Ach, how good it feels when you remember that hardcore scene is alive and well, thriving and pulsing with awesome bands and message they carry keeping the cause alive and fires alight.

This time, some Euro hardcore coming your way with Sabertooth from France. This is their new e.p. with 4 songs. I love it. The music is fast harsh hardcore, ingrained more in street punk roots than in metal yet retaining some nineties metal influenced mosh parts in the song structures. Boomerang is a superb song about something all of us experienced, betrayal, disappointment with friends in the scene. One Heartbeat Away is a song that is my personal favorite on this record. Anthemic old school hardcore guitar work, super lyrics about heartbreak and being able to forgive makes this song a mandatory hardcore anthem. Wrecking Crew is a stomping behemoth of a song, most nineties and mosh influenced of all four, talking about energy that is present in all of us at the hardcore show. It is the hardest song on this record, but it has a gentle melody hidden beneath in some song parts. The title song is also epic, journey into fighting inner demons, being able to protect loved ones and after all being energetic hardcore bomb that makes you want more of this band after this e.p. finishes. This one has nice singalong parts and I would just love to hear all these songs live because I am sure this band is a bomb on stage and I am really glad that I was able to present their music in this zine.

Write them a word or two if you like their music, I am sure they will appreciate it. Support the scene and the cause of hardcore worldwide.
