IRONSIDE "Ecstatic Ritual" / Straightedge Metalcore Champs from 1995
IRONSIDE!! Excellent '90s straightedge metalcore when it was just getting big! 1995. I remember getting one of their early 7" records from Very distribution. John Dudeck ran Very, and I ordered at least $75 in music & merch every payday--every two weeks! I loved Very distro, and I fucking LOVED that IRONSIDE 7" (I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it)!!
I think about Very & John, and wonder whatever became of him? I've searched around and asked around and no one knows about him. I DID hear that he died about ten years ago, via Mike CTW. But I think Mike just heard that from someone else and it was unfounded. I sure hope he didn't die!! That's way too young!
LIAR, CONGRESS, and all those H8000 straightedge metalcore bands of the '90s were so heavy and so powerful!! Most of it doesn't hold up over time, meaning it just doesn't sound as heavy, groundbreaking and intimidating as it did 25 years ago. There was nothing like being a '90s hardcore kid. Nothing!

Psychedelic Sounds are Surreal...
Thirty seconds into this, and now it's forty seconds. Twenty more seconds and it'll be a minute. Yep, I was right: I just looked at the video and it WAS a minute. That's all in the past. Now I'll focus on the present. But when I go to make a presentation on the present, it becomes the past. Maybe making a "pastation" is more apropos than a "presentation." I don't know how to spell new words, and neither does my spell-check. One thing I do know, and that is I am four minutes into this music, yet I don't feel four minutes older. Have I found the Fountain of Youth?

Eastern Orthodox Monastery-- "The Good Struggle" Documentary
This is just awesome! I was mesmerized through the entire documentary! These Eastern Orthodox monks live in a very secluded monastery in Lebanon. Their monastery is built into the side of a mountain, at an altitude of 450 meters (1,350 feet). They spend the entire day at work and in prayer. Did you hear what he said? it takes a man in very good shape about a half an hour to walk up the stairs/path to the monastery proper! That's incredible!

FURY "Failed Entertainment"
FURY's second full-length album "Failed Entertainment" was released on May 3, 2019. I've listened to it once & am going through it a second time to absorb it properly. I like it. It's good. It's hasn't grabbed me nearly as strongly as their first album, "Paramount" did. That's why I've got to absorb it & get familiar with it some more. In my mind, FURY can't top "Paramount"! That album was fresh & different. Though I do have a good feeling about this really taking root and growing on me and the hardcorepunk scene at large.

⚒️JUST ICE 2017 Demo Cassette⚒️
I'm digging this! The first song starts off with a weird/eerie, but cool, sample of a woman singing then sets off into tough hardcore that sounds a lot like TRAPPED UNDER ICE, with a different type of gruff vocals. Lots of melodic/singing back up vocals on every song.
Good stuff!!
Good stuff!!

RIP Brandon Ferrell (April 28, 1984-May 31, 2016) Drummer of MUNICIPAL WASTE & Other Bands --
From the truepunkmetal blog, run by the guy from MONSTER X/DAS OATH, and posted two years ago. Old news, but I always like to re-post reports of fellow hardcorepunk kids who pass away --always too early.
I didn't know you, but we share a love for punk & hardcore music. So rest in peace and God bless your soul and your family.

The "Atacama" Humanoid Creature--
This being is not human, says many people a lot smarter than me. It's got a substantial amount of unexplained DNA. This little Extraterrestrial Humanoid is kinda cute. I'd like to see a scientists rendering of what it probably looked like with "skin."

Mount Athos Documentary--
This is a smaller production documentary than the CBS "60 Minutes" one done several years back. Of course CBS has more money at their disposal. In many ways this documentary is mysterious and beautiful! I have been fascinated with Mount Athos, Greece for ten years now, ever since I read Basil Pennington's, "The Monks of Mount Athos" book. Since then I've read a dozen books on the Holy Mountain and watched countless videos as well. Check this out, stay calm, and pray, "Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner." Amen.

BORN WITHOUT A FACE Demo from 1985--
This is great, and new to me! I've never heard this before, but I did have the one great 7" they officially put out in the mid 1980's. BORN WITHOUT A FACE were an excellent early hardcore band from the Detroit, Michigan area. Though I'm not certain about that, as they just might be from the West side of the state, maybe Grand Rapids. That's the slight memory recall I'm getting. Of course I could just search around the interwebs a little, but that makes things too easy and makes you lazy. The first song on here is just rippin! I first heard it on the local college radio station, WCBN 88.3, on the hardcore music show, "All Out Attack" hosted by our friend and mentor, Bill Bored!! Fun, drunken Friday nights with friends recording the radio show while we heard all kinds of new hardcore music! Yep, that's the main way we discovered new punk music, via college radio. You had to actively seek out this type of music. I miss those days a lot...

CURRENT Discography CD--
CURRENT from Detroit, Michigan. One of the greatest emotional hardcore bands of all time! The singer, Matt, also ran council records, played in a bunch of other punk bands, most notably my favorite, CALVARY.
This here is a crucial band, you should definitely listen to the link, and look for the physical CD, however hard it might be.

KNUCKLEDUST "Songs of Sacrifice" Full Length--
This is a couple of years old at this point, but still very new to me. I saw another post on YT from El Guapo TV, of an INDECISION/KNUCKLEDUST split 12"/CD. That was pretty sweet so I found this record and I'm really diggin' it! Direct from London, England, hard as nails hardcore laced with metal and plenty of mosh parts to go around!! The vocal delivery sounds like a cross between FIRST BLOOD & BLOOD FOR BLOOD!! Nothing particularly ground breaking here, it's just tough, heavy-ass hardcore done the way it's supposed to be done... Check it out! ♠️♠️♠️

GUILT TRIP "Unrelenting Force" EP from the UK--
Great release here from this British band, GUILT TRIP! They've got that 80s thrash sound going on, much like POWER TRIP from Texas. Another good band. Wonder what kind of trip would happen if these two bands met up?!? LOL!
https://youtu.be/y2KaH2Rui28
KEEP THEM SHUT "Stray Rats" EP from Germany--
I'm digging this! New band doing something a bit different in the hardcore realm. The opening song is an instrumental that sounds rad! Vocals kick in in the second song, and are gonna take a bit of getting used to. But as I said, I'm digging this. Cool band name too.

CLIKITAT IKATOWI full length from 1995--
This was released on Gravity Records in 1995. The drummer, Mario R., went on to play with Dan O. (NO FOR AN ANSWER, SPEAK 714 & CARRY NATION) in 411 and then more recently, OFF! (with Keith Morris of the CIRCLE JERKS & BLACK FLAG).
The drums stand out the most on this record, and that's because Mario Rublaca is a bad ass drummer. Someone said he was in HOT SNAKES, with guys from ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT, is that true???
