part 2

2010-09-06T22:37:00.003-04:00

Here is one of the all around best hardcore compilation's that saw release during the 90's, the fantastic Reality Part 2. If you have no idea what this comp is about, lemme break down the bands to you....

Asshole Parade.Excruciating Terror. Dystopia. Infest. Despise You. Lack Of Interest. Gasp.Suppression. Noothgrush. No Comply. Spazz. Purgatoria. Man Is The Bastard. Capitalist Casualties. Stapled Shut. Enemy Soil. Evolved To Obliteration. Bad Acid Trip. C-###.

19 killer bands, 20 killer songs. I mean, really, this is one of the times where you can have both quality and quantity. Standout tracks, to me, are the Dystopia, Infest, L.O.I., Gasp, Spazz, Noothgrush, and Capitalist Casualties tracks. But listen and decide for yourself. Again, this compilation KILLS.

Reality Part 2

Judas Priest - "Sad Wings Of Destiny"

2010-09-06T14:43:00.003-04:00

I was going through my blog posts today and realized that I have never really made mention of my love for Judas Priest, who are my all time favorite metal band. Let me rectify this situation with the following post. Here is my favorite Priest album, "Sad Wings Of Destiny", from 1976. This album is their transitional album, I think, between the more bar rock-friendly "Rocka Rolla" and the excellently metal "Sin After Sin". And, this album has "Tyrant" AND "The Ripper" on it. So there.

Judas Priest - "Sad Wings Of Destiny"

Lack Of Interest - "Trapped Inside"

2010-09-06T09:24:00.005-04:00

Life sucks sometimes. You know it, I know it, Lack Of Interest knows it. Knowing this, they decided to write this album. It is 24 songs in under 15 minutes of pissed off, furious, high velocity punk rock with what sounds to be a pit-bull on vocals.

I've often heard the great argument...Infest vs. Lack Of Interest....you know who wins?

we do, because BOTH bands kill.

MY LIFE

Face Down In Shit - "S/T LP"

2010-09-05T00:50:00.004-04:00

Here is Face Down In Shit's self titled 2001 LP. I heard this when it was released and it blew me away with its mixture of fierce hardcore and abrasive stoner metal. In 2003 my old band Hadaka Matsuri played a show with them in Detroit, at a place called The Trumbleplex, where they let us use their drums and amps to play a short set. needless to say, we probably sounded brutal as shit through their amps. This lp is 8 tracks that will bludgeon you. Fire one up for this one, folks.

Face Down In Shit - "S/T LP"

Poison Idea - The Early Years

2010-09-04T12:49:00.004-04:00

By request of Adam Brewer, of Globsters fame, (and if you haven't checked that out yet, you're missing serious greatness) here is The Early Years cd from Poison Idea. I shouldn't have to say anything about Poison Idea, but this cd is a compilation of demo and live tracks from, well, P.I.'s early years. So it goes without saying, pretty essential. Nice faux "Anarchy In The U.K." intro too.

Poison Idea - "The Early Years"

Gasp - Drome Triler Of Puzzle Zoo People

2010-09-04T11:59:00.002-04:00

Hey everybody, I'm back, and it seems that thanks to Aesop over at Cosmic Hearse that i have some new followers. so thanks Aesop, and thanks to you, new followers. i hope you like the stuff i post.

anyways, here is some Gasp for you all. To me, Gasp never got the recognition they deserved. For the uninitiated, they play hardcore with more than a touch of psychedelia and chaos. I love this record. There is a discography floating around somewhere, GET IT!!

Gasp - Drome Triler Of Puzzle Zoo People

taking a sabbatical....

2010-08-23T12:56:00.003-04:00

No Fucker - "Maelstrom Of Decay" 7"

2010-08-07T09:34:00.004-04:00

Yes, I know I keep slacking and not posting. well, sometimes i just don't know what to put up here, what to say, etc. I'll try to do better, but I'm not gonna promise anything.

Anyways, here is a 7" thats been on pretty heavy rotation here at Casa de Scummified. It is a 5 song assault from my friend Jesse and his band No Fucker. They released this 7", the "Conquer The Innocent" 7", a split 7" with the mighty Disclose, a demo, and maybe something else? They also had a song covered by Wolf Eyes and had their name mentioned in Spin once (hah!).

I love this record. check it out, maybe you will too.

No Fucker - "Maelstrom Of Decay" 7"

Olho Seco - Olho Por Olho

2010-07-18T18:33:00.003-04:00

Here is Olho Seco's first "full length", the insane "Olho Por Olho". Olho Seco were a Brazilian punk band who ventured more into grind territory with this release. They released some 7 inches, appeared on the legendary "Welcome To 1984" comp that M.R.R. put out, and kick ass. that's about all i can tell you. this album is 14 songs in 12:41. ear blasting grind punk noise!

Olho Seco - "Olho Por Olho"

Gauze - "Kao O Aratte Denaoshite Koi"

2010-07-14T22:24:00.007-04:00

hey everybody.

I've been neglecting the blog again, haven't really had anything interesting to say. been doing the work thing and trying to record some punk rock on my own, because nobody in this fucking town wants to do it, been generally broke, it's been hot as fuck, blah blah blah.

anyways, here is some prime GAUZE for you all. if you don't know by now, you never will.

Gauze - "Kao O Aratte Denaoshite Koi"

Yog Sothoth - "Alien Tongues" Demo 2010

2010-06-30T21:14:00.003-04:00

Yog Sothoth is my black metal project. i posted the first demo from 2006 here last year. here is the new one. this one is just guitar, drums, and vocals, no overdubs, all "live", one take, direct to tape. it is 6 tracks of appalachian black metal inspired by Darkthrone, Ulver, Mutiilation, and of course, the stories of H.P. Lovecraft. I'm actually quite proud of how this tape turned out.

it is available from me, with packaging(tape cover above), on tape or cd-r. if you would like one, please contact me.

a big thank you to Adam Brewer, he of Globsters fame, for converting this tape into a digital format. i prefer the tape, but maybe thats just me.

Yog Sothoth - Alien Tongues Demo

they got me!!!

2010-06-23T16:19:00.002-04:00

i guess i'm a real blog now....had to take down the ulver - nattens madrigal post. oh well.

i'll put something equally vicious in its stead later.

B.G.K. - "Jonestown Aloha!"

2010-06-22T20:02:00.004-04:00

Here is B.G.K.'s first LP, the fantastic "Jonestown Aloha!". This lp is 20 tracks of great punk rock that straddles the line between catchiness and all out fury. In my opinion, it's one of the best punk albums ever.

I know this has probably been posted elsewhere, but i received this LP in the mail today from my friend Jesse, and to celebrate my happiness in receiving it, I'm sharing it with you.

Pray For Peace And Kill For Christ

Disclose - A Mass Of Raw Sound Assault 7''

2010-06-22T11:04:00.004-04:00

Disclose is, to me, the best of all the "dis" bands. furious and raging hardcore in the discharge/anti-cimex vein. this is, like the name says, an 8 track mass of raw sound assault. download it, listen to it, and rage. i don't feel like typing much today.

R.I.P. Kawakami.

Disclose - A Mass Of Raw Sound Assault

Poison Idea - "Kings Of Punk"

2010-06-19T21:40:00.005-04:00

All I have to say about this is that Poison Idea really were the kings of punk, and this album proves it. Sure, "Feel The Darkness" rules, "Pick Your King" and "Record Collectors..." rage, but man, this album smokes. "Lifestyles" is one of the best opening tracks of any album, ever.

R.I.P. Pig Champion.

Poison Idea - "Kings Of Punk"

Repulsion - "Horrified"

2010-06-17T19:18:00.003-04:00

I'm posting this classic just because it's one of my all time absolute favorite albums in any genre of music, an album i can put on and listen to repeatedly, and just for the off chance there's some poor, misguided soul who hasn't yet been beaten utterly senseless by the sheer ferocity of this album. the only Repulsion full length, "Horrified" offers 18 tracks in 29 minutes of pure grinding madness. If you have NEVER heard Repulsion before, imagine Discharge, Celtic Frost, and Slayer in a blender turned to the highest setting. Contains such classics as "Eaten Alive", "Slaughter Of The Innocent", "Maggots In Your Coffin", the absolutely soul and body destroying "Festering Boils" AND "Bodily Dismemberment"...really every song is a winner.

Faster and more intense than just about anything else you'll hear from any band these days. Modern one man/pro-tools/gravity blast/porno/gore grind bands don't get the fucking picture anymore. gore grind is and will always be Repulsion, Impetigo, and Carcass! None better.

Truly, a masterpiece of metal.

You are rotting, maggots in your coffin!

Axehandle Mountain - 2010 Demo

2010-06-16T21:22:00.003-04:00

Here is a brand new, not yet released demo from northeast TN's own Axehandle Mountain, featuring members of The Scams. They play pretty crushing crust/hardcore in the Tragedy/H.H.I.G./Scandinavian vein that you're bound to like. this band plays live around this area, so be sure to check them out live.

Axehandle Mountain - 2010 Demo
