Totalitär - Sin Egen Motståndare + Ni måste bort

Totalitär were a hardcore punk band from Sweden. Although their music wasn't quite metal-influenced enough to be considered crust, they're often lumped in with crust bands because of their imagery and lyrical themes. Not to mention they're fucking fantastic! They never really got into doing gigs, but they released a fair bit of music, and definitely left their mark on the punk scene, going on to do splits with legends like Dropdead, Tragedy and Disclose when they got together briefly in the early 2000s.

Seriously, this is one of those bands I never got into when I was in high school because I was already busy listening to a zillion other bands, and just figured they'd be another overhyped hardcore band. DAMN was I wrong! This is what hardcore punk should sound like. Everytime I listen to this band I feel like I'm being assaulted. It's rare (especially by the 90s when this band was making music) that I hear a band where you can actually feel the violence in their music. All the lyrics are in Swedish, but it's easy enough to run that shit through a translator (not that their 7"/LP covers aren't enough to give the themes away).

Anyways, I like this band so much that I'm posting their first two LPs on here. Enjoy!

KICKER - Not You

KICKER is the brainchild of "legendary road dog," Pete the Roadie. After 30 years of being on the road, he got together with members of Neurosis and Dystopia and have been putting out some great old school punk! NOT YOU is the first full-length from the band, which deals with such important issues as how to be punk whilst simultaneously being a crusty old guy. It's actually pretty unique sounding,  with Pete's vocals/singing style reminding me of an 80s Anarchopunk record, but the production/music itself reminding me more of classic American punk. Very cool!

Below is the link to the band's Bandcamp page, where you download it in any format. The band has generally made it "name your price" (meaning you can technically get it for free, but I'd personally give the band at least $5 for their efforts), so I've included that instead of a mediafire link. You can also buy it on CD or LP at Tankcrimes Records. Enjoy!
