I think they are different singers, although they sound identical. listen to Raya if you like them.
I have huge collection of SSS related stuff...

Started out this morning with a shorter Discharge marathon. Every now and then I remind myself how fucking great they used to be in the beginning. Then I of course just HAD to listen to a live version of "State violence state control" from the Grave New World-era. It is uncomprehensible. I can only imagine how it must have been to actually watch that train wreck live...

I actually stumbled upon a pretty entertaining bit of writing regarding Discharge's hair days a while back, complete with a full audio recording of a disastrous show in San Francisco. It takes about a minute for the chants of "FUCK YOU" to begin.

I particularly appreciate the "are you ready to receive Discharge" bit right at the beginning. Just goes to show that it's a name which suits a cock rock band even better than it does a punk one.

"Grave New World" would have had some potential had it been played the right way...

Grow - fighting youth/strong rule 7"
Still remains one of the most strange records I own. Got it back in my Japanese days. Sounds like a mixture of RAC and Japanese Biker Rock (if that exists, haha). I have asked a lot of Japanese friends about them, no one could tell. Perfect drinking music.

you've heard Gruesome too, yes?

awesome band. I hadn't heard Grow but song on youtube sounds killer. Vocalist sounds identical to Gruesome, could they be the same? A lot of the japanese oi bands have a similar vocal sound... but Grow and Gruesome sound so close.

Yes, heard Gruesome, but my favourite Japanese Oi is still and always Ikazuchi:

How fucking good is Ke/Hil's "Zone 0"?!! I though "Hellstation" was okay at the time, but this release is just brilliant.

Absolutely agreed on both counts.  More words explaining why: https://noisereceptor.wordpress.com/2015/04/30/kehil-zone-o/

Hehe, read that one too, some time ago.

Also I agree that it is not the songs themselves that are the problem but the delivery. Or "problem", I mean I still find it enjoyable enough every now and then...

Kevin Drumm - Necro Acoustic 5xCD bought some of the stuff during Pica Disc sales (i.e. wandered into the land unknown for me with some of these purchases). Kevin Drumm was one of those that I've heard only name before and, well, I didn't become a huge fan after listening to these. There are some nice, static and quite painful parts in these that are enjoyable and discs are released in a luxurious box with booklet etc. Though not completely my cup of tea.

I like a couple that he did - Sheer Hellish Miasma and Land of Lurches. The rest of his stuff has passed me by, although I did read some good things about that 5CD.

I haven't listened to this in a while but the Organ CD is superb.

MENACING 84 - Self titled cassette (Wealth of Abuse) : Excellent.Very muddy & filthy but with enough punch,power & clarity that it works extremely well.Proper 'Necrosound'.What sounds like Con-Dom meets Pogrom style vocals buried underneath.It's very difficult to work out what the source sounds actually are for the most part,apart from the Nazi samples of course.Sounds like it was recorded in the bowels of fucking hell.

ÄTTESTUPA "Vattnet drog sig tillbaka, stenarna blev synliga" LP [Järtecknet]

I've had the chance to live with this one the last month and even if the sounds are fairly modest, I think this is their best work but then again I was not too fond of the earlier recordings. More into recent Järtecknet-territory which means a lot of tape loops (with a partly almost sacral touch this time) and very much less of the "rock"-setting of old. Damn good! Out very soon.

CONSTRAIN "Option to Hide" tape
New Forces
Label promises: A rare example of an artist not sacrificing dynamism in pursuit of harsh, raw textures. Flawless - a project at the forefront of contemporary Americanoise. And what I can say? Seems like New Forces is really claiming its place among new forces. 'zine hit the 4th issue and bunch of great releases done. This has many of the trademarks of the dynamic harsh noise in use, but simply in such a tasty and good way. Even stutter-loops work really well, which is unsusual for my taste. Texture and rawness is there despite excellency in technical execution. Must for harsh noise fans.
