Nux Vomica is a Crust / Death Metal band from Baltimore / USA. They are formed in late '03. The band members are involved in so many bands but i feel lazy to write them down, check their myspace page for more info. I can describe their music as "At The Gates meets From Ashes Rise". Now let me describe it for the people who don't know both bands, it's something in between gothenburg death metal and melodic crust.

The band is formed in Örebro / Sweden, in '94 with the idea to get drunk, have fun and show some respect to bands like; Discharge, Motörhead, Misfits. Mieszko (rest in pieces) used to play in the band too. They play the drunk and full speed crust'n'roll.
Panzerschreck is a crust'n'roll band from Sweden. If i'm not wrong some members also play in Gadget. I guess this demo is their only released material and it is released in '06. They are influenced by bands like; Driller Killer, Martyrdöd, Anti-Cimex, Motörhead, Genocide Superstars and such. It says 56 kbps but the sound quality is equal to 320 kbps, i don't know why but the software i use to rip my audio cds is acting weird. Don't let the low mb fool you, they are heavy and great.

Avskum is a d-beat crust band from Sweden. Formed in '82 but they haven't been around much between '84 and '97. They play the "swedish dis-core" which we know pretty well. Let me explain for those who are not familiar with the term, that is classical swedish hardcore mixed with some discharge style raw anger. Lyrics are usually about nuclear war and capitalism, i know it sounds cliché but it is not. This record is released in '00 and it is one of the best crust releases of the millenium.

It is the 2nd of July today, the anniversary of The Sivas Massacre (Sivas Katliamı). In Madımak Hotel, 37 people were burnt to death by radical islamists and facists. Intellectuals have gathered there to celebrate Pir Sultan Abdal's (a 16th century Alevi poet) festival.
The facists and islamists attacked after the moslem's friday prayers. Almost 20,000 of them first marched to the culture center, where the activities took place. They destroyed the monument which was just opened to public view a day ago. Then they marched to the hotel, they broke through the police barriers and surrounded the hotel. The main reason for the islamists and facists being there is to lynch Aziz Nesin, because he's translated Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" at that time. They set the hotel on fire and 37 people including musicians, poets, writers, tourists and hotel staff died. 51 people including Aziz Nesin managed to escape with heavy wounds. When he was recognized, he was beaten by a fireman and a city councilman shouted, "This is the devil we should have really killed."
What really disgusts me is; that the hotel's grounds floor is a MEAT RESTAURANT now. Which is really sickening and nauseous. So many petitions were given to municipality and the parliament to make the hotel a museum but the politicians never took these seriously.
The victims are;
