Black Elk / Always A Six, Never A Nine (Digi) / CD $13.00 Always A Six, Never A Nine is the second album from Portland, OR aggro wreckers Black Elk, whose psychotic brand of crushing, noise-rock influenced heaviosity is a return to the unhinged underground rock force of bands like Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Black Flag and Hammerhead. Ten songs of seething weirdness, with the dissonant, crushing riffage, lunging rhythmic push and awesome freaked out, Yow-esque vocals of singer Tom Glose. view product details... Black Elk / S/T / CD $12.00 The eponymous debut from Portland, Oregon's Black Elk is a raging, frothing-at-the-mouth eruption of damaged yet majestic destructo rock, seriously heavy and seriously catchy. A creeped out conglom of carnivorous charred hardcore punk, the sludgy power of primo Pacific Northwest tarpit rawk (think Karp, Melvins, and early Soundgarden as reference points), twitchy Midwestern noise rage somewhere between Am Rep circa-1991 and a more rabid Die Kreuzen, and a goatheaded psychedelic backwoods black mass/dance party risen to a fever pitch. Produced by Mike Lastra at Smegma Studios (Earth, Thrones, Jackie-O Motherfucker). view product details... Burmese / Fistula / Split / CD $11.00 Burmese annhilate everything before them with a lethal blast of low frequency skree tantrums, Whitehouse-worshipping noise, and demonic free improvised violence. Think Khanate, Dropdead, Earth, and Merzbow. Ohio 's Fistula follow up with 4 brand new assaults of megaheavy sludge, blistering blackened thrash, diseased rock, and some incredibly contagious riffs. Need more reference points? How about High on Fire meets Disrupt and Grief, but more rock. view product details... Dataclast / The Earwigs / Split / CD $11.00 IDM-grind fusionists Dataclast unleash a tsunami of extreme digital insanity, comparable to Carcass being molested by Kid 606 or Oval, while The Earwigs construct evocative, crystalline electronic abstractions and space-noise. On Crucial Blast Records. view product details... Geisha / Die Verbrechen Der Liebe (Digi) / CD $13.00 This hour-long, six track monolith follows Geisha into a psychedelic black storm, their blown-out and raw rock infused with a bone-rattling recording and covered in a thick sheen of white noise and gritty distortion. Crucial Blast is releasing the CD version of Die Verbrechen Der Liebe in a limited edition of 1,000 copies, packaged in a full-color gatefold jacket. view product details... Geisha / Mondo Dell'Orrore / CD $11.00 Devouring/rebirthing the concept of noise rock into something frighteningly beautiful and brutally heavy, Geisha deliver crushing blasts of impossibly hyperdistorted rock baked in massive frequency overload and massive hooks and melodies and sinister crushing riffs, all of it slathered in filthy throbbing feedback and white noise horror holocaust, like the early 90's alt rock of Isn't Anything-era My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr. mashed together with the most brutal sort of Unsane/Am Rep style racket and distortion-drenched psych/noise into a sludgy metallic mass, jamming with a small army of pedal-smashing harsh electronics troglodytes playing awesomely catchy/crushing pop songs buried beneath a hellish storm of skree and amp-blowing fuzz. Terrifying. Beautiful. view product details... Genghis Tron / Cloak of Love / CD $8.00 A virulent pop mutation that seamlessly binds acrobatic shred and machinegun blast beats to soaring synthpop and electro melodies. Cloak of Love splatters the listener with lethal blasts and breakdowns one minute and enfold them in majestic tech-pop the next. Think Brutal Truth in a back alley brawl with Depeche Mode and Afrikka Bambaata or Naked City hijacking New Order's electro melodies. A bold new mutation of extreme music! view product details... Genghis Tron / Dead Mountain Mouth / CD $13.00 Dead Mountain Mouth is the hotly anticipated full length follow-up to Genghis Tron's bold 2005 debut EP, Cloak of Love. Recorded at Godcity Studios with Kurt Ballou (Converge), Dead Mountain Mouth moves beyond the rapid-fire electro/grind genre splicing of Cloak of Love and forms something new, something more cohesive and fluid, an arcane union of digital dreams and brutal heaviness, where speedcore outbursts blossom from clouds of maximum beat-driven bliss and futuristic metalcore riffage seethes from your speakers. These ten gloriously dense, triumphantly catchy jams soar through vast valleys of immense crush and wonderfully alien vistas of 8-bit wizardry unlike anything you've heard before. view product details... Genghis Tron / Board Up The House Remixes Vol. 5 [NORTH AMERICA ONLY] / Vinyl 12" $16.00 Part five in the five-volume Board Up The House remix series produced in cooperation between Genghis Tron and five different labels (Relapse, Lovepump United, Anticon, Temporary Residence, and now, Crucial Blast). Volume five features remixes by Tim Hecker - turning the title track "Board Up The House" into a fuzz-entombed bliss-scape - and Aidan Baker/Nadja - who delivers a massively glacial version of "I Won't Come Back Alive." view product details... 1 2 3 4
