Noise rock legends Unsane will be releasing Wreck , their first new album since 2007 on March 20th via Alternative Tentacles . From the label: ""WRECK" is darkly abrasive and poetic music delivered with a fearsome intensity. A punishing, but ultimately tuneful album, realistic in subject matter and as engaging as it is abrasive, "WRECK" features UNSANE at its legendary best." The band will hitting the road soon with The Melvins , and a Unsane / Melvins tour only split 73 will be released by Amphetamine [...]
Australian power-trio Immolate expanded to a four piece for the release of their second full-length Ruminate . This new disc's sound is lumbering noise-metal that is directly akin to the sound of AmRep bands (Hammerhead, Helmet, Unsane) from the 90's. To get into the details of the music, vocalist/bassist Nick Irwin has a vocal style similar to Bruce Loose (Flipper) and his angry, spoken-word vocals are mostly buried beneath a wall of guitars and walloping drums. Guitarists Justin Irwin and newcomer Dave Achille wrap repetitive, noisy dirges of guitar feedback around each song [...]
I'll be damned if the Melvins haven't evolved into the American version of Motorhead. They just keep churning out new records. And I'm not talking about records designed solely for the purpose of draining the bank accounts of their cultish fans. No, I'm talking inspired pummeling, delivered without the slightest consideration for modern tastes or trends. If you're counting, The Bride Screamed Murder (available now from Mike Patton's marvy Ipecac label) is the band's twentieth release, and fourth since noise-duo Big Business [...]
DOWNLOAD: Tournament - "Washcloth", Live on WFMU 4/23/09 Tournament's debut CD Years Old came out earlier this summer and the band kicks up a wall of noise that falls somewhere between Big Black and many of the old AmRep bands. (See previous review ) Tournament is off on a Nov/Dec tour that includes a stop at The Charleston on Nov. 20th. Here are the upcoming tour dates: 11/07/2009 The Shop - Ithaca, NY w/ Sepsis, Hiroshima [...]
For those of you who missed some of the articles about Amphetamine Reptile roster (or those who don't feel like scrolling), here's an archive of all AmRep bands that were featured on this blog (it includes both bands that primarily released their material through the label, as well as those who put out only an [...]
"If Hammerhead's debut was to alternative rock what Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was to independent film -- a harrowing glimpse into the cold, hard heart of darkness -- Into the Vortex is more like Quentin Tarantino's equally violent, but more sophisticated Reservoir Dogs . On their sophomore release (not counting the live EP, Evil Twin ), the band applies a greater degree of finesse to their bloodthirsty din. Although the record pummels as hard as their 1993 debut, Ethereal Killer , vocals have become a bigger part of the equation and [...]

In 2003, MVD Visual produced this DVD, which collected all videos from three volumes of original video compilations in digital format. Description: "From the mid-'80s thru the mid-'90s, Amphetamine Reptile Records defined the term "underground." For blistering genre-creating sounds, graphics, and attitude, Amphetamine Reptile had no equal. Being far too raw for MTV, the label began what [...]
