V/A - Evil [Deathbomb Arc Compilation]

Diss1 drop some experimental Hip Hop down, styles ranging between a smattering of 80s production flare and Die Antwoord delivery/vibe (though with far more substance than Die could ever manage) with a little dirty electronics thrown in for good measure. The whole compilation is led off with Diss1 and their tracks poignant opening sample of A Tribe Called Quest calling "Please don't be deceived by the ugly slice of evil". Boo Hiss brings some digital punk to the table that quickly flows into Black Pus' meandering glitch piece "Beg to Blague". I found Black Pus' offering quite uninspired/boring. Viper Venom "Goosebumps" sounds like most contemporary "Hip Hop" club hits, but extremely dark and digital. For fans of ICP, Twiztid, etc. Much guttural "YAH" wowe. Black Pus follows with the very DIY punk sounding "Food is Great". The compilation continues on with some downtempo breaks smashed with harsh noise from Dreamcrusher, Rind brings much reverb drenched kvlt, Sissy Cobb offers up some pretty straight forward harsh noise (with a little experimentation) on "Hounds"...... the real stand outs on this album are Diss1 and Signor Benedick the Moor (prod. Brrrapture) with their own fairly original takes on Hip Hop, ParallaxScroll with their endearing IDM fair, and Grypt with their well produced kvlt outing. Much of this album didn't really impress me. There are some good points like I mentioned but a lot of it felt uninspired or perhaps juvenile. Juvenile in the way that these projects are still in their relative infancy still trying to develop themselves. Or perhaps some of the material just came across trendy to me? I've heard this has been getting alot of press... I'm starting to wonder why. Regardless, the compilation is for a good cause and there are some stand outs that are definitely worth checking out. The cover was just black, so I decided to choose a better image for this post.

This is what Deathbomb Arc had to say about the release:

Benefit compilation for the anti-debt charity Rolling Jubilee rollingjubilee.org - 100% of money donated for downloads will be given to Rolling Jubilee.

Acts were asked to write songs about evil in whatever form they wished, from the specific to the abstract; from the cartoonish to the most horrible and real. Here at Deathbomb Arc, we consider economic systems designed to keep the majority of people in debt the most evil of all.

For even more information, we highly recommend you read the book 'Debt' by David Graeber.

Heartless - "Certain Death"

I was fortunate enough to win a prize pack of this release on clear, black, and test press 7" and am thrilled to let you all know you can have at least a digital version for free for yourself. You should throw them some dollars if you can, but throw some horns up to for nothing at bare minimum. Heartless on Halo Of Flies with some gnarly grindy hardcore shit that is angry and relentless. Fucking pummeling and brutal. Incredible.

The New Noise - "Volume 1 / Volume 2"

The New Noise is an Italian web zine focusing on experimental and noisy music, usually of the metal and extreme/experimental electronic variety. They have two volumes of a compilation available which they compiled, one is more psychedelic and electronic focused and one is more metal/punk/etc focused. Both are really great and serve as a sonic connect the dots of leftfield underground music, mostly rooted in Italy or via the Italian entity that is The New Noise. If you have a few hours to kill, get both compilations and cue them em up back to back and beginning to end. It's a great fucking experience.

Jungbluth - "S/T Tape"

It's not in my nature to lie to the people about the music, so I'm not gonna start now. How I happened upon this release, I have no clue. What happens is, I spend about one night a week just downloading a shit ton of music from numerous and various sources, then I spend the following week (attempting to) going through it when I've time. This has left me with a HUGE (and ever increasing) folder of new music and an impossible way to discern where I got what from. So, when I cue something up, I give it a few minutes and either continue listening because I dig it or shitcan it because I don't. If I dig it, I go looking for more info to see if I can buy it, if I can post it, and in both cases I look for as much information about the artist and release as possible. Fun life, eh? And that's just what I do with my free time.

Anyhow, Jungbluth's self titled tape was something I happened upon and from about 3 seconds in knew that I was gonna love. I was right. When I went looking for info on these guys, I read a lot of reference to "screamo" as a genre - a genre that I 99.9% of the time cannot stand. Give it up for Jungbluth being part of the .01%! But, as you might expect from myself and Magicore, it's never that black and white. Jungbluth craft a ridiculous blend of, as mentioned, "screamo", but it is far beyond that. Oldschool punk rock, screamo, post/progressive metal tendencies, hardcore, and much more are all swirling in this sonic maelstrom - and this self title tape is hugely enjoyable and recommended if even a small fraction of anything mentioned thusfar is something you're even remotely into, guaranteed.

So. Go get a tape if you can. If not, definitely get a download.

Yautja - "2011"

About only nine minutes of absolutely brutal dark hardcore metal music from Nashville courtesy of Yautja, originally available on cassette - but long since sold out - from the uber-rad Tapes Of A Neon God label. Short, sweet, and devastating. Grab the rest of the releases, too.

Heil - "Demo II"

More black metal infused punk from California's Heil. Raw and gritty and more black metal than punk, but just by a little. Somehow manages to work well for both punk and black metal purists at the same time.

Low To The Earth - "Into The Ground"

Black metal, sludge, and punk rock bang heads and mix blood on this joint from Low To The Earth. Real good shit from a band I know nothing about and didn't bother to Google before posting. Enjoy!

Father Ignorant - "Demo 2011"

Father Ignorant plays a really nice and reminiscent blend of classic sometimes bluesy and often times psychedelic gothic tinged proto-post-punk - if that's even a thing. Snotty as all hell. Real good.

Ironhorse - "Dragged Down A Dead End Path"

Grindy hardcore punk from Salt Lake City's Ironhorse. Aggressive and relentless, as well as boasting ridiculous pointillistic hand draw cover art. Blare this one as loud as possible when you've had that shitty day we all run into now and again.

SYPHLUST - "Fuck You Bruce Willis"

As if the dude behind James Doesn't Exist et al isn't prolific enough already, he basically finishes off and rounds out the band called Syphlust, cited as a guest on each individual track and the album as a whole. Following the trend of all Nikolai Gawin related output, this shit is incredible. He, along with two other rude dudes, craft some really over the top brutally awesome noisy grindy chaotic mathy hardcore. Check the shit out. I mean, if you think you can handle it, anyhow. Torn Flesh Records strikes again.

Faith Addiction - "Order From Chaos"

I lamented about the end of Cellgraft back here, and then the guy behind No Reprieve Records just hit me up about this band Faith Addiction, which is 2/3 Cellgraft. So, you know, this shit is pretty awesome. Heavy grind, hardcore punk, sludgy noise, death thrash.

Black Pus - Pus Mortem

Lightning Bolt drummer Brian Chippendale spews forth 8 gooey, murkified jam-a-lams perfect for those craving a noise enema and/or fresh breakbeats to groove and grind to. Spastic breaks, crunchy bass waves, and vocals that sound like they came from the bottom of a noise mans pedal box all characterize Black Pus' sound. A few of the tracks devolve into stoney psychedelic fuzz and loop fests. Perfect jams to help you space out and endure the last gasps of summers heat offensive.

The Un-Zen - The ultimate Violatör

The Un-zen is a side project of the awesome The Captain Kirk on LSD Experience. The Un-zen shares some similarities with TCKOLE but contains enough differences to make it stand out as its own project. Far darker and lacking in the many ravey and chiptune sounds that TCKOLE is very much defined by. The tracks are shorter most just under two minutes, giving it a very punk rock feel, which is punctuated by the driving few note synths/leads. Even the vocals feel more aggressive in their own throat wrenching way. Chug a few shitty beers and mosh in your bedroom!
