new releases on AUTSAJDER PRODUKCIJA (Krayat and State Manufactured Terror)

Autsajder Produkcija is sub label of well known and established Doomtown Records from Zagreb focused mostly on tapes or 7" recordings of some less known or old bands..
now they have two great releases ready for pre-orders and I just can recommend both because they sound awesome and also looks great..

KRAYAT - "For breakfast paranoia, for dinner what?"
so 1st we have Krayat, some Balkan folks currently situated in Berlin, this is their 1st offering on vinyl and I can't wait to hear the whole thing from it because they have this very interesting dark sound, like mix of old ex-Yu hardcore from 80s and Greek crust punk from 90s.. awesome stuff.. I think this band deserve more recognition and support.. it's already available on youtube for streaming so hit your ears with some desperate filth there before ordering this..

"За закуска параноя, За вечеря какво?" or "For breakfast paranoia, for dinner what?" is the first vinyl offering by these four Balkan punx located in Berlin.
The bands' thrashing dark 'n' cold sound coming from the down under evoke the spirits of more metallic side of 80's Ljubljana hardcore bands but filled with Suomi HC darkness and the stamp of explosive power and epicness of traditional Greek and Bulgarian late 80's and 90's punk.
The record comes with two-sided risographed cover and screenprinted A3 poster. Available also on limited white vinyl.
Pre-orders will be shipped on 21h August.


STATE MANUFACTURED TERROR - "The US Government is a Kleptocratic Doomsday Cult"
and the other is from total maniacs from the States, which I discovered recently while exploring something more about fertile and awesome New York's diy punk crust scene.. after explosive demo tape released on great Peace of Mind records this will be their first proper release and it will be killer, you can already check it on youtube just to make sure.. they play this totally insane and hard to describe mix of everything, I already tried to describe them in one of previous posts here or just read what crew from Autsajder Produkcija write about them below..

"The US Government is a Kleptocratic Doomsday Cult" is the first vinyl offering by this relatively new NYC noisy crust punk unit that, to this ears, delivered one of the most powerful releases of 2023. in the form of their debut demo tape.

What we have here is ten minutes of noise not music extravaganza, and if you can imagine the manic grinding rawness of NAPALM DEATH '85-'86 demos mashed up with R'N'R Conformity phase of DEVIATED INSTINCT, you might be on the right track to illustrate the sound and politics of State Manufactured Terror. Featuring members of Pobreza Mental, Headsplitters and Porvenir Oscuro.

The release is limited to 350 copies, 250 on black and 100 on swamp green vinyl. Each copy include two-sided risographed cover and risographed A4 poster.

Recorded by Owen Deutsch @ D4MTlabs.
Mixed and mastered by Scott Tamucci.
Artwork by Wombat.

Pre-Orders will be shipped on 21st August.


anyhow, both records are worth of your attention so don't miss them and support the work of this interesting label and of course both bands..

LOŠ PRIMJER - Slikovnica - is out now on vinyl!!!

hell yeah, this day has finally come, latest album "Slikovnica" by those melodic punks (but with their souls buried deep down in metal) gets its physical edition in form of full length 12" LP.. even 9 years after its release in digital format only, this masterpiece saw the light of the day on no more nor less than on the king of audio mediums - vinyl.. if you ask me it's absolutely deserved, this album was just like meant to be released on vinyl and Loš Primjer with their 27 years history sure deserve one such proper record..
I already mentioned this album few times here on crucified freedom while I wrote short review and also later here while confessing my "weakness" toward this band, so you already know everything you should..
LP was released by themselves in cooperation with not so diy-ish labels Dostava Zvuka and Lumer Shop so most likely that's why the price is unpopular and spicy 26 €, but fck it, I was waiting so long for this one I would probably buy it even if it is 50.. and I bet it will sound awesome from vinyl so I'm now waiting delivery with huge impatience..
it's available of course directly from the band or on some of their gigs or you can contact above mentioned Dostava Zvuka or Lumer shop and I've order my from Dirty Old Empire webshop..
