Born/Dead-The Final Collapse (2007)

Reading reviews of Born/Dead's records in Maximum Rock N Roll years ago, I knew immediately that this would be a band I would cherish. A couple years later when I got a hold of Endless...Repetition (CD collection of various splits and 7"), I found that assumption to be quite true. This is crust the way Allah intended: dark, heavy, and pissed. Even the fact that they have primitivist type politics isn't enough to keep my ears away from their music. Even when in 'nothing but hip-hop' phase, I'll still throw these cats on.

01 Barricades
02 Years Of Death
03 Nuance/The Final Collapse
04 Bomb Factory
05 Anamnesis/Sirens
06 Eulogy

Saigon - Moral Of The Story (2007)

Sai been on the 'Next Up' list for, like, 6 years now. Due to a shady record label and a shadier industry atmosphere, he's been mostly limited to mixtape and digital releases. Still...ignore him at your own risk.
