YOUTH AGAINST live @ Club Ex, Gornji Kuršanec 21.09.2001. - video



it's time for one blast from the past.. Youth Against were hardcore band from Čakovec, Croatia and were active since 1997 until somewhere around 2002, playing some crossover thrash style hardcore more in veins of Agnostic Front/SOIA or so called NYHC which I don't like much but remember they were always dear band to me and I spin their tape "Uživo iz Močvare" countless times on my Roadstar walkman on the way to school during long boring drives in those "socialist" old rusty and stinky buses, those were the times, hehe.. 
here is live footage from cult place, club Ex in one village just outside of Varaždin, right across the bridge towards Čakovec (which wasn't just cult on domestic hc punk scene but was known as place for more "mainstream" pop/rock culture and clubbing scene here) made and recorded on VHS during "Tribute to Vujo" concert in September of 2001..
later they reformed again once or twice for some gigs, and these days they are full active, even are finishing new album which will not have much similarities with old Youth Against, to be honest, at least if we judge by the new single which they published on bandcamp few days ago.. and that's not all, also you have the chance to see them live in a few days on this years 3FF festival in their hometown..




- video is from this yt channel: youtube.com/@jjavca where you can find videos of other bands that were playing that night, as well: One Step Away, Apfuken, Fibox, De La Grande and Retard.. real throwback to some old times..

artwork for new album by Ego..

new artwork made by Nesha Doomsday for his band's new album.. looks brilliant and powerful and sick in the same time.. as always from him.. long ago he became recognizable artist in underground circles doing countless amount of artworks for the most various hc punk, crust and even metal bands out there and until today stayed one of my favorite..
btw, the top image on this blog and some other used here are also his work, I've been huge fan from the beginnings, hehe..
some of his arts you can check and also support his work here: https://doomsdaygraphics.bigcartel.com/ or find him on instagram and facebook..

VISIONS OF WAR - the lost tapes 2002 "A Bottle Too Far" - re-noised LP is out now!!!


woooooow!!.. or should I just say V.O.W., hehe.. this is the most beautiful thing I've seen in crust punk for a while.. just look at it.. and still when you hear it, you'll get it what I mean.. the moment I first time heard those recordings a year or something ago when the Visions crew published it on bandcamp I felt in love with it, it's from the period of line up and sound by Visions Of War that I always liked the most.. even when writing something little about it here I mentioned that I can't wait and I can bet that someone will release this on some physical format, and voila, here it is!!.. and from whom other than from hard working Oscar from Not Enough records who is also good friend with the band..
so what exactly we have here, you maybe ask?.. forgotten, old recordings from 20 years ago recorded live all at once in some studio in Amsterdam, from the same session as for legendary split with Olho De Gato, edited or "re-noised" by former singer Lolo years later.. filthy and raw but powerful and angry crustcore at its best!..
can't fckng wait to spin this and treat my eyes and ears with this gem.. 
my copy will be hopefully on the way soon, and what are you waiting for!?.. go grab it!..



- from Not Enough:
Dirty old recordings brought back to life and now 20 plus years after recording, released in the feeling of how it was back in the days when this took place.
Comes with a booklet to tell some stories, memorized by Lölö.
recorded live in may 2002
in squatted amsterdam by dejan aka master of kaos
the 8 other songs of that session had been released
on the split lp with olho de gato (2002)
sound files fixed 2023 by Mattias Persson
credits
released August 28, 2023

on dis recording visions of war was:

arno & Stef – skitars
boris – bass
filip – sticks & stone
lolo & stiv – vokills

- from Visions of War:
What can we say .....tack , merci b`coup , bedankt ,hvala , obrigado , muchos gracias to Mr. Not Enough recs / Crutches / Voidfiller / Mangel Productions for releasing this piece of vinyl , a recording ( from the olho De Gato split lp session) unmixed but nicely manipulated by Lolo ( former vow member) and Mattias ( Skelaris , Malmö_) to give it the extra kick , it was recorded live , so no overdubbing seperate sessions , all in one go , given a wasted quick mix by legend Dejan ( M.=.K. recordings ) it represents what we where 20 years ago , raw , full of anger and fast , noe we are a bit older ( some of us ) but still feeling angry ......we will have copies on our next shows , especually Riot over river 1 day fest where we`ll play some songs from this release , and with each sold copie 2 euro will go to the refugee benefit pot , same as all the other stuff ...pee ya at the dis-tro table

PLASTIKA live @ Podrum, Rijeka 24.06.2023. - video


"hodam do doma, paranoja me pere 
ne želim se bojati vlastite sjene 
vidim prijetnju svud oko sebe 
strah je često jači od mene 
bojim, bojim se tebe 
bojim, bojim se sebe 
bojim, bojim se svega 
paranoja me pere, nešto me vreba"

WARCOLLAPSE live @ Klubb Fredagsmangel, Järfälla (Sweden) 03.03.2023. - video


old wolves do it best.. live footage from the gig with Massgrav which happened in March this year.. awesome.. one of the rare wishes left for me to see them live someday, even I "watch" them once, I think that was in 2009 on Balkanikacore festival, but it was something like this: me and one friend wake up leaning against some wall dead intoxicated asking one to another who is this band playing and after realizing saying something like "it's Warcollapse, hell yeah!" and then immediately both passed out, again.. damn, stupid fools..

- video is from here: youtube.com/@klubbfredagsmangel




and while watching this one I accidentally find another one, much older and realized they do it even better when they were young.. so here is also this massacre recorded in some ancient times in 1998 in Eldslandet, which was, I believe, club or some space in Jönköping, Sweden..
enjoy the filth!..

WARKRUSHER - Armistice - new album is out soon!!!


new album by one of the best current stench crust bands, Warkrusher from far away Montreal is available online and will be soon out as 12" vinyl on Agipunk here in Europe and Desolate Records in the States.. it will be actually their proper debut LP and hey, it will be brutal!.. 7 lengthy tracks in good old school stench core manner with some "Hellshock alike" or "Boltthrowish" metal influences, to me only some faster moments here and there are missing like those from the "Demo" and even "Pils Sessions" so this powerful album would be perfect.. artwork is also story for itself and I'm sure all together will look amazing..
from Agipunk side preorders starts on August 15th and will be out officially just for the beginning of their euro tour on September 15th which will start from Modena, so the easiest and fastest way to pick it up will be on this tour, don't miss it!..
until then enjoy it online and start practicing your eardrums on some greasy and filthy noise, you'll need it when they demolish all your local diy holes on their 10 days crusade through central Europe..
