Black Goat - Demo

San-Fran Thrash/Black/Speed band from the early 90s(?). This is pretty Lo-fi (it was also recorded live), but don't let that stop you from checking these guys out:

MIA as far as I can tell.

A heaping helping of BATHORY

Bathory--the foundation for Black Metal as a whole and flagship of Nordic Viking Metal. If you have any interest whatsoever in Black Metal--download this (start with Blood Fire Death). My personal favorite? Hammerheart.

Trey, post Metal Black!

Joe Preston!!

Long time no see?

I was going to do this really big Joe Preston appreciation post and up 6 or so albums that he played on, but I just don't have the time to write something that large right now (plus I'm really really lazy).

INSTEAD--I will shut up and present you with these A+ Preston-affiliated efforts:

Melvins - Lysol EP
Melvins - Joe Preston EP
High on Fire - Blessed Black Wings
Thrones - Alraune

MINDGRINDER! Tomorrow at 10pm! (eastern) -- wmucradio.com

I'll make an honest effort to post a little more regularly in the next few weeks

Slammin' Watusis - Self-titled

What the fuck.

Imagine if ZZ Top, The Ramones, and Ian Underwood decided to form a punk band with a saxophone for texture. Wow, just wow...

Circle Jerks - Group Sex

My personal vinyl rip of the Circle Jerks' 15 minute album 'Group Sex'. It's authentic too--only two tracks; First Side and Second Side! Oh the novelty!!

(I was actually too lazy to cut up the tracks.)

Pillsbury Hardcore Discography

This is Straight-Edge Hardcore from the Mid-Eighties...I originally ran into these guys through Spazz's cover of their song "Hey Bob, What's Up?". Pillsbury Hardcore laid the groundwork for the powerviolence movement a few year later, and the members went onto bands like "Man Is The Bastard" and "Pissed Happy Children". They named the band after their Hardcore-Obsessed buddy who looked uncannily like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
