Amalgamation



This one is dated quite a bit earlier than most of the stuff on here, but I thought the scarcity of some of these tracks deserved a post. I think they're probably best known for the split with Jerome's dream. Active 1996 - 1998 & from the DC/VA area, they play a really spastic crazy sound.

The split with JD is probably the best, but the other stuff is worth hearing. Now I'm missing their demo tracks (do these even exist anymore?) and also one comp track. Here's the rest of what they've released though.

Skeleton Coast


From Portland and active around 2003 based on the release of this album. In terms of when this was released it actually has a fairly unique sound. Female vocals, and a pretty melodic almost 90's style sound. Pretty good stuff overall.

Beneath Low Flying Planes



I feel like the internet deserves a comprehensive Beneath Low Flying Planes post. If you don't already know them, they are from Florida and were active roughly 2000-2006. They're pretty good and really kind of showed the awesomeness that was coming out of Florida during this time. I believe this is all they've released.

Demo

5 Track EP

Arse Moreira Split

Two Songs (EP?)
(songs: Batcave & Isolated on the Analog Tracks)

Unlabeled CD-R (Other Demo?)
(songs: Canova & You Look How I Feel, The Venge of Caenis)

Edit: Found this

Kanaris



This one was a request. I had never heard of them, but looking at their last.fm they seemed like a good fit for here. A few months of soulseek wishlist provided these tracks, so check them out. Here's their description from Last.fm

A post-hardcore/screamo band based out of Carmel, NY. Their main influences were The Red ScareOff Minor, and Iron Maiden. They formed in June 2001, and broke up sometime in 2004. Members of the band have been inor started various bands, such as: Irma VepFull FuzzApocolyptic YouthFucked By The StateWolverine Carcassbreed/extinction. They recorded 3 self-released EP’s none of which got much exposure. They still rule however.

This has quite a few tracks, so I'm going to assume that it covers most if not all of the 3 EP's. Sorry for it being so unorganized, it's just how I found it. Track: "02shot not.wma" appears to be broken, at least when I attempted to convert it to mp3, so I included .wma files and my converted mp3 files for you to play around with. Anyway yup, check it out.

Noarmsnolegs




Very metal/metal-core influenced stuff from Wyoming OH. Doesn't seem to be very much relevant information on it out there.

An Empty Memory

Absolutely zero information on this, and google does not seem to bring up anything relevant. Active early 2000's just based on the date for the mp3s. Kinda has that metalcore influenced sound from the era. yuuup.

My First Step Toward Failure




Kinda Metalcore influenced sound. Active around 2000 if I am correct. Played with some big name bands like LLBNF, and The Assistant. Don't know exactly where from, but assumed east coast. Nothing too spectacular, but maybe you'd like to hear it. They also released a split with Wrench In The Works, which I do not have.
