Extreme Metal label, Pulverised Records has announced the signing of Japan’s Fastkill. Fastkill, already having five releases under their belts, are no strangers to the metal scene. Pulverised will be distributing the bands latest album, Bestial Thrashing Bulldozer in North America and Europe.
Pulverised had the following to say: “Having known Fastkill for years but never had the opportunity to work with them, we are especially overwhelmed to finally be able to release their latest musical violence Bestial Thrashing Bulldozer in almost five years since the Nuclear Thashing Attack album. We always felt that this form of no-frills and breakneck speed Thrash Metal are one of Fastkill’s traits and now with this latest opus from the band, this is the perfect time to show the world how real Thrash Metal should be done – the Fastkill way!”
Fastkill drummer Kazu replied, “We’re really glad to team up with Pulverised Records since we have respected their professional work with bands like Whiplash, Master, etc. We are quite confident that their special team will lead us to the next level. As for the new album, we have pushed further ahead what we have produced so far. In this album, you will hear the sound of furiously speed-oriented raging Thrash Metal.”

Los Angeles-based melodic thrash metallers HeXen have sent a few text messages officially announced their new album, Being and Nothingness. What’s that? Haven’t heard of HeXan? Because I’m a nice guy, I included a wee video on the next page of some well weilded melo-thrash that I thoroughly enjoyed. Normally, I’m not a thrash guy, which this predominantly is. However, these guys really exploit the opportunity to take their song structure to the next level and push the envelope further into their capabilities.
Sooooo…their new album from Pulverised Records has been described to be one that is poised to separate them from the mill, not just another novelty. The track listing for Being and Nothingness looks brave, they are taking on an eight part nocturne suite. It has been four years since they released their debut, State of Insurgency.
HeXen commented saying:
“We are completely stoked for this long worked on; long awaited second release and we can’t wait to showcase this opus live to all our fans. Unlearn what you have learned about metal!”
I like that. “Unlearn what you have learned about metal!”

After 2010’s The Human Machine, Master has been in high demand to put out another album and today the band has announced The New Elite as their follow-up. Featuring “11 tracks of unambiguous death metal in its wretched form, in perfect coalition with the offensive Paul Speckmann-spewed lyrical shitstorm,” the album brings many political issues to light when Pulverised Records releases it later this year.
Commented mainman Paul Speckmann: “The rich are getting richer and the poor are starving on the streets all around the world while men battle each other for world dominance! Governments are grabbing the world by the balls and dictating the new rules of the soon-to-be New Elite, while the youth of today just sit down and take it. I really wonder if and when the youth of today will take a stand against these crazy fucked-up ruthless world leaders.”

Experimental black metal heads Enshadowed have completed the fine tunings of a deal with Pulverised Records. The label will be releasing Enshadowed’s third release Magic Chaos Psychedelia later on this year.
The band has described the album as, “the ultimate combination of orthodox black metal with experimental grotesquery parts. Chaos, ritualism, paranoia — the formulas of how it can be harmonized with the chaos and the utter,” according to a press release.

There are some bands more adept at riding the chaos than others in the storied history of underground music. From noise and hardcore pioneers like Steel Pole Bathtub to Man Is The Bastard to synth/indie/post-core bands like Six Finger Satellite to numerous grindcore bands like Fuck The Facts, etc.- some groups just embody the concept of "fuck it/let's really go for it" more than others. NY's Black Mesa sits proudly in that same spirit of frenzy and ferocious inventiveness, as evidenced by their recent compilation of insanely manic live performances. Whatever sub genre they throw in the emotional blender, you are bound to enjoy a deliciously nutritious smoothie of muddy sonic punk purée.
