harsh/dark drum n bass

please recommend something. preferably without any synths,
just hard drum n bass beats...nothing wrong if there's some
spacy melody playing in the back either.

i already know; dom&roland, ed rush&nico, dieselboy, tech
itch, ...

but i need something even harsher, if such thing exists at
all.

thanks.

Nice, we have a moving shadow fan :D

I'm not too up on the d'n'b "scene", but i'd say that if
tech itch-kinda stuff isn't harsh enough for you, get some
muthafucking breakcore.

http://www.discogs.com/release/56725
http://www.discogs.com/release/1123
http://www.discogs.com/release/122425

there. I will look through my vinyl and bump this up with
some more in a few days.

panaces is kinda popish/cheesy, isn't it...it's nice (i have
3 or 4 of his albums), but im looking for something darker.

Keaton - The Invisible Man EP

Future Prophecies - "Bring The Noise/Miriamba" EP (Chapter 1
of 3), and the "Warlords Rising" EP (Chapter 2 of 3,
specifically the title-track, 'Warlords Rising'). I haven't
heard Chapter 3 yet.

Also, The Shimon remix of Capone's "Tudor Rose" is pretty
mean & nasty.

yes, i like some tracks...pretty dark and minimalistic, but
im in need for sometihng harsh this time :)

i checked one of those metalheadz compilations, and hmm,
it's all kind of similar, but all in all not harsh enough.
the harshest tracks being the ones i already have...hmm, why
is this harsh stuff so hard to find :(

i think that dom & roland`s "INDUSTRY" is the darkest and
simplest d n b. But since i went through the exact same as
you, here`s what made it for me:

crossfire
pendulum
evol intent
the militia
mampi swift
the distorted minds
gridlok
capone
concord dawn
black sun empire

hope that helps

Truly man.. if it's not harsh enough for ya, ditch the genre
label and go breakcore.
try Lesser, Vsnares, etc.

as for breakcore...i like some of it, but i got kinda bored

& roland still seem to be the harshest ones.

Have you got the No U Turn - Torque compilation? There are
some tracks like the ones you want on there.

Also get the Kemet Crew album...which may not be as dark as
you want but is worth getting anyway.

Harsh, loud and bleedin' nasty.

yeah i already linked to Torque on discogs. I think thats
pretty dark. doesnt need 'nasty' synths, just that raw boom
cha and the 'nut synth' as I call it.
I've got loads of early nut stuff (no-u-turn) and its all
fairly dark, industrial, reberberating dark stuff.

Also try some of the early stuff off 31 records, like:
bounce,end part I, end part II.... infact anything off the
1st 10 singles on the discogs page:
http://www.discogs.com/label/31+Records

and perhaps some trace: sonar/sphere?
dillinger + cybotron - light years?
