(news – new video) Death metallers from India released new single and video!

Thirst of Faust is a Death Metal band all the way from Kolkata, India. Keeping storytelling in the forefront, the band tries to incorporate technical guitarworks mixed with heavy grooves and powerful drumming. Musically experimental, the band strives to bring together emotional, yet brutal music and folklore appealing to both metal enthusiasts and as well as those who appreciate the lore of music. The newest track “Aftermath“, which follows the sophomore track “Mephisto” presents brutal dark torment, heard through the music of the band itself. Aiming to take the listeners on a sonic adventure through literature and periods, the band released “Mephisto” which marked the beginning of an epic interpretation of the ever famous tale of Faustus by Goethe. The upcoming single “Aftermath” dots the conclusion of the epiphany faced by Faustus from the perspective of the band, delving deep into a mind riddled with schizophrenia. “Aftermath” recreates the troubled mind through uncanny guitars and erratic vocals from the entire band.

Through their music, Thirst of Faust batters the listener both musically and lyrically, blast beats set the pace for epic lyrics presented in both guttural and clean fashion that focus on relatable situations. The band shares their process:”After developing the frightening tale of the rise to power of Faust in “Mephisto”, “Aftermath” depicts the downfall of our protagonist in physical, emotional and mental aspects. 

Each song acts as a chapter in our musical story. The lyrics represent personal events and emotions and then we wrap these experiences through our eerie music”.

“It’s amuch-awaited conclusion to an epic tale!” – Robby Dutta (Vocalist)Atmospheric and driving, the medley of blast beats, chugging bass, and heavily distorted solos will be both intense and immersive. Thirst of Faust is recommended for fans of Alkaloid, Alluvial, Death and Cynic (Progressive/Technical Death Metal in general).

(review) Have No Heroes – Letters To Nowhere (Black Star Foundation)

Letters To Nowhere is second full length opus by Riga, Latvia based punks Have No Heroes. This one is a keeper. There are intro plus twelve songs of fast and nineties influenced melodic skate punk/hardcore on this one. What differs this band from many others are smartly written politically themed lyrics that delve into personal, but if you read between the lines you will find out so much more about situation today and relate to dealing with it through every day life and learn you are not alone in this constant struggle and feel somehow consoled and beautiful about it at the same time. Songs are fast and having such sweet melodies that make you wanna go to pit and smile at the same time. Vocals are fantastic, I love every single line, backing harmonies and vocals are so fantastic. My personal favorites are Letters To Nowhere, Funeral Of The Genre, Divide And Conquer but you will have to find for yourself your personal favorites on this beautiful record.
