Columns - Please Explode "Please Explode" is the followup to Columns' 2010 debut, "Just Another Species" and it has every bit of the same grindcore aggression and then some. This band stands on its own two feet, but it is interesting to note that this band feature members of Hemdale, Glass Casket, and more.

|
Survivors Will Be Shot Again - Terror Invasion 13 must really be my lucky number, because here we have 13 tracks of blazing in-your-mutha- fuckin-face hardcore punk that border on metal and at times even grind.

|
Deathraid - All Life Ends Second full-length from this Seattle band which features ex-Disrupt, State of Fear and Consume members. This is hammering d-beat rather than the classic 90's style crust like you would expect from the aforementioned bands. On stage they kill, and this record rips. Vinyl LP on Agipunk. |
|
The Posers - Worse Than Nothing Originally released on vinyl by Oink! Records, Worse Than Nothing was the third EP from this defunct Canadian punk band. These 4 hardcore songs represent a transition.

|
Link - Link Recorded in 2008 and released as a limited promo disc during their 2009 European tour, the self-titled debut from Link features eight tracks of dark, epic and heavy brutality - a worthy choice for our 50th download. Formed in 1998, the female fronted crust band hails from Belgium. |

A journey through atmospheric darkness and gloomy acoustic sections to thundering metal soaked doom. |

Political, sincere, and killer tunes, which have finally been given digital treatment. |
|
Doomed Youth - Children of Lifes Destruction Doomed Youth takes us on a journey to when metal first met punk in the glorious 80's.

|
Atakke - Avalanche Second EP from this Brooklyn, NY female fronted thrash/crust crossover band. Produced by Philip Cope (Kylesa), the sound has been generally amped up a notch and it really does the metallic leads and downtuned sludge on these two songs justice. Originally released as a 7inch in 2009 on the Mountains of Madness label. |
|
Atakke - March To The Gallows Debut EP from this deadly female-fonted Brooklyn, NY thrash/crust crossover band. Influenced by Bolt Thrower and Sepultura, these three fast, raw tracks are as dirty as they are heavy. Originally released as a 7inch in 2008 on the Mountains of Madness label. |
|
In Ruins - In Ruins The debut EP from this Atlanta Georgia contains three tracks of heavy, brutal crust punk, with lots of metal influences.

There is a 21 song demo cassette which may still be available from them. |
|
Leper - End Progress Crust. Metal. Anarchism. Ska??? Yes, ska. Dirty, filthy, pissed-off ska. Not the most likely of combinations, but it works. Very well, in fact. These ultra radical hardcore anarchists come from Victoria BC, the home of some of the most intensely political bands in Canada. End progress is the soundtrack to an insurrection in the streets. |
|
Securicor - Only In Death This 4-piece anti-authoritarian punk band from Chicago has been tearing it up around the midwest since 2006. These four songs were recorded with former lead singer, Amanda. They self-released their debut EP to a limited 500 copies, so this is for those of you who could not find the vinyl or do not have a record player. |
|
Suicide Watch - Figure Head of Pain Not interested in becoming the next 'big thing', and not prepared to whore themselves to the music industry, these UK speedsters formed in early 2004 with the sole intention of blasting out honest, politicized, old school thrash metal.

|
Arrestum - Arrestum These Finnish punks formed in 2007 by accident, just goofing around, hanging out and drinking. At first, every song they made was written in 5 minutes or less.

|
Descended From Rats - Species Extinction Two filth-ridden rodents from Hong Kong hurl 17 tracks of experimental audio abuse at the world at the human race.
