Swankys - "Never Can Eat Swank Dinner" LP 1987 (CD Version '89) & "Swank! & Lives" 2xCD (2014?)
The ¥5980 garage days re-reevaluated! "Swank! & Lives" is an official re-release of demo and live tracks that foreshadowed the blunt pop-shock of the band's 2nd LP, "Never Can Eat Swank Dinner" (it's a great KBD sorta duster that Disrockers can't hang with because their shoelace-headbands strangle their brains). All jangle, no fuzz, but still loud enough to "Wake up Nawn-saaayyyyyy!!!"
Pravda - Demo '85
T-H-U-M-P-I-N' ammonia-soaked punk from the womb of pessimism itself, Suomi. Pravda's existence was typically short lived, playing very few gigs and only recording these five songs* before splitting up to form "Demonstraatio".Kiitos Janneä Facebook-tietämyksestä!!!
*(Re-released in '86 on B.C.T.'s "Kaaos Zine Presents" tape)

Pro-Teens - Demo '81
"Here's some rare & excellent punk rock from Philadelphia, courtesy of the PRO-TEENS. As far as I know, this was their only studio recording and apparently it didn't even get properly released. The band was heavily influenced by UK 76-77 bands such as The Damned, Slaughter & The Dogs, Eddie & The Hot Rods, as well as the early west coast bands like the Nuns, Avengers, etc. So although recorded in 1981, there's no HARDCORE here at all but solid, catchy & tight punk from the first wave. 4 tracks in 11 minutes, restored & mastered by Mahler Haze, July 2019" http://www.mediafire.com/file/5g5nle4xb5flz95/Pro-Teens_-_Demo_1981.zip/file
Gil - Discography 1987-2004
Orthodox (h-e-a-v-i-l-y metallic) Japcore that everyone ignores because...they're not Gai? Highest of fives to Lalo for being the only other human I've ever known to be down with this lot...http://www.mediafire.com/file/r05wk2tevvaocip/Gil_-_Ography.zip/file
Rob Miller Isn't A "Nazi" You Fucking Retards...
...BUUUTTT:
May The Baron live 1,000 years! OOPS! I MEAN, UHHHHHH...
"You kids are in a prison, one that you created and you maintain. One that
you build onto year by year and yet never see. It maintains itself
through the characters you represent, both the guards and the
snitches, monitoring and judging every detail of your fellow
inmates, telling tales and spreading gossip. I cannot be a part of that.
No walls, no guard, no wire no yard, we are the perfect prisoner.
You have created a hierarchy of victimhood, desperately scrambling for status on a ladder of the imaginary oppressed, nice kids from nice homes still trying to fight against evil mummy and daddy, the people who gave you everything, and who you turned your backs on. You live vicariously through a compromised media, themselves terrified of uttering an inappropriate phrase or idea, furiously signalling their own virtues through self censorship and speech regulation. Your movies sell you the same stories, with an increasingly complex mixing of archetypes, until there are no real stories of any value left, and still you consume.
The worst thing is that you see yourselves as rebels of some kind, anti system warriors against the vague “Patriarchy”. You ARE the system, you are the useful idiots that keep the cogs turning, you are the prison guards, glued to your screens on the worldwide panopticon. You are the beast I despise, and the whole reason I have spent my life seeking answers, immersing myself in the forbidden, the occult, the taboo, the places where there are still clues to how we got here, and how we can get back out.
You people set the dogs on me, you threw me under that bus without a moments hesitation, and that shows your true nature, the imaginary friends of the Internet, the curtain twitchers and tittle tattlers, the town hall gossips and international knitting circle. You are not people I would want on my side in any kind of struggle.
To the very few men and women who have reached out on their own initiative, I salute you, we are brothers and sisters, a crazy family who may disagree fundamentally with what one another has to say, or the opinions we hold, but we will fiercely defend their right to do so. And that is the difference between the prisoner and the free man, the winnowing and separation of the wheat from the chaff, some of you passed the test and many did not.
I have made a decision about Tau Cross. It is a band that I created and nurtured on my own for one and a half years in the bitter disappointments of the Amebix break up, I wrote all the original material and retain the band as my own intellectual property, to do with as I wish.
I am releasing Michel Langevin from Tau Cross, he should not be associated with this band in any manner in future, apart from the material that he has contributed, which has always been remarkable, and I have thought of him as a dear friend. However, the association with this stigma is something people must choose or lose.
Andy Lefton is released with immediate effect, he has managed to embody the twin roles of victim and Judas on far more occasions now than were strictly necessary, and we share nothing in common anymore, philosophically or ethically.
The remaining members will probably leave of their own accord and are encouraged to do so should they feel pressured, but there is a welcome place here for anyone brave enough to stay. I will continue this band, even if it becomes a sad one man and a dog cassette making venture, it has never been about fame or money, it is about the journey for truth, the places that takes us and the need to remain true to ourselves. I feel this episode has demonstrated something of primary importance, and these words from the song are both prophetic and illuminating:"
'So you seek the truth, embrace her while you may, walk into the fire,
you and I shall never die, we become the flame, burn with me.'

Scepter - "Up Thy Ass" Demo 1 (1994)
"ARE YOU MORBID?! Are you a big fan of the Morbid Tales & Emperor's Return era of Celtic Frost? Then this demo is just for you! Scepter (from Chicago) were definitely listening to old Frost when they decided to put their band together, it even has deathgrunts! 4 tracks of Frostian heaviness & some killer galloping riffs/rhythms too. Lyrics are mainly about being a real metalhead, poseurslaughter & girls on horseback (can't go wrong there!). 4 tracks, 13 minutes, restored & remastered by..." --Mahlerhttp://www.mediafire.com/file/xzx4v271c144tpi/Scepter_-_Demo_1_1994.zip/file
Mick Harris - "Head Stew" 2017 Secret Thirteen Mix
"Mick Harris proclaims the glorious kingdom of sound in this dreamlike, exceptional 35-track collection of musique concrète, noise and other abstract forms. Mick Harris serves as both jack and master of all trades. From the time when his drums defied speed limits on Napalm Death over 30 years ago, Mick Harris has released truly unique records in a number of styles - ominous soundscape ambient with Lull, rough Detroitish techno with Monrella, savage jungle/dnb with Quoit, and many rather more experimental sonic endeavors besides. One of the passions of his musical career has been casting a thousand evil curses on dub, resulting in some of the most singular music released in the ‘90s and ‘00s - most importantly Scorn, but also The Weakener and his Equations of Eternity collab with Eraldo Bernocchi and Bill Laswell. While there is the urge to continue pointing out things like the entertaining carnage of Defecation’s Purity Dilution or the inventive celebration of acid that was Hygiene, today it seems more fitting to talk about another old-new Mick Harris project - Fret. The first release under this alias, an eponymous 3-track 12”, was released on Regis’ Downwards label way back in 1995. That’s a while ago now, but its hypnotic industrialized rhythms are just as relevant and fresh-sounding today. On October 13, 2017, a new Fret 2xLP, aptly titled Over Depth, is coming out on Karlrecords. The massive basslines and ornate noise tapestry background take this industrial-techno-by-way-of-dubstep banger a lot closer to Scorn than the first one ventured. Over Depth will doubtless be praised as much for its violent dancefloor appeal as for its creativity and intense attention to detail.
Secret Thirteen Mix 233, titled Head Stew, is a welcome curveball. Neil Gaiman has a short story in his Sandman series where someone accidentally walks an alleyway into the dream of the city he lives in. This, then, is the dream of a concert venue where disembodied melodies, rhythms and compositional fragments manifest and merge, forming outlandish assemblages that ebb and flow, are restructured or turned on their head. We are always aware listening to Mick Harris’ works that he is a fan not of types of music, but of the fanciful machinations of Sound. This mix compiles the works of other musicians who have been guided by that ethos: the experimental fringe of the industrial scene as represented by Nocturnal Emissions, Nurse With Wound, Zoviet France; musique concrète visionaries, which are too many to name; and others pointlessly associated with IDM, hip-hop, dub or something else. The mix seems to be framed by the shadow of Harris’ former musical self - the feral hardcore punk/grindcore of Siege and Confuse. It’s always there, but does not dominate in the least. If a visual were to be included with this mix, Wu Guanzhong’s Lion Woods might be a good choice. The fantastic smooth shapes in this masterpiece place it on the tip of consciousness, much like Mick Harris’ recording. This is the real deal as expected, exquisite in selection and execution - mandatory!" -- Secret Thirteen
