Request: INITIAL STATE.

Here's some old-school despair-ridden crusty/blasty/noisy hardcore via request for Riffin.
I had to do a bit of digging around on Soulseek, but I found it.
There's like zero web presence for these guys, so no "cool band shot" this time around.

(I forgot how good this record is)...

D/L Initial State - Abort the Soul right here.

----------------
Now playing: Only Living Witness - Complex Man

RAMMER.

Blisteringly fucking raging maniacly bad-ass speedy death-thrash from the Great White North, I present to you RAMMER!
Hard to fucking beat, and there's nothing "ironic" or "revival" about the thrash racket these guys make...

D/L Rammer - Cancer right here.

DYSTOPIA.

A request for PJ over at Excess Zine, here's yet another great record by one of my favorites - Dystopia.
I think I've posted more by these East Bay scuzz-lords than any other band featured here on L-R V...

D/L Dystopia - Human = Garbage right here.

I got a rip of the new record they just released, but one of the tracks is fucked up - I've seen like 4 or 5 blogs who have posted this flawed version as well - so I figured NOT to post the new one until I get a clean copy.




----------------
Now playing: Breathing Fire - Diet333

EFFIGY / HELLSHOCK.

Perfect for a rainy winter day in San Francisco, here's a killer spilt featuring Hellshock - there's Tragedy guys in this one, duh - but for my money the band to beat here is Effigy from Japan who play some bitchin' metallic crust kind of thing.
I need to get more from them for sure...

D/L Hellshock / Effigy - Split right here.

Re-Up: DEATH STRIKE.

As per Anonymous' request - NEXT TIME LEAVE A NAME, BUDDY - I have re-upped Death Strike - Fuckin' Death, so go get this classic piece of thrashy death!

The weather is shitty out today, and I should be at work but the flu has me down.
Going back to the couch now...
