Nux Vomica

Crust punk band from Portland. Reminds me of a more melancolic H.H.I.G. and Tragedy with some other influences such as Iron Maiden. This surely isn't conventional crust.

Totalt Jävla Mörker

Totalt Jävla Mörker (Total Fucking Darkness) is a Swedish crust/hardcore punk band, formed in Skellefteå, Sweden in 1996.

The hardcore punk band Bitter End, also from this town, had just broken up and some of the members (Anders, Fredrik and Tompa) decided to keep playing together. They were not especially good musicians or even interested in music, but it was rather the social conditions that kept them playing together. The idea of their new band was to scream louder and play more raw than they did in Bitter End. The line up was Anders (vocals), Tompa (Guitar), Fredrik (drums).

Extreme Noise Terror

This is the return of the Grinding Crust masters from the UK.This is a step back to the "dis" fuelled sound they were notable for in the 80´s and early 90´s.Still,you can ear a bit of death/grind(in the vein of "being and nothing).

Extreme Fucking Punk!!!

Disrupt

Disrupt is a anarchist crust punk and grindcore band from Lynn, Massachusetts. Focusing in themes like police brutality, religion and politics this band has gained the cult status and became one of the best crust/grind bands (one of my personal favorites). Their line up suffered many changes trough time and the only all time member was Jay Stiles (vocals). They broke up after a tour in 1993 due to musicals diferences.

Taking influence from early crust and grind bands (like Discharge, Anti-Cimex and Napalm Death), Disrupt created Unrest. A vicious crust assault that never gets your tired. Definitly a classic in my book.

Here's their space and Unrest

Favourite track: Religion Is A Fraud

Doom

Doom were a crust punk band from Birmingham, England, which were together from 1987 to 1990. Despite its short existence, the band is considered pivotal in the rise of crust punk, a style within the punk rock subgenre that fuses extreme metal with anarcho-punk. They are considered early precursors of grindcore (Mick Harris (Napalm Death, Scorn, etc) was part of the band for a short time).

Their first record, War Crimes (Inhuman Beings) came out in February 1988 through Peaceville Records. 21 tracks of pure crust punk as aggressive as it gets. Short and straight forward lyrics, raw grunts, d-beat, neck breaking riffs, what else do you want? Without doubt a mark on crust's history.

Here's two versions of the album:
