あけましておめでとうございます

2011 was a little quiet for Burai Core, the Origin of M 12" release and having a newborn in the house took up most of my time.  But I had secret plans cooking in the background that are starting to come to fruition.

Took a trip to the pressing plant yesterday...

Came back with new test presses...  What could they be??

Bastard, Nemesis, Slang, Warhead, Nukkehammer

New stuff in!  All the Warhead presales have been shipped and I actually have one copy left.  $10 with other stuff or $12.50 postpaid by itself. (Warhead is sold out) Also have one copy of the European pressing of the most recent Slang LP, "Life Made Me Hardcore."  Completely different artwork, gatefold jacket.  $14.50.  Also got a handful of copies of the Nukkehammer 12" and 7", $14.50 and $4 respectively.  Cold War themed savagery from Ohio, influenced by Discharge and various Japanese classic bands.  Also got the Bastard "Controled in the Frame" 7".  Finally an official reissue after all the crap bootlegs, very nicely done with silver ink and slightly updated artwork, $5.50.  And last but certainly not least is the Nemesis 7", a new young band in the classic Selfish thrashing style, $4.50.  Prices don't include postage, email me with your zip code for a total, buraicore@gmail.com.

Warhead pre-order closed

Pre-orders for the Warhead CD/DVD are sold out.  I'll get some more copies down the line, but this is it for the time being.  They should be arriving any day, so hopefully I'll have them out to everyone who ordered this week.

Also, I may be a little delayed responding to email.  My seven month old has been staying up until 11 and then waking up as soon as I put him in his crib, so I will have less free time than ever until we get this sorted out.  I can usually get a little work done in the morning (like now).  Please bear with me, thank you!

Warhead CD/DVD pre-order

I've never bothered with pre-orders before, but given how popular this release will be and my time constraints, I'm going to do it for this one in order to take care of most of the orders at one time and get them out as quickly and efficiently as possible.  If it works out well, I may continue it in the future.  Bloodsucker Records is compiling all the out of print Warhead material onto this CD due out in early September.  Pre-orders will ship as soon as I receive the CDs.  The CD includes...

●1st 7 ep CRY OF THE TRUTH（SELF RELAESE）
1. CRY OF THE TRUTH
2. SUICIDE
3. FIGHT WITH NO FEAR
4. YOU IN CORRUPTION
5. YOUR ON CRIME
●2nd 7 ep The Lost Self and Beating Heart（BLOODSUCKER）
6. Burn Your Heart and Go Through Darkness
7. 疾走
8. Absorb Shocks!
9. Crazy Soul Hurricane
10. The Lost Self and Beating Heart
11. I m Still Alive!
●V.A. CD HARDCORE BALL 3
12. SLASH ONE'S WAY
13. (WHO'S A)LAW BREAKER
14. IT'S NOT A DEAD END
●V.A. LP ONE SHOT ONE KILL
15. BRAIN WASHING BY THE SHOCKS
16. SLASH ONE'S WAY
17. LAW BREAKER
18. CIRCULATION
●3rd 7 ep DRIVE IT IN YOUR HEAD!（FASTNAIL)
19. 月下
20. FACE CRISIS
21. 日常
●SPLIT with ORdER 7 ep（HG FACT）
22. DON'T GIVE'N TO ANY PRESSURE!!

And it comes with a DVD of footage from throughout their history.  I think most people haven't heard the v/a Hardcore Ball tracks.  They might be the most savage recordings Warhead have done, and that's certainly saying something.

$12.50 in the US including postage and paypal, payable to buraicore@gmail.com .  If you want to order some other stuff, please specify if you want it to all ship at once to save postage, or if you want the in-stock items to ship now and the Warhead CD/DVD when it's available.

New items

It's been a while since updates.  I more or less took the last month off, just keeping up with mailorders and behind the scenes stuff, because my boy started crawling, and climbing, and falling off things, so it became even more of a full time job to keep an eye on him and keep him out of trouble.  He's just hanging out today, so I was able tog et all this together.

First up, the new Slowmotions single, excellent as always, and the Isterismo discography 12", both on 540, released for Chaos In Tejas courtesy of Timmy Hefner.  Istermismo are raging Japanese crustiness, obviously inspired by the Italian classics.  Next, I got copies of the recent Annihilation Time reissues on Tank Crimes.  Sure it falls outside my general focus on Japanese hardcore, but it's a similar rock/hardcore fusion, and frankly I think they were one of the best American bands in the last ten years.  Similarly, I got a few copies of the reissue of Poison Idea "Feel The Darkness" on Farewell.  Like Discharge, undisputed classic and very influential on the Japanese scene.  Finally got some copies of the newest Crude 12", "Corner".  Raw and along the lines with their last 7" on HG Fact.  And brand new is the Etae discography 12".  Compiling both their 7"s on the A side and all 5 comp tracks on the B side.  Etae were from Hakodate and shared a guitarist with Crude around the time of their "Attitude" 12".  If the new raw Crude doesn't satisfy your jones for burly melodic Hakodate style HC, Etae will.

Unfortunately, thanks to soft European cardboard, some of the Etae and Crude jackets suffered corner damage in shipping.  I'll sell the cleanest copies first while I wait and see if the label can send me replacements for the rest.

Also, a lot of stuff in the distro is getting down the last copies, so I noted that where applicable in the mailorder list.

Origin of M tour wrap-up part 1

There are a lot of great photos and videos from Origin of M's tour.  I'm going try to post some each time I update the site.  To begin with, here's one from West Philadelphia, shot and edited by Clones and Fashions.  For a higher res version, follow the link and check out their other videos too.

As for the Burai Core label, I want to keep things a little secret for right now until they're 100% certain, but I'm working on the second release right now, laying the groundwork for the third, and next year might see a vinyl release of Origin of M "Struggle".
