Denied Reality - Leviathan MCD

Denied Reality was a deathmetal/hardcore band from Leipzig, Germany in the late 90s. Here's their 'Leviathan' MCD from 1999. This MCD version was released by the band themselves and distributed thru Cartel Distribution (out of Finland), whereas the 10" vinyl version was released by Voice Of Life Records, a German label, also in 1999. The band was pretty good, combining death metal and hardcore, with harsh screams, definitely not for the faint...

Instill - The Sky Is Falling

Instill existed for a short period in the mid 90s, and hailed from Victoria, BC.  They played what could possibly best be described as spastic screamo, although they had a slightly heavier element than some of the other bands that would also fall into that category.  One or two of these guys also ended up in Hot Hot Heat.

Classic Layouts: 7 Angels 7 Plagues "Until The Day Breathes And The Shadows Flee"

Somehow or another, my old band ended playing a bunch of shows with Wisconsin's 7 Angels 7 Plagues. We just always ended playing the same shows together even though we were from Florida and they were from Wisconsin. We all just had a mutual admiration for each others bands and became good friends. Those dudes could seriously roll some dice...I'm almost positive that their band cash box had no lock because they were constantly digging in there for...
