B.D.M.-Demo 2012

One man raw blackened crust, dark ambient band from Moscow, Russia and this is his first demo. I m not much into this genre so i can't say much about it: Here you got five tracks, named I, II, III etc bringing raw and noisy black metal with some emotional ambient-ish breaks popping up here and there, track IIII (should be numbered IV, right?) is a relaxing acoustic sonic journey, lyrical themes deal about misanthropy and depression, the name of band stands for Besvikelsens Dystra Monotoni, there is a Ambient black metal project from Russia, (clck here  but is probably another band.

Skelptarsis-Drill n kill

 Here is a great band that was a love from first listening for me: Skelptarsis come from New York, US, they started as Death Mold and include people from Phobia and Mutilation Rites and as they say about their name it means "A Bastardization of a common Scottish colloquialism".
Drill n Kill brings seven tracks and a great blending of hardcore and metal that deliver the goods: Sharp guitars, nice leading parts, metal edged riffs, many beat changes from fast outbreaks to slower breaks and even post hardcore emotional passages, angry female vocals and a lyrical Armageddon bringing socio/political messages.Imagine the variety and epic feeling of Wretched of the Earth, add some post hardcore in Nausea's crust, then some anarchopunk from Contravene, the powerful female vocals of Svart Aggression and you got Skelptarsis. This is fuckin great. You can stream Drill n Kill in bandcamp and here you will find links for their Reverbnation ,facebook and other sites. This is released by Akracia Records, Detesta Records and Vex Records. The  eponymous track (watch this great video) appears in A Soundtrack for the Apocalypse Vol 2 (Social Conspiracy Rec.s)

Sepsis-st demo tape 2012

Sepsis (former "Den Yderste Dag") is a five piece crust act from Copenhagen, Denmark and this is their demo, recorded in spring of 2012 and released on tape format. We first met these guys in the Crutches demo post where they appear on the b side of  that tape. The first release of demo tape was in the limited number of 50 copies and more will be available soon, music wise it brings six songs and nearly eighteen minutes of heavy stenchcore crust with mid-paced/fast heavy pounding drum beats, metal influenced guitar riffs,  and the usual deep low and rough vocals and lyrics about "politics, bringing up matters as war, state surveilance, fighting against oppression and surviving in what sometimes seems like a dying world". This is good and heavy as hell, sometimes emotional and metallic and sometime some D-beat pops up, i  'd say that they sound like Deviated Instinct or Cancer Spreading (from the era of splits w  Diskontroll and Cruel Storm) or a crust version of Bolt Thrower.
Check their blog for more details, lyrics, photos etc, the demo is available for free in bandcamp  and Soundcloud for your listening pleasure. (A., a lot of thanx)

Five songs recorded sometime in 2012 and last about five minutes. The sound is raw and filthy and the whole things smells old spirit and reminds recordings coming from the '80's. enjoy it.

A Fight with Sledgehammers-Dogmatic Deception 7"

I had a mail from Chux, member of the band and he forgot to add any link  but at least the name of band was there so i found out what is this about and it was really worth to check it: A Fight with Sledgehammers (AFS) come from Altoona, Pennsylvania, they formed in 2009 and were named after an Italian horror movie from 1902.  Dogmatic Deception is their seven inch ep released by Suburban White Trash Records and Leaf Lust Records, their discography includes also the eight track Another Cog to Turn the Wheel CDr demo, a detailed biography of band can be found in their site or in  Mohawk Radio.
Dogmatic Deception comes in the standard black and white vinyl, 676 copies were made and 227 came in white color. Music wise delivers six tracks of crusty anarchopunk with thick and heavy dual guitar attack that bring some leading guitar melody lines from time to time, dual rough shouted vocals and heavy pounding rhythm section.The sound quality is excellent, the last song seems to come from different recording session since it sounds  little different (or it is just the quality of mp3?), Lyric wise, hmm my ears can't catch the lyrics but a quick search in the web reviews proves that there are strong political messages in there and this is always welcomed. Not any bad shit to complain about.
This is available in bandcamp to stream and download it. Give it a listening and if you like it support the band and purchase a copy ( this is still available) or tell them what you think in their fb.

There.

Thrashing guitar riffs, bashing drums, dual vocal attack, wrath and furry: This is Revengeance from Lisboa and Viana do Castelo, Portugal and John Q. Citizen is their demo tape, their discography includes also a split tape with Porto grinders Tinnitus on Degradagem Records. John Q. Citizen delivers eleven songs and nearly thirteen minutes of powerviolenc-esque fastcore with frantic fast drumming, thrashing guitar attack, rough male and shouted punky female attack revealing their thoughts and anger against society and crappy shit of life (well, i guess Amore Pero lyrics will hit the political correctness...). All songs are fast and sometimes faster, only a few slower parts until the next outbreak. Black Flag, Dropdead, Spazz, Negative Approach are among their influence but also Napalm Death and Extreme Noise Terror and many other bands.

A New Dawn-Demo 2012

A New Dawn is a five piece crust act from Southern California and here is their five track recently released and much promising demo. The band is new, they formed in 2012 and this is their first recorded stuff, it starts with an instrumental intro which brings some nice melodic leading guitar parts along with the repeating catchy main riff, the following tracks are heavy and powerful fast  D-beat crust blending Doom, Hiatus and Anti Cimex with some Swedish hardcore hints in the leading guitar that pop up from time to time. All songs are fast with the exception of of the opening track which is mid-paced/less fast and prepares the ground for the upcoming storm and  the slow heavy beginning of Parasite. Rhythm section is heavy pounding, vocals are rough and shouted. Great work that lasts over fifteen minutes and nothing to complain about, i listened this and i felt the same surprise i had with the great work of  Hellcrawer or  Devastated . Well done guys, very promising demo, Thumps Up!. This is offered for free in bandcamp and they also have a facebook page, click a like and make them happy. I wish they  continue and soon to listen more recorded stuff by them.

Displode-The face of war ep (2012)

Displode hail from France and is "...only an one man tribute band to keep alive the tradition of the Disnoise, essentially influenced by:Disclose, Discharge, Discard, Disprove, Disarm, Shitlickers, Disaster, Agoni". These words by  the band describe perfectly The Face Of War tracks which are the Displode side for the split ep with Dispose from Sweden: Raw and noisy D-beat with fuzzy and distorted guitar and bass, angry and rough vocals and the usual lyrical topics paying homage to Disclose and the aforementioned bands. Songs are fast and short, the sound is raw and and filthy, lyrics and surprisingly guitar tabs(!) are printed inside, the ep is a co-release of SMYT Records, Reset Not Equal Zero Records and Crucificados Pelo Sistema Records and is going to come out in May 2012. Future Displode  releases are the splits 7"'s with Conclude and Dudman (Jp).

Void Forger-Ruined demo 2012

This is from their Lastfm: Void Forger is a Romanian band from Bucharest playing a mix of sludge, crust and black metal formed in 2011. Its three members are originally from Bacau, Romania, but have relocated to Bucharest for studies. There they have done a few jams with different band members, the ones from 2010 leading to the ideas approached by the current band, old school down tempo harshly distorted music with hints of speed, screamed vocals and with a dark and nihilistic sound. The lyrics are inspired by cyberpunk and dystopian themes, fantasy and social issues. In early April 2012 they released a 3-song demo, Ruined, which is free to download.
The demo delivers three lengthy songs, music wise there is a mixture of doom and sludge with some black metal and crust hints: Slow and mid-paced tempos, slow and heavy guitar riffs and bass lines, deep dark low throaty vocals and genre and beat changes keep the whole thing interesting: From mid paced crust outbreaks to the pessimistic doom/sludge parts. As conclusion, the whole demo is interesting and fans of doom/sludge/dark hardcore will like it, since it reached the 200 downloads per month (is this a proof of being a interesting demo or not?) the band uploaded in mediafire, enjoy it!

I won't rant much about Dismaster since Mike of Fifteen Counts.. more or less said everything that could be said: No gods but masters is a seven track tape delivering ten minutes of D-beat with a Motorhead feeling and a vocalist who sounds like a Japanese hardcore band singer. Great work here, fast and steady acid D-beat hardcore full of wrath. The tape was released by Vlad Tapes and sold out in three weeks, Truth Decay Tapes is going to release the US edition. Apart from this tape there is the four track Live at Hässäkkä​-​päivät from 2011. give both one (or maybe more) listening(s)!, Sami thanks for sending this, cheers!
