Unquiet hail from Berlin Germany and this is their three track demo recorded sometime in 2008.
This was limited to only 100 copies and delivers three tracks of heavy, emotional and dark crust in the vein of From Ashes Rise, His Hero is Gone and Tragedy. There are some dark melodies here and there, vocals are screamed/yelled, the sound quality is excellent and rhythms vary from fast to slower and emotional. The demo comes in tape format with nice package and includes the lyrics: This is paper made and not the typical plastic, lyrics included in a nicely done sheet, package and sheet may look a bit impractical but the idea is nice. The band offers the tracks for free in their myspace, unfortunately there is no any further information there, recently they released their first lp "This is darkness descended" on Behind the Scenes, Contraszt and Synalgie Records (Synalgie is the label behind the release of this demo)

Germ Attak/ICBM-split demo 2004

A split demo with two bands coming from Ottawa, Canada:ICBM is a crust band with female vocals, they formed in 2004, this is their only recorded material, around 2005-06 they disbanded. Their tracks are aggressive in mid paced tempos, a few metal influences appear here and here, the female vocals sound good and fit with the raw and dissent sound of guitar.
ICBM stands for Intercontinental Ballistic Missile(thanx Slobo). Amebix seem to have given this name to many bands :There is another punk/hardcore ICBM from Edmonton Canada, a crust ICBM from South Korea and a UK electronica ICBM..and maybe some more out there...
Germ Attack have their roots in 80's UK hardcore, they love Disorder and the likes and their tracks is a homage to this band: One of the GA guys who runs Capitalicide distro has sent in the past two demos, the Schizophasia and No Solution demos.
Germ Attack stuff is very close to No Solution's Disorder worship. They have released some ep's ("st(?)", "Zapatista", "A Bleak Future" , a live split tape w/ t.h.r.u.s.h. from Canada and the "Ourovoros" lp/cd, most of the stuff is available in Capitalicide

Altare-Demo 2008

Altare is an old school death metal/crust band from Germany and these tracks is their 2008 demo: They balance between crust and death metal, the demo consists of six tracks and 25 minutes of running time, the leading guitar has a crust flavor in some tracks(God of deconstruction) while metal overcomes in some others(Tumultus ad murum, No existence), the production is good and dissent and along with drums help the creation of crust feeling since there 's neither clear death metal sound nor manic blast beats. Lyrically they are into metal territory but their attitude is in the punk/hardcore/diy area, there are some nice guitar melodies, a girl handles bass duties,the vocals are sometimes clear, sometime high pitched screams and deep low growls, not the metal total distorted but the growl that is familiar to crust bands.

Disagreed-Demo 2008

i have a bunch of demos for this month (Altare,Rakkaus,4 Scums,Unquiet,Uncle Charles,Constant State of Terror etc) but no free time, hope to bring you as more as i can.
Disagreed hail from Rostov,Russia, they formed in autumn of 2007 and a few months later they recorded this three track demo.Despite the Dis on their name they are a NYHC band and not another dis-raw punk/crustcore act. I m not into Agnostic Front, Madball and this kind of hardcore in general so i can't tell they sound like this or like that. The sound quality is good with raw and thick guitars, the typical NYHC vocals are there, each track is about two minutes long and the whole thing is not bad at all (if you are into this). They offer the demo for free in their myspace, in alternative you can choose my upload.
According to their myspace the are going to record some tracks for an upcoming ep
