Ett Dödens Maskineri from Sweden release their new record with Suicide Records. This record contains 5 songs of hardcore/crust punk done in Swedish style, meaning d-beat topped with some melodic parts in the guitar riffs. But, there are also some atmospheric mid tempo parts like in superb Dodens Maskineri which is for sure one of the best songs on this record. You can hear old school Swedish crust punk in the music of this band, but they also delivered something new and fresh to their sound making them very interesting to listen. The lyrics are in Swedish language, but as I read, they are about todays political situation, loss of humanity, loss of one self, rise of every day racism, fight to keep yourself sane in an insane world, so great themes. The vocals are shouted but sound somehow desperate and crazed so this is another plus for this band. Fantastic band, fantastic songs!

(review) The Unsinkable-Machinery

The Unsinkable from Nijmegen, Holland are in no way new to the scene, because the members used to play in bands like Facing Down, The Minority, The Assange…this band is playing since 2016.and this is their brand new e.p. This record contains 6 songs of no philosophy, no bullshit 90-ies melodic skatepunk done with conviction and skill. Hoax is the song with lyrics that most of us can relate to who are longer in the scene and love underground and punkrock. Christopher is a beautiful chorus song with great harmonies and super emotional lyrics. Ruin is a fast punk hardcore song with multiple cool vocal melodies, enough rough to be hardcore and enough melodic to pierce the heart. Change reminds of the old school Fat and Epitaph sound we love so much, sounding enough fresh not to be clone. Jeremy is a straightforward punk song with upbeat midtempo and nostalgic lyrics and it is for me one of the best songs on this e.p. Denial closes these six songs with power and very memorable and catchy basic melody riff. This is a strong record and I am looking forward to the full length.

Colorsfade Bio:

Hailing from Gatineau, Canada, Colorsfade has been around since 2015, but carry an impressive pedigree with members issued from bands that was active 20 years ago. After self-releasing their debut EP “State Of Mind” in 2015, the band joined Thousand Islands Records the following year for the release of Scream In Silence, a three track EP that left the fans eagerly wanting for more. It’s not until 2018 that a debut full-length album saw light of day, skatepunk fans from around the world were left speechless the moment In Real Time hit the streets. The album received many praises and ended up on multiple “Best Albums Of The Year” lists. Since the release the band has shared the stage with bands such as Good Riddance, Ten Foot Pole, Belvedere, The Fullblast and Ignite, just to name a few. With a sound halfway between skatepunk and metal, Colorsfade is frequently compared to Strung Out, MUTE and Implants.
