| Sounds Like | OUT NOW ON ALERTA ANTIFASCISTA:
AA56 | ALPINIST - MINUS MENSCH LP (april 2009) After their Demo and their Split LP with Finisterre, this is the third release by this outstanding band from Münster / Germany. These four young people have played countless shows in europe the last two years and should be well known for all those into contemporary melodic HC/Crust. Definetly one of the best bands in this genre coming from germany at the moment. I expeceted a lot from their new recordings, but what they deliver here exceeded all expectations. An almost fourty minutes thunderstorm in 11 acts, paired with a voice of dispair and accompanied by blistering melodies. www.myspace.com/alpinistsucks
AA55 | NEILA - DANZA DE NIEBLAS LP (april 2009) new record from this abrassive and depressive band! not far away from isis or neurosis but a little more metal. soon touring through europe.
www.myspace.com/neilanoise
AA54 | AGUIRRE - S/T LP (april 2009) Alright, here comes the new LP. after an LP and a split LP with HONGO from spain, you'd better be prepared for some new doomy and gloomy stuff here. AGUIRRE take up new songs and just as on their demo they reek of darkness and agony. It's so present it's half painful to listen to it, but that's also what draws me in. It's like staring down a bottomless abyss of all that is evil, sensing it, as the complete black allows you to see nothing - and liking it. They haven't changed a whole lot from their previous releases, it's still the minimalist angst with the lonely guitar tunes alternated with thundering heaviness, as with the whispering and roaring vocals - all executed in a real slow pace. It hurts, and I love the pain. www.myspace.com/aguirrederzorngottes
AA53 | MORNE / WARPRAYER - SPLIT LP (april 2009) The band that stands before you known as Morne started with many trials and tribulations. It began back in 2005, and even though there were many interested individuals, only one lineup had the dedication and perseverance to make the band a reality. The band features Milosz (ex-FILTH OF MANKIND) on guitar, Jeff (ex-DISRUPT, GRIEF) also on guitar, Max on bass and Kevin on drums (both from various Boston bands). Morne draws it's influence from powerful, intense bands such as AMEBIX, NEUROSIS and SACRILEGE. The undertones of these bands can certainly be heard in Morne's sound, but they create an atmosphere all their own. www.myspace.com/mornecrust
WARPRAYER features members of ripcord, dumstuck, gurkha... and its crust as fuck... www.myspace.com/warprayerpunk
AA50 | THE HOLY MOUNTAIN / COBRA NOIR - SPLIT EP (2009) THE HOLY MOUNTAIN hailing from Tampa, Florida! The Holy Mountain play a brutal brand of hardcore punk. Using the d-beat, the blast beat, bitter demented vocals, and fucked-up over the top guitar leads, The Holy Mountain dishes out musical violence that has been compared to bands like World Burns To Death, Driller Killer, From Ashes Rise, and Deathside. Dan from Combat Wounded Veteran handles vocal duties and pens bleak, spitefull lyrics railing against attoricities and oppression and the concentraitions of power responsible for them!
www.theholymtn.com | www.myspace.com/theholymountain
COBRA NOIR are from Montreal, Quebeck. after proving that their debut was no fluke, Cobra Noir's next effort, the split with THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, is yet another hammer to the face, this time delivered with even more venom and malice. Just brooding hardcore that rages with ferocity, it would give a Norwegian black metal goon a case of fudge-laden Fruit Of The Looms. the songs channels the ravenous aggression of almost-forgotten Canadian hardcore kings UNION OF URANUS and the BLACK HAND, both bands who clearly had metal in their hardcore before the term "metalcore" held about as much weight as "I promise." Channelling these influences through the confrontational grit and fortitude of DISCHARGE, the result is an endless barrage of bowel-rumbling chords pushed through overdriven amplification, a vocal style reminiscent of a sinner's froth-laden wailing as Satan plucks out his pubic hairs one by one and drums that border on incomprehensible while still providing the thrust necessary to make this behemoth blow the stainless steel out of your lobes.

AND STILL HOT:
AA52 | GRIEF - LIMITED TOUR LP (2008) alerta antifascista is very proud to announce the release of the limited tour ep for the upcoming european tour in november 2008! The last gasp from the TRUE founders of sickened depressed torturous sludge. A brutal ep with 2 songs from the mid 90ties! It is an honor for us here at ALERTA A. to be releasing this, considering they have been a huge influence on alot of bands we have worked with as well as a huge influence on my personal playing and obviously, Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine.
this release will be limited to 400 copies. silk screened cover, coloured vinyl... 300 copies for the bands merch tabel on their shows and the other 100 copies just directly from us!!!
www.myspace.com/officialgrief
AA51 | ICOS / OVERMARS - SPLIT EP (2008) ICOS from gothenborg, sweden are back with a new song of powerful, devestating and intense music filled with tuned-downed guitars, thundering drums and over the top vocals that molds together with more quiet, ambient parts. Both music and lyrics are delivered with talent, ambitiousness and a never-failing integrity. Expect inspiration and influences that range from Neurosis, Catharsis to His hero is gone and Kyuss to Isis. www.myspace.com/icosonline | www.icosonline.com!
OVERMARS from Lyon, France comes along with a perfect slab of music. the vocal attack is superb. the instrumentation is perfect! it's a great, trance inducing section of music. the heavy vocals, the slow, pounding rhythm, the ambient touches, the way the bass creeps in has the old Venom tone. The guitar interplay with the electronics during the long, methodical building process is spot on. the next vocal section is utterly downtrodden - perfect for the music which has sort of a NEUROSIS/SOULS AT ZERO being dismantled feel. the music has a real elastic quality here with the slow drum count, the jangly guitars and the flopping bass string tone. nothing but high praise from me on this song!!!

AA49 THE ASSASSINATORS - SIGT EFTER HJERTET LP (2008) (First they released a demo, then came their first 7", and after that came their demo as a 7" - all of them very well received by me and I dare to say a large number of punks worldwide. In late 2007 they visited the studio again and returned with the twelve tracks that became this LP.
Charged with emotional melodies and punk attitude they've once again created songs that are impossible to listen to without getting completely sucked in to. I've in earlier reviews said that their lyrics are poetic, but that is also true about their music and the structures of their songs. It's very poppy at times and all this rambling about emotions and poetry might scare away some real hardcore d-beaters, but to avoid any misunderstanding I want to make it perfectly clear that this is without a doubt punk. Punk in a pure and danceable form. Punk to which you can shake your ass while clenching your fist - not in anger but with dedication. The Assassinators makes me believe we can actually change the world to the better, even though they do address some dark topics in their lyrics as well. Still, this band gets me motivated to do what I think is best for myself and others and are doing so while providing one hell of a soundtrack.
But The Assassinators didn't just spend time writing music, this LP also comes with a thick booklet full of artwork and all their lyrics in Danish and English, along with in depth commentaries. This band has definitely not forgotten that it's very possible to combine punk, fun, and politics and get a very successful result. "Let this be a declaration of love or a kick in the ass" - LP comes with an 32 page booklet in an LP - size and poster!!! www.myspace.com/theassassinators)
AA49 THE ASSASSINATORS - SIGT EFTER HJERTET CD (2008) (First they released a demo, then came their first 7", and after that came their demo as a 7" - all of them very well received by me and I dare to say a large number of punks worldwide.

AA48 BEHIND ENEMY LINES - ONE NATION UNDER THE IRON FIST OF GOD LP (2007) (After two long years of silence, BEHIND ENEMY LINES has finally recorded the follow-up to their brilliant Know Your Enemy and The Global Cannibal albums. This new effort contains an equally ferocious sound of their previous efforts, with powerful Scandi-crust with a machine-gun-like punch, and of course the scaything, hyper-political lyrics that aren't afraid to name names and list address for those responsible for fucking over the world. If you do not already know BEHIND ENEMY LINES, then you are missing some of the most intense, anti-authoritiarian punk rock of our ages, made by veteran members of some of the most influencial Amarican hardcore/punk bands fo the last decade (AUS-ROTTEN, REACT, PIST, CAUSTIC CHRIST, etc.). This is the highest quality release in all respects and a easily ranking among the best punk / hardcore / metal albums of 2007!)
AA47 ICOS - FRAGMENTS OF SIRENS 2xLP (2007) (Icos brings you powerful, devestating and intense music filled with down-tuned guitars, thundering drums and over the top vocals that molds together with more quiet, ambient parts. Both music and lyrics are delivered with talent, ambitiousness and a never-failing integrity. Expect inspiration and influences that range from Neurosis to Cult Of Luna, Catharsis to His hero is gone and Kyuss to Isis. LP comes with a A2 four coloured poster!!! www.icosonline.com)
AA47 ICOS - FRAGMENTS OF SIRENS CD (2007) (Icos brings you powerful, devestating and intense music filled with down-tuned guitars, thundering drums and over the top vocals that molds together with more quiet, ambient parts.

Expect inspiration and influences that range from Neurosis to Cult Of Luna, Catharsis to His hero is gone and Kyuss to Isis. LP comes with a A2 four coloured poster!!! www.icosonline.com)
AA45 ICTUS - IMPERIVM CD (2007) (ICTUS are back. after one lp, a split lp with THIS THING CALLED DYING and a split 10" with OKBAN from spain, ICTUS from Galicia Spain delivers us their own way of modern-hardcore with a huge punch of crust and metal. Three guitar players delivering a wall of anger and frustration against those times we are living today, dark and heavy hardcore crust with some ambiental parts and screaming political thoughts all over. www.ictuscore.tk)
AA44 FALL OF EFRAFA elil 2xLP (2007)(fall of efrafa follow up their 2006 album "owsla" with "elil" the second installment in the trilogy known as "the warren of snares". elil is a maelstrom of crushing epic emotive hardcore, post rock and doom metal, taking influences from the likes the neurosis, his hero is gone, isis and god speed you! black emperor. 3 songs, more than 60 minutes recording
AA44 FALL OF EFRAFA elil CD (2007) (fall of efrafa follow up their 2006 album "owsla" with "elil" the second installment in the trilogy known as "the warren of snares". elil is a maelstrom of crushing epic emotive hardcore, post rock and doom metal! taking influences from the likes the neurosis, his hero is gone, isis and god speed you! black emperor. 3 songs, more than 60 minutes recording

www.theholymtn.com | www.myspace.com/theholymountain
CAVE CANEM from Hannover, Germany play a brutall powerful hardcore that combine the pounding, downtunes metal style of MOTÖRHEAD with the brutally powerful presence of TRAGEDY, FROM ASHES RISE and some traditional and modern neo-crust hints. the new songs are more dark and slow...
www.cave-canem.tk | www.myspace.com/oifreeyouth
AAA40 | FALL OF EFRAFA - OWSLA LP (2006) [fall of efrafa are a cello driven epic crust band from brighton, uk. Musically their style is reminscent of remains of the day, wolfbrigade, madame germen. They base their lyrics on the mythological and political overtones in the book "watership down" by richard adams. This is the first installment in a trilogy of records.]
AA37 | ALL SYSTEMS FAIL - S/T LP (2006) [after several 7" and a split 7" now the first lp by this amazing anarchopunkband from salt lake city, usa. they deliver us 80's punk/hardcore... a mix between conflict and crass, @patia no and los crudos to gauze and anti-cimex]

AA33 | SCHIFOSI - ABSENTIUM EXISTENCE LP (2006) [WITH MEMBERS OF PISSCHRIST!!! schifosi from australia is playing an unrelenting melodic hardcore. Epic, brutal, quintessential hardcore crust with female vocals. Extremely powerful lyrics, artwork, and presentation. Taking right where their LP "Ill Winds from Outopia" and the 7" "half lit world" left off, this release is darker, heavier, and more melody driven.]
AA32 | LOS DOLARES - LAS VENAS ABIERTAS DE AMERICA LATINA LP (2005) [Way more "crusty" and aggressive than their previous records. 14 songs of cool southamerican Hcpunk by this venezuelan band are delivered in a very convincing, fas and angry way - some spoken word stuff and melodic bits thrown in for your listening pleasure. The songs are transformed chapters of the book "the open wounds of South America" by Galeano. Excellent record from a brilliant band. Lyrix are dealing with the history of South America in general and the situation of Venezuela today. Cover and booklet are nicely put together and all lyrix and comments are translated in english - Highly recommended!]
AA30 | MADAME GERMEN - INVOCACION À MORTE 12" (2005) [5 great songs of pure emotive and abrassive HardcoreCrust! incredible mixture of power and emotiveness. they can be compared with bands like REMAINS OF THE DAY, TRAGEDY or ENVY.]

AA28 | APATIA NO / FALLAS DEL SISTEMA - SPLIT 10" (2005) [Southamerican anarcho punk attack delivered by 2 dedicated bands! both bands a brand of their own and deliver fucking excellent uptempo hardcorepunk! Apatia No storming through 6 raging tracks with fe/male vocals. Melodic stomping and fast and aggressive. Lyrix dealing mostly with the "problems" that you're facing if you trying to move from a so-called "3rd World country" into the rich and privilegded world of the "western civilization. Fallas Del Sistema from Mexico are more midtempo based with downtuned guitars. Aggressive and desperate. Lyrix getting delivered by 2 singers, who shout out their anger and rage. The record is wrapped into a beautiful designed fold out poster. Lyrix are translated into english. This is a record that has spirit and is one of those that keeps me going! coreleased with NOSEKE RECORDS]
AA10 | VANING 5 - SLA TILLBAGS OCH ÖVERLEV 7" (2003) [NOW THEY ARE CALLED MASSMORD!!! GREAT!

AA04 | KOBAYASHI - DISCO LP (2002) [this band from bremen know how to rock! concerning the music they're somewhere in between punk and hardcore, most of the time a bit melodic, but with a rough edge! really good political lyrix makes this one a standout]
