偏執症者 (Paranoid) - 10th anniversary
A power trio from Frösön/Sweden, formed in 2012. The foundation of their uncompromising DIY-attitude and savagery is in d-beat punk-inspired noise mixed with classic 80s metal. Conjuring a destructive vortex of violently rotating northern winds of head banging chaos and pure hell.
this is probably the band with the most posts here on this blog. celebrate their 10th anniversary this year. check out their bandcamp site for more releases, there are so many good releases. here the link to my recent favourite
HOT GRAVES - Magnificent Death CD
Formed in Gainesville, FL in 2008, HOT GRAVES crept into being blending the driving ferociousness of D-Beat / Hardcore Punk / Crossover Thrash with the brutality of Death Metal and the sprinklings of Black Metal into one raging amalgamation of sonic hatred!!! get it here!!!

This album deserves a place in your collection next to Icons Of Filth, Anti Sect, Vex and Exit Stance. get it here
Hekàtē - Μέρες Οργής | Days of Wrath LP
It’s not surprising that Hekátē chose their name after the ancient Greek goddess Hekate, the deity of the underworld, witchcraft, nighttime and crossroads. Hekátē are four women coming from different paths, all of which converged in the Spring of 2018, and met at the great crossroad of Athens’ eternal night. Their music is multi-referential, an explosive mix of their magic potions. The heavy, melodic bass establishes the base of their post-punk sound. The drums derail it where necessary. The synths, more electric than electronic, can be heard distinctly, at times leaning towards a smarter New Wave but also giving a wink at garage rock. The vocals sound like an enraged, rhythmic recital tightroping along the melody. As a result, their eight tracks move along a scale, starting with melancholic, urban hymns and ending in anxious, frenzied chases, all tied together with a ceremonial atmosphere.
