Bowel - Rotten Fecal Duct

Here's another gem from the DAT archive of releases that were scheduled to come out on Overkill Records. Bowel featured the Melnicks, Tony Pines and Mean Steve.  I would say that it can be best described as the Melnick's tongue-in-cheek take on early 90's death metal/grindcore with some excellent mid-paced stomp parts thrown in as well. After Overkill Records folded, Rotten Fecal Duct was released on Dark Empire Records as an 8 track...

Harkonen - Demo 1996

Looking back, the early days of Harkonen seems like a wild ride.  Although they became well known as a three piece associated with Hydra Head Records, between 1996 and 1999, Harkonen had a multitude of lineup changes that saw various singers and guitar players come and go.  Due to familial relations, this was also the period of time where it wasn't uncommon to hear someone refer to Harkonen as "baby Botch". Recorded in October of 1996...

Fixed A Couple Of Links

Believe it or not, we do read the comments but with the strains of the day to day life, sometimes it takes a little longer than usual to reply. I had a few minutes yesterday so I went back and reupped a few links. I started from the oldest to newest and over the next few days I plan to try and get the rest that have been requested fixed. Someone requested a re-up of the Headfirst material but Indecision Records has released their discography so we won't be posting that one again. You can order the TRIPLE LP from Indecision Records by clicking...

Canon - The Solution [unreleased version]

A lot went on prior to the release of Canon's one and only 7", The Solution.  Originally, they were going to record it to be released on Guav's Conviction Records.  When that fell through, they landed at Overkill Records.  They recorded the full 7" for Overkill in May of 1994, and a master DAT (seen below) was sent to the label.  [check out this interview from when the record was slated to come out on Overkill] However,...

Last month, our friend Eric Rinebold mentioned interviewing Mike D'Aquilante , one of the brains behind the incredible "Stones To Mark A Fire" compilation. He completed it over a month ago and sent it over (I've just been busy) so here it is in all it's glory.

Diddly Squat - No Questions [demo 1987] (with Nate Mendel)

Diddly Squat were a mid 80s hardcore band from Tri Cities, WA.  Over their brief tenure, they released two demos and a 7".  They could draw comparisons to the likes of Crucifucks, Subhumans (Canada), The Freeze and other contemporaries of their day, but there's also a major crossover vibe happening with the guitar work. Diddly Squat most famously featured a young Nate Mendel prior to joining the likes of Brotherhood, Galleons Lap,...

Here's what the band had to say about it on their site: Today is the day.  It’s time to drop our new video for “Dark Days”.  We had always wanted to shoot a video for this song as it was the first we ever wrote & also the title track from our debut EP that was released earlier this year.  We had a ton of fun filming it with Tyler from Press & Release Media and we think he did an amazing...

Lincoln - Unreleased LP

Lincoln popped up out of West Virginia, and definitely had the mid 90s post-hardcore/emo sound nailed down.  After releasing 7"s through Watermark and Art Monk Construction, along with a split 7" with Hoover, they faded away.  Before their demise, an LP was recorded in what was probably 1995.  I'm unsure of who was supposed to release it, but it obviously never saw the light of day.  Lincoln - Unreleased LP http://w...

Forced Down - Mortal [discography]

Forced Down are easily one one of my favorite bands from the San Diego area.  They played great late 80s/early 90s hardcore that is unmistakeable as having a West Coast vibe to it, and the layout of their records always had plenty of time and thought put into them. This cd contains all of Forced Down's recorded output, including demos. Forced Down - Mortal [Downside/Vinyl Communications - 1992] http://www.mediafire.com/?ikihalx...
