Brutal - Bullshit, Attitude, And EXPERIENCE

This blog looks even uglier without a scanner

Four guys from Grangemouth/Falkirk (perhaps ?):
F.B. Coltrane (Brian Guthrie I think, Robin's brother and head of the label to release this- Anoise Annoys), Dogbite, Cheg and Bebop.
"Special thanks to Bigwar on track 2 and Russell McEwan on track 6. Sample sources, with thanks all round includes "The Cowboys", "Star Trek", "The Trial of The Chicago Eight", "The Day Today", "L.A. Law", "The Commancheros", "The Searchers" plus odd moments of David Essex, Sammy Davis JNR and Phil Harris".
Industrial rock, breakbeat with some Stretchheads angry energy. If you like Meat Beat Manifesto and such. Good stuff here.

'NEVER GIVE UP NEVER GIVE IN DON'T BELIEVE YOUR GOD DON'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GOD' (lossless rip)

So.. I kinda forgot to scan the cover
I'll get it done someday

2006 - MW (lossless)

The first one is just pure sonic blast mostly. Ultra-raw and heavy, sludge-noise metal.
Primitive Neurosis with Skullflower noise level and Killing Joke backbone.
The obvious better one among the two, don't miss it.

1. I Don't Kill You
2. For David
3. The Calling Out Of Soldier's Mind
4. Sencitive (My Soul)
5. Who's Next
6. The Deadly Friends (R.I.P)

2010 - M.A.R.K.Z (lossless)

Is much weirder. The line-up changed completely except for Kan (vox), and although the first track is written by Hyo Kagawa (who was the guitar player on the first album, and wrote all of it's tracks), the music is drastically different.
This is like a pub band is jamming that same sludge-noise metal (oh yes, it's still heavy), feeling liberated to go where ever they want (Ska beats, East Bay Ray surf punk guitar, you name it), especially the bass player (the best thing on this album) with his in your face bass lines after bass lines. Great remix by Balata at the end.
Could have been better with some guidance at the recording probably.

1. Cancer
2. Murasaki
3. Black Rainbow
4. Waltz
5. Hate Song
6. Black Rainbow (Monke¥ Wa$ Dubbed Remix)

Thanks to Zager for lending me his copies.

Ragewar - Backlash

In case someone is looking for this, there it is. Otherwise I wouldn't bother.
Very generic industrial techno with some typical zeitgeist vocals.
Very.. Mortal Kombat theme song 'inspired'.

1. Reality
2. Silent Majority
3. Dare To Care
4. Equality
5. A Word From Dave
6. Thought Crime
7. Here's Ragewar
8. Hardcore Overload
9. Urban Forest Odyssey

Kano doesn't approve

Les Jeunes - Plug

Looking at the credits, no idea who Fred and Duke are, but Raph is Raphaël Rastelli who's done some nice things along his career, and now active in von Stroheim. Big Jock played with Raph in a group called Nutshell.
They started up around '87-'88 and that sums up what I could find about these guys.. pretty straightforward 'industrial' rock/alternative metal à la Brussels. Casual '90s album, has its highs and lows.

3. Violence (Non Merci)
4. Tetsuo
5. Rapburger
6. Encore Une Journée
7. Vivisectie

9. Cocaine
10. Ce Soir
