Malaise are new hardcore band from Vienna, Austria. This is their demo released on tape with Hardcore For The Losers. I listened and reviewed for our zine.

There are four songs on this demo, meaning intro plus three songs. The music in the songs is not very fast, but more midtempo a bit harsh hardcore, but with very audible punk, mainly streetpunk influences. This is not your metalcore crap that tries to be hardcore nowadays, but pure hardcore punk with balls. The lyrics are personal as I can understand and deal with usual hardcore themes. The only faster song on the record is Debris while Dust of Death and Parasite are more slower but great songs. Good hardcore and good demo tape.

8/10
