The volume dealers at Tankcrimes are very pleased to announce the official reissue of the legendary Human=Garbage debut full-length from iconic West Coast  sludge metal/crust punk missionaries, DYSTOPIA.

Initially released in 1994 as a five-track LP on the band’s own Life Is Abuse and Misanthropic Records then followed in CD format as a twelve-track brutalizer with help from Common Cause in Germany who booked the band’s very first European tour, DYSTOPIA existed as a four piece with Mindrot’s Dan Kaufman on lead vocals, their doom-laden, metal-tinged, down-tuned punk and “love earth-hate people” philosophy reaping instant adoration from the Orange County underground upon forming. The pure, unadulterated anger and misery that pervades this record places it among the most disturbing, depressing and misanthropic offerings in creation. Said Punk News in a 2007 review, “…a crust-metal classic… the kind of record you don’t want your parents to know you own, lest they send you in for counseling. Truly a sickening, painful, brutal album to listen to, but it is definitely an ‘emotional safety valve.’ Not something to listen to when you’re in a good mood, but if you feel like beatin’ the shit out of everyone you see (or worse) consider putting Human = Garbage on.”

Included on the Tankcrimes edition are tracks from the band’s 1993 splits with Grief and Embittered as well as one additional tune only previously released on the CD collection. Visually, DYSTOPIA took influence from both anarcho-punk collage art and graffiti culture, blending images of societal decay, inner turmoil and humanity’s destruction of the planet to create a style that goes hand in hand with the music. The Human=Garbage 2014 version includes a sixteen-page lyric booklet, the imagery proving indispensable alongside these twelve tracks.

Set for official unveiling this Fall, the Tankcrimes reissue comes packaged as a double LP on clear vinyl with the aforementioned 7” x 7″ sized booklet as well as a download card for the digitally astute. The release will come available on CD as well. Fans Of Carcinogen, Mindrot, Kontraklasse, Kicker, Noothgrush pay heed.

As a precursor to the release, today Noisey offers up a tasty sampling of the record with “Stress Builds Character” and “Hands That Mold.”
Embrace the human hate at THIS LOCATION.

Human=Garbage will be available via Tankcrimes on October 14th, 2014. Preorders will be available in the coming weeks. In the meantime, suffer.

DYSTOPIA 01 Stress Builds Character

DYSTOPIA 02 Hands That Mold

ABERRANT - /SNOW/

Dry Cough Records is most pleased to team up with the excellent Raw Birth Records to bring you this new split from two of the finest bands currently peddling grimy, disease-ridden punk-influenced sludge/doom (along with the UK's Moloch, and Germany's Nightslug - two other bands with an impending releases on Dry Cough!). This EP features one track each from Slovenia's Leechfeast, and New Zealand's Meth Drinker.

Leechfeast may not be quite as well known as their Antipodean counterparts, but they're just as revoltingly brilliant. This track has more of a mournful, murky doom-like feel to it than much of their previous output - but this is definitely not a bad thing; they're still as dark and disturbing as ever.

The flip side features another chunk of seething, ugly sludge from down-under. Painfully slow, bass-heavy, piercing feedback, miserable-as-fuck lyrics, vomited vocals, this is classic Meth Drinker  (hell, it's even called 'Sewer' for gods sake!), so rejoice.


METH DRINKER: Sewer

03 Self Defeating Prophecy

Lyrics:

look into their eyes
what do you see?
I see fear, innocence and agony
look at their souls
what do you see?
punishment without criminality
look into their minds
what do you see?
why the fuck are you doing this to me?
look at their flesh
what do you see?
the blood of needless pain from your insanity

unseen, they suffer
unheard, they cry
in agony, they linger
in loneliness, they die

look at yourself
what do you see?
the bastard who inflicted pain on me
look into your soul
what do you see?
the conscience of a killer who refuses to let me free
look into your mind
what do you see?
selfishness
the pedestal of apathy
look into your heart
what do you see?
surely not a human from your indecency

unseen, they suffer 
unheard, they cry 
in agony, they linger 
in loneliness, they die

electrodes in my head
straps secure my arms
I know these humans
are out to do me harm
caged from day of birth
unable to walk free
why can't these bastards
fucking let me be
I know these humans
are out to do me harm
endless, senseless torture on a science slaughter farm
years of animal testing
how can this be true?
you'd surely feel different
if I did this crime on you
animal torture
how can this exist?
a crime with no law
committed by scientists
electrodes in my head
electrodes in my head
now dead.

Nausea - Electrodes

Track 7 of Noothgrush's Erode the Person 2006. I don't own any rights to the music, but being fed up showing my friends the piss poor youtube quality decided to upload it properly so people can enjoy it in its fullness.
