Well, a new year and finally some time for a new post. This time out we've got some seriously twisted HC from the U.K.
Stalingrad played very sludgy, metallic hardcore. Not really "metalcore" so to speak, they had a sound of their own - plodding but groovy and heavy as hell. This band featured members of Disaffect, Hard to Swallow and other UK HC luminaries of the time and guest vocals on this record include members of Doom and Voorhees. This is Stalingrad's one and only Lp; they had a few 7"ers, splits and a final 10" before calling it quits in the early 2000s. Amongst the heaviness, insane vocals and general vitriol, this record features a killer take on Lynard Skynard's "Simple Man" which may give you an idea of where this one is coming from. Definitely worth a listen...
Stalingrad - Patty We Kind Of Missed You On Your Birthday Lp
Happy new year.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a way to start it. Stalingrad are among best and heaviest bands ever. I love them. I've posted their two 7"s, but now you can find them and couple more releases (maybe all?) on Am I Mean? blog. There's link to it on my blog.
Awesome!
Saw them in Germany a decade ago. Their singer was going mental, bashing on a keyboard, screeching. Apparently, their drummer just vanished one day. Hope Russ, their guitar player, is still keeping it real at the 1in10 in Bradford.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Axel.
Thanks guys!
ReplyDeleteAwesome band and album. Had a long chat with Rich the vocalist after a gig in Durham and he's a very nice chap indeed, not the nutcase you'd assume. If you didn't know, they morphed into The Devils and released "How I Learnt To Stop Worring & Forget The Bomb" on In At The Deep End... you can't go wrong with songs like "Don't Rape My Dear Papa And Then Rub Your Penis In My Face"
