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.
They Stay Dead are hailing from Oklahoma and this is their new e.p. containing 3 songs. Their Bandcamp says hard rock from retired skatepunks and that led me to something totally different than the music on this record really is. These three songs are pure melodic hardcore punk with speed, ferociousness, a bit metalic sound, I can even here some nwobhm in guitar work of Shiny Things. But, for me the best song on the record is fast, melodic and straightforward Zipped Up, being most hardcore punk song on this record. The third song Plague Bearer is kinda most complex with middle part of almost mathematical changes and metalic sounding. This one is good one. Go try!
