threshold of pain-1983 demo

very early perth hardcore from 1983. these guys were apparently heavily influenced by discharge, though their music is more of an interpretation than straight up cloning, intentional or not. fast, noisy, loose and punk as shit. almost confuse levels of chaotic distortion.

i've only got the first 7 tracks of the demo unfortunately. if anyone has the whole demo, please get in contact!

all in deep shit-fuckface ep

7 song ep recorded early 2003. this material was written and recorded after the band officially broke up, due to vocalist robin moving to melbourne and as such has vocal duties filled by members the band (myself and rhys) and simon whitfield (who went on to sing for halo of knives). songs were written over the course of a month and then promptly recorded. the songs have more of a technical and chaotic sound to them to earlier material & all songs have time-based lyrical content.

the recording was released by fuckface records on business card size cds in a red cloth case with the above image printed on it. also included inside was a sticker.

hailstones kill 200-june 19 1932

technical grindcore recorded 2004 and released in 2004 on grindhead records. the band consisted of matt, jon (from sex at gunpoint & ken oath) nick (from inter alia) dan (from jed whitey & cobra clutch) and myself.
it should be noted that the and was no where near as tight live as this recording, a lot of studio wizardry (courtesy of aidan barton) being involved.

there was a good deal of humour involved with the band, hence the scattered, almost wacky structures of the songs and odd live performances.

the title of the release is a reference to the event that inspired the bands name- on june 19 of 1932, in the hunan province of china, farmers and citizens faced with drought amassed to pray for rainfall. the hailstorm that soon followed killed approximately 200 persons.

burn for me-2nd demo

this is the 2nd demo by burn for me. probably from around 2003/2004? more melodic detal metal, though a lot more blasty and technical than previous material.

there was one more recording session after this one, though i think only one song was recorded, which veered more into straight up technical death metal. the song was compiled with the previous 2 demo's on a cd they distributed on tour.

rupture-corrupture

ruptures first full length and probably most well known release, coming out in 92 as a 10" on yeah mate records. this was recorded when rupture were in their prime, song-writing wise, and the recording is a decent quality so it gets across (unlike some other records, which suffer from bodgy mixes)

the manikins-self titled

this is a compilation of the output of the manikins, for the most part a bunch of 7" singles. a band that formed after the demise of the cheap nasties in 1977 after kim salmon left the band to form the scientists. the rest of the band continued as the manikins making some great power pop tunes until they broke up in 1981.
one of the members (mark betts) used the name (sans "the") to form a synth pop band with a female vocalist. they released one album and a few singles.

cremator-evil brew tape

thrash metal from around 87. this tape preceded the 12" and i'd say this is a little better. more straight forward recording and guitar tones.
