Rational Animals - Bock Rock Parade

Rational Animals - Bock Rock Parade

These dudes sound like the perfect blend of Black Flag and Black Sabbath. This came out in the fall on Katorga Works (which is one of the best labels going) and it totally caught me by surprise with it's awesomeness. Bock Rock Parade is a total fucking beast of an album; It's punk, it's hardcore, and it's fucking metal. There is some serious Ginn worship going on here. This is one of the better records I've heard all year. Do yourself a favour, pick this up and play it real fucking loud.

Bullet LaVolta - Gimme Danger EP

Bullet LaVolta - Gimme Danger EP

This EP was released by Metal Blade Records in 1990 and it features a totally rad live cover of "Detroit Rock City". The two new originals on here "Every Hungry Rabbit" and "Transparent Man" rank up there with some of the best songs the band ever wrote. Punk metal at its finest.

The Fucking Wrath - Terra Fire

The Fucking Wrath - Terra Fire

These are some dirty fucking jams. The Fucking Wrath can go from sludgy doom-laden riffs to pummeling d-beat hardcore flawlessly and within the same song. Their debut LP Season Of Evil was the fucking tits, and this EP is a true rager. If you like your hardcore crusty and your metal sludgy than The Fucking Wrath will make you spill your children. This is their first release for the venerable Tee Pee Records, and hopefully it won't be their last.
