No Sanctuary from Pamplona just released their new record. The thing about this band is they sound pretty original and different from other clicheed classical d-beat hardcore punk bands. No, they rather choose another way, mixing crust hardcore punk with darker elements of Celtic Frost, Black Sabbath, sludge and experiments of Amebix. This record contains 7 songs that are maybe a bit longer in duration but in no way boring. I love the dark atmosphere, slow rolling of drums in doom parts, the vocals ranging from shouting, chanting, almost gothic melodic singing, screaming and whispering. Also, I love when band uses samples in their music, No Sanctuary use samples very smart in their song structures thus making songs even richer with thick atmosphere. The lyrics are in English and in Spanish, from great ode to John Carpenter and VHS era(He Lives) to horror(Curse of the Werewolf) and for me the best song on this record, epic The Weaver in the Vault being Lovecraftian in atmosphere and lyrics. This is truely one of underground´s gems so go listen to this one.

(review) Teenage Bottlerocket/Human Robots-split 7inch(Fat Wreck Chords)

I met Ray Carlisle at this years Punk Rock Holiday when he was playing ball in front of the stage in the hot afternoon hours with his kid Milo. Later that night they delivered mindblowing fantastic gig, that will stay in my memory for as long as I live. This seven inch is in fact the split e.p. of Teenage Bottlerocket and Ray´s kid Milo´s one man band Human Robots. Both bands provided two songs with Teenage Bottlerocket having two songs Everything To Me and Olivia Goes To Bolivia delivering mindblowing pop punk Ramonescore like we are used to from this fantastic band. Human Robots´side delivers two songs Step On ´Em All and I Want To Hang Out With You. The latter being a bit better, but it is the fine effort from this young man and if he continues that way, the future is bright for him, because he will for sure make killer music one day.
