4 New Releases OUT NOW & More Awesome News


Things have gone slow over the summer here at BTR, but finally i pulled myself together to make an update to this very site. Summer has been busy for me with some new releases and a lot of concerts that i attented with my distro to sell stuff and meet great people. You can look at pictures of most gigs i've been in the last months on the BTR Facebook page.

Some of these "new" releases have been here with me for quite a while now, so some are newer than the others:


BT 018 Over the Top - Fleisch Pic 7" EP lim. 200
Transparent plastic sleeve printed with the lyrics and infos. 200 Picture Vinyl Discs.

OTT return where they left off on the split 7" with Terlarang musically, but tried to base the whole new EP on a concept of the long overdue, and in it's importance inevitable, examination of Punks like you and me with the matter of eating meat. Naturally, this happens in OTT's own trashy and hilarious way!





BT 024 Human Junk / God's America Split 7" EP lim. 500 
Pro printed, full coloured, 2 sided Sleeve with front/back cover and all lyrics & infos inside. 400 Black Vinyl and 100 Green Vinyl with b/w printed Labels. Co-Release with Tombs In The Valley Productions, Keep Screaming Records and more.

Human Junk from the UK show 100% Hellnation worship through their mindblowing Powerviolence / Fastcore on their vinyl debut. Insane portions of feedback and no song with playtime over 45 seconds make this on hell of ride. God's America from the US have a equally distorted basis in their sound, but approach the listener with more of an Grindcore related attempt of Powerviolence.






BT 025 Moms On Meth - s/t 7" EP lim. 500
Pro printed, full coloured, 1 sided Sleeve with front/back cover and one sided b/w insert with all lyrics & infos. 500 Black Vinyl with b/w printed Labels. Co-Release with Offside Records, Middle Class Zombies Attack and Up To Eleven Records.

Most awesome Powerviolence / Hardcore band with female vocals from Lyon, France with their 7" debut, that feature members of other class acts as Veuve S.S. and more. They are some of the loveliest people i ever had the pleasure to meet in the HC/Punk scene, just destroyed most of Europe on their highly successful tour this summer, and are widely regarded as one of the few truly outstanding Euro gems of the last years.







BT 033 Kain - One Sided 12" LP lim. 500
Pro printed cardboard Sleeve. 500 on black Vinyl with b/w printed Labels and white screenprint on the blank side. Co-release with the band, THC & DIY Records and Shitpiece Records.

Once again a band from Linz that is set out to make waves on the international scene! Kain play brilliant Neo-Crust/Crust that is a bit blackened on occasion. What sets them appart from most other bands in that particular genre is how epic they shape their songs to feel, the (unholy) trinity of vocals with three band members sharing vocal duties, their point blank usage of sound samples and more. This beautifully screen printed one sided 12" will grow on you every time you listen too it, rewarding you with a standout audial adventure. Way too underrated band that features ex-members of Back Then.







  • Also got lot's of new distro items coming in right now, or already lying around at the HQ, so another update with a up to date distro list will follow over the next days!

  • In other news from the postal front: Post.at lowered their price a lot on Maxi Letters within Europe. Can send everything except 10" & 12" (they are too wide) up to 2kg within Europe for 9eur now. You can order any number of 7"es, Tapes, Zines, Merch, etc that weighs up to said kilograms from the distro and you will only have to pay 9eur postage. Great deal huh?

  • ATCN #1 is down to the last 10 or so copies. Get yours soon! Second issue is fully written and is waiting for layouting right now. I don't except a release of it within this year, but i hope to have it done and printed in january like the first issue.

  • BTR Shirt 001 & 002 are also down to the last few. Got the black shirt left in XL and the white shirt in XL and 2XL. Two new shirts are in the line right now that will be part of a new series of shirts dubbed "I Love Vinyl". More news on the new shirts soon & also a option to pre-order your prefered size, since i'll mostly take M and L with the next run of merch.

As it is burning hot in Austria right now and probably everywhere else too, official Black Trash Records T-Shirts are OUT NOW! Be quick and catch one of these unique designs by my partner in crime, one Michael Winiecki. Mike did both artworks and helped me financing these bad boys and you can support his works on his page under: http://lunchboxarts.blogspot.co.at/

Be the hippest cat on the beach/pool/lake this summer with this all new collection of über-en vogue coture! PUNK IS FASHION hombre.

Expose one is a Dead Kennedys inspired piece of Star Wars fandom, that comes with white print on heavy black Gildan cotton.




Expose two was inspired by living your live as a Slacker and Batman, and comes with black print on heavy white Gildan cotton.




(Shirts pics by Michael "Mike" Winiecki)

Both shirts have underwent intense testing by the crew in 35 degree plus hot rooms, concerts & bars, which they both passed with the highest possible points, surley due to their high end quality production by the fabulous Ayuhara Prints from Germany.

This batch is limited to only 30 pieces (15 per design) and shirts are 9eur each. There are already very few left! Size M and XXL are sold out of both colours and just a small quantity of L and XL are left - so better act fast dude!

Four new releases arrived at the BTR HQ during the last 3 weeks, begging to be put up on the site all the while. Had no time to deal with it up to now, as i had stress at the university because of the semester's end and the obligatory enjoyment of a week full of doing nothing afterwards. Let's kick off the summer season with these fine new additions to the BTR library:


BT 023 Terlarang / Jagernaut Split 7" lim. 555

Pro printed, full coloured, 2 sided Sleeve with front/back cover and all lyrics & infos inside. 331 Black Vinyl, 114 Green Vinyl, 110 White Vinyl with silver printed Labels. Co-Release with Suburban White Trash Records, Tenzenmen and Screaming Victims.

Terlarang offer a refined version of the Trashcore/-Punk'n'Grind mix they debuted on their last 7" with OTT. These new songs show a lot of progress within the band through smart & rocking song structures, way better recording quality and a very unique sound to all of it - killer!

Jagernaut From Greece play a neat sort of Crust/Grind, more Crust on the musical side and rather Grind with the vocals, pretty awesome combination!


Joel of SWT Records pressed these fined pieces in the US and they look, sound and even smell nice! The cover artwork from both bands is also fantastic and i genuinely love the record in it's final shape.
Got the 7" in all thre differnt colours in about the same quanitty, so i can offer coloured vinyls for mailorder & trade!

You can listen to tracks from the split on these sites:

http://soundcloud.com/terlarang/terlarang-betrayed-liar

http://jagernaut.bandcamp.com/





BT 026 Kroveled - s/t 7" lim. 275

Pro printed, full coloured, 2 sided Sleeve with front/back cover, additional art & label infos inside. All on Black Vinyl with b/w printed Labels. Co-Release with No Bread and four other DIY labels.

Kroveled embody what music in 2012 is supposed to be like, something new & different, not the hundreth rehash of a band that was hip 20+ years ago! This music is both full of despair and unfiltered emotion, probably the absolute fusion between Noise Punk/Sludge/Raw Black Metal. From the depths of Russia, dedicated to H.P. Lovecraft.

Comes with a oversized pro printed cover sleeve with disturbingly eye catching artwork that leaves you with no idea of it's real intent, regardless of how long you have been staring at it already! The David Lynch between 7" artworks.

Preview: http://kroveled.bandcamp.com/






BT 027 BLANK - Calix 12" lim. 300

Screen printed coloured cardboard Sleeve with pro printed, 2 sided, Poster-Insert containing all Lyrics & Infos. All on White Vinyl with b/w printed Labels. Co-release with Fucking Kill Records.

Dark Hardcore / Crust from Germany that is powerful, deep, diverse and catchy. BLANK walk a thin line between blackened & dark HC and Crust that may/might resembles most characteristics of typical Crust bands, but never looses the HC drive and intensity behind it. The epic music on this 12" can only be topped by it's luxorious appearence and packaging! "Well what it is saying?", "It says nothing... it's BLANK!"

Listen to the 12" on Bandcamp: http://blankhc.bandcamp.com/






BT 028 ((prmtv-ccmltn)) - 8 Track Demo (European Version) Tape lim. 100

Full coloured, 2 sided, pro printed covers. 50 Black, 25 White and 25 Smokey Clear pro tapes with stickers in black cases limited to 100 copies. EU Edition features the same tracks as the initial press, but comes with all new Artwork.

((prmtv-ccmltn)), or Primitive Accumulation (from Halifax, Canada), redefine the Noise in Punk game with their 8 Track Demo by bringing a new perspective to the noise table. Rather than playing hyper distorted 1-2, 1-2 minimal Punk, PA play a haunted version of fuzzed out Hardcore/Powerviolence, that is darkened by hints of Black Metal. This is not a mere punk record on audio tape, it is a one of a kind audial experience!

MRR wrote in #345: "Think hardcore violence that reminds you of the voices you hear when you've stayed up for too many days. It's violent in the way SCAPEGOAT makes you want to rip people's flesh off when you see them live. One has visceral reaction listening to this tape and i'd kill to see this live. This is a mix between nosie and hardcore punk ultra violence muffled vocals, loops, and perfectly poor recording quality. This demo sounds haunted- get this, i dare you."





__________________________________________________________________________

Apart from all the new releases, sending after sending from befriended labels & distros arrived at the HQ, also waiting to be unleashed upon you dear readers of this blog! Got a whole selection this time from all over the world: from the ever great Kink Records, over the local friends over at Scumusick, my Malaysia bro's of Fastdie Records & Kandar Mosh Distro, right to Destroy It Yourself (DIY) from Portugal.


Recommondation goes out from myself to buy the burn/it/out demo! Really great new HC stuff from Germany in beautiful hand crafted DIY carton sleeve (Kink Records is notorious for producing such lovely packaging), with incredible artwork on it + insert with lyrics and some more art + a sticker with the cover art. So well worth buying alone for it's content, not even speaking of the awesome tunes, which sound & feel way better than the term "demo" would indicate them to be!

News / Concert / Diströ

Just got a copy of the Moms On Meth 7" test press in and it sounds & looks killer! The whole pressing got delivered to Alex (Offside Records) place these days and i hope to have my copies soon.

The EP will feature seven brand new tracks of MOM's unique approach of playing smashing Powerviolence with angry, yet still beautiful, female vocals that will blow your minds! Definatly one of the highlight in all the stuff to come out of France in recent history.

The 7" is a co-release between Offside Records, Middle Class Zombie Attack", Up2 Eleven and BTR.



Check some pics and samples on the MOM site: http://mamansdecristal.tumblr.com/


Following the release of their debut 7", MOM are going to tour Europe in July (check the tour dates on their site) and will make stop in Austria to play a gig in the much loved Mukuku in Kremsmünster. MOM will play with Among Rats (Death Metal/Grind) & Matando Güeros (Straight Edge Powerviolence), both from Austria. The gig will take place on the 12th of July and i'll be there with the distro.

Rvsp on Facebook under: https://www.facebook.com/events/249268618507437/




Speaking of the Mukuku in Kremsmünster. Been there along with the distro on saturday to witness another breath taking performance by the best HC/Punk band of Austria and BTR's own - Back Then. They played together with Nuclear Havoc and Zombiefied which were both cool. Pics of the gig are up on the BTR Facebook Page and there are also ones on the Mukuku Page. Mike flimed parts of the Back Then performance and put up a live vid on the Junk X flims Youtube Chanel (below).









Also ordered the covers & tapes for the European Press of the ((prmtv-ccmltn)) aka Primitive Accumulation - 8 Track Demo Tape today. The Euro Edition will come with a brand new different cover art/design, printed on heavy 170g paper with pro print on both sides, and on pro tapes (50 black, 25 smoky clear, 25 white) with logo stickers on them. Hoping to have everything together for this awesome release within two weeks!

Can't do nothing but underline the review in MRR! ((prmtv-ccmltn)) are just such a beast of ultra noisy Hardcore, this is more than mere music on audio tape, it's a one of a kind acoustic experience.




Also some updates to the distro section:

Three letters/parcels got delivered to the HQ these days from the labels of three good friends of mine. First i got the 2nd edition of the Seitan Terror - Up the fucking Noisecore-Punx Tape and Sakatat / Matka Teresa Split 7" in from THC & DIY Records. Second is the Split Tape between Diseksa / Terlarang from Fastdie Records. Third and most recent, the latest release of Tombs in the Valley Productions in form of the Manic Scum - Better Left Undead Tape.

Seitan Terror - Up the fucking Noisecore-Punx Tape (2nd Edition) lim. 25
Sakatat / Matka Teresa Split 7" lim. 1000

BT 020 "No More Borders" 4 Way Split 7" OUT NOW + Distro Incoming + News

BT 020 "No More Borders" 4 Way Split 7" lim. 500 


Pro printed coloured cardboard Sleeve with pro printed Insert containing all lyrics. Black Vinyl with b/w printed Labels. Co-release with various DIY Labels.


4 Way Split 7" between Raw Power, Naked Aggression, MDC and Söm-Hi Nöise under the moto of "No More Borders". Various styles from four very different bands! The groups range from Acoustic-Punk from MDC to fast Powerviolence/HC from Söm-Hi Nöise.


Check the whole 7" out at: http://som-hinoise.bandcamp.com/album/7-4-way-split-no-more-borders






Before i come to the distro arrivals, i'll be selling of some of my junk on the weekend in the Mukuku in Kremsmünster. They put up a awesome looking concert with BTR homies Back Then and two more bands from the region. Come, buy stuff from my distro stand, support a kick ass location and celebrate great Austro-Bands!!!!!!!!!!!


Here's the Mukuku site for the gig: http://www.mukuku.at/?page_id=284&event_id=261



Here are the newest additions to the distro list:

Once more a parcel full of goodness from Spastic Fantastic Records arrived at the HQ, and once again, the label sets the bar higher for all other Euro labels with it's killer releases! The split 7" between Nihil Baxter / Henry Fonda is at the same time a split between two houshold names on the label, since both bands put out some of their very early works on SFR. Snob Value hits another homerun with this new LP, as do Sidetracked with their's. Another gem is the Die Eule im Bart des Judas debut 7", which is like a little brother of Napoleon Dynamite with more weirdness and spiced with synthesizers. Also re-stocked the neat-o Trash Up My Ass compi tape and some copies of France's most brilliant garage band The Irritones. "Penis romantique" is packed with hit worthy smashers as Computerstaat and White Wires and rule throughout the whole tape LP. My penis wants to make romantique to this tape so bad! All of these new releases from SFR/Yakuzzi get a MUST HAVE rating from moi.





Next up are two wonderful records from my British partners in crime: Tomby in the Valley Productions. If you are into Powerviolence/Fastcore/Grind stuff, there's no going around these lads! The split tape between Hoy Pinoy & Set Aside For Genocide (best bandname ever huh?) is genious - rabid crazy core vs. fast pw/grind at it's finest. In the same leagues play Grace & Tide of Iron, who share a well done split 7" here. ToI are exceptionally good and one of the best things to come out of the UK. The UK scene seems on fire with awesome groups like Tide of Iron, Human Junk, Sump and The Afternoon Gents pushing out classic after classic.



Last are some 12" + 7"es from Refuse Records, operating out of Berlin/Germany and Warsaw/Poland. They   mainly do Straight Edge stuff but put out all sorts of cool HC bands too. Haven't had the chance to listen into the stuff but everything sounded nice on paper.




Some, or some more news:

* ATCN#2 is about to go into layouting. Last copies of #1 are still available from me.

* Over The Top guys got the test presses for the Fleisch Pic 7" and hope that it will be out within the month. Pictures of it look fantastic and are up on both the OTT and BTR Facebook page.

* Black Trash Records shirts are in the making very soonish!!

* The test presses of the Moms On Meth 7" (co-release) arrived at Alex "Offside Records" place lately. Records should go to press really soon therefore. Prepare yourself for one of the kewl'est bands ever to come out of France. Insane Powerviolence with female vocals - fucking A.

* Got the artwork & layout's & master for the two new Brody's Militia tapes, so work on these will start within june probably, as i want to have these out during the summer. Will do something nice for ya'll collectors out there with both tapes!

* Lotus Fucker disco tape is nearly sold out right now. Will do a 2nd edition soon with yet another awesome packaging, only limited to 50 pieces. Going to be on coloured cassettes with stickers, same pro covers as first press and the already mentioned special packaging for all 50 of them.

* Will co-release the new 12" of BLANK from Germany who play mind blowing dark HC/Crust. The band sent the order of 300 vinyls to press and Fucking Kill Records and myself are helping out co-releasing/funding the LP.

Get your fix here: http://blankhc.bandcamp.com/releases

* Will also co-release the debut 7" of insanely good Russian band Kroveled. No Bread! Records are handling the pressing of 275 copies on black vinyl for this one. More news as they come.

Check out Kroveled on bandcamp: http://kroveled.bandcamp.com/

* That's it for now, gotta return to watch the Over The Limit PPV from yesterday and play some Diablo3!!!

BT 017 Aggrenation / Homo Homini Lupus Split 12" LP is OUT NOW + Distro Stuff

BT 017 Aggrenation / Homo Homini Lupus Split 12" LP lim. 500

Pro printed coloured cardboard Sleeve with pro printed thick Insert containing all Lyrics & Infos. 400 on black Vinyl & 100 on black & red marmorized Vinyl with printed Labels. Co-release with a bunch of DIY Labels.

Fresh, raw and intense textbook Sweden D-Beat from Aggrenation versus a unique blend of Hardcore / Grindcore with different sorts of Metal from Homo Homini Lupus out of Croatia. Both Bands show that their respective genres still offer room for new, different & unique bands to manifest against the hordes of generic bands of our time - killer!





The 12"es pressing was handled by Chris of Fucking Kill Records and turned out great! Vinyl's sounding great and the whole packaging is done very professional. Only have copies on black vinyl for sale / trade!




Distro Updates:

Got some sweet stuff in from Fucking Kill Records along with the Aggrenation / HHH Split. New to the distro is the previous Split 12" of Aggrenation with Nulla Osta, the fabulous looking Wojczech / Black Hole Of Calcutta Split 7", the 1996 classic Split 7" of Corrosive and Bohrholm (comes in neat-o diy cardboard packaging) and also the debut of Love Chanel with their s/t 7". All four are neat outputs and therefore also parts of my personal collection!

Nulla Osta / Aggrenation Split 12" lim. 500 - Fucking Kill Records
Corrosive / Bohrholm Split 7" - Fucking Kill Records
Wojczech / Black Hole Of Calcutta Split 7" lim. 500 - Fucking Kill Records
Love Channel - s/t 7" lim. 525 - Fucking Kill Records



A new gem from my homeland Austria flew in from Scumusick during the last weeks. Kastrat (translated Eunuch) kick asses with a mix of Hardcore / Crust, out of Vienna, sung in German with male & female vocals. The 7" comes with hilarious artwork, lyric sheet, obi and a A4 poster! Sadly the band already disbanded again it seems..

 Kastrat - s/t 7" lim. 300 - Scumusick


The highlight of this distro update is probably the incomings from SPHC, which are the Merciless Game 8" (sideproject of Lotus Fucker), the new Split 7" of Grinders Sete Star Sept with the Noise-Lords of Penis Geyser and the new single of Kentucky's one man punk sensation Globsters. Only have one-two doubles of all these must haves!

Sete Star Sept / Penis Geyser Split 7" - SPHC
Merciless Game – Genjitsu Wo Kutabare 8" - SPHC
Globsters - Rock and Roll Misery 7" - SPHC


On the tape front, i got a huge update with awesome releases from Encinta Grabaciones out of Madrid, Spain. What you see is the Demo of Cromanon (Noise/Grind/Punk), tapes of Represion (Straight Edge HxC) & Venganza (Angry HC/Punk) and the split tape between Ras (Grind) and Disturbance Project (Grind). All these tapes are professional done and i can recommend them to you without any hesitation. Better don't miss your chance to get your hands on some nice UG stuff from Spain that isn't that common in most Distros.

Cromanon - Demo Tape - Encinta Grabaciones
Represion - s/t Tape - Encinta Grabaciones
Venganza - s/t Tape - Encinta Grabaciones
