WARVICTIMS intervju, Vxpx (netzine), augusti 2008 (ENG)
Intervju till Fofaos (Besthöven) nätzine VXPX. Han har även lagt upp en hel del andra mulliga intervjuer, så kolla in den!1. TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR HISTORY...WHEN FORMED...ETC..
Fisen: I think it was the summer of 2006, perhaps june/july? Me and Challe had played in bands together before Warvictims so we have known each other for a long time. Both of us are into rawpunk and d-beat a la 90 styles, you know what I mean? We have been talking for a while that we should start a new band with no bullshit melodies on the guitars. Just to keep it simple, tedious and raw with lyrics only about war, starvation and death. We recorded our first rehearsal and that was later released as the minicd “when the innocent cry”. Only 100copies made and it was included as a free record with our zine Skitliv! #3. I think that’s for the best. Back then I played the drums and I really suck at it.
2. WHY "WARVICTIMS"???
Fisen: We wanted a standard name and war and innocent victims is a common topic among punk bands so we just putted together those words.
3. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT "DISCORE"..."CRUST"...ETC...ONE TIME THAT WE CAN SEE/HEAR LOTS OF PEOPLES TALKING SHIT ABOUT THAT...AGAINST THAT TOO...ETC...
Fisen: For me it’s either punk, råpunk or käng. Today there are so many names for the same music (in my ears), why make it more difficult then it is? I saw some youtube movies some weeks ago about the war between crustpunks and trallpunks here in Sweden. I did not even know that there was a war going on. I have never been involved in this conflict and I will never be a part of it. I think it’s pretty ridiculous. In my point of view the punk scene has always been divided, I ask myself for what reason? Punks should just unite and fight back the true evil in the system. We should not try to be some fucking hip hop scene with beefs and shit, we should know better then that. Internet is good for many reasons like finding information, meting new friends/bands etc. But there are also lots of dark sides as well. Like backstabbing and bullshit talking punks on forums and such. Let’s say that Warvictims got ripped off by some label. Then that’s in between the band and the label not hundred of other punks with lack of information about the story between the two parts. I see this often in Sweden with punks defame other punks cause of some bullshit rumours on the net. Mind your own business!
4. YOU ARE A "YOUNG" BAND...SINCE YOU ARE FORMED IN 2006....BUT YOUR DISCOGRAPHY HAVE GROWNING MANY MANY FAST...BEYOND YOUR DISCOGRAPHY...WHAT ARE THE NEXT PLANES??? NEW RECORDS,ETC...
Fisen: We’re a young band with a bunch of old farts. Hehe. We have access to a studio where we can record most of the stuff almost for free. So as soon as we have any new tracks we just hit the studio. We don’t have any future plans as it is today. We have recorded four tracks that will be released by Abuse Records from Belgium. That might be our last record. It’s too early to say anything more.
5. WHAT ABOUT YOUR TOUR?? IT WAS CANCELLED???
Fisen: Yes, unfortunately. Challe (vocals) have been depressed for some time now and he just felt that he couldn’t go on tour. He thought that the anxiety just would increase. It’s a damn shame, but we all have to respect his decision. We were all really looking forward to this tour. We were supposed to play at some great venues/festivals with several of good bands. Fuck, it just makes me depressed to think about all this. I/we wanna apologies to everybody for this inconvenient with such short notice. Read more about it on our myspace profile with a personal letter from Challe with more details and a blog post from the band.
6. WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT LINE UP??? MANY CHANGES SINCE THE BEGUIN??
Fisen: We don’t know the current line-up cause we haven’t been talking too much to each other after we cancelled the tour. Challe don’t wanna play live but the rest of us want. He might be up for 1-2 shows at top and we wanna be out for at least 1-2 weeks at the time. Perhaps we will continue as a boring studio project or perhaps we’ll find someone that can replace Challe or perhaps we just quit the band and move on. As I said we haven’t really talked about it. It’s only me and Challe who’s been in the band since the start so there have been some major changes through the years.
7. SAY SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE BANDS...AND INFLUENCES???
Fisen: It’s actually really hard to say, I’m influenced by so many bands. Dischange/Meanwhile, Disfear, Warcry, Consume, Disclose…to namedrop a few. When I grew up I more or less only listen to bands that started with DIS, which might reflect some of the chords and songs I do today.
Fetebob: You could say the whole lifestyle and enviorment within the ranks that we hang out in is our influences.. a hard living contributes to what we do.. band i like is Disaster, doom, warcollapse and the english anarchopunkscene in the eighties. They lived what they believed in, so shall we.
8. HOW ARE THE SCENE IN SWEDISH TODAY??? GIGS, ZINES, ETC...
Fisen: I think that there are lots of new great bands, like it always been. In some way it feels like the scene is growing more and more with young and hungry punks that want things to happen. When it comes to gigs/venues we have “Spatt” in Göteborg, “Skylten” in Linköping, “Verket” in Umeå, “Fullersta” in Stockholm and some other small venues whose organise shows and workshops. We have “Punk illegal” (located in Göteborg) who arrange shows/festivals for the benefits of illegal immigrants. There ain’t that many active papers zines around today which I think is very sad. Internet is taking over more and more with blogs and such.
Fetebob: We have venues but there should be more and it should be alot more discussions about the current situation in the country and how to widen the spectra on teh scene.. like it is now everybody is so segregated and pointing fingers at eachother. I guess every country has problems with the hierarchy and elitethinking. Fuck all that and start communicating and be a threat for real.
9. YOUR MEMBERS ARE PLAYING IN OTHER BANDS/PROJECTS...???
Fisen: Yes everybody in Warvictims has played and plays in other bands/projects. Just leave it as that.
Fetebob: Yes we play in alot of bands but theyare not interesting now.
10. TELL US ABOUT YOUR OTHERS WORKS...LIKE YOUR AMAZING LABEL...HOW IT ARE GOING...AND HOW ARE THE NEWS...
Fisen: I started D-takt & Råpunk some year ago with no expectation that it would turn out like it did. When we started Warvictims nobody wanted to release our first recordings so we just decided to release it by ourselves. There where also a lot of other great bands out there that we wanted to release. So that’s why we started D-takt & Råpunk Records. So far I think that we have released some fucking amazing records like with bands like; Mob 47, Nuclear Death Terror, Giftgasattack, Tortyr, Dissober, Besthöven etc. It was a true honour to release the Mob 47 lp/cd. I have listened to them since 92 and I would never have thought that I someday would release a record with them. We always got lots of pre-orders so most of the records get soldout really fast, which we think is great cause then we can put the money into a new release. Hehe. Yesterday I sent two new releases to the pressing plant; Flyblown/Warvictims split 12” and Raw Hate 7”. I hope they will be out in september. After those two we will release 7” with Krossa and Spritvev, 12” with Giftgasattack, cassette with Kirai and a Skitliv! compilation cd/lp. More to come…
11. I..D LIKE TO KNOW MORE TOO ABOUT SKITLIV ZINE!! ARE ALL MEMBERS OF WARVICTIMS WORKING ON THE ZINE...OR IS IT JUST A "ONE MAN" WORKING AT...???
Fisen: This is how it is; me and Challe started the zine Skitliv! by the end of 2005. It’s a true old school cut and paste raw punk zine heavily influenced by another Swedish zine called Sika Äpärä (rip). At the beginning me and Challe did most of the zine related work together. Today I do most of it all by my self. Claude has been helping out the last issues with reviews and reports. Challe is still a part of the zine. He’s helping out with everything he has the energy to. We will put out one more final number (#10) and after that we won’t do any more zine. It’s fun doing a zine, but it takes to much time.
12. TOP 10 (CRUST/D-BEAT AND DISCORE ONLY)!!!
Fisen: Fuck, I hate top lists just casue it’s so hard and you always forget something. If you would ask me next week or next month I would probably say other records. But here it goes:
1. Dischange
2. Mob 47
3. Disfear
4. Skitlickers
5. Warcry
6. Disrupt
7. Disclose
8. No Security
9. Consume
10. Extreme Noise Terror
Fetebob: I´d like to add Contrast attitude, Discharge, Discard to this list.
13. WHAT ABOUT THE OLD SWEDISH BANDS LIKE BOMBANFALL OR FEAR OF WAR...WE NEVER HEAR MANY THINGS ABOUT THEM...
Fisen: It’s two awesome bands so I don’t know why we don’t hear so much about them. I don’t have any records with them, just some songs at my mp3 player. The records are hard to find and costs way too much. Have you heard Disfears cover of Bombanfalls “Hälsning från helvete”?
14. WHAT YOU FEEL WHEN YOU HEAR NEWS ABOUT THE CURRENT "WAR CRISIS" IN GEORGIA????....WAR IS THE REASON TO STOP THE HUMAN MADNES FOREVER???
Fisen: Don’t know what to say, it’s very sad. I feel so powerless when it comes to topics like this. We have no speech among the great masses. Our words and protests ain’t worth shit. The government and the police cover up for the leaders in this fucked up corrupted system. As long as there will be greed around the globe there will forever be wars. History repeats it self, when will the leaders ever learn?
15. AND...FINAL WORDS....FEEL FREE TO TALK SHIT...HAHA...
Fisen: Thanks for the interview bro! Take care and good luck with Besthöven in the future. Don’t let the system grind you down. D-beat will never die! Horns up.
Fetebob: Thanx for interest in warvictims.. if we could get our shit together maybe we can come over and play some shows with Besthöven. Up the fucking punx!!!

Swedish punk zine SKITLIV! has us all fooled
I pick up the 2 latest copies of Swedish punk-zine “SKITLIV!” in an independent record shop in Stockholm’s tourist/alternative area, The Old Town. As I pay the 10 kronor (80 pence) that they cost each, the guy in the shop tells me that the people behind this are extremely secretive and always use made up names when they come in to drop their latest issues off.
When I get hold of the two very friendly yet mysterious undercover minds behind this publication a couple of weeks later, they go under the codenames of “Challe” and “Fisen” (meaning “the fart”) and still refuse to give me their real names. What they do do, however, is tell me the story of their pure example of D.I.Y. alternative media, their controversial fanzine SKITLIV!.
Coming from the deep, dark forests in the north of Sweden and having been involved in the punk scene for almost two decades they know every person there is to know and their contacts have given them some rather juicy information which makes good storytelling. But the mysterious couple are still down to earth: Fisen works at an adult educational association while Challe works at the social insurance office; they have normal jobs in other words.
SKITLIV is Swedish and means “shit-life”. It is a common expression within the Swedish punk-scene and used a lot throughout the texts in the homemade punk-magazine. Challe and Fisen call it a fanzine but in English the word zine might provide a better definition.
The A5-sized zine is fairly thick with just over 70 pages, all in black and white apart from the cover which has been printed onto a different colour paper. The texts themselves are computer-typed and look to have been cut or ripped out and pasted onto backgrounds made of either pictures or drawings.
The zine is made up of interviews with underground punk and hardcore bands, reviews of CDs, DVDs along with jokes, wine recipes, short features of bands and random bits of cartoons, advertisements and collages. There is also a great amount of pictures throughout, a lot of swearing, and many spelling errors and on the whole a distinctive alcohol-glorifying attitude.
Challe and Fisen are two made up characters, two dirty punks who live off (the in Sweden quite generous) benefits the state gives them, spending their miserable days partying and taking drugs. The zine is full of their stupid remarks and failing tasteless jokes and their stories take the swinish lifestyle to a whole new level.
The two punk say that there is not a theme as such but that alcohol and drug-glorification does characterise SKITLIV!.
The interviews are generally formulated so that the person answering is being harassed in one way or another while the band “Warvictims” is glorified. When asked if SKITLIV! only exists to promote this (their) band they laugh and say that they can see why I think so but that the band actually was born from the zine. The real Challe and Fisen initially wanted to provoke the interviewed bands and when people started asking about this amazing band which they constantly referred to, they started it to prove that they were “real”. Warvictims has their first gig in June 2006 and have to this date released ten CDs and 7”s.
SKITLIV! is from start one big joke, Challe and Fisen tell me. They wanted to take the piss out of all the narrow-minded punks in Sweden:
“It is seen as legitimate to act like a swine if you look like a punk who only drinks and doesn’t care about anything.”
But they also wanted to see how far they could push something, they wanted to provoke and create reactions, to see what irony and humour was and how far it could be taken.
The fanzine itself was born in 2005 when the dream of a secret project together had been alive for several years already.
So far eight issues have been made and even though threats were made in issue number six that they were going to quit, the guys reveal that their unofficial plan from start has been to make ten copies and then stop. In their last issue everything will be explained and apologies will be made. If anything will be done after that, then it will not be for at least another couple of years and if so then with international bands.
Their inspiration comes most and foremost from Swedish raw punk-magazine “Sika Äpärä” which had its golden years throughout the 1990s. But, as the guys are quick to say, there are great differences between the two punk zines too. SKITLIV! does its amount of research and preparing of questions before meeting a band for an interview while it’s forgongers had a mentality of doing things just then and there.
“The attitude is the same though”, Challe and Fisen point out.
They continue to say what a shame it is that the punk zines of the Swedish 90s have all disappeared while Internet zines have taken over:
“You want to hold a paper while you are sitting on the loo, not a bloody laptop!”
SKITLIV! is produced in true alternative “Do It Yourself”- style with interviews being computer-written, printed out, torn apart and glued onto various backgrounds. This is then taken to a printer, but as Fisen and Challe say, you can’t take this kind of stuff anywhere and after having emptied the printer at Fisen’s job of ink for the first issue, they have now found a printer company who are actually big fans of SKITLIV!.
“We get very mixed reactions; the “older” audience love it while most of the younger kids think we are drug-glorifying, homophobic, racist and degrading towards women. We are in real life obviously opposed to all of these forms of oppression.”
The guy in the earlier mentioned record shop, another fan of the fanzine, also said that these guys have done well for themselves and I think they have in many ways, in many ways but money wise. They produce ca 150 copies of each issue and for each issue they lose around 2750 kronor (220 pounds); it is quite clear that they are not in it for the money, which other mainstream music-publications often are.
But there are other ways of telling that SKITLIV! is not a so called “mainstream” but a so called “alternative” zine.
First of all the very look of it gives a clearly homemade impression and second of all it can only be found in a very limited amount of places. Production and distribution methods also prove how alternative this project is; no mainstream media would cut and glue their original copies together in this way and definitely not finish the whole thing off with lots of black marker pen before handing it to the printers.
Decision-making is also done mutually; there is trace of the traditional mainstream newsroom hierarchy:
“Fisen is probably the more active and driving force behind SKITIV!, but we develop ideas and make decisions together along with most of the interviews. No one “decides” more”, Challe explains.
They continue explaining why they aren’t a mainstream production:
“Of course it’s alternative! That’s what’s so great about making a fanzine; it’s all about the D.I.Y- mentality. Do it yourself and don’t let anyone else decide over you what it should look like. You can write whatever you like and no one can come and point things out or censor your words. Only you set the limit for what you want to produce. A fanzine isn’t full of commercial crap advertisement but with homemade flyers about album releases, gigs etc. Another fact is that Close-Up (mainstream Swedish rock magazine) is shit while SKITLIV! always delivers.”
“Closeup” is the big Swedish rock magazine but there are many more music magazines in Sweden, such as “Nöjesguiden”, “Groove”, “Denimize”, “På Stan”, “OKEJ” and “Sonic”.
There are other independent punk zines too but, just as these guys point out to me, they take a long time for each issue they produce. Having released 8 issues in just over two years is in other words a bit of an achievement for SKITLIV!.
“But,” they laugh, “that might just have to do with the fact that we don’t have any lives…”
Challe and Fisen are very prompt with pointing out that they never ever censor anything and that what is said in the paper is exactly what the bands have said themselves. Yet they are not as open and truthful when it comes to describing themselves to the readers:
“It is great fun stepping into the characters of Challe and Fisen, because they are so extremely exaggerated and almost the exact opposites of whom we really are. There is sometimes some truth in what we write and a lot of stories are based on true stories but they are then very, very much sexed up.”
“We mix truth with lies so that people don’t know what is made up and what is not. Some of the records we review we haven’t even listened to, the whole thing is just one big lie”, the say and laugh.
Pictures are taken from the Internet and copied and pasted into collages, forming the backgrounds of the zine along with its front page and picture material throughout. They even admit to having stolen one or two features straight off from other magazines. There are no second thoughts about copyright or image rights and on the whole they don’t take themselves very serious:
“In the broad masses’ media we probably don’t make a difference, but there is obviously some kind of demand among the Swedish punks. It’s not like you can go and buy SKITLIV! in any newsagent,” they explain modestly.
SKITLIV! is sold via Warvictim’s myspace-page, in small independent punk-shops and in that independent record-shop in Stockholm’s Old town. But myspace is the main distributor, something which is realised with mixed feelings:
“It is all very practical with e-mail, homepages, myspace and all what it is called but it is so impersonal and modernized. We want go back to landlines, fax-machines and normal letters! Revolution now!”
And it is not only here that these guys indicate their longing for the past good old days; they have even kept the “old traditional 1990s price”, 10 kronor, even though production price actually comes to 16 kronor. “Feel free to call us nostalgic”, they say and laugh once more.
What I love about SKITLIV! is the determination to do things the way you want them to be done and the lack of fear of being deemed old and boring for still putting it into print rather than putting it onto the Internet for everyone and no one.
It is the fact that there is so much irony, controversy and provoking going on that does not even hit the eye at first that makes it such an ultimate example of pure journalism. It plays that exact role that journalism is supposed to in a democracy, it questions and points out and even ridicules what is normally taken for granted. That it is not big scale politics which it is done to makes no difference; it is still a foot up the arses of the many people who live a certain lifestyle only to get away with real life.
It is a case of you holding this little homemade photocopied zine, with a picture of Santa Claus smoking and holding a gun on the front page, in your hand and feeling more than slightly suspicious about it. You open it and it is full of bad spelling, pictures of puking punks and porn reviews and you are just about to put it away in disgust when it hits you: this is a joke, it is raw sarcasm and it is pure genius.

WARVICTIMS intervju, Warsystem #?, augusti 2007 (SWE)
Intervju till Warsystem, augusti 2007. Ej publiserad (vad vi vet iaf). Challe och Fisen har svarat på frågorna.
1. Berätta lite för de som inte vet vilka ni är, line-up, favoritband (allas favoritband är väl Discharge?) och så vidare...
- Warvictims från Uppsala/Stockholm dräggpunx. Vevar d-takt o råpunk me texter om det kriget o hela den där grejjen. Vi skiter i allt o kör på i den gamla DIS-skolan. Line uppen i dagsläget är: Challe på sång, Fisen på bas, Johan på gitarr, Chackas på trummor (han e tillbaks nu, de funka fan inte me Chrille, han söp för lite..hehe) o så har vi just tagit med en ny sångare som kommer köra växelsång me Challe framöver, de kommer bli rått som satan, i sann E.N.T anda. Vi fördriver tiden med skola o ligga på soffan. Fisen o Challe gör sverigest råast käng zine SKITLIV! vid sidan av all skit o misär. Vi snittar på en ålder på 23, men hur intri e det på en skala? Vi är allti på jakt efter billigt röka, maila om ni ha nå bra kran o dela med er av. Va det gäller Discharge så tycker dom flesta av oss att dom kör ganska trött o långsam jävla skit käng! Dom har ju en massa råa riff, men dom kör ju långtradar käng asså.. Va de nå mer du undra?? Ring Krusse så kan han säkert svara..
2. När kommer LPn Until Man Exists No More ut?
- Vi väntar bara på Steve Of War ska rita klart omslaget o sen skickas helvetet på tryck. Allt annat har varit klart sen en tid tillbaka nu. Skiten har dragit ut på tiden som bara faan. E så jävla less nu. Det kommer ialla fall bli en usa press o en europa press på LPn o sen så är det nå jänkar bolag som släpper en CD version på fanskapet också. Kommer väl mellan oktober o december skulle vi tippa. Fan vilken ångest…
3. Hur känns det inför det släppet? Tror ni den kommer att leva upp till Krigsoffer E.P.?
- Blir nog svårt att leva upp till debuten tror jag. Det är en mulligare produktion på lpn å skit, men Krigsoffer EPn körde vi i ett jävla svep. Rakt på sak liksom... LPn har vi krånglat så jävla mycke med. Den blir ju bra den också, fast på ett annat sätt. Lite mer som Driller Killer som Bodenmalm skulle ha sagt. Till nästa släpp så går vi tillbaks till en råare o skitigare produktion. Vi har redan färdigt material för en ny mini-lp på åtta låtar. Mer om det sen..hehee...
4. Hur ofta repar ni? Eller tar Skitliv! upp all er tid?
- Vem fan orkar repa när bolaget har lördags öppet? Hehe.. Närå..men alla bor ju lite utspritt o vissa (inga namn nämda) bor ju lite här o där som nå jävla luffare. Svårt att få ihop hela bandet å repa då. Blir oftast att vi bokar studion, träffas 1-2 veckor innan o går igenom senaste skiten vi gjort o sen manglar vi d-takt o super. En del låtar gör vi i studion också… lika bra de. Vi hoppas ju på en turné nu i höst. Få se om vi får ihop skiten. Fan va trasig man kommer va efter de då. Mäsk o gratis röka i nån månad. Fatta vilket jävla vev-liv det kommer bli!
5. Ni har ju jävligt bra texter, hur viktigt är det med texter?
- Tycker du texterna e bra? Har du läst en bra krigstext nångång? Hehe… Vi bara skriver, bryr oss inte så jävla hårt faktiskt. Kul att du diggar dom iaf… Blir lätt upprepningar när man matar på me krigstemat hela tiden men vi bryr oss fan inte.. Har börjat variera lite, men inte mycke. Bara de inte låter för patetiskt så funkar de. Går på halvfart ibland, men så har vi ju gjort över 50 låtar vid de här laget…
6. Vad anser ni om gamla punkband som gör comeback?
- Vafan försöker dom bevisa? Dom har ju haft sin tid... sen komma tillbaka som nå trötta avdankade gubbar o suga profit. Skjut oss i huvudet om vi gör nå liknande om en sisådär 15-20år o Warvictims gör nån löjlig återförening. Fast Mob 47 på debaser va ju jävligt rått!! Fan vilken fylla…
7. Vilka är ni egentligen? Varför så anonyma?
- Det är ett jävla tjat hela tiden. Vi hade döskallar på första 7”an för vi tyckte de såg rått ut. På "Until Man Exists No More" LP:n har vi nå live bilder från repan, face off. Hoppas det blir käft på allt jidder framöver nu! Vad vill folk veta liksom? E vi nå jävla idoler elle? Köp Skitliv! Vi skriver ju om oss själva där. Vi har en postbox dit folk kan skicka brevbomber, vi har mail, vi har myspace o vi går på konserter och träffar o super me folk konstant. Hade vi vart anonym hade vi ju som bara lega i nå jävla betongkällare, silat ful koket o vägra prata me folk. Sen så är ju ingen av oss nå direkta skönheter o ha me en jävla massa pose bilder å skit lämnar vi gärna åt andra bög band!!
8. Hur Pk är ni?
- Vem fan e PK? Vi skiter i allt och gör som vi själva vill. Följa nåns jävla regler för vad man får o inte får göra är ju helt jävla värdelöst. Punk handlar väl om att tänka själv? Är så jävla less på all hyckleri å skit.. Så för att svara på din fråga. Vi ligger på minus sidan på PK barometern. Skaffa er ett liv jävla hyndor.
9. Kawakami är död, vad betyder det här för kängscenen?
- De va ju tragiskt de där asså. Fast man lär väl ligga där själv om nån månad elle nå år. Vi har spelat in en Disclose cover som ska va me på nån tribut skiva till Kawakami. Disclose har ju betytt en del för Warvictims. Han va en jävel på käng den där jappen. Lär väl dyka upp nån ny riskokare snart.. Tror inte att det kommer betyda så mycke mer än att alla Disclose skivor kommer säljas dyrare på E-bay. Alla punkare är horor som Massgrav alltid har sagt!!

12. Warvictims största influenser?
- Gå in på www.myspace.com/warvictims där hittar du en lista på alla våra influenser. Pallar inte namedroppa alla band en gång till.
Power-metal eller neocrust?
- Inget, båda e lika skit. Rå-punk & D-takt för faan!! Men måste man välja blire nog neocrusten, är de riktigt rått mangel kan man stå ut me slinghelvetet i små doser… Typ på blandband.
Discharge eller Disclose?
- Disclose alla gånger! Discharge suger ju kuk.
Svart eller vitt?
- Beror på om du snackar kläder elle hudfärg..hehee
Arbete eller a-kassa?
- A-kassa med stort A. Fast dom borde höja skiten, knappt man överlever! Fittor!!! Vem fan vill jobba? Tror ingen av oss haft nåt jobb…kanske Chackas.
Full eller nykter?
- Stafettsupa i flera veckor e våran melodi! Knäcka, bläcka o däcka…hehe.
1. Berätta lite för de som inte vet vilka ni är, line-up, favoritband (allas favoritband är väl Discharge?) och så vidare...
- Warvictims från Uppsala/Stockholm dräggpunx. Vevar d-takt o råpunk me texter om det kriget o hela den där grejjen. Vi skiter i allt o kör på i den gamla DIS-skolan. Line uppen i dagsläget är: Challe på sång, Fisen på bas, Johan på gitarr, Chackas på trummor (han e tillbaks nu, de funka fan inte me Chrille, han söp för lite..hehe) o så har vi just tagit med en ny sångare som kommer köra växelsång me Challe framöver, de kommer bli rått som satan, i sann E.N.T anda. Vi fördriver tiden med skola o ligga på soffan. Fisen o Challe gör sverigest råast käng zine SKITLIV! vid sidan av all skit o misär. Vi snittar på en ålder på 23, men hur intri e det på en skala? Vi är allti på jakt efter billigt röka, maila om ni ha nå bra kran o dela med er av. Va det gäller Discharge så tycker dom flesta av oss att dom kör ganska trött o långsam jävla skit käng! Dom har ju en massa råa riff, men dom kör ju långtradar käng asså.. Va de nå mer du undra?? Ring Krusse så kan han säkert svara..
2. När kommer LPn Until Man Exists No More ut?
- Vi väntar bara på Steve Of War ska rita klart omslaget o sen skickas helvetet på tryck. Allt annat har varit klart sen en tid tillbaka nu. Skiten har dragit ut på tiden som bara faan. E så jävla less nu. Det kommer ialla fall bli en usa press o en europa press på LPn o sen så är det nå jänkar bolag som släpper en CD version på fanskapet också. Kommer väl mellan oktober o december skulle vi tippa. Fan vilken ångest…
3. Hur känns det inför det släppet? Tror ni den kommer att leva upp till Krigsoffer E.P.?
- Blir nog svårt att leva upp till debuten tror jag. Det är en mulligare produktion på lpn å skit, men Krigsoffer EPn körde vi i ett jävla svep. Rakt på sak liksom... LPn har vi krånglat så jävla mycke med. Den blir ju bra den också, fast på ett annat sätt. Lite mer som Driller Killer som Bodenmalm skulle ha sagt. Till nästa släpp så går vi tillbaks till en råare o skitigare produktion. Vi har redan färdigt material för en ny mini-lp på åtta låtar. Mer om det sen..hehee...
4. Hur ofta repar ni? Eller tar Skitliv! upp all er tid?
- Vem fan orkar repa när bolaget har lördags öppet? Hehe.. Närå..men alla bor ju lite utspritt o vissa (inga namn nämda) bor ju lite här o där som nå jävla luffare. Svårt att få ihop hela bandet å repa då. Blir oftast att vi bokar studion, träffas 1-2 veckor innan o går igenom senaste skiten vi gjort o sen manglar vi d-takt o super. En del låtar gör vi i studion också… lika bra de. Vi hoppas ju på en turné nu i höst. Få se om vi får ihop skiten. Fan va trasig man kommer va efter de då. Mäsk o gratis röka i nån månad. Fatta vilket jävla vev-liv det kommer bli!
5. Ni har ju jävligt bra texter, hur viktigt är det med texter?
- Tycker du texterna e bra? Har du läst en bra krigstext nångång? Hehe… Vi bara skriver, bryr oss inte så jävla hårt faktiskt. Kul att du diggar dom iaf… Blir lätt upprepningar när man matar på me krigstemat hela tiden men vi bryr oss fan inte.. Har börjat variera lite, men inte mycke. Bara de inte låter för patetiskt så funkar de. Går på halvfart ibland, men så har vi ju gjort över 50 låtar vid de här laget…
6. Vad anser ni om gamla punkband som gör comeback?
- Vafan försöker dom bevisa? Dom har ju haft sin tid... sen komma tillbaka som nå trötta avdankade gubbar o suga profit. Skjut oss i huvudet om vi gör nå liknande om en sisådär 15-20år o Warvictims gör nån löjlig återförening. Fast Mob 47 på debaser va ju jävligt rått!! Fan vilken fylla…
7. Vilka är ni egentligen? Varför så anonyma?
- Det är ett jävla tjat hela tiden. Vi hade döskallar på första 7”an för vi tyckte de såg rått ut. På "Until Man Exists No More" LP:n har vi nå live bilder från repan, face off. Hoppas det blir käft på allt jidder framöver nu! Vad vill folk veta liksom? E vi nå jävla idoler elle? Köp Skitliv! Vi skriver ju om oss själva där. Vi har en postbox dit folk kan skicka brevbomber, vi har mail, vi har myspace o vi går på konserter och träffar o super me folk konstant. Hade vi vart anonym hade vi ju som bara lega i nå jävla betongkällare, silat ful koket o vägra prata me folk. Sen så är ju ingen av oss nå direkta skönheter o ha me en jävla massa pose bilder å skit lämnar vi gärna åt andra bög band!!
8. Hur Pk är ni?
- Vem fan e PK? Vi skiter i allt och gör som vi själva vill. Följa nåns jävla regler för vad man får o inte får göra är ju helt jävla värdelöst. Punk handlar väl om att tänka själv? Är så jävla less på all hyckleri å skit.. Så för att svara på din fråga. Vi ligger på minus sidan på PK barometern. Skaffa er ett liv jävla hyndor.
9. Kawakami är död, vad betyder det här för kängscenen?
- De va ju tragiskt de där asså. Fast man lär väl ligga där själv om nån månad elle nå år. Vi har spelat in en Disclose cover som ska va me på nån tribut skiva till Kawakami. Disclose har ju betytt en del för Warvictims. Han va en jävel på käng den där jappen. Lär väl dyka upp nån ny riskokare snart.. Tror inte att det kommer betyda så mycke mer än att alla Disclose skivor kommer säljas dyrare på E-bay. Alla punkare är horor som Massgrav alltid har sagt!!

FORUMSNACK - Helgon
Har man inget vettigare för sig så kan man ju alltid sitta på helgon och diskutera om vilka som är med i Warvictims och inte. Det spårar ur på en del ställen, dock jävligt rolig läsning!070811 - Shitlicker:
"Nå, vad har ni för teorier? Vilka är Warvictims egentligen? Jag tror som såhär; Challe of Warvictims är Calle of Discontrol då båda kommer från Uppsala och skriver ofta ”Skål” och namnen är ju snarlika, fast jag kan ju ha fel..."
070811 - orb:
"Det kan ju vara en teori. Själv har jag ingen aning vad det är för idioter, men lira kan dom ju fan."
070811 - Grimjaur:
"Borde vara lätt att identifiera Fisen på alla gaddar."
070815 - Minkompisbassam:
"Nej gaddarna är ju photoshopade på warvictims bilder, ser man direkt! jag älskar den här tråden"
070815 - Joensuu:
"de har sagt en jävla massa grejer i samma anda i de otaliga zinen challe o fisen lämnat eftervärlden. fast du är ju från uppsala, så rimligen skulle du kunna vara en av dem och startar bara tråden för att veta hur ballt folk egentligen tycker att warvictims är.. aaahhaa. något på spåren? ;)"
070815 - Shitlicker:
"Hehe, jag är nog lite väl ung för att vara med i Warvictims, tyvärr alltså. Vore ju dock inte helt fel att vara med i Warvictims. :)"
070811 - Joensuu:
"ung? vem säger att de som lirar inte är 16-17 bast? har de lirat live nån gång? om jag inte minns fel så var potin i auktion inte gammal när de började lira, och så länge har warvictims inte lirat.."
070815 - Shitlicker:
"Folk säger att de är över 30 snåret. Live vet jag faktiskt inte, men de kanske kommer till ”Drägglock Fest” och de har lovat att spela på nästa Uppsala Punkfestival, så återstår väl att se."
070815 - Joensuu:
"ja det låter ju sannerligen inte som de är över 30 om man läser skitlivfanzinet. där skriver nån av dem iaf att han bor hemma hos morsan osv, och humorn är väl inte vad man normalt förknippar med en 30-årings kanske. men vem vet"
070815 - Napalmolive:
"Ett flertal borde ju veta, det är märkligt att ingen har kläckt ur sig sanningen redan...och just därför så kanske det är en stor konspiration ja! *flämt*"
070815 - CHRIST_OF_FEaR:
"äh skaffa dig ett liv istället!"
070812 - Napalmolive:
"Dom har stålar iaf, det är en sak som är klar. Näfan, jävla svin är vad dom är, komma här med flashiga klistermärken och pins och ge ut zines jätteofta och ha en postbox som kostar 1600kr per år. Och varför detta hemlighetsmakeri? Gissningsvis infiltratörer från A.C.A."
070812 - Shitlicker:
"Ja, pengar är något som de har mycket av, men de försöker framstå som att de lever på billiga nudlar. Men du har sett att de faktiskt har bilder på sig nu på Warvictims myspace?"
070815 - Minkompisbassam:
"De kanske har mycket pengar eftersom de lever på billiga nudlar? :)"
070813 - CbEatwhorejunky:
"Massgrav sålde warvictims ep i sandviken hehe"
070813 - Shitlicker:
"Jo, jag hörde det, verkar lite skumt."
070813 - Napalmolive:
"Det börjar bli värsta konspirationsteorin nu. Jag pumpade Benny på info men han sa sig inte veta, däremot så kände han nån som KANSKE visste nåt. Arrrhh.."
070813 - Kapten skitbakfull:
"dom bilderna på dom i skitliv nr 1 är ja osäker på om de ens är dom för den bilden på han från uppsala finns de ingen som känner igen å plötsligt flyttade han till malmö. låter mer som ingen sån person skulle finnas i u-a så därför säger han att han flyttade. fan man skriver med dom i skitliv å allt men ja har fan inte en aning om vilka dom är! man borde dra en redaktions möte med dom så man får se vilka dom är om dom går med på de.."
070813 - Shitlicker:
"Challe på bilden i Skitliv 1 är ju egentligen sångaren i Hotbild, så antagligen snodde de en bild då bara. Ja, du får begära redaktionsmöte och fotografera grabbarna!"
070814 - Kapten skitbakfull:
"hehe ha med spionkamera så folk vet vilka dom är sen! ja vist var de så med den bilden? undrar vem den andra är på den bilden i så fall.. mysterium från helvetet de här!"
070814 - Napalmolive:
"Och det kan inte vara så att Hotbildsnubben är med då?"
070814 - Shitlicker:
"Fast enligt dem själva så är de inte hemliga alls (har gjort en intervju med dem till zinet), och där säger de att det bara var snyggt med döskallar på Krigsoffer och att de överlåter poserbilder till andra bögband, typ. Fast till nya LPn så kommer det livebilder från repan, helt face off."
070814 - FerociousX:
"kolla med scooby doo dom kan lösa alla mysterier"
070815 - Minkompisbassam:
"Ingen som misstänker att någon/några är driller killer folk?"
070815 - Napalmolive:
"Gör du?"
070815 - Minkompisbassam:
"Ja lite grann, först mamlögrejen såklart. Sen är ju en bild på basisten från Driller killers bilder omgjordgjord i svartvit kängformat och ligger på Warvictims myspace. Sen har ju en exmedlem i Driller killer spelat trummor, som heter Christer. (Chrille?) Sen finns ju Charlie som spelar trummor nu i Driller killer och en Charlie sjunger i Warvictims. Krångligt det blev, hoppas du hajjar. Allt detta kan ju vara gjort med flit dock för att folk ska nojja och ha konspirationsteorier hehe."
070815 - Napalmolive:
"Men det är ju gubbar (som mig då fast äldre ändå), om det stämmer vore det ju bisarrt.. speciellt så fjortisbuskis som Skitliv är, men helt orimligt låter det ju inte heller. Konspiration är det helt klart, förr el senare leder spåren mot Area51. Ufokäng."
070815 - Minkompisbassam:
"Ja det tänkte jag också, men är alla verkligen av den äldre generationen? De nya medlemmarna skulle ju kunna vara ungt blod. Kom på att jag också såg ett driller killer inlägg där det stod ”Skål” som tidigare nämnt. Haha Ufokäng, ny genre att haka på och satsa?"
070815 - Napalmolive:
"Men basisten i DK är väl runt 30 eller strax under kanske. Chrille och Charlie måste väl vara 40. Att ordet ”skål” nämns som ett slags bevismaterial är nog tamejfan bäst med den här konspirationen."
070815 - Minkompisbassam:
"Så pass ja man vet ju aldrig. Haha ja skålargumentet är lite löst, men hur många skriver det så ofta, egentligen ;D"
070815 - Napalmolive:
"Uncurbed-trummisen brukar skriva skål har jag sett, fast han bor väl i Avesta.."
070815 - Årrepä:
"nej, det är ju fan jag!"
070815 - Napalmolive:
"Så var det ja, jag såg nåt om det nånstans. Nå...var får du pengar till alla klistermärken, pins, fanzines som går 1500 back per nr, skivsläpp osv? Gigolo?"
070815 - Årrepä:
"jag lurar soc, försäkringskassa, arbetsförmedligen och skattemyndigheterna. allt på en gång!!"
070815 - Alcoholocaust:
"Jag har för mig att en av medlemmarna är runt 24-25.. men att nån av killarna i DK skulle hålla på med Skitliv känns lagom bizzart."
070815 - CHRIST_OF_FEaR:
"ledsen att göra dig å alla andra besvikna, men varken jag eller nån annan från DK har något med warvictims eller skitliv att göra. ingen av oss skulle va kapabla att åstadkomma något så bra. hur fan kan du skriva att mina bilder ligger på warvictims myspace? kollar du inte upp saker innan du börjar sprida rykten? f ö de mest långsökta teorier jag nånsin vart med om."
070815 - Napalmolive:
"Om boysen i Warvictims läser den här tråden så gnuggar dom händerna och känner sig nöjda över uppmärksamheten."

D-TAKT & RÅPUNK reviews (SWE / ENG)
If you have done or read any reviews released at D-Takt & Råpunk Records. Please get in touch! Thanks.
NUCLEAR DEATH TERROR "Demo 2005" 7”/ D-takt & Råpunk Records/ DTAKT006
Format: Singel 3/5
Det här är alltså 4 av de 8 låtarna som återfinns på NDT:s kassett från 2005. Hade ju inte hört danskjävlarna innan och nu i efterhand kan jag väl säga att jag inte direkt hade missat nåt. Brötig crust som varken suger eller knäcker. Det som är bra är att det är jämt bröl med schysst ljud så man kan ha skiten på i bakgrunden när man sitter och super. Ibland meckar dom till det vilket vi verkligen hoppas att dom lägger av med.

NUCLEAR DEATH TERROR - Demo 2005 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)
In 2005 Nuclear Death Terror released a demo tape containing eight tracks that was very well received, and this 7" has four of these tracks. Those of you who have their LP know what you're in for; dark pounding crustcore with more than a few hints of metal. Not too slow and not too fast, but really hard and powerful. There is a difference between these demo tracks and the LP though, and this difference lies in the sound. This 7" is darker and more "messy" for the lack of a better word, while the LP is a bit crisper in its sound. But that's usually the difference between a demo and a full-length - the sound. I'm not saying these tracks have a poor sound though, just pointing out the difference. Even though I personally like the LP better I do know people who prefer the demo and its rumbling sound over the bigger platter, and I'm not arguing with the opinion that this is real good stuff. If you already own the demo you don't need this as it's the exact same recording, only half the amount of tracks. But if you dug the LP and/or are interested in getting you're hands on some crustcore brutality this is a good place to look.

NUCLEAR DEATH TERROR-DEMO 2005(SINGEL D-TAKT RÅPUNK RECORDS DTAKT 006)
A demo from 2005 is never wrong, anyway when it´s so good as it is when NDT does it. Sure we have Discharge, Disorder just to mention som wellknown bands but I think that NDT is a little bit more tougher than those bands. The things which does their music a little bit good is that the let their songs be a little bit slower sometimes and it does them good. You must really show who you are when you listen to this but in the same time as they are really raw they´re really melodic too....how stupid that maybe can sound.(SEVEN) 28/12-07

NUCLEAR DEATH TERROR – Demo 2005 7” (D-takt & Råpunk, Dtakt006)
Stabil crustcore från Köpenhamn som stolt för vidare crustcorearvet från Doom, ENT och andra 90-tals storheter. Har inte hört N.D.T. tidigare men det låter bra, riktigt rå och hederlig råpunk som är stöpt efter den klassiska mallen. Är väl föga originellt men det är ju inte heller meningen. Demo 2005 innehåller 4 låtar (8 låtar finns på originaldemon som släpptes nämnda årtal av Plague Bearer), gillar speciellt Life of Pain, vars refräng låter riktigt bra. N.D.T. har visst släppt en fullis också, kanske skulle ta och kolla upp den, för detta låter ju götta. Stabil crustcore som sagt, inget fansy utan bara bra mangel.

WARVICTIMS – When the innocent Cry Cd-r (Egen)
Skitliv-redaktionen vevar inte bara ut fanzine i ett rasande tempo utan under namnet Warvictims vevar de råpunk och verkar nästan vara lika produktiva. When the innocent Cry bjuder på rå crustpunk och alla ingredienser som behövs för att göra bra råpunk finns väl i stort sett, men jag tycker att det här går på tok för långsamt. Visst, midtempo d-takt funkar jävligt bra ibland men när 5 låtar av 5 är lika slöa så tycker i alla fall jag att det blir lite tradigt. Slöheten gör även att man ganska tydligt hör att svårighetsgraden på låtarna är allt annat än hög, dessutom är det inte några direkt bra låtar heller. Som tur är för Warvictims är ljudet och produktionen ganska rå och sången är jävligt grovlig och rå så det funkar ju, men materialet är inget man direkt lägger på minnet. Om dom håller samma takt på låtskrivandet som på fanzinemakeriet så lär dom ju ha spelat in 100 låtar till inom kort så man kan ju hoppas att det är lite mer fart på några av dem i alla fall. Gillar du midtempo krigspunk med growl bör du kolla upp. Förresten så är det inte ett enda solo på den här plattan, SKANDAL, som alla vet bör det vara (minst) ett solo i varje låt. Plattan är inspelad i Bombshelter Studio förresten, innebär detta att det är Rodde som spelat in den, för hans studio heter väl så!? Det är som med röka, ”standard” funkar ju men det är inte så jävla ball i längden.

Warvictims - When the innocent cry CD-R
Genre: Crustcore, Origin: Sweden, Released: 2007, Website: Warvicictims Label: DRR001, Uploaded:24.04.07, Grade:7/10
This demo accompanies the third issue of the Swedish fanzine Skitliv!, but since that zine sucks so much arse it obviously not a serious work I won’t waste my time reviewing it. The Warvictims demo When the innocent cry, however, is a completely different story. It’s still the same guys as the Skitliv! crew, but on another level altogether. With just a quick glance at the cover you know this is d-beat, no questions asked. And while Discharge is an obvious choice for inspiration, I get a strong Svart Parad vibe for the music as well as Warcollapse and Mörder for the grunts. Sure, the back to the basics, old school d-beat, Discharge worshipping has been done so many times it’s almost unbearable, I dare say this is some of the better stuff I’ve heard in the vein lately. The sound quality is way better than most demos and albums of the genre, and I really appreciate the growling main vocals, which enhances the heaviness of the tunes. It’s also refreshing with some Swedish lyrics. Sure, it’s the same war topic as everything else when it comes to dis-crust, but it’s fairly unusual to do it in Swedish. Anyway, the zine sucks but the music kills.

Warvictims - When the innocent cry CD-R
War, war, war, war... Warvictims. D-beat-, war- and dis-bands are funny phenomenas, some bands make it all the way and some don't. And I'm afraid I can't say that Warvictims belong amongst the bands mentioned first. Highly repetitive and dull concerning both guitar riffs and lyrics, actually they use the same concept for more than two songs; the only variation is a different key and change of lyrics. It's good to know that there are new bands like this sprouting, and I know there are people out there who like this kind of stuff. But personally I would have wanted more variation and that the bands would broaden their horizons a little bit more.

MARDRÖM "När Mardrömmen Blir Till Verklighet" EP/ D-takt & Råpunk Records/ DTAKT003
Format: Singel 3/5
Helt OK råpunk med medlemmar från bl.a. Dödsdömd, Totalt Jävla Mörker och Uncle Charles. Det är ju inget nytt under solen direkt men det är ju inte heller vad man väntar sig av ett släpp på D-takt & Råpunk Records. Ljudet är lite loppigt, kunde ha varit lite mer tryck i skiten men det ska tydligen vara så säger interna källor till Backlash. Den ena snubben bakom micken låter lite väl tillgjord vilket stör lite men samtidigt är det lite kul, som i ”Inget Hopp, Ingen Framtid” där hans mörkröst leder till att man drar på smilbanden. Plattan innehåller 8 spår och är tryckt i 300 ex. så se till att beställa nu.

MARDRÖM - När Mardrömmen Blir Till Verklighet 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)
This is the bands demo that has been put on vinyl after much delay. It was originally planned for Wasted Sounds but has now been made available through this label. There are times when a demo should remain a demo and times when it becoming a vinyl release is well justified. This here 7" is a little bit of both actually. I who don't have the demo are glad I get the tracks but at the same time I think this band can deliver better stuff than what they're doing on here, so perhaps they just as well could have waited until the next recording to do the vinyl. Still, this Warcollapse meets Svart Parad meets Human Waste käng is quite alright and as I said, since I don't have the demo I'm glad this 7" found it's way over here despite not really being anything out of the ordinary. I don't want to be the one to say if a band should exist or not but sometimes I do question all the bands Sylen are involved in as they honestly don't sound too different from each other. It might be his vocals that does it, or it might just be me, but this does sound like something Dödsdömd could have released as a demo a few years back. Four tracks on each side, all lyrics dealing with war and written in the same way Discharge once introduced - a couple of lines for the verse and a couple for the chorus. Maybe it's here we find the explanation to all the bands - some lyrics and themes might suit one band but not the other? The cover is not of the best quality and is simply a folded Xeroxed paper with a similar insert, but I think it had come down to "get it out for little money or don't get it out at all", so I'll look the other way on this one. There are only three hundred made so if you think this is something you'll like you better look up from where you can get it.

MARDRÖM-NÄR MARDRÖMMEN BLIR TILL VERKLIGHET(SINGEL D-TAKT RECORDS 003)
Ojojojoj här var det snabba puckar eller vad man skall kalla det. Jäkligt rå punk med inslag av både tidiga Discharge, Skitsystem och tidiga Napalm Death. Bara krigtsexter är vad vi får oss till livs och man kanske inte jublar av glädje när man hör detta eftersom man kanske inte vill höra texter som behandlar just dessa saker. Men ändå så är det musik som får mig att stampa lite med högerfoten och hade jag varit yngre hade jag kastat mig vilt runt i rummet men nu nöjer jag mig som sagt med ett stilla diggande men jag ler lite grand i smyg för den här typen av råpunk är riktigt bra.(SJU)

MARDROM"Nar madrommen blir till verklighet" ep(d-takt records 2006)
At the first introduction it is necessary to say that on this band serve elements of the best Svedish band. To mention some name: Dodsdomd, Human waste and Totalt Javla Morker. With this backgrounds the result can be only good. In this 7 inches there aren't rocking influences typical of Human Waste and melodic that can take to the memory the Total Java Morker. There are only 8 tracks of pure and primordial raw punk/d-beat, without contamination , without melody, without “correct” or studied sound. It is possible to find only a lot of sweat, attitude, coldness and anger. The beat rhythm are sustained by 2 voices, one deep and another shriek and wrenching. All this is enrich by simple but incisive bass-guitar's riffs, stop'n'go and some remote and melancholic guitar's melody.A good job on his simplicity , uncouthness,and anger advised to lover of pure and hard d-beat and at who love to surf on this could ryhtms.

WARVICTIMS "D-Beat Destruction" EP/ D-takt & Råpunk Records/ DTAKT004
Format: Singel. Betyg: 4.
Warvictims går från klarhet till klarhet. Så här skall det fan låta! D-takt hela jävla tiden, förutom i avslutande ”Fucked For Life” som trots sin klockrena lyrik hindrar den här sjuan från att få full pott. De väl använda kängriffen står som spön i backen och jag sitter med en kall starköl i näven & bara njuter. Fem låtar bjuds det på och det vrålas på svenska i tre av dom. Krigsoffrena dammar även av en av Cimex bästa; ”When The Innocent Die” och de gör det bra. Synd bara att mixerkillen inte drog upp reglaget under solot. Det finns inte ett skit att tveka på här, bara att beställa skiten direkt från bandet.

WARVICTIMS D-Beat Destruction 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)
A cool drawing by Steve (Visions of War), the band logo in Discharge lettering, the title, and a stripe across the top right corner saying "Raw punk assault!" is what first meets the eye - kinda gives you an idea, right? I've heard the band before so I knew to expect some Warcollapse styled stuff, but these four tracks, plus a cover of "When the innocent die" by Anti-Cimex, is a bit faster than other material I've heard and in my opinion also better. It still is exactly what you expect it to be though and there are no surprises hidden on here musically, but I still enjoy the tunes. Especially the last track "Fucked for life" where they go for a GG Allin meets Driller Killer kind of catchiness. The lyrics are steeped in the d-beat mould with three of them dealing with war and "Fucked for life" about getting wasted on booze and pills. I'm pretty sure this band has set out to do everything by the book and so we probably shouldn't expect any thought provoking lyrics any time soon. Even though it's become a cliché in punk lyrics war is horrendous, and despite the fact that probably ninety percent of those who write these kinds of lyrics don't really care too much, there are more pointless topics to deal with. However I can't get past the fact that a couple of the guys in this band also are responsible for the Swedish zine Skitliv which is one of the more moronic zines I've ever read, slandering women, gays, and whoever left and right. I get enough of that crap from the ignorant assholes outside of punk and I don't need it here. I have very mixed feelings about this 7" and I didn't know how to approach it really. At the end I decided to give it an honest review and let you, the reader, decide whether you want to support this band or not.

WARVICTIMS – D-beat Destruction 7” (D-takt & Råpunk, Dtakt004)
Warvictims fortsätter att mangla ut släpp och kvalitetsmässigt så tar det väl sig också för varje släpp. Det är lite snabbare och lite bättre driv än tidigare också och det tackar vi för. Annars är det väl samma gruffiga crustcore som tidigare. Helt okej fast dom håller helt klart till i mellanskicktet där det finns allt för många som kör på rätt bra men som har en bit kvar.I avslutande Fucked For Life får råpunken stå tillbaka för mer hardcoreaktiga tongångar som musikaliskt påminner om Linköpinghardcore som i Outlast och Nines, drivigare låtar (lyssna på låten så fattar ni vad jag menar). Ytterligare ett släpp som är helt okej, däremot fattar jag inte varför man ska ha med Cimex-covern, When The Innocent Die när man inte sätter solot, känns jävligt meningslöst, solot är ju bäst!

GIFTGASATTACK/DISLICKERS split 7" (D-takt & Råpunk/Warsong)
Four tracks of ear-piercing cracked distortion - that's pretty much all that is needed to say about Giftgasattack. This is insanely raw and while I normally enjoy the style a lot this is a bit too intense. Imagine Disclose and Atrocious Madness playing live at the same time, both using completely blown out, and not very qualitative, speakers and you should have a fairly good idea of the noise on here. I'm not saying it sucks, I'm just saying it's pure chaos and not very nice on the ears. Where Giftgasattack might have their eyes and ears directed at Japanese acts, Dislickers are more interested in the Swedish raw hardcore bands from the mid to late 80's which in turn took their inspiration from the UK. Roughly played, roughly recorded, hardcore that reminds me of bands such as Anti-Cimex, Bombanfall to some extent, and similar stuff. If these tracks would have turned out to be from the mid 90's instead of 2006 I wouldn't have been surprised as this bunch would have fit well with the million Dis-whatever bands that were operating at the time. If they would have stood out from the crowd ten-something years ago I don't know, but today I needed some basic raw d-beat and I'm enjoying this. If you're looking for originality you better not turn to Dislickers, but if primal d-beat with a raw recording complete with the gruff vocals and occasional short sharp solos is what you're after you'll get your fix here.

GIFTGASATTACK/DISLICKERS(SINGEL D-TAKT RÅPUNK RECORDS DTAKT 007) Wonderful names on crustpunkgroups....it´s unfortunaly so that the music doesn´t have the same high class. Giftgasattack is too much distortion and there´s only small glimpses of light in their music....Anticimes too fast and then you understand. Dislickers is a little bit better even if it´s the same type of stonecrushercrust. But here you can find some nyances in the music anyway even if this could be too much even for a sort like me....noooo.(FIVE) r 28/12-07

GIFTGASATTACK / DISLICKERS Split 7” (D-takt & Råpunk, DTAKT007)
Ja man kan ju inte anklaga Giftgasattack för att vara överproducerade i alla fall (vi snackar väl 4 kanals kassettporta antar jag) då det är vm i dist och oljud, det enda som hörs någorlunda är väl den överdistade gitarren och till viss del basen. Sången och trummorna hörs, visst, men det är ju allt annat än klart och tydligt. Jag är inte tokeggad på sån där överdistat japansk nitmongopank men bakom allt oljud som finns här kan man allt höra några riktigt vassa riff och ett och annat riktigt gött solo. Ljudet är jävligt jobbigt så detta är inget jag kommer att spela speciellt ofta. Dislickers, ja det hörs väl ganska tydligt på namnet hur det låter. Klassisk svensk dis-hardcore av troget 80-tals snitt. Helt okej fast inget speciellt alls, men det är ju gött att dom kör med solon i alla fall. Sången är inte skitbra (lite hundig) men den duger fint i krigstider. 6 låtar nitmongopank bjuder de på, det låter som det ska göra tycker jag.

GIFTGASATTACK / DISLICKERS "Split-EP" EP/ D-takt & Råpunk Records/ DTAKT007
Format: Singel 2/5
Giftgasattack bidrar med 4 låtar inspelade på en 4-kanals kassettporta och det låter skit. Det går inte att höra ett jävla någe. Det låter som Disclose risigaste demos fast 100 gånger värre. Enough said. Vänder vi på steken så hittar vi 6 låtar med skåningarna i Dislickers och det låter precis som man tror att det skall göra när bandet heter Dis… och har nitjackor. Däremot så är det nåt som saknas. Vet inte riktigt vad men det är liksom lite för segt på nåt sätt. Jag gillar ju slö käng men det här är inte slött det är segt. Nåväl, Giftgassidan lyssnar jag nog aldrig mer på men Dislickers kan väl åka på nån mer gång på fyllan.

WARVICTIMS/TORTYR - Split
Warvictims och Tortyr bestämde sig för att göra en splitsjua tillsammans. Här är resultatet. Warvictims – Sida A. På den senaste tiden har jag hört mer och mer om råpunkarna i Warvictims. De har hunnit med att släppa sin sjutummare ”D-beat Destruction” samt en split, vilken denna recension är menad att handla om. Med råpunk menar jag verkligen råpunk. De är betydligt mycket hårdare än sina kollegor på andra sidan skivan. Ska man jämföra båda konstellationerna kanske man till och med kan kalla Tortyr lite trallvänliga. ”Will this horror ever end?” är låten du bör kolla upp på den här plattan. Är du däremot för det lite mer melodiska får du vända på steken och läsa nästa recension.
Tortyr – Sida B. Med en fet smäll rätt i ansiktet får jag Tortyrs mangelbidrag levererat. Detta är antagligen det bästa på hela skivan. När materialet är så pass varierat och låtantalet så pass litet är det svårt att inte fastna för till exempel Skitsystem-präglade ”Inga mirakel” eller den fullkomligt lysande midtempokängan ”Fy faan vad jag hatar dig”. Den stackars individ som har fått den sistnämnda tillägnad sig kan inte ha det helt lätt.

Warvictims/Tortyr 7" Split (D-takt & Råpunk Records/Tortyr Records 2007)
Another made in Sweden product ordered to me from Crustpunk's Administrator. It is a 7 inches split, one side Warvictims the other side Tortyr. Let's go with Warvictims. I'm fond to this five Swedish, beeing this the third work I review aftter "Krigsoffer" e "D-Beat Destruction". I can start saying that who listen this 3 tracks without know, appreciate or understand this kind of music will ask why the band play the same song 3 times. I repeat this oh the last 2 reviews: Warvictims are a d-beat band absoulutly in Discharge style (only a fiew faster), the songs are similar and on this king of music this is not a critic. The only news is taht this 3 songs ("Blodspengar", "Nightmare or reality", "Will this horror ever end?") are faster then the five track of "D-Beat Destruction".Simply and minimal songs, enriched from guitars break and short voice/bass duets. The voice is weight and sometime hight and hysteric. To conclude the style is the same , nothing of new but I go on to appreciate. Going to the side B: Tortyr. A name that i don't know before and the curiosity grow on me day by day. I expect somethig like d-beat'n'roll similar to Human Waste or Disfear, instead, with my surprise I listen something different. Immediatlly my ear get on with the apocaliptic melodies of the four svedish. I can't categorize ina a kind of music but maybe the right term is neocrust. Accelerated D-beat time , cold , shrap and melodic guitars that play riffs that remain on the mind. Very good the excruciating and scream voice, that bring the apocaliptic scenary of the songs. The songs are long (compared with warvictims tracks) not simply and never boring. There are some similitude with Skitsystem, and I risk to say that there are some Balck Metal elements on this tracks (obviously melodic black metal). All is covered by a opaque veil, expecially on the third track "Fy faan vad jag hatar dig". A very good band that i really glad to discover and review. The best think of this split is the difference between the two bands. One side with the massacre of one of the best old school d-beat made in Swedish, on the other side the gelid apocalipse of an excellent "neocrust"band.

WARVICTIMS/TORTYR split 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)
Warvictims are here with another handful of raw d-beat tunes. These tracks are recorded before the ones on the "D-beat destruction" 7" and are also more like the slower stuff they had on their CD-R releases. I really don't have anything against this mid-tempo crusty d-beat but as I've heard later stuff that are better I can't say I'm that excited about the three tracks on here, even if they're not too bad. I still have very mixed feelings towards this band and the attitude of some of the members though.
Tortyr is a new band which, I think, are releasing their first songs through this split. I know there were a demo but I don't think that got a very big circulation. Anyway, on to the music on this release. At first I felt like I would write this band off as another Human Waste reminiscent band - a good one, but none the less very similar. Now I don't write reviews after one listen and so I soon realized that this wasn't true. It is true that Human Waste and similar bands comes to mind, but this is not in any way a clone. The music is in all honesty not too spectacular and it has been done before by many Swedish käng bands, but on the other hand they're hardly alone in borrowing a few riffs and notes from others either so I won't hold it against them. It's all well executed anyway and that beats originality in my book. Some times, like on here, anyway. But it's when it comes to the vocal part that I get real excited. They're truly great and are really what gives this band its edge. When Claes makes his vocal cords vibrate the whole room shakes and there is no doubt he has a lot he wants to get off his chest. Gasoline fuelled anger - intense as hell! What first seemed like a second rate Skitsystem copy turned out to be one of the better Swedish bands currently making their noise heard.

DEATHORTION - War and Starvation 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)
This was recorded December 24 2004 and has been released as the demo "The crustmas sessions" earlier if I'm not mistaken. I don't think the band has done anything since and I'm not even sure they exist anymore, but I wouldn't mind if they did. Through paying homage to Discharge with elements of both Doom and Anti-Cimex these nine tracks results in something that could describe Deathortion, a Swedish band, as sounding like the US bands that in turn are influenced by Swedish bands. Confusing? To simplify - Deathortion remind me of both Discharge and State of Fear (or similar). Either way it's pretty good, not especially complicated, d-beat with a raw sound. Even the worst bands doing this style come off as quite good, so Deathortion have no problem to appeal to the side of me that want it simple and rough - and this lot isn't even among those "worst" ones. You've probably heard it all before delivered by multiple bands, but that doesn't make it bad. It can be uninteresting to some, but the songs don't loose their intensity just because of that. The only thing that bothered the hell out of me was that I couldn't figure out what band it was that's doing "Scapegoat" originally, my mind was totally blank. But then, with a little help, I realized that it sounds a whole lot like "B.S.B.S.F.B.S" by Warcry, a track which in turn sounds quite a lot like a whole bunch of Discharge tunes. Mystery solved.

DEATHORTION "War And Starvation" EP/ D-takt & Råpunk Records/ DTAKT005
Format: Singel 3/5
Tio låtar go jävla D-takt får man om man tjackar den här EP:n. Inspelat 2004-12-24… Man undrar ju varför det tog 3 år att få ut låtarna på platta. Kanske för att det inte var nån innan D-takt & Råpunk som fattade tycke för skiten. Sången är lite för brötig för min smak men det funkar. Det är klassik jävla käng med krigstexer och hade det bara varit bättre sång och mer klipp i baskaggen så hade det här varit pärla som ägg.

DEATHORTION – War and Starvation 7” (D-takt & Råpunk, Dtakt005)
10 låtar gruffig Usa-crust i Disruptskolan. Detta låter riktigt bra och brutalt som fan och jag kan med ens säga att detta är den bästa råpunk som någonsin spelats in i Umeå (säger väl egentlingen inte så mycket i och för sig). Har hört mp3or på detta material tidigare men jag tycker helt klart att detta är värt att ha på platta. Bra attackriff, och lagomt mycket meck, sen är sången riktigt bra också. Extra plus för solon och en och annan trevlig basgång. Denna platta är given om man gillar Disrupt-hardcore. Deathortion är förövrigt ett ”soloprojekt” av Klas från Dödsdömd, bra skit.

MARERIDT Här Börjar Helvetet 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)
D-takt & Råpunk continue to release demos onto 7"s, and as far as it's good stuff I have no complaints and this label has proven before that they don't have too bad musical taste. The demo with the same name was originally released on tape by Plague Bearer in 2004 and had nine tracks while this 7" holds six of those. Mareridt have members from both Denmark and Sweden and they play the style you would expect on this label - d-beat raw punk. The production is raw with sharp buzzing guitars giving the sound that dirty distortion. The gruff vocals and somewhat muddy sounding drums are also adding to the overall harshness of this 7". Rough Scandinavian crustcore that follows the recipe and while I'm not going to say this 7" is one of the true greats of the style it works fine to satisfy my needs for some rough d-beat.

Mareridt - Här börjar helvetet 7". Genre: Crustcore, Released: 2008, Label: D-Takt & Råpunk Records, Uploaded: 08.10.08
I can’t say I remember hearing Mareridt before, but this is a re-release of the 2004 demo bearing the same title. However I don’t know if this contain all, or just some, tracks. After just a listen I could state that this is some rough and raw, gruffy crustcore. The sound is awful, but not to the extent of becoming unbearable. It’s more of a low-fi production adding to the brutality. The recipe for success is old school and simplicity. Pure d-beat worship with the classic short guitar solos slicing the air every now and then. The pounding drums just reek of the Scandinavian flavor. It’s a raw-as-hell 7”, but there is a but. The rough, semi-growled vocals add brutality to the mix, but at times it sounds a bit like he’s just keeping the mic too close, and not really growling. Overlooking that, though, there’s still the sound issue. It’s not unbearable and ruining the music, but it could still be a whole lot better. The riffing is almost nowhere to be found, and the string part of the instrumentation ends up pretty much in a noisy, distorted blur. But it is cool, nonetheless. The entire thing actually reminds me a bit of the old Bombstrike demos; crappy sound, growls and Scandinavian crustcore. (7/10)

MARERIDT-HÄR BÖRJAR HELVETET(SINGEL D-TAKT & RÅPUNK RECORDS DTAKT008)
This was obvisiously a demo which was recorded in 2004 from the beginning but is very good that it came out on vinyl and i like it much. There´s not much space to breathe here because it goes really fast all the time. Depressive lyrics which it should be when we talk baout music like this because otherwise it have been boring. Imagine yourself sit and listen to this sort of d-beat music and they sang slly love lyrics....Mareridt don´t sing in norwegian and that´s a shame because that I thought with this name but it´s really good anyway except the odd ending on the first song on D-takt side(SEVEN) 10/10-08

Dissober - Outcasts of sobriety 7". Genre: Crustcore, Released: 2008, Label: D-Takt & Råpunk Records, Uploaded: 08.10.08
When I first read that D-Takt & Råpunk would release this 7” I was very surprised. Some of Dissober’s old material is really killer, like for instance their contribution to the Distortion to hell compilation, while I can’t say I love their Sober life… No way album. And that’s also the last I heard of them, disappearing sometime in the nineties. But here they are again, although with an old recording from 1997. And it’s cool to see this release take place, as Dissober is a band that young punks probably haven’t heard of, so here it is for a new generation to get drunk to. And drinking is a big part of their music (who could’ve guessed with a band name like that, eh). Although no lyrics are included, a couple of the track titles, and record title for that matter, reveals their not so sober ways. And right off the get go the dirty brutality sets in harder than a blowjob by a back alley crackwhore (well I wouldn’t know, but let’s just say this is some raw shit). The sound is dirty like a bunch of Disclose material, and it’s a complete hail to the old school sound. But while Discharge might be an obvious influence, I wouldn’t overlook Shitlickers. This reeks of Scandinavian 80ies crustcore brutality. The riffing’s quite simple, the solos are raw and the drumming is certainly powerful pounding. The vocals are sort of soft, almight screaming. It’s not as harsh as the remaining recipe of Dissober, and this is some brutal and raw shit – as been stated earlier. If you love Disclose and Shitlickers I can almost guarantee you’ll love this as well. (8/10)

DISSOBER-OUTCASTS OF SOBRIETY(SINGEL D-TAKT & RÅPUNK RECORDS DTAKT011)
It was a long time since we heard anything from this group. But I become a little bit disappointed when I further down on the record reads that this is recorded 1997 so it wasn´t anything new with the group but that don´t takes from the group that this is a really good crustrecord. One of the better ones that I have heard lately and th sound is really good though it´s a lot of "noise" Fast as hell it goes and the drummer always will work hard in those groups but I think he likes it and it´s maybe lucky that they haven´t going on for ten more years because then have surely many drummers been changed...(SEVEN) 10/10-08

WARVICTIMS Bellum se Ipsum Alet 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)
Warvictims certainly don't fuck around when it comes to producing hardcore, they release record after record and with this in mind it's quite amazing that they maintain such a high level of quality as they do. On here we get four new tracks, not straying one bit from the path they've tread on their previous outputs - devastating mid-tempo d-beat. This 7" start out with an almost doomy and metal sounding intro before they lash into it and start the rumble. The lyrics are as usual dealing with the atrocities of war. Not much has changed from their last release and probably won't with their next, but if I were looking for novelty hardcore Warvictims wouldn't be the band to turn to even if they had developed their sound more between releases.

NUCLEAR DEATH TERROR "Demo 2005" 7”/ D-takt & Råpunk Records/ DTAKT006 Format: Singel 3/5
Det här är alltså 4 av de 8 låtarna som återfinns på NDT:s kassett från 2005. Hade ju inte hört danskjävlarna innan och nu i efterhand kan jag väl säga att jag inte direkt hade missat nåt. Brötig crust som varken suger eller knäcker. Det som är bra är att det är jämt bröl med schysst ljud så man kan ha skiten på i bakgrunden när man sitter och super. Ibland meckar dom till det vilket vi verkligen hoppas att dom lägger av med.

NUCLEAR DEATH TERROR - Demo 2005 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)
In 2005 Nuclear Death Terror released a demo tape containing eight tracks that was very well received, and this 7" has four of these tracks. Those of you who have their LP know what you're in for; dark pounding crustcore with more than a few hints of metal. Not too slow and not too fast, but really hard and powerful. There is a difference between these demo tracks and the LP though, and this difference lies in the sound. This 7" is darker and more "messy" for the lack of a better word, while the LP is a bit crisper in its sound. But that's usually the difference between a demo and a full-length - the sound. I'm not saying these tracks have a poor sound though, just pointing out the difference. Even though I personally like the LP better I do know people who prefer the demo and its rumbling sound over the bigger platter, and I'm not arguing with the opinion that this is real good stuff. If you already own the demo you don't need this as it's the exact same recording, only half the amount of tracks. But if you dug the LP and/or are interested in getting you're hands on some crustcore brutality this is a good place to look.

NUCLEAR DEATH TERROR-DEMO 2005(SINGEL D-TAKT RÅPUNK RECORDS DTAKT 006)
A demo from 2005 is never wrong, anyway when it´s so good as it is when NDT does it. Sure we have Discharge, Disorder just to mention som wellknown bands but I think that NDT is a little bit more tougher than those bands. The things which does their music a little bit good is that the let their songs be a little bit slower sometimes and it does them good. You must really show who you are when you listen to this but in the same time as they are really raw they´re really melodic too....how stupid that maybe can sound.(SEVEN) 28/12-07

NUCLEAR DEATH TERROR – Demo 2005 7” (D-takt & Råpunk, Dtakt006)
Stabil crustcore från Köpenhamn som stolt för vidare crustcorearvet från Doom, ENT och andra 90-tals storheter. Har inte hört N.D.T. tidigare men det låter bra, riktigt rå och hederlig råpunk som är stöpt efter den klassiska mallen. Är väl föga originellt men det är ju inte heller meningen. Demo 2005 innehåller 4 låtar (8 låtar finns på originaldemon som släpptes nämnda årtal av Plague Bearer), gillar speciellt Life of Pain, vars refräng låter riktigt bra. N.D.T. har visst släppt en fullis också, kanske skulle ta och kolla upp den, för detta låter ju götta. Stabil crustcore som sagt, inget fansy utan bara bra mangel.

WARVICTIMS – When the innocent Cry Cd-r (Egen) Skitliv-redaktionen vevar inte bara ut fanzine i ett rasande tempo utan under namnet Warvictims vevar de råpunk och verkar nästan vara lika produktiva. When the innocent Cry bjuder på rå crustpunk och alla ingredienser som behövs för att göra bra råpunk finns väl i stort sett, men jag tycker att det här går på tok för långsamt. Visst, midtempo d-takt funkar jävligt bra ibland men när 5 låtar av 5 är lika slöa så tycker i alla fall jag att det blir lite tradigt. Slöheten gör även att man ganska tydligt hör att svårighetsgraden på låtarna är allt annat än hög, dessutom är det inte några direkt bra låtar heller. Som tur är för Warvictims är ljudet och produktionen ganska rå och sången är jävligt grovlig och rå så det funkar ju, men materialet är inget man direkt lägger på minnet. Om dom håller samma takt på låtskrivandet som på fanzinemakeriet så lär dom ju ha spelat in 100 låtar till inom kort så man kan ju hoppas att det är lite mer fart på några av dem i alla fall. Gillar du midtempo krigspunk med growl bör du kolla upp. Förresten så är det inte ett enda solo på den här plattan, SKANDAL, som alla vet bör det vara (minst) ett solo i varje låt. Plattan är inspelad i Bombshelter Studio förresten, innebär detta att det är Rodde som spelat in den, för hans studio heter väl så!? Det är som med röka, ”standard” funkar ju men det är inte så jävla ball i längden.

Warvictims - When the innocent cry CD-R
Genre: Crustcore, Origin: Sweden, Released: 2007, Website: Warvicictims Label: DRR001, Uploaded:24.04.07, Grade:7/10
This demo accompanies the third issue of the Swedish fanzine Skitliv!, but since that zine sucks so much arse it obviously not a serious work I won’t waste my time reviewing it. The Warvictims demo When the innocent cry, however, is a completely different story. It’s still the same guys as the Skitliv! crew, but on another level altogether. With just a quick glance at the cover you know this is d-beat, no questions asked. And while Discharge is an obvious choice for inspiration, I get a strong Svart Parad vibe for the music as well as Warcollapse and Mörder for the grunts. Sure, the back to the basics, old school d-beat, Discharge worshipping has been done so many times it’s almost unbearable, I dare say this is some of the better stuff I’ve heard in the vein lately. The sound quality is way better than most demos and albums of the genre, and I really appreciate the growling main vocals, which enhances the heaviness of the tunes. It’s also refreshing with some Swedish lyrics. Sure, it’s the same war topic as everything else when it comes to dis-crust, but it’s fairly unusual to do it in Swedish. Anyway, the zine sucks but the music kills.

Warvictims - When the innocent cry CD-R
War, war, war, war... Warvictims. D-beat-, war- and dis-bands are funny phenomenas, some bands make it all the way and some don't. And I'm afraid I can't say that Warvictims belong amongst the bands mentioned first. Highly repetitive and dull concerning both guitar riffs and lyrics, actually they use the same concept for more than two songs; the only variation is a different key and change of lyrics. It's good to know that there are new bands like this sprouting, and I know there are people out there who like this kind of stuff. But personally I would have wanted more variation and that the bands would broaden their horizons a little bit more.

MARDRÖM "När Mardrömmen Blir Till Verklighet" EP/ D-takt & Råpunk Records/ DTAKT003Format: Singel 3/5
Helt OK råpunk med medlemmar från bl.a. Dödsdömd, Totalt Jävla Mörker och Uncle Charles. Det är ju inget nytt under solen direkt men det är ju inte heller vad man väntar sig av ett släpp på D-takt & Råpunk Records. Ljudet är lite loppigt, kunde ha varit lite mer tryck i skiten men det ska tydligen vara så säger interna källor till Backlash. Den ena snubben bakom micken låter lite väl tillgjord vilket stör lite men samtidigt är det lite kul, som i ”Inget Hopp, Ingen Framtid” där hans mörkröst leder till att man drar på smilbanden. Plattan innehåller 8 spår och är tryckt i 300 ex. så se till att beställa nu.

MARDRÖM - När Mardrömmen Blir Till Verklighet 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)
This is the bands demo that has been put on vinyl after much delay. It was originally planned for Wasted Sounds but has now been made available through this label. There are times when a demo should remain a demo and times when it becoming a vinyl release is well justified. This here 7" is a little bit of both actually. I who don't have the demo are glad I get the tracks but at the same time I think this band can deliver better stuff than what they're doing on here, so perhaps they just as well could have waited until the next recording to do the vinyl. Still, this Warcollapse meets Svart Parad meets Human Waste käng is quite alright and as I said, since I don't have the demo I'm glad this 7" found it's way over here despite not really being anything out of the ordinary. I don't want to be the one to say if a band should exist or not but sometimes I do question all the bands Sylen are involved in as they honestly don't sound too different from each other. It might be his vocals that does it, or it might just be me, but this does sound like something Dödsdömd could have released as a demo a few years back. Four tracks on each side, all lyrics dealing with war and written in the same way Discharge once introduced - a couple of lines for the verse and a couple for the chorus. Maybe it's here we find the explanation to all the bands - some lyrics and themes might suit one band but not the other? The cover is not of the best quality and is simply a folded Xeroxed paper with a similar insert, but I think it had come down to "get it out for little money or don't get it out at all", so I'll look the other way on this one. There are only three hundred made so if you think this is something you'll like you better look up from where you can get it.

Ojojojoj här var det snabba puckar eller vad man skall kalla det. Jäkligt rå punk med inslag av både tidiga Discharge, Skitsystem och tidiga Napalm Death. Bara krigtsexter är vad vi får oss till livs och man kanske inte jublar av glädje när man hör detta eftersom man kanske inte vill höra texter som behandlar just dessa saker. Men ändå så är det musik som får mig att stampa lite med högerfoten och hade jag varit yngre hade jag kastat mig vilt runt i rummet men nu nöjer jag mig som sagt med ett stilla diggande men jag ler lite grand i smyg för den här typen av råpunk är riktigt bra.(SJU)

MARDROM"Nar madrommen blir till verklighet" ep(d-takt records 2006)
At the first introduction it is necessary to say that on this band serve elements of the best Svedish band. To mention some name: Dodsdomd, Human waste and Totalt Javla Morker. With this backgrounds the result can be only good. In this 7 inches there aren't rocking influences typical of Human Waste and melodic that can take to the memory the Total Java Morker. There are only 8 tracks of pure and primordial raw punk/d-beat, without contamination , without melody, without “correct” or studied sound. It is possible to find only a lot of sweat, attitude, coldness and anger. The beat rhythm are sustained by 2 voices, one deep and another shriek and wrenching. All this is enrich by simple but incisive bass-guitar's riffs, stop'n'go and some remote and melancholic guitar's melody.A good job on his simplicity , uncouthness,and anger advised to lover of pure and hard d-beat and at who love to surf on this could ryhtms.

WARVICTIMS "D-Beat Destruction" EP/ D-takt & Råpunk Records/ DTAKT004Format: Singel. Betyg: 4.
Warvictims går från klarhet till klarhet. Så här skall det fan låta! D-takt hela jävla tiden, förutom i avslutande ”Fucked For Life” som trots sin klockrena lyrik hindrar den här sjuan från att få full pott. De väl använda kängriffen står som spön i backen och jag sitter med en kall starköl i näven & bara njuter. Fem låtar bjuds det på och det vrålas på svenska i tre av dom. Krigsoffrena dammar även av en av Cimex bästa; ”When The Innocent Die” och de gör det bra. Synd bara att mixerkillen inte drog upp reglaget under solot. Det finns inte ett skit att tveka på här, bara att beställa skiten direkt från bandet.

WARVICTIMS D-Beat Destruction 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)
A cool drawing by Steve (Visions of War), the band logo in Discharge lettering, the title, and a stripe across the top right corner saying "Raw punk assault!" is what first meets the eye - kinda gives you an idea, right? I've heard the band before so I knew to expect some Warcollapse styled stuff, but these four tracks, plus a cover of "When the innocent die" by Anti-Cimex, is a bit faster than other material I've heard and in my opinion also better. It still is exactly what you expect it to be though and there are no surprises hidden on here musically, but I still enjoy the tunes. Especially the last track "Fucked for life" where they go for a GG Allin meets Driller Killer kind of catchiness. The lyrics are steeped in the d-beat mould with three of them dealing with war and "Fucked for life" about getting wasted on booze and pills. I'm pretty sure this band has set out to do everything by the book and so we probably shouldn't expect any thought provoking lyrics any time soon. Even though it's become a cliché in punk lyrics war is horrendous, and despite the fact that probably ninety percent of those who write these kinds of lyrics don't really care too much, there are more pointless topics to deal with. However I can't get past the fact that a couple of the guys in this band also are responsible for the Swedish zine Skitliv which is one of the more moronic zines I've ever read, slandering women, gays, and whoever left and right. I get enough of that crap from the ignorant assholes outside of punk and I don't need it here. I have very mixed feelings about this 7" and I didn't know how to approach it really. At the end I decided to give it an honest review and let you, the reader, decide whether you want to support this band or not.

WARVICTIMS – D-beat Destruction 7” (D-takt & Råpunk, Dtakt004)
Warvictims fortsätter att mangla ut släpp och kvalitetsmässigt så tar det väl sig också för varje släpp. Det är lite snabbare och lite bättre driv än tidigare också och det tackar vi för. Annars är det väl samma gruffiga crustcore som tidigare. Helt okej fast dom håller helt klart till i mellanskicktet där det finns allt för många som kör på rätt bra men som har en bit kvar.I avslutande Fucked For Life får råpunken stå tillbaka för mer hardcoreaktiga tongångar som musikaliskt påminner om Linköpinghardcore som i Outlast och Nines, drivigare låtar (lyssna på låten så fattar ni vad jag menar). Ytterligare ett släpp som är helt okej, däremot fattar jag inte varför man ska ha med Cimex-covern, When The Innocent Die när man inte sätter solot, känns jävligt meningslöst, solot är ju bäst!

GIFTGASATTACK/DISLICKERS split 7" (D-takt & Råpunk/Warsong)Four tracks of ear-piercing cracked distortion - that's pretty much all that is needed to say about Giftgasattack. This is insanely raw and while I normally enjoy the style a lot this is a bit too intense. Imagine Disclose and Atrocious Madness playing live at the same time, both using completely blown out, and not very qualitative, speakers and you should have a fairly good idea of the noise on here. I'm not saying it sucks, I'm just saying it's pure chaos and not very nice on the ears. Where Giftgasattack might have their eyes and ears directed at Japanese acts, Dislickers are more interested in the Swedish raw hardcore bands from the mid to late 80's which in turn took their inspiration from the UK. Roughly played, roughly recorded, hardcore that reminds me of bands such as Anti-Cimex, Bombanfall to some extent, and similar stuff. If these tracks would have turned out to be from the mid 90's instead of 2006 I wouldn't have been surprised as this bunch would have fit well with the million Dis-whatever bands that were operating at the time. If they would have stood out from the crowd ten-something years ago I don't know, but today I needed some basic raw d-beat and I'm enjoying this. If you're looking for originality you better not turn to Dislickers, but if primal d-beat with a raw recording complete with the gruff vocals and occasional short sharp solos is what you're after you'll get your fix here.

GIFTGASATTACK / DISLICKERS Split 7” (D-takt & Råpunk, DTAKT007)
Ja man kan ju inte anklaga Giftgasattack för att vara överproducerade i alla fall (vi snackar väl 4 kanals kassettporta antar jag) då det är vm i dist och oljud, det enda som hörs någorlunda är väl den överdistade gitarren och till viss del basen. Sången och trummorna hörs, visst, men det är ju allt annat än klart och tydligt. Jag är inte tokeggad på sån där överdistat japansk nitmongopank men bakom allt oljud som finns här kan man allt höra några riktigt vassa riff och ett och annat riktigt gött solo. Ljudet är jävligt jobbigt så detta är inget jag kommer att spela speciellt ofta. Dislickers, ja det hörs väl ganska tydligt på namnet hur det låter. Klassisk svensk dis-hardcore av troget 80-tals snitt. Helt okej fast inget speciellt alls, men det är ju gött att dom kör med solon i alla fall. Sången är inte skitbra (lite hundig) men den duger fint i krigstider. 6 låtar nitmongopank bjuder de på, det låter som det ska göra tycker jag.

Giftgasattack bidrar med 4 låtar inspelade på en 4-kanals kassettporta och det låter skit. Det går inte att höra ett jävla någe. Det låter som Disclose risigaste demos fast 100 gånger värre. Enough said. Vänder vi på steken så hittar vi 6 låtar med skåningarna i Dislickers och det låter precis som man tror att det skall göra när bandet heter Dis… och har nitjackor. Däremot så är det nåt som saknas. Vet inte riktigt vad men det är liksom lite för segt på nåt sätt. Jag gillar ju slö käng men det här är inte slött det är segt. Nåväl, Giftgassidan lyssnar jag nog aldrig mer på men Dislickers kan väl åka på nån mer gång på fyllan.

WARVICTIMS/TORTYR - SplitWarvictims och Tortyr bestämde sig för att göra en splitsjua tillsammans. Här är resultatet. Warvictims – Sida A. På den senaste tiden har jag hört mer och mer om råpunkarna i Warvictims. De har hunnit med att släppa sin sjutummare ”D-beat Destruction” samt en split, vilken denna recension är menad att handla om. Med råpunk menar jag verkligen råpunk. De är betydligt mycket hårdare än sina kollegor på andra sidan skivan. Ska man jämföra båda konstellationerna kanske man till och med kan kalla Tortyr lite trallvänliga. ”Will this horror ever end?” är låten du bör kolla upp på den här plattan. Är du däremot för det lite mer melodiska får du vända på steken och läsa nästa recension.
Tortyr – Sida B. Med en fet smäll rätt i ansiktet får jag Tortyrs mangelbidrag levererat. Detta är antagligen det bästa på hela skivan. När materialet är så pass varierat och låtantalet så pass litet är det svårt att inte fastna för till exempel Skitsystem-präglade ”Inga mirakel” eller den fullkomligt lysande midtempokängan ”Fy faan vad jag hatar dig”. Den stackars individ som har fått den sistnämnda tillägnad sig kan inte ha det helt lätt.

Warvictims/Tortyr 7" Split (D-takt & Råpunk Records/Tortyr Records 2007)
Another made in Sweden product ordered to me from Crustpunk's Administrator. It is a 7 inches split, one side Warvictims the other side Tortyr. Let's go with Warvictims. I'm fond to this five Swedish, beeing this the third work I review aftter "Krigsoffer" e "D-Beat Destruction". I can start saying that who listen this 3 tracks without know, appreciate or understand this kind of music will ask why the band play the same song 3 times. I repeat this oh the last 2 reviews: Warvictims are a d-beat band absoulutly in Discharge style (only a fiew faster), the songs are similar and on this king of music this is not a critic. The only news is taht this 3 songs ("Blodspengar", "Nightmare or reality", "Will this horror ever end?") are faster then the five track of "D-Beat Destruction".Simply and minimal songs, enriched from guitars break and short voice/bass duets. The voice is weight and sometime hight and hysteric. To conclude the style is the same , nothing of new but I go on to appreciate. Going to the side B: Tortyr. A name that i don't know before and the curiosity grow on me day by day. I expect somethig like d-beat'n'roll similar to Human Waste or Disfear, instead, with my surprise I listen something different. Immediatlly my ear get on with the apocaliptic melodies of the four svedish. I can't categorize ina a kind of music but maybe the right term is neocrust. Accelerated D-beat time , cold , shrap and melodic guitars that play riffs that remain on the mind. Very good the excruciating and scream voice, that bring the apocaliptic scenary of the songs. The songs are long (compared with warvictims tracks) not simply and never boring. There are some similitude with Skitsystem, and I risk to say that there are some Balck Metal elements on this tracks (obviously melodic black metal). All is covered by a opaque veil, expecially on the third track "Fy faan vad jag hatar dig". A very good band that i really glad to discover and review. The best think of this split is the difference between the two bands. One side with the massacre of one of the best old school d-beat made in Swedish, on the other side the gelid apocalipse of an excellent "neocrust"band.

WARVICTIMS/TORTYR split 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)
Warvictims are here with another handful of raw d-beat tunes. These tracks are recorded before the ones on the "D-beat destruction" 7" and are also more like the slower stuff they had on their CD-R releases. I really don't have anything against this mid-tempo crusty d-beat but as I've heard later stuff that are better I can't say I'm that excited about the three tracks on here, even if they're not too bad. I still have very mixed feelings towards this band and the attitude of some of the members though.
Tortyr is a new band which, I think, are releasing their first songs through this split. I know there were a demo but I don't think that got a very big circulation. Anyway, on to the music on this release. At first I felt like I would write this band off as another Human Waste reminiscent band - a good one, but none the less very similar. Now I don't write reviews after one listen and so I soon realized that this wasn't true. It is true that Human Waste and similar bands comes to mind, but this is not in any way a clone. The music is in all honesty not too spectacular and it has been done before by many Swedish käng bands, but on the other hand they're hardly alone in borrowing a few riffs and notes from others either so I won't hold it against them. It's all well executed anyway and that beats originality in my book. Some times, like on here, anyway. But it's when it comes to the vocal part that I get real excited. They're truly great and are really what gives this band its edge. When Claes makes his vocal cords vibrate the whole room shakes and there is no doubt he has a lot he wants to get off his chest. Gasoline fuelled anger - intense as hell! What first seemed like a second rate Skitsystem copy turned out to be one of the better Swedish bands currently making their noise heard.

DEATHORTION - War and Starvation 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)This was recorded December 24 2004 and has been released as the demo "The crustmas sessions" earlier if I'm not mistaken. I don't think the band has done anything since and I'm not even sure they exist anymore, but I wouldn't mind if they did. Through paying homage to Discharge with elements of both Doom and Anti-Cimex these nine tracks results in something that could describe Deathortion, a Swedish band, as sounding like the US bands that in turn are influenced by Swedish bands. Confusing? To simplify - Deathortion remind me of both Discharge and State of Fear (or similar). Either way it's pretty good, not especially complicated, d-beat with a raw sound. Even the worst bands doing this style come off as quite good, so Deathortion have no problem to appeal to the side of me that want it simple and rough - and this lot isn't even among those "worst" ones. You've probably heard it all before delivered by multiple bands, but that doesn't make it bad. It can be uninteresting to some, but the songs don't loose their intensity just because of that. The only thing that bothered the hell out of me was that I couldn't figure out what band it was that's doing "Scapegoat" originally, my mind was totally blank. But then, with a little help, I realized that it sounds a whole lot like "B.S.B.S.F.B.S" by Warcry, a track which in turn sounds quite a lot like a whole bunch of Discharge tunes. Mystery solved.

DEATHORTION "War And Starvation" EP/ D-takt & Råpunk Records/ DTAKT005
Format: Singel 3/5
Tio låtar go jävla D-takt får man om man tjackar den här EP:n. Inspelat 2004-12-24… Man undrar ju varför det tog 3 år att få ut låtarna på platta. Kanske för att det inte var nån innan D-takt & Råpunk som fattade tycke för skiten. Sången är lite för brötig för min smak men det funkar. Det är klassik jävla käng med krigstexer och hade det bara varit bättre sång och mer klipp i baskaggen så hade det här varit pärla som ägg.

DEATHORTION – War and Starvation 7” (D-takt & Råpunk, Dtakt005)
10 låtar gruffig Usa-crust i Disruptskolan. Detta låter riktigt bra och brutalt som fan och jag kan med ens säga att detta är den bästa råpunk som någonsin spelats in i Umeå (säger väl egentlingen inte så mycket i och för sig). Har hört mp3or på detta material tidigare men jag tycker helt klart att detta är värt att ha på platta. Bra attackriff, och lagomt mycket meck, sen är sången riktigt bra också. Extra plus för solon och en och annan trevlig basgång. Denna platta är given om man gillar Disrupt-hardcore. Deathortion är förövrigt ett ”soloprojekt” av Klas från Dödsdömd, bra skit.

MARERIDT Här Börjar Helvetet 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)D-takt & Råpunk continue to release demos onto 7"s, and as far as it's good stuff I have no complaints and this label has proven before that they don't have too bad musical taste. The demo with the same name was originally released on tape by Plague Bearer in 2004 and had nine tracks while this 7" holds six of those. Mareridt have members from both Denmark and Sweden and they play the style you would expect on this label - d-beat raw punk. The production is raw with sharp buzzing guitars giving the sound that dirty distortion. The gruff vocals and somewhat muddy sounding drums are also adding to the overall harshness of this 7". Rough Scandinavian crustcore that follows the recipe and while I'm not going to say this 7" is one of the true greats of the style it works fine to satisfy my needs for some rough d-beat.

After just a listen I could state that this is some rough and raw, gruffy crustcore. The sound is awful, but not to the extent of becoming unbearable. It’s more of a low-fi production adding to the brutality. The recipe for success is old school and simplicity. Pure d-beat worship with the classic short guitar solos slicing the air every now and then. The pounding drums just reek of the Scandinavian flavor. It’s a raw-as-hell 7”, but there is a but. The rough, semi-growled vocals add brutality to the mix, but at times it sounds a bit like he’s just keeping the mic too close, and not really growling. Overlooking that, though, there’s still the sound issue. It’s not unbearable and ruining the music, but it could still be a whole lot better. The riffing is almost nowhere to be found, and the string part of the instrumentation ends up pretty much in a noisy, distorted blur. But it is cool, nonetheless. The entire thing actually reminds me a bit of the old Bombstrike demos; crappy sound, growls and Scandinavian crustcore. (7/10)

MARERIDT-HÄR BÖRJAR HELVETET(SINGEL D-TAKT & RÅPUNK RECORDS DTAKT008)
This was obvisiously a demo which was recorded in 2004 from the beginning but is very good that it came out on vinyl and i like it much. There´s not much space to breathe here because it goes really fast all the time. Depressive lyrics which it should be when we talk baout music like this because otherwise it have been boring. Imagine yourself sit and listen to this sort of d-beat music and they sang slly love lyrics....Mareridt don´t sing in norwegian and that´s a shame because that I thought with this name but it´s really good anyway except the odd ending on the first song on D-takt side(SEVEN) 10/10-08

Dissober - Outcasts of sobriety 7". Genre: Crustcore, Released: 2008, Label: D-Takt & Råpunk Records, Uploaded: 08.10.08When I first read that D-Takt & Råpunk would release this 7” I was very surprised. Some of Dissober’s old material is really killer, like for instance their contribution to the Distortion to hell compilation, while I can’t say I love their Sober life… No way album. And that’s also the last I heard of them, disappearing sometime in the nineties. But here they are again, although with an old recording from 1997. And it’s cool to see this release take place, as Dissober is a band that young punks probably haven’t heard of, so here it is for a new generation to get drunk to. And drinking is a big part of their music (who could’ve guessed with a band name like that, eh). Although no lyrics are included, a couple of the track titles, and record title for that matter, reveals their not so sober ways. And right off the get go the dirty brutality sets in harder than a blowjob by a back alley crackwhore (well I wouldn’t know, but let’s just say this is some raw shit). The sound is dirty like a bunch of Disclose material, and it’s a complete hail to the old school sound. But while Discharge might be an obvious influence, I wouldn’t overlook Shitlickers. This reeks of Scandinavian 80ies crustcore brutality. The riffing’s quite simple, the solos are raw and the drumming is certainly powerful pounding. The vocals are sort of soft, almight screaming. It’s not as harsh as the remaining recipe of Dissober, and this is some brutal and raw shit – as been stated earlier. If you love Disclose and Shitlickers I can almost guarantee you’ll love this as well. (8/10)

DISSOBER-OUTCASTS OF SOBRIETY(SINGEL D-TAKT & RÅPUNK RECORDS DTAKT011)
It was a long time since we heard anything from this group. But I become a little bit disappointed when I further down on the record reads that this is recorded 1997 so it wasn´t anything new with the group but that don´t takes from the group that this is a really good crustrecord. One of the better ones that I have heard lately and th sound is really good though it´s a lot of "noise" Fast as hell it goes and the drummer always will work hard in those groups but I think he likes it and it´s maybe lucky that they haven´t going on for ten more years because then have surely many drummers been changed...(SEVEN) 10/10-08

SKITSLAKT-VICTIM(SINGEL D-TAKT & RÅPUNK RECORDS DTAKT014)9 låtar som de flesta är jävligt korta och helt omöjliga att höra vad de sjunger om. Man kanske borde fått med en liten textlapp så hade det varit riktigt bra....Men jag kanske inte alltid vill veta vad de sjunger om med tanke på låttitlar som Spräckt skita och Skitfitta... de varvar mellan engelska och svenska titlar och Nitad är den längsta låten och den är egentligen bäst också men det kanske beror på det lite lugnare tempot även om den är riktigt rå. Ni som är inne på grind/HC bör kolla in.(SEX) 10/10-08

WARVICTIMS Bellum se Ipsum Alet 7" (D-takt & Råpunk)Warvictims certainly don't fuck around when it comes to producing hardcore, they release record after record and with this in mind it's quite amazing that they maintain such a high level of quality as they do. On here we get four new tracks, not straying one bit from the path they've tread on their previous outputs - devastating mid-tempo d-beat. This 7" start out with an almost doomy and metal sounding intro before they lash into it and start the rumble. The lyrics are as usual dealing with the atrocities of war. Not much has changed from their last release and probably won't with their next, but if I were looking for novelty hardcore Warvictims wouldn't be the band to turn to even if they had developed their sound more between releases.
