Forced- Accursed Share (2012)

Forced

Location: Brooklyn, NY

Title: Accursed Share

Release Date: June, 2012

Track Listing:
1. Accursed Share
2. At Empire's End
3. Lost Life
4. Devours Everything 
5. Partitioning the Sensible

"Our sound can be described as a riff heavy doom-laden blend of black metal and really fucking pissed off hardcore, with a tendency from time to time to drop tempo into slower paced death metal.  We hail from Brooklyn NY and all grew up in and around the NYHC scene playing in bands and going to shows.  While our sound is as metal as it comes, we carry our selves like the hardcore bands we grew up digging, that is DIY and pissed as fuck!  FFO:  craft, converge, hooded menace, vastum, mamothgrinder, deathwish bands, etc"

Depravation- I:PRAEDICTVM (2012)

Depravation

I:PRAEDICTVM (2012)

Genre- Blackenedcore

Got an email from these German lads a few days ago. Its an odd demo for sure but I like the direction they are going in. The cassettes are hand numbered in human blood and limited to 50 copies, thats cool enough for me to support. And actually I had already downloaded this from The Living Doorway before I realized that this same demo was awaiting me in my email haha. Oh well, as always JGD sums it up much better than I ever could, so you can check out his post and excellent blog here.

Hell Brigade- Hell Brigade (2005)

Hell Brigade (2005)

Genre- Hardcore, Metalcore

Heres a good one for all you hardcore fans. Hell Brigade was a short lived hardcore "supergroup" hailing from both New Jersey (NYC) and Japan. Featuring members of NJ Bloodline, 25 Ta Life, One 4 One, and Everybody Gets Hurt, as well as guest members "Takeshi the Butcher" and "Senor Take" from Japan. The sound is a classic blend of straight forward NJ/NYC HC and East Coast metalcore with a couple breakdowns and plenty of anthemic rhythms. I was lucky enough to check these guys out live and lets just say... you missed out. This is a must have for fans of fun and very obscure hardcore.

if I get back alive I'll be sippin' on a bottle of Colt 45

Roger Klotz- Ignorance Eternal (2009)

Roger Klotz

Ignorance Eternal (2009)

Genre- Hardcore/Metalcore

What is it with New Jersey and bands named after 90's TV characters? Hack Morris and Danny Tanner are the 2 that come directly to mind. This is not another bullshit joke album though, I promise you, this one is full of well recorded riffage, excellent drumming and lyrics focused around the stupidity of a certain strain of pop culture. To my knowledge this 6 song EP is the only recording ever released. Unfortunately the band Roger Klotz was only around for about a year, luckily I had the chance to catch them at a VFW, great shit. If you like intense floor clearing breakdowns, high energy old school hardcore circle pits and fucking hate the Jersey Shore than this is an absolute must download.

Loma Prieta- I.V. (2012)

Loma Prieta

I.V. (2012)

Genre- Chaotic Hardcore/Grindcore

An absolutely stunning display of organized and highly melodic chaos. This release is pure energy and god damn is it infectious. Sorry but it's only been released as a 12" vinyl so far, lucky for you the download is only 6 bucks @ the Deathwish EStore. Make sure to support these guys if you like what you hear.

Candiria- Deep In The Mental (1995)

Candiria

Deep In The Mental (1995)

Genre- Death Metal/Grindcore/Jazz/Jam/Other

I think I may have more respect for Candiria than I do for pretty much 90% of the other bands that I listen to. Ok, so that may be a bit of a stretch but still, without these guys I dont think I'd be as into the obscure metal scene as I am. I swear I was raised on the street driven, attitude plenty, atmospheric, abstract assault that is Candiria's early recordings. These guys were never given a solid chance by most, go ahead, try to find a Metal Archives page for them. Not metal enough? Ha! These guys fired on all "metal" cylinders constantly, from death metalling growls to swift hardcore flavored beatdowns to melodic jazz infused bass driving chaos to grindcore influenced blasts. Just take a listen, for first timers I can guarantee a future download of another album. For those more experienced with the band already, you should know that this is their first demo and it contains a few tracks that went on to be re-recorded for 'Process of Self Development'. I'll be sure to share that gem with you all soon, in the mean time check out this post as well as... er um, well, this post.

Settle the Score- s/t (2000)

Settle the Score (2000)

Genre- Hardcore

So I've been in the mood for some hardcore shit since I woke up. I'll save another dusty NJ Bloodline or One 4 One post for a rainy day. Today I share with you a classic hardcore album from Germany circa 2000. I found out about these guys after NJ Bloodline toured with them in Europe. I even managed to score an actual copy of this EP a few years back, but this is not my upload or my link, sorry. This is pretty good stuff, very straight forward HC, think early Sworn Enemy meets Terror's better stuff. Dig?

Shattered Realm- All Will Suffer (2001)

Shattered Realm

All Will Suffer (2001)

Genre- Hardcore/Death Metal

One of NJ's most punishing acts of all time. This here was the best incarnation of Shattered Realm featuring Chris Realm on the vocal duties. True, street raised hardcore with a thick death metal accent. Punishing breakdowns and memorable riffs. Man, these guys were a fucking wrecking crew live. This is absolutely essential to fans of early 'deathcore'.

All Will Suffer

Fuck.. YouTube won't let me embed this killer live video

Candiria- Surrealistic Madness (1996)

Candiria

Surrealistic Madness (1996)

Genre- Hardcore/Death Metal/Jazz/Noise

One of the most talented, overlooked and underrated bands in the entire history of the metal scene. These guys dont even have a Metal Archives page, to say that Candiria is not metal is fucking ridiculous.. Anyway, they bring a unique, raw, attitude filled assault with every breath. Blink and you'll miss parts of their genius, for these guys move at 100 mph. Every album (and song...) is different and special in its own way mixing passages of death metal, hardcore, noise, tribal, acid jam, jazz and rap. I find this to be one of their more brutal releases and I will do my damnedest to share my entire collection of Candiria at some point. Enjoy.

Diecast- Undo The Wicked (1998)

Diecast

Undo The Wicked (1998)

Genre- Metalcore/Hardcore

Man.. when I was a youngin' this was my shit. Throw away every negative notion you currently have about Diecast because this here is the good stuff. Straight up aggressive, bass driven Boston hardcore from the day. Full of memorable samples, catchy vocals and monstrous floor clearing build ups. This EP's personnel is slightly different from that on 2001's 'Day Of Reckoning' in the strings dept, and the songs are also built to be much longer and move at a slower pace at times. This is some must have shit for fans of the early East Coast hardcore/metalcore movement.

Don't you miss hardcore like this? An energetic, melodic, bass driven beat down, full of emotion and perfect for the classic circle pits and pile ons that the NJ scene was known for in the mid to late 90's. One 4 One, and this EP especially, truly define the golden years of the NJHC movement.
