I'm too old for this shit - mod update

416 Upvotes

I created this community 10 years ago because I was listening to a lot of powerviolence and there was no reddit it for it, so why not make one right?

I'm turning 31 in a few weeks. I don't listen to a lot of extreme music anymore, but it's fucking great to come through here and see people celebrating this genre.

Today was not one of those days, instead, I came through and saw a fascist dipshit trying to get you all to listen to their shitty hateful music. These people sow pestilence in the communities of extreme music.

Ya'll deserve better.

So look, the sidebar got the first update in years

If you come in here with racist or fascist or ableist or sexist attitudes, you've clearly missed the point of this music, and I'm not gonna waste time my time on negotiating, I'll be swift in banning your ass.

and straight up, if someone is giving you a hard time in the comments, shoot the mods (aka me) a message and we can nip it in the bud.

I really like that PV speaks truth to power, calls the world out for its shit, and I appreciate that the community here is keeping that alive.

tl;dr: you are all making this a good community, if someone is fucking that up, shoot me a message, and the ban hammer will be wielded liberally.

2 Upvotes

i apologize if this isn't a PV band and maybe an emoviolence band or something but a while back i saw a list of bands in this subreddit and i believe one was caskets for cowboys or something like that and i was intrigued by the name and wanted to check them out but i forgot to write it down and forgot and it's been driving me insane since. does this name sound familiar to anyone? i know of job for a cowboy but it wasn't them. please help or i'm starting a band with that name just to help myself sleep easier.

75+ hour PV playlist; any of YOUR favorites missing?

My way of making playlists tends to be dumping discographies of bands I like into genre themed compendiums with bullshit names. This is my powerviolence playlist. Are any of your favorite bands missing? Curious to know!

Bands like Lords of Light

Does anyone have recommendations for bands like Lords of Light? They were super weird and they ripped. I saw them on tour with Iron Lung. They called themselves unorthodox grind, but I think PV is fitting.

Drummer seeking band

10 Upvotes

Multi instrumentalist with recording studio located in Milford, DE 19963 seeking to start a for the fun of it kind of band. Not looking to tour or gig every fucking weekend. But definitely trying to jam and record weekly.

My most recent outing was with a band called insecticide out of Philly. Really not to my taste but it was fun while it lasted. Check my posts for the link

I love blast beats, but I also love to see the kids crowdkill. Let's do both.

I'm sober from narcotics, I will literally fight you if you come around with anything harder than weed / mushrooms.

LEPROPHILIAC meets SPASTIC AMOEBAS split CD - Now Available!!!

3 Upvotes

Got an email from Doug of Spastic Amoebas and Backwoods Butcher. It doesn't fail to amuse...

"Dearest Regressive Mutant Thrash Enthusiasts,

An interdimensional shockwave of festering filth and telekinetic molestation! Spanish corpse collectors LEPROPHILIAC unearth their casket crawling chaos with four massive death grinding epics slathered in the sultry sound of disease and dread. Innard-chewers and bone lickers will rot united in fatal ecstasy! SPASTIC AMOEBAS return from beyond the realms of good taste with a vicious barrage of frantic schizophrenia sure to delight both the criminally insane and deaf people with equal aplomb. Roaring sexual perversion and pinpoint killing precision in one pulsating package of frenetic thrash! Includes exhilarating original cover artwork by Nor Prego and a twelve page insert booklet full of lyrics, art, photos of dead bodies and other esoteric wisdom not intended for Christians, posers or other limp dick wimps. The full-tilt cosmic power of underground rock n’ roll duality spews triumphantly forth with zero discretion for your feeble inhibitions.

https://backwoodsbutcherrecords.bandcamp.com/
https://spasticamoebas.bandcamp.com/

$12 postpaid in the USA. Folks overseas should get in touch directly for a quote including the ridiculous international shipping.

Thanks!
Doug / Backwoods Butcher Records"
