(Almost) Dead and gone

As you can see, I haven't really uploaded anything for quite some time. Since I got a new turntable the sound quality has been complete shit when I rip records and I don't know if I'll ever get around to look into it and fix it.
For now, I'll keep the blog online and occasionally reupload files when requested.

The Deformed 7"s + bonus

Formed in 1978, inspired by bands like Amebix and Killing Joke, featured on Bullshit Detector vol. 2. The band plays a perfect blend of crunchy guitars and synthesizers, creating a gloomy atmosphere  and playing what can perhaps be called crust goth? To me, this is one of the best crust bands, I feel like they are overlooked, and I'd wish they had recorded a full length album. A two-disc compilation album called "The Anarchy Years and Primitive Rituals" was released in 2005, which supposedly includes everything ever recorded by the band, but I haven't had a chance to listen to it, so I don't know if there's any "album" material on it. Anyways, this upload contains the two 7" EPs; one from 1983 (released on the Danish label, Boston Tea Party (which also released a compilation tape in 1983, with bands like Enola Gay, Terveet Kädet and the Deformed)) and one from 1985 (on Twilight Records). Also included in this upload are 4 tracks I downloaded from the band's myspace page years ago.

Note: The band evolved/changed their name into Cress when one of the band members left. 

More Black Flag live shows

Keeping in line with my previous post, here's some more Black Flag live shows. There's two shows with Dez on vocals from 1981, even the last show with him on vocals! Then there's two shows with Henry on vocals, one from 1984 and the last Black Flag show ever! Overall the sound quality is good, a few bad spots here and there but otherwise it's pretty good. Unfortunately the last show (ever) is missing 1½ songs - looks like I might have gotten them from slsk back in the days. Needles to say I've gotten these shows elsewhere so credit goes to where credit is due.

Selvhenter 7" EPs

Some of the best hardcore to come out of Denmark. Tight musicianship, clever lyrics and good production. Nothing much else to say. This upload contains both 7"s, a self-titled EP from 2008 and "To fingre i kudden, fire bøffer i skrutten" from 2009. Songs are sung in danish, but both releases contained lyric sheets. Also, the second EP was released by Bad Hair Life,
MRR said the following that record: 
"I'm at the point now that i see a band is from denmark, i just assume they're fantastic... and once again im proven right! Whereas some of their contemporaries have drawn influence from late -'70/early-80s american punk, SELVHENTER pays homage to all the obscure and fantastic early 80s scandinavian bands, like the ones you would hear on the northern europe editions of "Bloodstains across DK" or "Killed by death". A nice mixture of punk and east thrash makes for a killer sound. Highly recommended"

Black Flag, live at the Calderon Ballroom, Phoenix 1982

Here's a live show with Black Flag from 1982. It's a soundboard recording so the quality is pretty good. Though a bit bass-heavy and occasionally slightly distorted, still, overall it's pretty good. 

The set list contains mainly Slip it In/My War-material, but also a few of the older songs. Unfortunately I'm fairly certain the first track is missing, since the set begins with "Black Coffee" from the get go. Also the last track cuts off at the end.

Despite the flaws, this show is still worth checking out.

PS: Apparently a live show, also from 1982, was released two years ago, but as far as I can see, it's not added on discogs, so I'm unsure if it's legit or not.

Thrasher Skate Rock series vol. 1 - 6.

This upload contains the first six volumes of the Skate Rock series. Now, I'll be honest, none of these files are my own rips. I've gotten these many moons ago from other sites (example) and from different users on soulseek.
I do own all compilation from 1 to 11, and hopefully sometime in the not too distant future I'll get my act together and rip and upload them.

Overall the Skate Rock series is pretty good, a good mix between straight up punk rock acts like, Drunk Injuns, the Faction, McRad, Big Boys, McShred and hardcore/crossover bands like Septic Death, Christ on Parade, Excel, No Mercy, Beöwulf, Slam. Also contains other stuff like Skip Engblom, Steve Caballero, Hell's Kitchen, Fracticide and Ivey's Vine (if anyone has info on this band, please let me know).



Split in two, but both parts aren't needed in order to unzip.

Get them here and here.


PS: P-motion uploaded volume 7, get it here!
