Swans - Cop / Young God (1984)
Mp3 @ 192 kbps -69 MB
This CD combines SWANS second LP ("Cop") and an EP, both released around 1984. The music on these releases is a slow, droning, minimalistic, industrial sludge. It is like Black Sabbath or Black Flag slowed down ten times and played more intensely. Michael Gira's lyrics are filled with extreme images of dominance, humiliation, abusive power relationships, violence, and overconsumption. The imagery is so extreme it almost becomes comical. My interpretation of these lyrics--regardless of Gira's intention--is that they accurately portray all the damage that patriarchal social structures do to their victims. Sample lyric: "You're my father. I obey you. You know what I am. I want you to kill me. I'm weak." In my mind, these are the same types of feelings that are internalized by children raised in extremely shame-based authoritarian familial structures. Gira did a great job making this type of abusive power imagery into art on the first several SWANS releases during the mid-1980s. The stark, solid-block colors of these early album covers made for great visual art too. I saw the SWANS live several times in the late 1980s and they were intense. I still think these early albums have some powerful artistic moments. "Filth" and "Cop" are good introductions to SWANS sound and M. Gira's lyrical violence.

Junior Boys - Last Exit (2004)
Mp3 @ 192 kbps -70 MB
ALast Exit was preceded by two 12" releases that were strategically placed in the hands of critics/bloggers who were likely to be open to Junior Boys' sound — a mishmash incorporating parts from numerous styles and countless artists while being evasive enough to prevent dismissive accusations of plagiarism. The slippery tendencies left the releases open to several elaborate rounds of "spot the influence" on the part of the writers, all of whom were successful to some extent. Call the group bedroom dance-pop, a boy band conceived by The Wire, sophisti-pop as produced by Germany's Timbaland analogue — whatever. The group's ability to synthesize so many elements with such subtlety really isn't their greatest asset; it's that their music can be enjoyed with or without all of the analysis and context, whether you're tucked inside a snowbound outpost or winding your way through some vast metropolis during nighttime. Several Last Exit highlights come from the teaser releases. "High Come Down," "Birthday," and "Last Exit" run on sparse skitter-beats, elliptical keyboard prickles, and endearingly vulnerable vocals, and they're all coated in a compound of arctic frost and stardust. "Under the Sun," however, is a guitar-driven detour into shadowy atmospherics, trailed shortly thereafter by new song "Teach Me How to Fight" - the group at their prettiest and most touching thus far. The difference between the two songs illustrates the group's second greatest asset - their ability to be alluringly aloof, only to bring you to your knees with something wholly heartrending. If you like your pop a little left of center and found the Postal Service to be too cute and syrupy, your fix is here. And, just as a point of order, Junior Boys' use of synthesizers and drum machines — unlike a lot of groups and producers these days — is a lot more contemporary than past-obsessed.

Majesty Crush - Fan Ep (2002)
Mp3 @ 192 kbps - 40 MB
Detroit's Majesty Crush specialized in lush, dreamy guitar rock of the Galaxie 500/shoegaze variety, but gave it a nasty twist: a fascination with pornography and stalkers. The four-piece band (with inaudible connections to the city's techno scene) suffered from singer David Stroughter's habit of restraining melodies to one or two notes, but the rhythm section of bassist Hobey Echlin and drummer Odell Nails III (both ex-Spahn Ranch) was surprisingly powerful, and Michael Segal's guitar kept everything shimmery and lovely-no matter how dark the lyrical vision.
The Fan EP starts off with Majesty Crush's nominal anthem, "No. 1 Fan," a love song of the sort that inspires restraining orders; in the chorus, Stroughter breathily intones, "I'd kill the President for your love." The four other songs are slow, whooshy and of a piece, including a re-recording of the band's first single, "Sunny Pie," an ode to a check-out clerk at an X-rated bookstore.

Xasthur - The Funeral of Being (2003)
Mp3 @ 192 kbps -80 MB
XASTHUR, a band that brings tears of joy to my eyes; seriously, it’s hard to bring Malefic and his artwork up around me: I may start to sob. XASTHUR has been at the forefront of the American Black Metal movement along with JUDAS ISCARIOT, LEVIATHAN, KRIEG and GRAND BELIAL’S KEY. Malefic took the one man band route and started XASTHUR with a sound that was reminiscent of a combination of BURZUM (of course), MÜTIILATION and THE CURE.
“Funeral Of Being” in my opinion is the weakest of all the XASTHUR albums, but that’s a lot like saying the Atom Bomb is weak compared to the H-Bomb, it still destroys anything around it and leaves the area clear for years. “Funeral Of Being” has some of XASTHUR’s more aggressive material, with more blast-beats, double bass and overall drum work than “Nocturnal Poisoning” before it and “Telepathic With The Deceased” after it.
One thing I really do love about “Funeral Of Being” is the atmosphere, although it is more aggressive, “The Funeral Of Being’s” atmosphere is ridiculously somber and dark, the muddy production provides a ethereal and organic feel to the whole album and really gives the feeling of utter hatred and complete isolation. Songs like “Tyrant Of Nightmares” pound away with blast beats and quickly shift to a humming melody leave the listener gasping for air, while the following song “Intro” (done on the third track) is unnerving and disturbing with reverse melodies and piano chords.
Another great succession of songs would be the back to back “Blood From The Roots Of The Forest” 2 & 1 (yes out of order, I didn’t mess up...yet) these songs are two of the most ridiculously atmospheric songs ever, especially “Part 1” a haunting melody of creeping death, that’s what that song is like. The best track on the entire album has to be “Reflecting Hateful Energy” with its amazing riff, haunting passages and utterly tortured vocals, a ridiculous song with some of the scariest vocal performances ever: simply divine, pure unadulterated evil energy. “Outro” is a continuation of the first two “Intro” with the piano and the cello and reverse melodies, truly a great way to end the record.
Now, it may seem like I only have praises for this album and that’s really true, while it is the weakest XASTHUR record, it is still some of the finest Black Metal ever made, if your new to XASTHUR, then this isn’t the album to get, try “Telepathic With The Deceased” or “Nocturnal Poisoning” but for fans of Ambient Black Metal or XASTHUR at all this is mandatory, KILLER! .

Xasthur - Suicide in Dark Serenity (2003)
Mp3 @ 192 kbps -61 MB
This album is one that accompanied a period of time when someone close to me was succumbing to illness and dying. For me, this album breathed desolation and wild hatred into my soul... I have nothing but praise for this album. Xasthur's earlier work is where my loyalties lie, those albums being more recognizably evil and psychologically demented.
Suicide in Dark Serenity has a submerged quality which makes it seem as though the listener is being drowned slowly in a stagnant creek in cold and pitch blackness. The drums have a throbbing quality which can lend the music a certain brutality at times though this is definitely not the overlying mood of the album.
If one is feeling sickening hatred for the world and the human way, this album washes the consciousness into oblivion and slices pieces from your mind; ultimately this album after an entire listening takes the life out of you.
The riffing is droning and the synths accentuate the desolation; the vocals are sometimes indistinguishable from all the other swirling noise that constitutes the bleak sonic scape.
If you had to choose several Xasthur albums to listen to, I would recommend (in order) Suicide in Dark Serenity, Nocturnal Poisoning, The Funeral of Being, and A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors.

Xasthur - Nocturnal Poisoning (2002)
Mp3 @ 192 kbps -92 MB
2002, XASTHUR released “Nocturnal Poisoning” on the unsuspecting Black Metal crowd and changed American Black Metal forever. Arguably the greatest debut album ever, and my personal favorite, “Nocturnal Poisoning” broke new ground with its ethereal, driving force, buzzing guitars and tortured vocals. Malefic took inspiration from the masters MÜTIILATION and BURZUM, and added his own tortured touch to the Black Metal styling.
The album opens up with “In The Hate Of Battle” a slow, keyboard driven piece with some of the most haunting melodies and ferocious vocals recorded. The monotone of the guitars melded with the keyboards to create and atmosphere akin to be suffocated, the production made it even mo so. “Soul Abduction Ceremony” is a slower piece, with a guitar driven lead, moving into a furious and hellacious scream and then into a soothing guitar piece once again, truly frightening music here!
The now infamous “A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors” made its third (of about a million) appearance(s) and perfected the use of Malefic’s voice as an instrument of its own, only creating disturbing shrieks in the background, adding pure terror to the release, a highlight of the album and US Black Metal as a whole. “Black Imperial Blood” (a MÜTIILATION cover) doesn’t even feel out of place, it’s like Malefic wanted to pay homage to the forefathers, and did it so well.
This leads us to what is probably my favorite track on the album, “Legion Of Sin And Necromancy”. This song must be what Hell sounds like, quickly moving from peaceful tranquility to utter chaos at the drop of a hat, with Malefic screeching his brains out as if his lungs didn’t belong in his body and he needed them out. This song is an 11 minute monster that lurks beneath the subtle waves of “Nocturnal Poisoning” only to come up to feed on the weak, honestly, this is one of the best songs, creating an atmosphere that is almost too much to bear.
And again we are hit with another fantastic track, “A Walk Beyond Terror”, pure genius and utter beauty wrapped in the package of filth and the blackest of Black Metal. Reverse melodies, crazy piano work and utterly insane vocals. PURE AND UTTER HORROR! That is the only sentence to define this song; it’s too much, too much. The title track is again, with no surprise, phenomenal, the production on this song changes slightly, focusing more on the vocals and keyboards, which is another thing to mention, the vocals on this song seem nonstop, like a stream of chaos, confusion and death. To quote Charles “I imagine if Lucifer himself would be caught on tape his raspy voice would sound similar to this recording.” No truer words have been said.
“Forgotten Depths Of Nowhere” brings this nightmarish journey to an end, with beautiful and monotone keyboards, repeating the same lulling melody over and over, to relieve the listener from the physically and mentally trying experience he just took.
Now normally I really do not like track by track reviews, they seem a little amateurish to me, but the sheer immense power of this release mandated that every song be justified in itself. Malefic can do no wrong, and even this early in his career, he showed that he was the Blackest of them all. “Nocturnal Poisoning” stands as a benchmark for modern Black Metal as a whole, and one man metal bands to come, from the vocal style that has been mimicked since, to the utter chaotic nature of the music, XASTHUR is and will be: the end all be all in Black Metal. The question isn’t if you can handle XASTHUR, but if you’re worthy.
