Rage Against The Machine - Seattle, WA 4/12/93

It's pretty rare to come across an uncirculated video that is of good quality, but last night at the Bolt Thrower show in Seattle, Ron Guardipee gave me his 8mm master tape of Rage Against The Machine playing in Seattle on 4/12/93, and he had a great vantage point for filming.  If you dig RATM, I'm sure you'll love this. ...

Acme - Various Compilation Tracks

  Acme was a relatively short-lived metalcore band from Bremen, Germany, who formed in 1991 and disbanded in 1994 (or was it '95?). Information regarding the band is almost as hard to come by as their music, leaving a sense of mystery and obscurity to future listeners. Acme crafted "the Bremen sound" and were highly influential for not only bands of that scene, but metalcore bands in general. They had a very thin discography, but in 1996,...

Zao - First Shirt and Early Demo/EP Downloads

Zao is a band known not only for their ideology, but their many line-up changes. In this post, I'd like to focus on the first "era" of the band. Founding members include Eric Reeder (vocals), Roy Goudy (guitar), Mic Cox (bass), and Jesse Smith (drums). Since their beginning in 1993, the band caught a lot of flak for their outspoken and straightforward attitudes regarding their faith, but that didn't hold them back from achieving what they wished...

Underground Society (France)

 Underground Society was one of the many great bands from the infamous KDS Crew. KDS Crew was a group of friends and bands from Rennes, France and included bands such as Stormcore, A Way Of Life (A.W.O.L.) and Right 4 Life. Underground Society played a great mix of (thrashy) metallic hardcore with a darker edge, which will appeal to people who like other French bands such as Kickback, Stormcore and A Way Of Life. Underground Society started...

Backside Disaster - The Coming Of Iad Urorobos [demo 1997]

Backside Disaster's second demo recording from November of 1997.  Forgive is the only track that was re-recorded from the first, unreleased demo a few months prior.  The new songs contained on this demo were much heavier and guitar harmonies were becoming much more prevalent.   I'm not sure how many cassettes were made in total, but only the first 25 or 30 came with the handmade lyric booklet, which I fully scanned and included...
