Wow! I think Padme are the first band from Turkey to grace the pages of this zine. They recently released their brand new, third studio album. It features 12 songs and I was blown away how energetic and fast this record really is. This is hardcore punk, but leaning more on speed and anger, although there is enough melody in the songs to call it melodic hardcore. The lyrics are great, being a fine mixture of political and personal. I love the sound of this band, it reminds me of all those old school Californian bands like Circle Jerks, old TSOL and similar, even Verbal Abuse, yet with great dose of progressive, even fresh touch of song arranging. Speed breaks into atmospheric and melodic parts only to return to relentless hardcore punk. The vocals are awesome, being shouted yet sung nicely at the same time and the musicianship is phenomenal. This record is really a discovery! My favorite songs: Crossing The Line, Can`t Catch Me, 17.
Horror anthology containing 13 filmmakers that were asked to do their contribution to the movie inspired by demons, Lovecraftian cosmic horror, afterlife, ghosts and similar themes. This movie is poor clone of V/H/S franchise, also ABCs Of Death franchise and similar modern horror movie anthologies. When you have cheap budget, you can still make a great movie by writing superb story. Like similar anthologies, this one also has some great segments, especially those found footage subgenre segments, this subgenre being my favorite horror subgenre besides slasher horror. There are also badly written clicheed fillers, without any sense. Central segment which connects the movie is without any sense at all. I counted seven great segments, against six bad ones, so that makes this movie barely decent mark. Acting is criminal but there are some decent actors here and there. Gore effects are lousy or none this being direct to dvd cheap production. But, I have recently watched that Glenn Danzig`s Verotika and compared to that, this one is an Oscar winning material hehe.
Bobby Funk are from UK and they release their debut album with TNSrecords. The whole record starts with kinda weird punk hardcore with uptempo, shouted vocals and Dunc suddenly transforms in almost doo wop inspired melody then to return into nervous noisy punkrock. The rawness and snotty punk is all over the the nine songs with titles like I`m a Cat or very fast hardcore punk miniature Put Your Hands On The Car which transforms into my favorite on this record K Grind being almost thrash punk hardcore and made for fist pumping in the air and stage diving. With song titles like Breakfast Means Breakfast or Best Friends With Kanye you just can`t go wrong indeed. This is energy filled, fast and furious punk hardcore and I can only imagine how fantastic this band must sound live.
