Already old news but still thought I'd biff this up here.

These guys are currently one of my favourite hardcore bands and I'm so fucking happy I get to see them:D:D

From what I've heard of their newest album "Heavier Than Heaven Lonelier Than God" I didnt like as much as their other releases, mainly because it seems like they're trying to go down a different musical path than they were before. I'll give it another go and bare in mind that bands do tend to evolve and shit. haha.

so yeah... the dates...

Anchor Promotions presents Philadelphia's...
BLACKLISTED

16th July - VALVE BAR, WELLINGTON
17th July - WHAMMY, AUCKLAND
18th July - WARD LANE, HAMILTON
19th July - ELLEN MELVILLE HALL, AUCKLAND*

All shows $15, Supports & more details tba.
*All shows r18 except 19th July @ Ellen Melville Hall




I'm going to be attending both Auckland shows and hopefully the Hamilton one. You should attend as many as you can! get a good name for New Zealand, so more international bands will want to bring their asses over here.

If you haven't yet heard Blacklisted yet, go buy one of their albums or even just check out their shit on their Myspace page... You won't be disappointed.

Integrity aren't a NZ band, but they are fucking awesome!

They have put three of their albums up for free download on their myspace. So I thought I'd put them up here as well for the hell of it.

Force Fed Trauma

(click here for FFT's myspace page.


From FFT's Mypsace - 'Force Fed Trauma formed in mid 2007, They aimed to bring out a form of death metal influenced hardcore/metal which was something lacking in the Auckland hardcore scene. Bands influence them from the likes of carnifex, suicide silence and annotations of an autopsy mixing death metal into metalcore to form the own style of music being referred to as 'deathcore'. Force Fed Traumas Ep will drop mid 2008 and will make a mark through the New Zealand scene. Already signed to former guitarists label 'death eclipse productions' Force fed trauma have already stated pre production. Force Fed Trauma aim to be one of New Zealands most brutal acts. Already making a name for themselves with an array of shows Force Fed Trauma look to be playing all around New Zealand with their own aggressive form of metal, their shows are raw and aggresive. Look out for them.'

This band has blown up hard! only starting in mid 07 and playing their first show towards the end of '07, they already have an EP on the way which has been recorded and produced all hardout and shit(haha I can't think of anything better to say here), and a professional logo, designed by Steve of Annotations Of An Autopsy myspace.com/sewermouthsteve.

They've improved heaps since their first show, especially JoshVC(Vocals) who's voice has evolved so much and continues to every time I see them play. Even having a few line up changes and currently not having a bassist hasn't slowed them down at all. They've had shows galore since they started and probably will continue to throughout their existence. They have caught the attention of many in the Metal and Hardcore scenes because of their unique (to NZ) sound, making it easy for them to get on the bill for any "heavy" show.

Look out for these guys, they're going to be huge.

PLAY A FUCKING DYING FETUS COVER YOU DICKS!

Grind Thugs

Download Tracks

Grind Thugs is a roothless unstructured, improvised, goat raping grindcore band from Auckland.(I'm really not sure if we are still playing shows or not). I was/am the drummer (I had never played drums till Grind Thugs and will not unless it's for Grind Thugs).

We would hijack shows and parties with bands playing and basically thrash the shit out of the gear provided. often we were too drunk to care what was going on. We recorded a few improvised tracks in my basement and one at the infamous show/party flat, Necropolis.

LEADER TO RUIN

Leader To Ruin....

FUCK.

These guys have come a long way from back in the "Guevara" days at Selwyn College.
Leader To Ruin are easily one of my favorite bands to see live, play with, or even to come out of NZ. Their sound has a real Lamb of God mixed with Meshuggah feel to it, with some other shit mixed in there. They are probably the most drunk/"what the fuck are they on" band I have ever seen....EVER

Check them out live if you ever get the chance, it is worth it. (they don't play that many shows anymore so catch them when you can!)

I also put a whole lot of their songs up for download, and a link to their myspace page.)


(ps I am 4 woodys and a few beers down when writing this post)

Myanmar Relief Show

A Myanmar relief fund raising show is being held on the 27th of may at Ellen Melville in Auckland. I've heard there will be a donation box so bring extra coinage. It will be a fun as show and its for a good cause! what more could you want?

Perverse Suffering

(Click image to view Myspace page)

(taken from their myspace page)
"Perverse Suffering is a five peice Auckland progressive deathcore band. With influences from the legendary death metal kings 'Cannibal Corpse' To New Zealand's own hardcore outfit 'Kill Me Quickly'. Perverse aims to write brutal music with strong meaning. The lyrical theme being based on horrific/sickening tragedies that take place within and out of New Zealand."


Perverse Suffering are a new(ish) Metalcore/Grindcore band from Auckland. Most of the members are around 16 years old. I've seen them play a number of times and each time has been better than the last.

First impressions of the band is that the vocalist (David Crowe) looks like a 12 year old and probably sounds like one too... then he starts to scream.

These guys are pretty decent for a new band, both lyrically and musically.

Perverse Suffering will be releasing a 5 track EP "Within the month" according to bassist, xKramerx.

No Greater Power

Download

No Greater Power is my band. We formed in '05, playing Black Sabbath, Misfits, Ramones etc covers. Our first few songs we wrote turned out to be Hardcore/Metal and that's what stuck.

I've uploaded a few of our first recordings, recorded in late '05 or ealry '06 through various ways. They're really shit quality and so on but I just thought it'd be fun to share some songs we don't play any more, some that we have never played live and some we still play.

NGP is currently recording an EP. It should be out in a month or so.

FUCKING HAI!

I decided to make this page mainly to promote young metal/hardcore/punk bands in New Zealand. I want to put up demos/EPs for download and advertise/review shows etc, well as some other shit. I am also willing to do artwork/designs for t shirt designs, album art and show posters (but only when i have time).

For any bands wanting to be put up on here, or if you think any I should put up a band here, give me an email at ahnand.unka@hotmail.com or a message on my myspace page
