October 2016 / Halloween Comp vol. 2

Nekro Batica - Total Negation of Life

In here, Nekro Batica has compiled nearly every compositions that were either released or unreleased, but still a lot to discover, especially for the fans of dark ambient.

Dosis Letalis - Crackling Worship V

One of the few prominent HNW artists from Serbia continues to exceed himself with this particular experiment of walls which shows that you don't have to include really loud noise to achieve that. And come to think of it, this piece gives me tingles <3

Lucy Jane Garcia / Inappropriate King Live - Split

This one's rather interesting. A rather revealing contrast between IKL's psychologically riveting chaos and LJG's overwhelming walls  of despairing melancholy. A rather fitful match.

A Horror Movie Soundtrack vol. 2 - COMPLETE!

At last, another Halloween compilation is complete, totally including new soundtracks who contribute to intense and spooky horror atmosphere.

September 2016

The Poise - Visceral EP

This band came up to my label and submitted me to release their very first ep. I took a listen and this has the taste of The Jesus and the mary chain, Ride and Joy Division. It's a really sweet garage/dream pop band with post punk influences. Definitely worth checking out.

V Sabo / Shum split

This mentally nauseating split made by two hungarians V Sabo and Shum sums up pretty difficult to almost everyone in this world. With V Sabo's Sterunbtex, we are driven to the point of chaos and insanity, then we get mercilessly butchered by the hands of Shum and left to die. Possibly the toughest to sit through, but certainly the best to ever put out of.

Cady - Isle of Flowers

One of the England's fantabulous screamo bands is more than happy to be featured on our page, with granted permission. Cady plays blackened emoviolence with the likes of June Paik and Neil Perry.

Urge - S/t

Really sweet italian screamo takes a dark approach in La Quiete, making it more desperate and destructive. This is what makes it so powerful. Not to miss out.

Aaron & Natty - Aaron & Natty's 2k16 Noise/Folk Jamboree

A good friend Natty asked me to release this, so i decided to check it out a bit and it's pretty fun. Aaron & Natty made it for fun, and that's something i like about this. Tensions and boiling blood aside, this might cheer you up a bit.

Mr. Hammer - Humans are Scum EP

Chree Kingslayer's (ex-drummer of The Number Twelve Looks Like You) side project that has come out a long time ago in myspace, decided that i release it on CSR. Frankly, i think it deserves to be there. Cause of absurdity, hopelessness and hatred painted in every music sheet, every scribbled word on the sketchbook. It's what we feel inside. Cheesy, yet definitely worth checking it out.

Social Drift - Walls?

What happens when you go to the zone where you suddenly have your ears explode till you can't hear no more? That's what this cover and this entire 15 minutes is all about. Tho, obvious question mark in the titles makes it seems like a really strange dream. Nevertheless, sleep tight.

July 2016

Sueisntfine / Collapsed Lung split

Another nice split with a pair of good fellas under the name Collapsed Lung. As sueisntfine, i have released some old unreleased songs that should've been out a long time ago. But, here it is anyway.

Dosis Letalis - Elections are Coming

A nice little HNW coming from Serbia. More wallz and violence from DL. Perhaps more violent than Raven. I love them both, tho.

Goodthink - Guilt

A final goodthink album that finally takes a cake on the screamo route. A flabbergasting mix of Makara, 25 Dollar Massacre and Daughters, etc. Not gonna lie, Guilt is potentionally good.

Telekom Basketball - Katosit terälehtiin kirkkaudessa ja en nähnyt sinua enää koskaan

A finnish emo extended play whose quality has proven after their noise-rock driven demo. TB bears resemblances of 90's emocores such as Embassy and I Hate Myself.

Actually Dying, Many Apologies - Self Titled EP.

A very first EP of Actually Dying came out this month since their split with We Watched In Horror. This ep tends to be more improvisational and kinda messy in the way that they don't actually care about the music making rules.

PKWST - Unnameable in Any Known Language

A black metal influenced harsh noise band from Phoenix, AZ, USA featuring Carrion, Moyo and PKWST themselves. This compilation of theirs is, after a pack of their hourly individual albums, collects 8 tracks that clock to almost 82 minutes. Sure, it's not for everyone, but it doesn't mean you don't have to check it out if you're wondering what border that such music breaks.

Nekro Batica - Zaborav EP

A gritty serbian dark ambient ep containing 5 tracks concealing shrouds of forgetfulness.

See you there!

February 2016

ANTI-YUGO & NAZI GRIND MACHINE - 1st demo

My new one man grind-noisecore where a demo/album/ep/split doesn't even need the name of the short-as-hell tracks. It's more like whatever idgaf about song titles just make some noise already.

AMINUPAULA - 1 + 1 = 0

An interesting discovery on VK.com, a russian minimal electronic duo Aminupaula from Novosibirsk, we have 5 tracks of industrial and noise influences in their EP 1 + 1 = 0. Definitely worth checking out.

YUBARI GOGO - S/T

This incredible new one man, Yubari Gogo, from Greece, Tears screamo a new face with this s/t. "Nonfiction" and "To Never Sanctify Carlos Gesualdo" appeared in a two track cassette. Tho, it's undeniable of how wonderful this album is. Definitely my fav of 2016.

LUCY JANE GARCIA / STADIUM 6221

The way Lucy brings noise with her friends to my label never ceases to amaze me. Lucy and Stadium 6221 from Hungary, proceed to spread further wings of noise, closing down the walls in the most narrowest ways and crush your lungs to death.

January 2016

MINUTES OF DECAY - INCHOATE DEATH EP

My new band with Andrew of Cohentehja Nitt. Basically, we're a virtual depressive emo duo. Andrew wrote his own sample lyrics for three tracks, tho i have written my own for the second track. I think it can be considered as a demo EP. This is a good start to me, and maybe we will be making better music in the future.

PUBLIC MORBIDITY - XI

Violent, homicidal HNW release of Joseph Szymkowiak's (Nahash Atrym Productions, Run, Uv Ursa Spr) Public Morbidity. Two tracks of never ending bloodshed.

EXTINCT - GREATEST HITS - THE EARLY YEAR

Punishing hxcx pxvx from Querfurt, Germany. The recollections of unreleased songs including their demo ep.

WE WATCHED IN HORROR - BEHOLD EP

Gritty, blackened lo-fi emoviolence from Massachusetts, USA. One man band in its entirety. Brutally sharp vocals completely take over raw screamo music we haven't heard before. Raw black metal influence is always better than the polished one. FFO: Love Lost But Not Forgotten, Kobra Khan, Orchid, Grievance, Dispensing of False Halos.

V SABO - THE WHOLE WORLD IS A PIECE OF ROTTEN FLESH

Hungarian noise artist is back once more so far since his release "Emowave" came into our fridge. It consists of mixes with Dark Ambient Misanthropy and Furious Harsh Noise Landscapes.

ACTUALLY DYING, MANY APOLOGIES // WE WATCHED IN HORROR - SOMEWHERE BETWEEN KANSAS AND BOSTON... HALFWAY TO OZ

Blackened lo-fi screamo and Manic Sludge Skramz, both from USA coming together with a really grimy split. Actually Dying's side is a 18 minutes of total manic chaos and never ending suffering. In Horror's side is fast, intense and completely crazy in its own way. Definitely my favorite split release of all time.

DESTINED - DESTINED

Destined's self-titled EP has recently come out since their last ep 'Growing'. The production is a bit outdated but still decent enough.

LUCY JANE GARCIA / VOMIR SPLIT

My HNW project Lucy Jane Garcia has previously released self-titled album and other one "Call Me Lucy" and this time a split with a well known HNW pioneer Vomir. 2 tracks made by each of us as a protest for Trans rights and as a resistance against transphobia and bigotry.

The first compilation of CSR will be finishing soon...

Apparently, i've gotten into a contact with lots of bands who are happy to share the tunes with us. I am very happy to say that i have got nearly 30 songs on my iTunes playlist (to perfectly watch which track is in line for a bandcamp upload).
Just look how everything has filled the slot!

That being said, it won't be on CD-r because of a very long duration for the whole compilation and will be possibly for a free download. Thank you for joining.

And if there's anything that i could do for you, message me via email from my first post below.

- Powerviolence
- Noisecore
- Fastcore
- Noise
- Drone
- HNW
