Gulch needs more love. Great rec, Tomcat.

Gulch sounds great! I'll also check out the rest of those.

For those who use Spotify, it now has Driller Killer again

WIZO

There's a band from Germany called Straight Line that are one of the best skate/90s style punk bands in the world. The singer/guitarist is right into old school thrash and you can definitely hear it in the riffage.

*They sing in English, but still warrant checking out. The album Vanishing Values is a total banger.

Fucking finally! Thanks for the heads up.


Can anybody recommend me some bands VERY similar to Nuclear Death Terror?
I guess Fukpig is kind of similar, but that heavy HM2 guitar tone is a little grating, and in the long run all their songs sound the same.

Disfear comes to mind for me.



Also Trap Them but may be too much HM2 if thats not your thing (I happen to love it)

Yes! This is exactly what I was looking for!



This one is pretty good, too. Thanks for the recs

Disfear is kinda close yeah. I love Trap Them, but I don't find them very close to NDT though.

I just stumbled upon Abuso Sonoro, who are very close to what I'm looking for though. It's like the perfect mix of NDT and Disrupt

I hear ya Mate. Abuso Sonoro def brings the same raw element as NDT.

Nice rec.

Any post-hardcore bands similar to Rites of Spring?

Fugazi especially since Guy Picciotto helped found the band.

Embrace and The Nation of Ulysses are prog up your alley too.

Looking for some grindcore and crust punk bands, if anyone has some. I'm not too familiar with the umbrella of metal-influenced punk genres, and I don't know much about what distinguishes each one, but I'm liking what I've heard so far. I'm looking for anything sludgy and raw (but not too raw) that's still grounded in punk/hardcore.

I think I know most of the essential grindcore bands, my favorite so far is Pig Destroyer, particularly their album Prowler In The Yard. It has all of the extreme tempos and condensed songs you would expect from grindcore, but I can still headbang to it. I don't know ANY crust punk bands so I won't be very picky, as long as they're dirty and metal-influenced enough to be relatively compatible with grindcore in a playlist. I also like bands that take elements of many punk genres, like how Nails borrows from grind, crust, and hardcore.

I've just gotten into the 2021 debut full-length by UK band The Chisel.

This is a total banger. Modern hardcore that isn't interested in beating you down with boring staccato riffage and cliched lyrics about loyalty and perseverance that we've all heard a million times before. This is hard and fast with a twist of singalong UK street-punk. Think Black Flag meets Cockney Rejects meets Slapshot. The singer is rocking a Vio-Lence shirt in their Spotify profile pic. Talk about ticking every box.

Hundres of bands could be listed here. For grindcore that is rooted in punk and hardcore, I don't think I have much to offer. For crust, though, I'd go with these bands for starters:

Nuclear Death Terror


Disrupt


Dropdead


Fukpig


Massgrav


Night Fever (more hardcore punk)


Skitsystem


Doom


Cro-Mags (more hardcore punk/thrash crossover)


Anti Cimex


Driller Killer


Disfear


Disgust


Caustic Christ (more hardcore punk though)


Abuso Sonoro

This is an awesome rec!

I've yet to meet someone who didn't think so! Night Fever is criminally unknown

This is fuckin' good! Great rec, didn't know about the band!

Does anyone have a copy of Acme's "Menschenmaschine" demo uploaded anywhere? (or who is willing to dub/tape it for me, I can do the upload)

This one from 1993: https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/A ... ine/693736

Not the seven-inch.

Hellshock will be releasing their first album in 13 years this year

This rips!

Indeed it does! Cant stop listening to these guys. Also loving the Night Fever rec, especially the second track!!

Found another band somewhat reminiscent of Disrupt: RAW NOISE
This shit is right up my alley - Fast, short and to the point. Great riffs, even if they're simple.

Some guy recommend this on some FB group I follow. Good metallic hardcore

This fookin slays!! Nice rec!

You might also enjoy Lifesick from Denmark - Seems like they haven't been mentioned in this thread before:

Fookin Aye!! Love that HM2 sound! They remind me a bit of Nails! Nice one!

They've really been making waves around Denmark since the release of their album earlier this year, and rightfully so.

This is very good! Listened to their recent album, a beast!

Can anyone recommend some more melodic New York Hardcore in the vein of Gorilla Biscuits and H20? Not looking for beatdown-ish bands like Madball and Sick of It All (I like those bands too, just not what i'm looking for).

I remember NDT. I used to not be able to get enough of that kind of stuff. It's been awhile because I eventually did get enough of the crusty stuff, but I remember also really liking Guided Cradle, Wolfpack/Wolfbrigade, Excrement of War, and Visions of War. Hope that helps, assuming you don't already listen to those bands.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some compilations, or a series of compilations, along the lines of Killed by Death and Bloodstains Across...(insert country/state/region)? I've always loved the late 70's/early 80's punk stuff. Comps like that are a great way to hear some of the more obscure stuff without paying an arm and a leg for those original 45's.

This is exactly what I've been looking for! Highly great rec.

Thanks for the recs dude, I'll definitely check it out! Of the ones you mention, I only know Wolfbrigade!

Edit:
Great recs, I love all the bands! Especially Visions of War and Guided Cradle are right on the money. Too bad EoW and VoW aren't on the regular streaming services, I'll have to make do with Bandcamp until I can scrounge up the cash to acquire physical copies.

^^ happy to help.

New EP by Wolfbrigade! These wolves rock!

They're still around??

I'll be damned. Learn something new every day.

Been active since Run with the Hunted in 2017
