Aktivna Propaganda - Na Ruševinah kapitalizma Bomo Zgradili Prav

2008-03-17T11:45:00.000-07:00

Aktivna Propaganda are from Ljubljana/Kranj, Slovenia. They are into activism, and sing against fascism, capitalism and exploitation in general. They play hardcore punk with many influences (from crust to metal), and I like them very much because they're not typical... This release is made of an intro, an outro, 10 studio songs, and 3 live songs. Very nice!

Shiv - 3 Song Demo

2008-03-13T11:34:00.000-07:00

Ok, I'm just gonna copy the info about this record because this text describes it really good...Oh and I copied the download link from Subvultures, because I found it there. Ok, lets go :
SHIV plays an interesting mix of modern d-beat/dark hardcore and some mostly 80's influenced metal (think Paradise Lost, Judas Priest etc.). Their demo/ep/what-ever-you-wanna-call-it can be found @ http://subvultures.com/ and it contains three furious, uncomfortably dark songs with crushingly fierce vocals and a cold atmosphere which even some black or doom bands would envy.

Bold - Speak Out LP

2008-03-03T06:19:00.000-08:00

Bold are an 80's straigh edge youth crew hardcore band from New York. They were originally called Crippled Youth, and they released 1 record under that name, named "Join the fight", after which they changed their name to Bold and released this 12 song record. It was released in 1988 by Revelation Records. They play the simple, old school type of hardcore, highly influenced by Youth of Today. I'm in love with oldschool, so I like this record, although I wish it was a bit more energic...

Aus-Rotten - Anti Imperialist EP

2008-03-01T01:48:00.000-08:00

Aus-Rotten come from Pittsburgh, USA. They were formed in the early 1990s, and this is their second release. It's a self-released 5 song EP. I always liked their lyrics, they aren't complicated but send a strong message. Ok so, 5 songs of fast, crusty hardcore punk! When I think of Aus-Rotten, I think of 2 phases. This EP, and the "Fuck Nazi Sympathy" CD are first phase, and everything after that is the other phase. Why? Well, the first two releases are really raw and oldschool, while the other releases offer longer, newschool crustcore songs... Anyways, Aus-Rotten are a classic, and a must have...

Tracks:

1.No Change, No Futute, We're Lost
2.They Ignore Peaceful Protest
3.This Is Brainwash
4.Secret Police, Secret Army
5.Apathetic

Aus-Rotten - Anti Imperialist EP

Disclose / Wind Of Pain - Split tape

2008-02-28T14:03:00.000-08:00

Disclose come from Japan. They were formed in 1990 under the name Dehumanization, but changed the name to Disclose as they wanted to play d-beat influenced by mostly Discharge (these tape's lyrics are only about war and the pain it brings). This is a self released tape, but I don't know when did they release it (so if anyone knows, please post it in a comment..). There is little info about this record since it's self released, and it's not posted in Disclose's discography? But hey, I like it... Anyways, Disclose offers 9 fast and raw d-beat/hardcorepunk songs + an intro..

Next... Wind of Pain. I don't know much about them. All I know is that they come from Finland and have split-up (the guitar player and the drummer formed Rytmihäiriö).. Their side offers 6 tracks of really good crust/d-beat...

Tracks:

Disclose side:
00. Intro
01. Fear of the War
02. War is Insanity
03. In Agony
04. Future Extinction
05. The Aspects of War
06. Why Isn't There War
07. Endless War
08. Torture II
09. Conquest

02. Apocalypse '95
03. Visions of Mass Destruction

Senata Fox - Demo

2008-02-25T12:51:00.000-08:00

Cheers! Sabotage is back from the grave :) Ok, now I finally have a lot of free time and I can spend it on writing a blog. The blog is gonna be about various hardcore/crust/punk records and stuff I want you to see, so feel free to contribute by adding information about bands etc. I decided to dedicate my first posts to the Croatian scene, so lets start...

Senata Fox is a thrashy powerviolence/hardcore band from Zagreb/Rijeka, formed in 1999. Their music is uncompromising and fast, with screaming and sometimes crusty vocals. They are vegans/vegetarians and have played in many famous Yugoslavian bands like Razlog Za, Panaceja, Amok, Lunar, ... This is their first demo, but it isn't an official release. It has 16 tracks, mostly under 1 minute, including a Razlog Za (old school hc from Kutina, Croatia) cover named "Sutra". The cover artwork is from their record "The Acracy Discourse" released in 2006, but I decided to use it here because the demo has no cover..
