I’m not sure if you wants recommendations like Black Flag, The Adolescents, The Descendants, Gorilla Biscuits, Refused, or Charged GBH, Extreme Noise Terror, Skitsystem. The Amebix is throwing me there with the metallic/Motörhead-influenced sound. Wolfbrigade? Anti-Cimex? Discharge? Those bands too metallic? Suicidal Tendencies? I can’t tell from your post how deep you want to go here, all the bands I’ve just listed may be too obvious for you.

Anyone got anything like Breach's "It's Me God"? I need something that's grimy and harsh in that vein, I know that's a pretty broad request. Well aware of Terra Tenebrosa and stuff in that vein would be nice too but i'd like some stuff that leans closer to hardcore.

Can I get a recommendation for blackened or technical crust punk?

Technical crust isn’t a thing (maybe you’re thinking of stadium crust)but Dishammer plays some excellent blackened d-beat/crust. Iskra is very popular but it’s too much black metal and not enough punk.

technical.... crust?
Crust can go experimental/prog/whatever and become neocrust but its not really something you can make technical.

What are some good crust punk albums?

A classic: Disrupt - Unrest

Actually the only crust I can enjoy for some reason. The genre in general is rather stupid imo.

Seconding Disrupt

His Hero Is Gone and Dystopia are probably my two favourites.

Also give Anti Cimex, Disfear, Skitsystem, Tragedy and Wolfpack a look

Anyone know anything similar to Mass Grave? So really catchy and relatively varied crust/grind which is a little more extreme than the Wolfbrigade types.

disrupt, cyness, human error. warcollapse, psykkoanalyysi

Tragedy

We're finally getting some new Swordwielder very soon. Sounds just as good as Grim Visions of Battle.

P.E. will also be reissuing the Misery/S.D.S. split too. Never thought that would happen.

Out 28th June

sick

Any other newer crust/stenchcore records come out in recent times that I should know about? I'm a big fan of recent output from Fatum (Rus), Ruinebell, Swordwielder, and Alement to name a few bands. I really like thrashier stuff that sounds like Sacrilege UK, or the more brooding, pummeling style played by bands like Axegrinder.

The Duality EP from Carnage is excellent crust in the axegrinder vein. It was released by Profane Existence. They’re listed on the archives.

This sounds cool! Thanks for the rec!

New crust band out of Portland just came to my attention thanks to the Sorry State newsletter. Very much in the vein of Amebix/Antisect.

Saw them live last week on their European tour. It has the drummer of Black Breath

New album 8th November: "The Enemy: Reality"

sounds good, their last album was fine but nothing spectacular this sounds better than the average song on the last one.

My band The Phosphorus Bombs has a new EP coming out next week, recorded at The Pet Food Factory studios, produced by Jay Whalley (singer of Frenzal Rhomb).

Those interested in heavier skatepunk and hardcore should check it out. Here's a link to the first single '...Against You!' - https://thephosphorusbombs.bandcamp.com ... you-single

I'd describe it as Sick Of It All meets No Control era Bad Religion. People have also compared it to Gang Green, No Fun At All and RKL. Throw me a bone and give it a spin. Keen to hear some more feedback.
