social conflict s/t ep cd

if you couldn't tell on the last post i did my main thought was what the fuck is this? well i kind of have this thought with this one but i know what it is. somewhat interesting new punk. you know how i feel about new punk so this longtime readers (me) should know what to expect from this one. interesting if a bit dul garage punk. i went into this thinking it was a hardcore band. they hail from southern california and i discovered them through a friend. well....i like the organ on track 2. that's about it. midtempo garage punk that is kind of fun to listen too but nothing special. clear mix sounds professionally done. get this if you like whatever i just described. honestly i'm not into this one at all. ah well. sorry if anyone from the band reads this. honesty hurts i guess. coming up some good music! oh and what an unoriginal name. but i've said all i want too say here

br00talizer i decapatated your hamster cd

this is a pure joke band. this is wannabe grindcore played with what appears to be a battery-operated amp, a drum machine, and a shit ass recorder. the lyrucs are dumb as fuck. the sex jokes are really really lame. the mickey mouse jokes i just don't find all that funny. from what i hear the band is from china. at least it's not pretending to be more than a joke. the last track is a napalm death cover. i really don't know what else to say about this thing. you should listen to it once and just once. after that you may not ever want too

anvil live review

well last night i saw the legendary anvil for the first time. i have all 14 albums, the movie, and even the book. i know all the history. well i thought this was gonna be just the mentors and anvil. that's what it said. when i got to the whisky though i learned i had to sit through 6 bands before anvil who went on at 11. the first band was some metalcore band who's name i never learned. they were pretty good but the lyrics were amazingly whiny. sorry i just don't like emo people. the next band was called kick and chicken. i didn't get the joke. to me they just sounded like another groove metal band. i just didn't understand what was so good about them. the next band was wise guy theory. they sucked so much cock it's not even funny. worse than airborn. hard rock wanker band. the crowd didn't even like them either. here's one song. i don't give a fuck cause you don't give a fuck! repeted 1000 times over and over again. they alternated between hard rock and really bad metal. the singer sucked too. next band was social overload. they kicked so much ass. thrash from san fernando valley bitches! if any member or friend of a member of social overload is reading this i need a coppy of your demo to review it. the next band i don't even remember the name of it but it was a cross between roots era sepultura, pantera, and cannibal corpse. fun for about 2 songs then boring as shit. next was a death metal band from pamona called deceive. i actually thought they were pretty cool death thrash metal. they had a really cool singer. would love to get that ep too. i was kind of waiting for anvil at that point but i payed attention and really enjoyed deceived. then anvil came up. they didn't have the bombs with tea leaves i heard about and lips didn't use a dildo to play guitar. but they rocked so damn hard it was scary. they have a new bassest named sal. i don't know personally i liked glen a lot. this guy will take some getting used too. they played some of my favorite songs though nothing from 86-05 which sucks cause they released some killer records from that period. lips has lost whatever voice he had. he can still play guitar like a motherfucker. rob did a really really really long drum solo that was simply amazing to hear. the only thing is sometimes the songs would drag on because they'd play so many solos and it's like okay next please! i didn't stick around for the mentors because without el duce it's not the same. overall a pretty good night. and i finally got to see one of my favorite metal bands ever. i'll be reviewing some anvil later on. and hopefully i'll review social overload's demo if i ever get it. please! deceive too!

sepultura morbid visions lp

well hello! remember me? i'm the only blind punk blogger along with being the only real admin of this blog. that's right i said it. anyway i'm getting fuck all in the way of new records from people. what the fuck? give me your new records! on a serious note the guys over at godz ov war did it again for me and soon i'll have another great release from poland to review. but first it's off to south america for some brazillian fuckin metal. and what do we have? thrash borderring on death metal. i never knew about this band until this summer i stumbled into this album. it starts with a cool little classical musical thing (which needs to go back on the reissue) and then all hell breaks loose for 8 tracks of pure headfucking insannity. i mean people write this off because the guitars are slightly out of toon (personally i can't hear it) or because of the mix or it's sloppy. but this to me represents the heavyest and best thing sep ever did. i love all sep up too and including roots. after max cavalera aka god left the band and green took over eh it's never done much for me. btw the other guitarest in this band would quit after this album and go on to found sarcofago of which i've been meaning to check out for a long ass time. when he went away the black metal went away. max's vocals are a topic worth bringing up. listening to his later stuff (which i like all of) and then listening to this album i thought it was two different guys. this time max is possessed by satan. you can hear it in his demonic voice. the lyrics are straightup satanism. a little basic but who cares? this album gets shit from sep fans but you need this if you love death thrash or early black metal. buy or die! or download the original. i couldn't care less. just get it! get it now!

venomous concept retroactive abortion cd

everyone's in love! where's elliott's love? i'm lovable you know! ah fuck it who needs love when you have music? this is well i don't know. two members of napalm death shane and danny started this band along with kevin sharp of brutal truth and buz of the melvins. i have to say when i first heard about this band i thought it would be a straightup hc band. nope. first of all it took me 20 minutes to get past the name. venomous concept. poison idea. get it? i want to slap whoever came up with that one. anyway what we have is basicly crust played very well. you can hear a lot of metal so i was originally disapointed. but overall it's a pretty good fast crust record. kevin still has no voice though. i liked him on the first brutal truth album but he really has no high voice. go back to death growls kevin. please. the drums are great. i've always like danny as a drummer in nd (mic was the best but let's not go into that) so it's no surprise that he puts in a solid performance on this album. the bass and guitar pound away. in a way i'm not surprised these guys are hc fans. okay i knew it all along. grindcore and sludge metal both came from punk and the melvins were a hc band at first i think. overall if you like fast as hell metallic hardcore (not the subgenre) get this record. will review the next album poisoned apple later. that one has danny lilker on it! yay! let's see how it is. elliott out
