1st short demo from a new Brazilian raw black metal/noise project. The band consists of members of various punk/hardcore/noisecore projects from Blumenau. This demo was recorded live a couple of weeks ago, a split w/ Ivpiter is announced to come out soon. Overall, if you liked the other Brazilian blackened noise projects which I've posted on my blog before, this demo might be of interest for you.

The 8th (and the last up to date) podcast by Music Against Humanity, featuring mostly raw, noisy hardcore and black metal. Again, thanks to the M.A.H. crew for making such a solid introduction to the blackened hardcore/crust/noisecore scene, featuring so many obscure yet interesting bands.
Another podcast by Music Against Humanity, this time solely dedicated to grindcore/mincecore/powerviolence. I won't post the podcasts #5 & #6, as they're dedicated to Siberian post-punk, and it's pretty much pointless to listen to them without knowing the historical context. However, I can make my own compilation of Siberian punk specially for foreign audience, if you wish. Alternatively, if you still want to hear the original podcasts, you can find them in the M.A.H. blog.
The second podcast from Music Against Humanity, this time featuring more than 40 various crust / stenchcore / death metal bands. Sorry for providing only the narod.ru link, because this podcast was removed from mediafire (as you all know, such stuff is happening more and more often). The next parts (vol. 3-8) will come soon.

It isn't a compilation, but a podcast made by Music Against Humanity, a trackblog (= a music blog which runs as a public page on vk.com) which strongly supports everything RABM-related. Right now M.A.H. is one of the best punk/metal trackblogs out there (among the 9 best trackblogs on vk.com, according to Afisha), with more than 5700 subscribers.
This podcast features mostly classics of metal & punk of all sorts that have influenced the creators of M.A.H. - so don't be surprised to see Atavistic and Doom next to Nirvana and Black Sabbath, and anarcho-punk (Varukers, Rudimentary Peni, ...) next to "scum punk" (GG Allin, Оргазм Нострадамуса, ...) Even though I won't include some of these tracks into the podcast if I was in place of M.A.H.'s admins (for example, I'd never include any track by Инструкция по Выживанию - even though they played some good music in the very beginning, before their vocalist became a complete wackjob), I have a great respect for them, as they did a colossal job of introducing RABM, metallic crust, and lots of other great music to the ex-USSR audience.
Since a lot of my readers are playing in hardcore/punk bands that doesn't belong to the metal scene but still can be interesting to a good part of my audience, I decided to write an overview post about them:
-Reivers - female-fronted hardcore punk from Oakland, CA, with members of Negative Standards. For a review of their LP, click here (don't think I can write it better). And here's a video of one of their live performances:
- Behold! - a socially conscious punk band founded by two members of Industrial Workers of the World in Chicago. Their guitarist defines their music as "heavy punk with some eccentric twists", and welcomes everyone who likes metal to check their debut album "The Alpha And The Omega" out. While I have a permission to post it here as a free download, I won't do it right now. Better to stream/buy it off Behold's bandcamp page instead.
- Final Effort - hardcore punk from Germany. Click here to download their debut 7-track album "Drowned & Resurfaced".
- Unquiet Grave - a band from Sheffield, featuring members from Army of Flying Robots, Cracked Cop Skulls, Unborn, Legacy. They play hardcore with crust/BM influence, and at least one of their members is a long time reader of my blog. Beside their first demo (recorded 2009, released on cassette 2011) they also recorded an EP called "Loose Tongues" (haven't listened to it yet). Check out their track "Avenues of Shit", it's probably the most "blackened" one on the whole demo.
- Emetic - hardcore/PV band from Montclair, NJ. Their vocalist is a supporter of my blog, and according to him, his father was among the founders of the RASH movement. "We are in the works of doing a split wit my other band DRIT... We try
and do slow and heavy stuff or fast chaotic stuff"
- Going Peacefully - hardcore punk with some BM influences from San Antonio, TX. Don't get fooled by their name, their stuff is pretty raw and intense.
- Soil - hardcore from Olympia, WA, friends of Anastatica. They started as a joke band, defining their genre as "gardencore", but then realized that they're capable of doing more serious stuff. Like most Cascadian bands, they have an ideology which is pretty close to eco-anarchism. Unfortunately their bandcamp page is blank now, and I can't find their album "To Wither" elsewhere, but I'll update this post if I find it.
P.S. Check out also the remastered version of "I:PRAEDICTVM" by Depravation, which was released a few days ago. The quality of production was improved a lot.
No Raza are a death metal band from Colombia whom I find interesting both musically and ideologically (well... if I correctly understood the text on their myspace page, their beliefs are fairly in the spirit of my blog). Colombian metal scene first caught my attention ~3 years ago, when I just have started my blog, and to my surprise, received a lot of feedback from Colombia. Honestly I was amazed by how politically/socially aware their metal scene is (here in the ex-USSR we couldn't even dream about that). By now, I'm getting much less visitors from Colombia than before, but I still remember a lot of cool bands coming from there, No Raza among them. Here's a video for their song "Llovera Sangre En El Barro" (although it isn't the best song on this EP, if you ask me):
Blackend Horizon (not "blackened", but "black end") is an one-man atmospheric/depressive BM project from Germany, started circa ~2010. Till, the founder of the project, is following my blog for at least 2 years, comes from a left-wing background, and is totally against the NSBM stuff. The first 4-song demo was recorded in 2010, but wasn't released (except for two songs which can be found on youtube) due to a very low quality of recording. Till has recorded two more demos since then, one of which I'm presenting to you right now. It consists of two tracks, the first one being a short acoustic intro, and the second - a 10 minutes long atmospheric BM piece. Be warned, though, that the quality of production still sucks a lot (especially the drums), as it was recorded using quite primitive equipment. Till himself fully admits it, but hopes that his future stuff won't sound too amateur-ish.
Martian Moth is a solo project of Black Vulture's guitarist. Honestly I'd recommend this release only to those who are really into very experimental stuff, as this mix of noise rock and DSBM doesn't sound like anything I've posted here before, including other Brazilian black/noise bands. BTW, Black Vulture have just released their new album, called "Depois Disso", which I haven't listened to yet.
P.S.; if you're into absurdist noise mixed with black metal and other unorthodox stuff like this, you may want to check out Brobdingnagian's newest EP "with/hisawfulteetH" (I personally still prefer stuff like on "Machines of Unrelenting Terror", though)
DIABLOP are a blackened crust band started by Pietaszek, the vocalist of Na Zewnątrz (old school punk band from Lipsko, Poland) and a (former?) member of another Polish punk band, Dzieci Gorszego Boga / Children of A Lesser God. According to myspace, now they're a duo. While they call their music "black punk", I personally feel they were much more influenced by grindcore and old school death/thrash rather than BM. You can download their album "Punks & Hell" here, if you're interested (password: "brak").
Aokigahara is an anti-nazi harsh noise project from Costa Rica, so far released one EP ("Absurd Humans", including two tracks from the earlier demo "14/88 Makes Me Laugh") and a split w/ Bloqueos:
"AOKIGAHARA
as a music project was born into Begotten's plans when i did some noise
tracks to the split Begotten-Melomana Distorsion, but quickly that
split turned more Droned and i left the "Noisy tracks" behind. Then i thought to make a
side project, a kind of twin-sister of Begotten so that's the way
Aokigahara borned, around November 2012. The original plan to
Aokigahara was to make only live performances in underground activities
to friends and few people, but, i have seen that the "Noise scene" in
Costa Rica is too... "closed-mind" to the noise perspectives of this
project, so i choose to leave the ideas of live performances to the
future and to work in some recordings. In this moment Aokigahara is working in a demo split with my other project "Begotten" to be released in the next weeks..."
P.S. It also worth mentioning that according to the mastermind of Aokigahara/Begotten, he really liked Møllehøj's demo.
This cassette, titled "5 Nails Into The Capitalistic Grave", was the first in a collection of demos from several Czech & Slovak anarchist harsh noise projects with abbreviated names, which was sent to me not long ago:
The project is called D.R.T.A.D.A. (as you'll see soon, all these anarcho-noise projects use abbreviations as names; don't know if it's purely Czechoslovak scene thing), and it's said to be one of the most well-known Slovak anarchist noise projects. Unfortunately it's defunct by now; this particular demo was released in 2003.
Check out also A.V.T.K.S.N.S., Czech industrial/noise one-man band from Orlová whose founder is an active anarchist, who also have played in many other projects: Hibakusha (crustgrind), Tupak Amaru (hardcore), Teh(A)nu (breakcore/punk), Elfarran (downtempo/dub), Tyranie Identity (folk-punk), Sedmá Generace (underground hip hop), Mechanicula (electro-punk) and Hledání (folk-punk). So far I've listened to two of his releases: "(A)" (2010, noisy remixes of old anarchist songs; didn't fully understand it, though), and "Odvrácená strana bytí" (2004):
The first cassette demo produced by one of my long-time readers from Murmansk, who considers himself an anarchist and 100% supports RABM. Looks like Murmansk is becoming the next hotbed of good anarcho-friendly bands (from crack rock steady to blackened crust and BM), after the nearby Petrozavodsk... The demo consists of one 16 minutes-long track and mostly features very minimalistic noise/drone with some "harsh" parts. Of course it's only the first attempt, but I think you'll find it interesting if you're into experimental anarchist (anti-)music of dark ambient/drone/noise/PE variety.
Maybe it's a little off topic (it's neocrust influenced by black metal, but I can't say it's really that "metallic" or "blackened"), but I think this band is interesting and should be on here. Unkind Revolt were a band formed in Moscow in 2004, who initially played standard anarcho-punk, but this 6-track demo features mostly neocrust/dark hardcore with female vocals, in the vein of Spanish school (Ictus, Madame Germen, etc.) Unfortunately they split up not so long ago, which is really sad - they had a great potential, and there aren't many bands like them here...
Since I still have problems with uploading big files (hope to sort it out by the next week, though), I'll continue to post videos. Here's an amateur clip for the track "The Unrest" by 100blumen, an anarchist power noise project from Germany:
While I'm sure there are more bands like this (I mean rhythmic noise, not just political digital hardcore/breakcore/etc.), here's the only more or less similar project that I could name from the top of my head:
While I'm not a big fan of such music in general, I'm listening to tPRoE for at least 4 years already. By the way, they made a lot of nazis butthurt by making this parody ;)
Since my blog appears to be one of the very few places providing information about very obscure scenes, such as African, I'll continue researching and writing about such scenes. African metal (and other sorts of extreme music) is probably one of the rarest things in existence. Of course I'm talking about sub-Saharan Africa (minus SAR), not Maghreb (if you want North African metal and punk, check out this blog).
Outside of Botswana and Madagascar, which have rock/metal scenes of more or less considerable size, all such bands can be counted by hands, and some of them obviously are fake: Infertile Surrogacy are most likely from the Basque Country, not Congo, no matter what they wrote in their profile; Rhawana from Malawi is likely to be fake to, as his photos are stolen from Lord Ifrit of Orisha Shakpana; Tanzania-based Giza Uchawi's "Kizuu" demo may be not a fake (see the cover scan above), but his music is nowhere to be found... Additionally, it's somewhat ironic that there's no black metal in the Black Continent, if Darkest Place (pic related) doesn't count. According to my only regular reader from Nigeria, it isn't even because of poverty and lack of access to music/instruments, but mostly because the people there are very, very superstitious. It seems to be quite true: at least the members of In Oath, the only known metalcore band in Kenya, appear to be very religious. And the other Kenyan metal band, Absence of Light, is in fact comprised of Indian immigrants, not the native Kenyans. However, there's still some interesting stuff of African origin which I haven't mentioned here before. Let's start with D-Fe, a tribal hardcore/deathgrind/whatever else band who claim to have invented their on style called "zwinx" (or "zwenks"). Yes, I know they're from France, but they still have African immigrants in their lineup, and their music is indeed unique. Their album "Rwanda", released in 2008, is probably the only concept album dedicated to the story of genocide in Rwanda, "an atrocity perpetrated by small men (and the petty local clergy of the Catholic Church), and a sacrifice made by the great ones" (c):
I also managed to find a handful of classic rock / hard'n'heavy African bands from the 70's, such as Ngozi Family (Zambia) and Nosey Road (Botswana), but the majority of them don't exist anymore. However, here's a traditional heavy metal band from Uganda, formed circa 2010, but sounding like it's from the late 70's / early 80s:
There's also a very strange band from Uganda called Vale of Amonition, which is playing some kind of freestyle doom/stoner rock. There are two of their songs posted on youtube, if you're interested. However, be prepared for the very lo-fi and experimental kind of sound (but that what you probably have in mind when searching for "African metal", right?..)
And finally, some more old school stuff, this time from Madagascar - Pharaons, a thrash metal band formed in 1989. All the lyrics on their only release "The Evil World" were strictly WWII-themed, but didn't condone the war in any way; however, they did use some Nazi imagery purely for shock value, akin to several Japanese speed/thrash metal bands of the same period (Rommel, Mein Kampf, Rosenfeld, Harkenkreuz, etc.):
Another release coming from Latin America - this time a split featuring two bands you're probably already familiar with (Ivpiter and Teenage Suicide). Don't think I can recommend it to everyone, but if you're into raw and noisy stuff (see their compatriots Vaba Marat for example), then it might be for you.
Mexico City-based crust/thrash metal band with misanthropic lyrics, formed in August 2012 and released their first 6-track demo by November'12. The band themselves claim their style to be "blackened punk/metal", but I think it's rather crust/thrash metal, somewhat similar to Motörized (another Mexican band whose debut album I posted here not so long ago).
Exmisja are an anarchist band from Gliwice, Poland, at least one of whose members is a reader of my blog. "Arche" is their third release - a concept album dealing mostly with the usual "black/green" topics. Warning: it doesn't sound like any metal at all, it's rather a mix of crust/hardcore and post-rock. Somewhat strange, but not bad at all. If you're unsure whether to download it or not, check out this video first:
A split album featuring two Sofia-based crust/grind bands, sent to me by Dan (Nelepa Brena).
The lyrics of both bands deal primarily with such problems as exploitation and how capitalism crushes the individual.
I'm posting it here mostly because the crust/grindcore scene is almost non-existent in Bulgaria (indeed, before listening to this split I didn't knew any Bulgarian crust, grindcore, or non-NS black metal bands at all), and this will help the Bulgarian scene to get more publicity in the punk/metal underground.
bandcamp / facebook / bigcartel / blog Fresh blood from Copenhagen. Demo consists of 5 numbered tracks and has a quite dark, gloomy atmosphere; the quality of production is reasonably low for a DIY cassette release.
"Prekurxor has nothing to do with the growing amount of nsbm bands and
fascist-sympathy attitude that is evident in the Singapore metal scene
and is only being spread around the d.i.y. hardcore punk and metal
community that are strictly anti racist, anti fascists and anti sexists"
...Well, I knew there's already a big RAC and NSBM scene in Malaysia, obviously inspired by the Western neo-nazi subculture (just with "WP" changed to "Brown Power"), so I'm not surprised to hear that it's happening in the nearby Singapore too. But now at least someone is standing up against such tendencies. If I understood correctly, Prekurxor is an one-man underground/DIY project from Singapore, inspired by both hardcore/punk and old school black metal. Lyrically, it's mostly critical of religious dogma, and also touches the topic of nuclear warfare and its horrors. "When All Light Dissipates" is his first cassette, released on
20th December 2012 by Halyu Hardcore Records.
After many years of activity, this blog is now put on hold since the majority of contributors have a lot of other important stuff going on in their lives. New music submissions should go to /r/RABM/ (note that the mods of /r/RABM/ don't have anything to do with this blog).
Most of the uploads here are band sanctioned. Anyway, if you for some reason don't want to see your music here, contact us using rabm (AT) gmx (DOT) com, and we'll consider taking it down.
Bottom note: there's probably a lot of broken English on this blog, since English isn't the first language for many of the contributors.
FAQ
Q.: Which kinds of music are featured on this blog?
A.: - (primarily) RABM or Red & Anarchist Black Metal: all kinds of black metal-related music charged with radical leftist (anarchist, libertarian socialist, eco-anarchist, etc.) political views. Some of the bands featured here may be not openly political, but all of them are RABM-friendly;
- blackened crust/hardcore/punk (only if it's openly RABM-friendly, or if it's just very good music; we have no intention to collect here all the blackened punk in existence);
- other kinds of political (anarchist, socialist, etc.) metal - death, thrash, post-metal, etc.;
- dark ambient, neofolk, industrial, dark electro, etc. - but only if it has some RABM-friendly ideology;
- regular punk/hardcore/crust, post-rock, conscious hip-hop, etc. - but only as a rare exception (so if you want to send us a demo in one of these genres, you're probably in the wrong place).
Q.: What are some RABM/blackened crust bands to start listening from?
A.: Here's an old compilation which I (B.K.) made in late 2009. Doesn't include a lot of good RABM bands that I didn't know of back then, but still recommended if you're new to RABM:
Q.: How can I support a particular RABM band with my money?
A.: Most bands nowadays have a bandcamp page, where you can but their stuff online (usually for an arbitrary price). It's the most convinient way to support the band. If your favourite band don't have a bandcamp or bigcartel page, try to find out in which distro you can find their albums/merch. Of course, go to concerts if you have such opportunity.
Q.: How can I offer my financial support to this blog, or the RABM movement in general?
A.: Unfortunately right we don't have an opportunity to accept donations, but we hope we'll be able to set it up soon.
Q.: What is the connection between black metal and hardcore/punk/crust?
A.: It's a well-established fact that the connection between black metal and punk scenes existed since the early days of BM (think Venom, early Bathory, early Mayhem and early Sodom on one side, and Amebix, Discharge and Axegrinder on another). Recently this mix of BM and hardcore punk got a new life in the form of blackened crust (thanks to Black Kronstadt / Iskra in first place). And don't forget about Cascadian black metal bands with their radical environmentalist ideology, often to the extent of radical eco-anarchism or "pro-nature/anti-humanity" ideas.
Q.: What's your main ideology?
A.: This blog is generally written from a position of anarchism without adjectives; however, the RABM scene is very diverse ideologically. Let us end on this, as this blog isn't quite a right place for purely political debates; if you want to learn or argue about anarchism/other ideologies, there's a lot of specialized FAQs/blogs/forums for you.
Q.: Isn't black metal supposed to be apolitical?
A.: Supposed by whom? I personally don't think so, but if you think that political awareness should have no place in "true" black metal, you can feel free to call the bands featured on here "blackened punk" or whatever you want. It should be noted, though, that a lot of these bands doesn't openly talk about politics in their lyrics, exactly because they think it wouldn't be suitable for black metal. - B.K.
Q.: Isn't RABM just an "answer" to NSBM?
A.: While RABM is definitely against NSBM and any other kind of far-right crap in metal scene, it's most emphatically a self-sufficient movement and not any kind of "answer to NSBM". Similarly, while RABM is 100% pro liberation from any kinds of religious tyranny, it isn't a movement against any particular religion (Christianity, Islam, or any other).
Q.: What's your opinion on Satanism?
A.: The so-called "Hollywood Satanism", which is often found in black metal, is, in our opinion, nothing more than inverted Christianity, so we aren't big on it. Many of us are simply atheists, pagans of all kinds, gnostics, etc. We also don't share the notion that only genuine theistic Satanists / Devil-worshippers can play "real" black metal (this would exclude such bands as Venom, Bathory, Immortal, Summoning, and many many others). Additionally, the very term "Satanism" is quite vague, and can't be narrowed down to LaVeyan Satanism (which is heavily disliked by many black metallers), or whatever else. LaVey had some good points, but in general his philosophy can be described just as "Ayn Rand with some occult tinge".
Q.: What about misanthropy and nihilism?
A.: To put it in short: we don't hate everyone and everything (and we don't think there's anyone who truly does). We just hate these traits of humanity which make true anarchist society most likely infeasible in the foreseeable future.
Q.: Collectivism or individualism?
A.: There actually is no "hard" contradiction between these two terms. Individualism is simply an outlook emphasizes the moral worth of the individual and its right not to be oppressed by the state or some social group. It doesn't contradict at all with standing up for your rights along with a group of like-minded individuals. It also worth noting that the early black metal scene didn't promote individualism that much (see "black metal circles").
Q.: Who coined the term "RABM"?
A.: Hard to say, but there's an apparent similarity to RASH ("Red & Anarchist Skinheads"). Here's the very first mention of "RABM" we could find (August 2005). The term was popularized by our last.fm group (and later - by this blog) since 2009.
Q.: Do you know the ideology of the band X? It isn't obvious if they're NSBM or not...
A.: Sorry, we don't know, do your own research. It's often hard to say anything certain about a band's views, if the members themselves aren't open about it. We also don't advice using various "lists of nazi bands" etc. as a reference, as most of them are full of bullshit. Similarly, forum posts or blog comments (especially anonymous ones) generally aren't a reliable source for anything. In one particular case, we had an anonymous comment claiming that the members of Timebomb are now playing in a fascist band called SPQR. Later it turned out that it were members of a completely other Italian band with a similar name (Timebombs). Hopefully that'd be a good example of how important fact-checking is.
Q.: I've seen some of the albums posted here in the same distro with some albums by right-leaning bands...
A.: Unfortunately it's often the case with distros and labels that distribute stuff regardless of its political affiliation. Even Austin Lunn of Panopticon complained about Pagan Flames (the label which released his "Collapse" and "Social Disservices" LPs) having NSBM in their distro, so things like these are just unavoidable.
Q.: Some bands on this blog have Burzum on their list on influences. Isn't Varg Vikernes a nazi?
