  NEW LABEL SIGNINGS!STRONG INTENTION - Razorblade Express EP (Out June 2012)Maryland bands never fall short on extremity. Since the mid-‘90s STRONG INTENTION have been punishing the underground with their own blend of New York-influenced hardcore breakdowns and blistering grindcore. Their unique sound has allowed them the longevity to play out and tour with such undisputed acts as Cripple Bastards, Disfear, Phobia, Extreme Noise Terror, Rotten Sound, D.R.I., Lock-Up and Misery Index, among others over their extensive career… and they’re just getting started.STRONG INTENTION have an extensive back-catalog of releases behind them and their latest slab of audio discontent is hardly an exception. Entitled Razorblade Express, the six-track behemoth features a bass work by Cattle Decapitation’s Derek Engemann as well as a guest appearance by Eyehategod frontman Mike IX Williams on the title track and “3rd Space Gorilla Generator.” With the first press limited to just 500 copies, this isn’t one to sleep on. Give me vinyl or give me death!Comments SI founding frontman Zac Ohler: “It’s been far too long since we put out a record, so having these six songs of ‘no hope/no future distort’ released by a killer label and having long time friend Mike IX join us in this act of terrorism seems to be the perfect fit. It’s time to rise and grind!”Razorblade Express will be released via PATAC Records on June 1, 2012.Razorblade Express Track Listing:1. Razorblade Express (featuring Mike IX Williams)2.

Containing thirteen no-holds-barred and vitriolic as heck anthems, Revilers builds on the EP’s (Isolation, Stand or Fall - both on Patac) the band have released previously and fully realises their stance on the world and how these individuals see it.Featuring words spat by two vocalists, JH and S (who can also be found wielding a guitar each), Revilers take a firm approach in their punk rock sensibilities and whilst this is a band with something clear to say, that message is never forced down your throat. A lot of politically charged bands are inclined to do that and it’s refreshing to hear a young band taking their time with their points and letting them seep into your subconscious rather than stomping them all over your face. As such, Revilers can be enjoyed on two levels - as a fast paced, crazy good fun punk rock record, or as an album with that something extra to say. “No Bullshit Reactor,” “Quit My Job” and “Sick Of Being Sick And Tired”  hiding a deep dislike of “the man” behind the always welcome gang vocal chant and the occasional guitar solo - not often heard in this genre.Revilers certainly have something with this debut and never seem afraid to cross the expected boundaries. Throwing in slightly slower moments in “All Ages” or the guitar flourishes in “Negativity,” they are finding their voice in a fairly saturated market. Revilers definitely rocks hard. - Scenepointblank.comBLOWFLY: BLACK IN THE SACKBorn on Valentine's Day, 1939, Clarence Reid worked in the cotton fields of Georgia as a boy. He passed the time by singing dirty parodies of popular songs - "Do the Twist" became "Suck My Dick" - and when his grandmother heard what he was doing she exclaimed, "You're a disgrace to the human race, and no better than a Blowfly!" And so a legend was born.When he was 13 he hitchhiked to Miami to pursue a career in music. Clarence began singing at local record "hops" where he met many of the people he would work with throughout his career. In 1964, in exchange for studio time, he worked stacking records in the warehouse of TK Records, run by recording legend Henry Stone.By the late 60s Clarence had become the central figure in the growing Miami soul, funk and R&B music scene, writing, producing and performing on countless tracks. He wrote and produced the #1 R&B hits "Clean Up Woman" for Betty Wright and "Rockin Chair" for Gwen McCrae, and he wrote KC & The Sunshine Band's first hit, "Sound Your Funky Horn" (their first gig was at Clarence's wedding).In 1965 Clarence recorded the world's first rap song, "Rap Dirty", an epic story of Blowfly as a truck driver, driving coast to coast and battling the KKK in a redneck bar - that particular song wouldn't be released in the US until 1976 but it firmly cemented Blowfly as a pioneer in rap and hip-hop - and in 1971 he unleashed Blowfly on the world and released the first full-length Blowfly album, "The Weird World of Blowfly".Since then Clarence has written, produced, and recorded hundreds of songs, including the Blowfly classics "Porno Freak", "Shake Your Ass", "Hole Man", "Funky Party" and "Suck It". His career has outlasted all his contemporaries, the disco era and TK Records, the label powerhouse that was his home for over ten years. Blowfly continues to record, tour - in 2008 he played in front of the biggest crowds of his career - and show the world how weird it really can be.Now, in

This brand-new 12” is due out in September.  According to FISTULA ringleader Corey Bing, “It’s very dark and sad,  twisted humor, dense, heavy, tuned LOW. It sounds like The Hounds: old  metal, Venom style with GBH undertones. It sounds like Death playing  hopscotch with the apocalypse while finger-bangin’ Autopsy.” The  six-song record features the band’s trademark sickening guitar tone,  agonized vocals, and wretched attitude, worshipping as always upon the  bloodstained altars of Celtic Frost, Winter, EyeHateGod, and Buzzoven.Following in FISTULA’s long-running tradition of all-out chaos and  confusion, the Loser EP features an updated lineup – a nasty cast of  characters drawn from the likes of Anal Cunt (drummer Nate Linehan) and  King Fire Goat (Steve Barcus, vocals) alongside the OG members.At the heart of Fistula are guitarist/main man Corey Bing (who sings,  plays guitar, and/or drums on some releases, depending on who’s flaking  out at the moment) and bassist Bahb Branca, the toxic twins of sludge  metal, blood brothers who have been to hell and back together. They  started the band in 1998, and live a little cave in Cleveland, Ohio  called The Fistula House. And, yeah, being the good guys in a world of  shit, they have problems. We won’t name names, but a quick look at these  guys’ lives over the last year, and it’s like the kind of shit you’d  hear at a 12-step meeting. Divorce. Dependency. Depression. Destruction.  Shit just got worse. Some people hammered away at Fistula like they  were trying to make ‘em quit. But they didn’t. The band is back. Holy  shit, are they back.“We had our ups and downs,” says Bing. “But shit is ON.”<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>'Loser' sounds a lot like the Mimi Bobeck character. "Fat and ugly""grinding sludge played with reckless abandon. Nothing pretty whatsoever. ""The slow bits are like getting kicked in the head by steel-toed boots.  The faster pieces are like kicking some other poor yob in the head."-Metalstorm.net"whiskey-soaked, bong water-infused sludge, but here’s the twist – it’s also straight punk, almost d-beat at times."-CVLTNATION"a beautiful train wreck of malicious sludge and I absolutely love it.""Crushing, aggressive sludgy filth. That is what Fistula boasts and that  is exactly what they deliver. I can ask for nothing else."-AMERICAN AFTERMATH"Expect Eyehategod/Buzzoven mixed with Anal Cunt, early Napalm Death,  Autopsy/Winter/Coffins... it's a clusterfuck of low end metallic muscle  that'll be about as gentle as a brass knuckle enema."-HELLRIDE MUSIC"a true hybrid of such genres right down to every detail, rather than the  chop and change method adopted by many. Fathered by grind and nurtured  from a cynical mother of sludge, this release reeks of qualities of both  in a distinctive yet regal fashion."-GRIND TO DEATH"doesn't necessarily sound like you're picking up some fine piece of ass  at a club, rather some blown out, cellulite-covered white trash  motorcycle mama who happens to have your name, and plenty of others,  tattooed on her ass. It is horrendous. It is foul. It's goddamn awesome."-THE INARGUABLE"Cleveland, Ohio has produced some of the best metallic hardcore in the  universe. Bands like Integrity and Apartment 213 have solidified the  town’s reputation as a breeding ground for the dark and brooding side of  punk. Fistula is no exception. With a much more sludgy, down-tempo  approach to hardcore, Fistula have crafted a really interesting musical  portrait in Loser"-DOOMMANTIA"Foul, dejected, inhuman.  There are a plaethora of adjectives that go into the sound of a record by Cleveland doom killers Fistula, downtrodden, face in the gutter doom"-BROOKLYN VEGAN"With this EP, the band has captured the sound of merciless degradation  in glaring, horrifically pleasing clarity. Haunting at times, violent  and deadly at others, <i>Loser</i> is the sound of sanity crumbling to  dust. The sound of the death knell ringing in our ears. If what “they”  say is true…if the end is truly near, then these guys will quite  possibly be playing the farewell party. The record’s title must surely  be a nod to the band’s detractors, because Fistula are most definitely  winning the battle!!"-FORBIDDEN MAGAZINE"This is nasty doom sludge. It reeks of death and is covered with  maggots. "Loser" as it is is fueled by the four "D"s- Divorce,  Dependency, Depression, and Destruction. That has been Fistula in a  nutshell this last year so its no wonder "Loser" is as shit-faced ugly  as it is. This stuff doesn't so much play on your speakers as creep out  of them waiting to dissolve you in it's putrid, toxic waste. Approach  this one
