helta skelta-parasite

tape release from a few years back.
4 tracks (including a cover of SSD)of an interesting mix of garage punk and black flag influenced hardcore. it works well, which is surprising as its notoriously difficult to mix the aggressive style of hardcore with garage, given its usually a more up-beat genre of music.

excretion

i believe this is from a split with ultimo rausea from japan, released on ecocentric records in the mid 90s. i don't have the ultimo rausea tracks, but seeing as this is a perth blog, its probably fitting just to have the excretion tracks.
the band was a recording project by dean and craig from nailed down, aiming to be a generic grind band formed solely with the purpose of getting their own records banned in australia (this was around the time cannibal corpse records were being censored in australia and rupture almost had their records confiscated by customs (it ended up getting through due to the fact the lyrics on the record were "indecipherable")) unfortunately (or not? who knows) the record was not censored or banned by australian censors, probably due to the low profile of the band.
musically this is great, and much better than other "generic" grind of the time. it definitely falls on the hardcore side of the genre. the only downside is the vocals are a little bodgy, but not so bad it ruins the songs.

penetrating stairs/magic window split CD

recorded live at 208 on friday 16th of november, 2007.
penetrating stairs was a band made up of clare on drums, myself on bass and alex (who later joined UV race in melbourne) on guitar. sloppy flipper/feedtime inspired munted jams.
magic window was i believe 2 members of astral travel and james on keys playing some catchy synth punk.

nailed down-leak of deadly bacteria

from 96 and released on spiral objective records. it is also known as "destroy deceitful fellows".
10 tracks of raw dirty scandinavian style hardcore. all of these these tracks bar the anti-cimex cover were also on the atrocious damnation 10" though i'm not sure if its an entirely new recording or the tracks were selected from the atrocious damnation recording to put on this australian release.

eleventh he reaches london-diving for treacher

eleventh he reaches londons first release from 2003.
much more heavy and angular sounding than later material, to me it sounds like a mix of 90's screamo with a some math-metal. still featuring the longer, more intricate song structures of later work.

kompost-tape

hardcore from 89. one of matt (stumblefuck) bands before starting rupture.
5 tracks. one being a BGK cover and another of the the other tracks played twice, so i assume this is from a practice tape.
sounds like a mix of US and UK hardcore, with a little of what could almost be early earache records riffage, though the guitar tone keeps it from sounding very metal.

burning sensation-s/t LP

another band of the prolific david west (whale hammer/debbie gibson etc). this band used to play pretty regularly in perth, mostly at the hyde park pub. consisted of dave and i think a bunch of guys he went to school with or something. it strange to say, but it meant they had a pretty unique look, a bunch of normal looking dudes playing some fucked up sounding super noisy poppy punk. strange in that any other band playing anything punk in perth at the time looked/dressed appropriately punk. although obviously unintentional it gave a real kind of "fuck you" vibe to their sets. the fact their shows were obscenely noisy (which doesn't really translate onto the LP to as much of a degree) added to this.
the LP itself is great. heaps of variety and catchy songs so it keeps your attention well, varying from sweet pop, to harder almost hardcore songs and a lot of weird fucked sounding parts too, all fitting together really well as a whole. personally reminds me of hot snakes for some reaon.
this must've been recorded something like 5 years ago? i think the LP was released as a small pressing in the last 2 years, so you might be able to hunt down a copy if you hunt through distros. do so. its worth it.
