Not Your Fathers Hardcore! Originally started as a local distro @ shows for my friends in 2002. DIY or DIE!!!!

After shows just about stopped I decided to start a label/mail-order, I released my first record in October 2008 & have no plans of letting up. I do this for the love of music & every penny I might happen to make goes back into the label for future release's.

Personal acquisition I thought would be a cool share.

This recording is a rehearsal from 1986. No vocals or track titles. I don’t remember how I heard about this band, but Jeff Robinson and Matt Martin of Capitalist Casualties are involved. The take here is total death/thrash metal worship.

This is the only released recording I’m aware of.

Restocked!

Brain Tourniquet / Deliriant Nerve “split” 7” $9.99

The next wave of devastating harDCore is upon us! Brain Tourniquet and Deliriant Nerve, both following up LPs on Iron Lung and Malokul respectively, have been a part of representing the Washington DC fast music scene for many years now. A pact was made between the two groups to challenge themselves by stripping everything down to its most primal form and delivering a concise and uncompromising split 7”. They’ve effectively channeled the groundbreaking fast splits of their grinding forefathers (Na**lm Death / SOB, Crossed Out / Man Is The Bastard, Neanderthal / Rorschach) with 16 tracks dealing with the suffering, loneliness, and misery that encompasses daily life in the 21st century. People should listen to it if they prefer their blast beat music done The Old Way. No frills. Hardcore, rugged, and raw.

Extortion - “Threats” 7” $9.99

Picking up where 2022’s “Seething” EP left off, “Threats” finds a reinvigorated EXTORTION further distilling their water tight stop/start anti-feedback power violence velocity to “communicate... something. actually, a LOT of something- too much panic, too much frustration, too much nausea, too much of everything.” The new EP is an absolute brain pummel that will leave you more destroyed than ever. Seriously, this band just keeps getting faster and tighter and more ferocious with no limit to what they can do. EXTORTION is a gift… just don’t look ‘em in the mouth.

Black 70gr vinyl housed in a 12pt custom die cut jacket with lyric insert included. Recorded by Sam Johnson at The Black Lodge. Mixed and Mastered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air. Artwork by Rohan Harrison.

New arrival!

Slant - “Vain Attempt” 7” $8.99

Hyper-urgent and super pi**ed US style hardcore played by members of SCUMRAID and BLOODKROW BUTCHER with a cleaner than expected delivery given the pedigree. Tight, passionate and driven music that goes for the throat. Crew oriented but singularly realized. Not to be trifled with.

Black 75gr vinyl housed in a 12pt reverse board custom die cut jacket with lyric insert. Recorded by Garrett Belair. Mastered by Maxime Smadja.

UPDATE = THIS BATCH SOLD OUT, BUT MORE HAVE BEEN ORDERED.

Insect Warfare - “World Extermination” LP $22.99

What more can be said about “World Extermination” that hasn’t already been said? In our opinion it is one of the top five grindcore albums of all time. It’s distinct, catchy, brutal, unpredictable, relentless, mechanically tight, razor sharp and that artwork is iconic as hell. A perfect album in every way.

This is an official reissue, lovingly recreated with the best available materials to be as close to the original release specifications as possible. This version improves on the original in that it comes with more legible insert art, a heavier jacket and a much, much bigger poster. Everything is bigger in Texas, right?

1000 copies of black 150gr vinyl housed in a 24pt jacket with lyric insert, poster and download card included. Recorded at Red Room Studios in Houston TX. Re-Mastered by John Golden. Art by Daniel Shaw and Tom Triplett.

UPDATE = SOLD OUT!!!

Immortal Fate - “Beautiful” LP

This extremely rare cult classic is back in print, over 30 years after it was recorded! 10 songs of absolutely punishing, low-tuned, guttural grind core that was too brutal and unique for its time to be understood. IMMORTAL FATE became one of the pillars of the West Bay scene back in the late-80s and early 1990s, and during their short tenure became faster and rawer, far surpassing anything that was being played at the time. This is their masterpiece. Remastered, with original cover artwork and an expanded poster insert with lots of fliers, liner notes and pictures documenting the time period. As the original press was on green and red vinyl, we decided to do these on the only color vinyl that matters: black! co-released with 625 and Nuclear Ass Records.

Small restock available now.

Fentanyl - “S/T” LP $20.99

Fentanyl’s debut self-titled LP. Razor sharp guitars, forging treble into a blade through your ear drum. Raw, unbridled hardcore punk the way it was meant to be from the Bay’s usual suspects. There’s a members of list but you probably already know it. Destruction, distress, chaos. This one’s a racket.

Available direct or via WWW.RTCRECORDS.COM
