(record review)Peste-Peste(This is Core)

Leave a comment

Peste is a new punk/hardcore project with members of Tutti I Colori Del Buio, Haram, If I Die Today and Papazeta. I listened and reviewed their new record out via This Is Core for our zine.

When we talk about Peste music, we talk about gritty, dirty sounding darkened hardcore punk like Integrity and similar bands with a dose of black metal influences like in my favorite song on this record called Coffins. Besides that in other four of five songs we get the overall vibe of despair, death, decay and all other desperate feelings that man can feel. No hope, no light at the end of the tunnel, only anguish, guilt, no compromise and death. Besides classic punk and blastbeat parts, this band loves to sail in murky waters of sludge, like sailing through the mud and swamp of this life towards total void and nothingness. Utter void and no afterlife. This e.p. is not for your everyday life loving hardcore hugging bro fan. This is them music which can be used as the soundtrack to the end of the world, with no new begginings and no new starts. I love it.

(record review)NEGATIVE VIBES-Broken Mind

Leave a comment

Poland has an awesome underground hardcore punk scene, just waiting for you to discover all of the beautiful bands out there. This time, I listened and reviewed the new Negative Vibes record.

These guys are hailing from the Polish capital, namely Warsaw and play their vision of angry and fast hitting hardcore punk. Knowing the political situation in Poland, which is similar unfortunately to our country, there is a lot of reason for punk hardcore bands to be angry and make energetic music full of rage.

This album contains 12 songs, one being cover by old great Polish band Homomilitia. The music reminds me of Resist, early Poison Idea and similar bands. No philosophy, just plain in your face hardcore punk with shouted lyrics, mix of personal and political issues and short but sweet songs. This album made me hungry for more, so I turned it around and listened to all of it once more. And once more afterwards. Great stuff! Best songs in my opinion: When I´m Dead, Like An Ash.
