Enshrine - Burning - Demo 2 - 1994 - New Zealand

The second and final Enshrine recording and my favorite musically although I was never happy with the drum sound. This was recorded at the Zoo Studio and Engineered by Dave Lowndes and was our first experience in a fully Digital Studio. We included an Anal Cunt and Minch cover for good measure.

01 - Intro
02 - Yrotciv
03 - The Magnificent Earthly Triumphs Of Absu
04 - Nullius Fullus
05 - These Works Of War
06 - For The Devils Grin
07 - An Instinct And Lure (Reprise)

Enshrine - Equality Is For Equals - Demo 1 - 1993 - New Zealand

Enshrine were a project band formed from the ashes of Sinfeeder. A three piece featuring Dane on Vocals, Rory on Guitar and Me on Drums. Enshrine would have to have been one of my favorite bands to drum in, all the songs were short but packed with time changes and riffs galore (this is more prominent on the second demo). Musically we took our influences from the Death/Black Metal scene but stripped the playing times to a more enjoyable duration.

This Demo was recorded at Tandy's Studio and Engineered by Dave Whitehead.

01 - Which He Choked
02 - My Tongue A Window
03 - An Instinct An Lure
04 - Drive Again The Nails
05 - In The Height
06 - Mountains

Azazel - Nocturnal Cognation - Demo 2 - 1992 - New Zealand

The second (and final) Azazel recording. Laid down at Rex's Studio. More of a shift towards the Death/Black Metal sound prominent in the early 90's. This would have to be my favorite of the two Azazel Demo's.

01 - In Nomine Satanus
02 - Like The Grave
03 - Infernal Diatribe

Azazel - Azazel - Demo 1 - 1992 - New Zealand

Well this is what I was doing in the early 90's. Azazel was one of New Zealand's first Death Metal bands and this was our first demo recorded at Musicare Studio's in 1992. Band features members of Gawj, Lamp Of The Universe, Dabunka and Aborted Christians.

This Demo has more of a US Death Metal influence ala Suffocation and Deceased.

01 - Beyond Cremation
02 - Banquet Of Rot
03 - Summoned From The Underworld
04 - Baptism Of Death

Syudan Jisatsu - Demon Priest ep - 1991

Heavy Jap Punk in the vein of G.I.S.M. It's even been rumoured that Sakevi did the vocals on this and it's not too difficult to see why. Great ep.

02 - Muster Up Violence
03 - Devil Dance
04 - Black Father

Death Dust Extractor - Slay Your Masters Or Slave In Chains ep - 2009

Death Dust Extractor from Japan lay waste of this ep. Heavy fast Crust. Packaging was a little on the minimal side but the music is another story all together. The last track is bizarre.

01 - Slave In Chains
02 - ...
03 - Mind
04 - Tomorrow-2
05 - Ego Is Horrendous
06 - Intro
07 - Slave System
08 - Brian Killer (Death Killer)
09 - Untitled

Bristles D.C - Free The Prisoners ep - 1986

Snotty punk from Sweden circa 1986. You can almost see the singer sneering when he's laying the vocals down. Catchy.

01 - Troops Of Today
02 - Lonely
03 - Coming Back

Crucial Section - Against The Wind ep - 2008

Damn fine ep from these Japanese Thrashers. A nice fat production makes this ep just shred. I much prefer this over their full length from a few years back.

I'm pretty sure the vinyl version has sold out now but there is a CD version available so contact them below and grab yourself one.

Zyanose - Loveless ep - 2009

Japan's Zyanose with 4 tracks of noisy chaos punk on the A-Side and then they throw a spanner in the works with a 7 minute long track on the B-Side (Voice Of Youth) which just goes on and fucking on but it kind of works.

01 - Future

In Cahoots - Demo CDR - 2009 - New Zealand

In Cahoots started as a flat band based out of Wellington, initially with the plan of playing a single show and putting out a tape before Lizard left. Influenced by a bit of pop punk, a bit of hardcore and a big nod at whatever was being played on the stereo at the time.

This is the tape which finally got released, 8 months and a fistful of shows later. (Ben)

I'll add that this has got that old school feel to it, like a rabid version of Regulations with a bit of Vitamin X shoved in there for good measure.

Good shit.

Get the fucker here.

No Idea - Class War 12" - 1985 - New Zealand

No Idea were a Punk/Oi band from Christchurch from the early to mid 80's who released this 12" and a Tape called "Wotsoever". I'm not a history buff but I love their two releases and this 12" has the awesome "Rugger Bugger". I do prefer the more raw sound they had on the cassette but fuck me this is classic New Zealand Punk fucking Rock. They were the forerunners of the second wave on NZ punk along with the likes of Flesh D-Vice, Armatrak, Five Year Mission and Compos Mentis.

No Idea formed in April '83 in Palmerston North & then moved to CHCH Feb'84. Their tape was released on 6th August 1984. & 12" 21st Oct 1985. (thanks Simon for the information)

02 - Get It Together
