ACACIA STRAIN, THE - Continent DoLP/CD 13.50/12.50 EUR
METALCORE. The ACACIA STRAIN are back! And the band doesn't disappoint one bit. "Continent" is an amazing example of heavy music. All that you have come to love from the band lies in this album, and there is even room for new fans to also enjoy this record. Revolver quotes the album by saying that ''the album is unleashing an earthquaking, eardrum-breaking barrage of syrupy-thick distortion". (2008/PROSTHETIC)
-----------------------------------------------------------
AGRACEFUL - The great I am CD 10.90 EUR
HARDCORE. AGRACEFUL come from Dayton, OH and feature the former vocalist of EMAROSA, who brings both subtle singing and harsh screams to his delivery, all layered over guitars that are at times technical and thunderous, but soon switch to sweeping melodies, showing the band's versatility. Their tour history already includes the "Scream The Prayer" tour with SLEEPING GIANT, IMPENDING DOOM, WAR OF AGES and BEFORE THEIR EYES among others, as well as tours with OH, SLEEPER and HERE I COME FALLING. (2008/SUMERIAN)
-----------------------------------------------------------
AKEPHAL - Same CD 9.90 EUR
HARDCORE. Finally after all the years here comes the reissue of the AKEPHAL 12inch which originally came out back in 1997. This CD was supposed to have the recordings for their second and unreleased 12inch too, but these stupid drunk punks lost the master while they drunk a billion beers. But guess what, they re-recorded five unreleased songs and put it on the CD. Everything is newly mastered and includes the recordings of the 12inch, a compilation song, the 5 unreleased songs and some bonus stuff. The new material is still dark and brutal hardcore inspired by bands like URANUS, ACME or HIS HERO IS GONE. (2008/NARSHARDAA)
-----------------------------------------------------------
ANNIHILATION TIME - III, Tales of the ancient age (US) LP 11.50 EUR
HARDCORE. Now available as US-Import. 'Blast'-ing out of Oxnard, CA comes this SST records inspired hardcore troupe. ANNIHILATION TIME are the ideal mix of '70s rock and '80s hardcore. "III, Tales of the ancient age" further bridges the gap between the band's wildly comparative influences, ranging from BL'AST! to THIN LIZZY. Their third full-length album is a 10-track mind riot laced with neck breaking rhythms, obscene twin guitar leads and angst-driven vocals. A must for fans of scorching atonal lead breaks, frantic vocals, and off-time, start-stop time signatures. This LP contains free mp3 download of the entire album! (2008/TEE PEE)
-----------------------------------------------------------
AVSKUM - Uppror underifran LP/CD 9.90/9.50 EUR
HARDCORE-PUNK. Blasting an unrelenting wall of D-Beat hardcore, resonating with vitality, "Uppror Underifran" (translated loosely "Uproar from the Underground") by Swedish legends AVSKUM is stunningly, their most severe record in the band's 26 year history. An overkill attack of smashing drums and guitar riffage, this fourth LP hearkens back to their 1982 origins, with a heavy DISCHARGE bent a la ANTI-CIMEX mired with the incomprehensibily raw, blunt and brutal song structures found in the original era of Swedish hardcore punk. The MOTORHEAD-ish rock overdrive of their previous Prank LPs is still cranked with the curt economy of masters at the top of their game, capped with AVSKUM's inventive song structures and always great, trademark harsh vocals, all captured in a exceptional recording from Gothenburg's Evil Grill studio and slapped in a cool sleeve by Swedish artist Crash Mange. Taking a four year break since their last LP,"Punkista," the band took time writing "Uppror underifran" to deliver 16 incredibly rock solid tracks that transition from their previous recordings to now have largely entirely Swedish lyrics, but still take relevant aim at U.S. war policy, capitalism and mass consumption. Stunningly one of the band's best outings yet that demands to be played loud! Very loud! (2008/PRANK)
-----------------------------------------------------------
BLOWBACK - Drug war 7'' 3.70 EUR
HARDCORE-PUNK. The third release from DC protest punk band BLOWBACK, recorded by Don Zientara (Fugazi, Minor Threat) at Inner Ear. Four new songs of biting, bilingual politics mixed with ‘80s style hardcore in the vein of MDC and early BLACK FLAG. Great packaging with artwork by Rob Hanna (Aborted Society). (2008/STRING BREAK)
-----------------------------------------------------------
CREATURES - Same 7'' 3.90 EUR
HARDCORE. CREATURES from Orange County, CA, bring 6 tracks of mean, negative hardcore to this 7". Self loathing, mid tempo hardcore with a touch of "old METALLICA"-style. Taking cues from local California bands CEREMONY and TRASH TALK. (2008/STREETCLEANER)
-----------------------------------------------------------
DANCE GAVIN DANCE - Same CD 11.50 EUR
HARDCORE. Through relentless touring with POISON THE WELL, SILVERSTEIN, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, DANCE GAVIN DANCE have built a rabid following in the three years leading up to the release of this self-titled effort. They continue to push the envelope of their signature screamo/prog-sound with intricate, melodic guitars, and, this time around, enlist the guest vocals of Chino from the DEFTONES, Nic from GTSBYS AMERICAN DREAM and Matt from LOWER DEFINITION. (2008/RISE)
-----------------------------------------------------------
DON CABALLERO - Punkgasm DoLP/CD 14.90/13.50 EUR
POST-HARDCORE. Instrumental music was pioneered by Pittsburgh's DON CABALLERO well over a decade ago, and now, two years after the release of "World class listening problem", they return with "Punkgasm". This album is made up of technical guitar work and frantic drumming that, together, create a sonic pummeling that lets the world know Don Cab hasn't missed a beat. (2008/RELAPSE)
-----------------------------------------------------------
EARLY GRAVES - We: The guillotine CD 12.50 EUR
METALCORE. After rising from the ashes of the band APIARY, San Francisco, CA's EARLY GRAVES fuse the technical prowess of CARCASS with the pissed of crust/punk of HIS HERO IS GONE and adding equal measures ENTOMBED and SLAYER. Guest vocal appearances include spots by Eugene Robinson of OXBOW and Steve Austin of TODAY IS THE DAY. (2008/METAL BLADE)
-----------------------------------------------------------
FLIPOUT A.A. - Flipout Song CD 8.90 EUR
THRASHCORE. Ex-members of Tokyo thrashers LIE regroup and return to their roots of relentless high-speed Japanese thrashcore. 10 songs in 10 minutes - a barrage of pot-induced, ballistic Japanese thrash that will have you asking for more. (2008/625)
-----------------------------------------------------------
FUNCTIONAL BLACKOUTS - Severed tongue LP 10.90 EUR
PUNKROCK. Available again! The FUNCTIONAL BLACKOUTS are back again with another piece of shit!. Four chaps from Chicago bang out noisy rock'n'roll influenced by everything from the GERMS to the ROLLING STONES and the STOOGES. Over about a five year period of recorded activity, The FUNCTIONAL BLACKOUTS were able to create a trebly mixture of punk and noise that knowingly could only have culminated in a break-up. (2008/CRIMINAL IQ)
-----------------------------------------------------------
GASLIGHT ANTHEM, THE - The '59 sound LP/CD 11.90/11.50 EUR
PUNKROCK. Although New Brunswick, NJ's GASLIGHT ANTHEM have only been around a couple years, they've become one of the punk underground's most celebrated acts. They've toured with AGAINST ME!, THE LOVED ONES and THE BOUNCING SOULS. Their Side One Dummy debut reconciles their love of classic rock and soul icons BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, OTIS REDDING and TOM PETTY with their NJ punk roots to create a unique musical amalgam. (2008/SIDE ONE DUMMY)
-----------------------------------------------------------
GIANTS - Old stories CD 13.50 EUR

Over the past few years they have had two DIY releases that have each sold over 1,000 copies with no distribution whatsoever and have already completed multiple US tours. On these 7 new songs they once more bring a melodic, instrumental and slightly atmospheric rock that resembles that of bands like CASPIAN, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY and THIS WILL DESTROY YOU. (2008/CAVITY)
-----------------------------------------------------------
HEAVY HEAVY LOW LOW - Turtle nipple and the toxic shock CD 10.90 EUR
METAL. Everyone's favorite spazzy hardcore champs HEAVY HEAVY LOW LOW are releasing their sophomore release for Ferret Record. It is uniquely titled "Turtle nipple and the toxic shock". Never failing to intrigue, the title is a good representation of some of the wacky hijinx that will ensue when the album hits your CD player. The band recorded the record with good friend Sam Pura (NORTH, STRATA, SEIZE THE NIGHT), who did the EP that caught the attention of their New Weatherman home.This is a big deal to the band, who are proud of the progression they have made since their debut. (2008/FERRET)
-----------------------------------------------------------
HUMAN ABSTRACT, THE - Midheaven CD 11.90 EUR
METAL. The HUMAN ABSTRACT returns with their full-length, "Midheaven," the follow-up to their highly acclaimed metal masterpiece "Nocturne." The HUMAN ABSTRACT has created "Midheaven" to be a puzzle box of sorts, meticulously crafted and defying the expectations of a typical metal band. Sweeping solos, chugging guitars and technical drum beats underlie lyrics about intensely creative thought and expression. (2008/HOPELESS)
-----------------------------------------------------------
JAWBREAKER - Dear you DoLP 16.90 EUR
EMO/INDIEROCK. Now this masterpiece is available again on vinyl with a gatefold cover.

KIDCRASH / L'ANTIETAM - Split 7'' 4.50 EUR
SCREAMO-HARDCORE. Split 7" between KIDCRASH from Olympia and Santa Fe and L'ANTIETAM from New Hampshire. Both bands are celebrating the typical mid '90s emo hardcore. KIDCRASH are wilder and more weird. L'ANTIETAM much more melancholic. Nice release, indeed! (2008/NARSHARDAA)

NARROWS - Same 7''col 4.50 EUR
HARDCORE-PUNK. NARROWS are comprised of a seasoned cast of musicians: Dave Verellen (BOTCH, ROY), Rob Moran (UNBROKEN, SOME GIRLS), Ryan Fredereksen (THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES), Jodie Cox (TROPICS, BULLET UNION), and Sam Stothers (MAKEOUT BOYS, QUARANTINE). Frozen Moscow lakes are but a fraction of the desperate cold love that exists in NARROWS’ music. With an overdriven/soaked bass, ghost land guitar work, brooding drums, and a shrapnel laced voice, NARROWS prove they are built for the dark lands we live in. NARROWS’ self-titled debut was recorded and engineered by Ben Verellen (HARKONEN, ROY), brother to vocalist Dave Verellen. In these 3 remarkable songs, NARROWS transcend the tired sub-genres of hardcore/punk/metal and leave their own unforgettable musical scar, proving that they are the celebrated past, awe inspiring present, and infectious future of today’s heavy music community. (2008/DEATHWISH)

ONE FOR THE TEAM - Build it up CD 12.90 EUR
INDIE/POP. Fronted by 21-year old musical phenom Ian Anderson, ONE FOR THE TEAM bring "Build it up," a loud, sunny, sparkling pop gem of an alarmingly contagious magnitude with constant dueling male and female vocals and enough harmonies to melt the icicles from the Minnesota winter that created it. (2008/MILITIA GROUP)
-----------------------------------------------------------
OVERCAST - Reborn to kill again CD 12.90 EUR
DEATH METAL. After the broke up in 1998 the members of OVERCAST went separate ways. Brian joined SHADOWS FALL (a band who had opened for OVERCAST on many occasions). Miked started working on a project called KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. Pete continued writing and ended up in a band called SEEMLESS. Scott began playing bass in TTRANSIENT. Jay formed and played in many bands, finally settling down in the band TUNNEL DRILL. Now 8 years has passed since OVERCAST was an active band. All of a sudden the stars have aligned, the planets have shifted, and old friends find themselves back home with substantial amounts for free time. OVERCAST is reborn. (2008/METAL BLADE)

HARDCORE. Nice dark and heavy apocalypstic hc/punk which reminds of old ARSEN and ANGSTZUSTAND includes modern hardcore like OLD MAN GLOOM, COLISEUM or ISIS meets old cruty hc like HIS HERO IS GONE or UNION OF URANUS.

ACACIA STRAIN, THE - Continent DoLP/CD 13.50/12.50 EUR
METALCORE. The ACACIA STRAIN are back! And the band doesn't disappoint one bit. "Continent" is an amazing example of heavy music. All that you have come to love from the band lies in this album, and there is even room for new fans to also enjoy this record. Revolver quotes the album by saying that ''the album is unleashing an earthquaking, eardrum-breaking barrage of syrupy-thick distortion". (2008/PROSTHETIC)
-----------------------------------------------------------
AGRACEFUL - The great I am CD 10.90 EUR
HARDCORE. AGRACEFUL come from Dayton, OH and feature the former vocalist of EMAROSA, who brings both subtle singing and harsh screams to his delivery, all layered over guitars that are at times technical and thunderous, but soon switch to sweeping melodies, showing the band's versatility. Their tour history already includes the "Scream The Prayer" tour with SLEEPING GIANT, IMPENDING DOOM, WAR OF AGES and BEFORE THEIR EYES among others, as well as tours with OH, SLEEPER and HERE I COME FALLING. (2008/SUMERIAN)
-----------------------------------------------------------
AKEPHAL - Same CD 9.90 EUR
HARDCORE. Finally after all the years here comes the reissue of the AKEPHAL 12inch which originally came out back in 1997. This CD was supposed to have the recordings for their second and unreleased 12inch too, but these stupid drunk punks lost the master while they drunk a billion beers. But guess what, they re-recorded five unreleased songs and put it on the CD. Everything is newly mastered and includes the recordings of the 12inch, a compilation song, the 5 unreleased songs and some bonus stuff. The new material is still dark and brutal hardcore inspired by bands like URANUS, ACME or HIS HERO IS GONE. (2008/NARSHARDAA)
-----------------------------------------------------------
ANNIHILATION TIME - III, Tales of the ancient age (US) LP 11.50 EUR

"III, Tales of the ancient age" further bridges the gap between the band's wildly comparative influences, ranging from BL'AST! to THIN LIZZY. Their third full-length album is a 10-track mind riot laced with neck breaking rhythms, obscene twin guitar leads and angst-driven vocals. A must for fans of scorching atonal lead breaks, frantic vocals, and off-time, start-stop time signatures. This LP contains free mp3 download of the entire album! (2008/TEE PEE)
-----------------------------------------------------------
AVSKUM - Uppror underifran LP/CD 9.90/9.50 EUR
HARDCORE-PUNK. Blasting an unrelenting wall of D-Beat hardcore, resonating with vitality, "Uppror Underifran" (translated loosely "Uproar from the Underground") by Swedish legends AVSKUM is stunningly, their most severe record in the band's 26 year history. An overkill attack of smashing drums and guitar riffage, this fourth LP hearkens back to their 1982 origins, with a heavy DISCHARGE bent a la ANTI-CIMEX mired with the incomprehensibily raw, blunt and brutal song structures found in the original era of Swedish hardcore punk. The MOTORHEAD-ish rock overdrive of their previous Prank LPs is still cranked with the curt economy of masters at the top of their game, capped with AVSKUM's inventive song structures and always great, trademark harsh vocals, all captured in a exceptional recording from Gothenburg's Evil Grill studio and slapped in a cool sleeve by Swedish artist Crash Mange. Taking a four year break since their last LP,"Punkista," the band took time writing "Uppror underifran" to deliver 16 incredibly rock solid tracks that transition from their previous recordings to now have largely entirely Swedish lyrics, but still take relevant aim at U.S. war policy, capitalism and mass consumption. Stunningly one of the band's best outings yet that demands to be played loud! Very loud! (2008/PRANK)
