No New Post?

Time is short...

I am pretty shocked with the passing of Chris Benoit. RIP man. Have fun with Eddie down there in hell. You're too good for heaven. RIP to that dude in DISCLOSE as well. A lot of people will be missing you.

Well not everything is looking grim.

Cactus Was invited me to be part of his zine projects. I am definitely looking forward for that. More about this some other time. Oh yeah, just in case you don't know yet, Darkthrone will release a new album out later this year. What! you're too scared to listen to some "black metal"? Well there is always them Fall Out Boy you can enjoy yourself to. Go here and listen to some sample from the upcoming Darkthrone album. Yes it is not Transilvanian Hunger but it is not such a big surprise right?

My friend xArwithx is in Europe right now getting laid with lots of European girls. Have fun you bastard! And thanks for that Second Combat CD.

That's all for now.

Enjoy this...

Napalm Death In Malaysia?

So will Napalm Death be coming to Malaysia this September?

Rumors are ripe about them doing a show; there are also rumors about Extreme Noise Terror coming here as well later this year.

Will the “moral guardians” prevent this? We all know how it all went down with Mayhem and the last thing I want to hear from all this is some retards calling Napalm Death a Black Metal band and prevent this from happenings. I am pretty upset that Sodom skip Malaysia for Thailand and Indonesia and I am not looking forward for this not to happen.

Although I just don’t care about the current Napalm Death (the last “new” album I heard from them was Enemy of The Music Business album and that was released like five years ago.) I still have fond memories about the old Napalm Death and regard them at that point in time as the finest grindcore band of all time. Albums like Scum and the Peel Sessions are definitely in my all time top ten favorite grindcore albums along with albums like World Downfall, Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses and The Inalienable Dreamless.

I missed Napalm Death when they were here a few years back. Did I regret it? No, Napalm Death weren’t at their peak and the show was organized by someone notorious for questionable “business” dealings. Being somewhat “idealistic” at that time, I would rather have my testicles removed than being caught dead at that show. Will I go this time around? Most probably. Will I regret doing that? You kidding me? I have “sold out” and would rather see the show than have my testicles removed, beside all those “soft” rock shit that we are having round here for the last few months don’t really cut it for me.

Anyway here are some reminders of the awesomeness of Napalm Death.

You're Not Old School, You're Just Old

I recently posted this awesome zine archive not too long ago. Reading some of the old issues of Heartattack (HaC) that I couldn’t get my hand upon (back in the days) really brings back some memories. I remember first reading about it in Joe Kid’s Blasting Concept column back in probably 1996 or 1997. It has been a long time. I think I still have my first issue of HaC somewhere at my parent’s house; it is the one where they interviewed His Hero Is Gone. I think I bought it from ASAS distro. ASAS Distro were the shit back then.

I don’t really remember whether HaC was one of my favorite zine but I sure lost interest in them not too long before they called it a day and I don’t think it is because they were too “emo” for my liking. I didn’t even bother to check out the new zine that some of the HaC crew is doing.

Reading all those back issues also make me to go and check out some old bands that I never got the chance to check out when they were around and were at their prime. Downcast and Luzifers Mob were two of those bands that I totally missed out back then. Coincidently enough, this blog and this blog recently posted something about Downcast and Luzifers Mob. It really make you love the Internet even more.

And those back issues don’t only make me realize that I am old and should have dropped this a long time ago, but it also make me realize about some of the changes in the hardcore scene in the last ten years. You know back in the days hardcore was pretty much an “exclusive club” and you pretty much need to embrace it before you are a part of it. Nowadays, everyone from their aunt to their dentist is hardcore thanks to Myspace and “hardcore” bands that are more content on rocking out than doing anything else.

Times are indeed changing.

Pelican's Pre-Order...

Thumbs up to Hydrahead & Pelican for thinking of new ways to have people buy their stuffs (instead of downloading it from the internet). This pre-order deal will definitely go down well with all the Pelican’s die-hard.

Dude 1: “Dude how do you like my new Pelican’s hoodie?”

Dude 2: “Sweet man”

Dude 1: “You ain’t see nothing yet”

Dude 2: “Really?”

Dude 1: “Yeah, check this out”

Dude 1 unzipped his pants and shows his new Pelican undies to the amazement of Dude 2

Dude 2: “Holy fuck dude, you got a…”

Dude 1: “Yeah, am I cool or what? I am going to show this to all our friends, this is going to be awesome!”

Dude 2: “Fuck yeah man, ain’t nothing cooler than that”

...I just hope the new album is good.

Disclose "signs" with Suffering Jesus

We are very excited to be able to inform our fans and customers that Japan's 20 year D-Beat veterans Disclose have teamed up with Suffering Jesus for a couple of projects though the details of what these projects will be is not entirely clear at this point in time. Perhaps a couple of split albums and a compilation of previously released 7" material though nothing concrete as of yet.

Disclose and a metal label? Weird if you ask me...

This is long overdue. I recently got the chance to check them out playing a show and I must say that this is one of those new bands that everyone should check out. No demo yet but they do plan to release something somewhere in the middle of this year before they embark on their Indonesian Tour. Oh, they don’t have Myspace either (hahaha you Myspace scenester!), but they do have their own blog here. If you dig some sinister and heavy hardcore with some doom and sludge thrown in every now and then, then you should give them a try.

Be warned that the music ain’t pretty at all and you cannot score any girls/boys by name dropping them in any conversation.

You can also check some clip on Youtube here. Enjoy!

What do they call this music anyway? Is it dark crust? Or is it Nu-crust? Or Neo-crust? Well I don’t really care what they are calling the music that this disciple of HHIG/FAR/TRAGEDY/ WOLFBRIGADE is doing because it doesn’t concern me at all. The most important thing of all is this CD rocks and I am fucking grateful to feast my ear with such awesomeness. If you are familiar with the bands that I just name- dropped (for the scene points nonetheless) you can probably imagine how they sound like. This CD packs so much venom and bile you probably don’t need to listen to other bands that worship at the altar of HHIG and Tragedy. And I am not kidding about that.

The best thing about this CD is that it only last for approximately 23 minutes. Every hardcore band should take note of this and never made a mistake of releasing something more than half an hour long. You know the last Fucked Up records would be something if it just this long instead of going on and on for almost an hour. What so punk rock about aping the fucking prog-rock scene? Leave that prog-rock worship to bands like Neurosis. Punk bands should stick to what it knows best and make it short, sweet and simple… and oh listen to black metal too. Yeah you be surprised on how many sweet riffs you can lift from some obscure black metal bands and use it in your band. You can thank me later on that.

For those who are making tomorrow a better world, nothing beats having this as the soundtrack for you to destroy everything and starts all over again.
