So in honour of this triumph in despair and bleakness I have posted up some music that is equal parts aggro and bleak.
People bang on about tuff guy hardcore these days, the amount of kids who think its cool to pretend to be tough when a strong wind would blow them over is ridiculous at times. Fuck em all. Haymaker will always triumph.

Haymaker where another band in the long line of quality Canadian hardcore. They where tough, so tough in fact that they only played a few shows a year as venues where constantly smashed, fights happenned all the time and fireworks and actual fire happenned on more than one occasion. So Tough that they couldn't play outside of Canada because of certain members criminal convictions ( hence the Fuck America 7" ) and so tough that no promoter would touch them and so tough that they featured members of Cursed.
Well here is the first 12" they released in 2002. They released a load of other 7" and splits but this is where its at....
Haymaker - S/T 12"
Secondly is a recent discovery by myself. Forgotten Tombs are a depressive BM project from Italy. Sorta closer to very old Katatonia ( not the shit band fronted by that Welsh bint) with more melancholy and self hatred coursing through there veins. The cover art wins everytime...Naked girl + blood + bath tub + cable ties.

Nothing really else to add. Very dark and moody, slightly better production than most DBM but that only helps the dark melody of it all.
Forgotten Tombs - Songs To Leave
Thats it......
