Yeah fuckn rights, these people know what’s up. Get your facts straight!!! Personally it was Nausea I originally identified as crust way before Doom. Stylistically I think Nausea are still the better example of what is traditional crust? Doom at the beginning were a UK band emulating early 80’s Swedish HC like Anti cimex, Mob 47 & Discard etc…
"Crust" most likely came from the HELLBASTARD 'Ripper Crust' demo and similar to "D-Beat" began as a tongue in cheek sub-genre within Hardcore Punk. DISATTACK might be the earliest "DIS" band or MOB 47-related DISCARD, but I'm not sure who proclaimed themselves "D-Beat" first. Internationally, hundreds of 80's bands were inspired by DISCHARGE: ANTI-CIMEX, CRUCIFIX, G.I.S.M., THE ICONOCLAST, KURO, RATOS DE PORAO, SSD, etc. but didn't get labeled "D-Beat" or "Crust". These sub-genres became more solidified in the 90's with Crust being more varied than D-Beat in my opinion. AMEBIX is the foundation, with their defining album 'Arise' blending Hardcore, Anarcho and Peace Punk with Metal (BLACK SABBATH, MOTORHEAD, VENOM) and "Post-Punk" (KILLING JOKE, NEW MODEL ARMY). AMEBIX, HELLBASTARD, AXEGRINDER, DEVIATED INSTINCT, ANTISECT's 'Out From the Void' EP or SACRILEGE best represent the 80's Roots Crust sound and aesthetic. DOOM and EXTREME NOISE TERROR inspire the 2nd wave of Crust in the 90s with BATTLE OF DISARM, DISRUPT and HIATUS. AUS-ROTTEN are often labeled Crust, although I don't hear the roots in their sound. They're closer to Anarcho-Punk like CONFLICT or early ANTISECT. DYSTOPIA is a better example of a 90's band with Roots Crust elements, especially when it comes to their atmosphere and lyrics. In the U.S. southern California had some of the earliest Crust: APOCALYPSE, A//SOLUTION, GLYCINE MAX, CONFRONTATION etc. D-Beat gets thrown around a lot as well, but at it's core a type of fast, Hardcore Punk drumming popularized by DISCHARGE and heard in the BUZZCOCKS song 'You Tear Me Up' prior. D-Beat as a sub-genre is generally bands who worship the aesthetics of early 80's DISCHARGE. Usually with 'Dis' in their name, similar artwork/haiku-length, anti-war lyrics and devotion to the DISCHARGE song template. DISCLOSE is the definition of "D-Beat". People might call TRAGEDY D-beat due to the drumming, but they're not so orthodox and take cues from late 80s/early 90s Japanese bands: BASTARD, DEATHSIDE, JUDGEMENT, etc.
Tragedy is not dbeat the drumming is the punk but much faster and then does crazy roles triplets and more. Motorhead starts tdbeat trend .Crass was one of the original crust bands.
I’ve always felt, politics and mental health is the glue for crust. Appalachian Terror Unit, Anti-product, Toxic Narcotic, Nux Vomica, Terminal Nation (more on the metal side, but politics are more in line with crust), fall of efrafa. Also if you like neocrust like tragedy, his hero is gone, from ashes rise, you should also love masakari.
You guys need to check out the spanish scene of the late 2000's like Ekkaia, Ictus, Madame Germen, Derrota, Hongo, Black Panda, Down to Agony etc...around that time they were arguably as infleuntial as the scandinavian scene and with their own spanish/melodic twist. I loved that stuff and don't hear about any of those bands these days.
Discharge"s "Hear, See, Say nothing" was produced by Colin Richardson, who of course worked on a slew of seminal earache bands ( napalm, bolt thrower etc) who arguably took that sound further , esp Napalm who to this day put Discharge and Siege in thanks lists on their LPs
A good watch and an interesting list. For those looking for other recommendations then may I be so bold as to suggest the following bands: Extinction of Mankind (UK) War//Plague(US) and Swordwielder (Sweden).
Yeah, I can't believe someone having the balls to lecture their viewers on crust and not even knowing that Nausea actually have released that seminal album.
Is D-beat really the subgenre of Crust? If d beat existed first when Discharge started it, was not crust that used d beat as inspiration therefore it has grown out of it, like a branch on the metal family tree?
Finally Crust/D-Beat is getting some exposure. Some of the best bands I've heard from the scene are Agnosy, Dishönor, Wolf Brigade, Demolition Axe, Domesticrust, Skitsystem, Hellkrusher and Hell bastard, etc. All different flavors but all sick AF \m/
Before anything, gotta say, Wormwitch are super underrated! They’re making some of the most fun Black Metal out nowadays and it’s because they mix it with Crust among other things. Props to Seer and Vital Spirit as well, groups adjacent to the band. Thanks for covering Crust! Of all the punk subgenres, it’s my favorite because it’s so fun and heavy
crust was born from uk82 style hardcore, so was grind before the core was melded in. Not much metal influence in the formative years but the early crust and grind bands have influenced modern metal. Some of the stylistic stuff that has been widely adopted is tape compression, anarcho politics, and filthy oversaturated bass.
UK82 was influenced by metal. GBH had obvious Motorhead influence. You can even see one of the band members wearing a Motorhead shirt on the back of the Leather Bristles 12". At the time of its release, some people even called them a metal band with punk aesthetics which is crazy Also the producers who were a part of UK82 cited the production techniques of NWOBHM as shaping their "new 80s sound of punk"
Grind is a tough one also because the super early US grind bands had barely any connection to UK hardcore outside of playing d-beats. There is a strong case to be made that grind is equal parts metal and punk, with some bands just leaning more into one or the other
Crust was born from uk82 style hardcore, ok, but also was heavyly influenced by anarcho-punk of the same era. Most of the early crust bands were into Crass, Antisect and so on... Doom was playing the Crass song "Asylum" as an intro to their gigs not that long ago.
I grew up listening Christian music so was exposed to a lot of music other people weren't, and a punk band that went crusty on a single album was Ninety Pound Wuss with "Where Meager Die Of Self Interest". I absolutely loved that album as a 14 year old in like 1997 and just wanted to mention something that probably nobody else would.
@@detonationcruster I saw MxPx with the Supertones in a church with an audience of about 50 people when I was probably 12 years old in 1996 before MxPx got really popular with Life In General. Good times :) ... I even got on stage and skanked with the Supertones, and my sister cooked food for MxPx because she was friends with the person who booked them lol.
@@detonationcruster I saw them here in central Maine, a place where people rarely tour to but the guy we knew loved punk rock and fought hard to bring a lot of punk bands to this area so we could see them, it was pretty cool. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have seen a lot of the shows I did, like Squad Five-O and Spudgun too.
I still listen to that record often. There is a local legend where apparently they were playing a church and the youth pastor didn't like their vibe. Allegedly, they cut the power to the stage and turned the lights on and one of the guys started yelling about being a "Christian vampire". Not sure how true it is, but I kinda hope it is.
Just one thing: d-beat isn't a genre - it's just a beat. All pure bands that use d-beat and aren't fully metallized are just hardcore bands. D-beat is an essential hardcore beat from early 80s on. And then it came to crust punk and grindcore.
In their own time, if you were to ask them, they would have said they were a hardcore band. But inadvertently they inspired the early stages of grindcore or power violence.
I love a lot of crust but can be a really one note genre so many times. I prefered the most neocrust side (His hero is gone, Alpinist, Tragedy) and the most Stenchcore/death/grind/black/sludge/post one. But i always hope for bands that tried to put something new and not the same D beat riffing again and again.
I'm glad that I watched this video because i learned about Wormwitch. After listening to some of Wormwitchs albums, they are one of the better bands that are combining all genres of all essential metal bands and pushing the boundaries of extreme metal to new levels.
Not tryna be a pretentious prick lol, but there were a LOT of bands before Doom. Some earliest ones that don’t really get enough credit are Swedish bands Shitlickers (with members of Anti-Cimex) and Asocial in 82. I would say Shitlickers, with Mantas (pre-Death obviously) are the earliest super extreme vocals, and Asocial definitely have some of the earliest/most-unrecognized blast beats. Other earlier examples fa sho are obviously Anti-Comex, Mob 47, and a bit later but still older than Doom are Extreme Noise Terror, Sore Throat, Deviated Instinct, Siege (83 from America) and of course Mob 47. I’d have to say proto-crust would have to be Chaos UK and Disorder. Some of these just aren’t as recognized. I play in a crust band, I had to comment haha! 🤣🤣🤣 Dope video though guys! P.S. Also the earliest American crust is Hellbent, 83 from NYC, then Sacrilege (not the British crust band) in 85. Both Vik Venom’s bands from Nausea. Definitely the FIRST “blackened crust”. Very metal! 🤘
Crust is the musical evolution from british anarcho punk. The most simple way I can think to describe crust is like if Crass and Motorhead had a crack baby.
Two bands (that share members) that don’t get enough love are Aus rotten and Behind Enemy Lines. Both bands absolutely rip and were a major part of 90’s/ early 00’s crust.
I ll hope for videos about essential skramz (or real screamo) and powerviolence. I feel those styles started to be really relevant in the metal community in the last decade.
I'd say "A Holocaust In Your Head" and "Radioactive Earslaughter" (the split LP with Chaos UK). Retro-bution are just the same songs with a too much produced sound which metalheads enjoy more by the way.
You left out so many greats... AXEGRINDER.... SOCIETIC DEATH SLAUGHTER... ANTISECT.... MISERY... FILTH OF MANKIND.... FRAMTID... those are legends. DOOM are legends... NAUSEA absolutely had a legit LP called Extinction that fuckin rules, and imo, HIS HERO IS GONE "Thieves" is better than any Tragedy song. HHIG is my fav Todd band anyways.... So many Japanese bands were ignored in this list.
Alpinist/Masakari split rules. super good. Also, Panacea - Under blackened sky: polish melodic crust. amazing stuff. fall of efrafa, lightbearer, anopheli are all melodic crust bands of the last 10 years. all absolutely fuck.
Discharge were one of the driving forces of crust as were Hellhammer and Venom....as for proto crust bands that is a tiny number...Amebix, Antisect and Anti System come to mind.
Crust is basically a mix of Discharge, Venom, Hellhammer, Slayer, Antisect, Amebix, Chaos UK (Short Sharp Shock album) and Sacrilege, with the political and, to some degree, the musical leanings of anarcho punk. The aesthetic of crust is embedded in trampcore fashion that came from Bristol.
Destroy! was Felix Havocs band. Code 13 had a much longer run. Actually, they’ve been playing some shows locally this year, and are playing Skullfest in Philly this year too.
Nomads and Zoloa are two LA bands that never got big at all but absolutely killed. Nomads has that like epic quality like motorheads overkill and one of the sickest singers ever.
Im tottlate on this but,What about what i call the (bkack and white) album cover punk bands as proto?SubHumAns,Crass,UKsubs,and of course G.B.H,(not b&w album covers 🤘😝🤘
ENT started in 80's. Like in 80's and 90's they rejected labels "Crust" and "Grindcore", they called them self Hardcore band. They were described as Crust-Grind also. They have a lot songs where they mixing Hardcore Punk with Death Metal. Great band!🤘
"Crust" originated in Bristol UK in 1981. Amebix, Chaos UK, and Disorder are the first bands that can be properly identified as "Crust". The crust part was about the appearance - a result of living in dirty squats. Those bands considered themselves punk bands. Its all just punk. All these categories and subdivisions are ridiculous and shows just how much people miss the whole point in the first place.
For some insanely quality Japanese crust, I urge everyone to listen to Effigy, Disturd, Societic Death Slaughter, Zoe, Zyanose, Grave New World, Golem, and Asbestos On the d-beat side of the Japan scene, I recommend Final Bloodbath and Final Bombs. Way too underrated for the quality of their material, although I warn you the latter is GNW-era Discharge influenced and that's definitely a turn-off to many
Crust Punk is baby of Hardcore Punk and close relaterad to Grindcore and D-beat. Later some bands added more Metal influences. For example Concrete Sox who sounds like Crusty Crossover Thrash. Interesting thing is Crust bands were one of first used blast beat. DooM for example. D-beat is HC subgenre which was created by Discharge clones and turn in to music style. Neo Crust bands are very interesting. Cheers🍻
I’m positive I wasn’t the only person that had a WTF reaction when that Blayne guy(right side) erroneously reported NAUSEA didn’t have a full length!!! I was actually gobsmacked neither of the hosts knew of EXTINCTION lp, considering that album is the the quintessential & ground zero of American CRUST hc punk album?? Not to mention beyond demo recordings with Neil on vocals Nausea’s Exstinction lp was the band’s first official release. As we all know the ep’s came later only collections/anthology’s came 7 or 8 years after the band broke up. This is pretentious but if theses guys aren’t familiar with Nausea they ain’t the right guys to be documenting or explaining the origins of crust punk, I’ve only watched the first 15 minutes so hopefully someone sets them straight? Because that’s an inexcusable plunder, sorry but I’m sure most people agree?? For those who aren’t in know & curious of the genre not only is Nausea - Extinction one of best crust albums it’s more importantly one of the greatest HC Punk records ever released 👍👍☠️☠️
Dystopia is like the Freebird of crust punk People can be at any crust show & at some point expect someone there to scream “backstabber” or “stress builds character” They are just a staple at this point Dino, Mauz, Todd… you guys rock
My top 10 : extreme noise terror "phonophobia" . Hiatus " from résignation to revolt" . Disrupt " unrest" . Enola gay Split vomityourself. Doom " Fuck peaceville" . Excrement of War. Dropdead st. Health hazard. Hiatus " way of doom" . Extreme noise error "ENE" .
I feel that Scum is a crust album the same way Reign in Blood is a thrash album; it isn't, yet it also is. Sam's argument that RIB is an extreme metal album would also apply here. The list could have at least nodded a bit more to fin de siecle crust like Shikari and Shikabane, but hey, no one's perfect. Talking about Anti Cimex and Gism but not Mob 47, Siege, Terveet Kadet or Outo feels strange to me, I must admit. Still a good vid overall.
Amebix, Anti-Cimex, Extreme Noise Terror , Deviated instinct, Doom, Electro Hippies are all influential bands
deviated instinct is a different sub-genre of crust. stenchcore.
I love Blayne, but I really wish they posted a link to the tier list or just, you know, list the records...

Dudes... Nausea - Extinction. One of the best crust LPs of all time! THEY HAVE AN ALBUM!!! Good grief! Life beyond Spotify...

proto would be GBH, The Varukers and The Exploited, probably Siege too and don't forget the Japanese hardcore scene with bands like SOB and SS
All of these are just hardcore bands, but yeah I get what you mean.
Crass, SubHumanS, GBH, Broken Bones, English Dogs🤘😝🤘
Nausea - Extinction lp (Profane Existence Records, 1990)
Peaceville started out as a punk label and punks were like 'what's this Autopsy stuff?' in 1989
Nausea, Disrupt, Extreme Noise Terror, and Aus Rotten are my top
Discharge"s "Hear, See, Say nothing" was produced by Colin Richardson, who of course worked on a slew of seminal earache bands ( napalm, bolt thrower etc) who arguably took that sound further , esp Napalm who to this day put Discharge and Siege in thanks lists on their LPs

For those looking for other recommendations then may I be so bold as to suggest the following bands: Extinction of Mankind (UK) War//Plague(US) and Swordwielder (Sweden).

We love more band suggestions!
"Extinction" IS a propper Nausea-album.
Yeah, I can't believe someone having the balls to lecture their viewers on crust and not even knowing that Nausea actually have released that seminal album.
HM-2 is THE Crust pedal, the one that made the difference in tone along with a JCM800
Never knew quite how to categorize them, but Martyrdod's "Eldopp" is fantastic. Maybe Melodic Blackened Crust??
Ooop, nevermind. It got on there.

If it has "Dis" in the name it's essential listening. eg. Discharge, Disrupt, Disgust, Disfear, Disarm.

Crust is basically a mix of Discharge, Venom, Hellhammer, Slayer, Antisect, Amebix, Chaos UK (Short Sharp Shock album) and Sacrilege, with the political and, to some degree, the musical leanings of anarcho punk. The aesthetic of crust is embedded in trampcore fashion that came from Bristol.
one of my favorite crust bands that leans more towards grind is Destroy! I prefer them over Disrupt most days
Destroy! was Felix Havocs band. Code 13 had a much longer run. Actually, they’ve been playing some shows locally this year, and are playing Skullfest in Philly this year too.
Y'all miss that Billy Davis from death threat was also in from ashes rise and tragedy and most of the members of tragedy are from his hero's gone
More great bands that came from His Hero is Gone.
Warcry
Severed Head of State
Criminal Damage
Nightfell
Spot on with Tragedy's Vengence intro
So where is that discordlink? Its not in the description as far as i can see
I'm hoping that you have In Darkness There Is No Choice by Antisect and Behind The Realms of Madness in the proto section.
Disrupt are the refined version of early ENT
Fair play to you two though, you are aware of your limitations, in regard to the early days and your interpretations. Good job.
Blayne over here only one keeping the lights on at the Banger bar lol
We don't let him leave!
No World Burns to Death? Insanity lol
Nomads and Zoloa are two LA bands that never got big at all but absolutely killed. Nomads has that like epic quality like motorheads overkill and one of the sickest singers ever.
Where is nuclear death terror?
Im tottlate on this but,What about what i call the (bkack and white) album cover punk bands as proto?SubHumAns,Crass,UKsubs,and of course G.B.H,(not b&w album covers 🤘😝🤘
Nice that Deathreat was mentioned, they were awesome, a mix of d-beat and ny hardcore... Kind of
ENT started in 80's.
Like in 80's and 90's they rejected labels "Crust" and "Grindcore", they called them self Hardcore band.
They were described as Crust-Grind also. They have a lot songs where they mixing Hardcore Punk with Death Metal. Great band!🤘
"Crust" originated in Bristol UK in 1981. Amebix, Chaos UK, and Disorder are the first bands that can be properly identified as "Crust". The crust part was about the appearance - a result of living in dirty squats. Those bands considered themselves punk bands. Its all just punk. All these categories and subdivisions are ridiculous and shows just how much people miss the whole point in the first place.
jeremy from touche amore shouted out alpinist in some video interview about albums he likes
For some insanely quality Japanese crust, I urge everyone to listen to Effigy, Disturd, Societic Death Slaughter, Zoe, Zyanose, Grave New World, Golem, and Asbestos
On the d-beat side of the Japan scene, I recommend Final Bloodbath and Final Bombs. Way too underrated for the quality of their material, although I warn you the latter is GNW-era Discharge influenced and that's definitely a turn-off to many
Zyanose might be the most terrifying show I've ever personally witnessed. Straight up danger.
his hero is gone is better than tragedy
Crust Punk is baby of Hardcore Punk and close relaterad to Grindcore and D-beat. Later some bands added more Metal influences. For example Concrete Sox who sounds like Crusty Crossover Thrash. Interesting thing is Crust bands were one of first used blast beat. DooM for example.
D-beat is HC subgenre which was created by Discharge clones and turn in to music style.
Neo Crust bands are very interesting.
Cheers🍻
Crust started in the UK and only became prevalent in the US in the 90s
I’m positive I wasn’t the only person that had a WTF reaction when that Blayne guy(right side) erroneously reported NAUSEA didn’t have a full length!!! I was actually gobsmacked neither of the hosts
knew of EXTINCTION lp, considering that album is the the quintessential & ground zero of American CRUST hc punk album?? Not to mention beyond demo recordings with Neil on vocals Nausea’s Exstinction lp was the band’s first official release. As we all know the ep’s came later only collections/anthology’s came 7 or 8 years after the band broke up. This is pretentious but if theses guys aren’t familiar with Nausea they ain’t the right guys to be documenting or explaining the origins of crust punk, I’ve only watched the first 15 minutes so hopefully someone sets them straight? Because that’s an inexcusable plunder, sorry but I’m sure most people agree??
For those who aren’t in know & curious of the genre not only is Nausea - Extinction one of best crust albums it’s more importantly one of the greatest HC Punk records ever released 👍👍☠️☠️
NAUSEA - EXTINCTION isn’t a strong album!!!!
This fuckn guy is killing me 🤬🤬
Anti-Cemex, Noothgrush and Stormcrow
Dystopia is like the Freebird of crust punk
People can be at any crust show & at some point expect someone there to scream “backstabber” or “stress builds character”
They are just a staple at this point
Dino, Mauz, Todd… you guys rock
Japan: Age, Abrahams Cross, Zöe, etc.
My top 10 : extreme noise terror "phonophobia" . Hiatus " from résignation to revolt" . Disrupt " unrest" . Enola gay Split vomityourself. Doom " Fuck peaceville" . Excrement of War. Dropdead st. Health hazard. Hiatus " way of doom" . Extreme noise error "ENE" .

Hell Krusher
CRASS were the drivers of b/w collage art.
Abrahams Cross - Legends
There are many blogspots dedicated to crust
Hellkrusher came out of Hellbastard and are more crust
blacken the skies
effigy
mortal war
my top favorites
Amebix… they really defined it.
I feel that Scum is a crust album the same way Reign in Blood is a thrash album; it isn't, yet it also is. Sam's argument that RIB is an extreme metal album would also apply here.
The list could have at least nodded a bit more to fin de siecle crust like Shikari and Shikabane, but hey, no one's perfect. Talking about Anti Cimex and Gism but not Mob 47, Siege, Terveet Kadet or Outo feels strange to me, I must admit. Still a good vid overall.
Wait wait wait... Sacrilege wasn't even mentioned once?
Wolfpack - A New Dawn Fades is essential crust.
Misery and Hellshock are the US Legends.
Some Winger
Amebix is definitely legendary
Fall of Efrafa- Elil needs to be there
