Crust Punk
 

People here like crust punk? Dirty riffing, alcohol soaked vocals, unwashed drums and they still manage to act holier than thou. Post your favourite crust acts. I'd post mine but I've yet to reach the post quota. But I love Dystopia, Amebix and Skitsystem!

3 really good acts. I've seen Dystopia many times live. Some others i would include as good acts: Corrupted, Hellbastard, Nausea, and also Extreme Noise Terror and Doom. One of the genres that doesn't seem to get as much love as others, but definitely top two in my list.

Luv crust punk. The originator Discharge still sounds great today, which tells you a little something about the genre. All great bands mentioned thus far...Skitsystem, Dystopia and Nausea are my favs. His Hero is Gone, Catharsis and G.I.S.M are all pretty cool.

I was gonna say Discharge, but everywhere i do that people tell me its Anarcho. Discharge is probably my favorite band of alltime in the punk rock genre. The WHY album is what a hardcore album is supposed to sound like. :band:

Yeah, they started out as Anarcho, put they were too fricken good at playing their instruments to stay that way forever.

Oh, can't believe i forgot Fall of Efrafa

Fall of Efrafa were fucking awesome. The best thing about them is how they transcend genre labeling, one minute it's crust the next it's the best post-rock I've ever heard.

I'm so glad Fall of Efrafa was brought up. If you don't have Owsla, or Elil, fix that right now; Watership Down is also a fantastic book.

Speaking of, has anyone heard the Light Bearer album?

"Light Bearer - Lapsus (2011)
From last.fm:


"Light bearer formed in 2010, from the ashes of UK post metal and hardcore bands Fall of Efrafa and Dungeons. The band is an all encompassing art/music/narrative project, based around a story written by their vocalist Alex, who drew influence from the writings of Philip Pullman’s “His dark materials” trilogy, John Milton’s Paradise Lost, and the Book of Genesis.The band play a mixture of melodic post hardcore, progressive metal, post rock and ambient atmospheric drone, The songs are structured specifically to follow the narrative and therefore peak and trough in equal measure, mixing screamed desperate vocals with sung passages.The story is split into four main parts, Lapsus, Silver Tongue, Magisterium and finally Lattermost Sword. The narrative begins with the metaphorical casting out of the protagonist Lucifer, an angel so loyal and in love with god that he could not submit when asked to bow before humanity, personified as Adam. For this act he is banished from heaven into the cold stigeon wastes below. Here he questions the Allfather – an entity who claimed the universe as his own. In doing so he realises his master has lied, and vows to reach out from his desolate prison and become his namesake – to pass on the torch of free will to all life in the multiple universes.The story continues in Silver Tongue, Magisterium and Lattermost Sword in which the torch is borne by the metaphorical Eve – the mitochondrial ancestor of humanity, her rejection of the will of the false god and the attempted rebellion against Heaven, her role and the role of the prophesied second Eve. The establishment of the church and the eventual culmination and war against the patriarchal god.Alongside the four releases are planned EPs and split records, beginning with “Beyond the infinite, the assembly of god” – an elaboration of the introduction to the first album. A second narrative runs through records not included in the four main parts, which deals with the natural formation of the universe and the evolution of life."

i'm going to be really cheeky and plug a band.
along the lines of dystopia, i recommend Host, listn.to/Host
