Description:
Last year I purchased the remaining stock from a few distros and record stores that closed down. Now I have too many boxes of 7"s. I am offering this lot of 25 EPs at a reduced price. These bands play doom, sludge and black metal, with a healthy injection of political hardcore and grind.

ACTUARY / MARION BARRY - God Is Back, And He's Hungry 7" (2012 Love Earth Music / Beat The Meat Records / Jerk Off Records JO-0039) Actuary on this release brings the noise and grind. Marion Barry is straight up burritoviolence. Pressing of 300.

ALTARS / HALLA 7" (2010 King Of The Monsters) Pressing of 263. 'A long time friend dropped me a line out of the blue a few weeks back, asking me about the label. I explained to him my recent decision to restart the label after a few years hiatus and he in turn asked if I had heard of his latest project, ALTARS. My eyes immediately widened as the only thing I had been able to obtain by them prior was a one-sided 7" released on Down in The Ground Records entitled "Ewig Verloren". I had no idea that someone I knew was responsible for the cacophonous and violent musical outbursts committed to that release. He went on to explain that they just recorded for a split single with a band from Iran (!!!) called HALLA (Allah spelled backwards) and we immediately forged a plan to release this project onto the world.' - King Of The Monsters website 'Barbaric and piercing black metal / noise from two of the undergrounds best kept secrets. Altars hail from the U.S. and have previous releases on Youth Attack, Down In The Ground and Occult Contemporary. Halla is an anti-christian, anti-islam, anti-religion, anti-human, anti-EVERYTHING black metal project from Iran, a place that could easily get them killed for their views. This is about as lo-fi and raw as it gets.'

ASH TO DUST 7" (2012 Video Disease Records VD 19) Very dark and striking HC from the depths of central California, ASHtoDUST is a band that refuses to adhere to genre limitations. Taking elements of dark punk and HC along the lines of Rudimentary Peni and then pairing it with brooding and complex metallic riffs, the band breathes new life into a stale HC scene by offering something different. The songs on this record even have a bit of an early Neurosis or later Black Flag feel at times because of the dark and depressing riffs. Truly one of the more interesting HC records I have heard in the past few years, it blends it's influences so well it's pretty hard to nail down what exactly the band is going for, but it's very clear that they are doing it very well. Pressing of 125.

BLACK MERINOS 7" (2002 Hyperrealist HR000) Recorded in 1997 and originally slated for release in 1998 on the Passive Fist label, this recording finally sees the light of day. Black Merinos are a side project from many members of In/Humanity. Their sound is heavy, resonating, and full of droning hardcore. This powerfully noise 7" deals with the personal and political issues. A one time only release, this 7" will never be pressed again.

CETASCEAN 7" (2011 Mercy Of Slumber MOS004) Cetascean emerges from the concrete hell of Winnipeg with members of SKELETON, ARCHAGATHUS, and DEADDOGS. Darkened fist pumping d-beat and punishing breakdowns. Hardcore anarchist punk for crust fucks.

CHRONICLE A/D - Enough Rats In The Walls...And The Empires Fall 7" (2004 Hyperrealist HR008) This three piece features members and ex-members of Antischism, Initial State and Karst playing a powerful mix of dark, brooding hardcore and classic peace punk with dual vocals and definite political overtones.

CONDEMNED UNIT 7" (2008 Burnt Bridges Records) Crossover/thrash from Austin TX.

DEFEATIST - In Praise Of False Hope 7" (2007 Chainsaw Safety Records CS026V) This is intense grindcore from ex members of ANODYNE and KALIBAS. Short fast and powerful is the method of their songwriting and it comes across. Nothing gives me a bigger boner than coming across a record that totally flat-out destroys. I was not that familiar with this band, though with a name like Defeatist, I was hoping it was going to rock out a little bit from the get-go, but I didn't have a clue. I think I can honestly say this is the best 7" I've heard in six months. Non-stop jugular attack set to strangle the life out of you. Buzzsaw guitars, plummeting drumming and flesh-searing vokills. Nice and simplistic silk-screened cover and beautiful black vinyl make this package complete. With all of the trouble and delays In Praise of False Hope endured, it was well worth the wait. Defeatist is the band most bands wish they could be

EVOLVED TO OBLITERATION 7" (1996 Clean Plate 11) Classic 1990s CA hardcore / power violence with Max from Spazz on vocals. Colored wax.

EXALTED - Eyes Rolled Back 7" (2009 Deer Healer DHR-008) A gushing, dripping army of disease lurches a few final steps before sprinting towards a village doomed to filth, sickness, and the merciless attention of its attackers. Hapless citizens cast aside their pitchforks and submit to the inevitable— their eyes roll back and bulge in virulent defeat. The Grim Throng has come, has slashed, has hammered, has fed. On this fierce, hissing release from Deer Healer, Exalted scrapes the Earth pure with this ravenous assault on humankind. Black metal from Chicago. Members of MK Ultra, Charles Bronson, Nema, Ottawa, Punch In The Face, and many more.

GUIDE - Bastard 7" (2011 Anti-Corporate Music / Burnt Bridges) Down-tuned breakneck hardcore and thrash from Murfreesboro TN. Crossing styles from 80s hardcore to powerviolence to straight up thrash metal 6 tracks in 9 minutes.

JOHN HOLMES vs. CANVAS 7" (1999 Devil Rock DR01) JOHN HOLMES are a blend of driving, brutal rock hardcore covered with reflections of anger and failed life opportunities in guttural anthemic chants. CANVAS were a noiseHCdeathmetal typhoon from Leeds

MOLOCH / CLOSURE 7" (2012 Feast Of Tentacles OCT27/King Of The Monsters KOTM39) From the UK. MOLOCH play sludge similar to THOU. CLOSURE blast through 4 tracks of powerviolence.

NOOTHGRUSH / CAROL ANN - Split 7" (1999 Catchphraze CPR-13 / Anhedonia) Pressing of 500. Sludge. Cover has some wear on the corners and back.

PLIANT 7" (2012 Cricket Cemetary CC-016 / Parade Of Spectres) Pliant hails from Amherst, Massachusetts and Washington DC. The Pliant 7" is a crusted, nail protruding battering ram of a record. "Can't Keep Up" sets the tone, brutal and unforgiving. "No Substance" immediately kicks the record over the edge, into an abyss of fury. Charging guitar and bass backed by relentless pounding drums and quick blasts. HHIG inspired bludgeoning brilliance. This is one of my favorite hardcore records of 2012. Pressing of 300. Members of: deathrats, state violence, hubris, skvlt, twerps, veld

REDFLESH - Raw War 7" (2012 Video Disease Records VD-13 Debut 7" from these Copenhagen monsters and it is a ripper! The best way I could describe this is to imagine Von covering GISM and recording a demo in a cardboard box. That may not be the right thing for everyone, but I LOVE this kind of stuff. These 3 neanderthals crash and bash their way through 4 songs filled with metallic riffs, sloppy guitar solos, tribal drumming, and the grunts and howls of a man possessed. This is the soundtrack to a war that no one asked to be a part of.

RUNE 7" (2000 Clean Plate Records CP 33) Technical grind band from Ohio.

SON OF MAN - Burn The Witch 7" (2014 King Of The Monsters MOTM 47 Son of Man have returned with four scathing tracks of black-metal inspired hardcore with the “Burn the Witch” 7”. Also mixing elements of thrash, hardcore, and punk, the folks in Son of Man have morbidly constructed an air of dread, despair, abject nihilism and skull-crushing barbarism. Title track “Burn the Witch” seems bent on destruction within the first few seconds, while “Last Cries of the Dead” pounds along at the same maniacal pace. Standout track “Chiroptophobia” gets off to a blistering start, only to slow to a doomed-out dirge half-way through. The EP was recorded by Alex Estrada at The Earth Capital Studios (Nails, Touche Amore, Xibalba) during the winter months of 2012 / 2013. Red wax, pressing of 197.

SORROWER / VIOLENCE OF HUMANITY 7" (2011 End Theory Records ETR0007 / Orca Wolf Records ORCA002) 3 songs of face-melting grind each from Portland's Violence of Humanity and Phoenix's Sorrower.

SOURVEIN / COFFINS 7" (2012 Forcefield Records FFR024) Two unreleased brand new tracks, one from each band. SOURVEIN brings you their signature sludgy swampy Cape Fear doom grooves while Japan's COFFINS destroys your eardrums with a sonic assault of perfectly crafted death and doom.

SUTEKH HEXEN - Shadows 7" (2011 Holy Terror) San Francisco's acclaimed Black metal doom band. 1-sided EP, pressing of 200.

SYNDROME 7" (2009 Desolate Legacy Records DL004) New band from richmond featuring Brandon from DIRECT CONTROL, GOVERNMENT WARNING on drums. This is nothing like his other bands. SYNDROME play dead on swedish style d-beat very much like TOTALITÄR and ANTI-CIMEX. Wild reverbed vocals and tons of raw energy.

TELLUSIAN - Scania 7" (2013 Pillowscars PIS005) After the expiration of technical hardcore band Crowpath, Tellusian now rise to prominence in the Malmö, Sweden metal scene. Though some applauded Crowpath's efforts to integrate their Dillinger Escape Plan-esque sound into Sweden's predominant melodic death metal, Tellusian should find their path less traveled, thanks to their Botch influences. Crowpath mates Erik Hall (drums) and Henrik Ivarsson (vocals) joined forces with guitarist/producer John Nilsson and bassist Robert Fuchs to record Scania, their two-song debut seven-inch. "Eight Years of Rest" sports the varied tempos and chord changes that made Botch's We Are the Romans an absolute classic, with dashes of the Fucking Champs' epicness. "Carnevále" is more brooding in sections, again with colourful progressions and an under-layer of Kiss It Goodbye's restive chaos.

TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION / SKAT INJECTOR - Ubi Nihil Vales, Ibi Nihil Velis 7" (2011 Hirntrust Grind Media 29 / Binjuice Erotica #0 / Legs Akimbo Records 001) Blasting grind. Hand-numbered of 300 copies.

UZALA / MALA SUERTE 7" (2012 King Of The Monsters KOTM-037) Long awaited split between UZALA (Idaho and Oregon) and MALA SUERTE (Texas). Each band offer up one new monstrous track of heavy doom and gloom. UZALA contributes "Burning," which is a five-minute vintage doom cut that really shows how far the band has come in such a short amount of time. Darcy Nutt's singing is intoxicating, and Chad Remains hammers out some great low-end riffs and wah-heavy solos. On the flip side, MALA SUERTE adds their psychedelic twist to vintage doom with their contribution, "The Veil of Secrecy." MALA SUERTE are the veterans of the split, having released their first demo in 2001. Their overall sound is rooted in vintage doom psychedelia, with some sludge injected at the back end of the track.
