Fuckshitupism deluxe.
BOMBANFALL- s/t 7″EP (selfproduced, Sweden, 1987)
Excuse the double post, but I feel like a bit of Harshcore at the moment. Though the “core” is kinda dubious when it comes to BOMBANFALL. What a record. So wild, so uncompromising, so original! And one of my favourite singers ever. What a powerful fucking voice! What a barbaric EP! If the second song with it’s opening scream doesn’t make you wanna do nasty things to nice people ….. you’re probably a nice chap. And the closing song – total apocalypse, man. And so short, the songs, although they have all the ingredients to be long songs. Wow, I’m fucking chuffed.
Just upon the release of this 7″ (of which 500 were made, if memory serves – I had about twenty of them), the band changed the name to TWO MOON’S RISING (hence the sticker on the cover). I discussed a future release with the band on my label Off The Disk Records, but TWO MOON’S RISING asked for a shitload of money upfront to record another EP. Thomas, who handled the labels financial aspects, decided we couldn’t and wouldn’t pay so much. He was of course right – on the other hand, had we paid it, we’d have the possibility to see what these guys would have come up with next. Would they have followed their path, I’m pretty sure they’d gotten pretty huge.
Lyric sheet says 1987, but I’m pretty sure this came out in 1988.
For those of you who have not heard BOMBANFALL yet – get ready for a serious mindfuck. And no, there’s no asiktsfrihet concerning this band’s greatness.
PS: Martin, that’s the kind of records from Sweden you should be posting.

I bought this record off of Henke (? you’re not the only senile guy here Erich) several years ago. Apparently he had several dozen unplayed “stock” copies sitting around (I don’t have the insert though
).
This record is amazing. I love how it predates the “stadium crust” movement by nearly a decade…but, ya know, doesn’t SUCK! Way ahead of it’s time, great songs and great production.

Well, I don´t know about this. Very swedish sound indeed but it lacks of something. Vocals are great though.

Erich, is the Little Gentlemen (from Philly) records worth posting? Never heard em, only one song off the Get Off My Back comp and that was weak.

As Pär sez. Very swedish sounding. Remember when it came out and for me it was just a big YAWN. This made me laugh hard: “and I love the “I natt är hela staden vår”-drumrolls on “Iskallt regn”. HA HA thank you Pär! Saved my sunday.

Odd, these guys remind me of “Under a Funeral Moon”-era Darkthrone as a hardcore band.
I can’t get track five to download. Is there a problem with it?

Sorry Erich,
I got tired of most d-beat bands a very long time ago. Used to have this record, but never cared too much for it.
I prefer my wimpy almost -punk records when it comes to socialdemocratic music.

Oi Tony – that’s great to see. Didn’t know about Masken’s posting of Bombanfall. There must have been something in the air.

Ha, I listened to the rips of this one, and you were right Erich. It’s not as much d-beat on this one as I remembered. Still not my cup of tea. G-Anx on the other hand, now that’s quite a different story.

this was a swedish band that I never heard of, another one, cause I guess that they are swedes, you thanked a band (?) called Döden on your FOG 7″. What were they like?

DÖDEN was a total noise band. Extremely weird. The 7″ had a running time of maybe 3 hrs or so. The a side was spontaneous noise, the b-side had manic sounding spoken word pieces, as far as I remember. Yes, another one I sold and regret forever cuz it’s impossible to find another one.

Damn it, that Döden EP is one of a kind for sure. It’s the perfect record to put on the turntable while having a romantic dinner on Saturday.
I don’t think I’ve ever listened to it from start to finish in a row.
$500 for that 7″ is insane! I’ve seen it a few times for about 200 SEK (about $25). Maybe I should’ve picked them up and sold them to whoever was willing to pay more for it.

Yeah, I tried to sit through it when I got it but I had to turn it off because it was too nauseating. Ha ha. Actually I was going to write an article about the 7″ but because it is virtually impossible to find out anything about the band -I asked lots of people who should know but most I found out was that there may have been an interview in some zine, which I doubt – I kind of put that idea on the hatshelf…for now. I do welcome any info though, if anyone knows firsthand info about the band, the members etc.

This seven-inch is incredible! It’s way back there in my list of records I need to own before I die, but it’s there! Fuck, I don’t listen to it that often but maybe it’s because it sends such huge chills down my spine I feel like a loser for not knowing more music like it. Incredible, simply fucking awesome.
Have I told you you’re my hero recently Erich?
