Besides being legendary hardcore label, Revelation also released some books. This is the first such book I have read ever, like ten years or more ago, so it was a pleasure to read it again now. Well, this book is basically compilation of interviews with band members, key figures of the straight edge hardcore scene back in the eighties. To name a few interviews I loved, Ray Cappo, Raybeez, Porcell, Mike Judge, Matt Warnke, Hilly Kristal, Walter Schreifels, CIV and many many more. Book is easy to read and there are lots of beautiful photos from back in the days and also gig flyers and what is the best anecdotes and less known facts about some of my favorite hardcore bands. This one was compiled by Beth Lahickey, long time hardcore scene girl and this one is one of my all time recommendations.
Antipathic are American-Italian band and this is their fourth opus. These brand new four songs e.p. features brutal death metal mixed with some slamming influences, also some samples in couple of songs and even some melody in guitar work like in my personal favorite which happens to be the title song. Lyrically, band continues where they left off with their last release speaking about inevitable machine take over of the world and end of all humanity. This is not your typical brutal death metal, nor it is boring slam death metal band, this is a quality top notch four songs e.p. with blistering blast beats, moshing parts, thrash influenced fast solos and superb brutal vocalist. So go get it.
This is only thing I can say after having watched this HBO documentary about Aryan National Front, Alabama based skinhead nazi organization led by their so called fuhrer Bill Riccio. In this one hour movie shows all the preying on young boys from broken families, whom Riccio gathered in his compound, so called WAR house. Through undercover filming of their rallies, lame direct actions and fraternizing with Ku Klux Klan who were not much impressed with them and it is in fact sick how one lunatic can gather and fill the minds of broken teenagers, broken family stories, beaten and abused kids and put into their minds ideas of white supremacy and nazism. Some of their tries to convince people on the streets to take their side and join their ranks are so stupid that I laughed out loud couple of times while watching this one. Riccio served time in prison and is now active in local KKK in Birmingham, Alabama and former followers only now bring out all the charges of sexual abuse and mental abuse that so called fuhrer did over them. Never again, I wish Riccio and all like him to drop dead right now. Urgh!
