void potion for bad dreams unreleased lp

hello! do you remember me? i'm elliott and i write shit reviews that only i read! it seems like it's been a long time between reviews. in my deffence i went to the moto gp races. stoner won. anyway that's mostly why i haven't been reviewing stuff. anyway this is an unreleased lp by void. yes that void. the amazing hardcore void. i know what that sounds like. you're probably drewling with your pants down. well put your pants back on. i must warn you if you are a hardcore fan you might not want to read this. if you're open minded (like me) then read on brother! anyway void went down the path so many hardcore bands took in the mid-80s. metal. now this could go two ways. it could go really good or really bad. now unlike most unwashed hc fans i love metal. and i usually love when punk bands go metal (even dri i just love to piss off new dri fans by saying i hate the metal stuff) some of it (gang green ssd) takes a while to grow on me but it usually does. and what is this? this is some fuckin good metal. more in the classic metal vane (compared to dri) and i quite like it. the vocals are more growled now and it just works. it's sort of fast though not as fast as the demo and split. now for why it's unreleased. it was gonna be put out on touch and go in 84 but i guess that didn't work out. t&g still try to release it but the guitarest keeps blocking it. shouldn't be that hard to track down as i got it yesterday. surprisingly good sound too. get this if you're a metalhead. if you love the demo and split (which will be reviewed soon) and hate the thought of them sounding different than go home and cry. do it! btw elliott sucks will soon also be a podcast! as soon as i set up the email you'll be able to download the elliott sucks radio show. i don't know if it'll be posted on this blog (as i have no idea how to make links) but i'll direct you to where you can download it. it'll probably just be an audio version of this blog where i review records (probably stuff that's on the blog already though in more detale) and rant. enjoy when i post it!

a more metallic direction

well my punk collection has slowed a lot so i'll probably be reviewing more metal records. my metallic collection has just grown. so yeah unless some angel of the punk world comes down with an amazing 80s record (please) it's gonna be all metal.

pandamonium promo 2010 cd

well this should have gone on a lot sooner than it did. but i've had shit going on so it's late but better late than never. you see the great thing about blogging is that you get promos from bands asking you to review something and you get turned on (or sometimes off) to new music. in my case when godz ov war productions contacted me about reviewing a band called pandamonium i didn't know what to say except sure! i love hearing new bands. actually these guys have been going on for a while but still they were new to me. okay i said so what do we have here? i opened the package up (came all the way from poland which is cool) pretty great black death metal came out of the speakers. i was empressed from the start. great riffs, and a very nice sound. only 2 songs cause it's a promo for an album that will be dropping this fall. and man what an album that will be. especially with these two tracks on it. i like everything about the band. the vocals are great death growls that fit the album perfectly. you can tell these guys know what they're doing. can't say enough about this. get the album when iy comes out. it's a musthave for this year. suport em! and bands/labels if you want me to review anything get in touch with me at ellindamood@gmail.com. it doesn't usually take me as long as it did (i'm not even gonna say how long it took) so please send em over and please comment. that's what fuels this blog. coming up more old shit and some new. got some more known new releases as well as some um not so known. and soon i hope pandamonium will be a more known band

anal cunt 40 more reasons to hate us lp

this is more seth putnam love. streight up fucking grindcore. 42 tracks (that's right) of a mix of insults and sillyness. now you know how much i love seth and anal cunt and i will deffend him so no comments about him being racist. see? even the so-called non pc people get offended by this guy. that's why i like him so much. anyway most of the songs on here are short (except the cover of gloves of metal which is over 4 minutes long) abd too the fucking point. this is why i love grindcore. short fast and to the fucking point. anyway if you're offended by seth then leave a comment so i can make fun of you. oh and this has one of the greatest titles in music. everyone in the underground music scene is stupid. so true. anyway get this and love it! and fuck the pussys who can't take it

cryptic slaughter life in grave demo tape

i actually thought i'd posted this earlyer. now i always wondered why the band was called cryptic slaughter. i mean with albums called convicted and money talks why would they have a name like that? well now i know. no political lyrics or any of that shit. i mean the first song is called flesh of the wench. fuck yeah! anyway the music is amazingly fast crossover thrash. the kind municipal waste try to do but fail. i wonder is this more punk or more metal? i mean it's amazing. a perfect blend of punk and metal. the first album is just as amazing and i shal review it soon. get this now! oh this was reissued on the convicted reissu. but the sound on those rips are really bad. get this on a blog somewhere. and thrash til death!

bad influence war's no fun demo tape

ah yes. here's another little treat for you. it's a band out of san fransisco called bad influence. this is the only thing they put out in 1983 and i'm surprised about that. very good um i'm not sure if it's thrash but it's damn good hardcore with good lyrics. the intire demo was released on a 7 so get that cause it's amazing! and what a sound. sometimes demos are recorded at practices and they sound aweful. however i think the sound on here (which sounds kinda like the dorf demo) fits the music. it's raw and gritty and that's how it should be! get this however you can. and tell me what you think. that's why i don't go into everything and totally give everything away. i want you to make your own descisions about the music. so yeah do that!

unseen force in search of the truth lp

yes 3 posts in one day. this is unseen force's only lp released in 1986. and what a fantastic record is is. not thrash but mid-tempo hardcore of the finest kind. 12 greaqt songs. this was in that package i got from grave mistake records a fuck of a long time ago. yeah sorry about the long wait i've been busy. anyway this was reissued with demo tracks from a band a few of the guys were in called 2000 maniacs which i'll review later and a live over the radio set. very nice package get it! this may be a bit late in hardcore for some people but it's still very good and if you're gonna let the year stop you from enjoying this then you're a sad excuse for a human. get this and slam!

municipal waste waste em all lp

i have a big problem with this band. i like the music and listen to it but something stops me from loving this. i cant think of it oh yeah i know what it is. it's complete fucking unoriginal crossover thrash. i mean really unoriginal. now i enjoy cryptic slaughter and s.o.d but i'd never want to start a band that sounds just like them. well municipal waste don't share my view it seems. these guys are stuck in the 80s i think with all the other thrash revival bands. it's kind of sickening to tell you the truth. however if you want to mindlessly headbang (as i do sometimes) this is a musthave. very fast music with a great production. they would never really change up the sound on future albums (though the new one isn't quite as fast) but if you like mindless thrash get the 4 albums. oh and i can think of two things mw stole in the naming of the band and the album. first of all the name is a ripoff of chemical waste who i'll review in a future post. also waste em all is well yeah i don't have to tell you. it's still pretty fun music but just not very original. still get it if you like crossover. and fly on top of the world!

brats 1980 lp

well here's a little treat for ya. i first heard this band on a good bad blog (yeah sorry i'm not as cool as you guys) and thought i'd check it out. i learned that the guitarests later formed mercyful fate. at the time that was just a name to me (though it later became a near religious experience) but i figured i'd give it a shot. and what a record! punk metal at its best. a lot of the tracks are hard rock/heavy metal and just rock. but a few tracks are pretty damn punk. i later learned that they used to be a punk band and put out two singles (if anyone has them please give share!) and had some tracks on a comp of danish punk which are very simple yet very good. i love this album! the drums pound, you can hear the bass and it works well, the guitars just sound great and the vocals go great with this album. this was reissued so go fucking get it! and if anyone has more of this stuff please share. don't hold out on me!

i miss the old days. the days when hpr was the blog i most followed. the days when zach and i would talk about obscure pun and i felt good. the days when it took me forever to load a page. i discovered so many great bands in the last 3 years. it's sad that now hpr is pretty much dead and zach is i guess having a good time without the computer. if only i was that lucky. i'm still carying on though or trying too. maybe i need to stop living in the past. it's just that it was so fun for me. now i don't know. some good things are happening but i still miss the old days. review coming up i guess.

venom black metal lp

are you ready? but are you fucking ready? to get your ass kicked! this album will do just that. pure and raw fucking metal from a time when metal mattered. classic nwobhm that sounds nothing like any other nwobhm band. it's faster, heavyer, and the vocals are so much different from any other band of that period. the vocals are angry snarles that really leave you stunned. man that guy is pissed! and the lyrics. streight to the point satanism. ah if only they believed it then things would be really interesting. they were one of the bands on the pmrc's shitlist in the mid-80s and you can see why. evil venom singing songs about satan! we must protect our kids from the awesomeness! this is the band's 2nd album and probably the greatest one they did. i think it's one of the greatest albums of all time even if the name and lyrics did inspire a pretty stupid subgenre of heavy metal. get this how ever you can and neal before it's mighty power! hail satan!

discharge 1977 demo

you know what's sad? i thought this summer i wouldn't want to post at all. well here i am even though i'm getting fuck all in the way of comments and i'm not too happy about it. come on! i know none of you have lives. oh well this has turned into something only i read. fuck it's depressing. especially when i think of how much work i put into this. i mean i spend hours going ovre recirds and shit. oh well. i'm really not sure if this is the discharge everyone knows. doesn't matter though if it is it's fucking funny. i mean this sounds like 15 year olds who heard the sex pistols and thought oh we can do that! well i don't know if they did or not. it's a lot simpler than the sex pistols (yes i said it) and the singer sounds like rottin. overall though pretty good stuff. if this is the discharge everyone knows than you should have never got cal. fucking d-beat. anyway get this and see why they love dead babys! and please fucking comment if you don't well i don't understand it. i mean i can understand if i had music and you were a cunt like that but i don't even have mp3s! i'm actually starting to think nobody reads this. makes me sad
