T.S.O.L. - Dance With Me


this album rules...an old school punk rock classic...this is T.S.O.L. at their very best...a must have for any respectable punk http://www.mediafire.com/?xqt67tl582bcagl

Dropdead - The Eventual Result (Drop On The Bootleg)

i was fortunate enough to catch Dropdead live in Baltimore, MD about a week ago, this was my third time seeing them play live and i gotta say, they never disappoint...the crowd was virtually dead until Dropdead took the stage and then absolute total chaos erupted on the dance floor and i immediately remembered why i still love going to shows and what got me into the scene in the first place...this band is the perfect reflection of everything thats right with hardcore punk...the music blasts, really fast, tight short songs, but the most important thing i think is the message...Dropdead has some really great lyrics and inspire me to do my part to make a change in the world for the better.....this cd here is a mini disc that was recorded live in Japan in 1996 and was released by Profane Existence...it captures one the most influential hardcore bands blazing through 16 songs of intelligent, pissed off punk; played with the pure rage and intensity that its undeniable that this band practices what they preach and they stand behind their message...its up to you and i to make a difference, its up to you and i to make a change, its up to you and i to....LIBERATE!!!

Space Zombie Bingo

Troma movies rule....i can't get enough of em....here's the description of the film... "The Troma Team proudly presents a sci-fi movie so unusual that it is destined to become a science-fiction classic (or at least - unforgettably goofy), SPACE ZOMBIE BINGO! The earth is in grave danger when a gang of flesh-eating zombies from outer space take on menacing military macho men. The future of the world rests solely on the shoulders of the Zombie Defense Corps and their incredulous leader, Major Kent Bendover. Will Major Bendover and his moronic kitchen utensil-bearing troops have what it takes to battle these horrifying space invaders, or will the entire universe crumble to become a SPACE ZOMBIE BINGO!?!? Hearken back to the seriously silly space invader threats of the past. Witness bizarre, steamy zombie-earthling love interaction of the future. Enjoy a close encounter of the inexpensive kind. Experience Troma's campy free-for-all, SPACE ZOMBIE BINGO." so let me just say, this movie could win the award for most misleading DVD cover of all time...while i think this movie is awesome, hilariously stupid and fun to watch, there are no scantily clad women running around with laser rifles...i mean none...there is a girl named Barbie Que in the movie....but if you just saw the cover and were expecting a B-movie boob fest, you'll be disappointed..... with that being said, this movie doesn't need naked ladies to work...the cheap special effects, absurd costumes, comical narration, and candid acting are more than enough to make this film a pretty entertaining watch...so if you're in the mood for a campy low budget good time, check this flick out!

The H.P. Lovecraft Christmas Book


okay, i know im a little late on this one...like a month or so, give or take a few days...but rather than wait all the way til next year, i figured i'd break out some post holiday cheer with a rare and obscure book containing Christmas greetings and poems written by none other than the master of the macabre and creator of Cthulhu himself, H.P. Lovecraft! this book was originally pressed in 1984 by Necronomicon Press, i have the second printing from 1996...i gotta say, this is definitely not some of Lovecraft's best material, haha, not at all...but it is interesting to get a glimpse into this side of the writers life http://www.mediafire.com/?jw1aybaax64rlll Merry Christmas to all, and to all, the stars are right!

Lovecraftian Art

so heres a small sampling of some really cool Lovecraft inspired artwork by Mike Garcia...this collection of work was originally published in August of 1975, and was limited to 995 copies...but i was lucky enough to come across this amazing portfolio in my never ending quest for Cthulhu collectibles and Lovecraftian lore...i don't know much about the artist, other than his name is Mike Garcia and hes from Lemon Grove, California....this file contains all of the art from the book except for a piece entitled "At The Mountains Of Madness"...i had trouble scanning that one because it took up two pages and i couldn't paste the images together in a way that would do it any justice, so i decided to leave that one out...but you will find seven interesting artistic interpretations of some of Lovecraft's most well known stories

Seasick - 2 Years Of Hub City Hardcore

the band is called SEASICK and this album is just plain sick!! from the cover art to the lyrics to the hardcore aggressive punk rock furious sound they deliver, and we can't forget the fact that this record is limited to 500 copies (420 on black wax and 80 on blue...i got the black) so, this is a vinyl rip and i think it turned out pretty well for the most part...if you notice any pops, crackles, or minor sound glitches, you have my permission to quietly curse under your breath and find a way to deal with it...cause hey, its just punk rock man....

Blotted Science - The Machinations Of Dementia


i fuckin love this album! it came out in 2007 and i remember hearing that it featured Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse on bass and Derek Roddy from Nile on drums, so immediately i knew i had to get it...and of course it blew me away, and i listened to it over and over again for a time...but somehow it got lost in the countless other albums and bands i've checked out in the past few years...then something jogged my memory recently and i uncovered this masterpiece of an album, and im glad i did...this is probably the best instrumental progressive metal album ever...consisting of 16 tracks of mind warping metal that never gets boring or repetitive, this record is an instant classic

Cause For Effect - Progressive And Minimalist Recording (2010)

okay time to switch things up with a very unique and underrated band, Cause For Effect...these guys are a 2 piece, drum and bass grindcore powerhouse...the basslines are jazzy, spastic, catchy, and complex while the drumming is tight and full of tempo changes and solid fills...the vocals are another cool thing about this band...the combination of a heavy growl over top of fast drumming and intricate basslines makes for an awesome, non typical, grindcore listening experience...i realize this record might not be for everybody, but for the true grindcore fanatic, its something different worth checking out

Flatulated - Tales Of The Gruesome And Horrifying (2010)


this is some crazyass goregrind from Texas...why is it crazy you ask? listen to tracks 4 and 8 and you'll know exactly what i mean...this is not your typical gore band, sure they blast from time to time, theres plenty of groove, the vocals are heavy and everything else you would come to expect from a band with such a name and album title, but then....well, i don't wanna spoil anything for the potential listeners so i'll just say this...if you're looking for an entertaining, very tongue in cheek and fun album, than this is for you...i myself dig the contrast of styles they incorporate in their songs and i particularly like the track "The Horror From Uranus" because they clearly mention Cthulhu...maybe im easy to please, but i think this is a record thats worth a listen or two http://www.mediafire.com/?d1406bk3dx393wh

The Dark Prison Massacre - Secret Of Black Silk Stockkings (2010)

i think there might be a goregrind resurrection afoot...and this band is definitely contributing to the uprising of the brutal musical madness that is goregrind!! i had never heard this band before and i honestly don't know much about them, but i do know that this is one sick album from start to finish and the artwork is supersick and the cover version of "Ovulation Overlord" by Plasma is sick as hell...so basically to sum up this release in a word, it'd have to be SICK!!! if you thought brutal slam and goregrind was dead, you won't after hearing this album...my favorite track has got to be "My Cock Is The Truth"...cause it is

Cannibal Accident - Brutalent (2011)

okay, so its been awhile since my last post...a lot of shit has gone down, too many numerous things to mention, suffice to say im back (at least for the time being) and ready to grind!! theres been a lot of good releases in the past few months and today i came across one more...the brand new album from Cannibal Accident!! now this is what im talking about! if you're unfamiliar with these guys, they play heavy, grooveladen, grindcore with goresoaked lyrics and sick as fuck vocals...this album is 10 tracks of brutality by some talented grinders, hence the title "Brutalent"...this is a must for any goregrind fan, check this shit out now!...and the cover art is bad as hell too (always a plus)
