Tremors - S/T Demo Tape (2011)

Yess, this is pure fuckin’ hardcore that is tasty and full of old school as you want. London’s Tremors play aggressive, vicious and fast-paced hardcore, ready for jumping from the window! This is their self-titled demo tape, including ripper 6 tracks to shake your brain. Think old school American hardcore such as Minor Threat, SSD, Black Flag, Youth Of Today, Gorilla Biscuits. Especially these guys make the noise in the way of legendary youth crew era. Some tracks such as “No Comment”, “Addicted To Failure” have excellent guitar parts with engaging attractive riffs. The speed don’t cease and attractive melodic sections are causing you to lose yourself. Real hardcore feast of 8-9 minutes if you look for some old-fashioned stuff. Tremors hit a strong crochet to your face with their first recording yet.

Skitkids - Besöket Vid Krubban (2007)

I'd think the Marshall (Lemmy) tasted his Jack Daniels as daily, and he took his crew and said that “come on guys we’re recording a Crust album!” however he included Poffen (Totalitar) for vocals, and they entered the studio suddenly. You can think what this guy is telling us. But the extremely rock’n’roll/crust dose of Skitkids causes this thought. With the great dose of adrenaline and hatred, you’ll be offered by a razor-sharp, fast, loud, funny record which is the combination of rock and roll, crustcore d-beat, thrash metal these guys performed. The vocals are reminiscent of Swedish hardcore legends Totalitar with old-styled angry screams and screeches. Great toned drum makes d-beat assault, it has powerful sound, the bass is groaning, melodic rock’n’roll leads and Fast Eddie-like guitar solos cause to lose yourself. The lyrics are based to socio-political issues with sarcastic expressions, the routine life of society, banal ideas, or criticize the punk stars of today. Classic Swedish D-Beat/Hardcore 's rock'n'roll excellence is in your blood with a high dose. Motorhead, AC/DC structured rock’n’roll solos in "Weekday Suger Rov" (like listening to Ace Of Spades) is cool, and tracks such as "Viist E Jag Lycklig", "Svinahunden" bomb you with Totalitar d-beats. Skitkids make noise for you, this is one of the best crust/rock 'n'roll records in recent years.

Conga Fury - Never Die (2008)

I wonder the mental hospital those Japanese guys came out. Intense fast, staggering and chaotic Japanese thrashpunx agression with screeching bitchy vocals. Noisecore or thrashcore, describe this how do you want, Kochi City’s Conga Fury is one of the fastest hardcore/powerviolence band in new generation. 22-track LP was released in 2008 by Six Weeks, “Never Dies” has scratchy guitar sound is extremely low-fi, totally destructive riffs at light speed, in addition to fastest drumming there are sometimes d-beat sections, and the sudden appearance of gang vocals as chorus in many parts, the result we face with a band that does not slow down the even for 1 second. They really kick the listener’s ass with their unrelenting destruction noise completely, and their passion about anime artwork seems again in this record. Maybe Japan has not seen such a fastest band that has also a screw loose. If you already follow the underground market of this country then you know how they’re important for extreme hardcore scene.

We're inspired by bands like Doom, Totalitär, Warsore, Ekkaia, Anti-Cimex and Crass. Our lyrics are very political.

What happened on july 2nd, 1993?

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."

After lengthy court proceedings, the State Security Court sentenced 33 people to death on 28 November 1997 for their roles in the massacre; 31 of these sentences were upheld in a 2001 appeal. When Turkey overturned the death penalty just over a year later in 2002, the sentences were commuted to life in prison.

Just like any other right wing or islamist attack, the police, army and the firemen DID NOTHING! They just watched the incidents calmly.

What really disgusts me is; that the hotel's grounds floor was a MEAT RESTAURANT for years. 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;

• Muhibe Akarsu - 35 years old, Muhlis Akarsu''s wife
• Muhlis Akarsu - 45 years old, bağlama (traditional turkish instrument) artist
• Gülender Akça - 25 years old

• Serpil Canik - 19 years old
• Muammer Çiçek - 26 years old, actor
• Nesimi Çimen - 67 years old, poet, 3 wired cura virtuose (traditional turkish instrument)
• Carina Cuanna - 23 years old, Dutch journalist
• Serkan Doğan - 19 years old
• Hasret Gültekin - 23 years old poet, creator of the "şelpe" (a way to play the bağlama) technique

Sinat Hinam - st

I came across to this band on Giora's FTP blog a few weeks ago. It's a great blog full of israeli hc punk, crust, grind, powerviolence, thrash, punk rock stuff, you can find almost any band from israel in there. Now done with the advertisement.

שנאת חינם (Sinat Hinam / Hatred) is a metal influenced crust band from Israel. Formed around '05 and split up around '08, if i'm not mistaken. This cd is released in '07, includes 7 songs and is around 25 minutes. All the songs are in hebrew, which is a huge plus for the band in my opinion. Bands who sing in their native language have always been more interesting. Their music is far from punk but mostly crust metal, especially the guitars and the vocals are heavily black metal influenced, like some other stenchcore bands, but the music is not as "swampy" as stenchcore. Some of the influences of the band are; "Axegrinder, Amebix, Wretched, Nerorgasmo, Dir Yassin, Napalm Death, D.S.-13, Motörhead, Hellshock, etc". The band members describe their music as "a neandertalic caveman crushing the angel of death's head on the ruins of the jewish temple in jerusalem".

The explain that by: "The idea of playing improvised crust we got from the crappy bands, which made us think if it's possible to create better songs than they have just by playing whatever riffs comes first in mind, shouting whatever comes to our mind. So we tried and got some stuff recorded. And it was hell of a fun!" The demo is released on Attack To Society Distro, i believe there are still some copies and you can get for a nice price.
