Proto.022: PORD "Valparaiso" CD / LP

This incredible trio has everything to catch the audience attention - and particularly on stage (if you didn't see them live yet, go see them, you won't be disappointed !).
Their music tends to be either noise (the best one, from the begining of the 90's) - just listen to their bass/drums rythms -, or hardcore.
Their rythms are groovy but still keeps a jazz touch while suddenly attacked by a high tempo on pulsive beats.
For fans of Dazzling Killmen, Tantrum, Table, Unsane, Playing Enemy, Dead Elephant, Breach...


Co-Release with Rejuvenation, Contreplaqué, Gabu, Ocinatas Industries and Plein De Choses.


Out on April 2011 / Total of 500 Digisleeve CDs, and 300 standard black LPs. Both versions with double sided full colour insert.

Proto.021: ISLAND EATER "S/T" 3" CD-R

Island Eater was active from about 2005 to 2008.
This record combines their both demos, respectively from 2007 and 2008, for a total of 11 tracks.
I first heard about them on 2007 when we should have been together (with Stuntman) on a 7" comp that has never been released.
I was stocked with their sound and massive guitars.
Now the band is dead but it was a privilege for me to release all their songs on a very limited record.
Take a listen to this band and you'll be glued to the monitors until it lasts.
For fans of Turmoil, Norma Jean, The Chariot, Will Haven, "old" Cave In...


Out on April 2011 / Total of 50 extra limited and hand-numbered of a 3" CD-R that comes in a mini plastic sleeve and a double sided insert.



ORDER NOW :

3 euros (Initial Price) >> main à la main / hand to hand









Proto.020: PAL "And Out Your Mouth" CD

PAL is a torture instrument made famous by Vlad « the impaler »Tepes, son of Vlad Dracul.

It's also a french duet formed in 2008 by Maël Kuhn on guitar and vocals, and Ivo Kaltchev (STUNTMAN, QUARTIER ROUGE, BREATHE YOUR DIRT, NERV) on drums.

They play a crossover of noise-rock, hardcore, sludge, with grindcore, black metal and funeral zouk influences.

For fans of Black Cobra, American Heritage, Anodyne, Keelhaul, Cursed, Unsane...


Out on August 2011 / Total of 500x Digisleeve CDs



ORDER NOW :

10 euros (Initial Price) >> main à la main / hand to hand









Proto.019: BONE DANCE "Snakecharmers" one-sided 12"

Certainly our best release at this time, I mean the one we're the most proud !
Hailing from Boise, Idaho (USA), and playing a mixture of metallic hardcore and dissonant, crushing metal, this EP is heavily reminiscent of bands like Botch, Engineer, and American Heritage, with a barrage of stop-start, neck-breaking riffing scattered throughout progressive & descending breakdowns. And yet Bone Dance maintains their own sound; bearing a suffocating sense of aggression and lament within their songs, buried beneath rich, bassy tones and attack. Although it's short, Snakecharmers is an addicting, headbanging listen and worth checking out. 10 pessimistic minutes of filth, cynicism, acrimony, grief, and spite, for people with a dim view and a bleak outlook.
Think Gaza, Cursed, Burnt By The Sun, Trap Them...


Out on May 2011 / Total of 300 one-sided 12" (that turns at 45rpm) all on BLACK/WHITE MIX, with double sided full colour insert.



ORDER NOW :

8 euros (Initial Price) >> main à la main / hand to hand









Proto.018: XNOYBIS "Meanwhile" CD

Xnoybis has already done a first album "Solace" and a wonderful split 7" with Pord. This record includes their new recording session of 3 new tracks + an old one with 2 tracks (one is the famous song on the split with Pord). Their music tends to be either very noisy or very hardcore. The structures are clever and original, so you won't felt bored anytime ! For fans of Anodyne, Playing Enemy, American Heritage, Kiss It Goodbye, Godflesh...(Running Time: 37'04").


Out on December 2010 / Total of 200 Digisleeve CDs. The digisleeves are two colours screenprinted.



ORDER NOW :

8 euros (Initial Price) >> main à la main / hand to hand









Proto.017: SOFY MAJOR "Permission To Engage" CD / 2xLP

Sofy Major is a power trio with a forth person who brings some samples. Their music is loud and the Andrew Schneider mixing parts and Nick Zampiello mastering has improved their talent. Since their singer departure, Manak (bass) share his vocals for everybody's pleasure. If you like Kylesa, Baroness, Taint, American Heritage, High On Fire, Mastodon or something more crust like From Ashes Rise or Cursed, you won't be disappointed by this record !(Running Time: 50'38").

Proto.016: EVERY REASON TO... / THE DAWN - Split 10" / CD

Every Reason To... quartet plays heavy & loud. Their music shakes hxc, metal, noise, melodic ambiances, crust approach... Think a mixture between Breach & Coalesce... The Dawn is a trio that delivers a powerful heavy and totally evil sound with chaotic riffing and satanic voices. Their music is totally possessed by the devil. Think Today Is The Day, Converge, early Minus, early Daughters, early TDEP...

Proto.015: ILLTEMPER "S/T" 7"

This shit is strictly limited to 100 copies and it contains the two last and best unreleased tracks recorded (before Laurent and Foux departures). Be careful with those songs ! It's difficult to enter in Illtemper's world, you'll need to listen a few times before appreciating their approach. Distorded noisy structures mixed with hardcore/metal power, totally insane vocals and jammin' groove jazzy bass parts (Think Knut, Botch, Coalesce, Converge, Foe...) (Running Time: 8'08").

Proto.014: STUNTMAN "The Target Parade" CD / LP

There are some killer moments along these 10 tracks and I assume I'm proud of this album !
The chaos is at hand. Here is the new full length album from this french combo.
Totally aggresive, straight to the point, a clever mixture of all underground genres : hardcore, metal, noise, punk, sludge...
Prepare yourself from this assault because you won't stand up again easily. It will blow you away !
Mastered at New Alliance East by Nick Zampiello and Rob Gonnella (Cave In, Isis, Pelican...)
For fans of Coalesce, Botch, Kiss It Goodbye, Converge, Unsane, Keelhaul, Deadguy, Bloodlet...
