I can’t even express how much I missed some relentless d-beat/hardcore punk music. It’s been a while since I listened to or even wrote an article about some fast, aggressive, loud music, so finally, I got a chance to do it. This interesting 7″ record popped up in my mailbox recently, and it’s not like… Read More Frustrerad – The Truth In Lies 7″
Back in the pre-digital era, various artists’ compilations and samplers acted as the crucial source for discovering fresh music. It was a convenient way to promote the latest singles, announce albums or introduce brand new artists/bands to the broader auditorium. Then the digital era commenced, and digital singles replaced regular 7″ records, compilations, and samplers.… Read More V/A – Grazil Records & Friends Vol. 1. (Grazil Records)
Yesterday, I introduced Songs Of Love In The Age Of Anarchy, a picture 12″ vinyl record by Desolat.

If you caught my recent post about this Austrian sludge machinery, you already know what… Read More Desolat – Shareholder Of Shit 10″ EP (Bloodshed666 Records)

Today, I am digging into the darkest depths of Geenger Records archives. This particular recording was one of their initial releases back in 2010, first in pipeline to be more precise.

Feinted is an abrasive Italian d-beat hardcore group emanating from Milan. The group is lurking around the scene, but it keeps a low profile as much as possible. There’s a lack of information about group activities, and it seems that the Feinted is popping up sporadically with new releases. Since their formation, Feinted released a… Read More Feinted – Annihilation CS (Home Mort Records)

It’s been a while since Bitten By A Cobra has released a physical release.

Judging by the cover… Read More HYLE – Weapons I’ve Earned LP (Various Labels)
