V/A Ook Dit Is Belgisch 2 Tape

Already posted the first one, here's the second volume and I guess last one. Another snapshot of the late 80's HC/punk scene in Belgium. Quite a variety on different styles here.
Side A starts with M.A.D., with tracks taken from the demo tape I posted a while ago. Sounds quite muddy as the tape is a bit worn.
Next one is Funeral Dress when they were still a small band. They're quite known these days but I'll admit I'm not a big fan. Here they offer the 2 tracks from their debut 7" and an extra one. They even ended up on the Killed By Death 6 album. What a big mistake as the 7" was released in 1987!
Next are Mental Disturbance, crossover/HC band from Brussels.
Legal Suffering follows with 3 tracks of their demo tape (which I unfortunately don't have). As they were from Bruges, I knew these guys very well. These are songs from the 1st line-up. Legal Suffering would resurrect with only the drummer as original member and Mario "Marbels", ex-drummer for No Debt on guitar. The original vocalist sadly crashed with his motorcycle in the late 80's. Mario committed suicide in 2003.
Next one is Anti Dote, a speedmetal band from Bruges.
Chronic Death was a weird noisecore band. Later changed their name to Coda.
Side B starts with Cold Turkey. Don't have any info on them.
Vortex is next, wellknown veteran punkband.
Know absolutely nothing of Vladimir Et Les Aerosols. From Brussels?
My own band Chronic Disease follows with 4 short live tracks, early style.
Exhaustless Revolt was a political HC band from around Antwerp.
Capital Scum closes the tape with 3 tracks, of which the last one is called 'Michael Klakson' for some reason.

90 mins. tape split in 2 files.

The Shaved Pigs - Breakfast Is Served LP

Sorry for the long wait but I had some PC issues.
Haven't seen the debut album of NY's The Shaved Pigs on any blog yet. It's been requested on Down Underground a while ago where you can find their 2nd album 'Cheers'.
The Shaved Pigs remind me of some goofy version of the Dead Kennedy's. Some lyrics are a bit more serious though.
The Shaved Pigs' 1st release was a 3-track 7" in 1986. Quite rare. It has the song 'Dying In The Year 2000' which was re-recorded for this album. Don't know the other 2 tracks so maybe these can be found here as well.
After 'Cheers' follows the last release, the 'Big Brass Knuck' 7" on Vital Music in 1992.
'Breakfast Is Served' was also released in Holland on Shadowline (in a normal sleeve). My copy is the US version on Porcine in a gatefold sleeve.
'Slam' is their own version of The Isley Brothers song 'Shout'. Produced by Kramer (Shimmy Disc Records).

V/A 24 Love Songs Tape

1st comp. tape released by Smurf Punk Tapes out of Belgium. This tape was compiled by Mokka, one of the core members of the Smurfpunx Collective. This tape was released in 1985 and includes diverse HC punk bands from Europe.
I also have the 2nd comp. tape on Smurf Punk Tapes which I need to rip in the near future. Read about a 3rd one called 'Thrashing With Your Parents' but have never seen or heard of this one before.
Bands included are: Maniacs (BRD), SOD (Sweden), Political Asylum (Scotland, UK), Aktive Notwehr (BRD), Enola Gay (Denmark), Savage Circle (Italy), Bedrövlerz (Sweden), Disgust (Netherlands), Post Mortem (UK), Man's Hate (UK) and Dirty Scums (Belgium).
I guess the title of the tape is a pisstake on all those shitty comp. albums released in the 80's with so-called romantic love songs.

Reprobates - 2007 Demo

Reprobates were a short-lived HC band from Toronto, Canada. They recorded the excellent 'Stress' 7" for No Way Records in 2008 and then disappeared. They also delivered one song for the Stress Domain comp. 7" 'Sick Of Fun'.
Probably some members are doing other bands now but who can follow it all?
Here's the 2007 demo. 5 tracks of which 'Abandoned City' and 'Rat Maze' were re-recorded for the EP.

1. Abandoned City
2. Brainwashed
3. Falling Apart
4. Self Destruct
5. Rat Maze

M.A.D. - Bestial Force Demo '88

Here's an obscure cult band, playing some grindcore/deathcore. They were from the French part of Belgium, actually from Charleroi, one of the most depressing towns in Belgium.
Sean of Damaging Noise posted this one as well a few days ago. Seems that this demo was planned to be released as a split LP with Agathocles but it never came out. Didn't know that.
The initials stand for Mutilations And Death. The band was managed by The Phantom, an older guy who came to some of the Smurfpunx gigs in Aalst in the late 80's. From what I know, he was an obsessed collector of all kinds of underground extreme music. Most notable about him was that he has one arm.
Sean didn't have a sleeve so this one is included as well in the file. Also the backside with the lyrics which are pretty silly. But you need to know that French-speaking people aren't well versed in English.

Mutilations And Death

V/A Disgusting Noise Tape

Comp. tape with Belgian bands released in 1988. This one was compiled by Dirk Vanhees, a guy from Beringen. Was in touch with him for a while, together with his good friend Chris Vanhoudt. Don't know what happened to them later but I found a Myspace page of Dirk and he's into other stuff now.
All the bands deliver 4 tracks each; some sent in live recordings. I didn't seperate those. I scanned the whole sleeve so you can check the titles there.
Bands on Side A of the tape are Heibel (with live tracks from their 2nd album), Disgorge (tracks from their 1st demo), Ear Damage (again live but awful quality), Dawn Of Liberty (live) and Capital Scum (mix of live and studio tracks).
Sde B has Hate Crew (live), Chaotic Contrast (rehearsal recordings), Chronic Disease (live), Tyfoon (live: this is a metal band which was a bit dubious as I'm told. Won't judge but starting the song 'Gaschamber' with "This is a song about Adolf Hitler" doesn't help much) and Mental Disturbance (demo tracks).
This tape came with a booklet but that one is stashed somewhere and it would take too much time to search for it.
This is a 90 mins. tape so I split the file in 2 links.

United Super Villains / The Krammies - Split 7"

Very first vinyl recording for the great United Super Villains, or better known as U.S.V. Both bands on this 7" were from La Crosse, Wisconsin.
U.S.V. did a 7" on Havoc and the 'Chokeslammed Back To Life' LP on Deranged. Both aren't that difficult to get. The recordings aren't that powerful as on their their later releases but worth checking out anyway.
Don't know anything about The Krammies. They're not a bad listen but nothing special.
This 7" was released in 1997 on Punk House.

Chronic Disease - Who Will Pay The Price Of Our Disregard? Demo

I promised madmohawk (a good friend of mine) to post the 1st official Chronic Disease demo.
Well what to tell about them? Chronic Disease was the 1st HC band I used to be in. I did the vocals.
We started late '86 with a different line-up. It was Vrokker on bass, Sling on guitar, Wimpie on drums and me on vocals. We rehearsed in Wimpie's parent's garage. I remember the drums being a small jazz drumkit with no cymbals so we used sawblades instead! With this line-up we only did 3 gigs. The 1st one was at someone's father's garage working place with local speedmetal band Anti Dote and I think The Mushrooms played as well. The 2nd was at Sint-Laureins (Sentenaarke) were we managed to hunt the audience out of the room to go to the bar to listen to Metallica. You know this was in full metal cross-over period. 3rd and last was in Oostende opening for Capital Scum, a revised No Debt, Ear Damage and Bad Influence. Absolutely no response and also some skinheads looking for trouble didn't add for a joyful experience. Then Wimpie was forced to leave the band by his parents due to bad school results. We had another gig in front in Bredene with bands like Mad Noise, Crap Society & Disgorge. As we were playing quite fast stuff at the time, we asked the drummer of Disgorge to step in for this one as he was the fastest drummer we knew back then. actually he played way too fast for us!
Then Sling moved to play drums and we asked Meyer of local rockband Toespieze (of which Sling also played drums) to play with us. So we were settled with this line-up until the end of the band in 1992. We also started to make songs instead of noise. A tape with 2 live gigs (Oostende & Bredene) and some rehearsal recordings were made by us, mainly for our friends.
We went to do quite some gigs, even a few in Holland but never toured. Bands we played with: Hiatus, Vortex, Verdun, Membranes, ENT, Doom, Concrete Sox, Econochrist, Legal Suffering, Chronic Death, Mind Exit, Chaos UK, De Kift, Nausea, Rose Rose, Mental Disturbance, Spermbirds, Agathocles, Bambix, At Last (now After All), Scraps, Oi Polloi, ...
'Who Will Pay The Price Of Our Disregard?' isn't actually our 1st demo recordings.We recorded some songs in the Mol area, in some garage, but the tape got lost. Vrokker found a very lo-fi recording of this session on tape. Hell, I can't even remember the titles of some of those songs anymore.
This demo was recorded in Bruges with the help of Vanne on 4-track and was later re-released with a live recording (Bissegem) by Bruno (later of Genet Records) as a benefit for ALF-prisoners.
The tape came with an A4 xeroxed booklet with lyrics and artwork/collages. All our artwork was done by Sling. Can't find the booklet for the moment though...
We recorded a 7" for Innerforce (released in 1990) and also a mini-album, originally planned to be released on Genet Records but the DAT got lost. The song for the Profane Existence comp. came from that session as well.
Vrokker also played in the Wasted Bunnies, Pertotal, The Barjackers, Crapulius Ceasar and now Seized By Man.
Meyer didn't really have any band but as a schooled guitarplayer went to study jazzguitar. He joined Seized By Man recently to play guitar.
Sling played in Rise Above, Pertotal and now in Soulwax.
I played drums for Capital Offence, Private Jesus Detector, and guitar for 4 Minute Warning, Holefiller, Katastrophobia and now Ravaged.
Were we a political band? Yes we were but later on we tried to avoid the cheap sloganeering and simple views of most political bands.
Were we a positive band? In the early days, yes. This was the time of bands like Heresy and organizers like Smurfpunx who brought a really positive vibe into the punk scene. Later on it watered down, and with growing up, we had/have a more darker view on things. In the late 80's-early 90's, HC was more of a straight edge thing, while we felt we had more in common with bands like ENT or Nausea.
Were we a XXX band? No. Some members were straight, some for a short time. Later on we got more into drinking and smoking dope, except for Sling who stayed straight through the band's existence.
