::::: NEW STUFF :::::
amen ra - mass iii 2x12'' [18€]
llabel: sound devastation
finally on vinyl!
"europe's leading dronemetal band, producing huge walls of sound, amenra have often been compared to metal stalwarts like neurosis, isis and pelican, but their confounding and compelling sound that mixes surrealist melody and warped subtleties with churning rhythms, pummeling riffs and crushing dynamics stands on it's own."

arms and sleepers - black paris 86 cd [9€]
label: expect candy
"arms and sleepers started one night in the back of an ambulance destined for hampton road in boston's south side. in an alleyway a man was bleeding with a cassette player in hand, the play button still on. what sounded like recordings of a gospel choir blared from the tin speaker while down the street, a jazz band could be heard. the man was dying. he dropped the cassette player on the cement and closed his eyes, the sound carrying through the air into his ears for one last time. though this moment in time died with him, his cassette lived on and arms and sleepers was born.
listening to 'black paris 86' feels like sitting in a cinema, watching landscapes, beauty and tragedy. feeling warm and safe while a hint of mystery seems to whisper that not everything is ok out there. the latter doesn't seem to be far fetched when ramic talks about the band's name: 'for me, the meaning of arms and sleepers is the meaning of so much of the world today and in the past, and probably the future. while so many are fighting and killing ("arms"), others are ignoring it all (the "sleepers").'"

calling gina clark & dispensing of false halos - split 7'' [3,50€]
label: crucificados pelo sistema
"cgc combines elements of bands like reversal of man jeromes dream and tech bands like dillinger escape plan .. blastbeats alternate with jazzish parts and break down in a brutal screamy steamroller .. very good politics .. dofh comes from the states and includes ex members of eclipse of eden and in loving memory .. incredible screamy hc .. i am short of words to describe how good they are .. bands like joshua fit for battle love lost but not forgotten come to my mind .. this release is a split label release between crucificados pelo sistema from germany and init records from the states .. comes in solid white vinyl .. the cover is a very nice diy product and is directly printed on the pvc sleeve"
carosah - demo cdr [3,50€]
label: selfreleased
"for a band so young, this recording is absolutely startling, and i dare say it's probably better than most other hardcore bands in ireland at the moment. heavy, inventive and intelligent, and delivered with a focus and maturity that belies their years. this band are pretty much the biggest hope this little scene of ours has right now..."

damezumari - hitherandthitering waters of 10'' [9€]
label: sticky translucent goo
"this record fucking rules. fantastic musicianship displayed through this brillant 10 inch record of dynamic, urgent hardcore. if you dig early hot cross off minor or catena collapse you will love this record.) its an amazing debut - limited to 500 copies and it comes tri-colour sleeves screenprinted by angelino milano"

damezumari / fire team charley - split 12'' [9€]
labels: sticky translucent goo, roklok, magister ludi
"damezumari plays tightly knit, dynamic hardcore that is a cross between early hot cross, though not as abrasive mixed with more tuneful modern post hardcore such as life at these speeds. and with all of this talk of damezumari i don't want that to overshadow the fantastic batch of songs that texas based fire team charlie contributes to this split. fire team charlie play passionately sung mid west emo that is beatifully frantic at times and recalls taut stop/start hardcore of yaphet kotto as well as the melodic anthemic clamor of sinaloa or even a pinch of rites of spring. this projetc is an absolute joy for me to be a part of for so many reasons,and i encourage everyone to pick up a copy. this is co-release effort with sticky translucent goo and is limited to 500 pieces. each record is packed with handscreened cover and lyric booklet."

dimitirj - words - objects 12'' [10€]
labels: noise appeal, laserlife
"dimitrij was founded as a collective of five individuals in spring 2005. mixing the member's various musical influences resulted in a unique brand of explosive screamo/posthardcore, meaning: none of the usual underoath clones. their from ebullition bands influenced sound can be located somewhere between the soundscapes of late at the drive-in, the anxiety of eaves and the explosive power of portraits of past. progressive with a punkrock attitude, borderlining between noise and silence, dimitrij deliver twisted rhythms and unpredictable song structures with a melody or two hidden underneath."

fire team charley - s/t 7'' [4€]
labels: ghost hunt, wrapped in plastic
handscreened & handnumbered!!
"screamo band from houston, tx that came together in 2004 featuring an ex member of burned out bright and the walls you've built. after several lineup changes, they have established their sound which is similar to damezumari, the walls you've built, burned out bright, d'amore, rites of spring, portraits of past, etc."

logs - s/t tape [3,50€]
label: sleep decay
this is simply great. this threepiece from olympia has only been playing together for about half a year but in our opinion they are more then worth to be released and spread around! to give a first impression, if you like shotmaker, the red scare, cap'n jazz and old engine down, you will definitely love logs. but yeah, even if you never ever have read the above names you will most likely like them right from the start.
