CLUNGE PLUNGER 'Shitcanned' 7"
Release Date 24 December 2017

limited edition of 326 doom black copies

London grinders CLUNGE PLUNGER return with another fat slab of catchy metallic sludgegrind on 'SHITCANNED'. This will be the bands first physical release (they have 2 digital releases preceeding this), but being that they formed in 2012 and having not been inactive in the London crust and grind scene means this is a consummate display of beer drenched blasting, vocals that range from sewer level gutterals to throat wrenching screams, clanking tank-tread bass and growling, gain drenched guitar.

The sludge influence makes itself felt in the slower, almost rock n' roll sections and somewhat in the recording, though this is a very crusty and raw listening experience there is no mismanaging of studio time, with a great level of clarity in the performances. Everything is audible and moves easily and naturally between Eyehategod style riffing, ENT d-beats and outright pulverising contemporary grind in the vein of Rotten Sound or Pig Destroyer.

A crusty, rocking partygrind release well worth it's 12minute runtime!     

LAST CLIMB 'Leave It To Rot' 7"
Release Date 24 December 2017

limited edition of 325 doom black copies
comes with stickers while supplies last

LAST CLIMB present a debut of coruscating Swedish hardcore punk inthe finest tradition of Anti-Cimex, Disfear etc. The guitar/guitar/bass and drums line up find their own sound with a rawness of production and harshness of subject matter, pulling slighty away from some of the more "rock and roll" elements (cheesy solos and upbeat chorus sections) a lot of traditional d-beat bands follow while retaining elements like the occasional screaming lead and foot stomping, moshy riff sections.

Occasionally they sneak cross-genre into sludging slow motion riffing breakdowns, but never for longer than a few seconds before speeding back up to a respectable hardcore kilter. Tonaly the release is reminiscent of hard stuff like Bloody Phoenix with that kind of suffocating level of gain on the guitars, buzzsaw bass tone and maximised snare kicking the listener in the skull, tinted with harsh but not overpowering vocals.

Lyrically LAST CLIMB stick to the themes implied by the name, with a quintessentially Swedish focus on environment most of the 6 tracks deal in someway with depression in addition to the traditionally antifascist subject matter of d-beat hardcore.

All in LEAVE IT TO ROT is an extremely promising debut from a new band that really seem to know their stuff while innovating just enough to give a traditional formula an extra shine.

STUNTMAN | COWARDS Split 7"
release date Friday the 13th, October 2017

limited edition of 203 silver and 321 doom black vinyl copies
comes with a 300g cover and black innsersleeve

Grooving metallic hardcore veterans STUNTMAN open up on 'Parish' with a rolling stomper of a riff that shifts dynamically from palm muted chugging to full bore screaming mosh-violence across the relatively short track length. Building on a solid foundation of huge drums this track has the swaggering attitude of a proper mosh anthem. In common with their fellow Frenchmen in COWARDS this track was recorded live and that raw quality and energy seeps from the pores of this track in infectious waves, other tracks from this recording session are to be released as another split with the peerless Art of Burning Water and as a standalone flexi. This is an incredibly catchy ear-worm of grooving metallic hardcore in the finest traditions of the masters (Converge, Botch, etc). It serves as a perfect counterpoint to the melancholic bleakness of the COWARDS side with driving riff-led head-smashing joy!

Parisians COWARDS unleash the audible equivalent of a panic attack on their half of this split. Gruesome blackened hardcore trem picking covers the listener in a static veil. Lurching between a blasting opening section and a growling, slurring outro, coated in shimmering reverb and razor sharp gain. 'Pulled Hair' was recorded at the same time as the bands 2016 studio album 'Still', and retains the energy and bleak atmosphere of that release along with the furious production quality. Shrieking vocals penetrate the trademark scathing guitar riffs, underpinned by thundering, churning drums and the crushing tank-tread tone of the bass. There is an echoing sadness with the outro that pulls the listener back down after the rage of the opening, it is like the noise equivalent of hair pulling, the instant of pain and anger, followed by trying to understand the act. Blackened Hardcore at it's most incisive and effective.
