Even though this blog completely caved in on itself this year, I thought that the least I could do was provide you with some music that I really, really dug this year. There was a shit-load of amazing releases, but for whatever reason, these 20 bands are the ones I found myself listening to the most. I put together a compilation of 1 track from each band, in alphabetical order, so nobody gets pissed off at me. Download from Bandcamp or alternatively, from Zippyshare. Links to the individual releases can be found below the player, so if you hear something you like, click those links and buy their shit. Enjoy or die.
NEGLECTED - I
FFO: D.O.C., Iron Lung, SFN
BANDCAMP
NEGLECTED are a Noisy, heavy and devotional Powerviolence band from Istanbul, Turkey. Their album concists of two tracks simply entitled "I" and "II". Each Track contains 5 short, smashing songs. Their Sets are played without brakes or talking, just straight forward and direct. The Lyrics are an extremely negative view of a fucked up world, a fucked up mind and generally about fucked up things. Really worth a listen if you want music that crushes you in an angry, violent way.
AL-KAFIR - Prozac
 |
| GENRE: Powerviolence, Noisegrind, Sludge FFO: Water Torture, Weak-Dying, Hailnothing D/L: Zippyshare or Bandcamp BANDCAMP BIGCARTEL |
Al-Kafir, from Richmond, VA, play destructive Bass & Drum Violence. The name of the band comes from the Arab word "Kafir" wich means "non believer" or "Godless". Worth a listen if you like pissed off and fucked up noisy music.
PRAY FOR TEETH - From The Dry Edge Of The Shore
 |
| GENRE: Post Rock, Post HC, Sludge FFO: Cult of Luna, Light Bearer, Alaskan D/L: Zippyshare or Bandcamp BANDCAMP MERCH |
PRAY FOR TEETH are a Doomish post HC band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
With the intensity of their music, they can be compared with genre masters Cult of Luna, Alaskan and late Fall of Efrafa. Beautiful Post Rock.. Heavy Sludge/HC parts... Desperate shouting vocals.
In my Opinion one of the best bands of this genre. The genre mentioned on their own Bandcamp page just says: Punk. And in the spirit of Punk they put out all their records in a "Name your Price" policy.
So take a look at this highly recommendable band!
DECLIVE - Discography
 |
| GENRE: Raw Punk, Hardcorepunk FFO: The Flex, Poison Idea, Creem, Hoax BANDCAMP D/L.:Declive - Discography |
DECLIVE are a four piece chilean band, they played a most 80's raw punk styles in a some punks bands like Creem or The Flex way's, the spirit of punk is alive in these guys.
The sound of the band is the same garage punk bands with a violent vocalization and dynamic riffs, energetic guitars and haunting rhythmic base, bass and drums quite cohesive. They have personal lyricals, apathetics and nihilistics,
DECLIVE represents a fresh air in the local scene. Essential.
DISFYXIA - El Reino Del Terror
 |
| GENRE: Crustpunk, D-Beat, Hardcorepunk FFO: Nausea, Extreme Noise Terror, Discharge, Anti-Cimex BANDCAMP D/L: http://www45.zippyshare.com/v/67963385/file.html |
Well this are a chilean band with female fronted, they sounds are amazing, some blastbeat and more raw d-beat style's. DISFYXIA have only one a Demo called "El Reino del Terror" (Kingdom of Terror) and they talks about we don't exist on this capitalist society.
I think this band has revitalized the local scene crustpunk (Chilean), even considering that the vocalization is really well made and the intensity of his compositions are brutal...
Amazing staff band
KNIVAD - New Songs (2014)
 |
| GENRE: Crust Punk, Metallic Hardcore FFO: Centuries, Trap Them, Deathrite D/L: Zippyshare or Bandcamp BANDCAMP |
Check out some absolutely killer new songs by Knivad from Sweden. According to the band, Knivad is Swedish for something like "stabbed in the throat by a fucking knife!". That makes sense because these songs sound like they could be the soundtrack to a knife fight in some filthy European back alley. They are fast and pissed off with a raw production that just sounds perfect. Everything else on their Bandcamp page is free as well. Download this and start a pit.
A TUMBA ABIERTA - Adelato (2014)
 |
| GENRE: Crust, Punk, Hardcore FFO: D/L: Zippyshare or name your price on Bandcamp |
I don't know anything about this band other than they are a 5-piece from Cantabria, Spain. This is a great EP though, it's only 2 songs but it's nearly 15 minutes. It's definitely worth a listen and follow.
