Hades Mining Co. have been festering like a cyst in the Rochester, New York underground since 1999, playing their bathroom noise, frivolous garble, and power whatever.  They have a ton of unknown recordings released by nobody knows who, but now their bassist Dave runs a d.i.y. noise/grind label called Continuum Records where you can find tangible copies of their releases, usually in 7” or tape format.  Hades Mining Co. have released some nice splits with killer noise and grind bands on the label.  These two just arrived in the mail, CSMD/Hades Mining Co./Morte Lenta – Noisecore Apocalypse (2016) and Hades Mining Co./Hogra – Split 7” EP (2016).

I personally own six Continuum Records releases now.  Their 7” releases are great examples of what a 7” release should be.  Collectable artwork, demented noise, co-released with other deranged noise bands and labels from around the world.

            My band, Prepare for the Mindscan, has played with Hades Mining Co. a few times in Buffalo and Rochester.  It’s always fun hanging out with those guys and talking about grind and noise.  Cheers to Hades Mining Co. in Rochester for keeping the noise alive!
