.Gif From God are hailing from Richmond, USA and this record contains 12 songs of heavy, chaotic, metalized screaming hardcore punk, very close to grindcore and screamo in some song structures. The vocals are screaming their lungs out, sometimes growling the music is very noisy riffs and fast almost inhuman fast drumming. What I love about this band are the weird song titles like No dude…he still likes to spray, but the absolute winner for me is the song called When you yell at me, make sure you hurt my feelings. There are some atmospheric, almost post hardcore parts like in Whats the BP2BB song, but mainly it is crushing and noisy fastcore sreamo grind. Good one.
Eastern Europe still has vast and undiscovered underground scene and Complete! from Ukraine are one such jewel of that scene. They recently released their debut full length album and I am so happy I had pleasure to listen and review it. The record contains nine fast paced songs and the music is no holds barred, no philosophy, no bullshit old school fast melodic punk/skatepunk like we used to listen and still love, meaning nineties touch all the way with some modern hardcore influences here and there. The lyrics are in English and deal with personal themes, yet are still political in a way, and they are very well concepted and written. The vocals are mainly melodic, but at times screamed and shouted in hardcore way. The whole album is one energy bomb and I like such bands, never enough of fast paced melodic, well played songs. My favorites: Rejected, Endless Winter, Static State.
From Today are coming from Poland capitol Warsaw and this their debut album. Although the band was formed in 2016., the members have been active in many bands in Polish hardcore punk scene throughout the years. They changed line-up and stability came, so it was time for debut full length to see the light of day. This record contains 11 songs of street hardcore in the vein of all those NYHC bands we love so much meaning Madball, Agnostic Front, but also Rykers, Brightside and similar Eurocore bands from the nineties I love so much. That means faster and more aggressive material, with songs like Energy Gain, Stay True or This Is Our Mission being my favorites. If you love your hardcore fast, at times moshing hard and with singalong gang backing vocals, this is the right one for your. Nothing new, nothing revolutionary, but done with style.
