Springwater - ...Another Trip Inside MCD

Here's a release which was requested in the 'Requests and Reposts' box on the righthandside of this blog. Springwater was a German metalcore band and this MCD was released on Unsubmissive Records in 2000. This would be the last release on this label while using the name Unsubmissive Records, afterwards the label renamed itself Incendiary Records and continued under that name for a while. Before this MCD Springwater did a 3-way split 7" with Linsay and Deamon's Jaded Passion, and they also appeared on the 'Emotional Outburst Assisted By Technical Supply' compilation CD, both of which were also released on Unsubmissive/Incendiary Records. Springwater played metalcore in the vein of other German bands such as Caliban and Jane mixed with some H8000 influences. Members moved on to I Despise. Enjoy.

Xessive Force - Vengeance Is Mine

 

Here's the Excessive Force - Vengeance Is Mine 7" from 1994 when they were using the alternate spelling of 'Xessive Force'.  Three tracks with great production.  I always loved how punchy their recordings sounded.  It was perfect for their mosh laden jams.

Set Adrift - Fifth Season 12" up for pre-order.

The new 12", titled "Fifth Season", from Set Adrift is now available for pre-order over at One Truth Records.  They've been holding down the 90s sound in the Ukraine for a little while now, and I'm sure this record will be a great listen.
