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.

Cold Sweat - Blinded

This has been a major want of mine for a while now so I'm very happy to have got my hands on an original. As far as I know Cold Sweat only released 2 LPs, with this one being their second from 2004. If there's anything else out there someone let me know. They played really angry chaotic hardcore like nothing else around at the time and still shit on most hardcore bands around today. The members from this line up went on to form Walls which is basically the same band with a different singer. Shaun the singer is currently doing vocals for Mens Interest.

Package from Painkiller

Got an order from Painkiller Records in the mail last week. I was mainly ordering the Innumerable Forms 7" but picked up a bunch of other stuff too so the postage wasn't so harsh.

Innumerable Forms - Dark Worship Ep 7"
Innumerable Forms is a solo death metal project from Justin of Mind Eraser. Really stocked on this record, much better than I was expecting. Mammoth Grinder are going to be the backing band when he plays live. Wish I could see that. I wasn't quick enough to get the green vinyl but this black one will do.

Dry Rot - Subordinate 7"
Really nice 16 page booklet comes with this record. Good to see some effort go into a 7" release for a change. Released on Painkiller Records black second press of 420.

Dry Rot - Hairless 7"

Released on Home Invasion Records, 500 pressed. 2 songs off Philistine and an unreleased b-side.

Breathing Fire - Years Of Lead 12"

Released on Painkiller Records, black of 812. Breathing Fire sound like a mix of doom/sludge/power violence. 

Cold Sweat - Severed Ties 12"

Classic first album from Cold Sweat. This is the Rock & Roleplay Records press.
