Impressively, all the daring stunts featured in the video were executed by their nearly-semiprofessional stuntman, who also happens to be the band’s lead vocalist, Karl.The song itself delves into the theme of addiction, and the band wanted to convey that message visually in the video. Even if the lyrics might not be crystal clear to all their listeners, Elukas hopes the video tells the story in a powerful and visual way.

In the fall of 2022, they released three singles at monthly intervals. “Ajurünnak” gained recognition on RockFM and Raadio2. Due to an injury, Alan filled in on bass and later joined permanently. In February, the band recorded their debut EP “Loomad Koos”. The single “Vein” (April 7, 2023) made it to the top 5 best new rock songs by RockFM listeners.

(review) ADVERSE96-‘Clear The Lane’

Leave a comment

ADVERSE96 are hardcore punk band from Liege/Brussels – Belgium. They already released two EPs but this is their first full length album. This record contains ten songs. The music of ADVERSE96 can be described as melodic hardcore punk with lots of post hardcore influences thrown in the music structures, they reminded me a lot of Croatian band called Dead Dog Summer with their catchy melodies, emotional vocals and personal lyrics to which I think most of us can relate to when reading them while listening to the record. Music is straightforward punk rock with tempo changes, energetic singing by the singer whose a bit rough yet melodic voice fits perfectly to the songs from this album. My personal favorites on this album are ‘Folded Paper’, ‘DeadAngles’, ‘December’ to name just a few, but whole album as a whole is one superb piece of work. So, if you like melodic hardcore in a way which was played in early 2000s, with lots of emotion and melody, but also energy, check out this phenomenal record.
