Launch Control are coming from UK, Reading to be more exact and this is their brand new e.p. containing five songs. The music of this band could be categorized as melodic punkrock with some pop punk influences, but with sociopolitical lyrics and sensitivity, bringing back to punkrock something incredibly missed in the last couple of years. These five songs are really fine fitting perfectly to the mood of the e.p. The themes are bigotry(Zombigots/Cult of Ignorance), religion(Marketing for Martyrs-my favorite on this record), economy and internet(Attention Economy-also my favorite song on the record) to political greed(Paper Tiger), the songs are cleverly written and I love how the smart use of the synth in some songs epmhasizes the overall almost etherial yet harsh vibe with nice vocals adding to the momentum. This is a real nice little e.p. and I can`t wait for the full length to arrive.
This debut album of Aezoth contains 12 songs. This is basically horrorpunk, yet with a touch of sludge, doom and death rock, even gothic rock. These guys are mixing many genres but they do is fantastically. The melodies of the songs are just fantastic. The voice of the singer is for sure one of the best girl vocals I have heard in the scene for the last couple of years. The songs are dramatic, atmospheric, like phenomenal A Lonely Night Of Loss And Doubt, also superb punkrock uptempo Feed The Poor Eat The Rich. The titles to the songs contain a bit black humour and irony like Selfdissecting Zombie or Anecdote About A Lost Body also the title song which is one of the top three songs for me on this record. This is a fantastic debut album, so go try this one. If you like drama, esoteric melodies, horror and punk with goth sombre kinda sad vibe, this is the right one for you.
Rezurex are back with the brand new full length record and it is a crushing piece of music. The new record contains 11 songs and I can safely say that this is Rezurex album that I like the most of all released until now. The band continued to evolve their mixture of horrorpunk and punkabilly with nice melodies and vocals, courtesy of band leader Daniel deLeon and boy this one really sounds good. From fast and straightforward Creature, also Ghost, to more gentle single for which the video was made Mi Calavera di Amor , featuring guest vocals by Rene from The Brains, this album rocks. Also, my favorite on this record is Sacred Heart having such superb and sad guitar work only horrorpunk can provide. I didn˙t like Freddy Krueger influenced Nightmare, being too much rock n roll, too little punk for my taste. Also Dark Side was okay, but not up to the rest of the material on this record. But, more songs like Shadow or Go Away are anthems to remember for future gigs somewhere, somehow.
