Straight Edge As FUCK Part 1 & 2 - V/A..
This is one compilation u must get. Featuring 15 bands and 18 songs, this CD gives u a clear
of the Umea*Swedish* hardcore scene. Bands such as SHIELD, ABHINANDA, REFUSED, DOUGHNUTS, FINAL EXIT, SOLITUDE will
kick u up the ass. This CD kicks off with a song by SHIELD *Kaleidoscope*, melodic-hardhitting, cool acoustic and great vocals,
this band is surely something to lookout for. This CD is distributed by DFR so go and order it. I ordered mine but got stuck
at the censorship board, got it back though. FUCK the LAW...
Stones to Mark A Fire - A Benefit compilation..
First of all, this is a benefit compilation and a tribute to ROD CORONADO, members of the ALF.
Inside are 19 anthems of discontent, rage and militancy. From Hardcore, Metal, Punk, Hip-Hop and Reggae.
This is the voice of a revolution. Its heart and its soul. This is music for war, sound which both inspire
the righteous and terrify the wicked. Songs from bands like EARTH CRISIS, ABNEGATION, CULTURE, TENSION and lots more
shows the passion and power of this movement. It includes a letter written by ROD CORONADO. So go get IT. Distributed by
Militant Records and Vegan Earth Order. The proceeds from this compilation will benifit Rod Caronado's defense fund,
community work on the YAQUI RESERVATION, and various Animal Liberation, Environmantalist selected by ROD himself.
Fraction Zero - Liberation..
If u are an NY lover, this is one cd u must get. Sounds a little like SOIA but are much, much
better in terms of guitar works and plenty of guitar solos. Powerful vocals makes it all the more merrier.
A total of 17 songs, the band touches on animal liberation, man against man, corruption and more.
Need I say more ? Distributed under IJT Records, NY.
Refuse - Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent..
Compared to the older Refuse albums, this one's a much more groovy hardcore alongside
ryhtemic vocals. These masters of revolutions have proven themselves to be among the best in the
Umea Scene. Their songs will leave u skanking and diving all over. Manic paced, metal-edged hardcore with
excellent social political overtones. REVOLUTION MUSIC.
Strain - Here And Now..
This is a really awesome release from the Vancouver band. If it's powerful, heavy hardcore you
want then you've come to the right place. Some songs are new school-like and others are faster and
more old school. The first song entitled "Here and Now" is my favourite. They were released under New Age Records.
Too bad they're splitting, what a waste. But watch out for their upcoming release. It sure as hell will be good.
Turmoil - From Bleeding Hands..
The band combines the metallic HC of EARTH CRISIS, a little bit of the crazyness of
OVERCAST, crazy pissed off vocals and a healthy dose of their own style. This CD is
their 1st full-length after some EP's and really shows the class that they have... Solid
release. Worth getting. Available at HMV at a VERY EXPENSIVE PRICE. *if u get what i mean*.
Century Media Release.
