Now, I have heard only praise for this one from others that watched it. I had no expectations, but boy, was I surprised. Chris Hemsworth plays Tyler, hardcore mercenary, he and his team are in a business of saving teenage boy, son of mafia boss, who was abducted by another boss to humiliate the father who is in prison.

Tyler and his crew come to the city and manage to save the boy, but then things go wrong and Tyler and the boy must shoot their way through the whole city to get to extraction point. Tyler must fight gangs, kids, police, special forces and mafia goons. Based upon graphic novel called Ciudad this  one is an instant classic for all fans of mindless shootout action packed movies in the vein of legendary Raid. This one is full of flying bullets, explosions, snipers, death and full on intense old school action movie. Hemsworth is ideal for such role of experienced yet traumatized mercenary, the villains are also great, typical for such movies and I really enjoyed this one. If you are a fan of such movies as Raid, go see this one you will not regret it.

Plot 13 are horrorpunk duo and this is their brand new release which contains 6 songs. This is a Haloween gift demo single which contains only cover songs done nicely. There are two Misfits songs(Halloween and I Turned Into A Martian), DieMonsterDie song(1000 Corpses Walk The Earth), Ramones song(Pet Sematary) and Murderdolls song(Summertime Suicide).  The vocals are nice, quite beautiful for horrorpunk band, music is done decently and I would definitely like to hear the band´s original material very soon, because I have a feeling that these guys could really be great in our beloved genre. Everyone has to begin somewhere and this is quite a nice beginning, so support and listen, also write a word or two to the guys, I am sure they will appreciate it.

(review) Bent Blue – Between Your And You´re (Modern Illusion Records)

Modern Illusion is relatively young record label in the scene but they deliver superb releases. This time they delivered demo by hardcore band from San Diego, California called Bent Blue.

This demo contains five songs. While listening to the songs, it brought back two feelings in me. First, it reminded me of the early nineties when we started in the scene as young and idealistic kids, loving the early nineties hardcore sound and mourning a little for not being a bit older to experience old school youth crew feeling and vibe of the late eighties. Well the music of this band sound just like that. Like early nineties hardcore with some groove, smart songwriting, interesting solutions in parts of the songs, yet also being fast old school hardcore with melody, anthemic riffs and nice vocals. Of all the songs, my favorites are They Ask Why and Influence Me. This is a great demo, can´t wait for the full length.
