Descriptions for 9/6/25

ILL REPUTE - Big Rusty Balls LP
Back in print for the first time since 1993, "Big Rusty Balls" was produced by Jerry Finn (engineer and co-producer of Green Day's "Dookie"), and mastered by the legendary Bill Lightner at K-Disc. One anthem after another. This is certain to sell to all the Nardcore punks and beyond. (Dr. Strange Records #16)

RHYTHM COLLISION - Clobberer LP
30 years to the date, The Doc opens the punk rock vault to re-release this classic. This time around it has four bonus songs never released on vinyl before. Remastered by Jim Monroe (Gameface, Farside, The Grabbers, The Stitches, Cadillac Tramps, etc). They've toured back and forth several times though out the U.S. as well as Europe and shared the stage with bands before they were even known: Green Day, Jawbreaker, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Big Drill Car, Sublime, Bad Religion, and countless others. Friends since elementary school, Harlan, Corey and Tony are back baby! All originals and playing gigs once again across the U.S.A. Clobberer - it's a musical knuckle sandwich. You'll beg for more! (Dr. Strange Records #39)

(restock) ALVILDA - C'est Deja L'heure LP
It has been three and a half long years since Parisian four-piece ALVILDA released the Negatif 7" on Alien Snatch. They have been playing gigs but there has been no sign of recorded material. Now they finally return with their debut album for Static Shock Records and without doubt it's a stonewall classic. Every minute, every inch and every song is lean, locked in and upbeat with a tight and bright production. If you love 60's girl pop but with a late 70's power pop edge or Indie pop that has been raised on a diet of tuneful punk rock, then ALVILDA will be your new favourite band, just like DOLLY MIXTURE were, just like CHIN CHIN were and just like LES CALAMITES were. The album is just under 30 minutes and it never lets up with quality and tunes that get stuck in your head. Not being able to speak a word of French is not a hindrance, as all the songs are instant and catchy. Alvilda is here to stay, and it's time already. (Static Shock Records #120)

BOYS IN BANDS: A COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE NINETIES HARDCORE SCENE book by Vique Martin
A collection of pictures from the hardcore scene in the '90s - capturing the essence of an era that was an exceptionally special time and place to be a part of. Incredible music and a unique subculture - before the internet changed it all. Featuring photographs of boys who were in (or went on to be in) Refused, Rage Against The Machine, Texas Is The Reason, Turbonegro, Unbroken, Swing Kids, Chamberlin, The Locust, Kill Holiday, and The Promise Ring. 12" x 12", softcover, 52 pages. (Simba Records #30)

BODYWEB - Deadwired LP/CD/cassette tape (white with black splatter vinyl)
Nu-hardcore quintet Bodyweb is the sound of someone's nervous system on the verge of breakdown - hyperactive, tormented, and unflinchingly vulnerable. What began as late-night jams between Louis Hardy (Higher Power, Big Cheese, Fate) and Ben Jones (Pest Control) eventually mutated into "train_wreck_simulation," a debut EP filled with frantic breakdowns and nu-metal swag that felt like the soundtrack to a digital exorcism. Bodyweb's second EP is a violent thesis on connection and pain that sends Hardy's unfiltered vocals through heaven and hell. Vinyl version includes digital download and a silkscreened B-side. (Flatspot Records #86)

SLOPPY SECONDS - Play With Yer Records!!!É Mistakes & Piss-Takes: Vol 1 LP
Sloppy Seconds emerges with a collection of unreleased material, B-sides, remastered demos, mistakes, and piss-takes. "Play With Yer Records..." includes six new, never-released tracks as well as a collection of odd-ball and hard-to-find stuff as well. (Puke N Vomit Records #246)

DISCHARGE - Warning: The Singles 1983 to 1985 LP
RELEASE DATE: 9/12/25. This full-length documents the point where Discharge took their innovative, heavy hardcore punk style, which lit the fuse for hundreds of bands throughout the world and years to make their own racket, and went more towards a metal direction with it. This showcases the singles and EPs from 1983 to 1985 consisting of "Warning, Her Majesty's Government Can Seriously Damage Your Health," "The Price Of Silence," "The More I See," and "Ignorance," including the extended versions. This is the bridge from "State Control" to "A Grave New World." (Puke N Vomit Records #178)

Descriptions for 8/30/25

DESTROY - Necropolis LP
Originally released in 1994 on Sound Pollution Records and out of print on vinyl since, this was the final release by Minneapolis' Destroy. Recorded after the band's six-week 1993 tour, it captures the power and energy of the early 90's DIY hardcore scene exploding at that time. Destroy formed in 1989 and was a part of the worldwide movement from 1980's hardcore punk towards more fast and extreme music. Destroy had roots in the radical Anarcho-Punk scene and integrated elements of Fastcore, Crust, and Grindcore into a powerful and heavy hardcore sound with a driving political message. Emerging from the same radical punk milieu as the Profane Existence Collective and bands like Disrupt, Doom, Extreme Noise Terror, and Nausea the band mixed powerful music with political protest and social commentary. Some of the lyrics may have at one time seemed a bit dated but sadly, given the state of the world today, many could be about current events. Due to the original recording going over the time booked in the studio, it had to be mixed later at another studio with different engineer leading to a mix that wasn't as heavy as originally envisioned. This remastered release gives it the heavier sound the band had originally intended to achieve. New cover artwork by Tim Tanker re-imagines the original concept of "Necropolis" a city of the dead, or better put, a city of brain-dead zombies whose minds are captured by a corrupt system and robbed of their freedom. (Havoc Records #1260)

DESTROY - Total Fucking Chaos 1989 to 1994 LP
This LP compiles all the non-LP studio tracks by Minneapolis' Destroy. Like many of their 90's DIY peers, Destroy spread their output among several 7"s, split 7"s and compilations to try to release as many tracks to as wide an audience as possible, then culminating their recording careers with their capstone 1994 LP, Necropolis. This release compiles the Total Fucking Chaos 7", Burn This Racist System Down 7", split 7"s with Disrupt and Disturb and compilation tracks. Destroy started in the late 80's influenced by Anarcho-Punk bands like Discharge and Varukers but over time, as the Crust and Grindcore scenes exploded worldwide, the band incorporated aspects of these more extreme trajectories of hardcore to create their own unique sound. The band toured in 1990 and 1993 playing with contemporaries like Disrupt, Nausea, Dropdead, Capitalist Casualties and Napalm Death. The first 7" Total Fucking Chaos was originally released on Relapse and the second 7" Burn This Racist System Down was the first release on Havoc Records. Destroy reformed with the original 1993 line up to play a 50th birthday party and it went so well the band decided to play a handful of reunion gigs and re-issue these classic ragers. (Havoc Records #1261)

LIFE ENDER - Arizona LP
Comprised of a veteran lineup of the Phoenix underground including members of Gay Kiss, Get Destroyed, Destruction Unit, and many more, Life Ender is a relentless slamming hardcore assault, drenched with hostility of the sun-baked hellscape that is Arizona. (King of the Monsters Records #77)

SLEEPING BODY/VOICE OF REASON/SUICIETY - 1992. LPx3
In the early 1990's there were three Fort Worth, Texas bands who shared a hardcore punk scene, close friendships, and a desire to change the world around them. Sleeping Body, Voice of Reason, and Suiciety all released influential records during that explosively creative time, and built lasting legacies for fans of impassioned political hardcore in the generations to come. This 3xLP is a retrospective collecting each bands long out-of-print 7"s, along with demo and live recordings that have mostly been unavailable until now. Co-release with Protagonist Music. (King of the Monsters Records #73/Protagonist Records #105)

GENTLEMAN JESSE - I Wonder If You Would Even Notice: Singles And Rarities LP
One of the brighter stars from the mid-oughties, an era when power pop was on the rise among punks and the Pitchfork crowd alike, Gentleman Jesse burst onto the scene in 2006 with their first single, "I Don't Wanna Know (Where You Been Tonight)." Sporting the Carbonas' rhythm section as well as their rough-and-ready DIY approachÐvia drummer Dave RahnÐ,Gentleman Jesse conjures comparisons to the Nerves in how they filter drama and desperation through pop sensibilities. Also like the Nerves, Gentleman Jesse writes upbeat, breezy numbers that are best blasted on the car stereo at 80 miles per hour. This album tracks the first five years of the group's progress across 16 songs, from early demos to a string of punchy, danceable singles. The guitars may not be distorted, but, far from being saccharine or kitschy, Gentleman Jesse is truly more POWER than POP. Each record features a layout chock full of photos from the first half a decade of existence with liner notes by the Gentleman himself. (Beach Impediment #85)

WARRIOR KIDS - Ultras De Marseille LP
Warrior Kids formed in 1983 and are one of, if not the longest running French punk/Oi! bands that are still active to this day. Although the band has had line-up changes due various reasons these guys are, as you can say, living legends that are still able to write and record incredible songs. With some early releases fetching top dollar on line for collectors and fans, Warrior Kids have released 8 studio LPs along with numerous singles and EPs, live albums and compilation appearances. With 'Ultras De Marseille', this 12" EP is a pre-cursor to a new full-length planned for early 2026 and the title track pays homage to their hometown football (soccer) team and their fans. Added to that is another rocking streetpunk anthem and 2 reggae songs to demonstrate the connection to their roots of original skinhead culture. As a single-sided 12", the b-side is screen-printed with the bands logo, all in the blue and white colours of the Olympique Marseille football club. This is truly a release for the die-hard fans and vinyl collectors out there. Don't miss out! (Longshot Records #32)

ELLIOTT - Song In The Air LP (green marble vinyl)
"Song In The Air" is Elliott's third full-length album, originally released in 2003. Elliott's songs glow, spiral around, get messed up, come back home, get really sad, get worked up, fight against melancholy, are pissed off... they are "alive." "Song In The Air" is the first record that Elliott made with the addition of Benny Clark on guitar and Jason Skaggs on bass. New pressing now available on green marble vinyl. (Revelation Records #116)

END IT - Wrong Side Of Heaven LP/CD/cassette tape (koi pond colored vinyl)
Baltimore, MD's End It is telling it like it is on their debut album, "Wrong Side Of Heaven." The hardcore band has built a reputation through being unapologetically outspoken, playing fast, ripping songs, and putting on an electrifying live show. Now they're ready to enter their next era. Vinyl version includes digital download. (Flatspot Records #85)

LARD - Pure Chewing Satisfaction LP (black vinyl)
Lard's "Pure Chewing Satisfaction" is the second landmark album of the industrial-hardcore collision between the vocals of Jello Biafra with the patented wall-of-noise assault and studio wizardry of Ministry founders Paul Barker and Al Jourgensen. Originally released in 1997, "Pure Chewing Satisfaction" is a dark, frightening look at everything wrong in America, and it rings as true now as it ever has. A must have for fans of Jello Biafra's work and of Ministry; the result remains another classic release from this legendary collaboration. (Alternative Tentacles Records #199)

PLANET ON A CHAIN - Ritual Routine LP (milky clear) (Pre-order)
RELEASE DATE: 10/3/25. Once a band whose notoriety rested heavily on the "members of" angle, Planet On A Chain has become a mainstay of the Revelation Records roster. With two LPs and an LP's worth of re-recorded demo material already available, Planet On A Chain delivers a new dose of fast, politically fueled hardcore punk that is as relevant now as ever. For fans of Torso, Tear It Up, Minor Threat, and Youth Of Today. On milky clear vinyl. (Revelation Records #219)

SCALP - Not Worthy Of Human Compassion LP
Coining the phrase "West Coast death violence" as a tagline for your band is as intimidating as it is ballsy, considering the long list of heavy-music gods that have influenced legions. With "Not Worthy Of Human Compassion," the band's third full-length and latest for the venerable Closed Casket Activities, Scalp returns to the catchy, vein-bulging nihilism that marked their debut, "Domestic Extremity," adding in the technicality found on the follow-up, "Black Tar." Featuring 13 new tracks clocking in under 20 minutes, Scalp's grip tightens around the neck until the knuckles go white, emblematic of classic tension and release found on blistering classics like Dystopia's "Human = Garbage," Terrorizer's "World Downfall," and Rotten Sound's "Exit." (Closed Casket Activities #147)

Descriptions for 8/16/25

DESTRUCT - Echoes of Life LP
After two years of DESTRUCT's debut LP, "Echoes of Life" being out of print, we decided it was time to make it available again! The last pressing in 2022 went quick, and after two years, a second full length ("Cries the Mocking Mother Nature"), a live LP, a compilation appearance ("Screaming Death" 4-way split LP) a split LP with Japan's LiFE ("To Stop the Confilct" LP), we saw no reason why "Echoes of Life" should not be ready available with the rest of them! This new pressing is 300 copies on LIGHT PURPLE VINYL with a brand new oversized 23"x33" poster insert / lyric sheet. (Grave Mistake Records #82)

SUBVERSIVE RITE - Apocalypse Zone LP
"Apocalypse Zone" is the long-awaited, second album and final offering from NYC hardcore punks, SUBVERSIVE RITE. Recorded in 2022, these twelve tracks document the band at the peak of their collective creativity and songwriting. Initially beginning as a more straight forward, early 80's UKHC-inspired political hardcore band, "Apocalypse Zone" captures Sub Rite expanding their songwriting further, embracing more heavy metal influences while still maintaining their totally punk delivery. All copies come with a large fold-out poster of the full, uncropped sleeve art by guitarist and artist, Joe B. FFO: Varukers, Sacrilege, Detente, & English Dogs. (Grave Mistake Records/Acute Noise Manufacture #3)

NEGATIVE CHARGE - s/t LP
What we have here is a 12" slice of abject ferocity. Filled out with members of every good Winnipeg Punk band from the last 2 decades, Negative Charge have concocted one hell of a debut. This masterclass of Hardcore Punk has Frankensteined the sinew, spit and muscle from some of the most monstrous entities of the genre that walked before it. You'll recognize the octopus tentacles that provided the impossible drumming on Is This My World. You'll freeze in awe with the quality of riffing that culminated in War All The Time. You'll recognize that same hunched silhouette dragging bloody knuckles down the alleyways of the Bowery in 1983. This is the same quality of heart and energy that hardened the steel in steel city circa 2015. But this is Winnipeg 2025 and the monster she created will not be contained. Know that this is no cash-in sequel to those aforementioned greats. This is no hyperbolic blow-hard bullshit. I dare you to try and prove me wrong. One of us will die on this hill and if Negative Charge is my sound track it won't be me. Winnipeg Hardcore Now. Winnipeg Hardcore Forever. (Neon Taste Records #50)

THE SLITS - Live At The Gibus Club LP
The Slits' Live at the Gibus Club is pure, unfiltered chaos. Recorded in Paris on 26 January l978, it captures the band at their wildest-raw, untamed, and ready to explode. Just l4 years old, Ari-Up howls through "So Tough," "Love and Romance," and "Shoplifting" like she's starting a riot. Palmolive (drums), Viv Albertine (guitar), and Tessa Pollitt (bass) slash and pound through a jagged, off-the-rails set that feels like it could collapse at any moment. The crowd is tense, the banter is sharp, and the energy is electric. This isn't just a live album-it's a time capsule of pure punk fury. Essential. (Radiation Records #227)

THE FUZZTONES - The Fuzztones Vs. The World LPx2 + 7"
By resurrecting a long forgotten musical idiom, which had only existed for a scant two years to begin with, known as the "Gurus of garage grunge" since their inception in 1980, they predated the Seattle grunge scene by ten years! 2025 will mark the band's 45 year anniversary. Their fiery brand of garage-psych punk has influenced hundreds pf groups, from the Hives to the Horrors. With the advent of Danny Garcia's new documentary "The Fuzztones Vs. The World," the time has come to celebrate this legendary band. Bonus 7" EP included. (Radiation Records #280)

F.Y.P. - Finish Your Popcorn LP
Originally released in 1992 on Recess Records, now back on vinyl for the first time since its original run. Led by Todd Congelliere (Toys That Kill, Underground Railroad to Candyland), this lo-fi classic tears through fifteen tracks of raw, snotty, ultra-catchy punk rock that helped define the Recess sound. Fast, bratty, and unmistakably DIY, a true staple of early '90s West Coast punk. Essential listening for fans of hooks, heart, and maximum fuzz. (Radiation Records/Hey Suburbia Records #54)

NIKKI AND THE CORVETTES - Honey Bop!/Shake It UP 7"
This high-energy 7" single by Nikki and the Corvettes features two bubblegum-punk anthems: the infectious "Honey Bop!" on the A-side and the raw, rockin' "Shake It Up" on the flip. Originally released by the legendary Bomp! Records, this release captures the band's signature blend of Ramones-style punk, girl-group harmonies, and '60s garage pop swagger. Now reissued to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bomp! Records, this edition pays tribute to the label's pivotal role in shaping garage rock, power pop, and punk over five decades. Essential for collectors and fans of proto-punk and underground pop. (Radiation Records #71013)

SONIC DOLLS - Maximumsonicdoll LP (colored vinyl)
Cover painting by none other than Dee Dee Ramone, Paul Kostabi, and Jesse Bates (2001). A previously unreleased album by the SONIC DOLLS from Germany at their most energetic-MAXIMUMSONICDOLL! Recorded at their peak in 2000, only a few tracks saw the light of day on compilations and various 7" releases at the time. This is a hard-hitting punk rockalbum in every sense the missing link between centuries in your Sonic Dolls collection or punk rock history itself. Includes a 60x60 cm poster. (Radiation Records/Hey Suburbia Records #52)

LAZY COWGIRLS - Tapping The Source LP
LIMITED EDITION COLOR VINYL. The Lazy Cowgirls' Tapping The Source is a raw, high-octane blast of punk rock energy from the heart of Los Angeles, brought back on vinyl to celebrate BOMP! RECORDS' 50th anniversary. Packed with gritty anthems and unapologetic attitude, this album captures the heart and soul of a band that lived and breathed the DIY ethos. Originally released in 1987, it's a defining moment for the band, a record that embodies the sweat-soaked, beer-stained glory of the L.A. punk scene. (Radiation Records/Hey Suburbia Records #48)

BUSTER SHUFFLE - Naked LP (colored vinyl)
No frills. No filters. Just Buster Shuffle, "Naked" - loud, sharp, and stripped back to the bone. Jet Baker and the crew kick downthe door with a record that's equal parts pub fight and piano ballad. This is the band at their rawest: No fake smiles. No studio gloss. Just chaos, melody, and a wink from across the bar. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll spill your pint. And you'll bloody love it. (Radiation Records/Hey Suburbia Records #53)

BUSTER SHUFFLE - Do Nothing LP (colored vinyl)
Born in a cold London pub, fuelled by beer and bad decisions - Buster Shuffle crashed the scene with piano-smashing ska and zero apologies. "Do Nothing" isn't just a record - it's a riot. Cameos? Try Mickey Gallagher (The Clash!), Roddy Radiation (The Specials!!), Ian Catskilkin (Art Brut!!!), and Wag (Infadels!!!!). This ain't just knees-up ska anymore. Love. Life. Divorce. Squeaky toys. Proper English chaos. (Radiation Records/Hey Suburbia Records #52)

EXTREME NOISE TERROR - Phonophobia LP (colored vinyl)
Poster included. If phonophobia can be defined as an overall fear of sound - what better band can you think of than crustcore titans Extreme Noise Terror to deliver such a fear as though kicking us down a shoot that leads to a lifetime sentence in Room 101. The album contains the band at their best, which sounds and feels like the worst thing you've ever encountered on earth: bolt-sputtering vocals on Pray To Be Saved and Self-Decay. Grim guitars groan as they gut the intestines from one's malnourished belly for a final meal on Knee Deep in Shit and Moral Bondage. Rhythms that emerge from nowhere like fleets of demonic hailstone with drywall nails in place of the hail on Third World Genocide. Only a classic band like Extreme Noise Terror can have so much influence, yet by comparison of that influence, such little musical output can sound like being cracked apart and smashed together in equally, exhilaratingly evil measures. (Radiation Records #233)

CRYPTOPSY - Blasphemy Made Flesh LP
Cryptopsy's 1994 debut, Blasphemy Made Flesh, is a raw yet lethal foundation for what would later become None So Vile. Even in its early form, the band defines technical death metal, with Flo Mounier's drumming already a relentless force. The guitar work stands out, weaving unexpected melody into the chaos, while the bass, though prominent, doesn't quite match the weight of its successor. And as always, Lord Worm's vocals are a monstrous presence, cementing the album's brutal and unhinged energy. (Radiation Records/Horror Biz Records #6)

LAST RESORT - Strength Through ROI - Rare Tracks 1981-1984 LP
Rare tracks compilation from the legendary UK OI! band the Last Resort featuring tracks recorded between 1980 and 1982 including the tracks from their seminal 'Violence In Our Minds' cassette single with Graham Saxby on vocals and their contributions to the national chart compilations "Strength Thru Oi!", "Carry On Oi!" and "Oi! Oi! That's Yer Lot". A major influence on the hardcore and punk scene, the LAST RESORT are still led by vocalist Roi Pearce to this day and they also feature Rancid guitarist Lars Frederiksen. Printed inner-sleeve, poster, and limited-edition postcard included. (Radiation Records #259)

AGNOSTIC FRONT - First Warning: The United Blood Era Recordings, New York City 1983 cassette tape
Controversial East Coast punk band Agnostic Front were lynchpins of the New York hardcore scene. Formed in 1982 by former Eliminators guitarist Vinnie Stigma along with vocalist John Watson, drummer Rob Crib Crash and bassist Diego, the band went through several other early members to settle on Vinnie Stigma, bassist Adam Mucci, drummer Raybeez and Cuban-born singer Roger Miret for these recordings. Often misunderstood in their early days due largely to their majority skinhead following and the shock imagery of their record covers, the group carved out its reputation in the dilapidated Lower East Side of Manhattan, then blighty by poverty, drugs, violence and high levels of urban decay. The recordings featured on this incendiary compilation date from the very start of their recording career, beginning with the demos that led to their debut seven-inch release, the self-issued "United Blood" EP, bolstered by other recordings from the period that were left unissued at the time; some of the material included here later appeared on the Raw And Unleased CD, but several songs are appearing on vinyl here for the very first time. Agnostic Front went on to reign supreme on the New York hardcore scene throughout the 1980s and although later recordings once again saw membership changes that brought a shift in style to include thrash-metal crossover elements, their longevity and high standing is such that they were featured on Showtime's "The Godfathers of Hardcore" documentary, ultimately leading to Roger Miret's recently released autobiography, My Riot. (Radiation Records #110 TP)

ANCIENT RAGE - s/t LP (white vinyl)
Whiskey fueled, motor charged street metal rock n roll from Oakland California. Phil geck of monster squad on vocals. Aggressive and powerful vocals over intense metal punk with guitar leads reminiscent of Japanese hardcore like GISM. Big motor head influence and literally checks every box off for music listeners, it's for the punks, metal heads, rockers and hardcore guys/gals. (Dismantled Records #19)

IMPACT DRIVER - The Hustle And Muscle LP
Philadelphia tough as nails Oi! With bursts of skinhead( sharp) hardcore. A few anthems and a few brutal bangers and even an unlisted hidden track "9 to5" great balance of American Oi! And hardcore. (Dismantled Records #18)

UNWANTED NOISE - Bury Me On The South Shore LP
Canadian street punk with much more matured songwriting and lyrics. Topics have shifted from beer and chaos and now focus on mental health issues and friendships. 2 guitarists now offer a wall of sound. As solid as it gets for their style. (Dismantled Records #14)

COPYRIGHT CHAOS - Appetite for Intoxication LP
Uk82 inspired street punk from Connecticut, fast n loud. 2006 CD only release brought to vinyl in late 2023. Limited to 266 copies. Highlighter clear vinyl. (Dismantled Records #11)

HOLEHOG/B SIDE - To Have And Hold LP (one sided)
Sacramento's punk darlings Holehog rips a fresh new record 'To Have and to Hold' - a raw, gritty sonic attack with politically-charged lyrics of disdain towards what is real and hollow in the American dream. Individualistic yet humanistic, this release roars as energetically and furiously as the band's known live performances. This release introduces B-Side, one of many projects written and recorded in a cave by Bryan Lothian of A Global Threat, from Boston. Technically proficient as always with attainable hardcore/punk best summarized in Bryan's opening lyrics: "You be you and I'll be me." (Dismantled Records #13)

CRIME TIME - Let There Be Crime LP
Pnw hardcore punk blistering guitar work and boat load of vocals. Vocals don't sound like Conflict but the amount of lyrical bursts remind me of Conflict. Darkened by the abyss which is Washington State. (Dismantled Records #9)

OI!L CHANGE - Unfinished LP
A very fun 3 piece group of our Grand Rapids Michigan. Anthemic tunes with punchy bass lines and simplistic drumming. Maximum rock n roll deemed it to be "street punk lite." Bonus unlisted oxymoron track at the end of the album. (Dismantled Records #10)

AGNOSTIC FRONT/GORILLA BISCUITS/SICK OF IT ALL - Live In N.Y.C. '91 - split LP
January 19, 1991, The Superbowl Of Hardcore at the Ritz in New York City: the filming of an iconic home video highlighting the New York hardcore scene is taking place. It featured NYHC heavyweights Agnostic Front, Sick Of It All, and Gorilla Biscuits. Now for the first time ever, the "Live In N.Y.C. '91" video is getting a re-release on vinyl courtesy of Static Era Records. (Static Era Records #1302)

Descriptions for 8/9/25

CRUELSTER - Make Them Wonder Why LP
CONVR91 is a massive new LP from Cleveland's Cruelster, Make Them Wonder Why. The alternate reality of Cruelster is complete, distinct, and elaborate. Cruelster and associated bands like Knowso and Perverts Again have long drawn our ear with their brilliant and uncanny punk. This record is an odyssey. It offers documentation and imagination. It satisfies the stranger parts of living. (Convulse Records #91)

SKITSYSTEM - Allt E Skit LP
Back in print for the first time since 2010 with new cover artwork. This release compiles all the out of print early Skitsystem material. The essential early recordings from 1995-1998 are here, the Profithysteri 7", split 7" with Wolfpack and the Ondskans Askinte 10". These are the most raw and brutal Skitsystem recordings in the classic 80's Swedish hardcore tradition of Anti Cimex, Crude SS, Asocial and Avskum with just the right amount of Swedish Death metal influence. (Havoc Records #1220)

KEROSENE 454 - At Zero LP (galaxy swirl vinyl)
Originally released in 1998 on Slowdime Records, Kerosene 454's third and final full length album At Zero, is now back in print after 27 years. It has been completely remastered from the original tapes by Dan Coutant at Sunroom Audio in Cornwall, NY. In the fall of 1997 after touring with Boys Life, the band went into Inner Ear Studios to record At Zero with Don Zientara, J. Robbins (Jawbox, Magpie Cage Studio), and Juan Carrera (The Warmers, Slowdime Records co-founder). The album came together at a crossroads where a shifting D.C. scene, evolving musical interests, and broader cultural changes all collided; all of which shaped the writing and recording of the album. Whereas earlier records tried to faithfully recreate their live sound, At Zero found the band letting go and allowing the studio to become part of the process. They even invited others to play on the songs. (Solid Brass Records #21)

REGULATOR WATTS - Mercury LP (coke bottle clear vinyl)
The Mercury LP by Regulator Watts builds on the Washington, D.C. punk band's debut 4-song EP, adding assorted odds and ends recorded between 1996 and 1997. In 1998 Slowdime Records released all this material as The Mercury CD and in 2017 BCore Records in Spain released it on vinyl. We're excited to finally release their music domestically, both digitally and on limited edition colored vinyl, for the first time ever. Includes updated and enhanced artwork by Jason Farrell, reverse board printed jacket with black inner flood, and a lyric sheet with never before seen image of the band by Pat Graham. (Solid Brass Records #18)

PERRO MUNDO - Demo cassette tape
Two tracks of Midwestern hardcore punk from this new/not so new outfit. Anyone who knows Midwest HC, knows that it historically tends to go against the grain to what the flavors of the month are (Articles of Faith, Die Kreuzen, Husker Du). (Extinction Burst Records #3070 TP)

EN LA MUERTE - Anti Todo cassette tape
L.A.s EN LA MUERTE is picking where they left off after their brilliant 7" EP "Silencio". Titled +ANTI TODO," this new EP brings four new tracks of nihilistic hardcore punk. Think if Decline of the Western Civilization was transported to 2025 and the only way these kids could get back home was to sell their soul to punk. (Extinction Burst Records #2968 TP)

SAVIOUR COMPLEX - Penance & Loathing 7"
Emotional hardcore trio out of Moorpark, CA. Penance & Loathing marks their sophomore release on Extinction Burst. ??(Extinction Burst Records #1766)

6 Song E.P. O.C. hardcore played by the youth like only they can. No FFO list needed. Just listen and figure it out! GO YES GO!!!! Recorded mixed and mastered by Brad Racine at Local Man studios. (Extinction Burst Records #3171 TP)

IGNORANTES - Las Promesas Que te Hacemos te las Puedes Meter Por El Culo 7''
On this 7" we see Ignorantes taking a departure from their usual raw and noisy tupa-tupa style that made waves across the world, and delivering 2 songs that are totally rooted in a catchy mix of 70s punk, Oi, and even incorporating a keyboard, reminiscent of some of the more outsider KBD era singles. A brilliant record that doesn't sit firmly in any one style, defies trends and proves there's not really anything Ignorantes can't excel at. Fans of Mexican bands like Dangerous Rhythm, Chilean skinheads Ocho Bolas, or any early Spanish language punk should find this irresistible. (General Speech Records #40) FRIGORA - Fullstandig Frigorelse LP
Complete studio discography by this band who unleashed a total hardcore attack on Tokyo from 1995-1999. Where peers like Gloom, Life, and Collapse Society borrowed heavily from the crust end of the spectrum, Frigora tapped into the raw and fast style of Swedish hardcore bands of the 80s like Mob 47, taking it to the next level with a power and ferocity that is still unmatched, paving the way for other noisy Swedish inspired bands like Ferocious X. Includes their self-titled 7", Split 7" with Diskonto,"Dance of the Plague Bearer 12", 3 unreleased tracks, and a booklet reproducing the art and lyrics from all the original releases. (General Speech Records #17)

HELL - Submersus LP/CD/cassette tape
Limited edition black/clear red swirl colored vinyl with A1 poster (extremely limited undisclosed amount worldwide - direct label retail item not wholesaled or distributed) or standard black vinyl edition (without poster) inside a matte laminated gatefold sleeve with black flood inside the pocket, black poly lined inner sleeves, and download card. After eight long years Sentient Ruin orchestrates the towering return of Hell to the full-length release format through the monumental achievement of its fifth official album "Submersus", a masterwork of scope and vision that is destined to immortalize the legacy and magnitude of the project's unparalleled immensity and imagination. In yet another feat of unrivaled auditory heaviness which will further cement his status of visionary, MSW takes the listener once again deep into the darkest abysses of inner turmoil and personal struggle, reaffirming the Oregon musician's inscrutable and unique ability to transform emotional torment into a masterclass of crushing sonic burden. Across its five abysmal movements "Submersus" recaptures the unfair and woeful essence of life which has driven the project from its inception almost twenty years ago, embodying the affliction that shapes human existence as it's perpetually torn between ephemeral and fragile moments of respite, and their inexorable dissolution, as joy and hope are cyclically eclipsed and devoured back into the eternal storming vastness of circumstance and inevitability. Pessimism and resignation act as the inescapable tidal forces to this immense emotional abyss which implacably pulls all toward it, drawing life deep into the maelstrom where it's drowned under its own weight and implodes into the lightless crush-depth of unending sorrow and despondency. (Sentient Ruin Laboratories #250)

(restock) ALIENATOR- Meatlocker LP
After a demo, a couple of 7"s and several notorious shows around the U.S.A., Black Water is proud to release the hardest sounding LP of the year. Tough as nails hardcore thrash the way it should be. No song over 3 minutes, dive bombs all over the fucking place, riffage galore. Throw in some sick breakdowns, intense solo's a-plenty and the angriest vocals in PDX and you get this masterpiece of a lesson in violence. Live, they are known for creating an ungodly frenzy in the pit, often resulting in mangled bodies (check their video for "Senseless Violence"). With these 8 tracks being released for home listening, there's sure to be an epidemic of kids and adults alike destroying their own bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms and breaking bones stage diving off beds, counters or couches . Plain and simple, if you hear this record and it does not make your top 10 list for 2025, chances are you just don't like Hardcore, period. (Black Water Records #111)

HOME INVASION - s/t 7"

Descriptions for 8/2/25

LAME - Lo Que Extranas Ya No Existe LP
LAME is back with their sophomore record. Ten tracks of direct, pummeling and tortured Hardcore-Punk. While the musicianship on this record is superb, with every instrument being upfront, it is really the vocals and lyrics what push the songs to the edge. Sally's singing is manic, with very introspective lyrics, with a constant sense of hopelessness permeating through the entire record. Bringing to mind the almighty G.R.B. on the vocal and lyrical approach. Musically LAME is part CHAIN REACTION part the first D.I.R.T. EP, with hints of Midwest HC and Mediterranean Modern Punk. With a very driven bass, chainsaw guitar heavy on the fuzz tone and a very imaginative drummer. Without shadow of a doubt, this record fits right in with other Nuevo Sonido Balear greats. Recorded Halfway between Studio Impala Uno in Mallorca and Ramon's Bedroom in Berlin. The record comes in a reverse board sleeve with an obi, insert and extra poster. Artwork by Bernat Mundial with help from the rest of LAME. Poster by Nicky Rat. (La Vida Es Un Mus #328)

PASSION KILLERS - They Kill Our Passion With Their Hate And Wars LP
Passion Killers were from Barnsley, South Yorkshire and featured Dave Lentil, Daz White and Boffo. All three members were later, heavily involved in Chumbawamba but at the time of this demo Boff was already only on loan from Chumbawamba. This 1983 Demo was recorded in one day at Lion Studios, Leeds and features 11 melodic, simple, anarchist pop songs. The Band had already shared a split tape with Chumbawamba on Sky and Trees but this demo is the jewel in the crown of the Passion Killers recorded work. It features 'Start Again' which was released by Crass on 'Bullshit Detector 2'. The LP comes with a 16 page 11"x11" booklet featuring photos, lyrics, handouts, clippings and other stuff. First released 15 years ago on vinyl by Demo Tapes and resurrected now by Sealed Records. (La Vida Es Un Mus/Sealed Records #39)

RIPCORD - The Damage Is Done LP + Fanzine
Reissue of the debut RIPCORD flexi The Damage Is Done, that was originally released on their own Raging Records in 1986 for just 50p. This was there right at the start of mid 80's UK hardcore along with HERESY, CHAOS UK and EXTREME NOISE TERROR. Spread over nine tracks, RIPCORD absolute rage with a mix of US hardcore and dirty UK82 style punk. The cardboard box drum sound gives the recording a timeless feel, as the band rip, pull and thrash. It's raw, loose and unhinged UK hardcore at its finest. On the Side 1 you get the entire Flexi plus an unreleased version of Blind Eye which was recorded for a compilation that never happened and Single Ticket To Hell from the Manic Ears and Children of the Revolution Records DIGGING IN THE WATER compilation from 1987. Side 2 features a mixing desk live set recorded at the Captain's Cabin, Weston Super Mare, 3rd May 1986. Originally released as part of their VHS on MCR-UK. All tracks mastered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air. The record comes with a 16 page booklet. Layout by Will Kinser. (La Vida Es Un Mus #319)

ODD MAN OUT - Conviction LP
Odd Man Out began as an idea in 2008. The vision was modern hardcore meets Straight Ahead, Judge, and Confront, but quickly morphed into its own monster. "Conviction" is the first new recording from the band since 2019. Limited edition of 500 copies. (Indecision Records #210)

DAMNATION A.D. - No More Dreams Of Happy Endings LP
The 1995 classic brought back to wax in 2019 for the first time since it's initial release. Remastered with new artwork, but still crushing. Now available again on colored vinyl. (Over & Out Records #10)

DEATH SIDE - The Will Never Die LPx2 (shipping now!)
The official reissue of Tokyo's DEATH SIDE non-LP output. 40 tracks collecting Satisfy The Instinct 7" (1988), The Will Never Die 7" (1994) and All Is Here Now 7" (1994). Their compilation tracks from Smashing Odds Ness!! 8" (1987), Eye of The Thrash Guerrilla LP (1988), Hang the Sucker Vol.2 LP (1989), Game of Death LP (1989) and Starving Dog Eats Master LP (1991) as well as their tracks on the CHAOS UK split CD (1993) Starting up in the mid-80's DEATH SIDE, together with LIP CREAM, bridged the first and third wave of Japanese hardcore punk. Bringing to the stage new influences, and the brooding Japanese hardcore sound. By making something totally fresh, they forged the trademark sound most people think of when thinking of traditional Japanese hardcore. Their extremely fierce aesthetic, sound and attitude gained them a nearly mythical status. Following the Japanese tradition of bands organising their own gig nights, DEATH SIDE together with friends, created the legendary Burning Spirits concerts and tours, which saw every classic band of the era play, from LIP CREAM, CRUCK or BASTARD to SYSTEMATIC DEATH, or NIGHTMARE. This gig night gave their style a new name, which has been used broadly to describe contemporary Japanese Hardcore. By playing relentlessly all over the country they inspired a new generation of maniacs that ended up starting bands all over Japan. The band came to an end in 1995, and spurred another batch of classic bands like PAINTBOX, FORWARD or JUDGMENT. But that's a different story. The Double LP was re-mastered by Arthur Rizk, and comes in a gatefold sleeve designed by Ville Valavuo, it includes a 12-page booklet of band pictures and flyers as well as lyrics. The LP is dedicated to Chelsea, the original Guitarist who passed away in 2007. (La Vida Es Un Mus #307)

CULT CRIME - s/t LP
First footlong from this new Toronto group, featuring nine cuts of snarling, hard-nosed punk that recalls 1981 hardcore on both sides of the Atlantic, seasoning classic LA a la Adolescents/TSOL/pre-Henry Flag with a dash of primo Blitz. No mere genre exercise, these are tough but memorable songs delivered with hooks and skill. Red vinyl. (Ugly Pop Records #79)

BROZERKER - Stay Rad LP (blue vinyl with silk screened b-side)
Featuring members of Stretch Arm Strong, Wretched, and Guyana Punch Line, Brozerker is what would happen if Jeff Spicoli were to wing on over to Venice Beach, jam with Suicidal Tendencies to write songs inspired by Municipal Waste - after going on tour with the Beach Boys, who just scored a Motley Crue cassette. Brozerker was formed by Rabies and Dtox, two long time broz who spent way too much time together living in vans on tour. Drawing from their pile of stories, inside jokes, experiences, love of skateboarding, surfing, sippin' suds, punk rock, hardcore, and heavy metal, they started writing songs simply to make each other laugh and get stoked. There was only one rule; "no hassles". Songs flowed like a freshly tapped keg or a well designed skate park. The fun was so contagious that Johnny Good Times and Tiny joined the party. Blue one sided 12" with screen printed b-side. (Tor Johnson Records #68)

GIMIC - We Are Making A New World 7"
Gimic are back with three new songs so hot you could fry an egg on 'em. But just to be clear - there's no egg punk here. Kind of surprising, as there's elements of just about every other punk-adjacent genre - punk, hardcore, post punk, post hardcore, art punk. All of which Gimic mix up effortlessly with an urgency, groove and acidic aggro. There's no other band like them at the moment and this 7" is exemplary of that - it captures a band coming into their creative prime. Huge variety of songwriting, spot on vocals/lyrics (see We Are Making a New World) and exquisite musicianship packed into three blazing songs. If you want to see how a band can pack a sub two minute punk banger with a hoarde of hidden gems that will reveal themselves on each playback just check out the opening track Irrational Demographic. "If you're in any doubt whether to pick up this record or not, just ask yourself - is there any other band in the UK right now who are capable of juggling the choicest cuts of the Dischord and SST discographies with a Siege-like intensity? Nope - just Gimic!" (Crew Cuts Records #1)

TRUSTKILL: Fanzine Anthology book
8.5" x 11", softcover, 184 pages. Early-'90s hardcore fandom from upstate New York. This anthology collects all three issues of Trustkill Fanzine done by Josh Grabelle.

MSPAINT - No Separation LP
CONVR90 is MSPAINT's new 12" EP No Separation. No Separation refines and expands the trademark otherworldly synth punk from the band's 2023 debut LP Post-American. As always, MSPAINT shares a message of hope of connection in a world that tries to destroy both. (Convulse Records #90)

FILTH - Time to Rot LP
Promising total rotten malignancy with the superb visuals of this record, before you hear a note; you know this will be a gruesome listen. Fouling the air with a disturbing ambience, the disquiet of this record leads into a gloomy and sepulchral yet bludgeoning offering of death metal. Abhorrent riffing and ghastly vocals mold together in foul fashion atop powerful drums. Each gritty detail has a lot of force behind it and the band instantly puts a butcher's hook through your flesh that keeps pulling you in for more fetid ferocity. This type of mid-tempo, groove-laden death metal has seen a lot of strong acts in the last decade or so and Filth are clearly going to be one of those names that stand out with their memorably intoxicating and putrescent soundscapes of decay. For half an hour churning bubonic guitars and guttural snarls possess you while brutal drums keep your neck cranking along to the rotten feast of death metal. This is an absolutely crushing listen that fans of the old school will definitely adore. Unpolished, unfriendly and unwavering; Filth set out to concoct a disgusting debut LP and they have certainly excelled in this endeavour. Your skull will be stamped into mulch, spilling into the catacombs below. Each stringy ligament of musicality is absolutely grotesque from start to end. Feeling like a singular fluid experience, each song is a statement to true death metal reigning supreme. The time to rot is upon us... (Me Saco Un Ojo Records #192)

DECRYPTAL - Simulacre LP
Drawn out passages of charnel guitars and battering drums showcase a superbly classic take on death metal with mean-spirited vocals snarling through the abyssal mix. The atmospheric and yet savagely punchy instruments have a thick and well executed production that allows the meatiness of the record to be really felt. Each contorting riff feels organic and the drums vary plentifully. This is the kind of cavernously gruesome death metal that manages to stand out from the crowd with interesting songwriting and unique flares such as the occasional off-kilter bass line or drum fill. If you're interested in hearing some magnificent old school death metal with buckets of atmosphere but also its own personality, Decryptal satisfies those needs. As you continue with this eldritch abomination of extremity, each track will spellbind you with an endless array of killer riffing, bone-crushing grooves and tastefully sparse leads. Clever hooks lead into total frenzy and then the doom gets cranked up to ensure you're never left bored on this volatile record. But most importantly, the creative flow makes sense, there isn't any jarring jumps or skittish playing - only pure rotten death metal that dares to walk its own pathway down into the crypts of the 90s and leaves with an unrecognised corpse thrown over its shoulders. Decryptal will bury you and you will love it... (Me Saco Un Ojo Records #197)

LA ISLA ELECTRONICA - s/t 7"
Debut vinyl release by Portland's LA ISLA ELECTRONICA. Four tracks of Cold Wave Synth Punk with female vocals in Spanish. (Distort Records #30)

G*U*N*N - G*U*N*N LP
After what seems like an eternity, the long fabled G*U*N*N LP is here! Fourteen So. Cal punk tracks that respect the old school. It's hard to make a nearly perfect record and, like it or not, this is it. What needs to be said about G*U*N*N? Sometimes they're on flyers and don't show up. Sometimes they do and they play punk music. This is a good record and you know it, just buy it... Hardcore and punk rock, moshing, skating, and partying. It's 2025 and World War 3 is around the corner. G*U*N*N rules ok? (Going Underground Records #60)

THE SMOG - Speed Of Life/New Game 7"
The Smog continues to lead the way of the new wave of Japan's forever shining Punk scene...the band returns with a new single and some of their best songs yet. If you were lucky enough to see them on the West Coast or Gonerfest last year you'll be stoked. One time Pressing of 500 copies. All copies have a red obi strip, covers are printed in Japan...vinyl pressed in the USA. Some might say a union made in heaven. (Going Underground Records #59)

EROSION/ALTERED DEAD - split cassette tape
Vancouver's EROSION return with their first release since 2018's "Maximum Suffering" LP (Hydra Head Records). Expect more suffocating and grinding d-beat hardcore and twisted melodies in the early Martyrdod vein. Erosion are sharing a release with Victoria's doomiest and most crushing death metal band, ALTERED DEAD who have been steadily becoming more raw and brutal in the OSDM vein with each new track as evidenced on their most recent 2021 full length "Returned To Life" (Momento Mori). New material from both bands. (Mechanized Apparatus #2 TP)

BLEACHED CROSS - s/t LP (red and blue vinyl)
Blood seeps into the stone, and darkness emerges. Bleached Cross embrace this darkness; conjuring those parts of life to transform them through their songs as rituals. Evoking the aggression of screamo and hardcore through a lens of post punk, dark wave, and shoegaze, their infectious drum beats and pop hooks intertwine between reverb soaked guitars and distorted synth pads creating something both ethereal and unrelenting. A grim alchemy that proves there is beauty in darkness, and catharsis in its release. (Protagonist Records #73.5)

SPIRITKILLER - s/t LP (blue and yellow vinyl w/ etched b-side)
Coming together in late 2022, Albany, NY based hardcore band Spiritkiller quickly became known for their infectious, groove laden riffs and energetic live performances. Weaving together the razor sharp aggression of bands like 108 and Snapcase with flourishes of post hardcore by way of acts like Quicksand and Refused, Spiritkiller updates this sound in a way that still preserves the passion and impact of that source material. A little over a year after their debut EP, the band completed writing and recording their 8 song self-titled LP. This release showcases the band's signature sound with songs that harken back to the heyday of innovation and experimentation in the hardcore sound, while reifying the ethics and message of personal empowerment notable in the subculture of that era. For fans new and old, Spiritkiller is here to bridge the gap between past and present and add their voice to the chorus of others helping to redefine hardcore in the current moment. Pressed as a one-sided LP on beautiful multi-colored vinyl with an etched B-side. (Protagonist Records #101)

ACADEMY ORDER - A New Kind of Fear deluxe CD
Since 2021, Academy Order have been honing their sound through various releases and live incarnations, expertly showcasing elements of death rock, punk, new wave, and even hardcore in a sonic amalgamation that is uniquely their own, while remaining just familiar enough to keep heads nodding. Now they surge forth with a debut album, unleashing "A New Kind of Fear" to solidify an approach that touches nerves both lyrically and musically via counterpoints of aggression and melody not so commonly coupled in the broad genre of post-punk. The deliciously cold attack of driving guitars and Matthew's demanding vocals weighed against synth lines straight from the 80's dance floor and Norelle's angelic vocal hooks bring the shadowy rhythm of the whole album to halting depths and infectious heights. Though far from derivative, fans of seminal acts such as 45 Grave, Clan of Xymox, and TSOL may find themselves moving just as readily as those who enjoy Danse Society, Bleached Cross, and Chain Cult. This deluxe CD version also includes 3 extra tracks from their first cassette. (Protagonist Records #85 CD)

LOCKSLIP - s/t LP (red vinyl w/ silk-screened b-side)
Featuring members of notable acts such as Entry, Auteur, Mom and the Mailman, and Decoybody, this is the crushing self-titled debut EP from the Los Angeles metallic hardcore outfit Lockslip. Forming in late 2022 and self-producing/self-releasing the EP in 2024, the band turned heads quickly with this 14-minute display of chaos. With punishing breakdowns that any hardcore fan would enjoy, as well as plenty of complex mathy and technical bits, this feels less like the debut release of a brand-new band, and more like an intentional and polished group looking ahead to the future. These songs tell the story of being fed up with the status quo, and of expressing a deep inner turmoil through feedback-laden anguish. The EP was produced and mixed by drummer Noah Baxter at Dichotic Studios, mastered digitally by Brian Skipworth at Skipwave Sound, and remastered for vinyl by Nick Townsend at Townsend Mastering. Pressed on one-sided 12-inch red vinyl with a screen-printed guillotine design on the B-side. (Protagonist Records #104)

LOOSE CHOIR - Shy Side LP (sunburst orange vinyl)
Sacramento, California's Loose Choir bend the trends of indie/alt-rock with punchy punk flourishes and moody folk earholes, the result of which is a blast of nostalgia and new noise in equal measure. Formed in 2022 by Rae Boys (vocals), Tatton White (guitar, bass) and Noah G. Prado (drums), the band took their time fleshing out the songs that comprise Shy Side, their debut full-length. The patience paid off, as Loose Choir's collaborative strengths yielded a formidable collection of arresting tracks brimming with poise and urgency. Thriving in the aural limbo between alt-folk and the often urgent sonic real estate of guitar-forward mid-'00s underground rock, Loose Choir vacillates its dynamism to startling results. Boys' affecting vocals slice like sunrise over a rough sea, and sometimes brings to mind acts as diverse as The Cranberries, Rainer Maria, The Anniversary, or Pogoh. Shy Side embodies the saccharine sentiments of romantic misdirection and the language of longing into a fiery, guitar-driven maelstrom that will all but require repeated listens. (Protagonist Records #98)

DISFIGURE - New Age Of Judgement CD
Disfigure is a black metal band out of New Haven, CT infusing aspects of war metal with elements of d-beat hardcore/crust punk. (Rescroll Records #64 CD)

THEODEN'S REIGN - Citadel of the Stars CD/cassette tape
Theoden's Reign returns with the highly anticipated sophomore album, Citadel of the Stars. Mystically presenting itself as a monumental progression in the Theoden's Reign signature sound of epic medieval atmospheric black metal. Picking up where the debut Mitheithel left off, sole member Heralder expands the sonic landscape with a more refined immersive approach, weaving together majestic passages with raw, unrelenting aggression. Layered atmospheric synths alongside the project's characteristic tremolo-picked riffs, Theoden's Reign has created a vast, cinematic journey that evokes both grandeur and melancholy. Citadel of the Stars is not only a testament to the project's musical growth, but also a stunning achievement that is sure to captivate both current fans and newcomers alike. (Redscroll Records #60 CD/#60 TP)

ABRUPTUM - Vi Sonus Veris Nigrae Malitiaes CD

Fist pressing of 400 copies on black vinyl. 3mm jacket. 12"x12" insert. Ex-Holocausto bestial war-mongers, Tormentador, return with new attacks of proper Brazilian War Metal. GoatSemen from Peru fills the rear side with bestial filth in the true South American style. For fans of 80's Cogumelo style warm climate black metal. (Nuclear War Now Records #761) CHEMICAL DEATH - Times of Inquisition LP
Cult Brazilian black metal with a huge Mystifier influence. This is their unreleased album from 1993! It may come as a surprise that one of the blackest full length recording of the Brazilian 90's scene was produced by a band named Chemical Death, an oddly Death/Grindcore sounding moniker. As a matter of fact the band even added the initials N-C/G-C (Noisecore/Grindcore) to their first logo. Chemical Death was formed in Salvador, the capital city of the Bahia region in the late 80's under the name Desolation by Fabios Omega (guitars), Josenildo Kareca (Bass) and Canibal. These three grind heads were obsessed with the Noise Core sound that was quite popular in Brazil back then when bands like Napalm Death, Fear of God or Agathocles were truly breaking new sonic grounds. DISCLAIMER: There are visible scuff marks and a tiny smudge on the first track of side A on all copies that do NOT affect play. It might look slightly ugly like an old Cogumelo record but it sounds perfect! (Nuclear War Now Records #747)

INDOMITOR - Abrks Pentalfa Renfam LP
Bestial black metal. Fist pressing of 100 copies on black vinyl. 3mm jacket. 12"x12" insert. ECUADORIAN BESTIAL BLACK GRIND METAL.

(Nuclear War Now Records #738)

BLASPHAMAGOATACHRIST - Bestial Abominator LP
Pulverizing war metal. First pressing of 590 copies. Hand pressed by YK at Helios Press across 3 days in March 2025. 3 mm jacket. 12" insert. The second and final nuclear attack from BGC written mostly by Sabbaoth and Virrugus before their untimely passing. Merciless bestial black metal as only members of Blasphemy, Goatpenis and Antichrist can create. (Nuclear War Now Records #754)

(repress) ORCHID - Chaos is Me LP (repress)
The repress has arrived. In 1999 Ebullition released the Orchid - Chaos is Me LP. At the time Orchid was a fairly new and unheard of band. It was the 45th release on Ebullition, but over time it became the most popular band and record that Ebullition ever had the privilege of releasing. The origina description was: Orchid's first full length 12" features eleven songs of their unique blend of emotive chaos and combustible hardcore. Blending it all together to create emo violence. The cover design has an almost Misfits inspired motif, and their lyrics are... well, they are Orchid lyrics, which means that they are slightly emotive and vague while retaining a sense of purpose. Orchid is all about blending; taking the best of several genres and putting it all together to get the Orchid sound. Screaming vocals and harsh sounding music to keep the kids screaming and dancin' whether they are Romulan emo kids or crusty Klingons. (Ebullition Records #45)

(repress) TRAGEDY - Vengeance LP
Finally repressed! Originally released in 2002. "Vengeance" is Tragedy's 2nd LP. Tragedy's first LP was an awesome record filled with powerful and melodic hardcore served with a dark underbelly of brooding atmosphere. "Vengence" is equally as powerful, melodic, and brooding. Twelve songs to infect the world with their ideology and musical vision. (Tragedy Records #3)

RADIO SILENCE: A SELECTED VISUAL HISTORY OF AMERICAN HARDCORE MUSIC (EXPANDED EDITION) - BOOK Initially conceived in 2003 and originally published by MTV Press/powerHouse Books in 2008, the idea for "Radio Silence: A Visual History Of American Hardcore Music" was born during a conversation at an art show in South Brooklyn between designer Nathan Nedorostek and writer Anthony Pappalardo. Out of print for 10 years, "Radio Silence" has been restored, updated, and expanded from the source files and features unpublished and rare images from The Germs, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, SS Decontrol, Die Kreuzen, Youth Of Today, and many more. "Radio Silence" 3.0 is now available through Revelation Records Publishing. This expanded edition includes an additional 34 pages. 7.375" x 10.75", softcover, 256 pages. (Revelation Records Publishing #6)

MIKE V & THE RATS - s/t 7" (yellow with purple splatter vinyl) Mike Vallely has proven his diversity time and time again throughout the years. Loud, aggressive, and angry is the style of music that The Rats play, just like the music they all grew up on. Originally released in 2002 and long out-of-print, this EP is a one-time pressing made in tandem with the band's return in the summer of 2025. New pressing now available on yellow with purple splatter vinyl. (Indecision Records #52)

NUOVO TESTAMENTO - Trouble LP Nuovo Testamento - the Los Angeles, CA-based trio consisting of Chelsey Crowley (vocals), Giacomo Zatti (drums), and Andrea Mantione (synth) - has spent the last several years seizing dance floors across the world with their blend of dark Italo-disco and synth-drenched pop. 2025 promises to be another breakout year for the group, with new EP "Trouble" showcasing the trio's most mature and explorative repertoire to date. With crystalline, modern production and effervescent songwriting, Nuovo Testamento has created a fresh, new sound unmistakably their own. Vinyl version includes digital download. (Discoteca Italia #3)

SENSE FIELD - Building LP (grey vinyl) Formed by ex-members of Reason To Believe, Sense Field pioneered the way for all post-hardcore/emo bands to follow. "Building" is their third full-length album, originally released in 1996. "Building" also has the mixing talent of Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine, Shudder To Think, etc.). New pressing now available on grey vinyl. (Revelation Records #46)

THE FREEZE - Land Of The Lost cassette tape "Land Of The Lost" bridged the gap between The Freeze's signature Boston hardcore/punk style and a more rock 'n' roll sound they employed later in their careers. They still have the punk enthusiasm as in previous releases and use some songs on this recording as scathing criticisms of that period's Boston hardcore scene. Now available again on cassette. (Taang! Records #51)

The band came to an end in 1995, and spurred another batch of classic bands like PAINTBOX, FORWARD or JUDGMENT. But that's a different story. The Double LP was re-mastered by Arthur Rizk, and comes in a gatefold sleeve designed by Ville Valavuo, it includes a 12-page booklet of band pictures and flyers as well as lyrics. The LP is dedicated to Chelsea, the original Guitarist who passed away in 2007. (La Vida Es Un Mus #307)

POLICY OF 3 - s/t LPx2 (pre-order shipping in September)
We are working on getting the Policy of 3 LPs from Stonehenge in France. We are not certain what the price will be... but it should be between $32 and $37. Policy of 3 was one of the great hardcore bands of the late '80s (known as Matter of Fact at that point) and the early '90s (not considered an emo band until years later). Their sound was passionate and compelling with a sound that was cutting edge at the time; heavily influenced by the late '80s Dischord hardcore sound. At the time emotive hardcore was something new and exciting. It was all about passion, anger, and was really just another aspect of hardcore... long before emo was turned into frivolous pop punk. Policy of 3 helped to define this sound/genera and this release is an amazing testament to one of the great hardcore bands from that time. (Stonehenge Records)

CONFRONT - Guilty or Not Guilty LP
Japan's premier hardcore veterans Confront return with their first proper full-length album! Of course Japanese hardcore fans will know this powerhouse group, but I think Americans at large should remember their stunning 7" and collection 12" on General Speech in the 2010s. By comparison, this album sees Confront at their most pulverizing and hardened, a streamlined traditional Japanese hardcore attack. High-charge drums, big gang vocal choruses, emotive vocals, memorable riffs, all the trademarks of the style are in full effect. (SPHC/Chaos In My Life #1)

DART - Speed Days LP
Debut Dart LP: yowzers this is a right proper metal-punk scorcher if I do say so myself. A big step forward from the already impressive demo a couple years back. Think later Poison Idea doing metal-punk with a couple drops of Motorhead and a taste for righteous heavy metal. There is a Euro pressing on Agipunk if that's more convenient. (SPHC Records #144)

SUICIDE CLUB - Facing Fears 7"
Suicide Club EP: so good I had to chip in myself. New generation Malaysian band doing total Clevo USHC, think Nine Shocks Terror and H-100s etc. Also available from Bollocks Records if you're in Asia. (SPHC Records #144.5)

KA'TZON LA'TEVACH - s/t LP
Limited to 300 black vinyl copies. After a demo where I played bass, this is the first album of this band from Tel Aviv with people from Not On Tour, Dir Yassin, Aason... 18 songs that sound like a brutal mix of dark crust, sludge, doom, powerviolence...sung in hebrew. Political stuff about animal liberation, the society in Israel... (La Agonia De Vivir #177)

22 JACKS - Uncle Bob LP
Limited to 300 copies. So happy to put out for the first time ever on vinyl; 22 JACKS Uncle Bob debut album from 1998. One of the bands of the mighty Steve Soto (Adolescents, Agent Orange, Joyride...), forming a super band with people from Face To Face, No Use For A Name, Foo Fighters... a super fresh album between punk rock, power pop and some surfrock vibes. Steve Soto in loving memory. (La Agonia De Vivir #186)

DISASTER JACKS - Tales From The Living End 10"
Limited to 500 pink and blue splatter copies. Disaster Jacks are a trio (Angie, Marle and Dave) from Barcelona and this is their third release, for sure their best stuff til now. 8 new songs of punk rock, hardcore and skatepunk that sound fresh and honest. (La Agonia De Vivir #182)

MENDRA - Hostal Hostil LP
Limited to 300 black copies. Mendra are from Sant Feliu de Guixols, a small city in Catalonia that have had so many good bands along the years. Paula, Sof’a and V’ctor (Tano!, Anchord...) are 3 good friends doing what they love. This is their second album where you will find a personal mix of some post hardcore, punk and emo mostly sung in Catal‡n. If they were from Washington DC they would be on Dischord. (La Agonia De Vivir #158)

WUD - Meant To Collide LP
Limited to 300 black copies. The second album of the band arrives three years after the debut Okeanos (2019), three are also the nuclear components that currently form it (and not the five before) and, again, three are the letters with which the name of the band remains (wud), previously they were called Wood. It seems that many things have changed in three years and that's right, the group has grown while it has been reduced and this new album testifies to that. The eight songs concisely concentrate the soul of the project. Although what they continue to love is the structured edginess of math-rock, they want the work to have punk-rock and pop constantly on the horizon, which makes the computation more digestible for all kinds of ears that like sharp-guitars music. (La Agonia De Vivir #185)

ZAHRADA - s/t LP
Limited to 500 black copies. People from Smudjas, Landverrad, Lawine... from Netherlands playing awesome mix of indierock, punk, emo and noise with female/male vocals. For fans Sonic Youth, Pretty Girls Make Graves or Wild Animals. One of the best records of 2018. (La Agonia De Vivir #101)

THE LOCUST - Molecular Genetics From The Gold Standard Labs LP
Originally released in 2012, The Locust's "Molecular Genetics From The Gold Standard Labs" features 44 tracks of hard-to-find and out-of-print material from the early years of the legendary band. The San Diego, CA, group has been blowing minds since 1994 with their unique mix of grindcore speed and aggression, mathcore complexity, and new-wave weirdness. (Three One G Records #152)

BAYWAY - The Recipe Volume 1 LP (color vinyl)/cassette tape
Bayway is a hard-hitting hardcore band from Elizabeth, NJ, formed in late 2022. Since their debut demo, "World Of Bayway," with RTF Records, they've unleashed a relentless stream of releases including the "Newport Sessions" and "Bayway Takes Manhattan," both on Daze and RTF Records, cementing their reputation as a rising force in the hardcore scene with a no-frills attitude and explosive live energy. Now the first band signed to Trustkill Records since 2008, the band has a new album that promises to be a banger because Bayway has "The Recipe." This is the Bayway refinery vinyl version. (Trustkill Records #142)

LACK OF INTEREST - Never Back Down LP (shipping now!)
Repressed! Sometimes referred to as "Take Another Step," this 19 track LP of Infest inspired thrash is once again available on vinyl! Fast and to the point; no nonsense hardcore. Lightning fast. An absolute must for fans of fast-core and Infest style hardcore. (Deep Six #66)

LACK OF INTEREST - Trapped Inside LP (shipping now!)
Repressed! Originally released in 1999 on Slap A Ham Records. About 6 minutes shy of a million years after their formation the Southern Cal gods of thrash violence finally rip the entire universe a new one with their debut long player. It's about time guys. LACK OF INTEREST are the purest old school style thrash band embraced by the power violence scene. They are strongly reminiscent of early eighties hate core legends like NEGATIVE FX and NEGATIVE APPROACH. They have the same intensity, the same rawness, the same anger and the same classic vibe. "Trapped Inside" features newly recorded songs that span most of the band's career including their calling card "My Life" which is THE thrash anthem of the nineties. There are 24 tracks on this puppy and a good half of them run less than thirty seconds (only three of them break the one minute barrier) consequently this album kills with a speed and power not unlike being strapped into an electric chair. This is the band and this is the album that you can cram down the throat of the next jaded old fart who tries to tell you that "punk is dead". (Deep Six Records #250)

HACKED APART - s/t LP
Hacked Apart (ex-Mass Grave) is a by-product of a broken, disordered urban landscape and the bands' debut self-titled LP matches the hopeless urban devastation that has failed so many who live in the bands' hometown of Vancouver, BC. This record captures the filth, hopelessness, and raw grindcore brutality that made Excruciating Terror such a uniquely repugnant and unrelenting band, offering no breaks and no mercy from the blistering outpouring of grinding violence. (Mechanized Apparatus #1)

(restock) PILLSBURY HARDCORE - Eighty Sixed LP (color vinyl)
This Pillsbury Hardcore 1986, rough-mix tape recording is on colored vinyl and includes a limited CD, large poster, large flyer poster, flyer, two stickers, and large, 22" x 11", lyric sheet/photo and flyer collage. (Black Claw Records #8)

(restock) PISSED HAPPY CHILDREN - Complete Discography LPx2 (color vinyl)
Pissed Happy Children was an influential hardcore-punk band from Claremont, CA, whose members had previously been in Peace Corpse and Pillsbury Hardcore. They would later go on to form other bands in the powerviolence and noise genres including Cyclops, Neanderthal, Charred Remains, Man Is The Bastard, and Bastard Noise. This package includes the "Pissed Playground" full-length and "Vigilante" EP, both originally released by New Beginning Records in 1988 and 1989 respectively, "Graveyard At Sea" from the "Earth Rapers And Hell Raisers" compilation, and a previously unreleased live Gilman set from 1988, all on a LPx2 along with three posters, stickers, a postcard, two fliers, and a patch, released by founding PHC member Shawn Connell on his own label, Black Claw Records. (Black Claw Records #7)

PORTRAITS OF PAST - 01010101 LP (repressed)
A new pressing is once again available. Originally released in 1996 this eight song LP was not an immediate success. When it first came out it was way ahead of its time and the band's popularity didn't really explode until long after the band had broken up. Portraits of Past started out as a 1990's straight edge hardcore band and their debut split 7" with Bleed captured that sound. But the LP was much more controlled and refined and layered. It had a moody almost sad feel to it that was quite captivating. At this point, that sound has become a classic and this LP remains as an important milestone of 1990's hardcore. This new version of the 1996 LP was remastered by Will Killingsworth, and then mastered by Golden Mastering. All of the original artwork was lost to the ravishes of time and a lot of effort went into recreating the original LP jacket by Jeff Capra and the printing engineers at Ross Ellis who had made the original jacket back in 1996. Portraits of Past will be playing many shows in 2025 including the Renaissance Festival in Los Angeles in May of 2025. (Ebullition Records #32 RE)

LAST BIAS - The Sea Hates A Coward LP
Consisting of ex-members of RVA's early '00s chaotic hardcore masters LIGHT THE FUSE AND RUN and Texas '90s DIY emotional stalwarts THE TRIGGER QUINTET, Last Bias draws from their prior experiences and builds upon it to create a modern sound while clearly not forgetting their past. This debut LP from Florida noisey post-hardcore band LAST BIAS takes a mid tempo dual guitar approach with strained emotional vocals and cues from both '90s DIY hardcore and modern Noise Rock equally, blanketing the listener in off-kilter distortion with melodically constructed guitars, fighting to not cross into full-blown discordance. Limited to 325 copies. RIYL: Unwound, Revolution Summer-era Dischord, Jehu, noise rock, early '90s emo. (Twistworthy Records #27)

JULIA - s/t LP (white vinyl version) (shipping now!)
The first pressing instantly sold out, so we made another 550 of them on white vinyl. Originally released in 1994 as a split release between River's End and Ebullition. Like many bands on Ebullition, Julia was from San Diego. Hardcore in California in the '90s was constantly pushing the boundaries and experimenting with new musical directions while maintaining a tie to a common community. Julia was emotive, chaotic, experimental, but also beautiful, soulful and forceful. Like many bands on Ebullition, Julia were ahead of their time doing something new and exciting. The original recordings were lost along the way as was the original art... this repressing was remastered from the CD and the art was painstakingly recreated by none other than Jeff Capra (an integral part of the Southern California scene back in the early '90s... Like It Or Not, Manumission, Ochre, Embassy... etc). An underground classic from the early days of Ebullition's existence... 550 made. (Ebullition Records #30.5)

VISIONS - s/t LP (green vinyl)
Repressing of Visions 1st LP. Dark, gothic, melodic, and catchy punk rock from Portland, OR backed with very solid singing that is delivered with depth and sophistication. Very well done. Three of the four members were previously in the anarcho post punk goth band known as Dead Cult. Two of the members were also in Broken Spirit, another top notch band out of Portland. Akin to older bands like New Model Army, The Chameleons, The Mob, Siouxsie and the Banshees or somewhat newer bands like Bellicose Minds,The Estranged, or Terrible Feelings. This is a split label release with Old City Records and Ebullition. Only 300 made. (Ebullition Records #59.5)

VISIONS - Decay LP (shipping now!)
This is the second LP from Visions. Ebullition has historically always released new music from bands that were pushing hardcore punk in many different, new, and exciting directions while always being anchored to the hardcore punk scene. In my opinion Visions are a perfect fit for Ebullition. If they had existed in the '90s I would have eagerly done records with them. Hailing from Portland, OR they offer up a very powerful and beautiful style of gothic-anarco inspired punk that often gets compared to Siouxsie and The Banshees or The Cameleons, the Mob, or Signal Lost... but delivered with high energy, vitality and simply amazing singing. I am just totally captivated by Visions. Awesome. I saw them play in Portland recently and they were fantastic. They will be doing a West Coast tour in March 2025. Do yourself a favor and check them out! 500 made. Includes a cover of the "Warriors" by the Blitz. (Ebullition Records #62)

ORCHID - Dance Tonight!! 10" (green vinyl repess)
Ten blasts of chaotic fury and emotive noise on a cute little 10". The Orchid sound is even more aggressive than on their 12", and anyone that enjoyed any of their previous releases will be floored by these songs. Tuneful, vicious, throbbing, and chaotic hardcore played with finesse, heartfelt energy, and a wee bit of arty pretense. On green vinyl. (Ebullition #46)

GRIEF - Depression LP
Finally repressed! Slow, utterly depressing and mysanthropic doom - the record that started it all. 4 songs twisting the style of SABBATH and VITUS further down the spiral of physical and mental decay- a testament of the human downfall. Remastered for vinyl by Jack Control at ENORMOUS DOOR MASTERING and pressed on 45 rpm LP for maximum results. (Fuck Yoga Records #53)

ORCHID - Gatefold LP (transparent blue vinyl pressing)
Back in stock! The final recordings of Orchid. These nineteen tracks are probably the best songs that Orchid ever recorded. Their sound has been honed and defined, and the recording perfectly captures Orchid's diverse combination of arty sensibilities, heartfelt emotive song writing, Mohinder-esque drumming, frantic precision, controlled mayhem, and chaotic adrenaline. An excellent record that even surpasses their previous releases. Definitely Orchid's opus. The LP comes packaged in a gatefold sleeve. The various Orchid members went on to form Bucket Full of Teeth, the Wolves, Ampere, and the Panthers. (Ebullition #51)

KORO - s/t 7"
Sorry State is excited to bring you a repress of one of the best hardcore records ever, Koro's 1983 7" EP. Originally released in a small, self-released pressing, over the decades this monster's reputation has continued to grow, and collectors now have to fork over well over a grand for an original pressing. This one is too good for the scum to keep to themselves, though, a hyper-compact explosion of energy that can hold its own next to any landmark early 80s hardcore punk record you want to compare it to. (Sorry State Records #115)

DOWNCAST - Tell Me I'm Alive LP
30 years ago Ebullition came into existence when we released the Downcast 7" with No Answers #10. Downcast was a key ingredient in Ebullition's beginning. Brent, the Downcast guitarist, drew the Ebullition logo and Downcast played a major part in creating the ideology that would define Ebullition. When Downcast broke up they left unrecorded songs on the table. "Tell Me I'm Alive" picks those unrecorded songs up, and also moves forward with a whole set of brand new Downcast tracks; 10 tracks in total. Ebullition is extremely proud to be involved in releasing this new Downcast LP. This LP is not about the past, however, it is about now and the future. It picks up where the debut Downcast LP left off and continues pushing their sound forward both musically and politically. Ebullition is ecstatic to be releasing this LP in 2020. This is the sort of LP that Ebullition was created to release. Amazing. (Ebullition Records #61)

(discounted price) ECONOCHRIST - discography CDx2
Ebullition has decided to lower the price of this amazing discography CD in an attempt to get some more of these out into the world before the CD format disappears forever. A classic. And a great deal for a double CD that includes every single Econochrist song that was ever released! This double CD discography features forty-one Econochrist songs. It includes the Ruination LP, the Trained To Serve LP, the Skewed 7", the Another Victim 7", the It Runs Deep 7", as well as the songs from the Give Me Back comp LP, the Very Small World comp LPx2, the What Are You Pointing At? comp 10", and the songs from the split 7" that Econochrist did with The Detonators. (Ebullition Records #37 CD)
