Comadre/Trainwreck-Split


Comadre/Trainwreck-Split Lp
This may be my favorite record I heard in 2009. Comadre is amazing SCRAM/Post Hardcore with high vocals and great melodic parts from San Francisco. Hailing from Germany, Trainwreck is Heavier and much darker.Every song on this Lp is good but when I make this statement I am mainly thinking about Comadre's Contribution. The thing I love most about Comadre is the great production and song structure. This isn't just a thrown together song this is a well thought out piece of hardcore music(Not to say there's anything wrong with just throwing it together).

Animosity-Shut it Down

Animosity-Shut It Down

This album makes me want to move anytime I hear it. This is Animosity's debut album. It was pressed when some of them were only sixteen. Too me this album compares to nothing else by them. It is "Deathcore" but I'd prefer to say grindcore with high vocals and sick ass breakdowns constantly. I saw this band open for Terror in 2006 the band had blown bowls with their name in them. This band is from San Francisco and broke up this year after three other full lengths, none reaching anywhere close to the amazement of this one. Even if your not a big fan of grind, I'd give this a listen its about as good as early magrudergrind which is about the best grind out there.

Crow-Bloody Tear

Crow-Bloody Tear Lp
This record was released by Prank in 2006. The opening track may be my favorite, opening with and epic reign of terror. Although this band has been around since the late 80's they have evolved into something better formed and more catastrophic. This Lp blew me away when I first got it.You can definitely see the metal influence in this then in their earlier releases. One of the members of the band in the Lp's poster is wearing a Darkthrone shirt which made me smile since you can see the influence if you listen (Ihave been listening to a lot of Darkthrone in the past month). This album gets extremely epic at parts such as in "And The Death is singing the Wind". If you decide to get the Lp the lyrics are printed in both English and Japanese. So expect an Epic Japanese crust band with strong metal influence. This album is worth the listen.

Black Metal Albums To Own.

I've been listening to a massive amount of black metal lately. It is extremely intriguing, with it's lyrics and Low Fi dedication. Lo Fi is an amazing aspect to have in any type of music. It immediately generates a DIY ethic and to me keeps it true in a way.
So below I've given some of my favorites.









Havohej-Dethrone the Son of God
This is considered a cult classic. It was put out by one guy in 1993 out of Conneticut. The bands name is jehovah backwards if you didn't notice. Expect songs about vomiting on god's dead child. This shit is klvt as fuck. Get down to it.







Watain-Casus Luciferi
I'm hoping to see these guys in may at Deathfest in baltimore. They are from Sweden and the album is there second Lp put out in 2003.





Darkthrone-Transilvanian Hunger
Darkthrone is getting a bit more on the crust side of things now. This is one of there first albums from '94. Darkthrone is two guys from Norway keeping black Metal true.






Hell Militia-Canonization Of The Foul Spirit
Hell Militia is a Black Metal band that formed in 2001 out of France. This is their first LP and is extremely good for a modern Black Metal band.





Black Funeral-Waters of Weeping
This is an extremely dark band out of Indiana. They are on the more ambient side of things with lots of great distortion. This is the black Funeral's latest Lp from 2007 and my favorite form all that I've heard. Expect an amazing atmosphere with the music.
