In wading through the bone heap of dark and obscure hardcore that this blog has become over the years, it's hard not to stumble over a few relics that could use a bit more polishing, or which deserve some further exposure befitting their hallowed place (at least in my world). The records you see above and below are getting the treatment today due to previous ripping issues, such as low bit rate (Zero Hour), a turn table apparently on meth (Asebia- thanks Mikexxx for pointing it out), low volume (Nux Vomica), or a barely-attached needle (Ambulance). Obviously, I felt they were worthy of doing this all over again, and I can't recommend these bands enough if they are new to you. We begin with Zero Hour, who became one of my all time favorite bands on the strength of their 7" alone way back in 1995. I still can't listen to these four songs without feeling like I've been nailed in the chest by a flying hobo sack of wisdom and emotion. This is the EP's third and probably last appearance on this blog, the first being almost five years ago.
The folder also has re-ripped versions of the band's excellent tracks from the split LP with Apeface.

Nux Vomica have former members of Wake Up On Fire, and are now based in Portland. Their fantastic debut always kills me.

hey marc thanx for mentioning.the new asebia's rip is great.powerful and in right rpm. now, still today "only their victims have faces" is their best song. i'll put some attention to the zero hour madness.thanx
The ZH is obviously highly recommended! Even if you don't like them, you have to admit that back in '94 they were way ahead of their time and probably influenced a lot of that neo-crust stuff of today (not sure if they would consider that a compliment...)
