Ink Bomb is an active band consisting of four very different individuals to whom the band is important. “If you tour a lot together and write and record music together, you spend a long time together. You also experience each other at times when you are not the best version of yourself. Both the pursuit of our band dreams and the creative expression provide mental support when things don’t go well at other aspects of life,” singer Joost says.

“Uptempo songs with a fiery core / Make soothing salves for open sores / Ammo for those darker days / When your hearts been led astray”

“I was working on a melody for a song and since I don’t write lyrics I was just singing the words ink bomb over and over again as a demo for our singer Joost”, Ink Bomb guitar player Quirijn explains. “Joost took this as a cue to write a theme song for the band.”

For the energetic music video, Ink Bomb worked together again with Edwin Willemsen from Ambivalent Aardvark Productions who also shot the recent video for the song Human Remains. The video was shot in a so-called Instagram museum called Akwart Experience in the little town of Elst. Ink Bomb bassist Arina: “One of the rooms is covered in paint splashes, so a literal ink bomb exploded. This was just the perfect place for the video.”

Ink Bomb will be returning to the studio very soon to record more songs for their second album, expected in 2023.

(review) Mein Herz In Flammen – ‘Herz’

Hardcore lives! Alive and well, this is one more band from mighty German scene. Mein Herz In Flammen(eng. My Heart In Flames) released their EP called ‘Herz'(eng Heart). This little beauty contains four songs of ferocious hardcore sung in German language and I think German is great for hardcore and punk rock, I love listening bands who sing in their native language. Since I speak German, lyrics deal with emotions, memories, fighting for survival, friendship, enduring in this world and so on. Music is fast and furious hardcore punk, a kind of mixture of old and new school, metalized and street punk smartwise hardcore with angry vocals and some sing along backing vocals par excellence. Unlike many today’s bands, you can feel original hardcore spirit in this one. This is sheer energy, bomb of hardcore punk for your listening, screaming and moshing pleasure!

(book) Cixin Liu – ‘The Three-Body Problem’

Dugo već namjeravam početi trilogiju ovog hvaljenog kineskog sf autora, dobitnika nagrade Hugo 2015.godine. Ovo se govori da je najambicioznije sf djelo u zadnjih nekoliko desetljeća, što nije daleko od istine. Dakle, riječ je o mješavini filozofije, znanosti, poglavito fizike i astronomije, međuljudskih odnosa, povijesti, te dobroj staroj invaziji aliena i propasti svijeta. Neke stvari u knjizi sam se morao vraćati natrag i pročitati nekoliko stranica ponovo, jer mi nije bilo znanstveno jasno što je autor želio reči, no, kada sam se jednom uhodao u knjigu i uspio pohvatati sve što je trebalo pohvatati, knjiga je postala zbilja pravi kako Ameri kažu ‘page-turner’. Ako očekujete akcijsku knjigu prepunu bitaka i nekih epskih scena i junaka to nećete naći. Junaci ove knjige su obični ljudi, znanstvenici, sa svojim strahovima i svojim osvetama, neispunjenim snovima, mogućnostima i željama da uspiju obraniti planetu od prijetnje, kako god se čini da smo zaslužili nekada da svi nestanemo iz ovog univerzuma. Ovo je odlična sf knjiga, nabavite, isprobajte, možda se neće svidjeti svakome. No, meni se svidjela i bacam se na čitanje drugog dijela trilogije.
