Full Of Hell's New Album Is On Bandcamp For 'Name Your Price' Via A389!

FULL OF HELL, one of the most exciting powerviolence/noise/HC bands out there right now, are currently offering their new album, Rudiments of Mutilation, for any price, starting at free. This is via the A389 Records bandcamp page.  Whether you're unsure about getting into the second album, or are new to the band, this is a great opportunity to dig into what is one of the most unreserved and cathartic expressions of human suffering.

*Note  - This will only last through the week!*
If you like it, please support the band. The physical LP has a sick colorway.

Further Left For Dead/Chris Colohan Updates




In case you have been living under a rock... Chris Colohan is kind of a big deal in the hardcore scene. He's been the driving force behind such past and present bands as Haymaker, Left For Dead, The Swarm, Cursed, Countdown to Oblivion, Ruination, Burning Love, and more. Left For Dead recently reunited for the second time since the 90's, and they recently put out a reissue through A389 Recordings. Now, according to their blog plans to continue on have fully come to fruition.

I am re-blogging/hyping this, after the jump...

Sometimes when discussing music, whether it's a fan, or the musicians themselves, a lot of micro-genres are mentioned as influences or descriptors of the sound...

S.H.S. Label Spotlight - A389 Recordings


S.H.S Label Spotlight

     A389 Recordings was started around the year 2004 by Dominic Romeo in Baltimore, formerly of the bands Slumlords, Pulling Teeth, & more. Although today it's one of the top labels for hardcore fans and record enthusiasts, Dom started it much like many other great DIY labels... just to get his friend's bands some exposure. Even after over 120 releases, the man still runs things entirely by himself...  with two children and a day job to boot. I discovered A389 only a couple years ago, mostly through love of the band Pulling Teeth, and the label's increasing visibility on the web helped too. I have always been drawn to heavy hardcore with occult imagery, such as Integrity, and its no surprise that Dwid Hellion contributes quite a bit to A389 on top of his own endeavors. 

     Coming across A389 was intertwined with my then new-found obsession with collecting vinyl. Dom recognizes that in the 'digital age' certain things are lost and recognizes the charm of physical media. I applaud his respect for getting each band's complete expression appreciated in the truest sense. This means a record to hold, and listen to, from start to finish, in the order it was meant to be heard. Large artwork, to give your imagination a starting point, and a lyrics insert, so you can fully dive into each song before seeing the band perform live. Digital downloads are included as an extra, as they should be, for convenience of listening on the go after absorbing the record initially. Eschewing major-label faux mystique, all of the albums he puts out can be previewed right on the A389 official bandcamp, so you know exactly what you are purchasing.

New Young And In The Way

Blackened Crust/Hardcore group "Young And In The Way," from Charlotte, NC has released a new track from their upcoming split with Withdrawal. I saw YAITW perform for the first time at the A389 records showcase last January. They were excellent and had quite the stage presence as well. Whether you are just getting into them now, or have been a fan for a while, you have to be excited that they are not only planning to release this split, but another with Mortal Void and also a full length this year. Check out the tracks and a video of them performing below.
