Chest Pain - s/t 7"

Just some more killer powerviolence.

Jungbluth - s/t tape

Turns out the "hype," such as it is, is well founded on this one. Member(s?) of Alpinist I guess, kinda jangly, kinda epic, vaguely post but still heavy and aggressive punk and hardcore. Named after a German communist and antifascist.

Iron Lung - Sexless//No Sex

Aw yeah mmhmm.

Shining - Redefining Darkness

Primal, bestial black metal this is not. Clean vocals, extended quieter sections, horns, there's a definite gothic element to all this. These guys show off black metal's classier side.

Death Toll 80k - Harsh Realities

This band and record need more love always.

Crusades - The Sun is Down and The Night is Riding In

You might guess that pop punk is not in regular rotation for me, but this here is some catchy and energetic stuff without being too melodic or saccharine.

iamdisease - iamdisease

Crusty, metallic hardcore with a bit of sludge and d-beat for good measure.

Capitalist Casualties - 1996-1999 Years in Ruin

Listen to this instead of voting today.

Young And In The Way - Amen

Something you probably already have, and definitely should if you don't.

Look Back and Laugh - 2nd LP

Pretty much everything you could want from a thrashy punk band.
