So, we've been kinda inactive for a while lately. Well, that'll all change very shortly.
Here's what's coming up:

The Demos
Yeah, we've released like six of em. But this is going to be a cassette exclusive collection of all of them. Expect some of the shittiest stuff you've ever heard from us, as well as some of our better songs. This tape is going to be jam packed with songs that we probably won't release again until we're old and need more money.

Death Fist Live Volume 1: Klub Polski
The first in a series poorly recorded live albums, this is 18 tracks or so recorded live at Klub Polski. Includes a bunch of Black Hands and Misfits covers, and plenty of awkward stage banter.


Don't Be A Little Bitch, Dance! (CD EP)
Five tracks we recorded at MoreSound, we've been promising this for a while, but we're finally getting it out. By the end of summer at the latest.


All that, plus we've just recorded 5 tracks for a split with .44 Caliber Killers. And the full length is all written, we're just looking for a good place to record it.  So, get excited.

DEMO OF THE WEEK
DEATH LIST FIVE – Don't Be A Little Bitch - Slicing straight in here direct from Syracuse New York with some kind of delightfully messy shouty simplistic chainsaw-riffing US style punkoid hardcore crust-metal road accident of a sound - s delightfully D.I.Y affair. Raging noise and screaming vocals, raw as hell guitars, blistering cheese-wire riffs, speed-punk for fans of things like those Stupids or D.R.I or a million circle-pit splating Misfit things from way back there when things were done this (right) way. Songs that are over before you've time to blink (or think), excellently messy, beautifully raw, a glorious old school hardcore mess. D L Five sound like one of those bands you would have found early on on a nine band skate-fest bill at the Hammersmith Clarendon or the Birmingham Mermaid circa '86 (this is what we want Ratty! None of your Alexisonfire bulshit). This is so raw and barbed, I just know I'm going to cut myself on the edge of the disc and get involved in some nasty blood poisoning incident that's gonna land me in out patients early next week. I love it! Turn it up, play it again - screaming bloody punk rock gore and shouting and swearing and sounding like they just set up and recorded live while the engineer was still hiding in the pub next door – proper DIY punk rock, I love it, you'll probably hate it, go get it anyway, it'll do you good – www.myspace.com/dlfive

Here's a new review from The HV Scene, this time it's of our second demo.
Cannot wait to send off the new EP and see how it stacks up for everyone.

TheHVScene.com (for whom I wrote a handful of reviews) recently reviewed our first demo. Our first really good review, it feels great.
We'll have our second demo's review posted on there soon.

Well, we've learned that people are pissed we didn't do a lyrics sheet. Also, we're glad that we've gotten a lot better at recording since these things. Hopefully we can send in our new EP and turn things around. The review is as follows:

I recieved these demos a couple hours before I left town for Xmas and forgot about them until I cleaned my room and found them the other day. So, 'Oops, My Bad!' on that one. Then I had to wait until I got to work to listen to them because the tops of the CDs are fucking spraypainted, badly I may add, and I didn't want to risk damaging my own computer. It's unfortunate that over the past few years, the term "D.I.Y" has become another way to say "Shitty Quality" and there's no reason for that, since we're living in the god damn 21st century where basically everything is virtually free over the internet and you don't need to do things like spraypaint your CDRs and get them all runny and shitty to the point where the paint drips onto the other side of the CD.

Luckily, the CDs actually played. Death List Five do a two piece thrash/hardcore punk thing. These kids look young, so I'm not going to bust balls too hard. The recordings are kind of terrible. On the first demo, the guitar sounds like shit, or more affectionately, like a bag of angry bees covered in shit. On the second demo, the guitar sounds ok, but the drums sound...um...hilarious.

On a more positive note, there's at least a notable progression in songwriting on the second demo, so they're at least getting better with experience. Some peoples can't even do that. They'd benefit from a better recording since they're only a two piece and they need some kind of kick in the ass to fill out their sound. Thrash is supposed to be frantic and angry, and the recordings don't do thrash justice. Then again, the fanbase for this type of music really doesn't give a shit about sound quality, so maybe I'm being too critical.

All in all, I'm sure these kids are better in a live setting where one doesn't have to worry about drippy spraypaint demos and non existent lyric sheets and what not.

Siczine was nice enough to review our first demo. We agree with everything they said, and think it's a pretty fair review. Read on:


Death List Five
Don't Be A Little Bitch Demo
Knifey Spoon Records (band)

This an odd two man outfit based out of the bleak Syracuse, NY, although on this demo there are basslines and a second guitar which threw me for a loop. I don't know if the one guitarist tracked them down in the studio and plays them live with a lot of foot pedals and effects? Judging by the photos on their Myspace, both the drummer and guitarist who both do the vocals, seem relatively young. I remember my first band, it was just me on guitar and my buddy on the drums and boy was it horrendous. Now I don't know if this is both guys first band because they're not too bad actually.

There are 4 tracks of punk/thrash in all which total little over 4 minutes. The songs are short and succinct. These guys definitely have a manic feel about them, the vocals were caustic enough to keep my attention. Judging by the song titles these guys have bitingly sarcastic lyrics.

This thing sounds real rough around the edges, considering what these guys are going for it works but still there are some things that need touching up. The vocals seem to differ too much from part to part, one moment it's easily audible, others it's drowned in the mix. The guitar tone is too thin sounding, the drums need some work.

The layout definitely has that oddball DIY feel, the band seems to have put some time into it by doing the cut and paste thing. The front cover is a drawing of a Mobil gas station in black and white on the back there are the track listing and credits that are pasted over a Chinese news paper with other odd images here and there. A little hard to read though because the song titles and what not were sloppily scrippled. They could've put a lyric insert in there too.

Rating: 2.9/5
