Bastardizer - Demo

Bastardizer - Demo
01. Uranium Fire
02. Crawling Chaos
03. Mekong Delta
04. Conquered
05. Dark Paths to Victory

Well I don't know very much about this band beyond the fact that the singer is the same dude who sings for Rammer (I posted about them yesterday). I can't even find a picture or show poster or anything. Oh well. I like pretty much anything the guy does anyway.
Bastardizer (Toronto), not to be confused with Bastardator from Ottawa, or whatever ridiculous number of bands I'm sure exist which have the same root, are a thrashy kind of sludgy hardcore band, slower than Rammer by far. I dunno, I think they fucking ruled and it's too bad they didn't really release anything beyond this obscure demo that I don't even remember buying or downloading.
Ex-members of Rammer and members of The Endless Blockade are currently collaborating on a new band called Slaughter Strike, which I haven't heard yet, but they played their first show a couple of weeks ago I think, so I'm looking forward to hearing it. I heard that it was going to be along the lines of Bastardizer, which I really fucking like (obviously since I'm posting it), so I'm probably not going to be disappointed.
Long story short, great side project thing from the singer of Rammer and some other people.

[I changed my download format - Individual track downloading is a pain in the ass so I think I'll start uploading as a folder.]

  3. Bastardizer was people from Rammer/ The Endless Blockade/ Dirty Black Summer/ The Black Hand/ Ire, only played about six shows in 2004/ 2005, recorded eight or nine songs

    Slaughter Strike is a similar idea but a different outcome.

  4. Thanks Survivalist. I don't follow goings-on, I just listen to whatever I like and hope to hell the bands don't break up.

    What does Slaughter Strike sound like vs. Bastardizer vs. Rammer? I've got the misfortune of living in kingston so anything good and new I always miss.
