No Greater Power s/t EP

I've been reluctant to put this up for some reason, I don't know why. Anyways here you go, No Greater Power's first ever EP containing 5 tracks.

No Greater Power s/t EP


Download NGP's s/t EP

Track Listing:
Intro
Lay 'Em Out
You Will Fall
Self Up
Caught Red Handed


No Greater Power is my first ever band that me and some mates formed in high school.

At the moment I'm not quite sure what's going on with NGP. We haven't played a show since November '08 I think, and haven't had a proper practice since long before then. We did have a jam a few weeks ago and almost finished a new song so I guess there's still hope for the good old N.G.P.



Check out my newer band, Buzzkill. We will have a demo out shortly.

The Deadline

The Deadline were a technical Metallic Hardcore band (the best i can describe them) from Wellington New Zealand.

The are yet another band i never actually got to see live, due to being too young or just being stupid.... a bit of both probably.


"A refreshing blend of punk hardcore, old school metal and chaotic dischordance. The last release upon their breakup" - From an Action Man Records(NZ HC label) poster that I have in my room.

Cathedra

Cathedra formed in 2002 in Palmerston North. Influenced by Lamb of God, At the Gates, The Black Dahlia Murder and Darkest Hour, they play dark yet melodic sounding style of metalcore.

I somehow have a bunch of their demos. I think I got given one in '05 by some dude at school who reckons that he's friends with Cathedra. I managed to get the other ones from their Myspace or some other internet source.

I know that two of the demos are the full thing but I'm not too sure about the third one? I duno. anyways here ya go. These guys are pretty badass if you like bands like At The Gates and The Black Dahlia Murder.

Every Man For Himself - Demo '04 or '05?

I first saw Every Man For Himself at a random show in a church hall.. This was in like 2005 I think. Anyway, since then they have evolved and changed so much and become so much better, tighter and more serious (lyrically and musically). I didn't get this demo from the show I first saw them at because I didn't have $2 on me... But I did end up getting it a few months later from Misfit Theater for $2.50. I love this demo, mainly because it has their best ever song on it, Ginge Crew...:P...which for some reason they refuse to play anymore. The demo is quite bad quality compared to EMFH's other releases, but I think it adds to the awesomeness of this release.

BLOODLETTING

Bloodletting....I remember seeing them at a random Dimebag Darrel Tribute show in '05 i think... playing a few Pantera covers and some originals... they reminded me of 8 foot sativa but not as melodic... I really can't remember I was dumb back then.. but I know that I was amazed at how good they were for dudes that were around my age at the time(15/16)

NOW they are sort of melodic death metal, with a heavy black dahlia murder influence. They've released I think two EP's, titled "One in the Breech" and "Force Fed Terror", both EP's have one track with a guest vocalist... funnily enough both times the guest vocalist is one of the 8 Foot Sativa vocalists (Their first EP, One in the Breech, it was Matt Sheppard,vocalist for 8 foot's "Breed The Pain" album and now is currently in Sinate.. and on the second EP, Force Fed Terror, it was Ben Read, ex Kill Me Quickly/Ulcerate, current 8 Foot vocalist)

Bloodletting formed in late 2005 and have gone through many line up changes since... so many in fact, that there is only one original member left in the band, Bassist, Josh. But because of their line up changes their sound has developed for the better... and with their newest member, Scott (He also drums in Leader To Ruin) they are sounding the best I've heard them.

So far they have supported a few international acts including: BEHEMOTH and THE BERZERKER.

Because Bloodletting are such good cunts, they have put their second ep, titled Force Fed Terror up for free download as well as their newest demo track containing guest vocals from the great Roger Moore (Grind Thugs)

You can buy Force Fed Terror for $10 from the band (their myspace page, I advise you to do this... mainly because the art works pretty cool plus having a hard copy of the shit you've downloaded and supporting the bands is pretty cool.

Put To Rest

To view Put To Rest's myspace page click here

Put to Rest were a young 5 piece metalcore band from west Auckland that formed in 2006(i think?) and ended in 2007. In their reasonably short existence they played with some sweet bands, released a demo/EP thingy and made a video clip (view on their myspace page)

I thought I'd add them because I'm sure a whole heap of people missed out on getting their EP, and they aren't around anymore.

So here's their EP for download.

Integrity

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.

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.)

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

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.
