RAISE CAIN - Bootleg 7'' EP '95

No! This blog is not dead! Yes, it has been while since the last time I posted something here, but I'm still checking things out, not coming over here like before due to the crazy schedule in my life. I wish i can get more spare time, because I really enjoy up/download stuff.
I have many records in mind, but I'll start with something that I promised to post.
As you should know, I've posted the Japanese Raise Cain's "Ground Zero Demo" and "Return To Many Shocks and Panic first 7" EP" . Now you get the second 7" EP released by the great American label Sound Pollution.

V.A. Vägra För Helvete! - LP '83 + CD edition

I first got this Swedish compilation back on the old times of trading tapes. I immediately got hooked with many bands on it, such as Sabotage 81, Adrenalin, Rolands Gosskör, Livin' Sacrifice and D.N.A. delivering great Punk Rock songs and, of course, the amazing Asta Kask throwing two new recordings of the old songs "Landsplikt" and "Demokrati"exclusive for this compilation. But the highest point for me is one of my favorites bands of all time, Anti Cimex first song "Eibon" is just over a minute and is in the same vein of the Really Fast and Raped Ass era. The second song "Heroindöd" is a different and slow version of the one released on the Anarkist Attack 7" EP '81, just great! Check out the lyric translation in the comments.
So, when I finally put my hands on the vinyl, I realized that the last two songs on my tape were missing and I had passed years without listen to Nyx Negativ.
Years later (1994?) Rosa honung Records released a digitalized version of this compilation. I don't know why they've excluded Anti Cimex, Rolands Gosskör and Nyx Negativ out of the CD, but they've included Strebers, Tredje Könet, Extrem Exem, Zynthslakt and Raw Animal which makes worth to have both versions.
Oh yeah, Raw Animal was also on the vinyl version but under the name Hjärndöd, playing a slightly different version of "Jag Är Desperat".

RAISE CAIN - Return To Many Shocks and Panic 7'' EP '89

RAISE CAIN - Ground Zero Demo '86
More Japancore, this time I present you with RAISE CAIN. This is their first 7" EP from 1989 released by the German label Amok Records.
Raise Cain also appears on Hilt to Hilt-Yokohama City Hardcore 7" EP and on the classic compilation Eye of The Thrash Guerilla LP. They have another 7" on Sound Pollution Records called Bootleg (to be posted in the future).
As a bonus I'm including their demo from 1986 which is a fucking great recording, it could easily be released as a 7" EP.

NIGHTMARE + CONCRETE SOX - Split 7'' EP '91

Another MCR release. This time Nightmare from Japan versus Concrete Sox from England.
Nightmare play typical Japanese Osaka thrashcore ala S.O.B. They've been putting great records out since their first amazing 7" EP from 1988 on Selfish Records, until now when they're still touring.
Concrete Sox formed 1984 at the heart of what seemed to be an explosion of hardcore and metal music, Nottingham and also part of Derby. They were one of the earliest hybrid metal/hardcore bands to come out of the UK as well as arguably one of the earliest examples of a hardcore band leaning towards metal music (this is typically referred to as "crossover thrash" nowadays) who had an animal and politically conscious message in their music.
This 7" split EP also coincided with the Concrete Sox Japanese tour in 1992.

01 - Annihilation - NIGHTMARE
02 - Find Your Way - NIGHTMARE
03 - 悲劇 (Tragedy) - NIGHTMARE
04 - Extremely Hardcore - CONCRETE SOX
05 - City Slave - CONCRETE SOX

Toxic Noise + Damnable Excite Zombies! Split 7" EP '93

Kick Out The Real Pain is the name of this 7" split EP released at the end of 1993 by the almighty Japanese label MCR Company.
These two Japanese bands play fast, tight and chaotic Japancore that may leave you listen to them over and over for some time.
D.E.Z. previously got a split flexi 7" EP on MCR Company with the Finnish AMEN and a full 7" EP called Suck Your Soul on the German label Amok Records and distributed in Japan by MCR Company. They also contributed in two compilations: Under The Cloudy Sky 7" EP and Fucking Noise Terror CD. There is a demo from the same set of this 7" EP with 8 songs.
TOXIC NOISE has a weird demo from 1992 called Hell Night, a flexi 7" EP split with SHOKA FRYO (to be posted in the future), a song on the classic V.A. BLLLEEEEAAAUUURRRRGGHHH!- Son of bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh!! 7" EP. Let me know if they have anything else.DOWNLOAD:

REVOLUCION X - 1st 7" EP '94

When I first got this 7" EP I knew it would be an instant classic. It starts with the statement of war declaration from the E.Z.L.N (Zapatist Army of National Liberation) which was just rebelling against the Mexican government in the begin of 1994.
And what you listen next is pure Latin American angry and rough Punk. In your face songs dealing with E.Z.L.N., slave Latin American work in U.S.A, North American border patrol -I'm Making My Future With The Border Patrol is a very sarcastic song-
This is a wonderful effort from 4 French labels ( ANGRR; INEPTIE; TOXIK GRAFITTY and NEW WAVE Records) and how themselves state:
The realization of this 7" single from the Mexican group REVOLUCION X is an act of internationalist solidarity, supported by different French labels acting in a mutual help in response of the ambient sectarianism... It's spread a reality, help a struggle, take our own responsibilities.
I made sure to scan all statements and lyrics (with English and French translation) so you can fully enjoy this historical 7" EP.
