From my first visit to Amoeba SF.

Villains - Drenched in the Poisons LP (awesome record!)
Leviathan - The 10th Sublevel of Suicide 2xLP
Profanatica - The Enemy of Virtue 2xLP
Unearthly Trance - The Trident LP
Xibalba - Ah Dzam Poop Ek 2xLP
Box of Dub - 3xLP
Vex'd - Degenerate 2xLP
Gui Boratto - Chromophobia 2xLP
Serpent Throne - Ride Satan Ride CD
Xasthur - Defective Epitaph CD
Shining - V CD (THIS CRAP SUCKS BTW)
The Gault - Even as All Before Us CD (decent Joy Division inspired record, better than Interpol in any case...)
So far I am really enjoying that Villains LP, good review from Boomkat:

If you’re gonna make real metal music then you’ve got to be prepared to live the dream. The cover of this album features a blazing skull drenched in cheap bourbon and blood… and that’s exactly what the album sounds like; murderous, drunken sleazeball metal, filled with hate and substance abuse. A collision between classic metal (Poison, Slayer, Venom etc) and hardcore punk, Villains make an atrociously visceral racket and give you the feeling that the only way to move forward is to stab yourself with something addictive. Indeed the opening track ‘Before the Spike’ could very well be one of the world’s most fitting titles, as this is the entry point into a truly narcotic realm of devastating highs and ugly, bile sodden lows. Imagine watching ‘Faces of Death’ on 25x speed while knocking back spirits at 4am in a deserted NY strip joint and you’ll have some idea about what to expect on ‘Drenched in Poisons’. This is music for the body to dislocate from the mind, to let your subconscious desires do the talking for a change and to finally, once and for all let yourself go. Give it space to breathe and it could very easily get out of hand…
