Viimeinen Kolonna - Luonnoton Poistuma (2011)

Another band I've posted before but equally worthy of your time is Viimeinen Kolonna from Finland. They play hardcore punk and they're good so grab this one too.

Brain Killer - Every Actual State is Corrupt (2011)

Great new raw d-beat, will surely be seeing this in my top hardcore/punk releases of the year.

Download

Ilsa - Tutti il Colori del Buio (2010)

Heavy sludge/death doom with touches of crust from the US. For fans of Coffins, Hooded Menace (who they just released a split with), Corrupted, etc. Highly recommended, this album kicked my arse hard when I first heard it.

Minority Xpose - S/T Demo Tape (2010)

Seems as though most of the music I post on here is Japanese - well there is a reason for that and thats because its all good. This is no exception of course, very well executed crust punk which reminds me a lot of Pisschrist.

Devastated Goes - Devastation CDR

More Japanese crust. This time, of the totally blown out and noisy variety. Fucking incredible vocals and music, I'm sure that you will dig this if you like Zouo or Japanese hardcore punk in general. Highly recommended!

Proof of Existence - Scriptural Disaster

Japanese crust. The band has split up and this was their first and only release. Ex-member of Gouka and now playing in Chaos Engine.

Bombanfall - Åsiktsfrihet 7''

80s raw crust from Sweden with unique vocals. Obvious Swedish sound but one can also hear Discharge in there as well.

Download

Slang - Life Made Me Hardcore

Japanese crust/hc punx. This is their latest LP from last year. Its awesome.

Download

Black September - The Forbidden Gates Beyond

Crusty black metal. Takes cues from Watain, Martyrdöd and Iskra. Highly recommended!

DAžD

Here is DAžD from Serbia, who play an interesting mix of doom, black metal and crust punk. The riffs are groovy, the vocals are a bit "out-there" (they list GISM as one of their influences), and the lyrics are supposed to be about anarchism and the occult, although I can't understand a word they are saying.

Crust? Fuck yes!

The Passion of The Crust.

Kriegshög - S/T LP

Best hardcore/punk/crust/whatever record of the year. Noisy, distorted, furious, Japanese hc punk.

This is why.....

...we can't have nice things!

Here you will find a demo for a band I was in briefly: John Laws. Alas, it didn't get very far, but I half hope it may be resurrected in the next year or so, we shall see. For fans of crusty punk and grind. This features the skills of yours truly on vox and Brad Smith (Super Fun Happy Slide, Holy Boner, etc.) on drums, bass, and bass.

Trivia: this was recorded early 2006, on a 36 degree (celsius) day. Brad had an epic hangover from the previous nights festivities, but still managed to nail the drums for each song in one take per song. Also, all drum takes were recorded using a pair of Sing Star wireless mics. DIY or GTFO!
