GEIGER COUNTER/ZUDAS KRUST - Split EP

Split tape from these two metallic crust bands. Geiger Counter is from Minneapolis and you may remember them from their previous releases while Zudas Krust is a long-running Indonesian band I’m hearing for the first time. It’s a good pairing since both bands sound like they’re influenced by Japanese hardcore, but infuse the sound with a distinct death metal influence, particularly in the guttural vocal sound the two bands share. The first two tracks on Geiger Counter’s side have a Death Side gallop, an epic feel, and even a few melodic, Chelsea-esque lead guitar breaks, while the last track speeds things up to more of a Bastard tempo. As for Zudas Krust, their recording is rawer and their sound is even more metal. While some of it still sounds like Japanese hardcore, Axegrinder’s Rise of the Serpent Men would be a closer reference point. Good stuff for the dreadlocks and denim crowd.

Track List:

01. GEIGER COUNTER - Gradually Decline

02. GEIGER COUNTER - Disfunction

03. GEIGER COUNTER - Wasted

04. ZUDAS KRUST - Tirani Frekuensi

05. ZUDAS KRUST - Stench of Death

LIFE - Ossification of Coral

The third full-length release from Tokyo’s seasoned crasher crusties. With headfirst full on power and brutal raw punk, this is an amazing follow up to their previous releases. Thirteen blistering tracks filled with energy showing that there’s no stopping them in their quest of anti-nukes protest punk. As the title of the record implies, this is also a record to raise awareness of the importance of the ecosystem, the exploitation of coral reefs and its existence as well as its impact on humans and all life’s survival. True to their beliefs and practicing what they preach, here raising political awareness in a time where censorship is law and silence is maintained through fear. LIFE as a collective takes a stand and inspires a resistant culture.

LIFE stands for Liberty Independence Freedom Equality.

GENOME - Young, Beautiful & Free

Loud and noisy crasher mangel crusty punk from Malmö Sweden. Genöme makes a follow up to their ”The Sound Of Loud Ringing In The Ear – tape” this time with some changes within the band that can be noticed in a good way. As a new bassplayer has taken control of the noise it's been a more distincts way of bringing out the wall of thundernoise. The satisfying and chaotic combination of the mental drumming, noisy guitar and furious vocals makes this a full on mad and powerfull follow up. This wont dissapoint you crasher noise crusters out there.

ZUDAS KRUST/PAROTID - Desire of Destruction: Split 7"

A big cooperative release to bring two of the finest southeast Asian raw punk bands across the oceans and onto your turntable.

Zudas Krust has been distorting Indonesia for over a decade now with their insane noise raw d-beat style. They've got a big discography, tons of tapes, and splits with cool bands like Life (Japan) and Geiger Counter (USA). But on this release, they leave one foot in the urgency of d-beat hardcore and add one foot in the morose brutality of metal, for a brutal crustcore style that's instantly fulfilling and timeless. Three tracks with heavy riffing, recklessly evil solos, tight playing, but with all the attitude and intensity you remember from your Doom records.

I was hearing hype about Parotid before I even heard any of their recordings. Two guys from smaller town Malaysia that have been taking their country by storm with constant gigging and a flurry of demo tapes. They play a raw and loose d-beat hardcore, pre-requisite reverb on the vocals, but they go the Zyanose route of just bass and drums, and take advantage of that with some interesting twists and dynamics beyond the average d-beat band. Three tracks to wreck your hearing.

Get on this shit and start to dive into two of the most exciting punk scenes in the world.

Track List:

01. Zudas Krust - Martir

02. Zudas Krust - Tahanan

03. Zudas Krust - Algoritma

04. Parotid - Unfuck the World

05. Parotid - State Chaos State Crazy

06. Parotid - Humanism
