Anal Cunt – 88 Song EP (1989)

Anal Cunt – 88 Song EP (1989)

September 26, 2011

This is the first ever EP by legendary noise fools Anal Cunt. It was originally self-released in 1989 by the band, and then re-released in 1997 by Fudgeworthy Records. The Fudgeworthy version (the version I own) was a 1000 pieces on grey wax. The originally 1989 release was on black, although I am unsure how many were made. The 1st original pressing is extremely collectable. If anything, this was a mere sampler of what was…

Anal Cunt – 5643 Song EP (1989)

Anal Cunt – 5643 Song EP (1989)

What a horrible, horrible record! This is Anal Cunt’s ridiculous 5643 Song EP, self-released by Seth and put out in Europe by TNT & Records and Stridecore Records. This is one of the European pressings, which is identifiable by it’s slightly odd and perplexing rude artwork. According to scarce info available, this release was pressed continuously in 10 different colours, causing insane overlapping effects on some extremely rare copies. One obscenely rare version of a…

Agoraphobic Nosebleed / The Endless Blockade – Split 7″  (2009)

Agoraphobic Nosebleed / The Endless Blockade – Split 7″ (2009)

September 22, 2011

Here we have Agoraphobic Nosebleed’s 2009 split with The Endless Blockade, which was released on a 1000 copy press by Relapse Records. 500 were made on blue, and 500 were made on black. Strangely enough, there doesn’t seem to be the usual 100 clear pressed on this Relapse release (2021 edit: the 100 clear run does exist for this one, like every Relapse release). Agoraphobic Nosebleed’s material sounds like a carry-on in the vein of…

Agoraphobic Nosebleed ‎– A Clockwork Sodom / Tentacles Of Destruction (2007)

Agoraphobic Nosebleed ‎– A Clockwork Sodom / Tentacles Of Destruction (2007)

September 19, 2011

Very interesting EP from Agoraphobic Nosebleed, out on Garden Of Exile in a plethora of different colours. In the first pressing of 800 copies, 350 were made on black, 250 yellow, 150 white and 50 super rare yellow / white “fucked up” versions that were offered as a pre-order. These 50 are hand numbered and fetch up to £40 on Discogs. The entire release was repressed the same year (2007) on a 100 red copies….

Agoraphobic Nosebleed / Kill The Client – Split 7″ (2007)

Agoraphobic Nosebleed / Kill The Client – Split 7″ (2007)

This is a special post for me, as this was my first ever Agoraphobic Nosebleed vinyl, and also one of the first 7″s I ever bought (2021 edit: I also now have a significant portion of this artwork tattooed on my arm). I am talking, of course, of the fucking livid split ANb did with Kill The Client on Relapse back in 2007. This is part of the original pressing of 1000, split into 500…

Agoraphobic Nosebleed / Total Fucking Destruction – Split 7″ (2007)

Agoraphobic Nosebleed / Total Fucking Destruction – Split 7″ (2007)

This here is the brilliant split between Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Total Fucking Destruction; two of modern grind’s finest acts coming together on one short record. It was originally released in 2007 by Bones Brigade Records on a press of 1500 copies, 1300 on blue and 200 rare ones on green. It was repressed in 2009 on another 1000 red copies. Not sure how many people realize this, but the record is actually marbled. You can’t see it…

Agathocles / Jan AG & The Gajna – Split 7″ (2000)

Agathocles / Jan AG & The Gajna – Split 7″ (2000)

My final Agathocles 7″ for the time being! Phew! This here is the cheap Agathocles split with Jan AG & The Gajna, which was not released on any label. Again, there is no pressing info online anywhere, and I am assuming that all copies are black. Considering both bands feature Jan as the frontman, the evidence points to self-release, but something about this tells me it might be a bootleg. Any clarification is welcome! Agathocles…

Agathocles – Gotcha (2004)

Agathocles – Gotcha (2004)

September 18, 2011

This is Agathocles’ short EP called “Gotcha”, which is a collection of tracks that originally appeared on their split CD with Comrades (and Ravage on the Malaysia version, by yet another label) that was released by SOA Records. There isn’t label or pressing info included in the release, or easily available online. It is unclear whether the band re-released these songs on this 7″ themselves, or it was done as a bootleg. Judging by the…

Agathocles / Repulsione – Split 7″ (2008)

Agathocles / Repulsione – Split 7″ (2008)

September 17, 2011

This is Agathocles’ split with Italian fastcore band Repulsione, released in 2008 as a co-release between the excellent Grind Block Records and ¡ZAS! Autoproduzioni. Limited to 500 copies on black wax. Another great Agathocles release, I’m not entirely sure if these songs are originals or not but they are not of the “what appears on 95% of splits” stock. Sound is raw as per usual, but great tunes. Repulsione, who feature members of 2 Minuta Dreka (also the…

Atomçk / Paucities – Split 7″ (2011)

Atomçk / Paucities – Split 7″ (2011)

Atomçk split with Paucities on black wax, release in March 2011 by a whole team of small labels working together, which is really cool. 7 Degrees Records, Selfish Satan Recordings, Killing Art Records, Rauha Turva & Ill Neglect all worked together to put out this release. All copies are black. Atomçk is the strongest band here by a country mile; their modern “nerdy” grind outshines Paucities’ usual noisy mush. That’s not to say that Paucities…

Agathocles – Live And Noisy (1997)

Agathocles – Live And Noisy (1997)

“Live And Noisy” is an Agathocles double 7″ set organised by Bad People Records and Riotous Assembly in 1997. This is the black “repress” version, it is unclear whether the alternate grey version on 500 pieces came before or at the same time as this version. This is one of my favourite Agathocles vinyl, probably because there isn’t an awful noise band hogging the flip side to each record. Sure, the sound is really raw…

Agoraphobic Nosebleed / Crom – Split 7″ (2009)

September 15, 2011

This here is the crazy split between grind monsters Agoraphobic Nosebleed and the slightly ridiculous Crom. The fantastically named cult record label Regurgitated Semen Records is wholly responsible for this abomination of a record. This is one of the 500 copies released on black in 2009, along with 500 on red. Strange fact: in 2010 RSR let loose another 100 copies on black which came with a bonus 5″ that turned out to be “fake”….

Ariel Sharon’s Head In An Industrial Press – Nothing Gets My Dick Harder Than The Screams Of A Dying American (2004)

Ariel Sharon’s Head In An Industrial Press – Nothing Gets My Dick Harder Than The Screams Of A Dying American (2004)

September 12, 2011

This shitstorm of a noise/grind record was released in 2004 by Noise Annihilation Records, a sublabel of the parent label Festering Deathfuck Decomposition. All copies are red. I do not know how many were made. This is worth having for the song titles and band name alone. On the back of the sleeve it says “ASHIAIP play lofi as fuck hizbulla blastgrind”, and I don’t think I could have put it better myself. If you’re not into…

Anal Penetration / Gronibard – Split 7″ (2009)

Anal Penetration / Gronibard – Split 7″ (2009)

Another absolutely awesome release from Bones Brigade Records, pairing the craziness of France’s Gronibard and perverse, head-rattled drum machine tunes of Anal Penetration. Pressed in 2009 on a run of 500, with 300 on black and 200 on transparent green. Anal Penetration bring their usual watery, boxy porngrind to the mix, while on the other side of the disc Gronibard take the opportunity to crucify Anal Penetration at every given moment, with song titles such…

A Den Of Robbers / From The Ashes – Split 7″ (2008)

September 9, 2011

Released in 2008 on 500 copies of black vinyl by I Hate Humanity Records, Netherlands. I imagine that I picked this up in some trade or something. In fact, I explicitly remember having a few of them knocking about. I think they are all gone, but I kept one for my personal stash of vinyl.

Agathocles / VRV – Split 7″ (2009)

Agathocles / VRV – Split 7″ (2009)

Released in June 2009 on Bringer Of Gore Records in Belgium. Limited edition of 335 on black. Agathocles side is more re-recordings of classic tracks, but the recordings are great. VRV side is pointless noisecore, which is actually a bit grating on my patience (which is a shame as VRV is really cool). As with most split 7″s featuring Agathocles, this is most definitely a completist’s item only.

Agathocles / Morbid Organs Mutilation – Split 7″ (1991)

September 8, 2011

Released in 1992 on Rodel Records in Germany, although a different original version was released in Japan a year earlier by Fight Men Records (RIP), making this 7″ a reissue. I do not know any exact pressing information, other than the entire run was pressed on black wax. Agathocles spew up a few live recordings, which are surprisingly really good. Morbid Organs Mutilation are pretty cool too. A lot of sources credit M.O.M’s tracks as…

Agathocles / Embalming Theatre – Split 7″ (2000)

September 5, 2011

Agathocles split with Embalming Theatre, released in 2000 by the now seemingly defunct Paranoia Syndrome label. Pressing limited to 1000 copies on clear/red splatter. I have number 649. Another favourite of mine, with two masters of the 7″ split meeting on one piece of vinyl. Everything by Embalming Theatre is just great (don’t know why, it’s just something about them that makes them very listenable for me) and it’s an amazing that Agathocles seem to…

Agathocles / Kadaverficker – Split 7″ (2004)

Agathocles / Kadaverficker – Split 7″ (2004)

One of Agathocles’ many split 7″s, this time on black wax with Kadaverficker. Released as a joint venture between Power It Up and NCU Records. This is far from Agathocles’ best, but nowhere near their worst, repetitive, churned over material. Kadaverficker aren’t too bad, either. Definitely a completist’s item (if your daft enough to try and collect every Agathocles 7″ in the world!).

Agathocles – Agarchy (1991)

Agathocles – Agarchy (1991)

One of Agathocles’ first ever 7″ EPs, released on Flabby Records (RIP) back in 1991. All pressings are on black vinyl, although the artwork varies from shades of white to shades of green and red. I believe that there are equal numbers of each colour out there (there is no evidence to suggest otherwise). This is probably my favourite Agathocles release; it really shows a different sound to the political based noise approach that we…

Slimewave #2 – Cripple Bastards / Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition – Split 7″ (2006)

Slimewave #2 – Cripple Bastards / Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition – Split 7″ (2006)

September 1, 2011

This is Slimewave issue #2, featuring Cripple Bastards and Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition. As always with Relapse’s Slimewave Series, it’s strictly limited to 1000 pieces. This is number 379 of 900 on white/blue splatter; the other 100 being the usual clear pressing that Relapse always does. Cripple Bastards’ side isn’t entirely different from a lot of their later stuff, but that in no way implies that it isn’t any good; it’s relentless blasting grind at it’s…
