Warcom Media

[Burial Hex]

Curious to know if there is any appreciation here for Warcom Media and their associates?

Aside from the compilation CD Men Among Mice,  the collage/comp CDR Plan 8 From Outer Space and the three 7" releases (Robert X Patriot, Hagall and Book & Sword), it seems pretty impossible to find Warcom releases.  There are about a dozen or more cassettes titles that remain elusive to me.

Especially curious to hear the Blood Cement tape after reading the claim that RRRon wanted to release the original Blood Cement cassette as a CD on his Pure series, until he ran up against the seasick mix of humor and aggression that is Warcom.

Does anyone out there have these?  Would be very curious to at least hear some of those titles.  I have managed to hear the Atrax Morgue material that came out on Warcom, which is worthwhile.

Let's extend this inquiry to Sarote Industries.  In this case there is a very nice website archiving all the artwork for their various cassettes, tracts, posters, etc. http://sarote.org/  However it seems to be impossible to hear most of this stuff. Does anyone out there have the original cassettes?

I see Warcom material appear on The Ajna Offensive sit occasionally. I do believe he put out a Robert X. Patriot 7" early on (?).

"Men Among Mice" CD is legendary for me. So good! And was incredibly welcome when I first heard it. Book And Sword was also fairly stand out.

Not much to offer except a little love for this bygone label!

Indeed, at the peak of this short-lived scene, Ajna Offensive released an unusual split 7" between Robert X Patriot and Voluspå (an Industrial side project of Maniac from the band Mayhem...  now who has those tapes??).

Robert X Patriot also had a label called Strength Through Joy which released the compilation CDR Psychic Wolves Ov Midgard. There are several interesting tracks on this disc, including the two strong showings from Hagall. Though this comp is easily downloadable from the usual channels, I have never actually seen a physical copy of any releases on Strength Through Joy.

Back to Ajna Offensive for a second, they also released a 7" called Odhinn's Ring by a project called Den. Den also shows up on the Psychic Wolves Ov Midgard comp under the name Socrates Wounded.

Last year material by both Den and Hagall have been reissued on the label Withering Crypt. This is the first time these names have appeared on my radar in years. Fun to revisit this stuff.

This is the best thing I've heard from Robert X. Patriot:

I may have spares of those Ajna 7"'s. If you need them, let me know & I'll dig around.

I remember having a little bit of contact with Warcom but I don't think I have any of the tapes.

I have the 7" you're talking about somewhere at my place.
Couple of years ago I tried to find more about Warcom as you, but it seems it's almost an uphill battle. Nothing not even on ebay, where, sometimes, rare to find material can suddendly appear.
Bad. The stuff looks quite interesting.

classic label with very underground/personal approach

I think I still have some tapes at my parents' should try to see if I can get that.

I was supposed to releaee a robert x patriot vhs, but I abruptly stopped my old label.

the warcom gazette was cult.

I remember owning that 7" (& may still have it).

I have 3 copies of the RX split 7" on Ajna if anyone is interested...

I think Warcom did some interesting things. I remember briefly having some Ayrton Senna Death Tape - but this maybe came from someone else. Warcom Gazette was great reading - wish I still had my copies of it all.

STJ sold some interesting products including a variety of photocopied Miguel Serrano books and some tapes.

Book & Sword / Sarote Industries is something I'd love to hear more from... in particular the collaboration with Kerry Bolton.

Yes, I also have that one. It can be got via discogs fairly reasonably. Brilliant and hilarious! Contains the immortal line: "Only the inferior would strive for equality."! A comp. CD of some of his stuff would be a nice release. Would Industrial Recollections take it on, I wonder?!

Agreed, even when the music is not to my taste, the approach is highly unique and personal.  If you can dig up any old tapes, I would be very keen to hear them somehow.  I reckoned there must be some folks who are sitting on Warcom and Sarote Industries stuff out there, and this was the only place I could think of where they might be found.

I've still got the Jonestown Revolution cdr somewhere, but really it's mostly just 40 minutes of the good Reverand. Can't remember where or who I ordered it from, but in the same order I got Men Among Mice and a tape with tracks made entirely from the sounds of Ayrtan Senna's crashing Formula One car. Not sure if it was an actual Warcom Media release or not, can't find mention of it anywhere online. Interesting release nonetheless!

Sounds to me like you have this tape: https://www.discogs.com/Warcom-Sennacherib/release/256820

The Jonestown Revolution cdr should have at least a track by Robert X Patriot and a Warcom track.  Any chance you would consider ripping the disc?

Ah yep - that's the one. Not sure if I still have it unfortunately. Yes, the Jonestown Revolution cdr has the the other two tracks - certain I still have that one at least. Should be able to dig it up and rip a copy - I'll let you know.

Here you go mate - here's a rip of Jonestown Revolution. Uploaded using the free version of wetransfer, so it'll only be up for a week I think. Let me know if it works: https://we.tl/fmHChy6ju3
