SOCIAL NAPALM news



some great news from Erik (also responsible for Negative Insight) and his label Social Napalm.. 2 fresh releases on vinyl, one new and one is repress of no more and no less than awesome last year's album "Service To Your Country" by Boston's punks Savageheads who were touring this our area in Europe in last couple of weeks and also one new release in digital form only, on bandcamp.. for more info continue reading below..



ISOLANT - "Oblivion" 12" (SNR-015, 2023)
Featuring current and former members of various Boston bands, Isolant have resurrected the "industrial crust" sub-genre from the dead. Taking influences from Godflesh, Pitchshifter, Coil and mixing it with a thick late 1980s UK crust influence of bands like Deviated Instinct, this EP represents a resurrection of the long dead style. From selecting an IBM Selectric font for the back cover text to retain the feel of the time period, to using Pantone spot-ink printing to achieve that '80s hue, to the skillful mastering of Carl Saff for maximum loudness, no detail was spared in the process of making this EP and capturing the spirit of the industrial crust style.

Bandcamp

ANXIETY - "Pathetic" 12" (digital only) (SNR-012, 2009) $7.00
Nine songs of scalding, driving thrash drenched in pessimism and cynicism. Many bands from the mid-'80s into the early '90s as an influence here, including Septic Death or Siege, with the blueprint for this was Rupture's "Righteous Fuck" 7" from 1991. Originally released as a 12" in 2009, but made available for digital download here.
