"Electro Hippies were a thrashcore band formed in St Helens U.K. in 1985. Though they were very underground throughout their short career, they still influenced many future hardcore, crust, and even grindcore groups. They strongly embraced the D.I.Y. ethic, with a particularly hardline stance on animal rights and vegetarianism. Electro Hippies included Jeff Walker on vocals, when he joined Carcass full time, the rest of the band then shared singing duties. Eventually they split in 1989, playing one last gig and releasing that show as their final album."
Sakata Sextet - "Trauma" 12" 1982
You'd swear on Eddie's corpse that this was a lost Zorn/Patton concoction...
"Akira Sakata is a Japanese free jazz saxophonist. Born in Hiroshima on 21 February 1945, he first heard jazz on short-wave radio and 'Voice Of America', then became more interested in it from listening to film soundtracks. He began studying music seriously in high school, and played in a jazz band when at university. He was with the 'Yamashita Yosuke Trio' from 1972 to 1979 and toured internationally with them. In 1986, he played with Bill Laswell's 'Last Exit'. Laswell went on to play bass for and produce several of Sakata's albums, one of which featured the reclusive Pete Cosey (who had worked with Miles Davis) on guitar. He later worked with DJ Krush and Chikamorachi. His career nearly ended in 2002, when he had a brain haemorrhage. He had to relearn the saxophone and returned to performing after three months."
Buka I Urlik Comp Tape 1983
So esteemed (I just think it's "pretty good") it got an official LP repress decades later.
Yugo/Serbcore from Necrophilia, Herpes Distress, and Solunski Front...
Cadaver/Carnage - "Hallucinating Anxiety/Dark Recollections" Split CD 1990, "Abnormal Deformity" Demo 1989, "The Day Man Lost" Demo 1989
"Cadaver is a Norwegian death metal band formed in 1988. Their first album was also the first Norwegian death metal album. The group has had a rather turbulent history as they have disbanded and reunited on several occasions. They were also briefly known as 'Cadaver Inc.'. Founding member and primary songwriter Anders Odden is the only member that has been in every changing lineup."
"Initially founded as 'Global Carnage' in October 1988, Carnage was one of the first death metal bands in the Swedish scene. In addition to Merciless and Entombed, they were also among the first to secure a record deal. The band's career was short lived, playing live only three times and releasing one full length album, after which they disbanded. After the split members went on to join or form Carcass, Dismember, Entombed, Furbowl, and Arch Enemy."
Insanity - "Ultimate Death" CDR 2004
"Insanity were true cult speed-death (and partially black metal) pioneers. They gained a sizable following in the underground tape trading and fanzine circuit when their debut live demo was released in 1985...however, due to the untimely death of co-founder Joe DeZuniga, the group became unproductive (but never officially broken up) for decades after. This CDR includes the legendary first demo remastered, as well as a 1986 rehearsal and unreleased 8-track-studio demo from 1993."
S.O. War - "Some Sessions" Tape 1992 (320 / Full Scans)
66 trax of all-over-the-place (because they're Polocks) stenchcrust, raw hardcore,
and noise-grind, all with an unbreakably metallic backbone...
Future Blast Islael - "Heavy Petting" Tape 1989 (FLAC)
Watch, a homie, and a drum machine doing fast chaos-punk (much faster than Gai / early Swankys)
amidst more experimental crowd rockers. I suppose in Watch's mind this was his answer to PiL...
...on Heisenberg glass.
Satans Cheerleaders - "Created In Your Image" Demo 1983 (320)
Transient, expeditious, and stentorian thrash when it was still
a hangaround of hardcore and not a mortal rival. "Kinda" mythic...
