Aborted Christians - Sustained By Evil, Possessed In Hell (2013)

Aborted Christians entire discography here to bleed you dry. Ugly, grinding, stoned, evil, christ-hating grind, here to rub sandpaper in your ears. This band was active in Hamilton a few years ago and were fucking evil. This release was put out by Zero Style in Wellington in 2013, as a discography of sorts. Includes the album "Submission, Forgiveness, Death!" which is somewhere on this blog if you can be bothered digging about. For now, its on the Zero Style Bandcamp, it was initially released as a tape but has long sold out. They have/had a split with Wellington powerviolence duo Police Lineup in 2010, which was released on Always Never Fun Records, but is most likely long sold out. Hit up Discogs I guess?

Downer Buzz S/T (2015)

Featuring members of Shortlived, Meth Drinker, Rogernomix, Numbskull, Entrails, Johnny and The Felchers (who else, eh? Only two bloody people) Downer Buzz throw nasty, rungus, hardout noise punk right in your stupid ugly ears. They just released their 12" which you can purchase from Always Never Fun Records or from Black Coffee in Newtown, Wellington. This shit is fucking mean, and limited to only 100 copies so get in quick. Check it out on bandcamp if you got a spare thousand bucks lying round.

With Teeth - MXIII (2014)

With Teeth are a relatively new grind/powerviolence band from Dunedin, grindingly fast high pitched gurgles of noise. Haven't had a chance to see them yet, but I think they're playing Auckland on the 24th of January with Parents, Wizz Kids and Superior Vision, at Lucha Lounge.

Anyways, couldn't find a bandcamp, but here's a link to their demo I stumbled across.

Shallow Grave - S/T (2013)

Shallow Grave are a doom metal band from Auckland, this is their 2013 self titled release, I picked this tape up through Taphephobia Productions and it fuckin' rules. Slow, creepy, atmospheric, groovy, its great. This shit is fucking heavy, crushing doom. Its also available through their bandcamp, well worth checking out. I think I have a vague memory of seeing these guys at a house party once with Meth Drinker, Crawler and Viking Weed (might be wrong about that, foggy memory), that fucking ruled.

Mistaken Identity - Demos (2000s)

Mistaken Identity were a street punk band from Hamilton around in the early 2000s. A friend sent me a bunch of recordings that were all demos so I don't quite know when they were recorded or what release they are from. Some of the songs would eventually become Bludgers songs. Members went on to form Suicide Dogs and The Bludgers.
