Eskorbuto means "scurvy" in english. Their lyrics are mostly socio-politic and about the conflict between basque and spain, they criticize both sides. "Rock does not have a mother country, not even the Basque". Two of the members died of heroin. Those fuckin junkies made great music, even though i hate junkies.

Egohine & Daily O.D. Split CD

Both bands are from France. The split cd is released in 2008. Daily O.D. plays anarcho hardcore punk / crust with some melodic and emotional influences with male / female vocals. They played a show in istanbul about a month ago which was amazing. And Egohine plays that thing called as the "emocrust". Which is also really good. It is worth a shot for the crusties with glasses. Or the hardcore kids who don't have skateboard shoes. Or the punks who don't have mohawks.

Axegrinder - Rise Of The Serpent Men

Axegrinder is from England, which was active through '86 to '91. They play metallic dark crust. As we call it "stenchcore", they are one of the invertors of this genre with Amebix. And as you can see while listening to the album, there is a huge Amebix worship. Which is not bad in any way or can be considered as a rip-off. Which is just total respect to the masters. This LP is released in '88 and it's quite catchy.

Reign Of Bombs & Arcatera Split 7"

Both bands are from the mighty punkland Sweden. Reign of Bombs play amazing d-beat crust'n'roll. Most people define them as "Discharge meets Motörhead", which is true in a way. But not that great for sure haha. And Arcatera plays the modern melodic, depressive yet angry crust with shrieky and growling vocals. Both bands are great, you can find the 7" for a fair price from some european distros i guess. At least i found one from a friend of mine.

The Plague Mass - Visitation

Medication Time!
I've wrote these lines for their Deathless EP; "The Plague Mass is a metalcore band from Austria. Although their music is metalcore, they describe themselves as "hardcore punk" which is true in a way, with their political thoughts and diy ethics. And they don't play boring metalcore either. There are some neo-crust moments in the songs". Read the lyrics, lose control to the music, this release is just great.

Gas - The Day After

Female fronted japanese hardcore punk classic. And it's their best release. Japan + Hardcore Punk + Female Vocals + 80's = True Classic.

Additional info by !+|Nyarlathotep|+! from soulseek; "Gas recorded one flexi, two eps, one lp, and a split with nikudan. I think last year some japanese label released their flexi, first ep, and some live tracks on lp and cd so depending how much you like GAS, you can still find the lp/cd around the net.

Gauze - Equalizing Distort 12''

A classic from the 80's japanese hardcore punk scene. Gauze is one of the first hardcore bands in Japan, formed in '81. This 12" is released in '86 and it's the 2nd release of the band. Before these two they took place in some compilations. And I believe this is their best stuff ever. Even though the lyrics are a bit weird. But that's ok, all japanese bands have strange lyrics. We all learnt to live through that heh. All of their records are intense actually. Even though they seem to hate vegetarians (which can be seen when you read the lyrics of Crash The Pose) i still like the sound of them.

Check out KFTH page for more info, and you can find the translated lyrics for this 12" too.

Murder - Back To Hell

Murder is a crust band from Ukraine. There are some d-beat and grindcore influences in this album. Sounds like a primitive version of Disrupt. No melodies included, just fast and angry shouting heh. Lyrics are simple and short like the way it should be. But i don't understand some of their lyrics, "High Youth", wtf does that mean haha? Like many other d-beat crust bands they have "anti dis-clone" lyrics in the song "Clone The Cloned Clowns".

You’re so scared
To piss off the ethic!
You’re so typical
And this is so pathetic!
