Eye-Gouge! - Feel The Rage (Flexi)

Coffin Cut Records have just released this pissed off piece of plastic from Canberra's Eye-Gouge! 5 tracks of hyper speed aussie hardcore on a clear (almost invisible) flexi 7". This is the first flexi to be added to my collection and though I had heard they have an inferior sound to regular vinyl, this one sounded loud and clear on my turntable. Limited to 300 copies, get it here before they're all gone. Cassette and slipmat also available.

These Immortal Souls - Get Lost (Don't Lie!)

These Immortal Souls were fronted by the late great Rowland S. Howard and this is their first album, released in 1987. I managed to score a US pressing on SST records. His solo records are still his finest work in my opinion but everything he played on is worth a listen and there's some great songs on this record.

Suffer - Lone (Repress)

Midnight Funeral have pressed up 100 of these with screen printed chipboard sleeves and they look pretty sweet. The Lone album is now all on side A at 33RPM and the B side has the Blood Wars tape. These are in my opinion Suffer's 2 best releases and worth the purchase for the Blood Wars tracks on vinyl. I don't think this will be around long so grab one from Midnight Funeral quick smart. If you haven't heard this band before you can download all their releases here. Fans of Crossed Out, Infest etc will not be disappointed.

True Widow - S/T LP

I've already spoke highly of True Window's latest LP a few weeks back. This is what came before it, their 2008 self titled debut. I've been spinning True Widow more than anything else lately, it's really dreamy stoner indie rock, perfect for the tea drinking colder weather we're in at the moment. End Sounds put this out on double 180 gram black vinyl limited to 500 copies. There is still some left which is surprising so go here if you want one.

Iron Lung Mixtape I

Iron Lung Records recently put together this mixtape of bands and friends of the label, 20 bands with 1 unreleased track each. Like any good mixtape this has a really diverse collection of songs on it. The stand outs for me are the tracks from Slices, Solutions, Cold Sweat, Walls and Mind Eraser but if you've been reading this blog for a while that would come as no surprise. This was worth buying for the unreleased Cold Sweat track alone, it's a live recording of them covering Black Flag's "I've Heard It Before". Of course the Iron Lung track rules but at 15 seconds long you could almost miss it if you weren't paying attention.




Iron Lung Records have a stack of new releases coming out that I can't wait to hear. Unfortunately if you haven't already got this one, you missed out. All 500 copies sold out pretty quick. You can of course listen to the whole tape below or download from Terminal Escape.

Disease Process - Self Titled Cassette

Disease Process are a band from Perth, Western Australia mixing elements of Black Metal, Crust and Grindcore to make some truly brutal sounds. This is their debut album out now on Rest In Punk Records. The recording's top quality and the pro dubbed tapes look and sound mint. It may be getting pressed on 12" in the near future but for now grab a tape from restinpunkrecords@gmail.com

Trap Them - Darker Handcraft

Here's the latest Trap Them LP courtesy of Prosthetic Records. The recordings a bit cleaner than their previous efforts but no less intense. These guys mix the sounds of modern hardcore with total 90s Death Metal worship, think Converge crossed with Entombed. There was a ridiculous number of coloured variants for this album, this is an orange one limited to 100. Justin Bartlett is responsible for the grim artwork who also did the cover for the Filth Rations EP.
