Napalm Death - Grind Kaijyu Attack - Live in Japan

This is the Napalm Death side of the out of print limited edition (500 copies were pressed) live split LP with Nasum, recorded in Osaka on January 9th 2004. I haven't uploaded the Nasum side as it is identical to the "Doombringer" CD which is a regular release you can, and should buy. It's short and sweet at six songs/18 minutes, split evenly between their then most recent two albums, "Enemy of the Music Business" and "Order of the Leech". The sound quality is excellent and so are the tunes, and if you're like me and missing this rare recording bugged you, here's a cheap way to solve the problem. Enjoy!

Track listing:

1. Narcoleptic (2:37)
2. Taste the Poison (1:47)
3. Next on the List (3:29)
4. To Lower Yourself (3:09)
5. Can't Play, Won't Pay (3:19)
6. The Icing on the Hate (3:29)

Gride - Live in Slovenia (Molotov Squat, Ljubljana) 29.04.2003. - VIDEO

Happy birthday Dena!

A quick update before I leave for the Monte Paradiso festival, here's a video of Czech grind masters Gride in Ljubljana eight years ago. Pretty good quality, at least sound-wise, and a good show.

Vokalni kvartet ''Rebus'' - Pjesma Pivovare Osijek

Kad žarko sunce obasja grad
Vrućina jaka, što ćemo sad?
Na nebu nema oblaka
Sparina guši nas!

U rijeci Dravi tražimo spas
Upalih kola dodajem gas
Za piće što ćemo podnijeti
Osječke pivare pivo je najbolje za nas sve!

Osječko pivo piti je spas
Proizvod dobar, svaka mu čast!
Osječko pivo dobar je lijek
Pijmo ga braćo, gasi nam žeđ!

Ako si tužan, umoran ti
Otvori bocu, nek pivo vri
Natoči čašu, ispij do dna
Nestat će umor, tuga i jad!

Čašicu Zrinskog pred ručak popij
A i kad ručaš pivo ti godi
Godi, godi - ajd pogodi!
Godi, godi - ajd pogodi!
Godi, pogodi čije je pivo najbolje?
Osječke pivare pivo je najbolje za nas sve!

Osječko pivo traži se svud
Kvalitet dobar, ovdje trebam pomoć
Pije ga narod, pije ga svijet
Pijte ga braćo, o dobar vam tek
Pijte ga braćo, o dobar vam tek

Pijte ga braćo, o dobar vam tek!

Track listing:

1. Pjesma Pivovare Osijek (2:22)

Napalm Death - Live at Earthdom, Tokyo, 11.09.2010.

I guess this show was added to the tour later?

In my opinion today's Napalm Death is the best Napalm Death ever, and this show is as great as any one I've heard or been to. The sound quality is, let's say medium, with a bit of a booming low end and a little too much crowd noise, but otherwise rather clear and noise-free. The recording is a bit short at 52 minutes - I wonder whether it was a short set, or if it's incomplete - there's no "Greed Killing" here, which they played every time I saw them. I'd also love to have the opening set by "Napalm Truth", Venomous Concept (Shane Embury and Danny Herrera + Kevin Sharp and Dan Lilker) - if I ever find it, I'll add it to the post.

Track listing:

1. Intro/Strong Arm (4:09)
2. Unchallenged Hate (2:56)
3. Suffer the Children (4:05)
4. Silence Is Deafening (6:03)
5. Life and Limb (3:10)
6. Diktat (3:38)
7. When All Is Said and Done (2:53)
8. It's a M.A.N.S. World! (0:55)
9. From Enslavement to Obliteration (3:19)
10. On the Brink of Extinction (4:22)
11. Scum (2:59)
12. Life? (0:38)
13. The Kill (0:26)
14. Deceiver (0:37)
15. You Suffer (1:05)
16. Mass Appeal Madness (4:08)
17. Nazi Punks Fuck Off! (3:48)
18. Siege of Power (3:27)

Carcass - Live at Terasa Verudela, Pula, Croatia 05.05.1992. - VIDEO

Here is the complete video of the first foreign band playing in Croatia since its declaration of independence and the beginning of the war, which was still raging when Carcass came to Pula. You can grab the audio of the show, along with the set list and a few pictures, here - it's a great blog ran by the guy who had recorded this show almost twenty years ago. Also check out a nice amateurish interview done by Croatian television here. Oh yeah, the opening acts were bands called HATRÖSS and CENOTAPH - I wonder what they sounded like? :)

Napalm Death - Noise for Music's Sake, Pt. 2

A photo from a fantastic show at Zagreb's KSET club which I had the pleasure of attending.

Some years ago Earache has released a great double-CD compilation by Napalm Death called "Noise for Music's Sake", the first CD of which contained a "best of" selection from their time with the label, and the second, more interesting one for the dedicated fan, a collection of harder to find stuff, including some EP's and many of the bonus tracks added to various re-releases of their studio albums. This album I have compiled completes the story with other non-album stuff that was left off of that compilation, and presents a neat overview of their career from the early harsh grindcore stuff ("The Curse" 7", split 7" with S.O.B., a couple of tracks exclusive to the "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" 7", and a live compilation track), through the somewhat tedious "commercial" phase (the "Greed Killing" and "Breed to Breathe" EP's, minus the tracks available on the "Diatribes" LP), up to the bonus tracks from limited editions of their two most recent releases, the unstoppable "Smear Campaign" and "Time Waits for No Slave", rounded off by an exclusive track for the Decibel magazine. All of this stuff is easily available across the Internet, but I wanted to have it all in one neat package, so here it is for your enjoyment - it does sag a bit in the middle ("Self Betrayal" is especially painful to a punk rocker's ears; surprisingly, I rather like the remix of "Contemptuous", even though I consider the mid-90s trend of techno remixes to be one of the most despicable ones in the whole history of metal), but most of it is essential music by one of the greatest extreme bands of all time.

Track listing:

1. The Curse (3:17)
2. Musclehead (0:50)
3. Your Achievement (0:06)
4. Dead (0:05)
