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!

Antediluvian / Temple Nightside - Cogitating Vacuous (split 7")
Antediluvian are a black/death metal band from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Temple Nightside are an atmospheric black metal band from somewhere in Australia. Both are fantastic bands, and when I heard they did a split together, I couldn't believe it! Unfortunately it's a very short release, clocking in at 11 minutes with both bands doing one track each. Nonetheless both tracks are great, and it's a great little 7". I can't believe you're still reading this, GO LISTEN ALREADY

Black Jesus - Black Jesus Saves [Demo]
Black Jesus is an Australian death/thrash metal band, influenced heavily by 80s rock n' roll and cult 80s death metal (think Autopsy, etc.). Although I would predominately file it under 'death metal, there's LOTS of elements of crust in here as well (most audible on tracks like Dead In Their Tracks). Released on Trench Hell's The Coffin Slave record label and recently released on vinyl by Hells Headbangers -- both of which are good signs.
Anyways, it's a nice, catchy slice of aussie metal, and if you're a fan of HHR stuff/Trench Hell, you'll certainly like this. While this MLP isn't anything ground breaking, it's still really good, and I'm looking forward to future releases by these guys!

Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness
Primordial are a black/folk metal band from Dublin, Ireland. Though a lot of bands that fall into the folk metal genre can be a bit...silly (to put it mildly), Primordial do a fantastic job of incorporating folk elements into amazing atmospheric black metal. The musicianship with this band is amazing, and you'd be hard-pressed to find another black metal band with clean vocals that are as good as Nemtheanga's.
When it comes to Primordial in their prime, it's extremely hard for me to choose just one to upload on here! I mainly picked The Gathering Wilderness, because it was the first album of theirs I heard as a teenager. If you have time, I'd recommend checking out A Journey's End and Spirit the Earth Aflame as well (which I will maybe upload on here as well sometime).
Enjoy!

The Howling Wind - Of Babalon
The Howling Wind are a two-piece black/death metal band that's been heavily influenced by sludge/doom metal. This is one of the best 'droning' black metal releases I've heard in years, reminding me of Under a Funeral Moon-era Darkthrone in many places. The other thing this release reminds me of a bit is quality orthodox black metal (kinda like DsO, Portal, Arkhon Infaustus influenced, though not sounding like it necessarily) that was coming out in the early 2000s -- before bestial black metal became the next big thing. The sludge elements come most into play when one notices that while the songs are atmospheric/repetitive, they're surprisingly free of high-pitched guitar leads, opting for more of a "wall of sound" approach over traditional black metal tremolo.
So if you're into atmospheric, guitar-heavy black metal, this is the release for you.
The video below is a cover of good ol' Hellhammer. Download link to the album is below as well. Enjoy!
