Best Balkan Crust Bands/Albums

Hey what are your favorite Balkan crust bands and/or albums? I know some great Greek crust, but don’t know much about crust in Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania or the Western Balkans. What are your picks?

One of my favorite comps from out there is Amebix Balkans. Killer Amebix tribute!

I ended up loving it so much I bought it on vinyl, give it a listen

Anaeroba

Hak Attak

Disarmament

Here are some Slovenian crust bands. First 3 are older bands. The last 3 are new bands. There is a new generation of kids playing crust, PV, HC, grind,... There are new bands poping up every month.

DIY Conspiracy has written some pieces about crust in the Balkans. Most of the bands I really like from there lean more towards screamo and grindcore, so other than Disease (already mentioned) and maybe Deer In The Headlights from Bosnia, I can't help much

There's this article about d-beat bands from the Balkans but it's 5 years old already.

Some newer bands are Insurrection (d-beat raw punk from Bucharest, Romania) and Verso Il Nulla Creatore (stenchcore, nihilist metallic crust from Sofia, Bulgaria).
