INHUMAN - NY HARDCORE


I bought a new direct drive turntable 2 weeks ago (my old belt drive was fucked) and picked up a used stereo receiver off a local guy (my old pioneer has a blown right channel) so now I will be able to rip some 7"s and not have them sound like total garbage and missing the right audio channel!

This post is going to be short and sweet mainly because its about 1am and I've got to be up in a few hours. INHUMAN is a hardcore band from brooklyn New York.

This 7 inch was put out on back ta basics back in 1997. If you like NY/NJ hardcore this is right up your alley. My record didn't come with lyrics, so you'll just have to decipher these on your own

INHUMAN is still a band and is still playing shows around the NYC area check them out when you get a chance



PS: to the guy who requested DA REAL DEAL... I have all of their recordings already on a hard drive somewhere... when I find them I will upload them for you!

CLUBBER LANG - NEW JERSEY



I had found out about clubber lang through a comilation put out by ENDLESS FIGHT RECORDS entitled Heavyweights. The comp had various bands who were upincoming at the time such as Unearth, Undying, Cipher, Diecast, Nora, & Unsound. Endless fight records went under in the early 2000's. and the Varisty Violence EP soon sold out quickly. The CD is extremely hard to find nowadays, I've seen copies go for almost $100. Which is ridiculous, so I've decided to scan the entire layout for you, so you can have the lyrics. I've also included the Varisty Violence demo, and a compilation song entitled "PIPE DREAM" which can be found on "Best of the best northeast" which has a lot of great east coast bands like inhuman, tears of frustration, One4One, Holdstrong, Indecision and more. Clubber Lang apparently did a reunion at this is hardcore fest last year. I think it was cold world with cooper on vocals. I don't really have too much info on that. I never got the chance to see Clubber Lang. I've heard stories of crazy shows, golf clubs and Hawaiian shirts. Maybe if you talk to someone from New Jersey they will drop some knowledge on you. Enjoy!

COLD AS LIFE... FIELD TRIP TO HELL



Cold As Life is without one of the most influential bands probably of the last decade for heavy hardcore. Hailing from MURDER CITY DETROIT... you get a real feel for what these guys were dealing with in Detroit through their lyrics and live show. Vicious, miserable and raw! Jeff's vocal and lyrical assault is still unmatched today.
Here for you are some miscellaneous tracks from different compilations, live shows and demos with JeffG on vocals. Hope you enjoy them! I've also included a folder with various flicks that I saved years ago from the old Cold as life website before it was shut down.



FIGHT THE OPPRESSOR (The Spirit Lives On...A Tribute To Raybeez And Warzone)
FAKES (Hardcore Ball 4)
MY OWN WORST ENEMY (Only the strong Compilation, Victory records)
LIVE IN FINLAND SET (lappeenranta-finland 09-16-2000)
RINGWORM/COLD AS LIFE SPLIT 7" (Stillborn records)
DEMO 95 AND 97 (Thanks to Ryan "xGREENCLOVERx" from the B9board for a much better quality rip of the 97 demo, My tape was fucked!)


RED SKY


Today I'm going to be showcasing one of my favorite local bands from my area. All these bands now doing the death metal hardcore sound (despised icon etc..). RED SKY was the originators as far as I am concerned. Red sky was a deathcore band from Edinboro Pennsylvania, and who I feel to be one of the only band in the erie area who could actually play metal. There have been numerous bad bar metal bands coming out of erie at the time who were caught up in style of korn/the deftones etc. I've had to sit through many of these bad bands when I used to hit up the now defunct State Street Tavern. SST was a metal bar in downtown Erie that used to have all ages showcase shows on saturdays... But there was many a time that I've snuck in the back during the 21+ shows. SST turned into Nickys pub which is a fucking yuppie bar, but apparently nickys pub is now closed and theres some new bar called the crooked I in its place..anwyays back to red sky for a moment. I remember watching red sky and idolizing their drummer Phil Hogan. At the time I was just dabbling into playing drums, and was drumming in my first hardcore band downturn when I was 15. I never had drum lessons, and we just kinda winged it. We were teenagers powered on SURGE soda, and just wanted to play shows with some of our favorite local hardcore bands, (Contradiction, Red Sky, Neverfall, Abstain, Digression, Brothers keeper, xDISCIPLEx).

Knife behind the smile is one of my all time favorite hardcore metal releases, it holds a special place in my heart growing up & I know deep down that if Red Sky never parted ways in the early 2000's they would be huge today. If you take a look at all this psuedo deathcore bands out, who downtune their guitars and pig squeel, they are all terrible. Take a word of advice go listen to an obituary record and write some new riffs.


You can download their First Full Length from 1998 entitled "KNIFE BEHIND THE SMILE"on the now defunct CT label ENDLESS FIGHT RECORDS (Clubber Lang, Unearth, dissolve) and their second Full Length "II - "MPFW" released in 2000 on ALVERAN RECORDS out of Europe.

BILLYCLUB SANDWICH - LIVE AT WNYU

Hailing from the boogie down Bronx, comes one of New York's most underrated hardcore bands, Billyclub Sandwich. Billyclub has been pumping out solid hardcore since the mid nineties. Playing up and down the east coast and stint in Europe.

Fusing aggressive Hardcore, reggee, and hip hop with bi-lingual lyrics, BCS is a unique standout from the NYHC sound. I like a band that can play heavy music and still be fun,
without all the seriousness that comes with a lot of bands that sound similar.


They have a fairly new release on DEAD CITY RECORDS, entitled "The Usual Suspects" which
you can purchase
here. I suggest picking it up.
It's been one of my favorite discs in the last few years. You can still find their first two releases "Chin Music" and "Superheros at leisure" in various distro's if you look hard enough. BCS actually makes me want to learn how to speak spanish... I'm not kidding either.




Here I bring you a Live set from New Yorks most infamous "down with the core" radio station WNYU back in 1999. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

REDLINE - THIS DAY


I picked this up a few years ago off some european FSERV on IRC before DALnet banned all filesharing on their servers.. I honestly don't know anything about this release. I have no artwork. All I know is that it was recorded in 1998 and it's called "This Day". I've scoured the internet for some kind of information on this release, but never found anything. "Relentless", "My World" and "Fixture", were re-recorded and released on "Moments Of Truth" in 2000.


If anyone has any information on this release, or knows how to get a hold of a physical copy, please contact me

THIS DAY 1998
