Everybody carries the dark side in themselves, so I am no different. There is a dark side that separates us from the others, Othismos do not care about the music boundaries with their darkened hardcore crust. I listened and reviewed their record for our zine.
I already wrote a couple of times in this zine, how I love and respect the vast and mighty Italian underground scene. Formed in 2009., Othismos were straightforward hardcore punk band in their beginnings. They evolved through the years of their journey in darkness and nowadays they play darkened hardcore with sludge and black metal influences thrown in. This record contains 8 songs and although some of the material has a lot of chaotic song structures, there is still enough dark atmosphere and vibe to make it pleasent like in Tale of a righteous man which is for me one of the best songs on this record. The lyrics are in English and Italian and the songs are perfect soundtrack to the apocalypse, to the end of this miserable world. What I love about these guys, is how they managed to combine the old school vibe of Negazione, Arturo, Crunch and other Italian hardcore bands with darkness and blended it into modern soundtrack to the armageddon.
