Libation - Sanctimonious Offerings

Since the download on other blogs is actually an Impiety demo, I figured I'd upload this. This is the actual Libation - Sanctimonious Offerings demo.

Speedwolf OOP releases...

Excellent US black speed punk. These two releases were requested by the guys over at Renrat's Metal Bazaar. It took me a while, but here they are.

Both of these (the Bark at the Poon demo tape, and the split 7" with The Hookers) are getting tougher to find, but I highly recommend that you pick them up if you see them around. They always come with stickers and other goodies.

Fukrot - Local legends.

Fukrot was one of the best bands to ever grace the Albuquerque local scene. The music is a sludgy, crust, hardcore assault. The guitarist manages to get the BEST guitar tone in this history of 6 stringed instruments.

They toured a few times, and played quite frequently around town. Yet to me, they where one of the few bands that played a lot that never got boring.

It was really a sad day when the drummer moved to Portland putting the band on indefinite hiatus. The drummer and his wife formed Murderess in Portland, who are another great band, but they don't have the awful muck (this is a positive thing...) of Fukrot, while the guitarist and bassist continued to make similar under the name RoƱoso (Who I'll talk about in another post).

I still hope for a Fukrot reunion.

Nitre Pit - Lo!

Self-released album from 1994 from this San Francisco band whose members (Tasha Riggins, Aaron Russell, Greg Saunier, and Rob Fisk) went on to form Deerhoof, Weird Weeds, and 7 Year Rabbit Cycle.

The guitarist and vocalist Tasha, also played guitar in a hardcore/powerviolence band with me around 2000/2001. This is pretty experimental and weird, but it's top notch stuff.

Doomsday 1999

These guys are without question the best bunch of guys I ever set a show up for. Really excellent music as well. Sort of silly, but not a joke band.

I can't really say too much else, what they where doing was fairly unique though it's pretty solidly rooted in grindcore. Just give it a listen for yourself. The link below includes both their albums; Maniac on the Floor and Racist Unicorn.

Bloody Cross...

This stuff is RAW. It's nearly impossible to find, so deal with it.

Considered to be the first black metal band in Chile, Bloody Cross got their start in 1987 as The Morgue. The released one demo "Satan Tomorrow Attack" under than name before changing their moniker to Bloody Cross.

Their early stuff is pretty savage black thrash, but on the Godforsaken...Land full length they adopted sort of a Mayhem meets South American black thrash approach.

The broke up before releasing the second full length Satanas. They did release a promo for it however, which includes re-recordings of some of the stuff on the Satan Tomorrow Attack demo.

I have ripped all the tapes I have from this impossible to find band, and included a rip of Fear and Pain of God that has already made it's way around the blogs...5 in total.

Lantern - Virgin Taste of Damnation (Demo 2008)

Band: Lantern
Album: Virgin Taste of Damnation
Genre: Death metal
Year: 2008
Origin: Finland
Label: Self-released

Lantern formed from the ashes of Cacodaemon, who sound a bit more traditional than Lantern. I had believed that these had been long out of print, as the second demo which was released this year is already out of print...but was surprised to find a copy of this tape in a distro in France. This stuff has a sound all of it's own in my opinion. It's as moody as death metal can possibly get. If you could call a bands sound obscure, this would be that band and that sound. The overall volume on the mix is a bit low (I've fixed that problem in the mp3s found here on my blog), but the recording it self is solid.


I couldn't find this anywhere on the web, and multiple requests to have it uploaded where ignored, so when I got my copy, I promptly set out to digitize this stuff to share this amazing band. The band has a CD coming out either at the tail end of this year, or the beginning of next, so keep an eye on their website for more info on the upcoming CD.
