This is a compilation recorded and put together by Trainwreck recording studios located in Campbell, Ca. This disc is housed in thick caustic orange cardboard jacket wrapped with a thick white paper band around the outside with the names of the bands featured, accompanied by a thick booklet of black and white photos of all the bands involved. This is still a favorite around my compound. Enjoy!

Life Is A Lie - Tomo II: Sobre os Fundamentos d'Ordem

I can't find much info. at all about this band but they're from Brazil and they play some kick ass crusty, blackened deathgrind. I've been wearin' this shit out lately and totally recommend it...


"LIFE IS A LIE began its activities on 2001, and released its debut full length CD on 2002 through Laja Rekords. Lots of gigs were done, including shows with World Burns To Death (USA), Rompeprop (Holland), Fubar (Holland), Força Macabra (Finland), Isacaarum (Czech Republic) and more. In 2007 Mutilation Records released the second full lenght: "Tomo II: Sobre os Fundamentos d A Ordem". Soon a split 7EP with the grindcore masters from ROT will be release. Music wise, the band has influences from grindcore, crust, death and black metal, not worrying to be tied to any particular genre or scene. Life is A Lie has its own path. Lyric wise, the bands starting point is the death of the christian god and the countless consequences and questions resulting from this fact. A simultaneously strong, thought-provoking, cynic and painful point of view on the paths of humankind." ~ Band's Myspace

Fuck On The Beach - Endless Summer (2001)

I had no idea what to expect from this band until I actually played this cd and damn, it's good! Killer thrash/power violence with completely bat-shit screamed vocals. Imagine if Pig Destroyer, Melt Banana, Spazz and The Locusts all fucked on the beach and had an angry, angry baby. That's this...


"Fuck on the Beach (AKA FxOxB) is a power violence/thrashcore band from Tokyo, Japan. They have released several records on the influential hardcore punk record label Slap-A-Ham Records run by Spazz vocalist/bassist Chris Dodge.

In 1999 the band played at Fiesta Grande, a power violence music festival put on by Slap-A-Ham Records, at 924 Gilman as part of their US Tour. This concert was recorded and released on CD as Power Violence Forever US Tour 1999.

Although the band's first language is Japanese, the lyrics and titles of their songs are in English. This often results in examples of Engrish such as the songs "I Cannot Stop Fall in Love" or "Never No Skin Fuck" from their Power Violence Forever CD" ~ Wiki

Deadfood - Demo (2000)

Demo - 2000

Genre - Jazzy, Noise, Grind ????
Origin - Los Angeles, Ca.
Time - 11:49 min.
File - 22.99 MB (320 kbps)

The key word for "weird feelings" can be "smirking" - they are based on quite serious musical cliches that are taunted with all the power of imagination agitated by mushrooms. The result they get is to be made absurd, mixed here and there with different properties and trumpery such as, degenerate vocals, acid-synthesised grunting, sounds of traditional Chukchi-Nenetsk autonomous region and etc. And such kind of miraculous stuff changes one another at the speed high enough not to be able to catch their succession. And that is what makes the album the one to listen to and the one that can't be classified. That's where the compound words like "weird-neo-noise-grind-jazz" come from to define the things that deadfood creates. Although even these words wouldn't characterize the unruly music. (taken from Sound Delirium)

Track List:
1. Colostomy Grab Bag
2. Eximo
3. Haircoup

Here is Deadfood's 3 song demo from 2000. They were a band from Southern California that featured Kevin Fetus from the bands Watch Me Burn (previous post), Fetus Eaters and Cattle Decapitation (briefly). Deadfoods music is all over the map and really hard to tag if labels are your thing.

Kevin also runs a label called Vomitcore Records that puts out most of his bands releases. The review above is from their 2001 self released full length "Weird Feelings" in which these three songs appear. Info on Deadfood is minimal but here's an interview from 2002 here and here. Check it out!

Watch Me Burn - Demo (2001)

Demo 2001

Genre - Thrash/Grind
Origin - Los Angeles, Ca.
Time - 6:14 min.
File - 9.94 MB (320kbps)

Conceived by screamer SAWA, guitar player Kevin Fetus, drummer Rusty Reens and bass player Russ Herpich, as a dirty/sludgy/grind/thrash with a hint of psychedelic ambience. WATCH ME BURN set out to raise the bar of what was deemed as "extreme music".

"We wrote songs we wanted to hear, stuff that had enormous weight, coupled with a punch to the throat, and the thrill of floating in a vat of psilocybin", says guitar player Kevin.

In mid 2001 WATCH ME BURN recorded a 3 song CD that was not only praised around the world by the metal community, and brought the quartet some early label attention, but the band declined, as they felt they had some more dues to pay. The band began a lengthily campaign, passing out the 3 song CD"s to anyone who would listen, 3000 copies later the work had paid off. WATCH ME BURN was gaining attention, playing with several of underground metal's heavy weights, Pig Destroyer, Phobia, Cattle Decapitation, Exhumed, and Uphill Battle. It wasn't long until WATCH ME BURN was doing sold out shows in their home town.

In the fall of 2002 a full length had been recorded for L.A. based Vomitcore Records, WATCH ME BURN began the campaign again, sending out the self titled CD's to every zine and Radio station they could find. This brought the attention from Rhapsodeath Productions to co-release a split CD with Malaysia's Spermblast. 500 copies were pressed which quickly sold out, and were just as soon repressed. Later that year, WATCH ME BURN began demoing new material which found it's way onto a split 7" with release with nosiecore/power violence pioneers Godstomper.

In mid 2003, WATCH ME BURN set out on a West Coast Tour that took them from San Diego to Vancouver B.C. for a sold out show with gore hounds Exhumed and doom messiahs Goatsblood. The writing continued, the song structures got weirder, the intensity was building, and the fan base was growing.

In Late 2004 WATCH ME BURN was asked to perform on the infamous KXLU - L.A. radio's best station, some of these songs were then released as live split 7"with fellow Vomitcore label mates Fetus Eaters...this release furthered their onslaught in the metal underground. WMB were then asked to fill in on a few West Coast dates for the Vital Remains, Black Dahlia Murder, Cattle Decapitation tour. The band was well received, and was stoked to be playing for bigger audiences.

The band continued writing new material which they began recording in late 2005 and finished up in late 2006. The new songs are stronger, some have a completely new approach in regards to tuning, bringing out hidden melodies that help the bands already expanding universe of Vomitcore. There will be elements of doom, crust, thrash, grind and the intermittent burst of "funk", all the things that help make WATCH ME BURN a staple in the Vomitcore scene.

Female fronted Thrash from the "City of Angels". This is the disc I spoke of in a previous post I did of The Index. This was handed out at a gig at 924 Gilman St. quite a few years back. This was the bands first effort to get the ball rolling. Hit their page up here, enjoy!

Bodies Lay Broken - Eximinous Execration of Exiguous Exequies

"Bodies Lay Broken is blisteringly brutal, blitzkrieg-style old school goregrind. It’s just non-stop grinding, gurgling vocals and screeches, and machine gun fire blastbeats. And it’s fucking awesome. Yeah, these guys are just treading down the street that Carcass and Co. paved back in the early 90’s and late 80’s, but fuck if it ain’t great. Songs like "Ectopic Dropsy and Debridement" remind you of everything you loved about Carcass, and none of the boring, contrived shit released by the thousands upon thousands of clones they spawned. Honest to God, if the melodic death phase never happened to Carcass, this is exactly the direction I would have wanted them to go in: blisteringly fast, unrelentingly brutal grindcore. Ignore their strange fascination with the Japanese though; yes, I too have no idea what the Asian men are saying in these sound samples (though I suspect the opener to "Importunate Harrying Malactic Clyster" is from a rather famous piano-wire-meets-foot scene from Takashi Miike’s Audition, but fuck I don’t feel like checking it). There is no reason any self-respecting grindcore or goregrind fan does not have Bodies Lay Broken’s full length. If you value the pummeling traditional of the gore-soaked Carcass, you owe it to yourself to pick up Eximinious Execration of Exiguous Exequies." ~ Teufelstomb.com

Pig Destroyer/Gnob split - (1999)

Pig Destroyer/Gnob split

Genre - Grind/Comedic Thrash
Origin - Virginia
Time - 21:54 min.
File - 43.29 MB (320kbps)

This Robodog split CD features two extreme bands, Pig Destroyer and Gnob. Pig Destroyer is the more notable of the two, especially considering their recent signing to Relapse Records. Both bands deliver aggressive music, although their approaches are vastly different.

The first nine tracks of this sixteen track release are courtesy of Pig Destroyer, a grindcore band from Virgina. These guys are heavy. There's just no other way to describe them. Their pulsating metal and grindcore grooves are relentless, and almost scary. The vocals consist entirely of yells and screams, with an occasional death metal growl here and there. The band is definitely tight, and while they're prone to super fast machine-gun bursts of metal, they often slow down to pound out some blistering thrash metal. Pig Destroyer's nine tracks include a cover of The Stooges' "Down In The Street". Really, there's nothing boring about this 3-piece, and the fact that they don't have a bassist doesn't make them any less devastating.

We must admit that we don't know a thing about Gnob. We think they're from Virginia. Their music really has nothing in common with Pig Destroyer, expect that in the most general use of the term, you could call their offerings "metal". Gnob (bong backwards?) are difficult to figure out. Their songs are more comedic than anything, and they're certainly not a "tight" band. Thrash-comedy-rock-fuzz might be an appropriate description of Gnob. Then again, what the heck does that mean? The band even goes so far as to cover portions of the Mary Poppins soundtrack on "Merry Popskins". Strange stuff. -- (taken from Lambgoat)

2. Patterns Of Failure

Unmade (2002)

File - 25.27 MB (320kbps)

Track List:
1. Megan
2. Ride Fast
3. Transmission
4. Lost
5. Circle Of You

The Index mix elements of new school hardcore with pulverizing grind blasts. Most appreciated are the absolutely throat destroying female vocals by The Index's screamer Elysia, who sounds like a cross between Blaine from The Accused and Schmeir from Destruction. The band also features two ex members of Enemy Soil, Richard and Mason.

The Index put out a s/t full length back in 2000' on a label called Displacer Beast. This 5 track disc was put out on Brick In The Face Anesthesia Recordings, a label that I think was run by one of the members of the band. The liner notes says it was recorded by Mark, one of the guitarist's in 2002 and it was released after the s/t full length.

I got this disc from a gig at 924 Gilman St. in Berkeley (around that time) from a couple of smokin hot punk chicks that were walking through the crowd handing out a stack of CD's! I remember getting this, a Watch Them Burn disc and a disc by a band called DeadFood. I should dig them out and post them sometime. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.....haha, yeah right!

Strong Intention - Each Day Lived...An Act Of Defiance (2000)

On tour next month with Eyehategod. Check 'em out!!


"Formed in 1993, STRONG INTENTION continues to deliver brutal hardcore fueled by extreme speed, heaviness, and disgust. The band's earliest incarnation found itself heavily Influenced by classic NYHC outfits such as AGNOSTIC FRONT, BREAKDOWN, and the CRO-MAGS, and released the What's At Stake demo in 1993. These early recordings aligned the band with ultra-tough heavy hardcore represented in Maryland by NEXT STEP UP and GUT INSTINCT. But by 1995, issues of focus took their toll on the lineup, leaving then-guitarist Zac as the only original member, and putting the band into a year-long hiatus. In 1996, the band re-formed around a new core lineup, and the new members brought a new, diverse range of ideas and influences to the band. Gradually writing faster and faster material, the band released a debut 7" EP in 1996 on Crucial Blast. This EP was a minor departure from the earlier heavy NYHC hardcore the band had been known for; as the newer material was much faster and moved Zac over to lead vocals. After the EP was released, STRONG INTENTION continued to go through a myriad of lineup changes throughout the 90's; yet managed to tour the US and Canada 5 times.

Through all of this, the band's sound has continued to shift more and more towards the harshest ends of the underground extreme hardcore / metal spectrum, as well as cultivate a thoroughly apocalyptic worldview.

Recent actions have included the May 2002 STRONG INTENTION / CRIPPLE BASTARDS East Coast tour, the release of the band's latest recording, a 14 song CD entitled Extermination Vision, released on the European label COALITION RECORDS, and a BRAND NEW split EP with Germany's Y. Over the past 2 years, the band has also released their debut LP/CD, What Else Can We Do..., as well as the 10 song 7" EP Each Day Lived An Act Of Defiance on California label SIX WEEKS.

Strong Intention also completed a May 2004 East Coast tour with PHOBIA and ROTTEN SOUND (Finalnd) and just completed a 40day US summer tour with crossover legends D.R.I.

2005 saw more touring from S.I. , including 2 US tours and about 75 shows for the year.

In 2006 the band did a Feb/March US tour with NEURAXIS (Prosthetic), which included west coast dates with IMPALED and DISFEAR and marked the bands first show ever in MEXICO. The band followed up that tour with an east coast/midwest tour with DISFEAR,MISERY INDEX, PHOBIA and 9 SHOCKS TERROR. It was definitely a career high point as far as touring goes.

Once the tour was completed the band went into the studio with STEVE AUSTIN (TODAY IS THE DAY) and worked on the follow up to Extermination Vision. 18 songs were recorded and 2010 will finally see the release of the new cd.........FREEDOM IS SLAVERY !!" ~ Band's Myspace

This was released on a short lived Finnish label called Tylyt Levyt.

More on Cause For Effect can be found here and here. Utter Bastard was the reason I picked this lil'slab up in the first place. I picked up their debut ep when it came out back in 96' and have been a fan since. I have the majority of their out put except for the 2002 split w/ Irritate and the new split I just seen on their page here . My favorite release by Utter Bastard is the split they did with Deadbodieseverywhere back in 98' on 625 Productions. Check this mini disc out and leave some damn comments!

ARGH!

Plutocracy was a Grindcore band from Atherton California and a major player in the West Bay underground fast music scene. They existed from 1988-1993 and then reformed in 1998 to record an album to honor former bass player Dan "Zodiac Iller" Hogan who had recently passed. Plutocracy's musical style can be summarized in one word: Dankcore. A mix of Grindcore, distortion, movie samples, gangtsa' rap and multiple screaming voices with references to killing cops, smoking weed and inside jokes regarding their "crew", known to many as the "Doomryderz". The group consisted of Stinkweed (guitar, vocals), Kalmex (guitar, vocals), Frank Ripple (bass), Battle Axe Max (Max Ward, drums), Dan Hogan (bass, vocals), Billy (bass), Chris V (bass), Jessie (vocals) and Mike (bass). They put out a demo called "Progress", several split 7" records with 976, Aproctous, Discordance Axis, Phobia and a few EPs one titled "Snitch" and the other "Freedom Denied" which were all later released on the Dankstahz CD. In 98' came the final Plutocracy album Sniping Pigz.

Even today their influence is still strong in the underground music scene. The former members themselves did everything but slow down after the demise of Plutocracy. They went on to form such bands as Spazz, Agents Of Satan, No Le$$, Kalmex & The Riffmerchants, Go Like This! and Kompound (a rap group) as well as form record labels and continue to push the envelope in the West Coast scene.

Plutoloko!

Benumb

Formed in 1994, in the San Francisco Bay Area, BENÜMB quickly built a respected reputation within the hardcore community with their explosive, aggressive sound. Withstanding various lineup changes during their early years, this 5-piece D.I.Y. powerhouse has solidified into an absolutely vicious assembly that lives and thrives within multiple musical scenes. After honing their music for almost a year, a split 7" with SHORT HATE TEMPER was released in mid-1995 on the Same Day label.

BENÜMB took the next year and a half to further develop their style of pounding hardcore/thrash as they played tons of shows with friends and peers MAN IS THE BASTARD, SPAZZ, EXHUMED, DYSTOPIA and CAPITALIST CASUALTIES, among others, all the while remembering and appreciating the unity and friendships they were building. 1997 was a busy year for BENÜMB, as the band recorded and released numerous seven inch records, including splits with DUKES OF HAZZARD and APARTMENT 213. Their crushing live set at the infamous Fiesta Grande festival was recorded and released as part of the Fiesta Comes Alive! LP on Slap A Ham. After following the band's progression, witnessing their live performances and hearing their angry bursts of unreal frustration, Relapse had no choice but to get involved. In late 1997 the destructive Gear In The Machine 7" was released on the Relapse 7" series and in 1998, a killer live split-flexi with SUPPRESSION accompanied issue ..3 of the notorious Monkeybite fanzine to an enormous response.

In May of 1998, BENÜMB released their first full-length, Soul Of The Martyr, which delivered 38 atomic clouts of ferocious hardcore/grind in the California tradition. Unveiling caustic new material alongside the Gear... recordings and material from the APARTMENT 213 and the (forthcoming) AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED splits, Soul... also contained BENÜMB's full live performance from the Fiesta Comes Alive! recording. Soul Of The Martyr was fueled by anger, influenced by metal, and destined for cult status! Songs such as the shocking Agony 1 (:18) and the oh-so-sudden Agony 2 (:05) showed the grinding ferocity of the band, while tracks like Stood Up and Sold Out and Deprivation revealed an overwhelming other side. The inner-sleeve of the release showed BENÜMB's respect and dedication to the underground scene that they thrive in as the band listed the contact information to 101(!) of their favorite bands. Soul Of The Marytr met to a rousing response, and the band promoted the release by completing several mini-tours of the U.S., and appeared at every major U.S. heavy music festival in the two years that followed, including the 1998 and 1999 Milwaukee Metalfests and the 1998 and 1999 March Metal Meltdowns.

BENÜMB then issued an eye-opening affirmation to the declining state of society with Withering Strands Of Hope. Produced by Bart Thurber (SPAZZ, EXHUMED) at Oakland's House Of Faith, Withering Strands Of Hope assails the listener with hostile hardcore/grind and is a grand platform for the band's venomous commentary. Remarkable songs like Once And Never Again, Oxygen Thief, Father To The Fatherless and Ascend From Persecution showed BENÜMB railing against apathy, suppression and neglect with a take-no-prisoners ferocity and activist's aggressiveness. Withering Strands Of Hope was the soundtrack to an impending revolution and musical mutiny at its anarchistic apex.

Following shortly after in the spring of 2002, BENÜMB attacked again, this time in the form of the critically-acclaimed split 3" CD with labelmates and grind visionaries PIG DESTROYER. In addition to being the band's best-recieved recording to date, this split EP showcased an intense evolution in the band's sound with the return of Paul Pontikoff (VULGAR PIGEONS) on guitars.

BENÜMB have established a reputation among punks and metalheads alike as one of the most aggressive American hardcore bands. (taken from their myspace page)

This Comp Kills Fascists - Vol. 1 (2008)

Here's a really cool compilation that's the perfect soundtrack for whenever you just have to break some shit. The Agents Of Satan tracks are just sick!! Actually, the whole comp is sick. "Joe Ryder" has to be one of the coolest new songs (to me, anyway) I've heard in a while. Good listening...

'This Comp Kills Fascists' features new and exclusive material from INSECT WARFARE, MAGRUDERGRIND, KILL THE CLIENT, and more, as well as the first new material in almost ten years from AGENTS OF SATAN and legendary grinders BRUTAL TRUTH. 'This Comp.' is fast, loose, ferociously independent, unpretentious, and fun. Recommended If You Like: NAPALM DEATH, BRUTAL TRUTH, PIG DESTROYER, NASUM, SOILENT GREEN, DESPISE YOU" ~ Amazon

"Cry Now, Cry Later" was a great series of compilations released by Pessimiser Records out of Hermosa Beach, California. A killer label that existed from 1993 to 2001 and were the purveyors in bringing you the early works by bands such as Grief and - 16-. There are a total of 4 Volumes that were originally released as double 7" ep's. Here are Volumes 1 & 2 from the CD version released in 1998 that contains bonus material not featured on the ep's. Volume 1 was originally released in 1993 and Volume 2 in 1994.
There are a lot of first wave Powerviolence bands (I really dislike the tag) featured in the comp. series along side Grindcore, Metal, Hardcore and Sludge bands. All of the bands on here are good except for the Meatshits who just plan suck...haha! Hell, some of the bands on here are still delivering the goods. Look for Volumes 3 & 4 soon to follow. Check it out and leave some comments, slackers!

AAARRRRGH!
