Radio Raheem is such a consistently great label. They keep proving it, over and over again, and I keep repeating it. And their records don't look like, feel like, or sound like bubblegum machine products. The Psychos and Sarcasm collection LPs are smokers and pure joy. If you're into early Agnostic Front, you have to hear The Psychos, and if you like early crust and crossover, you have to hear the Sarcasm demos. United Mutation always blow my mind with how progressive they were at the time. Did Pushead get inspiration from them? Such nasty and gritty stuff.
Also revisited the 2010's material from Misery, which is as great as anything they ever did. The album from 2011 is 54+ minutes, and it is solid throughout. Powerful, psychedelic heaviness.
Flesh Parade - Kill Whitey 7" + demos. The vocals can simultaneously get on my nerves and are entirely unique. I never remember what they sound like.
La Pestilencia - La Muerte...Un Compromiso De Todos 1989. Columbian HC/thrash/grind/something. Ugly and raw, as you'd expect from a more complex Herpes. I'd never heard of them until the recent boot of this album. One of those albums you don't know where to go after listening to it. It's amazing they don't get more talk. I still think Confusion are the kings, but I'm all there for this.
More Japanese issues on Relapse. A Zouo collection and a new album from Struggling Harsh Immortals, which are clearly influenced by Ministry. The Zouo download has a bunch not included on the record.
