Gauze - 6 Track EP

I feel like making up for lost time today, so here is another offering from the mighty Gauze, the Japanese hardcore institution. this was released on prank records in 97(?) and are newer recordings of songs from the first three albums. the songs sound heavy and massive, the vocals gruff, and it's Gauze, people! you need it.

Gauze - Six Track Prank 7"

Deep Red/Profondo Rosso

Here is Goblin's soundtrack to Dario Argento's 1975 giallo Profondo Rosso, aka Deep Red, aka Deep Red: The Hatchet Murders. I love this movie, and i LOVE their score. the first exposure to deep red i ever had was through an old vhs version that had 26 minutes cut out of the film...i enjoyed it, and thought the soundtrack was awesome, but this is a movie you should watch uncut if you haven't already seen it. if you have never listened to goblin in your life, this is the perfect beginning spot.

edit 3/13/11: received an email saying that mediafire deleted this file. c'mon goblin, why you gotta keep making us take your beautiful music out of people's hands?

Koro - 7''

Where would the Northeast Tennessee Punk Rock "scene" be without this, the best punk record to ever come out of TN, and arguably one of the greatest punk records to come from anywhere, ever. Just imagine, you, living in northeast tn in the early 80's and walking into a bar or somewhere in knoxville and seeing these 5 dudes destroying the place with their fast, tight, and absolutely awesome hardcore assault. jesus christ, what a band. this ep and the "speed kills" 12" are still available from Sorry State Records so i suggest using yr hard earned money to get them. until then, ladies and gentlemen, i give you without further ado, the 40th post on Scummified, a total legendary classic, and a natural inclusion to the Northeast Tennessee Punk And Metal Archives, the Koro "700 Club" 7" E.P.

Death Side - Wasted Dream

Here is the first lp from Death Side, legendary Japanese punks. this album is 18 tracks of pure hardcore fury. This album should be mandatory listening. if you like punk rock, and you've never heard this, you owe it to yourself to listen to it. members from this band went on to be in such luminaries as Paintbox, Forward, Judgement, and more. Guitarist Chelsea passed away in 2007, but this album (and a lot more that Death Side released) preserve their legacy for all times. Keep the Burning Spirit Burning!!
