MP3: Haust - Ugly fucking Oslo

2008 has been an ugly year in many, many ways. Bush is still president, the economy is a mess, new scandals seem to pop up every day. It's only fitting that some of the year's best music reflects it and no band does that better than Norway's Haust. Every song on their debut album "Ride the relapse" is unrelentingly harsh with the cold edge of black-metal, but also imbued the passion of hardcore punk. All you need to know about "Ugly fucking oslo" is right there in the title -- the brutality of the song is obvious before it even starts.

Besides the track I've posted today, also be sure to check out the new podcast mix I've added to the articles section. Like I said, Haust is simply one of many bands out there reflecting the zeitgeist. Perfect tunes for bad times.

Great stuff, especially if you're interested in the Norwegian underground. And that Coffins album on a few of those lists? 100% killer, even if they're from Japan (and on a label here in Olympia, WA).
