Oroku were a  heavy Hardcore/Crust band from Seattle with members of Garmonbozia. They use a cello, which brings a very melodic element to their music. One of my favourites.

Aborted Christians - SUBMISSION, FORGIVENESS, DEATH! (2010)

Aborted Christians are/were a grindcore band from Hamilton, who played unholy, evil, blackened grindcore. They had several released over the years, including a split 7" with Wellington powerviolence duo Police Lineup. This is their 2010 album, SUBMISSION, FORGIVENESS, DEATH! and its fucking brilliant. Short, fast, loud, guttural screaming. One of the best grindcore bands in this country.

Natural Glow - Young, Gifted, & Fat (2010?)

Named after Suzanne Paul's beauty product of the same name, Natural Grow are an all girl hardcore punk band from Wellington. I'm pretty sure I saw them at Punkfest 2010, though I was very drunk that weekend and can't quite remember. I eventually heard them on "The Arse End of the World" compilation released by Always Never Fun Records in 2011, and their two tracks "Young, Gifted, & Fat" and "RTDs" were fucking rad. This is angry, aggressive hardcore punk and their whole album is great. I'm not actually sure what year this was released, but I'm pretty sure it was around 2010-2011, check it out.

Wasteland - Demo (2008)

Wasteland were a hardcore band from Hamilton, New Zealand who fucking ruled. Fast, aggressive, to the point. They also released a split with a hardcore band from the USA called Disconnected and were featured on the 2011 NZ compilation "Welcome To The Arse End of the World". I heard talk of a full length album a few years ago but haven't heard about it since. Anyways, this is a fucking rad release.

Vilopticon - Merry Christmas Baby (200?)

Vilopticon were a short lived Sludge Metal band around Auckland, Sean Ginge was the singer but I'm not sure of the rest. I believe they had a couple of recording of full concept albums but no idea where they could be! Anyway I received this lovely present in the mail 1 year for Christmas, they do some hilarious doomy/sludgey covers of Rudolph the red noised reindeer, jingle bells, I saw mummy kissing Santa Claus among others. Its pretty awesome, real garage quality low fi stuff that will get you pissed on Christmas.
