timeless fucking album

 

Members of The Bouncing Souls, Lifetime, Minor Threat forms Beach Rats

Color me intrigued.

 

I haven't heard about Taken in YEARS, not so sure it's my thing now but "Arrested Impulse" fucking rules

 

I embrace, this feeling, where nothing else, seems real

 

Threaded Paths is my jam

 

This band is way too under the radar - they need to get noticed.

This album is entirely based around the concept of the first creature to crawl out of the ocean.

This and the new turnstile have been the only hardcore releases I've been into this year so far.

 

Took advantage of the 10 CD’s for $10 from Deathwish and ended up getting 3 bundles. This is what I received:


108: 18.61
Acid Tiger: Acid Tiger
Birds in Row: Personal War
Blacklisted: When People Grow, People Go
The Carrier: Blind to What is Right
Ceremony: Violence Violence
Cold World: Dedicated to Babies Who Came First
Coliseum: Coliseum
Coliseum: Anxiety's Kiss
Cult Leader: Lightless Walk
Cult Leader: Nothing For Us Here
Death Index: Death Index
Doomriders: Come Alive
Doomrider: Grand Blood
Frameworks: Smother
Harm Wulf: Hijirah
Loma Prieta: Self Portrait
Modern Life Is War: My Love, My Way
Oathbreaker: Eros/Anteros
Planes Mistaken For Stars: Prey
Planes Mistaken For Stars: Mercy
Pulling Teeth: Paranoid Illusions, Paranoid Delusions
Punch: They Don't Have to Believe
Rise and Fall: Our Circle is Vicious
Rot in Hell: As Pearls Before Swine
Some Girls: All My Friends Are Going Death
Starkweather: This Sheltering Night
Touche Amore: Is Survived By
Trap Them: Seizures in Barren Paradise
Wovenhand: Refractory

I’m excited to dive into it. So far I’ve checked out Birds in Row and Death Index and they are fantastic.

 

That’s a great haul, there

 

You got some gems in there for sure

 

Violence Violence rules

 

What have you guys listened to in the list that you like?

 

I haven't listened to that Pulling Teeth album in a minute but that band was cool and the guy also ran A389 records which is now shutting down. Cold World is one of my favorite bands and thats the record that put me on to them. Also its named after a ghostface killah line from a Raekwon song off Only Built 4 Cuban Linx so reason enough to listen if you haven't.

 

I love that Blacklisted album

 

Both Cult Leader releases are great if you haven't listened to them before. They're a rad crust/grind/sludge hybrid that's produced some of the most misanthropic, angry music that's come out over the last few years. The Trap Them, Blacklisted, Carrier, Doomriders, Harm Wulf, Modern Life Is War, Oathbreaker, Planes Mistaken for Stars, Pulling Teeth, Touche Amore, Trap Them, and Starkweather releases are also solid.

Acid Tiger is a name I haven't seen mentioned in a hot minute. They're another one of Ben Koller's random projects over the years that he did with Lukas from United Nations. It's a weird, frenetic (but solid) post-hardcore release that reminded me of Drive Like Jehu.

 

my fav Ceremony as of today is probably Still Nothing Moves you - it begins to showcase C's more "outside" influences while still retaining the power violence sound that made them

VV is super fun tho

 

Couple of new releases that I've been digging today:

Knaaves - January. Ex-Die Alone and Enabler.

Here's a cool article from Invisible Oranges about the themes behind the release (bystander intervention or a lack thereof): Two Sides to Violence On Knaaves’ “January” EP

Hank Wood and the Hammerheads - s/t

 

I really like that Loma Prieta record, although I feel a lot of people was disappointed with I loved the Today Is the Day influence and the more minimal guitar approach they went for

 

How do you guys feel about Stick To Your Guns?

I'm seeing them live tomorrow so I've been revisiting their discography and personally I think just about every record is solid.

I know they're a bit more mainstream than they used to be, but they've stayed fairly consistent quality-wise, imo.

 

Those Doomriders records are awesome. Oathbreaker, Blacklisted, Cold World, etc

 

I remember at least a couple of kids in high school with those MOVE sweatshirts from when they were still a MySpace-core band. I’m still kinda surprised they’re still around, although it sounds like they changed their sound a lot. Good for them, at least they didn’t fade with the Elysia’s and Ligeia’s of the world

 

Everything everyone else said haha. Touché record is probably my favorite off that list

 

Ligeia, that's a name I haven't heard in a while. I really liked their debut.

STYG kinda seems to get lumped in with the metalcore stuff a bit, but they are definitely rooted in hardcore (particularly, the lyrics) - I just wonder if the hardcore crowd still respects them, or if they are written off for being too "mainsteam" now

 

I love them. That EP they did was awesome.

 

Oh idk, I think they’ve never particularly been a “cool” band for the hardcore crowd. I myself haven’t listened in awhile

 

They've never done anything for me, and they weren't that great live the one time I saw them (2008-2009? with Terror, Trapped Under Ice, and Close Your Eyes at a place that was a bar and grill that specialized in flight simulators in Virginia Beach. Weird venue). But that's 10 years ago at this point so things might be completely different now.
