I.f.m.H. [011]: Attack Of The Mad Axeman/The Makai Split 7"

I.f.m.H. [010]: Limb From Limb - dismemberment 7"
LIMB FROM LIMB hailing from Vancouver Canada deliver a new braincrushing record. After a great Debut LP on No Option Rec. this record is their next declaration of war on this fucking planet. Following the footsteps of wellknown Crust/Metal-Bands like Bolt Thrower, Dismember, Sacrilege and Deviated Instinct LIMB FROM LIMB combine these older styles with newer influences to create a furious sound of crustobsessed Death-Metal. The record contains of two brandnew songs which are even more metallic than the songs on their LP. The 7" comes with a great Cover Artwork done by Ryan Jones. Fans of Stormcrow, Skaven, Nuclear Death Terror, Guided Cradle and Sanctum should take note.

I.f.m.H. [009}: Order Of The Vuklture//Dažd Split 7"
Prepare your ears for another massive assault! The ORDER OF THE VULTURE/DAžD Split 7" is ready to ship. Order of the Vulture are coming from Portland, Oregon. Their side of the record features a new track of blackened metal-influenced Crust/Hardcorepunk. After a first 7" and a full length on different labels this is their third release. Members of this amazing live band also play in the Black Metal band L'Acephale. They share the split with Dažd from Serbia. Dažd present a negative mantra of bloodthirsty and occult Crust/Punk in the vein of Amebix. The record comes with a handnumbered obi strip and lyric-translations in serbian and english.

I.f.m.H. [008] Yacöpsae/Deep Split 5"
This is the official re-press of the ultrarare (just 40 copies exist worldwide!) split 5" from 2000 which was released on Dhyana Records and Peter King Records. Yacöpsae deliver a sharp smasher called "Plakativ korrekt" in the vein of their "Fuck punk rock"-era. Deep from Augsburg are doing a cool Yacöpsae-cover ("Blind"). The band is an old pop/noise-project of two members of the german punkband Inferno.

I.f.m.H. [007] Poostew - plutocracy LP
For the highly-awaited follow-up to 2005's "Struggle" Poostew headed to 3rd A Studio in Hamburg on the producing helm where Germany's steamroller finally received the punishing sound it deserves. They've increased the speed again and deliver 14 high explosive deathgrind tracks. What started as rough straight grindcore became to a sophisticated mixture of brutal grindcore, infernal death metal and well-placed harmonies as well as they never forget about their hardcore origin. Their debut "Struggle" convulsed the extreme music scene with the stunning mixture of no-compromise grindcore, well-placed melodies and the hardcore approach but "Plutocracy" will just destroy everything on its way. This Vinyl edition comes in 150gr and with a bonus track (cover of Lack Of Interest "my life") which is not on the CD version!!

I.f.m.H. [006] Piazza Dropout/Teenage Angst Split 7"
A new record is out on I.f.m.H.: Piazza Dropout/Teenage Angst Split 7"!! After Piazza Dropouts first 7inch here is their second release. The records consists of 11 brandnew Piazza Dropout tunes. Expect an ultra-fast 80..s inspired HC-Punk Attack! Great! For Teenage Angst from Hannover this is the debut-record! Teenage Angst combine snotty 80..s HC with some newer influences like some Youth Crew elements. The records come with a full-color-cover with nice artwork.
I.f.m.H. [005] Piazza Dropout 7"
Here is the debut 7" of Piazza Dropout from Hamburg and Lübeck. They play very fast Hardcore/Thrashcore. It sounds like a schoolbus crushing into a hardcorepunk recordshop with 200 m/ph! 11 songs in 7 minutes! great

I.f.m.H. [004] Yacöpsae/Your Kingdom Is Doomed 7"
The german Kings of musical extrem sports are back! After severeal great releases in the past here is the newest Yacoepsae vinyl output. Expect five new ultrafast fastcore attacks! Five songs in five minutes! A masterpiece of precision and intensity. Yacoepse share this split with Your Kingdom Is Doomed from Istanbul. They are one of the very rare hardcorebands in turkey! They play angry chaotic hardcore in the vein of Spazz and other bands of this genre. This will be their last record ever because they splitted up last year.

I.f.m.H. [003] Drown In Blood - blood red path LP
Here it is! The debut-album of DROWN IN BLOOD! The Metal-Punks from Hamburg did their first vinyl-release. Until now they only did a sold-out demotape and some compilation tracks. And they played a lot of concerts during the last years. The band exists since 2003 and has a political background. At the beginning they played death metal with crust influences. But now they developed more into metal with melodic parts in the vein of Bolt Thrower. But there are still unmistakable elements of crust, punk, HC and grind in the bandsound. The bandmembers play in some other bands like Instinct Of Survival. The LP consists of 10 songs which transfer power and energy and invite to mosh!

I.f.m.H. [002] Allee der Kosmonauten - st LP
With one year delay it's here. And it is great. ADK from Berlin play atmospheric dark hardcore with beautiful melodies and crushing male/female vocals. The songs were recorded at Kuschelrock Studios by Dirk Kusche and he did a good job. The sound is great and clean without loosing energy and brutality. The record comes with a poster and a screenprinted inner sleeve. You will find further details on our homepage in the next days.

I.f.m.H. [001] Völkermord - st LP

After years of silence Voelkermord is back with a LP. Until these days Völkermord only recorded and released one 7inch in teamwork with the EA80 label Musikzimmer, although they are playing together for more than five years. With this new record they continue their way of destruction. They call their style an anarcho-crust-mosh-apocalypse. Fans of Amebix, Hersey, E.N.T., Axegrinder etc. should be right. Within this 12inch there comes a text-sheet with a great artwork-poster on the backside
