MISERY.

A nice collection of abrasive and raw "true crust" from these legendary-and-still-going-strong-after-twenty-years Minneapolis dirtbags (and I mean that, respectfully)...

D/L Misery - The Early Years, Pt. I right here.
D/L Misery - The Early Years, Pt. II right here.

BRAIN DRILL.

I'm sure I have used the word "shred" to describe at least a few of my posts, but let me tell you this - nothing I have posted before shreds like this...

Mind-melting ultra-mega technical death/grind calisthenics going on here, without sounding like they are just trying to be the fastest band alive. They are also looking for a new drummer at this point so if you think you got skills thick enough, holler...

D/L Brain Drill - Apocalyptic Feasting right here.

(I just installed a fuckload of new brushes in my Photoshop application, so be prepared for overkill from here on out).

Now playing: Rammer - From Russia ...

ISKRA.

Awesomely ass-kicking "blackened crust" from our neighbors to the north (if you live in the States, that is). On this laid-back Nor-Cal Friday evening may I present to you - for your ear-shredding delight - Iskra!

D/L Iskra - Iskra right here.

Now playing: Brain Drill - The Depths Of Darkness

FANG.

Hard-to-find record from these East Bay Heathen Scum hardcore heavyweights.
Not quite as raw (hardcore) as their previous releases, but still this is a pretty decent album.
The drug (ab)use as well as the collective unstable psyche of band personnel at the time is laid bare for all to see, essentially...

D/L Fang - Spun Helga right here.

Now playing: Rattus - Raiskaus

LONG PIG.

Some solid grindy-death stuff that is Hungarian in origin.
Wish I could tell you more about these guys, but there ain't a whole lot of info on them that I could find.
I will tell you that - like most everything else you find here - it fucking kicks some ass in the brutality department...

D/L Long Pig - Barren right here.




Now playing: Raid - Conveniense
