Visions of Dystopia-Demo tracks

Raw D-beat from Berlin, Germany: I don't know any single shit about Visions of Dystopia and there is not any information on the web, these tracks are available for streaming in their myshit and i don't know if this is their complete demo, probably it isn't, (any help is appreciated) but i post it here because i loved this noise from first listening. They seem to exist since 2010 or so, they shared the stage with Instinct of Survival, Totalickers and others but there is no any official release around.
The four songs deliver bashing D-beat drumming, thrashing distorted guitars and angry shouted vocals. This is raw and noisy D-beat as shitty as can get and the appropriate soundtrack for the spicky haired/studded jacket punk who sleeps on the floor with many empty beer bottles around him, Do i need to say more?

Squalor-Degradation demo 2012

Squalor is a new crust band from southern Finland and Degradation is their first demo recorded a few weeks ago. Unfortunately Urho didn't add some information about them when mailed the demo. Anyway, Degradation brings seven tracks and seven minutes of brutal and noisy crust. The guitar sound is very raw and distorted and along with the brutal growls leads the band close to the grindcore fields. Beat moves fast with some mid paced parts, sound quality is raw. This is noisy, brutal and ear tormenting.

Minority Xpose-West (tape,2010)

Minority Xpose is a quartet from Japan and West is their tape released in 2010 by Vox Populi.. I don't know anything about them, not any info on the web and when it pops up in sites like this still not any information so say some shit if you know anything about them.West brings nine songs and thirteen minutes of raw and furious 80's Scandinavian hardcore: Raging punk/hardcore with raw and primitive sound, thrashing guitar, echoed vocals singing in English and Japanese, fast beat with only a few mid tempo parts, D-beat drumming bashing all the time (one song is titled Discharge) and as i said in the previous post, this seems to come straight out of a studio recording made in the early 80's: Raw, aggressive, furious and noisy old school hardcore.
There is the Okayama City hc compilation with  Death Dust Extractor, Disturd and many others and also a band name Minority Xpose, its probably the same band. Anyway no more ranting, go get it.

Desidia-Demo tracks 2012

This is Desidia from Buenos Ayres, Argentina, we first met them when i  posted their demo back in 2009, here we got  two fresh new tracks recorded in 2012 that deliver their heavy and emotional sludge/doom in the vein of Graves at Sea, Corrupted, Neurosis etc. Both tracks are lengthy (total running time over sixteen minutes), Lϊgubre is slow and heavy as unbearable heartache and has some fast parts here  and there and so does Agorafobia / Tumba De Cemento when the slow doomy part is followed by a fast crust outbreak. Good...good.... Sound quality is excellent, vocals are deep low growls and deliver the despair. Grab it and feel the morbid dead end surrounding you, link is provided by the band (R, Gracias and cheers!)

B.D.M.-Revelation 6:12-17 (2012)

The latest release of B.D.M is a sonic journey to the Four Horsemen chapter of Apocalypse: We have met this guy a while ago so there is no need to say anything about him, Revelation 6:12-17 brings the Black Metal/D-Beat blending along with some atmospheric intros and covers of Sweden's depressive black metallers Shinning (which is my favorite song of release) and Disclose (raw D-beat played the B.D.M. way). Ambient tracks were recorded back in 2007, this time the music is more in to the industrial metal territory than the Black Metal or crust fields.

Disfigure-Demo 2009

Disfigure were a short lived three man D-beat band from Atlanta, United States, they formed in 2009 and included people from bands such as In Ruins, Ralph and Die Ficken. as far as i know they recorded this demo that was never officially released and called it a day in 2010, in 2011 they came back for a couple of shows but never recorded any new songs, if you know anything about them just drop some lines. The demo brings seven tracks including Warmachine by Anti Cimex and approximately 8:30" of  what the cover artwork and the Dis-name reveals: D-beat hardcore / crust with the usual three chord riffs, D-beat drumming and lyrics about the usual  for the genre topics such as war, third world genocide etc. This is rough and brutal, sound quality is decent and delivers the goods, unfortunately the didn't continue and this is their only legacy.
No more ranting, go get some dose of D-beat and enjoy it.

Acid Shark-Bombs Away demo 2012

Acid Shark come from Bristol, UK formed by Lee, ex-editor of Zero Tolerance mag and ex-member of Deathsters Mithras as a solo project back in 2005, the solo project slowly turned into a four piece band and in 2011 they had several appearances in gigs around Bristol area.This first demo was recorded in spring '12.
A detailed history can be found in this page in their site. Bombs Away is a three track demo that lasts nearly seven minutes and delivers old school grindcore blended with crust punk: Guitars riffs are fast, intense and metal influenced, drumming is viciously hyper fast reminding Terrorizer and Napalm Death, vocals are yelled/shouted instead the usual grunts/growls and put the band on the border of crust and grind, a kind of Barney's vocals without the distortion/compression filters. In all and all this sounds like a Napalm Death/ Terrorizer influenced crust band. You can score a copy in cheap low price, watch 'em in  Youtube or click a like in their facebook page and if you have singing skills contact them and get the job since the vocalist left the band. Bombs Away is offered for free by the band
