***Tarantula is a solo project now with a full band, Vlad from Killing Pace, Regulate, Downfall, and more. He's taking a step away from Hardcore on this release doing a more Alt rock/Indie styled release, not unlike a Tony Molina/Tenement type. Vlad has been a customer with VC since he was like 13 years old, and its been exciting to see his path along the way, through many bands. His current roster of hardcore bands he writes for are some local favorites, and his writing in this style is no exception, with heathy nod's at Elliot Smith and Weezer, you are also not too far off from a Hostage Calm or Crime In Stereo either. The band is already actively touring just getting back from runs with Hotline TNT, Hunny, and Split Chain. This is a limited edition pressing of 500 copies.

***REISSUED!!! Originally released in 1990 infamously as Jade Tree's first release. Politically charged anthems just as relevant in 2023 as they were in 1990. This new repress comes with a poster and booklet showcasing the bands history through photos, flyers and a number of first hand stories by Darren Walters (Jade Tree), Randall Blythe (Lamb of God), Thomas Barnett (Strike Anywhere), Dave Brown (Vicious Circle Records) and Tim McMahon (Mouthpiece).

***Washington DC's first wave punk band! Originally released in 1981, this is their 5th single. This single finds their band in their full stride and possibly their most aggressive track on the A-side. Mastered off of a virgin vinyl copy. You've either owned this single for years, or about to be exposed to something really fun! This is one of my favorite tracks to come from the Washington area, and I couldn't be more thrilled to have the chance to re-release it!

***Following up a sold out 7” on the VC label, ASYLUM is back with an 11-song full-length that highlights all the reasons you love crust. Recorded with RICKY OLSON and mastered by BRAD BOATWRIGHT at Audio Siege. With a warm familiar feeling of bands like Nausea or Amebix, Modern Hysteria hits you with hardcore moments you’d expect to hear on an Anti Cimex or Crucifix album.

***Greedgripped & Spellspoilt is BATTLEMASTER’s most aggressive and sardonic tormentation to date. These 11 new besiegings are spilling over with soaring inetherial riffs that haunt and disturb; yet at a density so jagged and calculated that bones will snap casually and constantly. Extreme speed is definitely happening. Hostility is the mood. Slaughtered by the blitz of the master’s drums, and shaken to blind drooling by the audible metal bass guitar, this tale of gluttony will leave all who listen upset and rethinking their own miserable motivations. Belligerent solos and leads work in parallel with violently sharp oration, to rapidly and repeatedly create and destroy your consciousness over and over like a hypno-waking phantasmogorical waterboarding. If you’re already familiar with these freaks of fantasy, you’re still not ready for this level of high adventure - but you must take the ride. If you haven’t checked BATTLEMASTER out yet, rolling the dice on this album will not only lobotimise you—you also won’t walk the same for weeks.
