Prophecy of Doom-Calculated mind rape 7"

First off i d like to say to all you guys who requested some old posts with dead links, there will be some reposts as soon as possible. There's a thought about what to do with the whole thing but i would like to discuss it with Whispy,(a little hard right now cos he's in summer holidays in some tropical islands giving a shit about crust-hardcore). Anyway,take it easy,have a beer and consider everyday life routine and the usual shit that occasionally comes, it is summer and we all have to slow it down sometimes..
Secondly, this post credits go to John Liedown of Punks on Postcards blog. I always wanted some PoD here but since their last ep is still floating around in distros and "Until the again" is a lost treasure,well i can't resist the temptation..
Prophecy of Doom were a grindcore act from Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire,UK. They started as Domination Factor and later became Prophecy of Doom. As Domination Factor they recorded the "Dominated till death" demo in 1987 and they had a live @ Mermaid in Brum (August '87). Never heard anything of Domination Factor so if anyone of you old punks out there know any further info just drop a line
The first PoD recorded material was the "Insanity reigns supreme" demo(1988) and was followed by "Calculated mind rape and "Acknowledge the confusion master" lp in 1990 (Peaceville/Deaf), the Peel Sessions ep (1990,Strange Fruit), "Until the again 7" (Afterworld Records,1991,DOES ANYONE HAVE IT???), the "Matrix" lp (1992,Metalcore Records) and the "Ego-Death grind" demo (1996) which was recently released by Agipunk in seven inch called "Tri-battle thought-form engagement". According the their myspace, there is a secord Peel Seesion from 1991 unreleased yet.
"Calculated mind rape" was the first vinyl release of PoD, it was released back in 1989 on Prophecy Records and its a two track piece of heavy as hell grinding brutality, they way grindcore should be far from gore cliches and deathgrind bullshit. Both tracks appear in "Acknowledge the confusion master" lp in different recordings,(Hybrid thought is about a minute longer), Shrew (Vox) and Shrub (later on guitar) are now in drunk crusties Alehammer with Scoot (Hellkrusher / Extinction of Mankind)
tracks:
1:Calculated mind rape
2:Hybrid thought

Prophecy of Doom-Calculated mind rape

Grief/Dystopia-split 7"

"I drown in my self-pity, don't need your sympathy
alone I wait for the end,I'm sick of seeing your fucking faces"
Actually, this post was going to be the Grief/13 split but since this was reissued in 2007 and its possible to find it around and i m bored as hell to check its availability lets throw in the Dystopia/Grief soundtrack of cutting your wrists.
Grief was formed back in 1990 by the former Disrupt members Randy Odierno (Drums),Jeff Hayward and Jay Stiles who wanted to follow a dark and doomy pathway much different to the raging crust of Disrupt. Their discography includes splits with some legends of sludge/doom such as Corrupted(1995), (1993) Soilent Green(1995) 13 and 16 (1998) and the "Depression"(a.k.a. st) ep 1992, the full lengths "Dismal" (1992), "Come to Grief" (1994), "Miserably Ever After" 1996, "Torso" (1998), "...And Man Will Become The Hunted(2000). in 2002 they disbanded due to "hostile environment for doom metal bands" and the same time released the "Turbulent Times" comp, they formed back in 2005 and in 2006 they released the "Alive"(southern Lord)
Grief had many line up changes, Jay Stiles very soon returned to raging crust fields and after State of Fear and Consume now is in a band call Disraid
Dystopia are the sludge/doom masters from Oakland, born from the ashes of Mindrot, Carcinogen and Confrontation they ruled in the fields of Doom and Sludge, recently they came back with their eponymous lp (2008,Life Is Abuse) and they still reign. Some Dystopia floating on blogosphere:Split w Suffering Luna(1995) Backstabber ep(1997), split w Skaven(1996), "The aftermath" comp (4 track EP/13 track CD)(1999,Life is Abuse)
The Grief/Dystopia (a.k.a. Lifeless/Sleep) was released by Life Is Abuse in co-operation with Misanthropic Records in 1993, it was the first Dystopia ever on Life is Abuse, it is long out of print and every single copy came with a free razor blade. According to Life is Abuse "though one distributor in Minneapolis took every razor outta all the copies we sold em cause they were afraid of getting sued". The Dystopia track appears in the Human=garbage comp cd (1994,Life is Abuse) and Grief tracks appear in "Turbulent times" comp.
Thats, it. I hope after all these links you have already clicked and you are in another webpage and not here, but if you are still here, go get it:

01:Sleep
Grief:
01:Lifeless
02:Fucked upstairs

V/A-Drinking is great 7" comp

Here we are again but hwile we were away some serious shit happened:If you tried to download anything during the last days you probably noticed a problem, yes all links were dead, both servers Divshare and 4shared deleted the uploaded files and banned my accounts so things were really serious, the 90-95% of links were dead and only Whispy's links were still active. Due to its policy Div deleted all my files while 4shared activated back my account 24 hours later. Its quite strange two servers doing the same shit at the same time. I don't know if either 7inchcrust is victim of a bad circumstance or someone choose to complain there and not to make a comment here and ask about removing a(some) record(s) but whatever is the truth behind our conjecture, the fact is all the work done and uploaded in Div now has been lost. Its hard to re-up all these files,it will take weeks and months of hard work, some records were visitors fave's so these ep's will be up as soon as it is possible, for the rest we ll see. maybe some request reup's and for the rest only samples of one or two tracks. we ll see...
Anyway, we would like to celebrate the 200.000 visits with not such problems but thats life. We have reached the 200.000 visitors here and we want to thank all of you who visited, commented, downloaded, contributed and blah blah blah (the usual rant), now we head on for the 300.000 (hopefully) so lets have a drink and celebrate, cheerss!

"Drinking is great" is a compilation that came out in 1985 on Fatal Erection Records, a label run by Pig Champion (RIP) and Malcolm Conover. Fatal Erection released "Pick your king" and "Record collectors are pretentious assholes" of Poison Idea plus some ep's of Final Warning, E13, Osgood Slaughter and the Turbonegro/Flying Crap-split 10".
There' s no need to say anything about the kings of punk, so only a few words about the other bands: E13 (or Etherteen) were from Eugene, Oregon, they started in 1982 and released two ep's :"No mercy for swine" in 1984 and "Quest for Gilligan" in 1985, both on Fatal Erection. Damon Oliver their original vocalist died by liver disease in spring of 2006, you can find a brief biography of band, photos etc here. Members of E-13 formed Osgood Slaughter (1986/87) and released a 12" on (where else? )fatal Erection.
Lockjaw were from Portland and they were accused for being fascists. They selfreleased two ep's "Shock value"(1982) and "Dead friends" (1983). the E13 webpage labels them as neo-fascists but according to Kill From The Heart " Lockjaw was labeled "Portland's most hated band, they were ripped by the media, protested, and a couple of local record stores destroyed all the band's records. The band was accused of being nazis and white power racists, but it was all hysteria, rumor, and of course not true...", ... The record review of "Shock value" in Maximum Rock n Roll #3 states "Unfortunately the lyrics are really stupid, being sexist, violence prone and despite their protestations, racist as hell". A bunch of violent idiots i guess..
Final Warning were from Seattle, i know absolutely nothing about them but the KFTH infos: they released a 7" on Fatal Erection in 1984 and appeared in "Northwest Hardcore" comp. tape (Media Blitz, 1988)
Tracks:
01:Poison Idea:Laughing boy
02:E-13:Pangreatitis
03:Lockjaw:You dick
04:Final Warning:I quit

Crossing Chaos-Behind the glamorous face...

Time for some raging crust: Crossing Chaos hail from Sweden and "Behind the glamorous face.." is a 7" recorded in 1999 and released in 2002 on Yellow Dog Records.
CC formed in 1996 in Avesta, they recorded a couple of demos ["Brand Snutkuk"(1996), s/t(1997) and "Promo '98"] and their first official release was "From the nearest liquor store in hell" (Resist The System Records,2000) that was followed by "Disgusting Reality" (Blindead Productions,2002), and two split ep's w Full Of Hatred (Raid Records,2002) and Another Oppressive System (Cries of Pain,2005). In 2004 they released their first full length "At the end") on Putrid Filth Conspiracy
The entire title of this ep is "Behind the glamorous face of our hypocritical eden ruled by powermad bastards", it was recored in Black Lounge Studio in 1999 and consists of seven tracks of raging crust/hardcore full of anger. Pissed off screaming vocals, fast chords of raging guitars and speedy pounding drums deliver intense straightforward crusty hardcore. High level speed in most of the time, there are only a few slower parts, angry lyrics complete the sonic armaggedon:"You made us addicted to your community machine, law limits and country controls is what i see,living for life nothing is free" and call for rebellion:"Time to fight the fascist system,the system must be crushed,time to fight the enemy,fight for anarchy". The production is decent for the 15:40 of total running time.
"Behind the glamorous face..." was released by Yellow Dog three years after its recording (2002) and it is out of print, some copies may still float around in distros. Apart from their official records Crossing Chaos re-recorded the "Brand Snutkuk" demo in 1999 and contributed tracks in several compilations such as tributes to Mob 47 (Blindead Productions,1999), Anticimex (Pelea Records,2004) and Eddie Medusa(Ägg Tapes & Records,2005) ,in 2007 they toured in Europe.
Tracklist:
01:Hypocrite
02:Pay for living
03:Rock n Roll warrior
04:Dead cop
05:Sick mans world
06:M.D.B.(Murder-Death-Blood)
07:Rebellion

Various Artists-Forever 7"

Framtid/Disclose-split 7"

Its been already a year since Kawakami left this world. it was June 5 2007 and he was found dead, the news was spread around the web and in the beginning it seemed to be just a bad joke but very soon it was proved the shitty truth:The voice and guitar machine of Disclose was dead. The chapter was finished and the end of Disclose was near..
I don't want to write a emotional posthumous rant here, this is is not my tend and there is no need for something like that, you all probably know how this story happened. This post is in remembrance of Kawakami and we have sometimes to remember all those who have gone.
The last Disclose gig took place in Osaka,Jpn, you can check some photos in Condensed Fresh blog (Ben, thank you) and the Swedish fanzine "The D in d-beat is for Disclose"
And a few words about the Osaka outfit Framtid: Once again you can check Condensed Fresh for some infos about the band and then visit Crust-Demos for "Consuming shit and mind pollution" demo tape, Distort Minds for their 8 track ep and Fight Against the Plutocrats for "Under the Ashes" lp. Check them also in the amazing "All Crusties Spending Loud Night 2002"DVD

This split was released in 2004 for the Framtid/Disclose Chainsaw tour '04 in USA. it was releaed by Wisper in Darkness, the copy here is from the euro-pressing on RSR records/Dan Doh Records. Each band contributes three D-beat thunders of what they were going to deliver to US punks: The tour was a disaster, Framtid never made it and Disclose made just a short tour in west coast. As i said this is the European pressing of this split, i dont know how many copies were made but some of them seem to pop up in distros around the globe.
Thats it,now go get it
Tracks:
Framtid:
01:Mind and action
02:Life control
03:Punishment
Disclose:
01:Atomic biological chemical
02:The holocaust of war
03:Once the war started

D.o.n.D.o.n.-Commercialism 7"

D.o.n.D.on. were a respective member of the second wave of bands that rose the flag of punk in Japan in mid/late 80's. You have met them before in their split w Scraps so there is no need for any rant about their history. Bastard, GISM, Asbestos, Judgement and Poison Arts are some bands that D.o.n.D.o.n members were involved, Iizawa (bassist) does backing vocals in the third and newest World Burns To Death lp, "Graveyard of Utopia".

Commercialism" was the second D.o.n.D.o.n. ep, it was released in 1990 on Highly Collectable Records, a label run by Dropdead members. Six tracks, 14:30" total running time and grey vinyl.
Midpaced tempos that sometimes speed on, decent production and harsh vocals (the japanese way). I dont know how many copies of grey were made and if there was a classic black vinyl version is a question that should be answered by some of you out there who happen to know, (the number of 250 copies of gray appears as info in a trade list on How's Your Edge? )
Tracks:
01:Nuclear reek
02:Commercialism
03:Essentional qualities
04:Braggart
05:Satisfy
06:Factory

Crocodile Skink-st 7"

I m feeling a bit weird while typing this after Whispy's last post and all these infos and details because i know only a few things about Crocodile Skink. But lets give it a try while waiting for Kaaos/Svart Aggression and these mysterious three UK ep's..
Crocodile Skink were a four piece Tokyo outifit, they formed in 1990 and disbanded in late 90's (around 1997-98), they formed their own label(Crocodile Skink Records in which their selfreleased the split with Swedish punks No Security,we ll post it here sometime, hopefully), some members were also in a band called Snowline. The rest of their biography are unknown to me so if you know any further info just make a comment and say it.
Their discography as fas as i know is:a split 7" with No Security(1990, Crocodile Skink Records), the s/t 7"(1992) and a split 7" with Forca Macabra(1996,DIY Records). They also appeared in "War"CD comp (1991),"Animal rights" comp.tape (1993, and obviously its another release and not this compilation posted by Fugitive Equibrium),"Tokyo crusties" 7" and "Chaos of destruction III" comp-3xLP (2005), there is also a demo tape, strangely recorded in 1995 and not in their early days. These releases plus some previously unreleased and live tracks, minus the demo tape are included in the 38 track discography cd released by Tribal War Asia Records

The st ep came out in 1992 on Asia Records in recycled paper and consists four tracks of crust and japanese hardcore blending. The rhythms are midpaced to moderately fast, the recording is heavy,harsh Japanese vocals and if they remind something, this is a crusty mix of DON DON and Damnable Excite Zombies.
Thats it. No more to say, go get it..
Tracks:
01:State bustar
02:Genitalia
03:Once take back
04:Revolution


Crocodile Skink-st 7"

Pack - (S/T 7")

Let me (who's stopping me anyhow?) start by saying that this is a repost, as others beat me to the chase - you can check out crustcracker's post as well as this post in a site I don't think I've ever seen in the past.

So, Pack - swiss chaos at its best. This tight gem was released in 07/2003, according to the label's website - the 1st press consisted of 800 copies with gold-tinged covers; the 2nd press (01/2004) came up to 500 copies with silver-tinged covers, though I've never seen any of those (anyone?) I believe that I first came across this in Profane Existence's distro in the beginning of 2004; I ordered it immediately based on the description, hoping for something decent. What I got was the best 7" of the year, as anyone who has listened to "Skinned Alive" can certify. That same summer I got my hands on the Kaaos/Svart Aggression split 7" (can't believe we haven't posted that here yet - MUST do a.s.a.p.!) from Hibernation's own Last Scream distro & Alekos asked had I heard the Pack 7" already? So, it was due to him that I learned how Pack's history dates back to an unbelievable swiss band named Bagger (which he had witnessed live & which I now hope was also true of me - if you also haven't & are wondering why, check this...). This led to my tracking down the Bagger/Liselotte split LP (still trying to track down the Bagger/Nula tape release) with its über-brutal sound & amazing artwork (I threw in the artwork in a separate file of pretty big size - you can get it here for a while, though I will eventually delete it). Thus, if 7"s can be said to be lucky, this would have to be my own lucky 7" I guess...

So, Pack - the offshoot of Bagger, a crazy, crusty, grindy collective from Switzerland which operated in the mid-to-late '90s if I'm not mistaken. In particular, niggu (drums), bänz (guitar), & dömi (bass) all played in the aforementioned record with Liselotte. To top it off, they also have ties to Victors Hofnarren who were featured in the Whispers compilation & had a split LP (on Maximum Voice) with the amazing Jobbykrust (of which band more in a subsequent post), as niggu & bänz played in that record, too. Back to the 7" at hand, this has been their first (& in my opinion their best to date) offering, & it was followed by a split LP with grinders SOL (Rinderherz, 2004 - great artwork there, too, & still available in a few distros) & the "Booze For Future" 7" (released in Rinderherz in 2005, still available for purchase, & also to be found in crustcracker's blog). Nothing followed, though their myspace account says they're drunk but not dead & what else could humble I possibly wish them but to hold on to that blissful state but also assume affirmative action towards releasing the new track "Ich Bin Harter" (feat. a swiss rap artist, of all possible people, & available at the aforementioned myspace), if possible with other material of that caliber? Nothing, I guess.

One more thing, this one regarding the name: according to this interview, they got named Pack because dömi was working at the post office at the time & was really fed up with packing stuff & then packing some more stuff - hilarious, just like the rest of the interview.

Seeing as I have little other information to offer, I deem it wise to stop boring the hell out of you & end this missive somewhere............ here. Bang your head like there's no tomorrow to this one, it deserves it.

Unkind-Verinen ilotulitus 7''

Unkind is one of the best bands of Finnish scene, they are around for about a decade and their powerful crust was a Terra Ingognita to me since i digged them for first time a few months ago (Shame on me! these dudes are fucking great.)
Their discography is the eponymous ep (Witchhunt Records, 1998), "Who’s the fucking terrorist" ep (Fight, 1999), a split ep w Police Bastard (Fight, 1999), "Plant the seed" 10” (Fight / Pathetique), a split 7" w Sawn Off (Pathetique,2001), "Mieliemme tuhkasta" (Yellow Dog,2005), "Ei mitaan, lp(Combat Rock Industry, 2006) and "Hangen Syliin" (Combat Rock Industry, 2007). They also appeared in "Rajoitettu Ydinsota:Tribute To Rattus(Fight, 2000) and "Passing bells" ep(passing Bells Recors, 2001), and in Combat Rock Industry compilations "Combat Rock Sound" vol 1(2005) and II (2006). Members of Unkind are in a band called Lahempana Loppua.

"Verinen ilotulitus" ep was released by Fight Records in 2003, only 500 copies of red vinyl were pressed and according to Fight website this is out of print. It consists of four tracks including one Antisect cover. The eponymous tracks opens the record and its the sign of what you should expect here: Unlike the majority of scandinavian bands Unkind are closer to PDX bands and they are not just another crusty dis band. The Tragedy,His Hero is Gone and From Ashes Rise influences are obvious here, The rest tracks are in the same vein , the Antisect cover is well done, the sound quality is excellent,lyrics in finnish and english(printed on back cover).
I have nothing else to add here, if you know any further infos we 'd appreciate a comment,
Tracks:
01:Verinen ilotulitus
02:On my throat
03:Why must i die (Antisect cover)
04:Totuus/Vaihtoehto

Skaven-st 7"

If you even seen a flyer like this and want to know what are these mutant rat like warriors,then here is the answer for you:Skaven are a chaos race of rat-like creatures in a table top wargame that takes place in a dark world similar to Tolkien's Middle Earth, i m not into such things so you can find some more infos @ Wikipedia
Skaven from Oakland California took their name from this rpg Warhammer vermin race, they formed in 1995 including members of Black Maggot and in two active years(1995-97) they released a split lp w Dystopia (in Life is Abuse and with the haunting title "Blessed are The Worms.....For They Shall Inherit This Barren Dirt!") and the eponymous ep you can get here. They also recorded a demo tape. Some disagreements and different opinions were the root for some problems, the band broke up and members went on with Lachrymose and Asunder. Lachrymose were an almost Skaven band and didn't last long, Zeb(vocals) now is in a band named DemonSteed and Rockin' Geoff Evans(guitar) became the front man of Asunder "fame".

the eponymous ep (a.k.a. Flowers of Flesh and Blood/Severed) was recorded in 1996 and delivers two tracks of dark emotional crust. It was released by Misanthopic Records with Noah of Neurosis (fame) as producer.The lyrical content reproduces the horror of haunting cover artwork:"Walk with me through the valley of broken dreams, and hopes are crushed by madness and pain,You inflict as you turn the key to unlock a world of shit and greed". No any occult stuff here. Each tracks is about seven minutes long and delivers a blending of Axegrinder, Deviated Instinct, early Neurosis and the likes . The record is a kind of concept since both tracks are connected with the same bassdriven acoustic melody ("Severed" outro is "Flowers..." intro), each side of vinyl is named "Cocoon" and "Moth" side and what is remarkable here is that Skaven have two bassists.
About 12 years after the release of this ep, in January of '08 Skaven used another song from this ep sessions in a split 7" with metal crusties Stormcrow

Tracks:
1:Severed
2:Flowers of flesh and blood

Police Bastard-Gulf war syndrome

Back after a few days and shit happened meanwhile as it occasionally tends to but this time shit was great: A great gig is always a good reason for some extra beers, my headache and daze are still there,, Whispy is not on the mood to post anything so i have to do the hard job once again :)

It will be short this time, just a few words about Police Bastard since you know them: Some vets carrying history in Filthkick, Contempt and Doom got together in mid 90's and formed a project having its roots in Discharge and Chaos UK legacy. Their discog is two split lp's w A38 (Barbaren,1995) and Defiance (Ataque Sonoro,1995), a split 7" w Unkind(Fight Records,1999), the "Traumatized lp (Inna State Records,1995) and two 7"'s: Gulf war..." and "Cursed earth"(Twisted Chords,2002)
"Gulf war syndrome" came out in 1998 and consists of four tracks of UK hardcore with 90's crust sound. Police Bastard walk beyond the hardcore fields and search the deathrash realms (some Sepultura traces her and there is my twisted thought or just real?). they seem to have the will to do something different to the straight forward stuff or early days. The production is excellent and an insert with lyrics is included
i have nothing more to say, go get it..
Tracks:
1:Second skin
2:A lesson in human control
3:Gulf war syndrome
4:I crush worlds


Police Bastard-Gulf war syndrome

Carcass-Pathologic 7" boot

Believe it or not i tried twice to post this before but i stepped back because of the gory shit, i had a discussion with Whispy about it and still doubt . But today and after watching the news about the earthquake in China and disaster in Myanmar, i went out and met some guys hanging around and bullshiting about the soccer cup final game, when i said about about these things they said "so what? why should me care about?", i said nothing and went away. I know such shitheads there are everywhere but indignation sometimes can,t be buried and wrath goes beyond political barriers when alienation, cynicism and indifference have a disgusting and arrogant face a million times uglier than some gory lyrics...anyway if you think this ep shouldn't be here just say it...

"Pathological" lp/cd comp was released in 1989 by Pathologian Records, it was a strange record far from the usual standards about the variety of a common compilation, i mean its weird to find some grindcore bands standing together with industrial or experimental acts: Carcass(Grindcore), Napalm Death(in a atmospheric ambient track), Godflesh(Industrial), Stretchheads(experimental noise/punk), God(noise), Silverfish (noise-rock),Terminal Cheesecake(Space rock). Very unusual indeed...
The fist time i listened to this was from a trade tape from a guy i had traded several times back in late 80's/early 90's, i don't know how he managed this time and the tape had the worse sound i ever heard, he did this to joke on me, i still have this tape but its been more than ten years since i listened it. A bad recorded tape with some noisy bands...

I don't know how many years after the release of this comp this ep came out but the Carcass tracks in "Pathologian" are the tracks that appear in "Pathologic" : 1000 copies were made,"Genital grinder II" is probably the one and only instrumental song of Carcass, it is the first track of "Reek Of Putrefaction" lp and here appears in a alternative version while "Hepatic tissue fermentation" was a brand new track. "Genital grinder II" has a midpaced tempo and heavy riffage bringing in mind the Disattack crust legacy while "Hepatic.." is a piece of old school midpaced grindcore with some outbreaks here and there. Both tracks are in the vein or brutal grindcore of "Reak of.." era the metal orientated of you surely know and both tracks appear in "Wake up and Smell the... Carcass" comp. An alternative version of ""Hepatic.." appears in "Tools of the trade" ep
Carcass lyrics(and that kind of lyrics in general) were always a minus to me . Lyrics are important but what the hell,its only one track of a rare boot and there's no change to understand a single word of "Hepatic.."'s growls and apart from the gory wankerology there is no any racism or sexism bullshit
The cover is pretty sick and probably one of the first medical cover artworks, the main idea is somehow the same with the artwork of first lp of Greek political crusties Naytia, check it here

"Pathological" lp came out on vinyl, cd and tape, each release had totally different cover,Pathologian Records was a label owned by Kevin Martin, a guy who booked the first Godflesh concerts in London and later worked with Justin Broderick in many projects..

Tracks
01:Genital grinder II
02:Hepatic tissue fermentation

Death Sentence-Ryan.. thanks for the support

Well i don't know much about these guys so we 'd appreciate if you could fill the blank lines.
Death Sentence formed in Australia in mid 80's and were active until late 80's(or early 90's?). Their discography as far as i know (and Kill From The Heart has no infos about them) is "Ryan.."ep, "If pain mends my mind" (12" mini LP on Funnel Web Records,1986), "51st state of America"(1986,unreleased lp) and probably some demo tapes. They also appeared in "Not so lucky continent" 2xLP comp (Reactor,1988). For sometime DS had a Condemned To Death former member in their ranks
"Until the end of the sentence (1985-89)" is a 50 minute discography cd on Burrito Records including 35 songs and a 24 page booklet with their history. I found a copy in my local distro but i didn't buy it since i don't buy cd's(shame on me and it serves me right because these guys are really great)

"Ryan..Thanks for the support" ep came out in 1985 on band's own label Single Bullet Theory Enterprises Records, it is also known as "Ryan" ep. Only 500 copies were made including photocopied flyers and an insert with lyrics. Despite the limited number of copies there were some different versions of cover. There is also a bootleg version of "Ryan" from Germany
Death Sentence deliver seven tracks for approximately seven minutes total running time. Their thrashcore was in the vein of Ripcord, Heresy and Siege, the production is descent, some tracks are less than a minute long and each track (the title) is announced by the singer in the beginning, bringing the atmosphere of a live performance.
Tracks:
01:Death sentence
02:Air that we breathe
03:Moral majority
04:Benevolent intervention
05:Balance of a nation
06:Case to exist
07:Christian fanatics

V/A-Anglican scrape attic 7" (flexi)

"Anglican scrape attic" is an old and forgotten jewel and a pre-Earache flexi 7" released in 1985 by Nottingham scenester and future Earache founder Digby "Dig" Pearson. Earache was born a few years later
This flexi was an international compilation with bands from UK, USA and Japan. 5000 copies were made and a sticker included. In the catalog of Earache it appears in the pre-Earache section as a Earache release but with no catalog number.
The artwork is weird (or my mind plays games with me and i see no trace of metal or punk in this cover?), the inside sleeve includes lyrics and contact infos.
Music wise the record is pretty interesting because of all these genres included there:Thrash metal, hardcore from Japan, UK hardcore and thrash/crust.

Side A belongs to the bands from USA and Japan: In the beginning things are getting much metallic with Hirax from Buena Park, Ca. They contribute a track taken from their debut "Raging violence" lp (1985,Metal Blade), "Destruction and terror" is a thrash metal song with thrash riffage and metal vocals. Neither great nor mediocre, not bad for me, its on your metal orientate taste to get this but after while things change and dudes from Tokyo take over and the record moves into hardcore pathways: Execute's "Your eyes" was a unreleased track back in these days, a different version of it appeared one year later in "Omen of fear" 7"(Selfish Records),the side ends with Lip Cream and another piece of japanese hardcore
Side B belongs the UK bands:Concrete Sox from Nottingham begin with ‘Eminent Scum pt I & II'. The sound is pretty raw, And then comes the best track of compilation: Sacrilege with "Blood run" bring the metallic feeling again with their thrash metal and high pitched female vocals. Too thrashy but too crusty in the same time.
What is common in both UK bands is the fox anti-hunting thing:The Concrete Sox track is taken from their debut "Your Turn Next" lp(1985,COR Records). this was a libel against the traditional hunting of fox in England and "Blood run" lyrics deal with the same topic too. Sacrilege track was taken from their second demo tape.
That was the rant,now go get it,
Tracks
01:Hirax-death and destruction
02:Execute-Your eyes
03:Lp Cream-Top fight
04:Concrete Sox-Eminent scum pt i & II
5:Sacrilege-Blood run
