Magnum Force – Self-Loathing 7″ (TLAL46)

This record rages as hard if not harder than any Clint Eastwood vigilante film you’ve ever seen. Hell, it rages harder than any of Charles Bronson’s Deathwish movies. This has more breakdowns than any Mad Max movie. It may even be the Taxi Driver of grindcore. Eight songs of ear crumping grindviolence from Arizona. For fans of the new era of grindcore/powerviolence, anything from MAGRUDERGRIND, INSECT WARFARE, to IN DISGUST.

Suffering Luna – s/t LP (TLAL51) **BRAND NEW**

Deathrats – Give Up 7″ (TLAL55)

Black Hole of Calcutta – s/t 7″ (TLAL61) **BRAND NEW**

Crust/black metal influenced hardcore with some grind parts. Covers are on recycled material. Two long songs, excellent record.

Represses:

TLAL16 – Proletar – Back to Hatevolution CD

Brutal old school grindcore from Jakarta, Indonesia. This discography release spans from 2000 on, and contains more than fifty songs in over 70 minutes from tape EPs, demos, their full length album, splits, and some unreleased, live, and cover songs. Repress out now.

TLAL38 – Conga Fury / Shitstorm – split 7″

CONGA FURY and SHITSTORM were never meant to be paired up. Forces were against this unstable match-up as masters were lost between Japan and the USA thrice over a span of over two years, delays in recording, and the plates shattering while making test presses of this beast. Finally this release comes to fruition with a horrifyingly explosive energy as C-Beat meets G-Beat. Japan’s CONGA FURY, masters of Kochi City hardcore, team up with Miami’s connoisseurs of super-blasting grindviolence, SHITSTORM, to shake up the musical malaise that has infested both Japan and America. A monsoon of fury on one slab of vinyl.

TLAL41 – Disciples Of Christ – Demo 7″

Blistering grindcore from DC. DxOxCx contains members from the ranks of MAGRUDERGRIND, COKE BUST, JUICE TIME, SICK FIX, etc. Distributor has second press, record is about to go on to its third press.

TLAL47 – Backslider- s/t 7″

New EP from this mega-negative fastcore/powerviolence two-piece from Philly.

TLAL54 – Beartrap – Nailed Shut 7″

Sixteen tracks of ripping thrashing hardcore from Massachusetts. Hailing from this area they are very reminiscent of TERMINAL YOUTH and BRAINKILLER, and to me they sound like a hyper-speed version of BLANK STARE. Comes with DIY digital download code.

Full color cover, insert, and 18×25” poster. Mince/grindcore, huge release.
