Konstrukt - Dis-Co

Found this on my PC, no idea where I got it from. Ultra sludge dirty powerviolence from Vienna, can't get much uglier than this. Couldn't find lot of info about these guys, in fact, couldn't find more of their releases except this split right here and very few other short tracks on youtube.

The download file has only one track, the full vinyl rip, both sides. I have no idea even what type of file this is (some unknown extension), but just play it with your media player, it works fine for me.. 
I actually tried to create time stamps but gave up fairly quickly (The Doors cover is on 08:44 (i think)  the Deep Purple one is on 30:04, if you care).
Also included are some cover photos taken by some guy who's selling this vinyl on ebay, so thanks man.

is hardcore dead? hardcore is disco...just become extinct

Slave One - Repulsor

If you enjoyed the Public Hanging post, here's another 90s industrial metal album with an awful artwork.
A Rochester duo, they've already released a demo called Uglify in 1994, under the name Golgotha, a bit more death metal less electronic than this one here, but both are solid releases.

1. Sated

2. Hybrid Strain

3. Cesspool

4. Repulsor

5. Catalyst

6. Static

7. Private Traps

8. Threadlock

9. Apart From Me

Rabies Caste ‎- Children Can Fall Into Bucket And Drown

Russell, Dale Rabid, Dave K.

Dear nature, thank you for bringing upon us a new virus, to help us reduce and balance our unthoughtful and selfish overbreeding, and for what seems to be an amusing upcoming socio-economical chaos to break the boring life routine, thanks to the hysterical morons. I only wish that instead of those lame flu symptoms, perhaps you could have made it a bit cooler ? some kind of nerve system-hard to trace virus, something brutal and violent.. something like, I donnu..

Rabies Caste are showing signs of life lately (you can follow on their facebook page) and updated that they are re-releasing their '98 debut magnum opus, For The Vomiting Tractor Drivers, for the first time on vinyl (suppose to happen this May, through Dada Drumming).
In order to celebrate all of the above, here's one of their long sought early demos, provided straight from the personal cassette collection of Mr. Rani Zager, a mentor and guidance for the musical education of me and many other local miserable bastards. We all thank you Zazbendoom.
Done my best to rip it lossless, but the source quality ain't high to begin with. Sounds pretty fair though, and contain great material, another superb release by sludge lords.

1. Neon
2. Horse
3. TRP-P-2

SPREAD THE DISEASE!!!

Upsidedown Cross - Witchcraft +

Witchcraft

This was requested in Hate comments section, so not gonna expand many words here, harder stuff to find will be uploaded on next posts as usual.
Link includes Witchcraft ep, plus Vampire In The Mirror, a track taken from UDC / Sloth split released 2002, though the track was appearently recorded way before in 1995, during Hate demo sessions (you can find it's final version on the album). Line ups are pretty much the same as far as I know, might be different guitar player but not quite sure about it.

1. Fire
2. Power of Satan
3. Witchcraft
4. I Hear Voices
5. Sands of Time

1995 - Vampire In The Mirror

Enjoy the madness

Pineal Ventana

Kim Chee, Travis Kotler, Clara Clamp, Brian Cook, Mitchel Foy
1993

Someone told me it became hard to find Pineal Ventana's stuff online, so I thought that's a good reason for a PV mega post.. besides, it's PV, that's a fine damn reason for it's own.
This post is including everything I could lossless rip, and every other release I could find in highest quality possible. Still some tapes are missing, if you have, please share.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the group, do some google work to understand more how interesting these guys were. Probably my all time favorite Georgia band, Ventana weren't following any rules and did exactly what they wanted to, both live and on record. Live they were at times a mix between the art exhibitions of Circle X and the chaotic insanity of Butthole Surfers (including the winning elements of every family show- urine, fire, female organs constructions, etc..), while their music was so diverse I'm not gonna even try and describe it, let's just say that it's mostly free-form, heavy, tribal and noisy, just like the stuff you usually get here. I could long list comparisons to every free thinking 80's industrial/noise rock/goth/post punk groups existed, so let's just not go there.
Both line up changings and the fact that the staying members kept expanding their instruments variety, helped the band on their continuous evolution while always staying fresh, pushing new ideas.
Make sure you check some videos on youtube, The Point shows are few of my favorite ones.
Honestly I've no idea how not even one album has been re-issued by now, PV deserves one of those complete discography fancy box set, and since no such thing exist, catch your breathe, here comes the thunder..


1993 - Stagnancy Is Revolting [varied high bit rate]


Second PV was this self released 7", in the end of their formation year, featuring founding member Mitchell Foy (percussion, vocals) and Clara Clamp (Danette Haser, vocals), Kim Chee (guitar, percussion), Travis Kotler (guitar, replaced Doug Herring) and last to join as the first line up was initially without bass guitar, was Brian Cook.

1995 - Living Soil [lossless]

And than came the saxophone. Shane Pringle joined turning the beast to a twelve arms six headed monster with one common twisted mind. Debut full length came on local Half Baked Records showing more improv nature than prior releases. When you see their photo in the booklet, you realize these nightmarish sounds are made by the most odd looking weirdo geeks.

1. Indica
2. Uzi Does It
3. Big Dick Roast
4. Colon Caddy
5. T.L.T.

1997 - Breathe As You Might [lossless]

By the time their second full length was released, PV saw some more line up changes, Jason LaFarge came instead Kotler, while on bass Cook was replaced by Ron Bon-> Leigh Jeffrey->Ryan Taylor (who is featured in track 13)->John Whitaker at last.
Featuring some old material by prior line ups and newly written stuff, this one is considered by some to be the best PV release, I believe it's just another blast one in a kind album by them, like the other three..

1. Untitled
2. Waterlogged
3. Dellamorte
4. Spatial Consequence
5. Spindlewick
6. Intrinsic
7. R
8. Deadlands
9. Leyner Notes
10. Parched Mind
11. Shauna Doll
12. Man Lies
13. The Slow Shock of Recognition
14. Cities In Linger



1998 - Expel [192kbps]


Three outtakes from the Breathe As You Might sessions and two more recently recorded at their rehearsal space at Black Box.

1. Walks Alone
2. New Spirits (For Old Rituals)
3. Dark Cloud
4. Effigy Burns
5. Calling Ø/Rid Rot



1999 - Malpractice [lossless]

First of two to be recorded and produced by Martin Bisi at his B.C. Studios, sure brought a level up sound-wise and brought the group towards bit more recognition. This one sounds more like a one complete unit, even though like both predecessors, it also contains few improv tracks recorded outside the studio. Was completed (probably even pressed) already in 1998.

1. Hollow
2. The Hooded Mirror
3. Crack In The Light (Crack In His Eye)
4. Taenia Solium
5. Dora's Deliverance
6. Rats For Belmer
7. Flesh That Moves
8. They Hide Life
9. Ruin
10. A Hollow Margin Forgotten
11. Practice

Edit: 

2000 - UX [varied low bit rate]

1. Alive
2. SSS (Land With No Heads)
3. **
4. Taenia Solium
5. Crack In The Light
6. - - - [Deaf]
7. P9
8. Intrinsic
9. Begotten
10. Untitled
11. Sleep
12. Studio Improv. 1
13. Studio Improv. 2

2000 - Axes To Ice [lossless]

PV's swan song and the second one involving Bisi saw the departure of Pringle, but as a quintet they still kept the bombastic exploding sound, and even draw a bit further into experimentation than previous one. Some of the music was acting as soundtrack for short film by Chad Rullman called Kotoran Jiwa, with PV's member acting in it, and stills from it portraying as the album's art. On one hand I really wanna watch this film, but on the other I'm scared to death..
Post release Whitaker and Chee left, and even though new players were joined (Brian Ginn and Lindell Todd) for a couple of live shows, 2001 saw the group's demise.

1. incarnia
2. Breach Denial
3. Control?
4. hark
5. S'vreem
6. Divide
7. One Held The Key - One Held The Sleep
8. SSS (The Land With No Heads)
9. Axes To Ice

Stagnancy Is Revolting !

Ausweis

Guy Katz, Ant Weiss, Michael Gorodinsky, Sergey Engel
ZOA, Tel Aviv, 1998

Ausweis were a Jerusalem band, comprised of teens who did aliyah (google it) from the USSR to Israel among with many soviets during the 90's. As foreigners who don't speak the language, and coming out of different culture and education, they didn't fit in, and felt out of their place. So was their music. Ausweis didn't fit into any local scene and were very isolated musically.

Formed by vocalist Anton Weiss in 1994 after meeting guitarists Eddie Korshonsky (who passed away, died of a heart attack before the first rehearsal) and Sergey Stephanoff.
Sergey brought Gena Yashinsky (drums), and this line up was supported by Ilia Mazya (who was playing in another russian band called Peregrin Krol) on bass for a one show.
Sergey Engel joined later that year, as permanent bass player. Another thing he contributed was "punk terminvox", an electric device he created while being young, which makes noise once fingers touch it and electricity start to flow, the terminvox was mostly played by Anton.
Second guitarist, Jenya Hermatzki joined for a short time somewhere between 1994-95, and was replaced by Guy Katz, who eventually became only guitar player when Stephanoff left to Canada.
The band saw two more drummers during their existence, Ofer Melech (95-96) and Michael Gorodinsky as the last one.
Ausweis described their music as "Ambient Hardcore Jazz-Trash Band" and I'm not gonna argue, but if it was up to me I'd just said experimental funk metal and call it a day. Someone once said their music sounds like a blend of Helmet, Klaus Nomi and Rammstein, all I can add is you should put some more ingredients in the blender if you want the right recipe for what they sound like.

Comintern.com is their debut and only official release, recorded in December 1997, released a year later by local label Earsay, thanks to a guy named Michael Meresse (the stoner looking guy in the documentary below) who got the money to fund it and helped a lot to promote the band. Also contributed guitars was Dave K. of the band Rabies Caste

1. Comiraden (contains samples of Maria Ulyanova as vocals)

2. Inside

3. Carpenter

4. Twist

5. Hurt

6. Vint 2

7. Pain Killer

8. Trackrek

9. Working Class Hero (John Lennon Cover)

10. Vint 3

11. מוות (Death)

Get it here

Meanwhile, while the album slowly gets to your music library, you can watch this great short-documentary by Duki Dror, released in 1999, after Ausweis were already dead (english translation)

Now, here is their (very unofficial) "discography" for you rarities seekers
