(record review)THE THEATRE ZOMBIES-“Welcome To Oblivion”

Leave a comment

The Theatre Zombies from USA were already featured on the pages of this zine when I did an interview with them.

This Halloween, their new album came out and it is time for me to write something about it, because it is excellent. The album consists of 6 songs of fast, energetic and melodic horror punk with pop, hardcore and metal influences. The opener “Patient Zero” has a beautiful melody in bridge and chorus completed with nice guitar solo. “Carfax Abbey” is a metallic and great energetic melody bomb of a song. All of the songs are fast paced and I can only imagine how this sounds live, probably I would shit myself from joy listening and dancing to this. The choruses are anthemic and have a lot of gang singing back vocals so everyone can join in. What impressed me the most on this record and about this band is that this guys can really play and melt my face of with their music. This is an excellent album. Get it!

(record review)CRNI DANI U VATIKANU-“S/T e.p.”

Leave a comment

With a name like this, in Croatian language meaning Black Days in Vatican, this Croatian band hailing from Virovitica could be easily mistaken for some wicked black metal or death metal band.

Well, wicked they are, but the music this band plays is total avantgarde and experimental kind of punkrock mixed with pop and some subtle indierock and death metal elements. If I should compare their music with someone, Dekubitus and Schmrtz Teatar come to mind, only this guys handle their instruments and have song structures way better than aforementioned bands.

The ep contains 8 songs with lyrics in Croatian language. The vocals are done in a weird way with singer singing the lines in some bizarre upper regions, shouting but also kinda chanting. Throw in some disturbing keyboard backgrounds and you get an original and memorable piece of music. I would really like to hear and see this live, because I am sure that would be an awesome experience.
