Excess-Labour-Death

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.

I Grind, Pt 2: Damage Digital.... again!

Oh well, I found this link somewhere and think that it will be awesome to share it to anyone else out there who dig some awesome grindcore. They are from Japan and I think it is unfortunate that not that many people talk about them. Check them out for yourself and let me know what you think about it. Damage Digital rules!

Drunk Fucks Spending Loud Nights - Cluster Bomb Unit In KL!

Alright, Cluster Bomb Unit from Germany is making a stop here in KL for a show. From the looks of it this should be an awesome show for all punks, grinders and thrashers. I will be there... but only if I don't have any Open House invitation on that day. Makan free ma, saper tak mau! Damn, I should start listening to some CBU now.

Who said hardcore kids doesn’t have any sense of humor? This video surely cracks me up when I saw it for the first time. I heart Hardcore Dancing.

A little update

Hey have you checked out 7Inchpunk recently? They just got some nice Swedish hardcore punk goodies for you to download and enjoy (and share with your friends). Go there and have fun.

There are no Purple Haze here Jimi...

Haven’t had much to update lately, the haze have really kill whatever inspiration I had for writing. I really hate the haze and I am getting sick of having to go through this every year. Man, the thought of going to Europe at this time of the year next year seems appealing to me right now.

I am listening to the new Converge that had leaked a few weeks ago. I think it is a good continuation from the last two previous albums. It is heavy and intense and it is nowhere near a let down unlike the new album by ISIS. At least it has not been a total disappointment for me in terms of new albums that I have been looking forward to hear. The only thing that disappoints me about the new Converge is that Deathwish wouldn’t ship the pre-order of the new album to Malaysia or any other countries in South East Asia. I am sure this has something to do with the whole hxc-schmucks-credit-card-fraud thing that happens a few years back. Thank to you fucking morons, now I can’t have those LPs from Converge. I hope karma will get back at you and treat you well.

Yeah I know that Revelation and Interpunk got the same pre-order package as well but they wouldn’t accept any credit card order from Malaysia. Sending cash is not an option right now because I would rather do everything at the comfort of being in front of the PC and at the click of the mouse instead of going to the moneychanger and the post office. Give me convenience or give me death ok.

Talking about hxc schmucks, I just found out that they are having some interesting discussion at Ricecooker about the upcoming FC5 shows/tour. Hmmmm… hxc schmucks will always be hxc schmucks. A friend asks me what are my opinions regarding the whole issue. Well I don’t really care actually. I have no idea about the band and I have no interest to check them out or 95% of the bands that will be performing with them on the tour. But yeah some kind of drama will be good every now and then. It is kinda boring when everyone agrees with you all the time. I think I would rather do the stuff I believe in instead of wasting my time and energy debating about the whole DIY issues on the internet especially not with a bunch of strangers who are hellbent on fucking with you instead of having a healthy discussion. But then again is that surprising? Hxc schmucks and the Internet don’t go well with each other you know.

Oh well enough with the hxc schmucks, Selamat Hari Raya for those who celebrate it. Eat well and have fun.
