EL HAMBRE - Self Titled

EL HAMBRE    ☼    FACEBOOK  ▼  BANDCAMP

El Hambre (The Hunger in english) is a grind n' roll band (yeah I may have just made that up) from Valencia, Spain. Once again, I don't really know much about this band, not much info on Facebook. But I can tell you that these 5 songs they put on Bandcamp are fucking great! Amazing production, tons of blast beats but also tons of riffs. They REALLY remind of the UK band Throats, and that my friends is a good thing. Definitely grab this!

BLUNTSHIT - Demo

BLUNTSHIT    ☼    FACEBOOOK  ▼  BANDCAMP

This band is obsessed with shit. But you know what they say about Germans. But seriously though, Bluntshit has a pretty damn good demo on their hands. It combines most of the things you should expect from bands on this blog: punk, crust & hardcore, all with that killer German crust production that so many bands from there have. They are from Berlin, but I don't know much else about them, the Facebook translation to English didn't help much. But who cares, listen and enjoy.

MISERABLE FAILURE - Hope

MISERABLE FAILURE    ☼    BANDCAMP

Miserable Failure brings the metallic, punk/crust you crave. Hailing from Lille, France, the band was born out of a common interest in grindcore & punk between friends, one of which happens to run the label (Kaotoxin) that this digital EP is released through. For fans of Dead In The Dirt etc... Here's a description from the label:

"The brand new MISERABLE FAILURE EP, for FREE, (yes, free, like 0.00 €). After the 2013 "Miserable Fucking Society" split CD with Infected Society and F Stands For Fuck You, four brand new tracks of Grindcore failure by a miserable band from France's stinkhole. Life sucks, and then you die (but meanwhile, there's Miserable Failure!)."

MOLD - Demo

MOLD    ☼    FACEBOOK  ▲  BANDCAMP

Mold is a newer grinding powerviolence trio from Atlanta, GA. Featuring members from the equally brutal, but now defunct Native Graves, Mold is here to smother you with 6 songs of churning, blistering hardcore. For comparisons, think of bands like XFilesX, Extortion & Slave. This 6-song demo will be put on cassette and will be available at their 1/20/2014 show, if you are in the area. I've got a good feeling about this band.

SANGUS LEGIONARIS - Vengeful Brutality + Demos

SANGUS    ☼    FACEBOOK  ▲  BANDCAMP  ▼  YOUTUBE

Sangus Legio is a 5-piece, misanthropic black/thrash/crust band from Providence, RI featuring members of Paindriver, Haxen, Sin of Angels, Nachzehrer & I, Destroyer. Their influences include Sarcofago, Impaled Nazarene, Nifelheim, Driller Killer, Gauze & Kuro. In May of 2013 they put out a demo cassette limited to 200 copies titled 'Vengeful Brutality'. This is pretty much a perfect name for this release. It's just mean and punishing as hell and very well executed. They also recently put up some rehearsal demos on their Bandcamp page, and while they aren't as polished (obviously), it's definitely in the same vein.

SIBERIAN HELL SOUNDS - The PCP EP

SHS    ☼    FACEBOOK  ▲  BANDCAMP  ▼  MERCH

Australia's Siberian Hell Sounds had one of my favorite releases of 2013. Their self-titled EP from September blew me away, and I've been waiting on the edge of my seat ever since I heard they would have another EP coming just a few months later. That day has arrived and you can now grab The PCP EP below or at their Bandcamp page. It's a bit doom-ier than the last release as it was mainly influenced by bands like Mammoth Grinder and Seven Sisters of Sleep, but the production is amazing and the new songs are still ferocious, interesting and full of riffs. Get it NOW.

LOWLIFE - Demo

LOWLIFE    ☼    BANDCAMP

LOWLIFE was a ¾-Female hardcore/crust/d-beat band from St. Johns, Newfoundland & Labrador. Unfortunately, they are no longer together, but have at least decided to unleash their whirlwind of a demo on the public. This demo is rough at times and only 4 songs, but it's 6½ minutes of filthy, furious hardcore with snarling vocals that seem to be living just under your speaker cone, dying to claw their way out. This was supposed to be released as a cassette split with another Newfoundland band called Coke Drip, but that fell though.

This really reminds me of the recent Exhaustion demo and also of Ira Graves.

DEADPRESSURE - O.G.Demo + Dead Side Story Vol I

DEADPRESSURE    ☼    FACEBOOK  ▲  BANDCAMP

DEADPRESSURE is a trio of homies from San Jose, CA that formed in Feb. 2012. They play a mind-crushing brand of brutal powerviolence that smothers you from the start and never lets up. For fans of Heartless, Dead In The Dirt, Hatred Surge & Full Of Hell.

From the label:

"Utterly crushing hardcore/powerviolence/grind from San Jose. For those not familiar with the work of DEADPRESSURE, you're fucking up. They've been holding the bay area down for the past year with an iron fisted supremacy that few bands can even touch. If you like fast hardcore and carry a fucking knife, If you just like fast ugly hardcore, or even if you just like to fucking carry a knife, this is for you. Thick and dirty bass, fucking buzzsaw guitars, from the blast beats to the tom work, it's all on fucking lock. Heinously to the point and heavy as fuck. "DEAD SIDE STORY VOL. I" is the debut vinyl release from these south bay beasts. With a sense of originality commonly unseen in contemporary acts bitching about the powerviolence. Consistently bringing the heat, No slack in their mack, ya'll should just get down, or lay down. Real shit for real folks."

SRMNS - Demo I

SRMNS    ☼    BANDCAMP

Here's a raw-as-fuck demo from SRMNS. For fans of Obliterations, Angry Samoans & Circle Jerks

From the label:

"Hardcore punk, to the fucking point, teetering on an early PowerViolence sound at times. This is North Bay's SRMNS first demo, and it's a fucking stomper. Stripped down to the fucking basics, just hardcore punk played right, fast, and jammed down your god damn face. If you want to know more, buy a fucking tape."
