Car HiFi Update

 I told you that this blog is going to be more personal. So I post whatever I want.

I inherited a Mazda Cx5 from 2018 from my dad who passed away in August 2023.

It´s a nice ride but the car stereo sounded like shit! I mean REALLY bad!

 My new ride: Mazda cx5

So I updated it with a nice car hifi system because I have a long way to work and I love to hear music while I drive. I asked the guy from the car hifi service /HFB Audio) for a cleaner and louder sound. He recommended an amplifier and subwoofer from a very good German car audio company called "Audiotec Fischer".

I told him that I don´t want to spent thousands of Euros and that I don´t want to waste a lot of space in my trunk for a massive subwoofer. He recommended a cool plug and play system called Match M 5.4DSP (amp) and Match PP 8E-Q (subwoofer). A pretty small system but with an outstanding result.

It makes every Agathocles rehearsal room recording into a Slayer production :-D

Wednesday evening tunes:

Playlist of the eving. Short listening sesh, have to get up early. I hate the early shift at work.

HELLNATION with the latest pressing of their 1st album. With Albert (RIP) not on drums but on bass and backup vocals. The repress comes with a proper inlay with photos and lyrics and three bonus tracks!! The 1st press came out on Sound Pullution 30yrs ago. Dang I'm old! Repress on Fight for your mind records / France

NAXEN ist a German Black Metal band on Vendetta records. Great atmospheric BM. Unfortunately the blastbeats could have been produced louder! I love this album anyway. A new album is in the making right now.

I don't know why VERMIN WOMB signed with Closed Casket Activities, a label known mainly for their hardcore releases. But who cares? This album is insanly hard. It's the band's most brutal release yet. No compromise grindcore. So hard it almost tends to noisecore. Very unusual for Closed Casket. But I am greatful that they stepped out of their comfort zone with this album. 

Last but not least CRYPTIC VOID's latest release. EU pressing on Regurgite Semen, US pressing on To live a lie. C. V. origin from Huston Tx. and you know what that means. Members of Insect Warfare, Nibiru, Türbokrieg etc. So it's no coincidence that CRYPTIC VOID sound like they do. A mix of the named above. Great production as well. Exactly how I love my grindrecords to sound. If you want to do me a favour, get me a copy of their 5" lathe cut from 2015. The only release I'm missing of this allstar band :-D

Good night

VERIFY - s/t & BODY PARTS - Count the dead 7" Lathe cuts

 Double feature = double the fun. If Sandro from Regurgitate Semen (RSR) puts out another release for his lath cut series I don´t have to check out the bands. But if you like to, or even download the tracks, I will provide bandcamp links. But I highly recommend you that you order the lathe cuts from RSR anyway!! I already postet the Hail of Rage lathe cut before. They are handnumbered and limited to 50 pieces every time. So don´t sleep on it.

Starting with VERIFY. Harsh punky hardcore / powerviolence. Do you remeber PUNCH from San Francisco with their popular female fronted fast hardcore songs around 2008 - 2014? Well this is like a snotty punk version without the twostep parts. Really pissed off and raw. Some might know SICK SHIT and their insanely overlooked "Softcore" cassette? Well, you get the idea. Power violence!!! Not the fastest kind but the really angry sounding!! Members of VILE INTENT. Man that reminds me to pull out my VILE INTENT records from the shelf. Haven´t played them way too long!!

VERIFY bandcamp

 

Next we have BODY PARTS from Massachusetts. A two piece band / project (?) with members of famous bands like CONVULSIONS / WOUND MAN / BREATHING FIRE / xFILES / RIVAL MOB etc etc. They sound like a noisey low fi version of bands like Extortion. Slow slugdy parts take turns with fast harsh parts that wanna make you smash your living room. Not for the weak!. Always some low fi electronic noise in the background and between the songs. This lathe cut has been released before as a cassette but without the b-side which consists electronic noise only :-D

Fuck corporate Death Metal

 

Making Death Metal exclusive again? Fuck that shit, fuck Nuclear Blast, fuck Brujeria.

Since Nuclear Blast Records has been sold to a huge French company prices like this became common.

(Sure, I´m going to buy this some day, but only as sale or 2nd hand!!!)

HUMMINGBIRD OF DEATH - Archaic Technologies 2 Floppy disk

 

2011 was the year. I was already inhaling everything H.o.D. released. Even if I wasn´t able to listen to it like this little gem. I guess the kids from today don´t even know what this is! :-D I ordered all the good stuff from Mike, the drummer of Hummingbird of death. Back then postage from the US to Europe was affordable. Here we have an obscure floppy disk. Up to date I haven´t been able to play this song from this floppy version but there is a song called "Archaic technologies" on HoD´s - Show us the meaning of haste Lp. If you know if there is a difference or if theses songs are completely different songs feel free to comment! Swine Records #6

Cars waste gasoline, fuck them. X=Bos is stupid, fuck that. CDs are obsolete, fuck them. Time to ride my bike everywhere, play Super NES and blast records on my turntable!
