THE GERSCH - s/t lp 11€
"This is a collection of lost recordings from the mid-to-late '90s, created by a loose cadre of individualsled by ISIS and Red Sparowes programmer/guitarist Cliff Meyer. Punctuated by rumbling doom blasts, skyscraping riffery, and cavernous vocals, The Gersch's sonic landscape prefigured its own place in the time/space continuum. From ringing guitars to thudding Mach waves, from buried melodies to lurching power drones, The Gersch will satisfy with sounds both strange and familiar. Plus, there's a totally unhinged cover of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's state-trooper classic, "Ohio"."

ANS - the process of stocking out lp 10€
Since the last LP, ANS has moved away from the Nardcore worship to later era Flag worship. Still has longish (for a punk band) songs with leads. I guess now the leads are less surfy and more 70's rock. Does that make sense? probably not. Either way, it's still thrashy as hell, but the sound's beefed up a bit.

COLISEUM - s/t lp 9€
COLISEUM draws its primary influence from early 80's British punk rock ala DISCHARGE, GBH, & MOTORHEAD, as well as hints of 90's punk and hardcore bands like HIS HERO IS GONE, TURBONEGRO, & AVSKUM. COLISEUM'S downtuned guitars, oppressively heavy bass and blistering d-beat drumming creates the bleak landscape from which Ryan's desperate worldview is throatily belted. COLISEUM is unlike anything in Louisville's vast history of punk, hardcore and indie rock ­ a fast, unyielding colossus of disaffected fury and steadfast punk rock devotion. LEVEL PLANE RECORDS.

SAVIOURS - crucifire lp 10€
Inspired by their common love of the dark and dirty sounds of late 70s and early 80s new wave of British heavy metal, the Saviours formed in Oakland, California, over the summer of 2004. Former Yaphet Kotto members Austin Barber (vocals, guitar), Scott Batiste (drums), and Mag Delana (guitar, also formerly of Bread and Circuits), joined together with bassist Cyrus Comiskey (Drunk Horse) and 3rd (!) guitarist Tyler Morris, intent on saving heavy music from its current state of lackluster purgatory. With the demonic vibe of classics like Bathory, Venom and even Black Sabbath in mind, Barber began to scrawl blasphemous diatribes that'd make even the most thick skinned Christian rockers shiver in their shoes. Meanwhile, guitars were down-tuned, distortion was cranked up, and a powerful, sub-harmonic, rhythm section lay down unearthly grooves.
SAVIOURS - warship '12 9€
Oakland's SAVIOURS emerge with the mighty WARSHIP EP, just months after genesis. Wielding a knee-weakening wall of noise that recalls MELVINS, BATHORY and IRON MAIDEN, SAVIOURS thoroughly execute triple-guitar bewilderment consummated by leagues of thunderous cadence. An unhealthy fixation on the occult steers this volume-obsessed unit, which features members of the esteemed yet elusive YAPHET KOTTO, toward the downward path of the infernal regions. Cover art by acclaimed artist Tim Lehi, as well a B-side etching on the vinyl ordain SAVIOURS and the WARSHIP EP for eminence in the summer of 2005.
