(record review)SPIDERCREW-“Sounds of Hatred”(WTF Records)

I discovered Spidercrew from Vienna, Austria, about 15 years ago after I listened a lot to their fellow countrymen Only Attitude Counts and Bust The Chain, whose members formed Spidercrew.

For those of you who dont know, Spidercrew is hardcore band from Vienna, being the true representative of Vienna style hardcore family. I used to listen to a lot of European hardcore bands like Rykers, Brightside, Only Attitude Counts, Right Direction….and still love those bands very much, some of them still playing, some are defunct.

With this record, Spidercrew are continuing where they left in 2014.with their last record, meaning 12 uncompromising pumping hardcore, with some faster energetic stuff and some mosh parts thrown in for good measure. What I love about this band is that in their song structures they rely heavily upon street and oi punk making their songs catchy unforgetable street hardcore anthems. Dual vocals fit in very nice, sounding a bit like AF/Madball and it is no problem for me, since I love both of these NYHC legends. In all, this record is the solid proof that European hardcore is alive and well and as long as there are bands as Spidercrew, hardcore will never die. Top songs: “Time to Prove”, “You Aint Lived It”, “We Dont Need You”.
