Faster, FASTER!!!

So, upon the succes with my first post, I figured to post another one, this time a three-piece.

First up is a record that a friend passed me for free from his record store. Upon asking him what it was, since I never heard of the band before, he informed me that it was "good fast hardcore". As he knows my love for fastcore, powerviolence and grind I figured that he knew what I would expect when he told me it was fast. I was in NO way dissapointed, and can highly recommend Strong Intention - Extermination Vision. I still dont know much about this band, but I read it described somewhere as "a NYHC-toughguy band that just started playing faster and faster over time". This record is fuckin PISSED and is sure to grind your testicles to dust!

Next up is one of the ultimate fastcore/powerviolence classics: Siege - Drop dead. This is the record that the band Drop Dead took their name after. That should go a bit of way in describing the impact that this record had on the genre as a whole. Eight tracks of blistering fast hardcore, and one crushingly slow one, taking one whole side of the LP version! The most interresting thing about this record though, is that it was recorded in 1984... Think about that when you listen to it!






Last but in no way least is a not very well known, and kindda shot-lived danish grindcore band called Sygdom (Disease in danish). Featuring members from other Copenhagen bands such as Lack, Ripping Headache, All I See and Children of fall, Sygdom gave these guys an outlet for their pure metallic evil tendencies. The lyrics are all in danish and were written and sung by one of the greatest writers the Copenhagen diy hardcore scene has ever seen, namely Thomas from Lack. They never released anything official, but a handfull of us were lucky enough to get our sticky little fingers on a CDR that the drummer Jonas (from Ripping Headache) did at one point. The record contains 11 (12) songs that they recorded in their rehearsalspace.

Sadly this brilliant band is no longer among us, and since there is so few copies of this record out there I figured that I'd better share it with you all, for your listening torment.
