SF046 - AFTER THE LAST SKY - And This Is Progress? LP
This bunch from the UK make an excellent racket that mashes up metal, hardcore, grind and everything in between to construct really memorable and exciting songs. Tons of labels are in on this, and it promises to be a good one. The blackcore revolution starts here!
SF044 - END THE AGONY - From The Lungs 7"
This Brighton-based, ex-Cat On Form guitar and drums duo (they've recently added a bassist to the line-up incidentally) make a seriously cathartic type of hardcore dirge punk. Think Swans, Dystopia and so on. This one will be a split release with Opiate, Tadpole and the band themselves. Can't wait.
SF043 - TRACTOR - Cattle CDR
Imagine Unsane, Melvins, old Helmet, Swans, Butthole Surfers and all that kind of shit. Recorded at the same place "Dopethrone" was done, this is Tractor's second CDR. Let us know if you want a copy, as it'll be free. It'll also be given away with any orders received.
SF042 - THE DEATH OF HER MONEY - Spirit Of The Stairwell CD
The truly epic debut CD album from these hypnotic Welsh Krautrocking doomsters, and it's a split release with Rat Patrol Records.
SF041 - TAINT - Secrets And Lies 2xLP
This is the second album from the UK's premier stoner-hardcore fusion power-trio. Once again we're doing the vinyl version of the CD on Rise Above. Listen to "Hex Breaker" on their myspace page!
SF039 - ARMY OF FLYING ROBOTS - Life Is Cheap CD
The debut album proper from one of the best thrash hardcore bands in the UK! Super-fast drumming, harsh atonal riffs and deadly screams!
SF033 - JINN - s/t CD
This is their first full-length following on from various splits with Army Of Flying Robots, The Suicide Handbook and Ebola. Jinn are ex-Ebola, Generic, Thirty Seconds Until Armageddon and loads of other bands, and play a rocking kind of political thrash hardcore grind!
SF038 - THE MOCK HEROIC - Dignified Exits CD
A young but deadly serious band taking cues from the classic 90's emo bands but adding a vicious, experimental, technical edge that keeps things edgy but heartfelt.
SF023 - NARCOSIS - Romance LP
Face-melting harsh grindcore from the UK finally makes it onto wax! Heavyweight black vinyl!
SF036 - DE NOVISSIMIS / TUNGUSKA - split 7"
Two amazing Irish bands on one record. DeNov do doomed-out hardcore whilst T bring epic d-beat mayhem! Lovely artwork too.
SF035 - ARMY OF FLYING ROBOTS - Discography CD
Politicised thrash hardcore from the UK! This collects the songs from the self-titled 7" and splits with Jinn and Taint together with a nice booklet and video too!
SF032 - TRACTOR - Demo CDR
Unholy noise rock inspired by Unsane, Butthole Surfers, Melvins, (old) Helmet, Shellac, The Jesus Lizard and stuff like that!
SF031 - ART OF BURNING WATER - The Voyage Of The Pessimistic Philosoph: An Ode To Believers Of The Prevailing Law Of Sod CD
Incredibly tight and brutal, AOBW create a half hour of totally panicked heavy technical metal hardcore and immensely long song titles. Think Mastodon, Keelhaul, Melvins, Craw, Botch and Zeni Geva, and then crank the speed up to near breaking-point.
SF030 - GEISHA - Mondo Dell'Orrore CD
With 'Mondo Dell'Orrore', Geisha have upped the creative ante even further as their slyly melodic, deceptively minimal guitar constructs battle ever more artfully with the distortion-wrecked hardcore sensibilities at the band's heart.
SF029 - HUNTING LODGE - Energy Czar CD
From the south coast of the UK, a new album from this band, somewhere between The Jesus Lizard, Captain Beefheart, prog, noise, punk and all that kind of thing!
SF028 - TAINT - The Ruin Of Nova Roma 2xLP
After 10 years, Taint truly have found a unique sound within the UK scene, and indeed the world, with their blend of heavy stoner riffing and forward-thinking post-hardcore.
SF025 - FLATLANDS / SUNSHINE REPUBLIC - split 12"
Flatlands are seriously heavy in a stripped-down Isis style, monolithic yet catchy. SR is on a more experimental tip, reminding these ears of House Of Low Culture. The LPs all come on 180-gramme grey vinyl, and have cool acetate inserts.
SF024 - SWARRRM / DIMLAIA - split 10"
The nuts experimental grinders team up with California's ethereal doom outfit (featuring ex-His Hero Is Gone people), on white vinyl and a beautiful gatefold sleeve.
SF021 - SNOWBLOOD - Being And Becoming CD/2xLP
Eight songs in 68 minutes from the Scottish band that somehow combine the experimentalism of Godspeed with the heaviness of Neurosis. Genius.
SF019 - THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE - Turn Illness Into A Weapon LP
Andy from Shank / Ebola's new band, based in Canada. This is more of that powerviolence stuff mixed in with crushing slow bits.
SF009 - SNOWBLOOD - The Human Tragedy CD/LP
The first 6 tracks released by this band, running the gamut from ambient drones through to crushing noise metal!
SF008 - SERMON - Traitor 7"
Pre-Kinetic Crash Cooperation lunatics in a sound-crash of Coalesce, Kiss It Goodbye and Unsane.
Coming soon:
SF040 - SNOWBLOOD - third CD/2xLP
Snowblood's long-awaited, untitled third album is a real monster, with four songs spanning over an hour, so it's another double vinyl and CD release for us. Glyn of Scrawled Design is handling the art, so it'll definitely look the business. Once again Lawgiver Records will be helping put this thing out.
SF027 - MOSS 7"
This has been in the works forever. Formerly planned to be a split release with Serpents, who promptly broke up, Disclose were up next, but Kawakami-san's untimely demise put an end to that plan. Now it looks like it'll be Moss on both sides, using shorter tracks of their trademark primordially extreme doom sludge from both of their album sessions! Several other labels are involved on this one too, and we'll keep you posted.
Rock poster show includes the work of: Chaos vs. Cosmos, Drew Millward, Jacknife, Luke Drozd, Kate Kamikaze, Michael Cowell, Graham Pilling, Jemma Treweek, Tom A, Jamie McGregor, Two Ducks Disco, Rhyfer Inc. - Rhys Wootton, 3D Glasses, Droid.
