(review) Kriva Istina – Mural Kolapsa (I.poglavlje)

Hey, time for another Croatian band from my home scene to grace the pages of this zine. Kriva Istina are band originally from Slavonski Brod, but are based in Zagreb. Their last album from couple of years ago is one of the best albums this scene had to offer in last twenty years as long as I remember. I was eager to wait what will they do next. There were couple of line-up changes, they got new bass player and added another second guitar to the line-up which made the band even more powerful. This new e.p. is conceived as first chapter which describes situation in our country and world and will eventually be added to full length album at least that is how I understood the plan. There are four songs on this one. What I love about this band is that they sing in Croatian language and lyrics are so smartly and great written, that it is a pleasure to read them along with the music. Kriva Istina play melodic hardcore punk with lyrics themed in some of the wrongs that are happening right now, and themes in our country are neverending with so much injustice, thievery, primitivism being at front of media and people right now. The songs themselves are kind of continuation where the last album left off, with Pitanje being my personal favorite but all of the songs I listened to over and over again. Hod u propast is also superb song and I love every single minute of this e.p. I saw them play live couple of years ago in Slovenia at Tepih na paleti festival and would love to see soon how the new line-up sounds and how these new songs sound live, I am sure they are awesome. This is a strong release by this great band.
