Hey Erich-
Thought you (and some of the other blog readers) might like to know that there is now a 2CD NYC Mayhem discography out on Hell’s Headbangers. It’s in their new release listings this week. For someone who’s a fan of the band already there is probably nothing you haven’t heard before, but hopefully the sound is decent and the booklet looks like it has some good pics, flyers, info in it.

A few of these songs were changed a
bit and became Straight Ahead songs.
Different lyrics, same music. Their
sound sure changed a lot in a years
time. That first material from that
MySpace page is full-on metal. Thanks
for the post.

Got a massive bootleg of NYC Mayhem material (demo/reharsal and live) that a (very kind) guy posted on a download thread on a forum. I’d heard a lot about NYC Mayhem, mainly from Death/Thrash metallers, not really who knew their shit. Fuck, Repulsion spoke of them, Shane Embury from Warhammer/Unseen Terror, Bill Steer from Carcass, Death. When I heard the material it was much more hardcore sounding than I thought it would be, in fact there were very little metal elements to it, I wondered how the hell they got into metal tape-trading lists. THEN I heard their first rehearsal and FUCK it ripped, the drummming is insanely concentrated and of course fast, the riffs are fucked-up whirlwinds and the urgency of the band is gripping. Then I found out they did a Possessed cover, then I saw flyers where they promoted themselves as a Deathcore act and then it all may sense why so many old-school metal tape-traders spoke highly of NYC Mayhem. Not to knock the hardcore stuff they did, which I have only listened to twice before, but I’m a metalhead so the earliest stuff gets me more.

There is a killer MySpace page for NYC Mayhem right here http://www.myspace.com/mayhemnyc.

And an interview with Straight Ahead here,

Ha! That comment was great Mipose! Right-on, my brother, now start a political party aimed at routing out the mean spirited hard core collectors! How about "PFQIAOP - The Party For Quasi-Intellecuals Against Old Punks" the many initials make it look clever no? Kinda like Kurdish Liberation Army circa 1986 don't you think?

(Stinky82's a cool kid, he likes good music)

I stand by my ignorant criticism (above) of Abba as I live in England where people fucking worship the band in karaooke pubs (when I am trying to sleep next door, I tell you - every damn night I have to hear some old wino croony crow-crow Dancing Queen! argh! ugh!). SwePete: please take everything very literary & serious. It's good for one's sanity, alledgely.

ps. seriously, I would sooooo but "Pig Champion's man-titty-nipple ketchup-print and autograph" if it came up on Egay! ds
