Porphyria - Live In Leominster, MA 9/4/2004

Here is a local death metal band from our area, New Hampshire. This band killed it back when they were still together, fast, technical, and catchy. They had a big following and were getting out there around the country. Sadly they are no more, or at least very lowly active. Check this if you like Suffocation, Morbid Angel, or Death. This is old school death metal fans paying homage with their own twist.

I got this demo from their guitar player at the brick house in Dover, NH around 2005. Good sound for a live death metal show, and the dude was one of the nicest people I ever chatted with. Cheers!

The Nightmare Continues - Demo

Alright so I have no idea when this is from other than around the early 00's. I also don't know which show I got it from, all I know is that it's pretty good for a New England grind band, and that they broke up which is always a shame. Especially when a decent grind band is involved. Check this out if you like Discordance Axis, A.S.R.A, or Insect Warefare. Thanks to RTTP.com for the picture because I can't upload the picture of the demo that I have, due to a lack of a scanner! ENJOY!

Misery - Next Time//Who's The Fool

This is crust at its finest, Misery from Minneapolis, MN have a collection of their early material here. This is some of their best stuff, but I say that because I hated the later stuff. Straightforward punks playing metal, the way it ought to be, heavy as fuck and catchy as shit.

The Dillinger Escape Plan (Ft. Mike Patton) - Irony Is A Dead Scene (2002)

This is a little off the beaten path for myself, but my love for mike patton leads me into some strange music sometimes. This record was made after the DEP's original singer left as a side project of the band. I believe they even did a small tour with patton after this was released. This record is short but sweet, all the songs are fantastic. The last song is a cover of Aphex Twin 'come to daddy', now if you have heard aphex twin you would wonder how this is possible? The fact that the band and patton perform the song flawlessly should speak volumes about this record. Hate it if you want, this is one of my personal all time favorite ep's.

Immortal - Diabolical Full Moon Mysticism (1992)

This album is from the infamous second wave of black metal hailing from Norway. Immortal was a fantastic raw stripped down black metal band when they began slowly transforming into bullshit arena black metal rock which they now put out. This album and Pure Holocaust are my two favorite immortal albums, and yes this is the album where the video of the corpse painted which hat wearing member runs around the woods and poses with swords but don't let that discourage you! The hideous and repetitive new wave of hipster and punk black metal would be no where without the wonderful second wave of black metal. I will be uploading a select few of my favorites over the next few months.

Now to the album itself. This is the fusion of thrash and black metal that defined the genre, my personal favorite type. I personally try to avoid the bands consisting of consistent blasting and tremolo picking. The drums are a bit sloppy, but if you like punk you know that can add to an album. This is a great winter listening album get nice and cold, turn the heat off, get a buzz on and some satanic rituals!!!

Carcinogen - Demo (1992)

As promised here is the Carcinogen demo. This is Dystopia before they were Dystopia, so I hope you enjoyed that post. This is the foundation on which Dystopia built their unique sound, but differs in the fact that it leans more towards punk influenced death metal. This is awesome I mean really awesome, perfect crossover between punk and heavy metal for sure and done in a much different way than you are thinking when reading crossover, no element of DRI exists in this recording. The sound could be a little better and I am embarssed that it is not my own copy of the material, but I feel as though if anyone did appreciate the Dystopia post this will be appreciated just as much. Anyway get your pile of drugs that you bought with your christmas money and the six pack your friend left because he had to get away from his parents right after he//she opened their gifts sit back and listen to some tunes!

Alleged Satanic Ritual Abuse (A.S.R.A.) - The Way Of All Flesh

ASRA is a little known grind band from NY. I found out about them due to their tour with Gridlink a couple years back. I saw them in MA and they were just as intense as this recorded material. They are far more than just a grind band they are a fantastic combination of sludge, grind, power-violence, and metal. You can hear the obvious cues they take from their influences Discordance Axis, Crossed Out, Assuck, and Brutal Truth. Check this out if grind is your jam, if not still give it a shot it will not bore you. Unfortunatly right after their mini-tour with Gridlink the band broke up, and all that is left is their recorded material.

CONDENSED FLESH LIVE 11-10-10

I promised to post mp3 of the Condensed Flesh performance on this weeks Cat Party SO HERE IT IS:

CONDENSED FLESH LIVE ON THE RADIOS! 

It's about 21 mins long and RAW AS FUCK.  I ripped and amplified the audio from the archived show, and since I really don't know how to do those kinds of things, its probably not the best quality.  But that's OK because it sounds pretty good to me.  

Tracklisting:
1. Asphyxiating in a Cosmic Abyss//Afterlife Denied (Eternal Anguish)
2. Familiar Looking Ghosts
3. Odysseys Through Paranoia
4. Assassins in our Midst
5. Untitled I
6. Untitled II

Thank you CJ, Jason, Brendon, and Phil for playing, and thank you Chris Bovio and Spencer Watkins for helping us set it up!  Also, thank you WUNH for giving us a means to do this and for being psyched on it.  Expect more in the future!
