Still Ill

The long wait is over! Finally got my hands on the Still Ill combo package. The package includes two full lengths (Bystorm and Unforce), a copy of Bystorm's raw recordings from various shows last year, and a band shirt.  


STILL ILL

BYSTORM
"Sumalangitnawa" (SLN)
August 2012

Having released two awesome split CDs with well-established bands such as Sauna from Batangas City and Pulling Teeth from Baltimore, MD, USA, Bystorm presents their latest offering: a twelve track record of bone crushing metallic hardcore in the vein of early Catharsis crossed with "The Promise" era of Ringworm, including a cover song from Boston's SSD. Fucking heavy and the long wait was fucking worth it.


BYSTORM
"Lungsod ng mga Patay na Buhay"
Summer 2011

This summer release disc is a blockbuster as well. The rough and raw recordings from the band's various performances last year is still a hit. Aggressive crunchy guitars, gut-wrenching vocals, twisted bass lines, killer percussion? Yes, it's all in the record. This live record is quite refreshing. Not too rough, not too loud, just hits the spot. 



UNFORCE
"Time for Change"

LOCAL-FAST-PACED-IN-YOUR-FACE-STRAIGHT-EDGE-KILLING-MACHINE. Nuff said.

Come on down to where the hoodlums go and you'll be surprised on what the country has to offer. You're in for a treat sonny. Support your local scene and local artists. Fuck MTV and MYX!
