GAME "No One Wins" LP

GAME "No One Wins" LP

At long last, the follow up to 2017’s "Who Will Play?" flexi has materialised in the form of "No One Wins" on the LP format. With influences and membership that span the world of hardcore punk, both stylistically and geographically, this platter sports 10 tracks of pummelling hardcore punk that incorporates metallic elements drawn from the near and far reaches of mid 80s international hardcore and thrash to the simplicity of domestic HC pestilence. Blended with a great finesse that is both tasteful and potent  - which seems to be a rare feat to attain this day and age - and buttressed by a top notch mastering job by the great Arthur Rizk (SHIT "What Do You Stand For," Impalers "Cellar Dweller”, Power Trip ‘Nightmare Logic’) which only feeds the fire that is the base of these already enormous tracks. GAME is the conduit. Relatively new but sending sickening sounds into the New Wave of British Hardcore collective, decimating any and all willing to be...

PAWNS "Monuments of Faith" new on Inflammable Material Records

PAWNS "Monuments of Faith"

Following up their well-received “Gallows” LP, New York City’s Anarcho-Deathrock hybrid return with three new tracks. Against the landscape drawn up by 80’s-influenced post-punk, Pawns exchange full-on punk rage for a gloomy animosity by exploring dark and desperate melodies. Bass-heavy rhythms and choral guitar tones are topped off by vocalist Gage Allison’s ominous baritone vocals in a rich maelstrom of bleak gothic punk. Title track “Monuments Of Faith” and “Shadows Of Hiroshima” are fast and melodic, whilst “Broken” is a soaring, anthemic, Bauhaus-style stormer - £5.00 plus post

Thick 300gsm card sleeve with spine and lyric insert
USA: One-sided 12” version available on Near Dark Records
Inflammable Material Records, BURN031

H.I.C. SYSTEEMI – Total blackout LP in soon Restocks

H.I.C. SYSTEEMI – Total blackout  LP

H.I.C. SYSTEEMI from a village in Northern Finland didn't receive the recognition that they deserved at the time of their existence! Their LP issued in 1986 came out too late and on the wrong label!
This discography LP contains the 12 tracks from their LP from 80ies plus 8 great bonus-tracks, most of them never released on vinyl before!
All tracks recorded between 1981 and 1985 at Soundmix /Oulu! Comes with a poster-insert with all Finnish lyrics, great historical photos, band-story etc.! Completely new artwork compared to their LP from 80ies! This is first league Finnish HC like KAAOS, RIISTETYT, APPENDIX, BASTARDS etc.! Highly recommended!
