sod sound of disaster 7 ep

well one of the blogs i love has taken a turn for the worse. he's made a dessision that i disagree with 100000000 percent. ah well. the show must go on. ripping swedish punk fuckin rock the way it should be! awesome gravelly voice, nice distorted guitars, and just amazing production. the songs can strech on a little but it's still pretty damn good. this is not s.o.d btw this is sod. get this if you like slightly unoriginal yet very good swedish punk. btw fuck bishop! he's triing to upstage me. don't let him do that! hahah

filthy christians mean cd

seeing as bishop just posted you might think i'm triing to do something like upstage him but in reality i've had this on my mind for some time and i figure we could keep the punks happy. anyway filthy christians were at first a swedish hardcore band that later went more and more death metal. still they had a sound unlike any other. well this was released on the great earache records so i figured i'd get this. also i loved per's other band protes bengt so i figured what the hell. well we have a bridge between punk and metal here. i'd say this is mostly punk with some metal leanings (unlike naled which was metal with punk leanings) overall pretty damn good stuff. it came out in the 90s so i thought oh god how good could this be? because the 90s sucked. anyway the first song is a really weird and pointless intro. seriously. what the hell is up with that intro? anyway it goes into a slow actual song with some melodic parts before blasting off at the end. the mix is pretty good i guess. i really like the guitar work on this. per's voice is just class as bishop would say. overall this cd is just great. the followup is amazing as well. will review that when i want. let's be honest here i review things when i want. anyway get this and thrash your damn head off!!

12. Rise Inside

As some sort of gay introductory thing, Elliot wanted me to review a punk record or something. I’m not as into punk as he is, and I’d just end up waffling about shite, so I’ll stick with what I know.

Killswitch were one of the earliest bands I was introduced to. I was about 15, I think Howard had just joined the band – The End Of Heartache hadn’t even been announced yet. I picked up Alive Or Just Breathing on a whim and was instantly sold.

One thing makes this album stand the test of time for me – it still feels refreshing to this day. Putting on Fixation On The Darkness or Life To Lifeless still feels as entertaining as it did when I first heard the album. There’s that sort of familiar uncertainty every time you listen, where you find yourself lost in the song.

The Element Of One was always my favourite as a kid, but I think I’d have to take Rise Inside away with me if I had to choose today. The slow rising tempo, catchy hooks and – well just how much goes on in that song! The musicianship in this album was unreal.

A lot of people claim after Jesse Leach’s departure the quality of the band went south. Regardless of your opinion, AoJB was one hell of a record to try and follow up either way – especially when it nestled it’s way into so many fans hearts.

As an aside, on Numbered Days it’s always sounded to me as if Jesse’s saying “Gay Dogs Will Rise.” Luckily for us, that doesn’t seem to have happened. Yet.

this is just a test blog

this is a test so i can get back to the old way. maybe we fixed it

attention! atention please! hey you in the back, stop talking! and you stop smoking crack! okay. i have a special anouncement...i said stop smoking crack!!! anyway i've been going at this with little or no help for two years. well that's changing. i'm very pleased to welcom Andrew Bishop to political trendy. he will mainly be doing background stuff but i told him he can post if he wants. it will probably mostly be my blog still as i have less of a life than he does. let's see how this works out. i hope the partnership between me and Bishop will last a long time and bring in more people. okay you can get back to the crack now

end for the blogging world?

agz has just been attacked by mediafire. all his files gone. even the stuff he created. what's next? i feel guilty. it's because of america that it happened. the country that i live in. i wonder what's next? if this keeps up this really willl be the end of blog. i know i've cryed wulf many times but this time it might actually be the final nale in the coffin. i can't say much right now as i feel so horible. these are very dark times we live in.

annihilist incriminated demo

not really sure if this is a demo or an ep. this is my friend bishop's old thrash band. pretty cool thrash in the style of slayer, kreator and the like. the only thing i must say is the vocals. they're just.....aweful. sorry bishop. he would later get better on the followup release. the mix is pretty raw and that's the way it should be. i don't know if anyone else noticed this but this band isn't really a fast thrash band. oh yes they have some really good fast parts. but they seem to be happyest at a midpased sound which is fine with me. i really like the guitar work on this. it's just too bad they broke up after the followup cause i'd love to hear an annihilist ep. best track is incriminated though they're all great and i'm not just saying that. they really all kill. i don't usually like the new thrash bands that much but man do these guys pull it off. will review the followup soon. get this at the band's last.fm page. it's awesome and well worth it. actualy it's a shame that it's for free. this band is so good they could make money off this stuff. btw i heard another annihilist a while ago. they were alright thrash but this is better i think. anyway check this shit out!

protes bengt bengt e sankt demo tape

more fuckshitupism from sweden. this band changed from the ep. now they were like heresy and dri one note hc. still this is really really really good! per's voice is still hard as shit. really good rifs here. quite short only 12 songs. i don't know how much i can say on this how much can you say about a demo like this?? the guitar tone is amazingly raw. one thing is it seems they double tracked the guitars or maybe that's just me. still this blows most demos from 1986 out of the watter. i can't actually remember one track. the problem as with most of these type of hc bands is they kind of blend into one long track. still this is worth well i guess downloading as i can't find it to buy and i don't think the demo or the ep will ever be reissued. bastards. btw you may notice some changes with the blog. i'm playing around with some blogger things so it may look a little weird for a while. hope you like the fact that now every time i post you get an email. hahaha i just want to be anoying! seriously that's all i want to do. anyway i'm probably gonna start posting youtube vids too so look forward to that

rip misery addict

so from what i've read misery addict are broken up. it sucks cause they put out some damn good records and i was really looking forward to hearing how the ma sound had evolved. plus they contacted my blog which makes them the best new band in the world. they existed for two years. during that time they put out an ep, a tape, a split with beasts (the reason they contacted me), and a compilation ep. not bad at all. all while getting heavyer and heavyer. what i'll miss most about ma is the humor. very few punk bands can be serious lyricly yet have humorous writings. ma pulled them off thanks to the demented front man andrew bishop. goodby misery addict. the punk scene won't be quite as well quite as not as shitty as it is without you

note on reviewing new records

from now on unless it's a big release or i really love the record i will only review new records if they're sent to me. otherwise i will wait a year to review any new records i get from small labels. my blog is just as important as any magazine people send records too and i ame to prove that. that is all. sorry if this sounds dickheadish but after two years it's time i set a standard.

anal cunt the olld testament 1988-91 double cd

at first i didn't know what this was. i thought it was just the early years cd. well it sort of is. pretty much contains the same tracks with a few exceptions. well i lost my coppy 3 years ago so of course when i was out at amoeba today i baught it right up. the first track is the band's never before heard first demo. it's the rawest of all the recordings as it was recorded in singer seth putnam's mother's addic (wonder what the mom thought) anyway as anyone who knows early axcx will know this is pure noise. noise for noises sake if you will. anyway this album is best played wile drunk. seriously i have a huge fuckin headache right now. 2 disks dude. all the stuff that was on the early years cd is on this with the exception of the outakes from another ep. ah well. this comp also has a few weird songs at the end of the second disk. as well as some comp tracks not on the early years. the best tracks are the early demo, the 47 song demo, the 88 song ep both sides, and the 5643 song ep both sides. seriously this is only for those who love noise and i mean really really love noise. this is almost too much for me. still if you like hc give some of these a listen.

the band with no name 1979 demo

or as they would like to be called now amebix. this is straight up punk. the recording is just awefull. then again maybe it's cause it was recorded in 79. this reminds me of the clash a lot. i have no idea what the vocals are saying and to be honest this does drag on. still this is a pretty solid tape. oh and happy new year! also i'm going to go see anvil in february so i'll review that show. stay cool and i promous i'll try to think about doing more posts this year. what that means is i'll never do a post for the rest of the year. oh btw just a little sidenote about amebix. one of these songs got on the bullshit detecter comp i can't remember which one cause i'm dumb. it's funny how many obscure bands got on those comps and then bands like napalm death and amebix were on before they were huge
