CRETINS - same EP

CRETINS were one of the first bands i got to know from hannover. i first heard their track "samen im darm" on the "jung kaputt spart altersheime" compilation (nasty vinyl), which is also on this ep and was covert by DIE ÄRZTE, a well known german punkband from berlin, on their "1, 2, 3, 4 bullenschweine ep".

than band was founded in 1979 and was one of the first punkbands in hannover. in 1980 this ep was released by the local NO FUN RECORDS label and rereleased by G-FORCE RECORDS from hannover in 2006 as a 12 inch with several unreleased bonus-live-tracks.

they had some line-up changes during their history and changed their style until they finally split up in 1989. some of the members were active in KALTWETTERFRONT, BLUT & EISEN and ARISTOCATS.

in 2005 they decided to go on with CRETINS, but i have not heard anything of them... have a look at their homepage.

BLUT & EISEN - schrei doch LP

BLUT & EISEN were one of the best early punkbands from hannover or maybe germany. their first lp "schrei doch" was/is quite different to all that other early german punk-stuff, because they had their unique style and they were very fast... not because they just wanted to be fast... they were able to play fast. the sound is really good for a record of that period.

on this record are so many excellent tracks. the lyrics were also different to the usual punk-lyrics... more cryptic.

this lp was released on one of the best and long-time-running labels in germany: WEIRD SYSTEM. it was first released in 1984, but it´s still available as a repress with the original cover artwork and inlay. so if you like it (i bet you will) than get it.

the band was founded in 1982 and split up in 1987. in 2002 they played one show at the 30th anniversary of the UJZ GLOCKSEE in hannover.

DESTRUCTION DERBY - demo tape

another inbreed band that existed from 2000 to 2001. they recorded only a demo-tape and played some shows. unfortunatly i never saw this band live.

the members played or still play in bands like: XAWARA, DISPLACED, MASCHINENFEST, NOVEMBER 13TH, CAVE CANEM... and all the other bands in this blog... harhar...

CAVE CANEM - three bullets 7´

ok. the newest CAVE CANEM release. on this single are three songs. one song was on the demo-tape, but we re-recorded it... quite difficult to write something about the own music. i guess it´s still hardcore. the sound is much better than on the demo.

it was released in summer 2007 by EPISTROPHY and my label PAIN OF MIND. we made 500 copies for the start...

AUDIO KOLLAPS / WOLFBRIGADE - split 7´

i noticed this band when i went on a punk show in wunstorf (near hannover). i´ve had heard of them before and knew that some members where in RECHARGE before, but they did not sound the same. it´s more grindcore or death-metal... nevermind. everybody seems to know this band.

i think they´ve recorded a new record, but it seems ages ago that they played a show... some of them play in other bands: FRANZ WITTICH and MAGNA MORTALIS.

WOLFBRIGADE. i think i don´t have to loose too many words about this hardcore band from sweden. nearly everbodys knows them and loves them...

again this piece of vinyl was released by EPISTROPHY! why not do a epistrophy blog... harhar... because i´ll be send to court...

PROFESSOR - academizer EP

now something obscure... PROFESSOR... i don´t know much about this band.
this ep was the first release of EPISTROPHY, a hardcore/punk label from hannover. it was released as a single in 1993 and was rereleased as a 3´ CD by TUMULT RECORDS from san francisco/usa in 2004.

the music? something strange. a mix of grindcore and blackmetal... i don´t know anything about the lyrics but it seems that they deal with studying...

one of the members played in FEEDBACK RECYCLING, SHITLIST, BAZOOKA JOE, NUMBFIRE, BURNED OUT and HANS MARTIN SLAYER (slayer cover-band) later on.

KLISCHEE - normalzustand LP

yeah! first "deutschpunk" post. KLISCHEE are a classic in the history of punk in hannover.
i could not find much on the internet about this band. so if someone has some more let me know.

i just know that this lp was released in 1981 on FROSTSCHUTZ. this label released a lot of other hannover stuff like BOSKOPS or the UJZ KORN LIVE compilation. in the folder are more tracks than on the lp. these tracks are from the "das war der wilde westen" single (released on DINGENSKIRCHEN in 1983).

one of the members played in ABSTÜRZENDE BRIEFTAUBEN... a funpunk band from hannover, which were quite popular. later on he joined RASTA KNAST & LEGAL KRIMINAL.

another member got fucked by drugs in 1990...

the original tracks on the lp were:
Normalzustand/Kein Hirn/Krieg in den Städten/Verboten/Wozu/Piefelreggae/Beamtentanz/Ich will hier raus/Schickeriaschweine/Bonzen/Nazis raus/In der Nacht/Ersatz/Heil Satan (Part 1+2)/Neonghetto/Schlag zu/Dalli dalli

INFAUST - muster LP

allright! it´s getting serious now... INFAUST are one of the best bands i know from hannover. they have been together for years. two of them played in HYPOCRITICAL SOCIETY before.

this is "just" a three-piece but it sounds like an army! this one is fuckin intense. slow and downtuned hardcore with a "slight" NEUROSIS influence.

"muster" was their first lp, released in 1997 by EPISTROPHY! these nine tracks will blow your stereo to bits. if you hate life and you were always searching for a soundtrack to it then hear this.

they also released a 12´ in 2004 and a split 7´ with CORRUPTED from japan.

AGGRA MAKABRA / DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP - split 7´

ok. the first post with music/bands not from hannover. so why? because i released this record on my former label.

AGGRA MAKABRA were from bremen (yes. they split up) and were quite active in their years of excistence. they first released a split lp with DISPLACED from hannover.

to me it seems that they had that typical bremen sound of that time just like KOBAYASHI or KOYAANISQATSI. bremen always has been a good try for it´s bands, because there are and were so many bands around... for example LOST WORLD...

DO ANDROIDS DREAM ELECTRIC SHEEP are from luxembourg and they are still around recording stuff and playing shows. i really like their mixture of screamo and hardcore (has there ever been a difference?) and some electronics in between... in some parts they remind me of AT THE DRIVE-IN... subjectivity...

unfortunatly i don´t have a scan of the artwork... but in fact a scan would not really show what´s the cover like. if you see this single you gonna buy it anyway... because the cover is unique...

METASYSTOX - discography

allright. here´s the discography (except the demo tape, which will come later on) of METASYSTOX. i first recognized the band through their demo, which i bought at a mailorder from hannover and which came with a classic copy and paste poster, which still is on the wall in my old room in my mothers house... i think she still doesn´t like it, harhar...

the band started around 1999 and had been together till 2002 or 2003... the members afterwards formed TOXIC AVENGER, SANITÄR and NOVEMBER 13TH. a good idea...










after their demo they released a single and a split single with RED WITH ANGER from göttingen on OI FREE YOUTH PRODUCTIONS and WOLF IM SCHAFSPELZ. all these songs are in the discography plus two live tracks.

KIDS OF THE BLACK HOLE - demo tape

another inbreed band from the gloomy rehearsal-rooms in hannover. again the same nerds as in CAVE CANEM & NOVEMBER 13TH... but don´t expect another crust or hardcore band. this is more punkrock like the old-school 80s us-stuff like ADOLECSENTS (gues were the name comes from, harhar) or WIPERS.

mid-tempo punk with two vocalists and slightly distorted guitars and psychodelic leads... hell yeah!

the tape was released on my present label PAIN OF MIND [www.pain-of-mind.com] together with SHOCK & AVE RECORDS from münster. it is limited to 200 copies (very few are left) with different cover-colours... again some shitty limitation for the nerds.

lyrics are about gettin fucked by life, cops and all that bullshit. for more information visit their myspace!

NOVEMBER 13TH / GRUBE & PENDEL - split 7´

another release on my former label end.of.silence from 2005. on this record are the two best songs recorded so far by NOVEMBER 13TH.
GRUBE & PENDEL (pit & pendulum) join with one track that sounds like NEUROSIS, and that is not bad at all. freaky guitars and a very own way of drums...
this is the first release of GRUBE & PENDEL. the band consists of (former) members of: INFAUST, HYPOCRITICAL SOCIETY, CAVE CANEM & TRIPSCOPE.

what else should i say except download it and if you like it buy it. i think there are still some copies around...

PIAZZA DROPOUT - 1st 7´

PIAZZA DROPOUT is a three-piece from hannover, hamburg & lübeck playing fast old-school hardcore just like HERESY or SIEGE did... when they were alive. so now they are dead. but who cares when there are bands like PIAZZA DROPOUT.

they recorded a demo tape which was later released as a seven inch by DPG RECORDS (cult label from hannover) and INSTITUT FÜR MENTALE HYGIENE. it was sold out very quick. i participated in the re-release with PAIN OF MIND. 300 copies will have a different cover. for all those record collectors...he.

the sound is rough, but it fits the music perfectly. the lyrics are about all that shit goin on in the world... punk lyrics.

TOXIC AVENGER - discography

yeah! TOXIC AVENGER are one of my favorit hardcore-bands from tromaville aka hannover. founded by members of DISPLACED & METASYSTOX and some other scumbags to show the tough hardcore scene what real hardcore is about, harhar.

they only released one seven inch and some complilation tracks. i put everything togehter... including a MISFITS coverversion of 138!

unfortunatly i only saw them live once... and that was their final show. but i never saw something like that... fuckin insane...

today the members are playing in NOVEMBER 13TH, TEENAGE ANGST & PIAZZA DROPOUT... hannover is fucking inbreed...

NOVEMBER 13TH - s/t LP

This hardcore three-piece has been around since 2003 and released a lot of stuff. i´ll start with their first lp, but the other stuff will come later on.

their music is often compared to stuff like TRAGEDY or HIS HERO IS GONE, but i never felt like that. of course there are similarities, but there´s some more to discover by listening to their songs.

the lp was released by several diy-labels from around germany, e.g. my former label end.of.silence and oi free youth produstions. 800 copies were pressed with two different cover artworks (for those who care).
these guys have been a little bit lazy with shows in the last months but they already made a tour in the uk, czech and poland.


they are all nerds in music and play(ed) in several other bands: TEENAGE ANGST, MAGNA MORTALIS, KIDS OF THE BLACK HOLE, METASYSTOX, DISPLACED & TOXIC AVENGER.

CAVE CANEM - demo tape

harhar... first music post and it´s the band i´m in... don´t take it too seriously. i think someone else should write something about CAVE CANEM, but this is my fuckin blog.


this is the demo tape recorded in winter 2005. it was released by EPISTROPHY [www.epistrophy.de] in summer 2006. i think about 500 or 600 were made and some copies should still be available.

the band started in early 2005 and still excists!!! we have some other releases, which i´ll post at another time.

the music is kind of downtuned hardcore... but i´m not about to loose that many words on a describtion. just download that stuff...
