Cro-Mags - Live In Germany 1991, 2016 File FLAC Unofficial Release x 12      Church Of Zer - Zer4 Let us start 2016 with a classic among classics. In 2015 we hailed the Atheist legacy, today we dive into full Krishna worship. Cro-Mags are the zero-default band that has banged my head for exactly 30 years. I find not a single bad song on the entire discography. Only killer riffs, amazing build-ups, so welcome metal influences and superior vocalization (from both skinheads). Yes, Alpha Omega is a perfection of metalized melodic groove thrash. Yes, NDE is a marvel of recycling of the Best Wishes axioms and yes, Revenge, which features Rocky George from ST, is a killer recycling of the Age Of Quarrel formula, even the NoFx sections are great (BTW the songs of the White Devil MCD are all featured on Revenge). Cro-Mags innovated the tough guy hardcore sound, they were heavier than Agnostic Front and Warzone. From this era, style and city, only Crumbsuckers impressed me as much as Cro-Mags. I have been a non-stop Cro-Mags fan forever. Time I am. Their live performances were awesome, until some other versions of the band surfaced in the late 90s (I was disappointed by the Leeway-backed/Joseph fronted one). I don't care about the Krishna bullshit anymore that I care about the Jah or Satan or working-class-revenge feebleness of other bands. If I had to care about lyrics, I would have to throw away at least 6530 albums from my shelves. Cro-Mags are firmly set in the EZTT among Bad Brains, Slayer, Victims Family, Raven, Celtic Frost, MDC and the other eternal immortal heroes. Happy new 2016. Amen. Remove brackets and unzip: [the ozer side of zerness] !ZER Cro-Mags, White Devil ZER! PS: I wanted to do a Pneuma Hagion post this week. This is some killer heavy death metal, with those sewer vocals and straight forward pummeling riffs from the 90s. It's generic but fucking great. However they sell their music for $1 per EP, which I consider a more than fair price (compared to the stupid $10 some bands or labels sell digital albums - at this price, I want a CD). Therefore I won't post the PH stuff here and encourage all fans of the dark side to click and spend $3 for 9 songs. You pay for a cellphone, you can afford it. Speaking of the dark side, I accompanied a bunch of nieces and daughters to the movies to watch the Star Wars disaster. It's a disaster. It does not even look great. It's a bad rehash of the first movie (which I liked when it came out, but I was 8), but  a lot more cretin, it's an astonishing achievement in stupidity. I'll never understand why this shit franchise is supposed to be classic, why anyone should find any philosophy/"societal commentary" in there or why the fuck anyone above the age of 8 would want to watch any of those movies 11 times. What reassures me is that among the kids I went with, not one over 9 liked it. Fuck Star Wars, double-fuck the posers who write essays about it, triple-fuck the media who make it look like profound art. Quadruple-fuck modern art. Listen to Howls Of Ebb. Amen.

So upon request, here is most of their discography, just enjoy the biggest smoking hot metallic hardcore legend on the planet! ZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CD rip. Germany 94, Montreal 98 & 2000 ZERRR!!!! And my heaviest snot and juiciest nose-picks go to the young ignorant douches who left after the shitty Earth Crisis set when boring EC opened for Cro-Mags a decade ago, fuck, shit, ah. To witness a club go empty just before the Cro-Mags set, thats is some surreal unzer. Vegan baggy pants bitches, you will never be forgiven.

White Devil - reincarnation

White Devil - reincarnation, USA 1995 This is probably the most useless post on this blog since the 5 songs on this mcd are also featured on the last Cro-Mags album "revenge" from 2000 (the one with the Suicidal Tendencies guitar hero), as White Devil == Cro-Mags. Should I post the Cro-Mags discography ? Anyway this is high class metallic hardcore full of melodies and groove, exactly like Cro-Mags! CRO-ZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! CD rip.
