Consisting of current and former members of Neurosis, Dystopia, and Operation Ivy, and fronted by Pete the Roadie, renowned road dog and U.K. transplant, Kicker is a band with international pedigree carrying the attitudinal torch of punk rock invented by Crass in the 70s that continued through the 80s hardcore scene on labels such as Dischord and SST.
Over the course of its eleven tracks, which clock in at just 26 minutes, Pure Drivel is pure surly disposition, thick with heavily distorted guitar and lively basswork. Pete the Roadie’s presence as a front man is commanding if not polished, as he barks out lyrics much like a drunk shouting down fellow patrons at a smoky English pub.
CLITERATI "Ugly Truths / Beautiful Lies" £11.00
Right from the start of the album, the band waste no time in tackling a myriad of hot button issues such as trans rights, immigration policy, foreign policy, and the state of domestic politics. Naturally given the nature of the subject matter and the extent of which these issues divide, this is very much an album that will split opinions purely based on the which way the listener leans politically – in a sense mirroring the socio-political climate we find ourselves in today. If you consider yourself liberal, this is for you, and if you don’t, hopefully the album will give you a fresh perspective and challenge your ideals.
TUONO "Ho Scelto La Morte" £9.00
Brand new all stars band featuring members of Horror Vacui, Impulso, Kontatto and the countless side projects these usual suspects are involved in. Inspired by the middle 80'es Italian hardcore punk sound, this five pieces combo seems to have found a time warp zone and recorded this eight tunes together with Bedboys, Stinky Rats, Disper-Azione and Wretched "La Tua Morte Non Aspetta" era. Logo by Nesha Doomsday Graphic and artwork by Carlos "Nailbiter" Casotti. Out in February 2020
MOTRON "Eternal Headache" LP £9.00
First full length after their 2013 skullcrushing demo CD-R. Motron hail from Northern Italy and feature former and/or current members of Kontatto, Pioggia nera, Campus Sterminii and Miseria. The style is a brutal d beat rock'n'roll crust madness in the vein of bands like Inepsy, Lautsturmer and nowadays Malignant Tumour. Eight tracks that will blow your minds away and will make you instantly wish to hole some booze in your hands. Highly recommended not only because they're great friends, but because they truely deserve to be supported as they're FUCKING BRILLIANT!
DEAD HUNT "Dead Hunt" LP £10.00
Have you ever imagined if 5 dudes from well known Portland bands team up together to become the best BURNING SPIRITS band you've ever heard in your life? Well, it happened and they're called DEAD HUNT. This is their debut LP and it'll blow your minds away. 9 amazing tracks influenced by the best Japanese tradition (think of DEATH SIDE, FORWARD, WARHEAD, TETSU ARREY and JUDGMENT) recorded like never happened before. DEAD HUNT fuse crust punk and metal punk (ENGLISH DOGS and BROKEN BONES) with the instrumental ferocity of ’80s speed metal and upbeat self-empowering lyrics. Moreso they love flashy guitar solos. What else can I say? Grab a copy and judge yourself!
AUS ROTTEN "..And Now back to our programming" £11.00
The second studio LP from AUS-ROTTEN, originally released in 1998, is back in print on PROFANE EXISTENCE! Considered by many to be the highlight of AUS-ROTTEN’s discography, “And Now Back To Our Programming” is an absolutely essential anarcho-punk LP, and the rapid fire delivery of righteous political anger AUS-ROTTEN are famous for is just as prevalent on this release as it is on all AUS-ROTTEN records. From the second the needle drops this LP challenges you to be the change you want to see in the world. 7 songs in total including the epic 16-minute title track.
