(review) Karaba F.C. – ‘April Dancer’

Karaba F.C. are coming from France, Paris/Brest area and this is their brand new EP containing six songs. The music of this band can be described as melodic post punk with dramatic and intense songs, leaning also on pop punk sensibility and nineties emo core influences in the song structures. Some of the songs are more up tempo punk rock with hardcore roots, but some are spacy, rolling emotional post hardcore not unlike Croatian bands Dead Dog Summer and Trophy Jump in a way. Vocals are very important in this kind of music and I like the vocals of this band. This singer is neither crying nor too snotty, this is strong voice with melodic singing when needed and screaming and shouting when needed. Lyrics are personal and deal with themes that I can relate to as a person and I learned to love such bands singing about themes like that. My personal favorite on this one are: ‘Medication’, ‘Pain & Pleasure’ and ‘Pictures Of Us’. Great little EP.

(little movie secrets) Dark Places(1974) – odlična misterija i priča

Negdje stoji podataka da je ovaj film iz 1973., a na IMDB-u da je iz 1974., no nije ni bitno, jedino što je bitno je da je dobar film. Ovaj film ima odličnu glumačku postavu, ali u sporednim ulogama, kao što su Christopher Lee, Joan Collins, Herbert Lom i Jane Birkin, no zapravo je glavni glumac Robert Hardy koji igra Edwarda Fostera, čovjeka koji je naslijedio imanje od kolege, prijatelja koji je preminuo u psihijatrijskoj ustanovi praktički Edwardu na rukama. On dolazi na imanje, počinje živjeti u velikoj samotnoj kući i priviđaju mu se životi, odnosno likovi zbog kojih je pokojni vlasnik poludio, ubojstva i vriskovi. Za to vrijeme brat i sestra Mandeville, igraju ih Lee i Collins, pokušavaju plesti zavjeru i isprepadati toliko Edwarda da naslijede imanje, pošto je negdje u zidovima skrivena basnoslovna svota keša u tisućama funti. Kako to biva, umiješaju se nadnaravne sile i događaji se zakoturaju nepovratno. Ovaj film je ustvari gotički ghost story sa nekoliko twisteva u radnji koji su neočekivani, moram priznati da me kraj filma poprilično iznenadio, a nagledao sam se horror trilera dovoljno da sam oguglao i mogu predvidjeti neke twisteve u radnji, no ovaj me zatekao. Uglavnom, ovaj film spada u slatke male filmske tajne i super ga je pogledati, zato moja preporuka svima.

(review) Deimos’ Dawn – ‘Anthem Of The Lost’

German metal scene is strongest in the world and this is relatively new band but its members have been around in the scene for a long time. Deimos’ Dawn released their brand new opus. This band is fronted by none other than extreme metal veteran singer Marc Grewe(ex-Morgoth, Insidious Disease), but this time is not death metal, but thrash metal in its great form. This opus contains twelve songs of thrash metal mayhem done as only Teutonic Thrash Metal bands can do. The music is a perfect mixture of old school German thrash metal with darkened atmosphere, hint of melody in guitar solos and a bit more modern thrash metal with some tempo changes and a bit of groove. Marc’s vocals are a bit different, not only death metal growling, but also thrash metal shouting and also singing, so it only shows again how talented singer Marc is. Songs and heavy hitters like ‘The Final Illusion’, Too Much Pain Is Not Enough’ or ‘Deathstar Spangled Banner’ are sure to make you pump your fist in the air and wish to be in moshpit at these guys gig. Great album for Euro thrash scene.

8,5/10
