Baltring Terror-2nd demo

Baltring Terror is a trio from (Bretagne?) France and include members of Krevar and Bakounine, this is their second demo which delivers eight tracks of mercilessly tortured noisy D-beat punk: In less than eight minutes they bring some feed back of furious D-beat noise: Pure raw sound, distorted vocals, distorted bass and guitar, noise and noise again recorded in four track and no mastered. I can say Baltring Way of Life is my fav. song. They have one more demo and a split tape/cdr with Dispose from Sweden

Pololtia Micpetlacalli-Chichiquitzatzilztli (2011) & Yeztlichichihualayatl (2012)

Pololtia Micpetlacalli is an one man experimental project from Peru: Alexander (cheers!), the guy who formed PM describes his project as Raw Metal - Noise - Folk and the truth is his music is as strange as the language his sings in: Pololtia Micpetlacalli means forgotten coffin in nahuatl which "is a group of related languages and dialects of the Nahuan (traditionally called "Aztecan") branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family. Collectively they are spoken by an estimated 1.5 million Nahua people, most of whom live in Central Mexico". Its very hard to classify the music, there are not any real instruments here (except percussion) but computer sounds: fast drumming keeps the beat for the extreme noises, there are atmospheric ambient-ish passages here and there or even ballad-like tracks, high pitched acid black metal vocals and lyrics about nature and death. Sometimes it sounds like raw black metal and sometimes goes beyond that. Some tracks are uploaded in Youtube so you can have an idea of what you should expect:here, here, here and there.

Crypt Of The Zombilord-Untitled cd/tape 2011

No don't get mislead by the name, this is neither goregrind not deathgrind but crusty grind-thrash heavily influenced by old school grindcore and even metal punk: Crypt Of The Zombilord come from Borås, Sweden, they formed in 2011 for the "love of older grindcore and punk/metal bands. It’s not that we wanted to be stuck in the past or glorify it but wanted to do something that had the organic energy and delivery of the bands we grew up with." If you want more details about them, there is an interesting interview in Pest zine, you can visit their facebook, twitter and their blog.
This eight track demo cdr was recorded in summer of 2011 and was released in January 2012, there is a limited to only 50 copies tape version of it (Sacrificial Tapes) . Music wise there are eight tracks "influenced by bands such as NAPALM DEATH, AMEBIX, DISCHARGE, REPULSION, DARKTHRONE and CARCASS": Genres come all in a blending of crust with grindcore and thrash, brutal growls and yelled/shouted vocals all combined in stinking liquid shit in a boiling cauldron in hell. Beats move from mid paced to fast, no blast beating wall of sound in here, sometimes they are more into grind and sound like Obituary (check The Lost Trailblazers) and sometimes they bring some metal crustie parts (Cultural hyphae). This is available from free in their bandcamp but if you want a real copy just contact with the band.
CoZ are included in PUNK AID: JAKARTA CALLING" via Movement Records (Indonesia) and Evacuate Records, their discography also includes a split tape/cdr with F.U.C.K.

Våldsamt Motstånd-Wermland demo 2011

Våldsamt Motstånd hail from Karlstad, Sweden, the home city of Deathsters Vomitory and this is their third demo recorded and released in spring of '11 in cdr format. They were formed in 2010 and so far they released three cdr demos, Lagen om alltings jävlighet (2010), Högre tempo - djupare gravar (2011) and Wermland (2011). I don't know what they delivered in their first and second demo but with Wermland they bring seven tracks and nearly fourteen minutes of fast käng hardcore/crust reminding of Skitsystem and Bombstrike. All songs are fast minus Normal and Vagval's intro which reminds me of AC/DC (the intro,not the song!), the vocals are yelled with some growls here and there and music wise some (black) metal hints (check Vargad) pop up in the crust mayhem. You need some brutal shit? go ahead and get it!

Möwer come from Pittsburgh USA and this is their four track tape released in the summer of 2011, they tag their music as "d-beat hardcore punk rock and roll thrash-core" and Cvult Nation has a cool review of it: "Black distortion, black feedback, black noize,this sleazy d-thrash band is kick ass plain & simple! This Pittsburgh band does not play their songs, they just fucking charge through them at break bones speed. When I listen to this band, I can hear & see the blackened flame coming off the guitar. MOWER have a couple different tempos to their d-boogie jams: fast, faster & just all out lightspeed, this is the type of music to start your day & you might beat up a cop! (read the whole review here), i don't have to say anything, they said it all (kali dikaiologia e?nai variemai) go and download it.

The religious anti punk shit in South East Asia continues: Singapore's grinders Wormrot were arrested while touring in Malaysia in the early hours of New Year's Day by religious authorities, they were taken into custody from one police department to another and finally they had to pay $950 USD per person and be free, their crime was been unmarried women and men in the same room the same time, this is ridiculous as shit...

While at their hotel, the Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (Selangor Islamic Religious Department) came into their room. Azean, the band's manager, says:"After several questions and telling us that it is wrong for unmarried Muslim men and women to be in one room, they took our passports and we were taken to the police station to give our statements and call someone to bail us." check the page for more.
Take a look at band's tumblr site, here and read more details about the incident and the situation there about religion matters.

Toke De Keda-Globalizacion assesina demo 2007

Toke De Keda come from Santiago, Chile and this is their demo from 2007 delivering twelve anthems of political anarcho punk despite the "crossover metalpunx" follow to their name in their facebook page. this is all out political punk, with anarchist lyrics about the usual topics, (elections, corporation greed, globalization etc), there are many melodic and sing along parts here and there and the sound is descent. They seem to be very active since they have a bunch of releases under their belt,you can find their catalogue and download links too in their facebook shit, i didn't listen their other releases yet, so i can't tell what's was their direction after Globalizacion assesina, from the myspace tracks is obvious that they walked into crossover/thrash pathway. Anyway this is good Latino American Anarcho punk so give it a listening (link is provided by the band)

Hellcrawler-Wastelands cd (2011,Hollow Earth Records)

Death n Roll with metal sound and D-beat in an awesome combination delivering apocalyptic crust at its finest: From Doom's D-beat discrust to Wolfbrigade's melodic lines and from the slower passages that pop up here and there to Swedish death metal heaviness: "Dwelling among the debris of the whore capital of Western Slovenia, Hellcrawler are a bunch of cynical wasteland denizens who found unsavory panacea in the symbiosis of punk violence, stoner rock atmosphere and heavy riffage. Their soundtrack to the demise of humankind is a motorized assault of old school death metal and d-beat which reflects their major source of inspiration, the decaying aesthetic of post apocalyptic and spaghetti western cinematography. Beginning in 2010, the outfit saw their first release, Wastelands, in 2011 on Hollow Earth Records". Check their fb page. This is a great cd, I liked it much more than expected and gave it many listening again and again.
A cool review of the release, here
