They are Opran možgan (brainwashed). They flew out of a concrete garage in 2019.The line-up kept changing, and so did the sound. In principle, they have been using crust/hardcore punk with occasional grind elements since the beginning. The current members are Klemen Škrjanec - guitar + back vocals, Nik Jeđud - guitar + back vocals, Matic Gorjan - bass guitar, Žiga Križnar - vocals and Grega Križnar - drums. The modern capitalist apocalypse unfolding around us and within us has a special sound of pain, suffering, frustration and chaos. They try to capture these feelings and transform them into something beautiful and tangible but at the same time sincere. Confession of the real situation, not flight into a dream. They don't want to be just a band, but they are friends who together create something bigger than each individual. Some more drug addicted than others, some less present than others. Full of difference, they strive for unity and seek beauty in chaos and destruction. The world is washed, and so is the brain in it.They are Opran Možgan (brainwashed).
DISM is a band based in Malaysia. They carry a history since related with bands such as The Dirty Dogs, Psycho Sickness, Discrusher and The Bongox. Their inspiration sound into Discharge, Broken Bones, Disgust, Raw Noise, Extreme Noise Terror, Doom and Disclose.

Distrüst are a d-beat, crust and punk band that is formed in 2015 with the intention of being a different project to those existing in their lives and when they are also the first band in the country (El Salvador) touch crust and d-beat. The idea was to have fast and raw music, with some libertarian and anarchist tendencies; they met in a night to play something and then the first song with Luis “Bash” Mendez, Jorge “Gino” Ayala and Leonardo Alas.
For a couple of months they have been rehearsing original songs like “Cambia Primero” and “Anarchistas” (to mention a few). They had a lot of problems in those months because “Gino”, who would be part of the beginning of the band and who was playing the bass; They were not present at the rehearsals, delaying the process, they decided to give it a hand in order to incorporate a person who in the rock / metal scene in general is very familiar; Vitelio Melara, someone who comes to give you the power and fun of the band.In March 2016 they finally debuted in a concert by friends, “Electoral Destruction”, a show very under. After this concerto the things if it would be because they decided to grab their first EP, “Don't Believe The Progess”, loaded with 10 original themes and 2 covers; fully engulfed in a self-management manner with John de Guaro Barto Producciones. Being a d-beat / crust band in the region will open opportunities for Split with the band Mother Earth from Guatemala, to participate in the compilation “You Bleed the Oidos 2” (D-beat V.A). In 2016 we played with the Hardcore Punk band from Texas, GLUE, a show that also helped us show their noise. Throughout this time, they traveled to Guatemala to present the inauguration of the “Corazones Incendiados” producer, they traveled to Nicaragua to share with many friends from this region. In August 2016, for the first time, they traveled to Costa Rica for an anarchist activity, an Encuentro International Punk Encuentro, which gives us a very good sympathy with all the people from different parts of the Latin American region. In 2017 they hacked the first tour of Mexico called "FUCK WORLD'S BORDERS", with 9 performances in the State of Mexico, Puebla and Oaxaca. In 2018 they launched a second EP entitled "Destructive Asocial Noise" with 10 themes, and in July-August this year we hacked the second tour called "Sin Return" which comprises Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia.
For now they keep on creating a new theme for the first long-lasting record, so the 2018 finale integrates Noe Velasquez with the second guitar.
Antigen was founded as punk band in Göttingen (Germany) in 2002. Founding members are Steffi (Bass and Vocals), Mücke (Guitar) and Wally (Drums). The band released the first album „Fluch der Väter“ in 2006 with the newcomer-label “Skulls in Heaven”. The second LP „Ware Leben“ was released in 2011. In 2011 Wally left the Band and Schmied (ex Dunkle Tage, ex Red with Anger) became the new drummer. In 2016 Mad Butcher Records released the EP „Ourselves“. In 2016 the band made a break.
In 2018 Steffi, the singer and bass player found new band members in the common former band Angry Brigade from Prague, which influenced the sound significantly and brings crust and hardcore elements into the band. The lyrics criticise power relations, social problems, capitalism and war.
Atomski Rat (Atomic War) is band created in a small Serbian town called
Šid (Shid).It came as a result of 4 guys who don’t know how to play
(well,3 can’t play,and one can’t sing)
wanting to form a band,like every punk and metal head does.They agreed
to play punk thrash music,but when they started playing it turned out
something completely different!So now they play kind of noisy hc
something punk!They have rehearsal demo from 2009 and self released S/T
from 2010.They have "I" "Iluzije Stvarnosti Tape," Sumrak slobode "CD and split with the band Kalo, which is to be released.They expect that by the end of the year a CD will be released with the latest discography and some unpublished recordings so far.
INTOX was formed in early 2013 . Hardcore punk band with pieces of crust and pure hardcore rage charged to obscure surrounding!Intox
band was formed 6. April 2013 in Serbian city (Kragujevac)... Like many
other bands they also charging for new materials. Had a bit of changes
in crew but still shaking the earth on
the stage whenever they show up. Four years of their existence and
they've gather a small amount of material, but enough to mutilate mind
of their listeners. Their relase "Zabranjena Zona" relased in 2014 and
after a short time they recorded 4Way Split with: Suga, Crustalno Jasno
and Shovel. Balkanic recently historical moments in late '90s has
influenced them to write down these songs. After two years, crew with a
bit of changes on drums and bass guitar recorded new singles "Siva
Slika" and "Ipak Dovoljan Sebi Sam" with introspective view and
continued in that direction. So far so good, their last gig was with ODD
CREW from Bulgaria and gone with the best impressions of audience.
Upcoming gig with Peranoisepora should be a great event, expected with
much more energy, that's their beliefs. (Update: Arsenal Fest -
Demolition Stage and gig with ODIO(USA) @ Suburbia Club in Novi Sad.)
1. How and when did you join Doom
and what was your first roll in the band ?
Denis Boardman- I joined Doom in the end of 1995 . At the time there was a
planned tour for Scandinavia and Scoot who is now playing bass in the band ,
had been playing bass in the band for maybe a year or so, he had some personal
problems with his then girlfriend and basically he couldn't do the tour so they
asked him if he wants to leave and he said yeah. Anyways, I have been like a
friend of the band and meeting up with them on gigs and you know Doom were my
fucking idols since I first saw them in 1987 because in England nobody was
really doing the Discharge thing. So Doom was influenced more by Swedish
hardcore. Of course there was influence by Discharge but there was kinda more
influence by the Swedish bands like Discard. When Doom went in the studio for
the first time they actually took the Discard demo and said to the producer “We
wanna sound like this.“
2.Of
all the songs from Doom, which one you enjoy playing the most ?
Denis Boardman – That's a fuckin' tricky
one.
All for one and one for all - It's surely Police Bastard haha.
Denis Boardman- Nope, everybody in the band actually hates „Police Bastard“ because
it's so „famous“.
All for one and one for all - I think that doesn't matter, I think it's „famous“ because it's a
good song.
Denis Boardman- Yeah, it is a good song but I think the record cover and name
of the song are better than the actual fuckin' song. Anyways it's kinda like with
the „Ace of spades“ with Motörhead for instance, they have to play the „Ace of spades“ and it's
like “Oh fuckin' no, we have to do that!“ and that's how we feel about „Police
bastard“. Yeah, it's a good song, but we don't feel like it's our best song.
You know we are kind of known for that song but we don't really want to be
known just because of a fuckin' „Police bastard“ song.
3.Could you give some advice
to the underground scene ?
Denis Boardman – Well...Where do you start?
I mean I have been in the underground scene since I was a fucking litle kid and
now i'm 48. The thing is, either you are there or not, you like the music or
you fuckin' don't. I know some people join for a while and they give up because
of family life or they just don't like the music anymore, however the most
dangerous people are the fuckin' fanatics who join and become prominent in the
scene and they have influence over the people because they are smart talkers, its
kind of if you have watched "the lord's of chaos" film you know the
fuckin' "Varg Vikernes" Christian Vikernes, he was a fanatic. Put it
this way, how old are you ?
All for one and one for all - Im 22.
Denis Boardman – Im 48 and I've been in
punk all my life, so I have seen people come and I have seen people go, its
like a movement, but there are "clever" people that can influence the
movement and they can be fuckin' dangerous because it's almost like a fucking religion
or a cult. That's very dangerous cause people don't use their own minds, it is
ok to be influenced by people or ideas but when it's not your own ideas you
think "fuck this shit up, this is who i am? No!" listen to
yourself's. The answer to your question is "Use your own fucking head,
Dont be a dickhead, treat women with respect, ignore idiots, respect each other
and learn to love each other."
4.Could you
say something at the end for the blog „All for one and one for all“?
Denis Boardman – Like I said previously be a good person, we are not fucking robots, we are not all made
the same. So if you listen something on a record like a political idea and you
think „ugh that's fuckin awesome“, you still have to think about how things
work for you because punks are not your gods and the records are not your
fuckin bible. Just be a good person and remember that we are all diferent and
we all react diferently to things. Treat everyone with respect and be
respected, don't fuck people over.
EPHEMERAL EMBRACE is the band that want
to go outside the box, they didn't give a fuck about to be tagged into the
umpteenth under-kind of metal, they never wanted to be a copy of the
umpteenth "famous X band". The result? A punk/metal that put together
everything has influenced us in these years.
Born in 2003,
grown with Venom and Misfits, they never wanted to make usual metal.
Despite all the line-up changes, their goal always has been to create
something original, their first video-clip "Empty", a song about eating
disorder like anorexia and bulimia, it's an example that help to
understand how they face our life with the music. Theyborn and grown under
the star of '70 '80 '90 hardcore/punk and metal music. Under these
influences, Ephemeral Embrace comes alive and gives life to its songs.
Their second demo, in the february of 2013, is another clear example of
this: 4 songs that are more near to what they were searching respect to
the older demo, came out in 2008. In fact some reviews gave them the confirmation of that:
-Metallized- "Going into the essence of the work, the orobic band
propose a pleasant "come back at the origin", the way of write and
conceive the music it's what will be rebaptized "first black metal
wave", a sound still tied, from a side, to thrash and heavy metal staves
and on the other side, to the attitude, aggression and chaos of the 80
hardcore/punk made in U.S." -Italia di Metallo- "This guys gain with
full hands from the origin of the thrash / black metal scene, through
guitar heavy lines sometimes near at the crust punk"
BESTHÖVEN
are from Brazil and have been around since the end of 1990 playing
total Discimex raw fucking D-beat punk. BESTHÖVEN is a one man drunken
army with Fofäo Discrust behind the Dis-beat horrorcore.BESTHÖVEN
started to play in the end of 1990 between October to December… Formed
by four friends that time was looking to do a new band and play some
noise!!! Some changes in the line up in the start… but established til
94 with Fofäo – Vox, Robson – Guitars, Repolho – Drums and Adriana –
Bass… In this era they played many gigs and etc… Then in 1994 band got one man … Sometimes he invited some friends like support
member… Including Robson (who played drums in “Depois De Um Ataque
Aereo” EP in 1999) and Adriana (who played bass in 15 years of birthday
gigs…) Besta”
that in Portuguese means “evil or beast” and the musician “Beethoven”
it means something like “noise not music” or just “anti-music” or then
another version of “classic music”…
After the Peroxide Youth break up in June 2013, Chris and Gary decided
to move back to So Cal from Santa Cruz to enjoy the LA punk scene once
again. With the momentum and drive to
continue playing music, the two decided to start a new band. After much
searching, Paulina Perez (Boyle Heights) and Eloy Ruiz (South Central)
were added to the crew. Janet Gutierrez joined 2016. Rhythmic Asylum
est. summer 2014, book them.
1. Could you tell a bit more about
crust almighty record label?
Crust Almighty is a very small label/distro in Sydney,
Australia, specialising in crust punk and grindcore. It's nothing grand but we
love doing it, it helps get some noise out there and some hard to find in
Australia records into the country via trades (which we are always up for).
2. When did you start with the crust almighty record label and
are the bands satisfied with your services?
Oooh, we probably started about 5 years a go as a way of
putting out a 7" by our own band Inebrious Bastard (you may notice that
most of the releases feature Inebrious Bastard on them). We have really only
worked with friends so I'd like to think they were happy with what we did
(sometimes things don't quite move as fast as we'd like due to cash flow but I
think we are forgiven for that.) The only thing we try to do as a label is be
honest with ourselves and others. We have been approached by many great bands
to help with releases, which we would have loved to do, but it always depends
on money so if it isn't there then we just can't help out.
3. What bands can expect from you?
More than likely an Inebrious Bastard album, more split
7"s (have no idea who yet) and hopefully a collaboration or 2 with other
labels to release bands that aren't our own.
4. Could you give some advice to bands about the underground
scene?
Never take it for granted, ignore the hollier-than-thou types,
enjoy it, be part of it in anyway that makes you happy (be that going to shows,
supporting releases, being in bands, making fan/webzines, running social media
groups, etc. Bands in general - support each other, share gear, don't be a
dick.
Being part of the underground (whatever scene that is in be it
metal/punk/noise/electronic/art/performance/whatever) means you will be in
contact with some very passionate people who are doing what they do for the
love of it. Sometimes that person needs to be you if no-one else is wiling to
put gigs on, start a band, run a space etc. Never be afraid of failing. No ever
did anything without a few stumbles along the way. It can be hard work
sometimes but it's always worth it.
5.Could you say something at the end for the blog All for one
and one for all?
As I've said already, the scene doesn't survive without
support, and that comes in many different ways. From your local shows to
worldwide distribution, the only people that make it work are us, we are what
keeps this thing going, stay angry at the politicians and people in positions
of power but stay positive about how to improve your own existence.
