Here is one band from far away scene, namely Last Dayz from Indonesia. This is a three song demo featuring metallic hardcore with some deathcore and hardcore punk influences. Vocals are brutal and shouted like they should be for this pretty brutal music with some screaming backing vocal harmonies. Production of these demo songs is decent, everything hits you right in the face. Last Dayz play what we called new school hardcore in the nineties, meaning hardcore with lots of chugga chugga guitar work, double bass drumming and even thrash metal groove influences thrown in like in ‘Body Count’. You also get lyrics which are pretty dark and apocalyptic dealing with survival in world that goes down told from personal point of view and are in order aligned with aggressive and pretty brutal music being played here. Reminds me of all those H8000 Belgian hardcore school bands back in the nineties, not really my cup of tea, too metalized and too little hardcore punk. But, here is demo that contains great musicianship, brutal songs and I wish all the best to Last Dayz, hopefully an EP or full length in the future.
