SVETLANAS are in no way strangers to the pages of this webzine. Their mixture of high energy garage punk and hardcore punk caught our attention early on and this is their brand new EP containing five songs. The band was joined by Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Mondo Generator, The Dwarves) in 2016 and besides him, this band has one of the best original sounding girl singer’s in the underground scene ever. She sounds Russian in accent and it fits perfectly to the songs believe me. From these five songs, most of them are fast and with raw rock punk riffage thrown in, yet having some of the best at times melancholic melodies beneath it all. My personal favorites are the title songs, ‘Coca-Cobra’ and ‘The Magician’. Check this one out, high energy driven punk rock coming your way. I want to check out this band live, I am sure they kick ass on stage!
The Swedish heavy/thrash metallers MAN MACHINE INDUSTRY have released a stunning single from the brand-new EP “Eschaton II. Judgment Day”, out April 28 via GMR Music Group! The song is called “R.I.P.” and sees the participation of Heathen’s David White as special guest!
J. Bergman on “R.I.P” with David White:
“I’ve been a fan of the Bay Area thrash scene since day one. Testament, Death Angel, Forbidden…and of course, HEATHEN have all been a huge inspiration to me as a songwriter. The song fits us both perfect and it’s a real fireball of a song.”
As its predecessor, the main theme of “Eschaton II. Judgment Day” is the end of the world. The sound is stronger, powerful, energetic and aggressive yet melodic than ever! If you are a fan of Megadeth, Judas Priest and Machine Head – this is the right sound for your ears!

Killing Moon is the name of the album and the band has moved more towards good old streetrock, but has not lost their horror vibes. Go-Go Dancer is a sterling proof of this statement!
Single out on Friday, May 26th.
