Wake Up On Fire - s/t (2005)

Wake Up On Fire's full length strikes me as a monumental roller coaster of crust and doom consisting of a cello, dual tribal drumming, emotionally charged build-ups, and a combination of various vocal styles (ranging from tortured shrieks and death growls to somber female singing). Although they are no longer together, members of Wake Up On Fire have gone on to form bands such as Nux Vomica, Moonshine, OAK, and Rotting Sky.

Lachrymose - Demo (1996)

After Skaven broke up in the late 90's, guitarist Geoff Evans formed Lachrymose along with the drummer and one of the bassists of Skaven. Soon after the formation, Dino Sommese (Dystopia) was recruited as the  lead vocalist. The demo is considered the "prequel to Asunder", as it was the only material they recorded before the band eventually became Asunder. It's interesting to notice how the different elements of Dystopia and Skaven are combined to create a very unique style of crust.

Suffering Luna - Discography (2010)

“Suffering Luna’s been around since the ’90s and keep resurfacing with a hellish brand of psychedelic hardcore laced with weird polyrhythms, media-soundbite samples, tape loops and hairy walls of guitar that owe to the artier strains of Scando black metal and ’70s Euro kosmiche musik. Their performances are grueling, paranoid affairs that burn their way into trance.”

In addition to their songs from the split 7" with Dystopia and the split 12" with Gasp, this release includes 4 new studio songs and a new live recording with their current lineup.

Tracklist:
1. Sea of drugs
2. Paranoid Delusions
