Hellshock is a Crust Punk band from Portland, Oregon that was formed in 2000. They combine a brand of "Dark" Crust Punk with Hardcore Punk, and Thrash Metal. Lyrically, the band writes almost exclusively about war. The five-piece has ex-members of Remains of the Day, Atrocious Madness, From Ashes Rise, and Detestation. The band is still active today.
It ain't about the music but the words behind it,not about being the best or having the most friends,its about surviving and being real . Blagg are here to complain about this stinking world & life that surrounds it. We are heavy in words & in music & combine it all in a more raw sound which is more in line with the 80's crust which we all grew up with and still enjoy. We are from a bleak run down town called Blyth in the Northeast U.K.
Deviated Instinct were a crust punk/heavy metal act from Norwich formed in 1984 with a line-up of vocalist/guitarist Mid (a.k.a. Rob Middleton), singer Leggo, bassist Ian and drummer Mark. Deviated Instinct, debuting on the live circuit in September of 1984, released two demos in 1986 entitled 'Tip Of The Iceberg' and 'Terminal Filth Stenchcore'. Their first single on Peaceville Records was a limited edition of 1000 followed a year later by the debut album 'Rock 'n' Roll Conformity'. By this time bassist Ian had left to join Goober Patrol.
Originally formed in 1995 as Sperrzone, they started off playing rough hardcore. At some point in the late '90s they renamed the band Instinct of Survival and changed their style to grindcore. Around the mid-'00s they changed their style again, this time to the stenchcore sound they are known for today. Band's MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/stenchcore

Morne was a concept that began with many trials and tribulations. The band was founded by Milosz Gassan in 2005, and while there were many interested individuals in making the project happen, only one lineup had the dedication and passion to make the band a reality. In 2007, Milosz was joined by Max Furst (bass) and Kevin Adams (drums) and it was here where Morne began to create and develop the band's distinct sound heard today.
