Hell yeah! No Security were most likely the best of all the Swedish Käng bands, their split with Doom is even better!
Also one can never go wrong with some Finnish hardcore.

I'm listening to this before going to work today (more käng)
Abuse - Bomba För Frihet Eller Döda För Gud
https://youtu.be/RPp9nJNb-J8?t=801

Kängpunk and Finn hardcore are the two best things to come out of Scandinavia.

Anyone hear the new remaster of Amebix's Monolith? While the original version will always be one of my favourite albums of all time, they did such an unbelievably good job here. Everything sounds so big, clear and powerful but it doesn't really lose its feral bite. I discovered that they had already done the same thing for Arise! too, and the bonus addition of Beyond the Sun was amazing. Highly recommended, especially if the rough production was a barrier to you.

i dont really keep track of remasters at all tbh.

I heard the new martyrdod yesterday. Endless d-beats into oblivion.

Riffs for days though.

I think you'd like it seeing as in your review you said the production was the main problem for you. And yeah new Martydod is great, amazing melodies.

Haven't heard it, and probably don't want to if it's a nothing but brickwalled shit job. From your description, my guess is you're probably someone easily fooled by compression and loudness war tricks. I would love to see the DR numbers for these remasters.

There is nothing wrong with my old HM Recs CD. I listened to the album cranked up on the stereo a couple weeks ago and it sounded fine. It doesn't need to be "fixed", and you can't "fix" production errors with mastering anyway.

RE: Monolith, the AT CD from 2000 is fine also, with reasonable dynamic range.

Is street punk a thing? And if so, what are some notable bands from the style. I don't trust Wikipedia so that's why I'm asking this.

Depending on who you ask it's either a made up subgenre or is used to a describe UK/UK-inspired 2nd/3rd/4th/nth wave punk bands that play tough, midtempo punk rock.

Lyrics are usually apolitical or lean toward Oi!-esque topics. Most bands doing the style after the 80s (and even during the 80s) range from okay to godawful IMHO.

Personally I'd rather listen to bands like Cock Sparrer, UK Subs, Stiff Little Fingers, The Ruts, etc. than most self-proclaimed "street punk" bands that are around today.

Few great crust albums for the evening

Good to see some activity here!

Some solid crust / d-beat from Sweden:

I was about to post this but never got around to it, anyways good shit!

Thick Skull from Victoria - love their sound...

https://thickskull.bandcamp.com/album/soft-spine

i was spinning this again the other day. Still one of of the most MASSIVE d-beat releases ive ever heard.

I'd also recommend Deviated Instinct, Zoe (Japan), Swordwielder, (early) Neurosis ala Pain of Mind/Word is Law/Souls at Zero and Stormcrow.

I'd also check out Zygote if you want an Amebix related project to scope.

Hi
I am looking bands like Nekrofilth,any recs' ?

Mostly it's just Oi, or used interchangably. The Restarts are a good & very enjoyable case.

Deszcz - s/t (2017)

Damn fine neocrust with some nice twists here & there:

^^ Hail Yezzz ^^ that needs to get on Spotify like now.

Might not be exactly what you are looking for but worth a try I reckon.

You'll probably get more accurate recs on the death or thrash metal threads.

------------------------------------


Ikr, heard it again & again. Killer shit.

Here's a fun query. While gyming this morning, Baptists's "In Droves" came on me playlist and I realized immediately I needed to put it on repeate and squat the entire gym, overweight housewives and all.

Impressed by the awesome power of this track, I'm looking for similar tracks from different artists while I wait (patiently) for a new Baptists CD.

Cheers!

- Savage

While yer hard at work tracking down Baptists' sound-alikes, check out a track from the Sunlight's Bane debut - killer!

^I shared one of their songs here not too long ago. Savage shit indeed.

He is the one I'm talking about; Spoke the Cancerous Void. That fucking breakdown at the end is monstrous.

As for the rec, how about these?

Shitshifter

Edit: You've probably heard this one but this my goto gym track. Some of the heaviest riffs ever conceived in this particular style. I present Nails' Wide Open Wound.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4nV8WV-EDY

Cheers for the recs! Feedback inline!

Liking this band's sound - Totem Skin. Bit of a post metal / crust mash-up I suppose...

Good stuff, the grindy bits remind me of The Drip somewhat, check it out if you haven't already. Killer riffing & massive tone on this one:

^^ Only recently found out about The Drip! Loving them too! ^^

cool to see Deszcz has a full length out now, used to spin the ep a bit.
Also came around and listened to that Ursut album. Got some great songs but i kinda wish more were like the opening track.

In other news:

Came across this beast of thrashy Japanese crust.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEIXfYv75WA
No youtube links for the last 3-way split with Dorag, Disturd & Disgunder (2016) so this will do.

Only the Japanese know how to play this kind of crust. Also track down that 3-way split, totally worth it for the Disturd songs!

Edit: Another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxb359FU9mA
Some of these songs are also on the 3way split (but has been re-recorded)

Polish Crust: 'Drip of Lies'

I bought all the Amebix remasters on vinyl and I was very pleased with the results. Huge sound, very powerful, but still raw and aggressive. You hear the connections more now between their earlier works and Sonic Mass, imo.

Anyone here dig Police Bastard? Features previous members of Doom & Sore Throat. Standard d-beat, though more energetic than most.

https://policebastard.bandcamp.com/

^I'm not trolling in the slightest but there is some serious nu metal grooving here. Still enjoyed it for what it is.

^^ I'm digging it ^^

I'm looking for "melodic" grindcore if that makes sense. More specifically, I'm trying to find bands that sound like Wormrot's Voices.



Try checking out track no 2, Hollow Roots.

Another example would be Gridlink.



So if anyone can find more bands along these lines it would be great. Cheers.

How about Beaten to Death? Don't mind the video title, there is no death metal here. Shoegaze/post-rock & somewhat proggy sort of vibe here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYHTZPdQEPw

Liberteer, perhaps?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ET3LkT ... R5JB_bCKF0

...& now for something completely different; Anaal Nathrakh. Industrial elements, deranged black metal shrieks, epic operatic choruses, blastasfuck, melodic riffage with blackened overtones. One of their recent more accessible works:

Edit: You should try the dedicated grindcore thread as well.

Also, new Wolfbrigade guys, some guy was bumping this in "Now Playing" thread:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSXicqLRloo

^^ Love that track ^^ Can't wait for the new CD to drop!!

That would be me. Huge Wolfbrigade fan going back to the Wolfpack days and that new track has me amped!

Wolfbrigade are the shit! New song is awesome.

Split with Conqueror Worm and This Ends Here
