(review) Homemade Ski Mask – redballbluechicago (Big Eleanor Records)

a3879219020_10

Homemade Ski Mask are punk hardcore duo from Lancaster, Pa and this is their brand new e.p. out with Big Eleanor Records.

This record contains 5 songs of pretty noise influenced a bit nervous sounding hardcore punk with some really fast parts with screaming vocals in one of my personal favorites Back on my Bullshit, but also some rock influenced song structures like Shooter which has almost garage punk sounding attitude in guitar work, drumming and vocals, backed with some slow and doomy parts. Sperry Stomp and Boogey Woogey continue in wild punk raw garage direction with destructive blitz guitars, shouting vox and pumping bass, topped with great drum beat. Boogey Woogey has some weird noise melodic part in the end of the song which I liked very much. Backwoods is also a bit weird punk song, but I love diversity of the scene which enriches us in our cause worldwide.

(review) Krav Boca – Barrikade

Cover_Barrikade LP Recto

Krav Boca are no strangers to this zine having already reviewed their last record. This band is special, having members from different countries like France, Greece and Morocco. Their music is also special, with three singers, 1 performer and four musicians incorporating mandolin, guitars, drums, playing harsh punk with hardcore and hip hop influences sounding really aggressive, streetwise and yet at the same time mandolin gives some kind of melancholic vibe to many song parts, at least to me, makes me also kinda sad sometimes. But, no matter, songs are really energetic and great listening sounding even better than the last record. These 13 songs, one being intro are superb, my highlights is aggressive Brasero, but Barrikade Ft.Sara is my personal favorite of all the songs on this record. Cleverly incorporated rap, metal, punk and hardcore sounds really fresh and good when you know how to write great songs, these guys really know that. This band is also known for their diy ethics and relentless touring and playing gigs which was unfortunately not possible in last year or so, due to known circumstances. But, this music and anger and sadness, fighting spirit, all is incorporated in this new record. So, go check out this one. It really is something great.

FEED THEM DEATH: acclaimed avantgarde extreme metal project premieres new track – Minima Moralia, new album – Negative out in May

d0da7adc4951a70494ecdf2072f8435af4120943

Acclaimed avantgarde extreme metal project FEED THEM DEATH conspireswith Brucia Records to release “Negative”, the project’s third full-length album,on May 7th 2021.

Today, Moshpit Nation is hosting the exclusive premiere of the album track “Minima Moralia”. Check it out HERE!

The album’s first single, “Displeasure in Pleasure”, has been premiered at No Clean Singing and is still available at THIS LOCATION!

This highly anticipated new release from FEED THEM DEATH represents the apex of a fierce and tenacious research into the realm of non-conformity, and the culmination of a 3 year long cycle of intense experimentation, deconstruction and remodeling of many extreme metal subgenres into a completely unique and dissonant outlet.

“Negative”
is a monumentally ambitious example of unorthodoxy and noncompliance in extreme music, eccentrically fusing the aggressiveness and speed of grindcore with the bleak and menacing heaviness of sludge and doom metal, all set against a backdrop of industrial metal and the tearing frequencies of drone / noise music.

Denouncing the moral decline of our society’s descent into darkness with paradoxical simplicity and clarity, “Negative” borrows from the opus of Theodor Adorno to dismantle the chimera of individuality and critical thinking within the cogwheels of consumerism.

An anathema spelt against the culture industry for standardizing all arts and forms of expression, and acknowledging with lucidity the disingenuousness of all so-called creative achievements – in arts as in underground music – as the mere part of a wider design set to tame individuality.

In perfect symbiosis with the music, the artwork is also raw and yet sophisticated, whimsical but austere, and lavishly minimalist: created by renowned Australian photographer Sophie Gabrielle, the image was photographed a manifold of times, with its negatives sunk in polluted water and then dried allowing microbes to eat away at the negative itself.

Similarly, “Negative” unfolds as a process of negative dialectics, a backdrop of negation set against the stage of the apparent world with the intent to finally make the invisible visible
