Descriptions for 8/22/26

PORTRAITS OF PAST - 01010101 LP (30th anniversary edition)
This special 30th anniversary edition each come with a silver mirror Portraits of Past sticker as well as a black Ebullition sticker. The labels are reversed, and each LP is hand numbered. 536 on Pink vinyl. 461 on clear smoke vinyl. These will ship out on August 24th. 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 has been playing many shows since reuniting in 2025. (Ebullition Records #32 RE)

ORCHID - Gatefold LP (Orange Vinal repress)
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)

DEATHGRAVE - Hell is Evil LP/CD
The Bay Area's favorite Grindcore freaks bend a throng of genres into a unique and unmistakable 3rd full length album titled "Hell is Evil". Deathgrave expands their unmistakable brand of grind adding musical stylings of death, thrash, punk, industrial, doom, noise rock, and dbeat into a seamless concoction. Escape this dreadful reality for the next 32 minutes and dive head first into Deathgrave's most ambitious album to date. The riffs are thick enough to keep you afloat. Deep Purple colored vinyl LP housed in a foil stamped jacket. (Tankcrimes Records #154)

HUMAN GREED - Absolute(ly) Greed(y) LP
Human Greed is a pioneering grindcore/crust band from Quebec. Active during the early years of the province's extreme music scene, the group helped define a brutal, uncompromising, and politically engaged sound. With lyrics condemning social injustice, systemic violence, environmental destruction, and animal abuse, Human Greed quickly became a key voice in Quebec's extreme punk movement. This vinyl reissue includes all of their studio recordings, along with two previously unreleased tracks. Comes with 12 page booklet. (Doomsday Machine/D71 Records #52)

FUCK THE FACTS/FISTFUCK - split 10"
Back in stock!! Ottawa's bastardized grinders and Quebec City's posi-grinders come together to deliver 17 tracks of corrosive brain splattering grindcore that will leave you with a twisted neck and a bloody nose. For high velocity grindfreaks only! (Doomsday Machine/D71 Records #20)

OSTRACA - Thread LP (colored vinyl)
Richmond, Virginia's Ostraca returns with Thread, an unexpected new album and follow-up to 2025's Eventualities. Not ones to slow down, the trio of bassist Gus Caldwell, guitarist Brian Russo, and drummer John Crogan pick up where their last record left off, with six new songs of emotive, heavy screamo and post-hardcore. Through quiet and devastatingly loud dynamics, the dark and bleak Thread explores themes of interconnectedness, fate and the unknowable. Thread was recorded in November 2025 and was engineered, mixed and mastered by Danny Gibney, who the band worked with previously on Eventualities and Disaster. Photography by Nika Mckagen. Art and layout by Garrett Smith. The album comes packaged in a matte full color jacket with OBI strip, lyric insert and colored vinyl. (Persistent Vision Records #34)

OSTRACA - Eventualities LP
For over a decade now, Richmond, Virginia titans Ostraca have written works definitive of screamo as a punk subgenre. Their catalogue is deceptive in its relative brevity; Ostraca's habit of offering songs in groups of three and six gives each track a specific and undeniable gravity. Of course, this is no steadfast rule; for Ostraca, the distinction between EP and LP is immaterial, much the way Loma Prieta contended two decades ago. In 2017, they released two songs on Yarrow, a split with Coma Regalia, Vril, and Untold Want, one of which has been re-recorded for their new four song 12", Eventualities. After taking five years between Enemy in 2018, and Disaster in 2023, the trio of bassist Gus Caldwell, guitarist Brian Russo, and drummer John Crogan showed that Ostraca is an unflappable mainstay in the world of emotive post-hardcore that they inhabit. The drama and passion expected of Ostraca's work is only magnified by the dynamic shifts in their writing, earmarked by the inclusion of other genres in their style, like crust, metal, and post-rock. Their aptitude for this demarcates them from the entirety of their peers. Ostraca builds on the same tradition as German greats June Paik, creating heart-wrenching atmospheres driven by melodies that oscillate between resolution and discordance. Eventualities was recorded in 2024 and was engineered, mixed and mastered by Danny Gibney, who the band worked with on Disaster. Comes packaged in a matte full color jacket with insert and limited colored vinyl. (Persistent Vision Records #23)

GENERACION SUICIDA - Hombre Nuevo LP
The new LP from LA's Generacion Suicida is released along with a bunch of shows, a tour and various LA shows before then. The new record Hombre Nuevo is ten new songs and the first album to be released following Regeneracion in 2021. (Vitriol Records #78)

GENERACION SUICIDA - Regeneration LP
This is the US press of the most recent Generacion Suicida release. Originally pressed in the UK by Drunken Sailor records and now available in the US. Since 2010 Generacion Suicida have been the voice of the Los Angeles neighborhoods honing a sound that is filled with melody, walking a line between punk rock and new wave, perhaps the missing link between the first two Blitz records, or taking cues from more recent bands like No Hope For The Kids or Masshysteri, all with lyrics delivered in Spanish. (Vitriol Records #64)

TEXAS IS THE REASON - Do You Know Who You Are?: Tx30 Special Edition LP (red marble vinyl)
They came from some of the most popular, if not polarizing hardcore bands of the early '90s (Shelter, 108, Ressurection), but by the time Texas Is The Reason formed in 1994, a new aesthetic crystallized almost instantly and reduced its members' previous efforts to history. In April of 1996, the band reinforced that initial success with their first and only album, produced by Jawbox's J. Robbins and named after the last words that John Lennon was alleged to have heard: "Do You Know Who You Are?" "Do You Know Who You Are?: TX30 Special Edition" is the second of three releases to mark the 30th anniversary of the band and its landmark album. The original recording, produced by J. Robbins and mastered by Vlado Meller, has been cut using the current direct-to-metal mastering for a clear, loud rendering of the album. The package includes an eight-page booklet with many photos never published before. (Revelation Records #51)

B.D.R. - Reaper Syndrome CD
Born from Central California's vibrant hardcore scene, B.D.R. was formed by former Ill Communication vocalist Andy Franchere along with his son, Brody, and members of Step By Step. With influences that span from both coasts, it would be fair to call their sound a new take on the hardcore rooted in bands like Carry On, Right Brigade, and Blacklisted. This CD combines their new EP, "Reaper Syndrome," with their previous digital-only EP, "Dead Soul Disorder," and serves as a sampling for the full-length coming next year. (Indecision Records #225)

DESCENDENTS - All LP/CD/cassette tape
"All" is the fourth studio album from Southern California punks Descendents. Released in 1987, the record marked the introduction of both bassist Karl Alvarez and guitarist Stephen Egerton, whose arrival brought fresh melodic ideas and more complex instrumentation to the band through their democratic songwriting process. "All" would prove to be the final studio album of the band's original run, and its title would carry forward as the name of the group's next chapter without singer Milo Aukerman. (ORG Music #2333)

DESCENDENTS - Liveage! LP/CD/cassette tape
"Liveage!" captures Descendents live in 1987 at Minneapolis, MN's First Avenue during the tour for the band's fourth album, "All." Dubbed the "FinALL Tour," it was the last set of dates before the group disbanded so vocalist Milo Aukerman could pursue a graduate degree in biochemistry. Per drummer Bill Stevenson, the release served as a sort of best-of compilation and document of their raw, high-energy live show. CD and cassette versions include two additional tracks. (ORG Music #2335)

V/A - Alive & Kicking LP (color vinyl)
Hello Goodbye Records has reissued the long-out-of-print, Washington, DC-area, "Alive & Kicking" 7" compilation, originally released in 1985. This time around, "Alive & Kicking" is being offered in a limited-edition, one-sided, colored-vinyl 12", making it available again for the first time in 40 years. The bands included are Gray Matter, Marginal Man, Beefeater, Cereal Killer, United Mutation, and Mission Impossible (featuring Dave Grohl) - all unreleased tracks. 12"ep includes a blank B-side. (Hello Goodbye Records #41126)

Descriptions for 8/15/26

L.O.T.I.O.N. - Multinational Corporation LP
L.O.T.I.O.N. have been percolating in the NYC underground for the past 10+ years - gaining notoriety for their unique brand of industrial cyberpunk with intense live shows, fiercely political lyricism and striking visual aesthetics (masterminded by the band's vocalist, noted visual artist Alexander Heir.) Blending noisy electronics and pumping beats with live instrumentation, the band draws inspiration from the militant minimal techno of Detroit, 90s Gabber, and the thrashing riffs of Hardcore Punk. The upcoming release "Machine Hallucinations" is their most fully realized to date. Exploring topical themes of artificial intelligence, the horrors of ICE raids and the corrupt modern military industrial complex, "Machine Hallucinations" is a violent and sobering critique of the current fractured state of The USA. Recorded and Produced by Ben Greenberg (Uniform) and featuring guest appearances from Iggor Cavalera (Sepultura, Cavalera Conspiracy), LA electro-punks La Pregunta? and vocalist Lulu (Fairytale, Twisted Thing) - as well as an expanded dual-guitar line-up, "Machine Hallucinations" broadens the sonic spectrum only hinted at on previous releases. (Toxic State Records #70)

PARANOIAC - Morbid Psycho/Mental Laceration LP
Debut LP from Los Angeles metal thrash band with members from hardcore bands like Blazing Eye, Hoax, Condition and others. (Toxic State Records #66.6)

FAKE DUST - Decrepitizing Din Of The Cerebral Psyopticon LP
This is real West Coast Grind. After a couple of already impressive demos, Portland's FAKE DUST blindsided us with a fully baked maelstrom of mindsnapping grindcore that only true masters of the craft can achieve. Absolutely unrelenting. Diabolically softening up the unsuspecting masses only to lay serious waste to our constantly monitored and mass media muddled minds. The times we live in are angry and chaotic, without much hope for relief - this is what the barrage of 'Decrepetizing Din...' reflects. With songs tackling a range of topics like self-medication, anxiety, paranoia, data collection, disillusion, deception and more, FAKE DUST urge you to �pay attention to the evolution of the tools and tactics of the mass media mind control surveillance state. They are adapting rapidly to influence us, in ways we may not realize yet. " Be careful out there... 500 on blue 150gr vinyl housed in a 20pt jacket with insert and poster included. Recorded and mastered by Sasha Stroud. Art by Brendan Smith. FFO: Insect Warfare, Goner, Defeated Sanity, Excruciating Terror, Foetopsy, Mahavishnu Orchestra. (Iron Lung Records #320)

RESISTANT CULTURE - Welcome To Reality LP/cassette tape

This is a European pressing (import). This release features the late Jessie Pintado (Napalm Death/Terrorizer) Katina Culture (ex-Terrorizer) and Wolf aka Anthony Rezhawk (ex-Terrorizer). (Dark Arts Records #1)

AMASS/CRESS - What Is The Government Scared Of? Split LP
A double dose of anarcho-punk uses the suppression of gatherings at Stonehenge as a central theme to explore how we are controlled, and how lies keep us playing our part in maintaining the system. (Grow Your Own Records #67)

ICONS OF FILTH - Time Of The Signs LP/CD
18 tracks of pure filth art work by the late squeal comes with a2 poster /postcard and patch plus insert. (Grow Your Own Records #69)

Descriptions for 8/8/26

TOTALITAR - s/t LP/CD/cassette tape (pre order / street date 8/28/26)
No export to Europe. Swedish Punk legends TOTALITAR return with their first new album in twenty years! Nine rampaging tracks, crafted with their trademark sublime innovation, where something beautifully and wonderfully simple as D-beat hardcore is innovated on, changed up and perfected again and again. That's the brilliance OF Totalitar, their world renowned old master innovation, and this welcome return finds them in fine form, encased in Distortion with Poffen's shouts firing an abrasive volley of Anger and reflection at the State of the world. Recorded and mixed by Kenko at Communichaos in 2025/2026. Vinyl Pressed at RTI, 24 pt direct to board jacket at stoughton with insert with song explanations in English, spanish and Japanese. (Prank Records #168)

PIG CITY - Another Day In Paradise LP
PIG CITY return with their third full length - an eight song self titled statement that captures the band at their most sharpened, punishing, and deliberate. With each record, PIG CITY has carved deeper into their blend of hostile hardcore, bleak atmosphere, and desert burnt heaviness, and this LP stands as the purest distillation of their sound to date. The songs lunge forward with tightly wound aggression, each track built on crushing riffs, blistering blast-beats, caustic vocals, and a suffocating sense of momentum that never lets up. This self titled LP is a declaration: PIG CITY knows exactly who they are, and they've never sounded more confident, more volatile, or more locked in. From the opening moments to the last strike, the record is lean, cohesive, and unrelenting - an evolution rooted in the band's past but delivered with the force of a new beginning. Pressed in a strictly limited run of 300 copies (of which only 200 are on black vinyl), this release is both a milestone and a collector's piece; an essential chapter for longtime followers and a perfect entry point for new listeners discovering PIG CITY's uniquely crushing world. Welcome to another day in paradise. (To Live A Lie Records #293.5)

RAISED WRONG - Show Me What This Means To You LP (gold with black splatter vinyl)
On their sophomore effort, Raised Wrong returns with six more tracks recorded in Washington State with Cameron Heck at Whalehouse. Bouncing between frenetic and brooding, these tracks take from the members past endeavors but somehow still avoid sounding like a rehash of any of them. For fans of Tragedy, From Ashes Rise, and Final Conflict. Limited edition of 250 copies. (Indecision Records #218)

DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR - Friends Family Forever LP (blue marble vinyl)
Formed in 2000, Boston, MA-based band Death Before Dishonor has made a name for themselves with their uncompromising style of hardcore and energetic, intense live performances. Originally released as a seven-song CDep in February of 2005, Death Before Dishonor's Bridge Nine debut, "Friends Family Forever," was re-released in 2006 on vinyl with three new studio tracks (songs that first appeared on a vinyl-only split 7" with the German band Black Friday '29), making it a ten-song collection. "Friends Family Forever" is a raw, aggressive, and highly personal record centered on themes of loyalty, community, and solidarity featuring intense, fast-paced hardcore punk. (Bridge Nine Records #61)

CEREMONY - Tell Me Your Dream LP
Across two decades, the California-born hardcore outfit Ceremony has earned its standing as one of punk's most adaptable and unflinching bands, always ready to meet the moment without surrendering its principles. True to form, Ceremony's seventh album, "Tell Me Your Dream," pushes the group's punk-forged intensity all the way to the fore, capturing the quintet at its most expressive, expansive, and timely. Within 30 minutes, "Tell Me Your Dream" revisits all previous eras of the greater Ceremony arc, with each track gaining intensity as it plays off the prior. (Relapse Records #7646)

SAVES THE DAY - Through Being Cool LP (red vinyl)
In 1999, Saves The Day came roaring back up the Jersey Turnpike with their second full-length. The five youngsters spent a lot of time on the road and in their home studio, and consequently refined and perfected their sound. With the help of Trax East's Steve Evetts, they recorded 12 of the most poignant, singalong-inspiring songs ever made. (Equal Vision Records #54)

Descriptions for 8/1/26

THE KILLING FLAME - Dreams And Ashes LP (green vinyl)
Ex members of Carry Nation, Ignite, No For An Answer, Triggerman, Blood Days, Unity, Speak 714, Winds of Promise and others... This LP coming out of Spain combines the four tracks from the Back To Ash 7" that came out in 2000 with the six tracks from The Dream Dies CD that was released in 1999. (In My Heart Empire Recrds #173)

NAK'AY/GRINDING - split 7"
This split 7" brings together two sides of modern grindcore chaos - US grinders NAK'AY and Colombian blast maniacs GRINDING - for just under ten minutes of total destruction. (Haunted Hotel Records #153)

DESTRUCT/ABSOLUT - Deafen and Disarm 7"
Finally, after years of talks over many blue drinks and pints of Guinness, we have the long-awaited split EP between Canadian raw metal punks, ABSOLUT, and Richmond's DESTRUCT. As the first new ABSOLUT vinyl release in many years, these three songs demonstrate the extreme, over-the-top metal punk a la The Clay or Ghoul that we have all grown to love and expect in their prolific catalog. Similarly, DESTRUCT continues to march forward in the maximum distortion style of their current NOISE ROOM era. Following both the Svaveldioxid split 7" and LIFE split 12", this new EP was also shaped in collaboration with the prolific Tokyo recording studio. All sleeve artwork drawn by SUGI. The singular shared message from both bands is simple: DEAFEN AND DISARM. We look forward to a day that marks an end to Western imperialism, interventionism, and hegemony. (Grave Mistake Records/Acute Noise Manufacture #5)

WINTER GRAVES - Under The Mikwam LP
Within our never-ending cycle, the austerity of Winter holds the most significant reality. Life, death and survival are a constant. Fitting that this album was conceived from the minds living in the remote woods of the Yukon territories and northern Manitoba treaty 4.This is an album in reverence for the unchanging power of nature in its most unforgiving form. Under The Mikwam collects 10 tracks of unflinching Black Metal with heavy, Crust-Punk overtones. A blizzard of screeching Ojibwe vocals, blood-clotting drumming and hypnotic riffing. This LP is a beast, rising from the permafrost and cascading down upon the unprepared with oppressive force. (Neon Taste Records #58.5)

JUG - Head LP
There goes the neighbourhood! The impossibly deep void known as JUG has belched out 8 more tracks of undeniable fire and brimstone from the punk pulpit. Take a deep sip. Roll it over your gums. How's it taste? Refined. Fuckin exquisite, man. Like the perfect ratio of @cocacola_ca and a cheap @pellerwines red on a tepid afternoon. You might not do it all the time but when you do, you wonder why it's not breakfast 4 times a week.
Jug is Payday on Friday.
Jug is victory despite everything.
Jug is the joker in your sleeve.
Jug is finding another bag 2 hours before the airplane takes off.
Jug is absolute pride and disgrace.
Jug is the forgotten sons of a disintegrating world.
Jug is laughing in the reapers face.
Jug is outside.
(Neon Taste Records #58)

EXCLAIM - Fusillade LP
Operating in Akita city, located in the far north of Japan's big island, playing political hardcore punk influenced by bands like Discharge, Crucifix and Crass through a uniquely Japanese filter. Their sole appearance on record was a single track on Gauze's "Shodoku Gig" LP from 1987, but the band had already gone into the studio 3 times from 1985-1986 and tracked close to 20 incredible songs for fans of metallic 80s style Japanese hardcore punk like G.I.S.M., Zouo, and Gastunk, inflected with occasion clean vocal parts, and shredding guitar leads. "Fusillade" compiles both of their 1986 recording sessions. (General Speech Records #51)

EXCLAIM - Fusillade 1985 to 1986 CD
More affordable option containing the tracks from the LP and 7" released by General Speech. Mastered for digital CD. (General Speech Records #5051)

EXCLAIM - Reality and Future 7"
Never released 1985 sessions by this hardcore punk band operating in Akita city, Japan. "Reality And Future" is being presented as a limited companion to their full length masterpiece "Fusillade", also released by General Speech. These tracks show Exclaim at their most urgent and primitive. Unfortunately the master tape saw some serious degradation in the years, and as this tape was never duplicated, or distributed, an attempt at restoring the master was the only option. As such, the audio here has some degradation issues that weren't fully fixable, but the strength of the tracks is enough to warrant pressing a few of these for fans to hear, rather than let the tracks go unheard forever. Pure 80s metallic hardcore punk like only Japan can produce. For fans of G.I.S.M., Zouo, and Gastunk, etc. (General Speech Records #50)

The MARGAReTS - Hi Tech Dinner LP
The MARGAReTS from Chiba City went into the 1990s with a mission to play noisy 77 style punk, and helped build a scene in Chiba City of incredible and underrated bands playing in a similar style of raw '70s punk like their close compatriots in Tokyo, The Registrators, but like Kyushu Punk, Chiba City wasn't about to forget the fuzz of Disorder, and Chaotic Dischord. The MARGAReTS were undoubtedly torchbearers of this scene. Their "Hi-Tech Dinner" gigs, aesthetic, penchant for 70s fashion, and signature sound acted as a center point that would influence and build the Chiba Punk scene, eventually birthing bands like The C&C, Screaming Noise, Dust Noise, and dozens more. They gigged regularly, gaining a revered cult status, and recorded several times, but never managed to release a record. "Hi-Tech Dinner" is the career spanning MARGAReTS album featuring 18 of their best works which have been specifically remastered for vinyl to function as the album they were never able to release. (General Speech Records #31)

THE MARGARETS - Hi Tech Dinner CD
A separately mastered for digital collection compiling all 4 of their rare recording sessions. 35 tracks and almost 80 minutes of music. Only a few lower fidelity compilation tracks are missing from this release. Pure Fuzzy Chiba City Punk!! (General Speech Records #31 CD)

TIIKERI - Punk on Tarkeaa 7"
No Export to Europe or Japan. The 5th 7" and third full EP from Finland's Tiikeri is maybe their best yet. If this band is still unknown to you, They have spent the last 5 years keeping the torch of traditional Finn-punk burning. Playing in the tradition and simplicity of the late 70s punk roster dominating cult labels like Johanna and Poko Records, Poko Record's "Pure Finnish Rock" slogan begs for a 2026 update with Tiikeri playing "Pure Finnish Punk". This new EP sees Tiikeri at their most poppy and catchy yet without losing their punk edge, and objectively perhaps their strongest song writing. Bands like Vaavi with their song "Pogo Party" come to mind on this record, the bass runs would make JJ Burnell from the Stranglers envious, a fantastic artistic layout in Tiikeri's now cemented punk style, and the production is the icing on the cake being the perfect fit for this style. Hard not to call this a perfect record in 2026. (General Speech Records #56)

VANSUUT - Mari 7"
No Export to Europe or Japan. Based in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, VANSUUT's second 7" is just like their first. It's undeniable that VANSUUT is heavily influenced by Finnish punk, but their punk rock, played with pure passion without getting too bogged down in "Finnish punk" conventions, is truly one-of-a-kind. You could call them "Japan's representatives of Finnish punk in the 2020s", but "punk rock embodying the melancholic youth of clumsy adults who can't grow up" fits them even better. 4 Track EP. (Jacky Crust War). Released by Vox Populi in Tsuyama City Japan, and Distributed by General Speech in the Americas. (General Speech Records #43)

(restock) 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)

(restock) 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)

COSMIC JOKE - Referee/Agnostic (One Size Fits All) 7"
Cosmic Joke is bridging the gap between the gritty authenticity of '80s and '90s Los Angeles, CA, hardcore with the melodic hooks of SoCal skate punk. The single, "Referee b/w Agnostic (One Size Fits All)," will be the band's first release with legendary California-based label Revelation Records, marking another entry into their storied catalog. The two songs were recorded at The Pit Recording Studio in their native San Fernando Valley area of Southern California with longtime collaborator Taylor Young and are the first sneak peek at the band's forthcoming full-length, to be released in fall 2026. Limited edition of 300 copies. (Revelation Records #223.1)

PORTRAITS OF PAST - 01010101 LP (30th anniversary edition) (pre - order)
[street date August 24th] This special 30th anniversary edition each come with a silver mirror Portraits of Past sticker as well as a black Ebullition sticker. The labels are reversed, and each LP is hand numbered. 536 on Pink vinyl. 461 on clear smoke vinyl. These will ship out on August 24th. 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 has been playing many shows since reuniting in 2025. (Ebullition Records #32 RE)

ALIENATOR - Brutal Occupation 7" There is absolutely no stopping this hardcore juggernaut, and this 4 song E.P is the proof. Continuing right along with the LP, without skipping a beat, these dudes are just as angry and intense. Fast catchy riffs, sick breakdowns, rad solos, gang vocals, and sounds that invoke violence in the pit of one's soul. If prior releases did not make you want to destroy everything in the room, this might just be the one that breaks you. Absolutely no poser shit anywhere in this frantic listen. Recommended to anyone who loves their hardcore pure and genuine. (Black Water Records #123)

PUNGENCE - s/t tape cassette
If you have an unquenching thirst for down tuned DOOM-laden crust punk littered with dive bombs and blazing solos, stop whatever you're wasting your time doing and grab this 8 track cassette only release. This shit is so dirty, even the dental floss holding your trousers together will not survive the onslaught. The tape remains urgent as hell; fast d-beats throughout wasting no time with mid tempos or artsy fartsy bullshit. For fans of DISCHARGE, HIATUS, DISGUST, DISRUPT, WAR COLLAPSE, or DOOM. Crust without the chugging. Just plain, evil hardcore the way it is meant to be. (Black Water Records #127 TP)

Macho is pressed on 180 pink vinyl with embossed jackets and includes an 11" x 17" poster and stickers. (Financial Ruin/Threat Collection Records #1)

ZORN - Return to Castle Death LP
Philadelphia's Zorn returns with a new album for Sorry State, Return to Castle Death. While the two years since Endless Funeral have seen Zorn's stage show grow increasingly surreal and elaborate (giant Kaiju-style monsters and oversized medieval weaponry are now regular features of their gigs), Return to Castle Death finds the band whittling things down musically, giving us a meaner, leaner, and more riff-focused Zorn than we've heard previously. But while these seven tracks feel more straightforward, the hallmarks of Zorn's sound are still here in force: the blackened punk riffs, virtuosic drumming, touches of neoclassical melody, and vocals that can can move from a Sakevi-influenced gurgle to a banshee death howl in the space of a line. There are also a few new twists, like the warped organ solo at the climax of album-closer "Guest of the Mad Prince." And make sure to pick up the physical version, because the vinyl features an exclusive bonus track: a cover of Annihilation Time's modern classic "Bald Headed Woman" put through Zorn's metal-punk meat grinder.

SOCIAL DISTORTION - Born To Kill LPx2
Orange County, CA's Social Distortion returns with it's first album in 15 years, "Born To Kill." Armed with 11 urgent songs, frontman Mike Ness continues to build on the mystique that Social Distortion is more than just a punk band. For many, "Born To Kill" is a return to form, but instead, it's a continuation of the bar of excellence that Social Distortion and, in turn, Ness has long been praised for. 2xLP includes an etched D-side. (Epitaph Records #7368)

QUICKSAND - Bring On The Psychics LP/CD (dusk blue with with swirl vinyl)
It's impossible to overstate the influence that Quicksand has had on the hardcore scene. Inspired by a quote from scientist Carl Sagan, "Bring On The Psychics," Quicksand's first album in five years and Equal Vision Records debut, sees guitarist/vocalist Walter Schreifels examining his past through his present reality. From the hook-driven heaviness of the opener, "Get To It," to the shoegaze splendor of "Crystallize," the band covers a lot of sonic ground on "Bring On The Psychics," but it always sounds like Quicksand. Now available on colored vinyl. (Equal Vision Records #527)

SAID AND DONE - Ventura County Straight Edge LP
Originally started as a project, it became pretty clear after recording their self-titled demo in 2025 that something this unapologetically straight edge needed to continue. Welcome the debut EP from Ventura County, CA's Said And Done. Seven tracks of furious, stompy straight edge that is culled from the style of hardcore that they first fell in love with. 12"ep includes a blank B-side and is limited to 150 copies. (Indecision Records #219)

SHARP TONGUES - Dead Weight LP (colored vinly)
Sharp Tongues is a melodic hardcore band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in late 2021. Their sound is rooted in the '90s wave of classic hardcore, with a particular love for bands like Carry On and In My Eyes, while blending modern elements that give their music a fresh, contemporary feel, adding depth and intensity to their current work. Following the success of their debut album, "No Rescue," the band is releasing "Dead Weight." 12"ep includes a blank B-side. (New Age Records #117)

MINOR THREAT - s/t LP
This 12"ep was remastered and recut in November 2008 at Chicago Mastering Service. Tracks 1-8 are from the first Minor Threat 7". Tracks 9-12 are from the "In My Eyes" 7". Now available again on colored vinyl with updated cover artwork. (Dischord Records #12)

DEADGUY - Fixation On A Coworker LP
Out of print for more than a decade, the Deadguy team scoured the galaxy in search of the original recording of their legendary, sole full-length only to discover that the tape was sacrificed to the metal gods. Fortunately, producer and engineer Steve Evetts unearthed and remixed digital copies of multiple album tracks from the "Fixation On A Coworker" session before they sent all of it to be remastered and pressed on Popgun Records, their original home-grown label from 1994. (Popgun Records #666)

CONVERGE - Hum Of Hurt LP
For over three decades, Converge has defined the outer limits of heavy music, shaping hardcore, punk, and metal with unmatched urgency and vision. On "Hum Of Hurt," the band's 12th album and second release of 2026, the band continues to channel decades of creative intensity into a focused and fearless reflection on resilience, connection, and the weight of existence. "Hum Of Hurt" is both a reckoning and renewal - proof that after 35 years together, Converge remains one of the most vital and uncompromising forces in modern music. (Deathwish Records #267)

(Nuclear War Now Records #797)

WITCHES HAMMER - Final Storm LP
Forty years in the making, Final Storm serves as the triumphant final chapter in Canadian Speed Metal cult, Witches Hammer's history. Rather than reinventing themselves, the band has remained faithful to the speed and thrash metal sound that has defined their legacy, delivering nine tracks that seamlessly stand alongside their previous two acclaimed albums. The record bridges past and present, combining material from the band's earliest days with newly forged compositions to create a fitting Final Storm. Two songs on the album trace their origins directly to Witches Hammer's legendary demo era: "Mantle of Death" from the band's 1985 debut demo and "Death of No Reprieve" from their 1986 follow-up. Alongside these resurrected classics are two completely new tracks, "Nocturnal Oblivion" and the instrumental "Malicious Assault." The remaining songs are built from a treasure trove of unreleased riffs, rehearsal tapes, and basement recordings created during the band's formative years in the 1980s. Much of the material was painstakingly assembled from decades-old cassettes, with the band collaborating to complete and refine unfinished ideas into fully realized songs. Lyrically, Final Storm continues Witches Hammer's tradition of drawing inspiration from a wide spectrum of dark subjects, ranging from mythology, religion, and literature to film and real-world themes. Musically, the album remains rooted in the classic metal records that shaped the band, channeling the spirit of albums such as Seven Churches, Hell Awaits, Sentence of Death, British Steel, Killers, and Bonded by Blood. The album's striking cover artwork carries a story of its own. Originally drawn by Wes Gauley in 1988 for an album that was never released, the piece remained unseen for nearly four decades before being carefully restored by Beatrice Share. Intended to adorn what could have been Witches Hammer's debut full-length, it now serves as the cover for their final statement; a fitting and symbolic conclusion to a journey that began in the underground metal scene of the 1980s. Final Storm is both a celebration of the band's past and a powerful final testament to the enduring spirit of the Canadian Speed Metal cult. (Nuclear War Now Records #798)

COPROLITH - Putrescence LP
Hailing from Toronto, COPROLITH formed in 2023 and promptly released their debut demo, which ME SACO UN OJO released on vinyl early the next year. While that demo was undeniably a promising start, the quintet dive deeply into an abyss that's heavier, more doomed, and most definitely darker with their debut album, Putrescence. Truly titled, Putrescence is a vast landscape of rot and dread. COPROLITH illustrate this landscape with a bounty of the very best sounds of the very early '90s: DEATH METAL, tried and true, but stirring within their cauldron is the tank-like bludgeon of Grave, the monolith pulse of Demigod, and the sepulchral tendrils of Incantation. That the Canadians splice & sluice those ingredients to their diabolical design shows both a lifer's understanding of these foundational sounds and, more so, a will to honor this tradition with fiercely focused personality - keenly knowing what's between the slimy exoskeleton and its rotten underbelly, so to speak. And the fact that all but one of the album's six tracks stretch well beyond the five-minute mark shows that there's charred, challenging vistas being explored along the way... Lurk within the sewers long enough and, with COPROLITH as your guide, you'll find exactly where the Putrescence is. (Me Saco Un Ojo #209)

ASTRIFEROUS - Atavistic Unraveling LP
Continuing the primordial descent that kicked off in earnest with their 2023 debut album, Pulsations From the Black Orb, ASTRIFEROUS return with their second full-length, Atavistic Unraveling. Much like that celebrated debut, the Costa Ricans' sophomore album is perfectly titled: truly, the sensations one finds spread across this dread landscape are an Atavistic Unraveling. Thankfully, ASTRIFEROUS' foundation has changed little - the swarming morbidity of early '90s Finnish death metal fused with classic South American madness - but there are (dread) developments that prove the band are just now hitting their stride. Despite its title, Atavistic Unraveling shows ASTRIFEROUS at their tightest and sharpest, with chops and execution meeting at a nexus of impossibly horrific proportions. Duly armed, the quartet take their songwriting to strange, skronking lengths, rendering their angularity both an unsettling and utterly attacking thing. Likewise, the slight cleaning-up of production has paid dividends, allowing these malformed ruminations to fully seep into the listener's psyche - mangling the mind, wracking the body - whilst emerging with just enough linear propulsion to land the record on the right side of art rather than riff salad. Collectively, these changes have made ASTRIFEROUS even more world-eating than before, further cementing their homeland's death metal scene as one of the most potent around. Atavistic Unraveling awaits those who dare... (Me Saco Un Ojo #210)

DEAD VOID - Cranial Devastation LP
Spectral death metal conjurations will grasp you with their doom-tinged tendrils from the onset of this record. The gritty, booming riffs open a chasm of darkness for the punishing drums to cast skulls into. Met by otherworldly vocals, this is certain to grip any fan of sepulchral music with its enchanting and intense abyssal atmosphere. Do not be fooled by the slower lumbering moments into thinking this will be an easy listen. Stampeding ferocity and wild madness soon erupt from the charnel openings to give a burst of frantic psychopathy to the experience. Churning doomed violence and convulsive bestial onslaughts entwine around each other to project forth arcane death metal violence with huge dynamics and an utterly savage feeling to every second. With a natural, organic production to convey the filthy nature of the music perfectly; this is not a record that will hold your hand rather drop you into a void of souls with malicious intentions. From the devastating drum work and monstrous riffing to the wickedly contorting bass lines; each instrument complements the others in this storm of triumphant vitriol while the commanding vocals spew malice to superb effect. The low end murmurings and rusted blades of the leads are an idyllic balance of inhospitable sounds that will surely satisfy any real underground lunatic seeking dark music. These five pieces clock in at 35 minutes and the sheer intensity is upheld for every second. Crypt-lurking doomed despair and utter ferocity become companions while the groove of the more mid tempo sections tie everything together. There is certainly nothing missing for an impactful and memorable experience. Allowing itself to decay and reform throughout; you will see, hear, feel, smell and maybe even taste the stages of cranial decay and the anguish of the brain matter breaking down into nothingness. This is a record which doesn't follow predictable patterns nor rules but wildly possesses you with the malignant spirits from death metal's darkest corners... (Me Saco Un Ojo #211)

GALVANIZER/MORBIFIC - split LP
The Galvanizer/Morbific Split, once trapped in cassette?only form, erupts again in a remastered version with a blast of rancid Finnish death metal for the first time on CD! Two of the filthiest underground abominations collide in a whirlwind of chainsaw riffs and grave?stench vocals and if you missed it the first time on cassette, this is your chance to seize a slab of pure decay before it sinks back into the crypt! After having paid all their dues in the underground with tapes and eps like we were used back in the 90s, Galvanizer have quickly become one of the most promising underground acts around, their old school approach perfectly combines with their youthful energy and their sound will perfectly please both fans of old school finnish death metal and more modern death-grind approaches. After "Sanguine Vigil" and "Prying Sight Of Imperception" the band is now ready to embark on a European tour with Malformed and finally launch the third, long awaited, third full length album! (Me Saco Un Ojo #212)

(repress) MODERN COLOR - Portuguese Bend 7" (opaque green vinyl)
Southern California melodic-rock outfit Modern Color sonically reflects the rich and ever-growing hardcore and indie scenes surrounding them, taking influence and creating a sound all their own that borders on the heavier side of shoegaze. In the time since this EP was originally released in 2018, Modern Color has toured the world and established itself as canon for this special brand of music. For fans of Title fight, Touche Amore, and Turnover. New pressing now available on opaque green vinyl. (Indecision Records #113)

THE CASUALTIES - Detonate LP

As their second album with David Rodriguez at the mic, it solidifies the vocalist's partnership with drummer Marc "Meggers" Eggers and guitarist Jake Kolatis. As the follow-up to 2018's "Written In Blood" and their first record for Hellcat Records - the Epitaph subsidiary curated by Tim Armstrong of Rancid - "Detonate" sees this new version of The Casualties locking into place.

CAR VS. DRIVERS - Deja Grateful LP
Deja Grateful, the first album from Atlanta's mid-90s emotional post-hardcore quartet Car vs. Driver. Released exclusively on LP in 1995 by Lunchbox Records, it has remained out of print for 30 years. Original copies are scarce and highly coveted by those who saw their intense live shows back in the day. From 1993-1995, Car vs. Driver played shows with Current, Policy of 3, Braid, Cap'n Jazz, Hoover, Spirit Assembly, and so many others, and would appeal to fans of the energy and passion of this era. (Lunchbox Records/Stickfigure Records #82)

.STENTIAL - Memento Mori/Solving For Self Through Long Division LP (colored vinyl)
.Stential is a New Jersey hardcore band channeling the raw spirit of '90s screamo, early-2000s metalcore, and everything in between. Their sound is a complex blend of beautiful melodies, ear-piercing vocals, and crushing breakdowns-an emotional whirlwind of chaotic hardcore that feels equally indebted to the heartfelt sincerity and intensity of the underground VFW circuit. Drawing comparisons to the soaring beauty of Saetia and the unhinged chaos of Orchid, the crushing breakdowns of Poison the Well and Disembodied; Stential delivers songs packed with passion, vulnerability, and explosive energy. Their live shows are electric, fueled by massive sing-alongs, relentless crowd interaction, and the kind of connection that turns strangers into a community-like your favorite band from 2002 somehow survived and got even louder This LP collects .stential's Memento Mori and Solving For Self Through Long Division EPs on vinyl for the first time. Nine tracks of emotionally intense, concept-driven emo-core, screamo, and hardcore centered around themes of mortality, identity, anxiety, and personal transformation. Pressed on 140g vinyl and housed in a full-color jacket featuring the original artwork from both EPs, with a full-color lyric insert included. Released on Rocket Otter Records. (Rocket Otter Records #13)

GUDON - Devil of Mediocrity 7"
Traditional Japanese hardcore. What makes a good reunion band? Should old bands take a victory lap on their former glories, or should they dive right back in where they left off and continue what they started? When Gudon hosted Terveet Kadet in Hiroshima in 2024, obviously I was excited because they're a classic band with their fair share of hits I want to hear. But nothing could have prepared me for how outrageously GREAT they were as a live band. Total power, maximum attitude, my jaw was on the floor as Ilari and I were looking at each other like 'welp....we didn't expect Gudon to be the best band we saw on this tour....but....this is reality' LOL. Then when they hosted Dirty Wombs in Hiroshima in 2025, I felt, I wish everyone could experience the joy of Gudon, of seeing a classic band return to action as strong and energized as ever before, continuing to write new songs, make new records, organize gigs, tour, progress forward into the future. Because this is punk, nobody wants to see a rock star on a stale victory parade, the world is still fucked up so we need to still be raging against it! So it's my immense pleasure to help Gudon continue what they started, with a USA tour and an American pressing of their latest 7", a powerhouse record showcasing where Gudon is at now: as wild and devastating as ever before. A traditional Japanese hardcore style by one of the bands that made it a tradition, that set the template which others operate from. The new songs continue to showcase their dynamic songwriting style while also having all the speed and guts a hardcore band needs, the re-recorded classics sound as sharp and crazed as ever. (SPHC Records #150)

BASTARD COLLECTIVE - Manchild LP
Old Skull Hardcore Powerviolence Supergroup! Featuring OG members of NO COMMENT, GASP, & MAN IS THE BASTARD. Joining forces to re-blaze the trail they carved in the 90's.

SUICIDE NATION - Love and the Truth mini-book
To accompany the long-awaited release of the Suicide Nation "Love and the Truth" full digital discography, vocalist and lyricist Matt Martinez has assembled a 56 page journal of the same title. This document contains various reflections on the seminal 90's blackened hardcore band, and is accompanied by lyrics and artwork, some previously unseen/unreleased, that was created during the band's existence. This small-format book is professionally printed and bound, and is a limited printing edition. The 90's birthed many genre-bending, genre-defining, and genre-defying bands, and Suicide Nation are counted by many among the best of them. Certainly for their impactful experimentation with fresh ideas and pioneering sounds, but if for no greater reason than their absolute sincerity. You'll find it bleeding from every word and note they wrote. The complete digital discography is a demonstration of why they remain utterly unforgettable, and this accompanying book is a deeper look into a time and place that was unique, caustic, and formative. (Protagonist Records #112.5 B)

DEMMERS - Forced Perspective LP (purple swirl vinyl)
There is a specific kind of architectural tension that exists in the New Jersey suburbs-a sense of being boxed in by history while staring down an uncertain, industrial horizon. It's an environment that birthed some of the most visceral hardcore of the last two decades, and it's the soil from which Demmers has emerged. On their debut full-length, Forced Perspective, the band strips away the distortion of their heavy-music pedigree to reveal something colder, sharper, and deeply haunting. The album's lead single, "Say It" serves as the record's mission statement, capturing the weary, mid-tempo angst of Disintegration-era The Cure while maintaining a lean, athletic muscularity. While Demmers clearly counts the monochromatic majesty of The Chameleons and The Sound as north-stars, Forced Perspective is no mere exercise in 80s worship. The nine-song collection is informed by the members' history in the hardcore scene-a past life that manifests here not in volume, but in a relentless velocity and intent that also echoes the emotional weight of Sunny Day Real Estate and Mineral. (Protagonist Records #112)

BENT SEA - The Dormant Ruin LP
Limited to 200 - Give Praise Edition! Blade Sharpened Red! Led by drummer/guitarist/songwriter Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth) with all-star cohorts Sven de Caluwe (Aborted) on vocals and Shane Embury (Napalm Death) on bass, raucous trio Bent Sea blasts forth The Dormant Ruin, their 14-years-in-the-making, debut full-length release. Mangling the blueprint of classic grind by infusing it with death/black/industrial elements and unhealthy doses of dissonance and an undeniable sense of urgency, The Dormant Ruin skillfully transcends the band's early output via 20 songs in just over 33 minutes. Produced by Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, Dark Funeral) and featuring guest appearances by Kevin Sharp (Venomous Concept, ex-Brutal Truth), John Cooke (Venomous Concept, Napalm Death) and Sylvain Coudret (Soilwork, Scarve), The Dormant Ruin is gale-force grind and it's fierce. Get your copy now before they are all swept away! (Give Praise Records #180)

SATANIC THREAT - In To Hell CD
Featuring current members of Nunslaughter and an ex-member of Midnight, SATANIC THREAT are everything their name implies: fast, blasphemous, hardcore-HELL-punk straight outta the wastelands of Ohio!

FUTURE CONFUSION - One Two Three Four LP Members of Fields of Fire, Broken Needle, Bad Reaction, and Dry-Rot play music that sounds nothing like Fields of Fire, Broken Needle, Bad Reaction, or Dry-Rot. Three piece melodic punk band from Los Angeles and Ventura County navigate their way through the trash heaps of MAGA, motorcycles, online dating, and the job market, occasionally exploring their sensitive side too. ONE TWO THREE FOUR is Future Confusion's first physical release, compiling their four EPs that came out digitally between 2023 and 2026. Includes a cover the the Replacements' "Kids Don't Follow." FFO: Pegboy, Buzzcocks, early Replacements. (Fuco Records #1)

ANTI-CORPOS - Backlash LP
Born in Brazil in 2002, Anti-Corpos, the queer-punk-noise band, has fought for gender equality in heavy music since the beginning. Over the past 20 years Anti-Corpos has played over 300 shows, countless tours and have released some demos and two 7"s (both on Emancypunx Records). The band, now based in Berlin consists of; Adriessa Souza -vocals/bass (Eat My Fear, Dominatrix), Helena Krausz -drums- (Eat My Fear, Gegenuber), and Irem Kara -vocals/guitar- (Nerv�us, Hoarse). With this formation the band brings even more ethnic diversity on western stages and spreads awareness for underrepresented minority groups throughout the European music scene. "Backlash" is their first full length album after all these years. Recorded with Jan Oberg of Hidden Planet Studios, it's heavier, with a bigger, groovier and noisier soundscape but still with the same lyrical centre: Political, feminist, and the struggles and importance of being an immigrant band in the German/European scene. Anti-corpos' lyrics focus on themes of feminism, anti-homophobia, anti-racism, and self-care. With fast and heavy riffs, the band shifts between dark grooves and chaotic noise, the trio delivers a visceral live performance. This is co release with Emancypunx Records and No Gods No Masters Records. (Refuse Records #215)

GO! - Just Say Go! 1989 to 1991 LP (colored vinyl)
GO! burst onto the New York Hardcore scene in 1989, and over two years recorded four 7", played lots of shows, toured the US and Europe, and were active in NY's ABC-No-Rio scene, with contemporaries SFA, Born Against, Rorschach, and Citizen's Arrest. GO! covered serious topics (including gay and lesbian rights, racism, feminism) but tossed in fun songs, too, making a statement while keeping their sense of humor and sarcasm. "Just Say GO!" Includes most of GO!'s 1989-91 output, including "And the Time is Now," "Your Power Means Nothing," "Why Suffer?" and "There is No Man" 7"s, plus the GO!/Bad Trip split 7"ep and songs off of compilations. 59 tracks LP with gatefold cover and 16-page booklet. (Refuse Records #216)

CORRECTIVE MEASURE - Not For You Not For Anyone LP
CORRECTIVE MEASURE from Maine are back with a bang after eight long years since their ripping debut 7" on Atomic Action (US) and Refuse Records (EU). Definitely worth the wait for more of their no frills, tight, fast aggressive hardcore. As they say, this record is very politically-driven, with anti-violence being the predominant message. If you dig classic 80's NYHC and Boston Hardcore and "more recent" bands like No Justice, Stop & Think or No Tolerance then don't sleep on this racket. These nine songs will hit you hard. (Refuse Records #204)

WOUNDED PAW - Only Cowards Believe In Peace LP
Cincinnati's Wounded Paw were merging powerviolence chaos with youth crew fury. Aligned with Refuse Records and In My Heart Empire, they unleash" Only Cowards Believe in Peace"; a 22-track discography LP compiling their devastating 2024-2025 output "Noise, death & chaos" 12", "Excruciating pain" 7" and also 3 complete new and unreleased songs. Posthumous discography of this now defunct band. One-time pressing of 231 copies. (Refuse Records #218)

REAGNITION - s/t LP
It would be easy and convenient to describe this release as 'the debut album of a new band from Warsaw, but that would be a very incomplete description. The history of the songs on this album is longer than the project itself. It dates back to 1996, when the sketches of the compositions were created, which were intended to be included on AGNI HOTRA's second album. Almost 25 years later, they were revisited, refreshed, rearranged and finally recorded at Mustache Ministry Studio by Jaroslaw Skladanek (the aforementioned Agni Hotra, as well as Cymeon X and Kto Ukradl Ciastka), Piotr Grabinski (Sunrise, Iron To Gold, Last Item, among others), Daniel Kryj (Sunrise) and Arek Lerch (Sunrise, Czern). The only piece missing from the puzzle was the vocals, which were provided by Art Jagodka (After Laughter), who recorded the vocal lines at Waiting Room Studio in May 2024. Reduced to a four-piece line-up, they played their first concert in March '25 (at the Refuse Records Showcase in Warsaw) and are currently planning more. Spread between Warsaw, Krakow and Stockholm, the band's location is no obstacle to them visiting your town. Keep that in mind. For all those into 90s HC, we recommend reaching for this 12". Created by people who co-created that scene back then and co-create today's scene, generating a multitude of valuable projects over the years, which are now an important part of the history of the Polish Hardcore scene. With this line-up, you can expect only the highest quality. And that is exactly what we get with this release. Album cover - 'Matrice' by Michal Powalka. (Refuse Records #217)

TOMAR CONTROL - Frente al miedo LP
Tomar Control are a four-piece hardcore punk band from Lima, Peru that formed in 2014. The band have worked diligently for the last near-decade, making a name for themselves not only in the Latin American hardcore scene, but around the globe. Playing a traditional style of hardcore akin to bands like 7 Seconds, Youth of Today, and BOLD, the all-female lineup stands out in a genre dominated by white men. Lyrical themes that accompany their music showcase the band's commitment to feminism, straight edge, veganism, and DIY. The foundation for these ideals were grown within their local hardcore scene and created deep desire to share these principles with the outside world. In the past, the band has been known for providing animal rights activism and vegan education to Lima's youth. "Una vez mas" 12" is a brand new release by TOMAR CONTROL. Musically more diverse than earlier releases and important message to share is still there. In their words - Frente al miedo is a tale about all the violence, sadness, loss, and disillusion we face throughout our lives, and how we move forward despite it all because our dreams are bigger, our love is immense, and because we know we will never be alone. In this cruel world, we need to be the difference. Recorded at Echa Records by Daniel Llamoja, mixed and mastered by Don Fury Studios. (Refuse Records #212)

PERIPETIJA - Zar nisi besan? LP
PERIPETIJA is a new straight edge hardcore band from Belgrade/Novi Sad, Serbia. They started in December 2023 with a purpose to deliver important message through fast hardcore punk tunes. In turbulent times that affects state of the world, but also with political turbulence in their home country, their message is relevant and to the point. As everything is political and there's no way to run away from politics - they talk about all frustrations: the horrible state of the society, world and environment, individual arrogance, capitalism, fascism, nationalism... but they also offer to bring possible solutions: antifa, sXe and DIY. Their words and actions support all initiatives that stand for mentioned possible solutions. PERIPETIJA debut release "Zar nisi besan?" 12" (Aren't you angry?) are 10 hardcore-punk tracks that musically describe mentioned problems and solutions, incl. cover by Boston Straight Edge band NO TOLERANCE. (Refuse Records #209)

STATICO - Absurdity of This World LP
After almost four years, this beloved outfit is back. Having performed at numerous shows and festivals throughout the former Yugoslav region, as well as in Hungary, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Austria, they have now recorded 12 new songs. This time, they tracked everything as a five-piece. Adding a second guitar player resulted in longer, better-structured songs, packed with amazing riffs and powerful breakdowns. Lyrically, the band is even angrier and more politically charged-driven by the current situations in Serbia and the Middle East, and unafraid to call problems by their name, speaking out against global injustice fueled by greed, colonialism, and rising chauvinism in any form. Absurdity of This World draws heavily from the old-style of hardcore punk, blending traditional US hardcore with European classics. Think a perfect mix of JERRY'S KIDS, POISON IDEA and TOTALITAR, charged with the ferocity of newer bands like SCARECROW and GLAM. The result is more than 20 minutes of relentless, hard-hitting hardcore punk. Each record comes with a double-sided insert featuring photos and lyrics, plus an additional printed poster illustrated by Zerominded. Artwork by Mihael Cucek Recorded by the band and Igor KuzmanoviC in Belgrade. Mixed by Stevan Cirovic. Mastered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studio. (Refuse Records #214)

POINT OF NO RETURN - Gloves Are Off demo 7"
Dutch POINT OF NO RETURN was a short lived militant radical leftist hard-edge band from Kerkrade-West, which existed between 1989-1991. During their time they managed to release one legendary demo where they mixed provocation and fun with radical politics and straight edge in the style of bands like Project X and especially Colt Turkey. In their lyrics, on stage, in interviews, everywhere PONR portrayed themselves as this extreme HxE group. Obviously not everyone got the joke, but that made it even more funny. Until they noticed things were getting a little out of hand. That's when they decided it was enough, 1991. By then Rob, Roger and Mike already had another project up and running, FEEDING THE FIRE. Their serious band, so to say. Which was already getting some attention and was getting pretty active. They had fun, they ridiculed that stupid radical US thing, pissed off and/or confused quite some people locally and wherever else, but in the meantime also made a lot of new friends and were more focused than ever on getting out there voicing their opinion! This is a vinyl reissue of their self-released demo from 1990. 9 tracks incl. a cover of the early 80's Boston's band DECADENCE. Feat. an 8-page booklet and sticker. An important document of the early 90's European straight edge hardcore scene that you should not miss. Limited to 215 copies. XXX. (Refuse Records #213)

UKRAINA - Polska Mafia: Demo '84 7"
The band UKRAINA is another example of how punk emerged and firmly established itself outside the big Polish cities and major cultural centers. They started in 1983 in Brzozow, a small town in south-eastern Poland. Sixty kilometres east of Brzozow is another small town: Ustrzyki Dolne, where one of the first punk rock bands in Poland, KSU, started in the late 70s. Their nationwide fame echoed through the surrounding towns and activated young bands. In Brzozow, as early as the late 1970s and in the first half of the 1980s, the first punk bands began to appear - BLUFF, CKM or MARTWY FIOLET, from which UKRAINA later emerged. Similarly to KSU, the band's name refers to their geographical location and proximity to Ukraine, or more precisely at that time, the proximity to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. The band's early inspirations were in line with what was listened to in Ustrzyki, so a mix of classic 70s punk and also some post punk and new wave. However, it wasn't long before the tempo was turned up considerably and their transformation into a hardcore punk band took place. They are one of the few bands in Poland during this period to be heavily inspired by hardcore from the United States. One of the bands from this wave that made the biggest impression was Minor Threat and their Straight Edge message. Heavily inspired by this, it was UKRAINE right next to Krakow's ID (and a while later U.O.M) that became one of the first bands promoting Straight Edge in Poland. Their leaflet from that period, distributed at their shows, is most probably the first publication on Straight Edge in Poland, or anywhere in the Eastern Bloc. At that time, in that place and in that reality, it was a completely subversive idea. Between 1984 and 1985, the band recorded two demos, the first of which is unfortunately lost. This second four-track recording was sent to the organising committee of the Jarocin festival, for which the band qualified and they performed there on a small stage.It is this demo that now comes out here on vinyl as an EP, featuring three of the band's songs + one unusual cover originally performed by one of the biggest 60's "bigbeat" bands, Czerwone Gitary (referred often as "Polish Beatles"). In addition to their appearance at Jarocin Fest, significant events for them were shows in Krakow, Cz?stochowa and Warsaw (together with STAN ZVEZDA). Their recordings appeared on small-run underground cassette compilations released in Poland by Ela and Maciek Chodorowski ('Polish H-C' and 'Jarocin "85") and abroad ('Noise Behind The Iron Curtain"). This phase of the band ended in 1986. UKRAINA returned in 1992 with a new line-up and at the same time returned to their fascination with classic 70s punk. It was not until 1995 that the first material was officially released (the cassette 'XX wiek' on Psy Wojny Records). The band is still active and their new albums are released on Jimmy Jazz Records. This seven-inch vinyl release documents their hardcore-era during their sharpest and most raw period. The EP is accompanied by a booklet with the band's history, lyrics and photos. One pressing, limited to 500 copies. Released on Refuse Records and Warsaw Pact Records. (Refuse Records/Warsaw Pact Records #29)

CHAOS - Trzy LP
Released on cassette in 1989. Bands with the name CHAOS can probably be found in every local scene around the world. This is the Warsaw version of CHAOS, and they chose this name for themselves in spite of the fashionable trend at the time for bands to select long and absurd names. Maybe it wasn't very sophisticated or original, but they preferred to leave the originality to the music they were making. They set off in 1987 and just happened to be part of a new chapter in the national punk scene, which coincided with the twilight of communist Poland. The term hardcore became more widely used and offered a new quality through independently released cassettes, networking and the emergence of new bands with a fresh outlook. The capital's CHAOS was one of them. Instantly becoming one of the better groups of the local scene, when compared to the rest of the national hardcore scene, they had something of their own and were easily recognizable. Their first full show was a performance alongside TZN XENNA during Rock Front. Right after that they played with MOSKWA or FOTONESS. They appeared at the Rock Pokoju festival, as well as at a number of shows outside of Warsaw. Their last show was a performance alongside VERBAL ASSAULT in Warsaw's club Hybrydy. They were supposed to play Jarocin Festival in 1990, for which the band had qualified, but this did not materialize due to the emigration of one of the members. This meant nothing less than the definitive end of their activities as a band. After 1990, the ship with the Polish hardcore flag gained wind in its sails, but the CHAOS emblem was no longer on board. Surely the band would be mentioned more often, just as we mention THE CORPSE, H.C.P., ID, U.O.M., TRYBUNA BRUDU, OD JUTRA or SKTC as some of the more important and powerful points in the formation of the truly independent DIY Polish HxC scene. The demo they left behind is so solidly recorded and well-played that it would be an oversight not to remind us of this important HC band of the late 1980s wave. An excerpt from this session was originally released on a split cassette with H.C.P. on Rebel Art Tapes/Atak Zine in 1989. The whole thing, expanded by one live track, was released as a stand-alone cassette called "Trzy", which was released in several different editions, among others by the band itself and also on Enigmatic Tapes. This vinyl contains only the basic studio material and is accompanied by a booklet with archival photos and a reprint of an interview from the QQRYQ zine. Mastering from the original by Smok and Mario/Studio As One. (Refuse Records/Warsaw Pact Records #28)

OKRES - Demo '85/Jarocin '85 LP
Polish Punx of the 80s associated the city Ostrow Wielkopolski with two bands: PROWOKACJA and OKRES. The former were more recognisable, but both were characterised by their rapid no thrills hardcore punk. Both were active at a similar time. OKRES' performance at the festival showed that they are one of the fastest playing bands in Poland. Their pace was not inferior to that of their peers from Finland, Holland or Italy. The subjects of the lyrics touched on the worries of the Cold War generation and the confinement behind the curtain - wars rolling across the globe, arms race, militarisation, the nuclear threat, revulsion at politicians. The need to point out the world's mess conquered by ultra hardcore was more important than technical skill or attention to good sound. This came in the subsequent years of the band. Throughout the same year they recorded two demos, at least one of which was sent to the organisers of the festival in Jarocin and they got invitation where they played on the same day as ABADDON, also with ANTI-ARMA and KARCER, who were starting their long adventures at that time, as well as with ZBOMBARDOWANA LALECZKA and AGONIA, among others. Two songs from their set found their way onto the cassette compilation "Jarocin '85" released by the Chodorowski couple on Polish-HC Tapes and appeared on the international tape-trading network. In 1986, the band returned to Jarocin. Unfortunately, the band's anti-war message did not protect some of the line-up from compulsory military service. Thus, they were forced to suspend themselves and did not manage to record anything in a more decent studio or release anything in the 1980s, not even their own cassette. An album recorded in the early 1990s at the Zlota Skala Studio never saw the light of day. It was only after thirteen years of existence that the band made their debut album (not counting the Live '92 cassette) - 'Patridiotism' for QQRYQ Productions was released in 1997. At the time they were closely associated with the band HEROINA. The 17 tracks on this album come from a demo recorded at the local culture centre and a soundboard recordings of their live set at Jarocin '85. Traditionally, the Jarocin series will feature a gatefold cover, an inner sleeve with lyrics and a booklet with a contemporary interview with the band. Mastering by Smok and Mario / Studio As One. Documentary of the first chapter of the OKRES history. Their own contribution to the 'Anarchy in the People's Republic of Poland' as they sang. This is what the 'Garage Ostrow' of the mid-1980s sounded like. (Refuse Records/Warsaw Pact Records #26)

THE CORPSE - Jarocin '88 LP
The years 1980-1986 are considered the most important in the history of the Jarocin festival. After 1986 there was an organizational reshuffle and many of the existing participants felt that its character was changing. However, this did not mean that it did not abound in memorable performances or did not surprise with the quality of new bands. One such gem was undoubtedly the set of THE CORPSE. With this release we reach for the first time to the Jarocin material from the late 1980s. A good quality archival recording of the historic performance of The Corpse. It left no one indifferent. Their program made a huge impression on those who were able to appreciate the excellent level of the band and the unprecedented sound described as hardcore thrash, but also met with a complete misunderstanding of punk-traditionalists. This show was also an opportunity for a wider presentation of the best band from the new wave of the domestic hardcore underground, which was already part of an inter-city and international network for the exchange and distribution of their own tapes, records or fanzines. Something that developed on a huge scale in Poland in the early 1990s That same year, the band released its legendary demo "Fight against rules," now a Polish hardcore punk classic of international significance. This recording of a live set during Jarocin '88 is an excellent addition to the band's discography and history, but also to the history of underground hardcore punk in Poland. Mastering by Mario/Studio As One. (Refuse Records/Warsaw Pact Records #33)

KONTROLA W. - Bossa Nova LP
KONTROLA W. was founded in 1981 in Zdunska Wola. Initially they performed under the full name KONTROLA WLADZY (CONTROL OF THE POWER), which immediately attracted the interest of the relevant services. Especially since the group's stage debut took place on December 12, 1981 - that is, the day before martial law was declared. They formed as a response to the musical frolic in their city, annoyed at the schematic and derivative sounds generated by formatted musicians. They existed only until 1983, but in that short time of their existence they outdid with their inventive compositions, lyrics, aesthetics and style practically everything that was being created in Poland at the time. All this contrasted sharply with the coarse communist landscape and the musical backwardness that was all around. There was no need to please the public's tastes in what they created. Neither the safe and mainstream one, nor the more direct punk one. Their achievements can be described in terms of new wave or post-punk, but the essence for them was to go beyond any pattern, rather than reproduce another pattern. The British, American or German new wave bands they listened to had some influence on Kontrola W.'s achievements, but the goal was not to sound like one of them, and that goal certainly succeeded. During its existence or even until the end of the 1990s, the band failed to release even a single song, which is a huge gap in the achievements of Polish music culture. It wasn't until 1999 that six tracks from this session were released on the compilation CD/MC "Porzucona generacja" (Pop Noise). The song "Bossa nova" found its way onto the fan compilation "Subnormal Girls - DIY/Post Punk 1979-83 Vol. 1" LP (Waiting Room Records, 2016). Two songs from the Jarocin fest, ended up on the "Jarocin '82" compilation LP on Warsaw Pact Records (2024). This is an absolute a must item for anyone who is into to the wave, post-punk and the Polish or Eastern European altrernative music history. (Refuse Records/Warsaw Pact Records #32)

(restock) MOSKWA - Jarocin '84 LP
And in a moment on stage... Polish DISCHARGE. Their lyrics have a line or two and they play by far the fastest - MOSKWA! (Piotr Naglowski, Jarocin 1984). A complete recording of the competition and final performances from Jarocin '84 by the Lodz-based band. One of the most important and best material of the 80's. Absolute top of the domestic punk / hardcore output. Total rager presented in the performance of Moskwa during the competition set made the band not only hit the top of the festival and could present themselves on the big stage, but also got the opportunity to record four tracks in the studio of Radio Lodz in the same year (released as "Studio '84" 7" on WPR). From that very moment, the group's name would be mentioned as the absolute forefront of Polish Hardcore Punk for decades to come. The band would also become a regular guest at the Jarocin festival. This material from '84 simply blows your mind. The intensity of the songs performed jumps gradually to new levels, they move from one to the next, with no breaks and no moment to catch your breath. Guma drives in with his raspy guitar and desperation-filled vocals shouting lyrics about the real danger of war and nuclear annihilation or the struggle of the individual under constant attack by pervasive propaganda and systemic oppression. Rogoz's thrashing bass heralds the coming nightmare. Palker nabs a fast tempo that keeps the band rushing forward as if there were to be no tomorrow. Neither before nor ever again has anyone from the Polish scene come close to the sound and atmosphere of Discharge as Moskwa does on this material. Excellent recording quality from restored original reel-to-reel tapes by the comrades from Studio As One. A mega classic straight from the legendary Jarocin '84 in gatefold cover and inner sleeve with the lyrics and translations. The whole thing is released for the 40th anniversary of the band! (Refuse Records/Warsaw Pact Records #27)

Descriptions for 7/4/26

SHOTMAKER - Mouse Ear [Forget-Me-Not] LP (orange crush vinyl) (pre-order)
Street date August 18th. This is the excussive version for Ebullition Records. 150 made on Orange Crush Vinyl with hype sticker that with an Ebullition logo. Originally released in 1996 on Troubleman Unlimited, 'Mouse Ear [Forget-Me-Not]' was the second and final album from Canadian post-hardcore heavyweights Shotmaker.

RIDE FOR REVENGE - Angels Fly Low LP
NWN! is proud to present the 2026 studio album Angels Fly Low from Finland's Ride for Revenge, arguably their best and heaviest album to date. This is a direct extension of their established sound-no updates, no compromises. The influence of early Godflesh and Beherit's Drawing Down the Moon is clear, but Ride for Revenge reshapes it into something more stripped down and ugly. Blending black metal and doom into a singular, crawling entity, the band pushes a bass-and-drums-driven approach, often sidelining guitars in favor of low-end weight and primitive rhythm. Angels Fly Low is a dense, suffocating listen: filthy, slow-moving, and immersive in its repetitiveness. The emphasis is on atmosphere and weight, with a low-end presence that pulls everything into the abyss below. (Nuclear War Now Records #792)

GOATVOMIT - s/t LP
This collection assembles Goatvomit's two foundational recordings: the unholy self-titled demo from 2000 and the NWN released "Chapel of the Winds of Belial" 7? from 2001. Both releases have been out of print for over two decades, becoming increasingly sought after by devotees of bestial black metal. It is a privilege to resurrect these recordings on a single compilation while we continue to await Goatvomit's long-anticipated full-length album. At the turn of the millennium, the landscape of black metal looked very different than it does today. The dominant trends favored the colder, more atmospheric European sound, while only a handful of bands remained committed to the chaotic and primitive spirit forged by Blasphemy, Beherit, Sarcofago, and Profanatica. Labels dedicated to this style were few and far between. Untouched by trends and immune to the sterile aesthetics of contemporary black metal, Goatvomit has remained steadfastly underground for more than twenty-five years. This compilation stands as a testament to that unwavering dedication; a document of black metal preserved in its most primitive, uncompromising, and authentic form. Hail Hideous Abominations and Goatvomit! (Nuclear War Now Records #793)

Cd features liner notes about every release by joe w. Absolutely foul. (Haunted Hotel Records #154)

(restock) MALIGNANCY - Intrauterine Canniabalism LP (oxblood red swirl vinyl)
Malignancy's Intrauterine Cannibalism remains a landmark in brutal death metal-not because it redefined the genre's boundaries with abstract progressions or studio wizardry, but because it mastered the very chaos that so many others merely flirt with. Clocking in at a lean 33 minutes, the album is a surgically precise assault: unrelenting in its speed and intent, yet never losing track of what matters most-the riff. From the opening seconds, there's no warm-up, no theatrical overture; just instantaneous carnage. The riffage is impossibly dense and constantly mutating, driven by a blistering, technically advanced drum performance from Roger J. Beaujard (of MORTICIAN fame). There's an undeniable grind influence beneath the death metal architecture, with blastbeats acting less as filler and more as controlled detonations that highlight the surgical violence of the guitars. For die hards of: None So Vile, early Devourment, and death metal with brains behind the brutality. (Haunted Hotel Records #145)

(restock) DO-IT-YOURSELF SCREENPRINTING book
This is a how-to book that covers screenprinting in depth. All done through the contect of comics. (Miscrocosm #76034)

(restock) GATECREEPER - s/t LP (10th anniversary edition)
10 year anniversary edition with 4 bonus songs. Remastered. After forming in Arizona in 2013, Gatecreeper amassed a significant, dedicated, and very diverse fanbase around the world pretty rapidly. Becoming known for their combination of creativity and brutality, as well as devastating live performances, these early songs cemented what would become the backbone of their undeniable sound. From there the legend has only grown as they have released several highly-regarded albums while touring the world playing alongside some of metal and hardcore's most notable acts. On this 10th anniversary release we find the 4 original tracks from their eponymous 2014 debut, plus 3 songs from their out-of-print split 7"s with YAITW and TOAD, and the 4-way split LP on Melotov. Completely remastered for vinyl by James Plotkin (Bongripper, Voivod, Khanate) and pressed at 45rpm for maximum punishment, the record also includes updated back cover artwork and poster insert. (King of The Monsters #97)

THE CHEIFS - Blues 7" + 128 page booklet
Loving reissue of the iconic 1978 single from this short-lived Los Angeles, CA, punk outfit. The Cheifs need no introduction as their three-track EP immediately etched itself into the collective punk consciousness upon its release. To match the legacy this EP garnered in the ensuing decades, this release is accompanied by a 128-page booklet and a never-before-heard bonus track - an alternate take of the title track. (Puke N Vomit Records #277)

THE GUN CLUB - Miami LP
The Gun Club's punk-blues classic, 1982 album, "Miami," returns with a new, standard-edition vinyl reissue via Blixa Sounds.

The Gun Club recorded a few albums after "Miami," but this one with the original band is considered their masterpiece. (Blixa Sounds #898)

Descriptions for 6/27/26

HAGGUS - The Mincecore Manifesto LP (colored vinyl) (shipping now!)
Positioned between classic anarcho-punk urgency and the most unhinged edges of goregrind, "The Mincecore Manifesto" cements Haggus as the definitive force in modern Mincecore. Arriving just one year after their Tankcrimes debut, the freaks are back... faster, filthier and more unhinged - channeling fan response into eight relentless tracks that strip the sound back to its rawest, most uncompromising form. Rooted in the DNA of their early material but pushed to a more violent extreme, this record delivers a pungent, punishing statement of intent. Lyrically, it rips into the political volatility of 2026 with raw hostility, pairing stripped-down songwriting with explosive energy to deliver a vicious return to form and chaotic escalation in their sound. No filler. No compromise. Just pure Mincecore violence. "This record is dedicated to anyone speaking up, resisting and fighting fascism in 2026. Now, more than ever, is no time for silence or fencewalking. The billionaires and oligarchs will use everything in their power to keep you too distracted, overwhelmed and exhausted to notice we are headed for a global fascist state. Their interest benefits no one but themselves and will bleed this planet dry. Every aspect of life under the capitalist boot is designed to profit off mass suffering while selling you on convenience. Do not let them fool you. No one is free until we're all free." - Hambone (Tankcrimes Records #153)

DIAT - S.O.36 Berlin Sept '22 LP
On a rare evening in 2022, the city of Berlin found all 4 members of its favorite gloomy post-punk band inside the walls of the legendary Kreuzberg venue S.O.36. A historic and culturally vital institution that has housed heaps of classic performances reaching all the way back to 1978. DIAT was in top form this evening, and we were lucky to learn the sound people were wise enough to hit record at the desk. The set was atmospheric and tense throughout but highlighted with moments of intimate playfulness that one is normally only privy to in person. The crowd was treated to a mixed bag of beloved album tracks and obscure catalog deep cuts - some of which have never been available on vinyl before now. The band rarely played at that point and will most likely not play again any time soon, so this LP is your best shot at hearing one of the greatest bands do the thing they were born to do. 700 copies of 150gr black vinyl housed in a 350gsm jacket with A4 insert included. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Tobi Lill. Mushroom art by Tatiana Vizir with layout by Jensen Ward. FFO: New Order bootlegs, ZickZack deep cuts, Australian post punk, German efficiency. (Iron Lung Records #321)

ALIEN NOSEJOB - How A Mosquito Operates LP
(no export to Australia) Long known as a fast and chaotic punk adjacent entity with a wonderful sense of humor, ALIEN NOSEJOB has used the 'How A Mosquito Operates' vehicle to take a refreshed look at hardcore and bring an exciting new energy to it. You can always count on Jake to offer the unexpected. We love this approach. No rules! Sometimes you get a laid-back synth-punk jam, a swaggered backbeat rock 'n' roll banger or, in this case, a blistering 17 song hardcore album. There's a lot of different influences mashed together (Adrenaline OD, early MDC, Neos), some more obvious than others, but no direct ripoffs or lazy genre exercises are to be had here. People conflate ANJ as a concept album band, but this one is a little freer in its approach. Handling some of the classic lyrical tropes (alienation, conformism, consumerism, anti Gov / War...) with an audacious ease and cool dexterity kind of acts as the glue to hold this wild crash together. It's cohesive in its non-cohesiveness, "just whatever was giving me the shits on the day of writing. ALIEN NOSEJOB started as a loner bedroom recording project with no fixed genre, mutating over time into a 6-piece band with a restless punk-adjacent core. After 7 albums, 7 EPs, and 7 tours across Australia and overseas, the numbers started lining up - a kind of accidental 777. Not quite divine intervention, but close enough to feel like something bigger than a bedroom project. 900 made with 24pt jacket with different inserts made for US and Australian copies included. Recorded by Jake Robertson. Mixed by Jake Robertson and Mikey Young. Mastered by Mikey Young. Artwork by Max Burlingame. Released together by Iron Lung Records in the US and Anti Fade Records in Australia. FFO: Adrenaline OD, Raw Power, RMFC, Ausmuteants, Uranium Club, Neos. (Iron Lung Records #310)

CONSENSUS MADNESS - Endeavors LP
"Let's wage a war against austerity, banality and brutality." Chicagoans and dear friends CONSENSUS MADNESS have arrived with a short, sharp shamble of a debut album... sung in provincial Midwest accents of course! A love-letter to proto-punk, first wave, and hardcore punk as a whole. With the infectious nature of their boisterous enthusiasm it would be impossible to not to pogo along to these commoving, raucous tunes. It's the best way to battle the monotony of the day-to-day grind and the general feelings of absurdity of the world as we know it. 'Endeavors' was inspired by a healthy dose of Dangerhouse, UK77, neue deutsche welle, 90s Japanese garage, The Midwest, the grind, and an unending enthusiasm for great music that is still being made in the weird corners of this crazy world. Get timeless! 500 copies on black 140gr vinyl housed in a 24pt reverse board jacket with insert included. Recorded by David Wolf. Mixed by Scott Plant. Mastered by Mikey Young. Photos by Thaib Wahab with art direction by Martin Sorrondeguy. FFO: Amyl and the Sniffers, Snooper, the Chats, Cold Meat, Ariana Grande, Beton Arme. "But WE like: The Bags, the Stalin, X Ray Specs, Sparks, Rudimentary Peni, The Registrators, Hansaplast, All Hits ;). (Iron Lung Records #309)

KLONNS - G.A.M.E.S LP
This is the NEW WAVE OF JAPANESE HARDCORE. KLONNS are back with a sophomore ripper! Executed with passion, dexterity and extreme focus. Even better than 'Heaven'. Better than heaven. Blasphemous hyperbole, sure, but the shit slays no matter how you term it. What comprises a heaven? A gooey soft place where your supposed soul can rest blandly for eternity? Yuck. We want action, we want fire, we want volume! Combining key elements of classic 80s/90s Japanese hardcore, NYHC, DIY punk/metal/crust and nowadays mosh, 'G.A.M.E.S' has furthered KLONNS' mission of uniting the oft splintered factions of the global punk/hardcore scene by offering countless opportunities to slam and worm together in the pit. They continue to be one of the hardest working bands in the entire Japanese punk scene, touring worldwide whenever the chance presents itself. You will see them somewhere, no matter where you are. And it will be one of the best things you ever see. Pressed on 150gr vinyl housed in a 350gsm jacket with insert included. Recorded by Yui Kimijima (Tsubame Studio). Mixed by Yusuke Shinma (Studio REIMEI). Mastered by Charles Toshio (The Panda Studios). Art and design by Andro Kristian. FFO: Lip Cream, Leeway, Gudon, Gag, Hoax, Agnostic Front. Released in Japan by Black Hole and in the US by Iron Lung. (Iron Lung Records #312)

INNUMERABLE FORMS - Fossilized Demons 2010-2023 CD
What started in 2008 as an under-the-radar side project for one of Boston Hardcore's stalwarts has rotted into a five corpsed morgue of death/doom heaviness. This collection brings out all the now cult-status EPs into one fluorescent lab light for all the metal examiners to inspect. Hear the life beyond life slip into oblivion in reverse chronological order, left with nothing, cold and alone. That is the way music is meant to be heard. Now rest... We asked the band's founder and only lifelong member, Justin DeTore about this compilation of short format bursts versus the torturous length of the albums: "I love the LPs but sometimes I feel like this is the way Forms was meant to be. Two different beasts. Cult EP band." 500 copies of glass mastered compact discs housed in a classic jewel case with 12 page inner included. 'Dark Worship', 'Frozen To Death', and 'Petrified' sessions recorded by Chris Corry. 'Despotic Rule' and 'The Fall Down' sessions recorded by Arthur Rizk. Remastered in 2026 by Greg Wilkinson. Art by Form Terror Growth. Layout by Jensen Ward. FFO: Eternal Darkness, Demigod, Incantation, Mortiferum, Abhorrence. (Iron Lung Records #319 CD)

SIYAHKAL - Corrupt LP
"After making us wait a decade for their first LP, SIYAHKAL hesitate none to deliver another blow to the head. A year later, another twelve inches. On "Corrupt," their trademark gallop comes through clearer while no less mired in ear-piercing qualls of noise. Unrelenting in intensity for its 12-minute run time, "Corrupt" has a certain urgency to it - a frustration, a tension and release. If it slows, it's only to recollect and come back blazing. At moments, the record harkens to the dissonance of LP-era DIE KREUZEN. At others, it harnesses the hypnotism of the first UNA BESTIA INCONTROLABLE LP. Here, SIYAHKAL uses rhythmic propulsion like a jackhammer to the skull. If there are prisoners being taken, it will not be them. Through all of it are KG's gruff vocals, and lyrics that aim to capture the very moment that the greater "we" all find ourselves in - under the boot of States that neglect our very right to be free. Iran or America, the people in power are all the same. They see us all as fodder for war, to maintain their power. And with 'Corrupt,' this injustice is not just written into word, but screamed into song." (Static Shock Records #135)

This album compiles that record, a pair of compilation tracks, as well as unreleased live recordings that showcase both the anger and the hopefulness that Justice League had when they wanted to change the world, and give the audience an option without drugs. (Indecision Records #210)

OUTSPOKEN - The Current LP (yellow w/ black splatter vinyl) Formed in Huntington Beach, CA, Outspoken began with a single phone call in late 1989 that brought together the band's original members, launching a journey that would span more than three decades. By mid 1993, the band had written, recorded, and released "The Current," an EP that redefined their sound and solidified the message, intensity, and purpose for which they are most remembered today. Available for the first time as a 12", this reissue includes the three original 7" tracks, the two additional tracks from the original CDep, as well as two bonus compilation tracks, "Spark" and "Spoke." This is the yellow with black splatter vinyl version. (Equal Vision Records #550)

CALAMITY - s/t LP
Rock'n'roll from Hamilton, Ontario has a certain feel that sets it apart, something that reflects the city's unpretentious industrial roots. Think Teenage Head, whose music, for all its fire and energy, betrayed a soul and craftmanship a million years from the posing and deliberate amateurism of their '70s punk contemporaries. Fast forward to 22026, and that spirit permeates the debut album from Calamity: while the quality of playing and composition recalls classic hard rock a la primo AC/DC and Thin Lizzy, the roughness and energy of delivery is pure and undiluted, giving this a feel remarkably similar to modern Australian groups like Civic, Split System, and Judges. And yeah, it's that good. (Unrest Records/And Lager Records #1)

(restock) SPIRITISTE - Excommunication Hymns LP
One of the best bands that played King of the Monsters fest! From Louisiana's capital city of Baton Rouge come Spiritiste, an occult-influenced emotional hardcore band. Spiritiste's politically charged debut album, Excommunication Hymns, is a rage-filled effort that rallies against religious and political oppression, and reflects on the emotional trauma of trying to survive in the current fetid political climate/environment. Still, across these ten very expressive, cathartic tracks, the band does ultimately retain hope for a better world. Sonically, Spiritiste have crafted a fresh, but identifiable, sound with dynamics that shift between steady and composed to chaotic sonic bedlam. Spiritiste draw upon core influences that include '90s hardcore bands like Shotmaker and Portraits of Past, but also salute noise rock mainstays Jesus Lizard and Chat Pile, and contemporary screamo acts like State Faults, Habak, and Frail Body. Recorded and produced by Matt Bear, and mastered by Alan Douches, Excommunication Hymns presents a fully realized vision out-of-the-gate and establishes a musical call-to-arms for those marginalized and traumatized by a deeply rooted authoritarian cult. (Protagonist/Tor Johnson Records #72)

POLICY OF 3 - discography LPx2 (grey vinyl)
Pressed on eco-friendly "graphite" gray vinyl (made from recycled vinyl materials). Policy of 3 was one of the great melodic hardcore bands from the mid 1990s (in the late '80s and early '90s they were known as Matter of Fact). Their sound was passionate and compelling with a sound that was cutting edge at a time when the late 1980s Dischord harD.C.ore sound was thriving and mutating. This style of emotive and melodic hardcore was resonating all across the world; It was all about passion, anger, intensity and authenticity... the intensity of aggression was easily matched by the intensity of passion. This was long before emo was considered a genera, and long before emo became entangled with frivolous and mainstream indie rock. Policy of 3 helped to define this '90s sound/genera and this release is an amazing testament to one of the great passionate hardcore bands from that time. This new vinyl release is a split between Ebullition Records and Protagonist Records. 500 made. (Ebullition Records #54.5/Protagonist Records #113)

SUICIDE NATION - A Requiem... For All That Ever Mattered CD
Left over CDs from 1999! Found under King of the Monster's bed. Suicide Nation were one of the first hardcore bands who were explicitly influenced by At the Gates (taking their name from a song on "Slaughter of the Soul"). This is one brutal metal band that really takes themselves seriously. If you ever saw them live then you will be amazed as they spent five minutes discussing their songs, and then proceeded to puncture your ear drums and snap your neck with brutal hardcore influenced metal. (King of The Monsters Records #13)

FUCKED UP - Year of the Monkey LPx2
Limited Lavender colored vinyl. Includes 20 page 6" x 8" full color booklet and download card. "Year of the Monkey" is the second chapter in the Grass Can Move Stones trilogy, picking up where "Year of the Goat" left off. This is the second chapter of their universe expanding trilogy which picks up where "Year of the Goat" left off, following Monkey and Good Goat on their further adventures through space, consciousness and time. Anchored vocally again by Damian Abraham and Tuka Mohammed, on Year of the Monkey Fucked Up are joined by an incredible chorus of guest voices which bring to life the brilliantly crafted and imaginative supporting characters of Grass Can Move Stones. Among them are John Brannon (Negative Approach, Laughing Hyenas), Carson McHone (The Outfit, Carson McHone), Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today), Dan Bejar (Destroyer), Keith Morris (Circle Jerks, Off!), Jake Bannon (Converge), Brandon Welchez (Crocodiles), Chris Colohon (Left For Dead, Cursed), Leigh Arthur (Extravision, Sissy) and Annie-Claude Desch�nes (Duchess Says) reprising her role as Tiger from FU's 2012 release "Year of the Tiger." The motifs, themes, and structures of the music directly interlace with the story and characters in - even for Fucked Up - unprecedented levels of compositional development and detail. Year of the Goat was pastoral, uplifting, and inquisitive, establishing a framework for how the music on Grass Can Move Stones works. On Goat we were re-introduced to the musical thematics from Year of the Dog, Year of the Pig, and Year of the Snake and given the Goat specific majestic choruses of "Wake my child and turn your ear" which you will still see references to peppered throughout the incoming sides. (Tankcrimes Records #152)

HUMAN - (dis)Grace LP (one sided with etching on B side)
One sided LP with B-side etching. Colored vinyl. Ripping hardcore thrash featuring members of EXTORTION, LACK OF INTEREST, & SPAZZ, (dis)Grace an old school sounding record that incites and decimates with 9 songs in as many minutes. The reassurance of Power Violence has brought these respective band members together to create a time portal of thrash induced hardcore that won't recreate the wheel, but instead, maintains the crushing velocity of what birthed the movement in the first place. (Deep Six records #306)

BURNED UP BLED DRY - Next Stop... Dead Stop LP/CD/cassette tape
Debut album from Fayetteville, Arkansas's BURNED UP BLED DRY. 26 songs in 25 minutes, mixing crushing down tuned Mid-South heaviness and intense power violence blasting with the clarity, hooks and direct edge of 80's hardcore punk. Devastating music with bleak, to the point lyrics, these are all new songs written and recorded last year after the band found themselves all living back in Arkansas a few years ago and resumed playing live, combined with a few unreleased songs from the 1990's. This planet is a fucking trainwreck......Next stop... Dead Stop...

ORCHID - Dance Tonight!! 10" (neon orange 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 neon orange vinyl. (Ebullition #46)

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)

(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)

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)

PORTRAITS OF PAST - 01010101 LP (black vinyl) (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)

VISIONS - Decay LP (gold vinyl)
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)

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)
