Well, that's excellent. Glad to hear they are still being heard. I love those old RE/Search books, the one on PRANKS is high comedy. The last time I looked Rye Coalition got back together (Young Yellers single and video) but that may have been a year or two ago. Refused should get back together. KARP were the shit (Rowdy, Forget the Minnions, Bacon Industry) This thread and the SOTD thread are really great. Lots of great recommendations, thanks all! I've got a clip on my iPod of a BOTCH song (Japam?) just 20 seconds, but it is obvious to me that I need to find more.
THE JAZZ JUNE INK & DAGGER THROATS the locust are HUGE! have you refused fans heard dennis' 'new' band? (i'm not sure how long they've been around) http://www.myspace.com/ac4hc
Damn, those are just bands I haven't heard in a long time. Being in the midwest, anymore it feels like if you don't like metalcore you pretty much don't go to shows. I remember when Louisville had everything from the Enkindels to Abscise. from awesome mix to total crap. btw Apocalypse Hoboken
If you liked what little bit you heard, then Botch is definitely worth listening to. There were a lot of bands in the hardcore scene in the late 90s that have been forgotten to various degrees. Ink and Dagger definitely falls into that group. For anyone into that kind of stuff, I would suggest Waifle, Employer Employee and Minus off the top of my head.

Bands that you feel like no one else listens to... and with good reason. There's so much better dark ebm out there.
Chrome. I highly recommend the Touch and Go disc from 1990 that collects their best two albums (actually, their only good albums...most of their other stuff is surprisingly awful, IMO), Half Machine Lip Moves and Alien Soundtracks. These records were made in '78 and '79 and are so very awesome and waaaay ahead of their time. 17 years after having discovered them, I still do at least one extended visit with them each year... Check out Julian Cope's article on Chrome at Head Heritage: http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/albumofthemonth/1447
yeah' true, I just like how dirty that girl is... you sick fuck...!!! how about... combichrist psyclon nine columbine suicide commando lustmord brighter death now
Those are good, except BDN isn't ebm at all. Still good nonetheless. Fuck CombiChrist. Fuck Andy LePlegua. Good dark ebm: Hocico, Tactical Sekt, Aslan Faction, Obszon Geschopf, Nurzery [Rhymes], Leæther Strip, Swamp Terrorists, Die Sektor, Grendel, X-Fusion, Arzt+Pfusch, Asseptic Room, Alien Produkt, Cenobita, Dawn of Ashes, Fractured, Heimataerde, God Module, Lexincrypt, Lujhboia, Mesmer's Eyes, The Retrosic, Run Level Zero, Severe Illusion, Stark
damn, Tactical Sekt... I haven't heard that name in a long time I'm really out of the loop with the industrial music these days which is kinda strange considering the fact that I sometimes dj at The Castle... I just play way more techy bouncy dance music these days and sort of lost my desire to hear all of the Skinny Puppy rip-offs still got mad love for the scene though... just not seeking out the new talent so much... always love hearing the older stuff like Funkervoght, Wumpscut, Klute, Kode IV, Fuspils 11, Index, Cubanate, Techno Animal...
i'm on a real botch kick at the moment. well romans/anthology anyway, love it love it never got into waifle, but i did have those funny trading cards they did with the locust in/humanity!!
I did most of the art and photos for this band Mindwar (XNO) from CT. (ended in 1996) I doubt many people still listen, maybe just the old friends from the scene. The drummer is Des who now kicks ass for High On Fire.
NYC lounge-noir type bands such as Calla, Congo Norvell, Botanica and The Vanity Set. I have friends who are hardcore music lovers and seriously know their stuff yet I'm surprised to find how few people own these records. Some of the other stuff in this thread is pretty esoteric and so it's understandable that those bands don't have more of a following (I remember reading a review of NYC noise-mongers Missing Foundation in Trouser Press that described their audience as the kind of people who open their windows so they can BETTER enjoy the sound of jack-hammers, car alarms and garbage cans rattling). But hey, if you like that stuff - and I know people who do - who am I to judge. Byron Coley, for one, does and to me that man is a god. So be it. Paul Wallfisch is a bona fide genius, I believe, and his music is melodic and intelligent enough so that it should be reaching at least a cult audience. What gives?
My favorite bands (in no particular order): Kirlian Camera Die Form This Morn' Omina Ah Cama-Sotz Empusae/Tzolk'in Flint Glass Bad Sector In the Nursery Marching Dynamics L'Ombre S:Cage
The mummies are so great! I wish I could have seen them play. I don't know if Rocket from the Tombs was ever really popular, I'd always kind of heard the name as that band that spawned the Dead boys and Pere Ubu, but never actually listened to them until recently, and now that's all I listen to. It seems like they should have been more popular than I perceive them to have been. 30 seconds over Tokyo is epic.
Very nice. I've heard of / have releases from a lot of them, but have never heard of Marching Dynamics. Seems I will have to check them out. I saw ACS and TMO at Treffen a few years back. Two of the best shows I saw that year.
That is from the EP "An Anthology of Dead Ends". All the songs titles have the "N" replaced with an "M". That EP is one of Botchs finest releases. "We are the Romans" is also incredible. Highly recommend both!
Acid Bath Crowbar Eyehategod not obscure by any means, but sometimes I feel like I'm the only one with these guys still in my playlist.
Everything Botch did was great. I personally like American Nervoso the most, but probably because that's what I've listened to the most. As for Eyehategod, they, along with Buzzoven, just go to show that Southerners on heroin make some of the best angry/hateful/nihilistic music ever.
