Tyrranicide – god save the scene

Tyrranicide – god save the scene, USA 1989
Tyrranicide is a fine purveyor of a bit of everything the true zerist loves: crossover and thrash as in Slayer, Bloodcum, late D.R.I., early Excel, you name it… Formidable velocity and punch not without melodic hooks for a great dose of HEADBANGING CROSSOZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Extinction of Mankind



 baptised in shit, UK 1997
ale to England (covers + live set), 2007 reissue
apocalyptic crust (split w/Misery), 2001
the nightmare seconds, 2004
northern scum, 2006
The cream of metallic crustcore is kindly offered by Extinction of Mankind. I hardly heard anything better in the style. The permanent compulsive need of the true zerist for Amebix | Celtic Frost thrash metalpunk finds a great relief with this MASSIVE DOSE OF HEAVY GREASY SLEAZY HEADBANGING ZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CD rip except “Baptised in shit”.
The other splits and 7″ seem available from other blogs, input appreciated!
split with Doom THANKS!

Dead Existence


Dead Existence – swarm of bastards / underhanded, UK 2009
Classic doom death!!! The true zerist is an undisputed early Anathema | MDB | Amebix fan, therefore a Dead Existence fan. This London-based unit delivers high-class metal sludge (and features my brozer Max on bass, mutz) with THE RIGHT UGLY CATCHINESS YOU CRAVE AND LOTS OF GROOVE AND HEAVY DEATH LAYERS OF ZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

N.O.T.A.


 none of the above, 1985
give’em enough dope, 1996
In 1984 I bought the legendary Maximum Rock’N’Roll compilation, which opened me the door on a world of unbelievable bands for which the term “classic” was especially coined – Raw Power, Rattus, Terveet Kâdet… and N.O.T.A., whose “propaganda control” is such a hardcore prototype I had it on all mix tapes to school… Aaaaaaaah, nostalgia. Totally briliant, FAST, LOUD, UNAVOIDABLE HARDCORE PUNK ZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is unrelated, but very funny, I just came accross a “Christian hardcore” website. If you’re bored and need a laugh, go read it. Fuck yeah, there is a forum too, “Where you can have candid discussions about God, music, and upcoming shows”. Ah, the album reviews… sample: “I can tell you that my email conversations with the band have been really positive and that they are all in for Jesus. It shows in their music too.”.
Oh shit, forum intro: “Do I have to be a Christian?
No, if you are here and you are not a Christian, then there is a reason that Jesus brought you here.

Do I have to like Christian Hardcore, Punk, Ska and Oi?
No, you can learn how Christ is using these genres of music to reach new believers

I reserve the right to pull or edit any listing, revoke any posting privileges, or remove you from membership status. Let’s have some good clean fun.”
Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr………….. Yeah it is not nice to poke fun at slow people, but this one looks even better than a metal forum. I think I’m going to sign-up.

Gigandhi

rafflesia, 1996
chavaal, 1998
Another case of WTF-why-did-they-not-become-giants. The class in both albums destroys many many well established acts – Gigandhi do world class slow and dark metal from far away in space like Prong and Tool intermixed with Gobblehoof and a touch of Neurosis (but wayyyyy zerrer than Isis). Absolutely necessary download if into such musical prowess of PROGRESSIVE HEAVY MENTAL METALLIZED ZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
CD rip.
