This is going to be the second to last "uncool" post because I know it's not cool to like "black" music. Then I'll go back to basics...Thanks to Holden for turning me onto this guy.

BLACASTAN

The Master Of Reality (Mixed by Bladerunners)

Download.

Blac Sabbath

Download.


Master of Reality is a mix, Blac Sabbath is the proper album and debut of Ira Osu AKA Blacastan: a hip-hop artist hailing from Hartford,CT. I can type up a paragraph on how he's from the streets and was slanging PCP at 15 OR you can stop wasting time and listen to this fucking GEM.

May 28, 2010

For the past month and a half I've had the worst fucking insomnia: can't sleep until 4AM, wake up a few hours later with a horrible taste in my mouth and an even more horrible mood. Tonight it's paying off though; I was checking some of the comments and noticed that Jimi Patterson stopped by to share some music.

If Jesus Had Machine Guns is the moniker of Patterson for his bedroom recordings. "Presently the band is a foursome: Benny Jay, Chris Generas, Ross Menze, and Jimi Patterson now make hazy pop music belonging to youth culture. Currently the shows are very dreary and pyschotic full of dancing disco beats and wild outlandish synths."
Dan Barret's (of Have A Nice Life) favorite band out of CT.

The Kult Starts Here

IT IS 2010 AND I AM POSTING ALBUMS FROM SOME IRRELEVANT BAND THAT BROKE UP FOUR YEARS AGO, WHAT THE FUCK? I SHOULD BE POSTING CHILLWAVE AND LO-FI OUT OF BROOKLYN.

DAS OATH

was a New York by way of the Netherlands band featuring members of Monster X, Devoid of Faith and of course Mark McCoy from the legendary Charles Bronson. They played their own style of hardcore mixed with thrash and dare I say even powerviolence? I love this fucking band: I miss their intense live shows, the tongue in cheek humor that most hardcore bands lack today, the feedback driven guitars that sound like a combination of buzzsaws and bees in a bucket, and McCoy's half mongoloid yells. Yeah, I know Failures are around but it isn't the same as DAS OATH.

The Oath+Total Fury (2002)

Download.

"Five songs from both best bands in the world including each doing a cover of the other’s most definitive anthems (that ironically, no one can actually sing along to). Just be forewarned this is an insanely overpriced record with artwork that unquestionably sucks. The one thing that CAN be said for this is exactly what you’d tell a forty year old virgin: hurry up and just pay for it already."

Über Alles Collection (2003)

Download.
(Includes two EPs, the split with Total Fury but I posted that because the TF tracks are so damn good, an unreleased track, and some stuff from various comps.)
"This beer coaster contains all the basic requirements for your average jaded late-twenty-something hardcore listener: lame uncollectible CD format, blocked-out artwork, and plenty of feedback-laden songs about how nothing in life has any point. To reach this nihilistic conclusion, it is recommended you first buy this release."

Das Oath (2004)

Download.

Hard to believe but there was a time before Dim Mak pumped out nothing but generic retard electro.

Mini LP (2006)

Download.

"Continuing on their welcomed path to oblivion, the band's sophomore release ejected a superbly produced attack in a gatefold with all the usual tastefulness you've come to love to hate. Expanding upon their range of influences only slightly, this record contains nine tracks full of barely-contained intensity targeted at every sap who think bands are worth admiring. Thanks to their own increasingly devious attempts to thwart any lingering fans, this record cost a fortune and is impossible to find in stores. 1,000 copies on clear vinyl. First 500 sleeves with UV gloss coating."

Das Oath (2006)

Download.

"Cut to an 11" format, this screeching opus trims the fat for a full bludgeoning without all the filler. With full-color fitted sleeves and separate removable inserts, you get 7 songs in 10 minutes--- just the perfect amount of time needed to kill your parents and throw out the rest of your shitty record collection. A one time pressing of 1,000 copies released in collaboration with the highly questionable COALITION RECORDS."

Das Oath/Ampere Split

Download.

Every single song on this split is a cover.

Veins - Veins CS

Download.

Veins are a hardcore band featuring some asshole named Mark McCoy who was in a bunch of shitty poser bands that were never as good as Orchid or Saetia. Also features some dude from some shitty band called Drunkdriver. Released by some label I've never heard of before called Youth Attack.

Asterisk* - Dogma

Download.

I can't believe I forgot about this band...Asterisk* were a 3 piece out of Umeå, Sweden and one of my favorite 21st century grindcore bands. Dogma is a 41 song discography released on 31G before the band called it quits. If you're into anything that sounds like Discordance Axis, you'll like this.

RIP Dio

If you haven't heard by now, the legendary dragon slayer Ronnie James Dio lost his battle with stomach cancer this morning. A lot of people have been posting Holy Diver (which is already in the archives) but where's the Heaven And Hell love??!

Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell

Download.

Good night, sweet prince.

May 15, 2010

November Növelet is a man/woman German duo that formed in the early 90s. They started off as industrial/power electronics and have shifted more towards an ambient/dark wave sound with every release. I can't stress how GOOD this is. I like to think of it as everything I wish Cold Cave could have been.

Kvelertak - Westcoast Holocaust

Download.

What, you've never heard of KVELERTAK??? That's okay because I just found out about them yesterday, but rest assured they will be a household name by the end of 2010. Kvelertak are a Norwegian band (the name means STRANGLEHOLD) playing their own catchy brand of trashy, crusty, black metal (and I use the term very loosely), or what they like to call "necro'n'roll."
This is a 3 year old demo (tracks one and six are missing, SORRY) that I haven't even listened to, and is probably nowhere near as good as their new self-titled album is going to be. Artwork is by John Baizley (Baroness), produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge), and features a bunch of guests including Ryan McKenney (Trap Them) and the guy from JR Ewing. If that doesn't give you a raging boner for this band, you're in dire need of Viagra. Do yourself a favor and download this, go check out the new tracks here, and when everyone starts raving about this band after they get signed to Deathwish you can act like it's no big deal.

Coil - The Unreleased Themes for Hellraiser

Download.

Hellraiser is one of the highly acclaimed Clive Barker horror movies out of the 80s which spawned a bunch of bad sequels. Admittedly, I don't remember anything about this movie because I ended up having sex halfway through it. Anyway, Coil was supposed to do the soundtrack for the film, but their music was rejected because it was too scary. The band went on to release it anyway as a stand alone EP in 1987.

Grauzone - Die Sunrise Tapes

Download.

Grauzone was a Swiss band from a German speaking region, therefore they get lumped into the Neue Deutsche Welle genre. Basically new wave with minimal synths from 1982 on a 1998 compilation featuring pretty much everything they ever did. Highly recommended if you're into that whole foreign "miscellaneous" wave thing.
