It's a V.D. Day: Valentine's mix for anyone who basically has something wrong with them

hey here's 14 songs about love for people that get told on an almost routine basis that they don't know fuck-spit about love.

It's a VD Day mix:

1. ROB - Boum (i warned you not to go out tonight...)
2. BRAINBOMBS - Lipstick on my Dick ("Hey baby, you look a little pale")
3. HAVE A NICE LIFE - I Don't Love (I don't want to make this face anymore)
4. PRURIENT - Precious Love (What chains have tied my hands and feet)
5. PAUL SIMON - Allergies (My head intercedes with my bodily needs)
6. THE COMMUNION - Postcards from Solitary (Strings will keep being threaded until the rope is thick enough to pull off my head)
7. THE PRETTY THINGS - Loneliest Person (the day it seems too dark for me)
8. JAWBREAKER - I Love You So Much it's Killing Us Both (I don't think I hate you enough to commit you to me)
9. LEVIATHAN - Harlot Rises ("...lyrics are important and also very hard for me... at times, the way things come out in words sounds like nonsense. I don't consider myself a poet by any means.")
10. NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - I Want to Commit a Crime of Passion
11. SELF DEFENSE FAMILY - Tithe Pig (distrust crowds and don't leave the house)
12. BLACK HEART PROCESSION - Guess I'll Forget You (we all know there's no way out)
13. KICKBACK - Sideshow (Deepthroated emotions Your tears incite)
14. JASON SCHWARTZMAN - Little Locked Room (bittersweet cacophony)

Youth in Peril: a very special episode of Cut-Out Bin Conscious

DEATH KIDS were a local legend of the late 90s east coast death metal boom. a Glen Benton look-a-like had his own pre-teen children act as the avatars of his extreme music aspirations. Recently I came across the band’s second offering, Bleeding and Praying, and just couldn’t pass it up. The benchmarks of this particular wave of underground metal are all present: crude artwork, lyrics leaning heavily on themes of anti-Christianity and lustmord, “slam” riffs, duel guttural/screeching trade-off vocals… but there is an increased appreciation / unease as you realize that 2 out of the 3 involved in the compositions aren’t even in high school (also making the ritualistic snuff film still artwork on the back cover almost putrid in its wrongness).

You be the judge I guess;

Top BANDCAMPS of 2013.

the only thing more lame than another year-end list is a year end list that starts with "I know I know another year end list" or some variation of that sentiment. you're not clever. you're not funny. no one is buying your insouciance. just share the things you enjoyed without fear of being made fun of by some trollish rabble.

anyway, i did the physical media version of a top 10 list earlier in the month, but i realized a good chunk of stuff i really loved this year i had heard on Bandcamp. out of my own sick need to keep track of shit, i figured i'd attempt to remember some of them. here goes.....

COWARDS - Hoarder

depraved filthcore from the bowels of France.



BEAST AS GOD - s/t

sinister metallic hardcore in the dirty beastly vein of Unruh. never not good.


FACIAL ABUSE - Slightly Uncomfortable 

like the last ten years of Napalm Death taken to deeper extremes.

UBASUTE - Tyranny Garden

supremely caustic and stridently wrenching in the way screamo was before it became "Screamo(tm)".

PURGE. - An Exercise in the Fundamentals of Unorthodoxy

i really can't say enough about this release. it just so much adheres to everything i'd want out of a grind record; heavy, memorable, misanthropic, weird artwork, cool lyrics... Purge. has it all.

SUCKED DRY - Dog Children

deranged metallic hardcore in the anti-tradition of Rorschach and other warped outsiders.

FORCED OPINION - Life in Fear

no-nonsense brutality as only Cleveland can deliver.

CUSTODIAN - Time Folds Upon Itself

one of power electronics' true composers.

AUDITOR - Form Destroyer

deconstructing deconstruction.

INTESTINAL DISGORGE - The Shadows That Stride from World to World

how to describe this? Putrid Pile meets Venetian Snares? guess that'll do.

Exeunt Albumnes 2013

1.


multiplying layers of crackling density and murderous poetry from the PE touchstone. 

2.
 

swiftly cryptic speedgrind from your new favorite band. 

3.
 

raw chunks of subterranean rage that bridges modern black-punk with classic Japanese hardcore. 

4.
 

suicidal sludge that rules everything around you. 

5.


crust punk awareness filtered through death rock bleakness as presented by dark grindcore. 

6.

waking up naked in the eye of Armageddon smolder.

7. 



dark hardcore that not only feels truly dark, but also truly hardcore, with more than liberal dollops of fast black metal and crunchy noise.


8.


casually perverse languid noise rock that peers into the blackest of thought and kinda parties about it. 

9. 

the sounds and visions produced when home invaders break into a house at the peek of an acid party.

10.


persistent seduction through meticulously composed dirge.
