Disrupt - Unrest

Hello again my festering little insects, today I bring you something to fit that rage building in your soul at your fellow man. Disrupt's Unrest LP is one of the shining lights of early 90's crust. 30 Fast, brutal and fucking angry songs in a pro-nature anti-human mindset is what you'll find in this slab of musical destruction. The songs are faily simply and straightforward in nature but this is one of those bands that just makes that formula work for them. You wont find much of a d-beat presence on this album either, the band opts to go for the one-two bass snare combo ala 80's hardcore and instead the crustiness comes from the tone and sound of the guitars and bass as well as the lyrical content and gruff as hell male/female vocal delivery. This is in no way a bad thing of course, in fact it gives many of the songs a more aggressive edge due to the speed in which they play, some songs even borderline on powerviolence at points. It's one of those albums that, while by today's standards doesn't offer anything new to the genre, was made at a time when shit like this was still a fresh idea and you can really tell the band is letting their anger and aggression take over the music as opposed to the riffs. Pure passion and hate drive this album, a must listen for fans of the genre. It's a classic and one that definitely deserves all the praise it's gotten.

Anna O - Self titled

Hello again my Maggots, todays slice of musical enjoyment comes from the pits of France's underground. Anna O is by far one of Frances best kept musical secrets. Claiming two members from the ashes of hardcore/scremo legends Anomie (who are amazing in their own right), Anna O combinds the ferocious female vocal melody of Anomie and sends it through Crust-As-Fuck filter which gives us four down tuned, angry, fast, heavy, duel vocaled crust anthems. The band unfortunatly never actually released anything, the only recordings were made in 1997 for a planned 7" that was eventually scrapped, which is truly disapointing considering the quiality of these four tracks. That and theres also very little information on the band or its members, the track titles were even lost. The only thing everyone seems to agree in knowing is that the members went on to form An-atta, a band that unfortunatly seemed to have shared the same fate with releasing only a split then disbanding, and others went to join various Scremo outfits. Reguardless, this is some damn fine melodic tinged Crust/Hardcore here and it's definatley worth a listen.
