Time to support your local neighboring scene, to be exact Strain from Slovenia. These guys are hailing from Gornja Radgona, near in Slovenia and this is their brand new e.p. This record contains four songs and the music these guys play is a mixture of metal and stoner rock with some nice melodies thrown in and reminding me of old school eighties metal mixed with modern touch stoner which I am not an avid fan of, but this record is done decently and with awesome songwriting craft. I especially love song called Demons, which I listened for couple of times in a row, but all four songs are great and if you are a fan of such music go pick this one up.
It is always super to discover new fantastic band on a Saturday morning while drinking your coffee and listening to music that arrived recently. Doghouse Rose are coming from Toronto, Canada and this is their new record containing 11 songs of beautiful, melodic pop punk/melodic punk with some psycho influences behind it all, well hidden in the back but I can hear it. If I must describe the music, it would be a mixture of The Creepshow and Kitty in a Casket, but with some more pop punk influenced song structures. The vocals are fantastic, the singer sounds so sweet, yet sharp in more dramatic parts of the songs and I love every single second of this record. The backing vocal harmonies are important to me, they are also done superbly and without any flaw, music stays with you long after finishing listening to the record, making you want more and more. Great band, sure to become one of my favorites very soon!
Recommended songs as my highlights: Dark Days, Misery Train, Drinking About You.
I didn´t watch Belzebuth(2017) for quite some time because I thought that it is some possession Exorcist clone or something. Boy, I was wrong. This one is brutal! Tired and traumatized police inspector Ritter (excellent Joaquin Cosio) investigates the school massacre which looks pretty clear to solve in the beginning. He discovers that there is something totally different and sinister underneath and that nothing is as it seems, especially when priest Vasilio Canetti (Tobin Bell) mixes in his work and they begin desperate race with time.
Now, everything in this movie is just right. Story, acting led by Cosio and legendary Tobin Bell (Jigsaw of Saw movies fame, eh?), dark, dark story with almost no happy ending in sight, sadness, atmosphere, melancholy, topped with brutal death scenes that spare no one not even babies. There is a twist at the end of the movie which was not unpredictable and a little bit clicheed but the movie is done so good, that everything is forgiven. If you love horror, you will love Belzebuth.
