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!

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!

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.

BT 019 Back Then - Zeitverschwendung 7" EP is OUT NOW

BT 019 Back Then - Zeitverschwendung 7" EP lim. 300

Pro printed, full coloured, 2 sided Sleeve with front cover and all lyrics & infos & photos inside. 200 Black Vinyl, 50 White Vinyl, 50 White Smeared Vinyl with white hand stamped Labels. Co-Release with THC & DIY Records, Shitpiece Records & Epileptic Media Records.

This very first studio EP of Linz'es finest HC band Back Then should be considered gamechanging. These four tracks are as epic as epic can get! The release of their vinyl debut, entitled "Zeitverschwendung", bears such magnitude for the HC/Punk scene of Austria, it's breath-taking. This 7" will go down in history as the undisputed masterpiece of AUT HC/Punk of the decade. 4020/HC

These fine singles been pressed by the fabulous Ameise Vinyl from Germany in a first run of 300 copies. 200 are on black vinyl, while the remaining hundred are 50 on white vinyl and 50 on smeared white vinyl. The sound is amazing and rich, must say that i'm very pleased with the overall result! The Covers are pro printed sleeves on deluxe 250g paper with 4/4 print from print24. Kept the labels blank white, in order to have them hand stamped on both sides by Mike and myself.

I'm even more proud about this release because of the fact that it was possible to fund the press entirely through a collaboration of 4 befriended Austrian DIY Labels. Teamed up for the 7" with the great dudes of THC & DIY Records, Shitpiece Records and Epileptic Media Records.

You can stream the entire 7" already on the Back Then Blog!!!!

Pics of the 7" making of are up on the BTR Facebook Page!

News & larger Distro Update

The Back Then 7"es are done and have been sent from the pressing plant to the BTR HQ on tuesday. They are supposed to arrive on friday! These will be out sometime during the weekend and you can pre-listen to the entire single on the Back Then Bandcamp page. Covers are already here, take a look!

I'm very happy to announce that i'll be doing a EU Version of ((prmtv-ccmltn))'s 8 Track Demo Tape called "Drive For Return To Inorganic Matter". You thought that you heard everything in noisy raw'n'distorted punk? Uh-uh sir, you've been terribly wrong! Primitive Accumulation will take you to a level of rawness that you have never dared to dream about - period! The BTR version will have a revised cover artwork and will come on coloured pro tapes with stickers.

Here are some words from the great RABM Blog about the tape:

"Primitive Accumulation, or ((prmtv-ccmltn)), are a band from Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada, whose first demo cassette "Drive for Return to Inorganic Matter" came out in December of 2011. Musically they're influenced by raw black metal, power violence/fastcore, noise and "other weird shit we can get our hands on" (c); politically - by the ideas of Marx, Marcuse, Negri, Deleuze, Guattari and the New Left in general. The demo consists of 8 short tracks, but it's mixed in one long track here. I'd recommend it to fans of very raw, primitive USBM, and noisecore."

Coming to the distro: got a lot of stuff floating around here for a while, but i've been to busy to make a proper distro update till now. Got the great Life Ends / Slump 12" in, which sadly is the very last release of Life Ends because they suffered the terrible loss of their singer Daniel at the end of january. The Split 12" was supposed to be published for a planned Life Ends & Slump tour in 2012, but due to the sudden passing, the vinyl was made in memory of Daniel Blage. Been released by Kink, Fucking Kill, Vulgar and Useless Records.

Also got some other stuff in from Vulgar Records in form of the hilarious Doktor Bitch / Schnauzer 7" and the new edition of Sille's own fanzine called "Schreikrampf", celebrating the 15 year anniversary of Schreikrampf & Vulgar Records. This special issue of Schreikrampf comes with a super cool compilation 7" that features bands like Brody's Militia, Agathocles or Corrosive and is housed in a printed A4+ letter. Be warned: the zine is entirely in German, but the compilation alone is worth the price!

Next we have some goodies from Shitpiece Records, a very kewl fellow Austrian who is also co-releasing the Back Then 7" with me. Got the fabulous Coup D'Etat 12" (already sold out), the first LP from Austria's Boredom (who previously put out a split 12" with Rivers Run Dry) and the Perspectives 7" from Empty Handed (two different versions of genious looking, marbled colour vinyls).

And last but not least, three smashing tape releases you shouldn't miss out! The great Drunk with Power, operated by Nikita from Russia, again suprise with two awesome new releases. This time it's the demo of Russian HC/Punkers Minefield and a new tape from Unbroken Bones, who indeed play awesome Broken Bones'esque MetalPunk. RF/HC (Russian Federation Hardcore) rules! Also don't miss your chance to lay your fingers upon a copy of the great "The future doesn't need you" tape of Gripe. This Powerviolence / Grindcore band is on a roll right now and will have a lot more good stuff be coming out soon!
