World Burns To Death/Slang - Split - 7"

WORLD BURNS TO DEATH/SLANG
LIMITED RED VINYL SPLIT 7"
Marking the 2010 summer U.S. tour of Austin, Texas's WORLD BURNS TO DEATH and Sapporo, Japan's veteran hardcore band SLANG, this EP combines two guitar driven blasts of hardcore fury. SLANG have existed for over twenty years evolving between Classic Japanese fast hardcore and downbeat NYHC influences, their track " Our Grey Earth" rampages on SLANG's own path, incorporating the evolution of influences into a fast assault of hardcore that winds to a devastating guitar driven breakdown. WORLD BURNS TO DEATH similarly continue to evolve from caustic bursts of corrosive thrashing to a tempered attack stitched by a melodic guitar riff and glued solid with torrential drum bashing, volatile guitar blasts and harsh vocals, ensuring their track " Babylon Endures" continues their trademark sheer intensity. Limited Red Vinyl copies for Stores and distro only are limited to 650.

Final Conflict - In The Family - 7" EP.

FINAL CONFLICT 'IN THE FAMILY' USA HARDCORE LTD 7" EP

IN THE FAMILY/THE LINES HAVE FADED/YOUR/SELF-DEFEATED
Final Conflict were from Minneapolis MN (the better known California band came a little later) and played great rampaging Midwestern hardcore. This band is not too well known, even here in Minnesota, but once people hear this 7" they are going to be back on the front pages. Powerful and aggro hardcore similar to contemporaries like Negative Approach, the State, Mecht Mensch or Die Kreuzen. This 7" was recorded in 1983 and is re issued by permission of Reflex Records. Recorded at Blackberry Way by Steve Fjelsted and produced by Bob Mould of Husker Du.
