Thanks for the details, they make sense.<br /><br />Do you have any decent rips of the two comps you mentioned? I have them on mp3's but they are clearly a half-arsed job. I hadn't listened to them in a while (to the point that I even forgot all about Carnage). Love Storm are pretty good indeed and I see what you mean with the Frost influence. They could have been as good as Coitus to some extent in their use of frosty riffs. Genuinely dirty and rocking like they really got the essence of them. Carnage remind me of SDS (obviously) in a very good way. Listening to their songs, I felt like Urban Head Raw should have sounded like that, if they had focused more on actual songwriting and production.

They are found under Carnage(11) on Discogs. What Is Crust? What Is Melo-Core? Be Different Hardcore? is a pretty great CD comp with both Defiance and Carnage. Of special note is Love Storm, which is Japanese crust with Celtic Frost riffs. I've never seen, or heard of, them anywhere else. I don't normally like Celtic Frost mimicry, but I like Love Storm.<br /><br />Abraham Cross did everything from dance music to long improvisational crusty tracks like Deconstruction (there seems to be a group of Japanese bands that did this), and all the while, they maintained their crusty roots. They explored other sounds and styles, but they remained entirely Abraham Cross, which is why I've never heard anything disposable from them. It's not easy to vary yourself while firmly maintaining a cohesive identity, but I'm told they did. -ZMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679256753829822948.post-33859014581534529222016-02-22T13:19:00.740+01:002016-02-22T13:19:00.740+01:00I agree with you on Defiance.

Did they record anything? <br /><br />I understand better the seeming discrepancies in Abraham Cross chronological existence. Interesting stuff. <br /><br />Thanks for the details.The Earslaughterershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212895653381929613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679256753829822948.post-91989407290141813872016-02-22T02:28:26.566+01:002016-02-22T02:28:26.566+01:00Great rip!

Something tells me that they were headed towards Shikabane weirdness ("Why Do You Live?"). Defiance is one of the BIG TWO Japanese crust bands that I wish could have recorded full-lengths; Carnage being the other. For my money, they were the only two with crushing SDS potential. Abraham Cross is one of the more interesting stories in all of Japanese HC. I hope someone someday documents it in a thorough, well-written article or big box set that includes all their weird CDRs and live recordings privately distributed around the world. I know very little of it, and through several conversations, I know there is a lot more to be learned. They were doing all kinds of interesting things under the radar, and if you weren't diligently following their activities, you would have thought they were no longer a band. Nope, they just stopped releasing records and "official" material. Direct sales and trading became their MO. -ZMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679256753829822948.post-25690660901127890252016-02-21T18:04:44.914+01:002016-02-21T18:04:44.914+01:00Yes, a rather good band that is not mentioned as o...Yes, a rather good band that is not mentioned as often as it should be.The Earslaughterershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212895653381929613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679256753829822948.post-69190076588044280882016-02-21T11:15:55.692+01:002016-02-21T11:15:55.692+01:00for me iconoclast ep and tape are both real master...for me iconoclast ep and tape are both real masterpieces. i have soft spot for them ;)axegrinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016220486503244949noreply@blogger.com
