I think Jaz would like it. It's certainly doomy and apocalyptic enough. Aggressive post-apocalyptic hardcore punk is how I'd describe it.

I don't intend to enter the record-selling business, but I have wholesale ordered quite a few copies of this release on CD from Japan (where it's only currently available now) and will be selling straight from my site.

WB2D are in my view prob. the best real underground hc punk band going nowadays. This new LP, recorded in Tokyo, is a concept album about the failure of the experiment of the workers' state - "The Graveyard of Utopia." Song titles include "Black Hundreds," "Red Locusts," "Come & See," etc. Students of Russian history ought to know what these refer to.

I'll email when I get the CDs in for sale from Japan if anyone's interesting in buying. WB2D are from Austin TX.
