Downpresser - Age of Ignorance
Great hardcore from California. Way better then Creatures and Violation, Downpresser deserves to be the famous one.

[Acid King]

Craft - Total Soul Rape

Hits the spot. This is exactly the kind of black metal I can get behind.

[CMoon]

Craft - Total Soul Rape

Funny, didn't listen to that one very long ago. Mostly listening to jazz these days, but listened to Granulosum's The final stand the other day and it was doing pretty much what I wanted a black metal album to do.

[mesh control]

Aerosols new LP.

[Vyxx]

Gorod - Process of a new Decline

New drummer is so much better.

Get his "Mobius Beard" album, when you're done with that one. More excellentness.

The Japandroids are pretty rad. Anything from Fireworks is great too. If you like pop-punk, check them out. They're from my area.

[professor ganson]

Craft - Total Soul Rape

This is nice. I especially like the opening tracks.

[TigerCraneFist]

recently got a new record player so I have been listening to some classics on vinyl... just need to figure out how to get these on my computer now

Stars and Stripes- Shaved for battle
Judge - Chung King can sick it EP
**various early revelations 7 inches**
Chorus of Disapproval- Truth gives wings to strength

after so many years I still love this shit... brings back so many memories

[Jon]

The Japandroids are pretty rad.

I agree.

Currently enjoying:

A Sunny Day In Glasgow - Ashes Grammar
Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice

Very sad news today for punk fans as Jay Reatard was apparently found dead in his home:

Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice

Good shit.

Oren Ambarchi - Grapes From The Estate

I really tried to listen to Oren Ambarchi, and I love his work on Sunn O)))'s Monoliths & Dimensions, but I just cannot listen to him seriously. I think it's TOO minimalistic for me.

[Square King]

I really tried to listen to Oren Ambarchi, and I love his work on Sunn O)))'s Monoliths & Dimensions, but I just cannot listen to him seriously. I think it's TOO minimalistic for me.

Yeah, there's very little movement to a lot of his stuff, but I dig his tones and approach to guitar. I'm kind of a drone nut, so less movement isn't a big deal. It's weird, though -- I can't make myself like Sunn O))) even though they're right up my alley.

Check out what he did on Melatonin for something less sparse:

Also, headphones and/or a good set of speakers for best results. I generally hate it when people have to include that disclaimer about any kind of music, but it's really a must for this stuff.

[Acid King]

Disappearer - The Clearing
Pagan Altar - Lords of Hypocrisy
Hour of 13 - s/t (Good call on this one, Rob)

[tommyb]

Disappearer - The Clearing

Hell yeah. I love that album.

[drunken starsailor]

As of right now I am listening to,


The Pillows discography. (Torrents are a godsend.)
Heard a few Team Sleep songs last night.
Game OSTs. Primarily Cave shit.
I listened to a couple Blur songs yesterday.


That's all. I'm getting tired of music in general.

[Acid King]

Disappearer - The Clearing

Hell yeah. I love that album.

Yeah, it is quite good. It says something when the worst thing I have to say about an album is that I like a previously recorded version of one song more than the LP version.

[scrilla4rella]

Depeche Mode - Exciter

excellent choice, produced by Mr. Mark "LFO" Bell

[spadgy]

I'm not sure what's going on, by I'm really getting into dancehall. Beenieman Vs Mad Cobra is distracting me right now.

[Rob]

Master - s/t + On the Seventh Day God Created... Master
Chicago - Chicago Transit Authority
Crosby Stills & Nash - s/t
Hunger - Strictly From Hunger
Frumpy - 2 -- only a 70s rock band would call themselves Frumpy

[Acid King]

The Grey Wolves - Catholic Priests Fuck Children - awesome power electronics
Noriega - Desolo - ex-Black Sheep Wall, punishing sludge/hardcore
Necro Deathmort - This Beat is Necrotronic - like a doomier version of Scorn

[tommyb]

The Grey Wolves - Catholic Priests Fuck Children - awesome power electronics
Noriega - Desolo - ex-Black Sheep Wall, punishing sludge/hardcore

Again, amazing albums. Props to your taste in music, sir.

Anyway:
Narrows - New Distances (Ex-Members of Botch, sounds like a more refined Botch, mathy hardcore)
Integrity - Systems Overload (Anti-Christian hardcore)
Litany for the Whale - Dolores (Dark-hardcore, for fans of Cursed, Tragedy, Rise and Fall, etc)
and Cursed - Three: Architects of Troubled Sleep (One of the best (dark) hardcore bands of the decade.)

EDIT: Just went back and listened to all of Desolo again. Holy shit, I forgot how insanely heavy this album is.

[Battletoad]

Biohazard - Urban Discipline
Just listened to it to remember how bloody good it is.

Vader - Blood
Just an EP, but awesome as almost all of Vader´s releases. My favourite Death Metal band by far (which doens´t mean I don´t love Death Metal).
