[FreakAnimalFinland]

Possibly most outrageous of PE releases. Can't think of other titles of that nature what would be as vulgar.

Yama-Akago "untitled" 3"CD
Sewer Records
This was 2001 release on Dan Johanssons old label doing 3"CD's. Already kind of regret I sold some of them away. I think usually 50 copies made. Decent covers in small jewelbox. Some people may have read her interview from Special Interests magazine. Japanese female vocal drone & percussion (with small bells etc). Very slow, etherial and ritualistic. But not ritualistic as some sort of human sacrificing, but like celebration of cherry blossom season. Light and airy performance.

definitely reaches and trespass all boundaries sets and make everybody looks safer...

DIE GUTTER GODS: INNERSENSE LP
Some real australian madness.... it was long ago since I felt this excited about a band from the hardcore / skinhead scene.
Looking for Groin Gravy & Soapbox zines published by their vocalist Meatdog... if anyone wants to sell or can arrange scans / xeroxes I'd be very interested.

PUCE MARY - THE GREAT PANIC
One of the artists that constantly improves and continues to surprise me. Probably best recordings I've heard from her this far... There is no excuse not to own this.

WHITE HOSPITAL - HOLOCAUST LP
Nice work from Steinklang with the reissue of these recordings. I must say I prefer the works of Grim but White Hospital are also fucking good.... two tracks I hadn't heard before. Worth tracking down before its sold out.

XE: boxset

- knock knock,
- who is there?
- Police, mr Tiny_Tove, open the door and don't try to resist
- I have done noting, what do you want
- we have been informed you have purchased a certain boxset from Finland
- It is not true, they lie
(meanwhile he burns the boxset...)

beside jokes even better than expectations.
XE at its best and definitely the best WRATH relase so far.

Totally worth the high asking price

KILJUVELKA 70 "Tottele" 7", new Finnish hc/punk, but old guys. Decent. Nothing revolutionary.
MARRASMAAT 7", new Finnish melancholic mid paced "suicidal" kind of BM. Stuff that flows through leaving nothing on your memory. Good example of stuff, where not that much is wrong, but all is so safe.
VILE INTENT "Skin In The Game" 7", new power violence, which I almost didn't take as youtube sample didn't quite convince me. But what the hell, 7" format works well, much better, even if I listened exactly same songs as samples. Not quite the level of Lack Of Interest, Infest, Crossed Out etc, but together with Iron Lung, possibly the few only bands that I have heard to even try to match such brutality in hc. Also good Videodrome sample on b-side. Used it myself on Grunt "Degeneration".
ARMLESS CHILDREN "5 track ep" 7", Finnish crustpunk. Many people praised this, and yeah, I can see why, but still, when songs are most often basically 2 chord riffs and girly high pitched yelling vocals... äshh... Maybe works live better. At least sound of 7" is pretty good.

Thanks for the heads up, had missed this totally somehow...

Currently listening to Peenemünde's II. I don't think this album has received the attention it deserves. Very nice lofi tape industrial that holds together perfectly.

BASTARD NOISE / GOVERNMENT ALPHA / HIROSHI HASEGAWA 7"
Small Doses
Alhough repeating the routines of Bastard Noise, I think especially side with Govt Alpha is splendid! Some added musical elements works the best. Fits well into tastes who like BN with Our Earth Blood or "Source of power..." era stuff.

Karen Constance / Smack Music 7 Book+7"
Smittekilde Records
Bought this solely due packaging. 60 pages of Karen Constances best work in one book. Squirrels eating babyheads, flesh-eating birds and eyebleeding humans all over the place. Comes with a Smack Music 7 single . Not even 100% sure what speed this is supposed to run, but I'll do 45rpm for faster pace, heh... Tape loops, oddities, nightmarish hand crafted noises. Fits 100% to surreal oddities of the book! Perfect format of 7" size bound book.

Deutsch Nepal "Rapist Park Junktion" 2x7"
Autarkeia
Part of the 7" is among the best DN releases what I have listened after early stuff. Horrid first song is singing over old pop tune, which is really bad start, but after that, experimental dark post industrial soundscapes. Ethnic percussions, electronic noises and sounds.  It's too bad another 7" is again his eccentric sung works. Just melodic keyboard music, odd loops and semi-out of tune singing what, in my ears, lacks charisma what even some thinner voiced guys like Ian Reed have. If only he'd have voice a'la Tom Waits or such, he could pull these tracks sound just fine. Now, not really. More heavier effected voice on live track that finishes the release work much better than clean voice.

Works much better live, though I like the 7" also. Still, I've seen them like 20 times live, listened to the 7" perhaps three times. Guitar distortion borders into white noise sometimes, which is a little too much for me, but usually simply great raw punk with equally raw performance.

Currently listening to Peenemünde's II. I don't think this album has received the attention it deserves. Very nice lofi tape industrial that holds together perfectly.

White Hospital being Steinklang release, it's now very small vinyl editions for collectors market. Various colors each pressed some dozens.
Peenemünde II is indeed very very good, and I strongly recommend to even those who didn't think first CD was anything outstanding.

When I first heard Ildjarn/Hate Forest split, to me it was quite big disappointment. To me Ildjarn material didn't even sound like Ildjarn. And it's possible debate whether it really even IS Ildjarn when it's hardly qualifies old works of his. More re-worked stuff by other people. To me it sounded obvious who it was. Anyways, this made me rather think why keep digging that deep into storages of ancient bands if all you find is unfinished guitar riffs? Instead, best raw BM releases of recent times must have been MASTEMA cd on Werewolf label (fin). That IS really primitive BM, with no sellingpoints of scene veterans nor hipster acceptance.
Never been totally blown out by Portuguese BM, apart from late 90's monstrocity SUMMUM MALUM, but been still curious. To me, in BM context, interviews are crucial, and reading pretty crappy interview of VETALA, it made me much less interested in band. Skipped most of stuff, but now took this VETALA / KRUEL KOMMANDO split 7". If talking about lack of true primitive force in that Ildjarn split, then here is no question about it. Utterly rotten, most sadistic rubbish pressed on vinyl these days. Vetala sound and drumming style makes Ildjarn quite tight actually. But Kruel Kommando is even better. Only for lovers of most rawest or the raw. Another jewel MALDICAO / RUACH RAAH split 7". Tune of instruments is something what makes early Mutiilation sound like music school production. Maldicao is something so bizarre, when both 33 and 45 sounds like wrong speed! I'm sure its 33rpm, though. Howling voice is something Finns may have used to hear from these "outside bm" things like Dead Reptile Shrine or Circle of Ouroborus. Ruach Raah is more punky. Rehearsal room madness of this "black punk" kind of stuff where roots clearly in Bone Awl / Ildjarn axis.  Black Cilice / Woddrea Mylenstede split 7". First one has great melodies, but dull vocals (in long run, works ok'ish on one track). Latter is utterly raw sound, but melodic riffs. Works for 7" format well.

Caligula031 - Bachelorette Party C20
The Rita - Ballet Feet Positions cd

Both releases are absolutely amazing and must-have!

Caligula031 sound and aesthetic on this release is something really special. I get special edition and I get thong inside of it and it immediately erect my cock when I touch it. I love it! I love writings and raw and dirty sound on this!!

The Rita's cracking sounds combined with female speech + booklet with stories and writings gives really special feeling while listening this piece. Caligula031 remix is perfect!

Really beautiful and great releases!!

hahahaha
No, it's a female. That's why it's so sexy...
And it's smell goddamn good!!!!!

[FreakAnimalFinland]

There are some different versions of this. Of course hard to find 69 identical thongs/panties. So some have panties, some have thongs. Whether it's trophies male strippers collects from lustful fans or trophy of fans taken from stripper - is up to you.

One of the best recollections of this kind of matter was seeing drunken vocalist of known PE group having piss soaked thong in his pocket. During live gig (where was not performing), taking them from pocket once in a while for extensive sniffing. Trophy received from shemale.  I recall this must be same gig where I was caught for wearing one, haha! Swedish army male thong/jockstrap bough from army surplus section. Baby blue color.

[Mikerdeath]

but still.. what's the best of Draheim?

I recently have been listening to a lot of his stuff, The 3" he did on Chondritic Sound "This Man, This Skull" is probably my favorite stuff. Absolutely punishing and alien sounding. An ace of a recording.

Studio collaboration album with Sixes Summons - Samhain is one of my personal favorites.

Ildjarn / Hate Forest : I agree that this is not authentic sounding Ildjarn stuff at all, this was a totally unecessary release. That combined with the changed cover arts on the  re-issues and of course the new Ildjarn Bandcamp page (???) begs the question is Vidar even still involved with the handling of his works? It seems that old black metal bands having their names hijacked and dragged through the mud is becoming a trend, perhaps not for the first time...
